Spanish Military Men Urge Dictator

Bayonne, Oct. 18.-Advices received
here from Madrid state that members
of military clubs openly severely
criticise the government for conclud-

peace" Some of them suggest the es-
adjustment of a military dictatorship
under the present dynasty.

TAILOR-MADE GOWNS.

TAILOR-MADE GOWNS.
A number of the new tailor-made
gowns show a great deal of stitching
on bands that are applied, and in
colors, revers, cuffs and belts. Some
of them have stitching in a contrast
done in self-color. Buttons are a
ing color, but those of better style are
feature on street costumes. and are
used in small numbers of good size or
are put on in quantities of very small
size. Brass buttons of tiny size set
very close together are much used on
street dresses for misses and young
women. Very narrow gold braid, a
mere thread, follows stitched bands
buttons are worn. Belts on street
dresses have lost their crushed folded
lcck and are severely plain, fastened
with a severe dull clasp or ribbon
bows made from braid or stiff ribbon
that may serve as a trimming for the
gown.-Mary Katherine Howard In

ion.
FASHIONS FOR MEN.
This year, in actual clothes, there
have been very few changes from the
fashions of last winter. Then began
the adoption of sober attire, and
grays, drabs and blacks, in tweeds and
homespuns this year, again will lead
FOR business and morning suits. The
tweeds and worsteds are, however, in
many patterns, but these are not in
the least pronounced, and the overlap
ping checks, plaids and squares have
sometimes to be thrown strongly in
the light to be made visible. In Lon
don the majority of the sack Or lounge
suits have been made with a double
breasted REFER jacket or coat. This
has a double row of three buttons and
is cut somewhat high in the neck, and
is the length Of an ordinary sack coat
There is no outside breast pocket, and
the two side pockets are with flaps Or
without them. There are also single
lutely confined to gray. There are
some greenish and gray mixtures, and
some browns as well, and other pat
terms in these wooden fabrics have
broken lines, or even the welI-known
herring-bone design. There is GER
tainly a great variety from which to
choose, and in blacks the rough goods

Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1898-08-03

The Great Northern road has been
divided into TIRES general divisions,
the change taking effect on Aug. Ist.
General Superintendent Harding is
sued a circular naming J. M. Davis
superintendent of the Breckenridge
division, with headquarters at Brock
enridge. r. H, Bowron has been
transferred from the Breckenridge d.
vision to be superintendent of the
Willmar division. The entire system
embraces the Great Northern, the
Willmar & Sioux Falls, the Duluth,
Watertown and the Pacific Coast
lines. The eastern district of the road
includes the following subdivisions:
Terminal division, St. Cloud & Fer
gus Falls division, Willmar division,
Breckenridge division, Northern di-
vision, Dakota division, Montana d.
vision. The western district, with
headquarters at Spokane, includes
the Kalispel and Cascade divisions
and the Pacific coast lines. By this
change in divisions the railroad pop
ulation of Willmar will be increased.
Wil]mar will be headquarters for
those on the WATERFOWL line instead
of Benson.

will make 80 hours. Rather short for
nearly four months. The tropical eli
mate is just fine. One does not know
how to enjoy life until he has been
where he is Obliged to mop sweat all
the time Navy, life seems to agree
with me. When enlisted weighed
in my nature dress l42 pounds, now I
weigh in the same dress $50. That is
gain of two pounds per month. If
that continues will be heavyweight
at the end of my first cruise.
AS I look over the list of names of
the boys from Meeker and Kandiyohi
counties see many that are familiar
to me. I wonder will they ali. return
or will any? do not see that there
were any from those two counties that
shipped in the navy. Anyhow, I was
the first man from Meeker county to
go to the war. I have been compli-
mented by many for it, and to tell the
truth I guess I feel a little big over it
myself. But will be first or last to
return, or who or which will return?

go on duty in a few minutes. Hoping
that these few hastily written lines
will find you all in the best of health,

Our Georgia Letter.
WACO, GA, july q, 1885,

WACO, GA, July q, 1898.
Editor Willmar Tribune:
I thought would write a few lines
to the readers of the TRIBUNE and
give them some information about
what my regiment is doing in the
sunny South.
The Third regiment was moved
away from Fort Mcpherson and taken
down to the Government Rifle Range,
two miles from the town of Waco or
sixty miles from Atlanta. Fort Nc
Pherson is going to be a hospital and
a military prison, so that all the
troops encamped there will be moved
away. Our lieutenant wanted to give
us some practice in shooting, SO he
took us down here, where we will be
practicing target shooting. This rifle
range has an area of 1850 acres and is
covered mostly by forests. It is a
very billy country. We are $50 men
in camp here and every two soldiers
have a tent together. A canteen has
been opened up here and we can get
anything we want at very low cost,
because the government is in charge
of it. Ten thousand rounds of ammu-
milton was received, and we will be-
gin target shooting as soon as things
can be got ready.
The water is very bad aud has been
condemned by the army surgeons. A
great deal of sickness prevails down
here in camp. I don't think that we
will stay at this place very long on
account of the water. There is some
talk about moving the Third further
north. We are skirmish drilling every
day in the hills, running around and
lying down behind rocks, trees or
anything we can find. There is con-
siderable rain here. It is very warm
in the middle of the day, but the
nights are cool.
There are four guards on duty all
the time and three relieves with four
guards in each relief, which makes
twelve guards. Each relief is on duty
two hours.
The fruits down here are very late
this year, but they will be plentiful.
The climate is not very healthy. The
people look poor and pale. I don't
think we will be sent out of here until
in the fall on account of the outbreak
of yellow fever in Cuba.
This is all the news I have for this
time. This letter leaves me in good
health. I remain a reader of the
TRIBUNE.

Y. M. e. A. Benefit.

= 80 " i : : i - ~
!: An ice cream social was given at the
park last Saturday evening by the
ladies of Willmar for the benefit of
the Y. M. G. A. The committee in
charge met with generous response
and the ''good things" from all parts
of the city fairly overwhelmed. them.
The band came out and discoursed
music during the evening, which added
greatly to the enjoyment of the occa-
sion. The interest shown proves that
our people have a kindly feeling for
the new organization. The surplus
of ices and cake was disposed of at
the rooms. A circular was distribu-
ted, the contents of which we give here
with:
FREE READING ROOM.
The Young Mems Christian Associ-
alton of Willmar has opened a free
reading room at their quarters in
the Gilger block, where young men
are welcome to spend their time dur
ing the evenings. Daily and weekly
papers are furnished and libra

supplied. The rooms are as yet scan
tily furnished, and this ice-cream So
cial so generously arranged for by
the ladies of Willmar will contribute
towards remedying those defects. Any
one who feels interested in the work
of furnishing and identifying these
rooms is invited to call any evening
and the attendant will show what is
needed
BOOKS FOR LIBRARY.
Donations of good moral books are
solicited. But in order to secure at
once good supply, the Association
also solicits the loan of books and
files of standard magazines. The AS
ISOLATION promises good usage. as an
attendant will always be present atthe
rooms when open to the public and no
books will be allowed to be taken from
the rooms. On receipt of books, the
librarian labels and catalogues them,
recording the name of owner. A re-
celpt is given in full, upon the presen-
tation of which the books will be re-
turned. A number of books have
been obtained in this way, and if all
the good people of Willmar who have
books lying idle would loan some of
them to the Association, Willmar
would in effect have public library
DINO small proportions. Good books
in the Swedish or Norwegian Language
es are acceptable. Persons interested
are requested to call at the rooms and
look over list of books already Sc
cured in order to avoid duplication.
