DR.. johnson was surprised last week
by being informed that there was at
the depot a surgical chair shipped
to his address by Traux Green & Co..;
Chicago. Sure enough the doctor
had been contemplating buying such q
piece of furniture, but knew he hadn't
ordered it. In the meantime he Sc:
cured notice "ordered and paid for by
some of your Willmar friends and
presented with compliments. The
doctor is now trying to figure out who
those friends are. The chair is the
latest improved "Wabash'' surgical
chair and the most perfect piece OF
mechanism made in that line. The
doctor lives in hope of sometime
discovering tile names of those Wilt
mar friends so as to get a chance to
express his kind feeling toward. them.
He especially invites them to come to
his office and satisfy themselves as to the
artistic beauty and practical utility OF
their present. He says he can demon
strate those points without asubject to
operate upon. - =,

The 9Th Street Crossing.

Quite number of people of this VIII
lage have spoken to us about the con-
templated vacating of 9Th street over
the railroad right of way, so that
word of explanation may not be out of
order. The case is simply this: The
railroad company is building a new
coal shed west of eighth street. This
leaves the eighth street crossing here
after between the yard and the coal
sheds more dangerous than
in the past. Hence Mr.. Bowron the
superintendent of this division called
on the council to see whether it would
not be good plan to take steps to
close the eighth. street crossing and
open another crossing outside of the
yard, at tenth street. Now understand
there is no attempt on the part of the
railroad company or any of it's officers
in any way to gain any undue advan-
tage over the village. On the con-
trary the Great Northern railroad is
interested in the welfare and prosper
ity of Willmar as being Identical with
the best interest of the company. And
let it also be understood that while the
village council is jealous and watch
full of the rights and interests of the
village, as tits it's duty to be, the coun-
Gil is not going to reject proposition
that will benefit the village just be-
cause it is made by and will also bene-
fit the railroad company. In fact the
council is ready and willing to aid the
railroad company to expediate and
facilitate it's large business here in
every proper and reasonable way.
So don't worry. There will be no
fight between Willmar and the rail-
road Co. This matter of crossings
will be adjusted amicably and Salts
factorily for the best of the public as
we'll as the railroad Co. The railroad
company and its officials are showing
a very generous disposition towards
the village, and the present council
fully appreciates aud reciprocates this
attitude of the company. c..

there seems to be a serious disagree
ment among the silver men as to what
the price of wheat ought to be. Blano
says "under a good government wheat
would be worth S1.75 instead OF a dol
lar" Ex-Congressman Towne says
wheat ought to be selling at $3.50, and
Altgeld declares that $3.50 would be
the price if this country had free silver
coinage. Bland and Altgeld under
estimate the beneficent influence OF
free silver coinage. They merely made
an offhand guess, whereas there Is
some logic underlying Towne's figures.
With silver and gold at the present
commercial ratio, dollar wheat, meas
ures to $3.50 in free coinage dollars, and
that is the price, plus freight charges
and import duty, for which wheat sells
today in Mexico. So the logical slogan
for Mr.. Bryan's followers today is free
silver and $3.50 wheat"
