Their 25th Anniversary,

The home of DR.. and Mrs. E. S.
Frost was the scene of a very pleasant
gathering of our people last Saturday
evening. The friends of the doctor
and his estimable wife had planned a
surprise for the occasion of their sill.
yer anniversary, and on the above
date they assembled at Bonde's hall,
to execute their plans, leaving for the
Frost residence about $50 O'Clock.
When the large company of invaders
arrived and took full possession o1
the house it was a most happy "sur.
prise" for the doctor and his, family
who entered into the merriment with
true hospitality. A cash donation o1
sllO in silver was presented to Dr.
and Mrs. Frost. Refreshments were
served on the lawn by the ladies and
the guests, numbering about 25O, en-.
]oyed the hospitality OF their host and
hostess until a late hour. The bani
added to the enjoyment of the occasion
by rendering several selections dur.
ing the evening. '~- p
DR.. and Mrs. Frost are among the
early citizens of Willmar, and thei,
friends hope to see them spend many
more years in our midet, even to the
time of the celebration OF their fiftiett

rendered a Reception.

A most happy event was the recep-
tion rendered to Mr.. and Mrs. w. J.
Costello on Monday evening by their
Willmar friends. The BOnde hall,
which was publicly opened for the first
time on this occasion, presented a
pretty scene as the guests were as
se1ubled to do honor to the bride and
groom. At nine o'clock the sweet
strains of the Cafarelli Orchestra an
nounced the reception hour and the
ceremony of presenting the guests to
the bridal pair was commenced. Mr..
and Mrs. Martin Bitterness received
the guests upon their arrival and pre-
sented them to the bride and groom.
They were assisted in receiving by
Mr.. and Mrs. John Costello, Sr., par
ents of the groom. After this cere-
mopy, the grand march was an
nounced, which opened the dancing
for the evening. The hall was we'll
filed by the merry guests, who occu-
pied the dancing floor until the ban
quet hour arrived. Light refreshments
were served in the dining hall, to
which it is needless to say all did
justice. After supper dancing was
again INDUCED in and kept up until
the early morning hours. The guests
took their departure with best wishes
for the bride and groom, who left
yesterday afternoon for their home in
Minneapolis.

DIED,

William O'Neill, one of the old and
respected citizens of the town of Kan
diyohi, died last Friday night from
injuries sustained in recent accident.
He had been out in the field at work
stacking, and was driving with a hay
rack when the horses became fright
ened. Mr.. O'Neill was standing at
the rear end of the rack and was sud-
denly jerked off, causing him to fall
backwards in such a manner as to
break his back. He was picked up in
a paralyzed condition by the men in
his employ, and taken to his home,
where he fingered for several days un-
til death came to his relief.
Deceased was about fifty years of
age, and leaves to survive him a wife
and five children, who have the sim
cere sympathy of the community. The
funeral took place last Monday moru-
ing from the Catholic church at Kan
diyohi, Rev. Father Boland oniciat-
ing. The remains were inferred in the
church cemetery.

Dog Seares Burglars.

with the idea of committing a theft,
attempted an entrance into the Rod

the store was opened up for business
the next morning it was discovered
that the, back room, used for ware
house purposes, had been entered by
the removal of q board in the south
wall. The inner glass door which
leads into the main store had been
tampered with, as part of q pane of
glass had been removed large enough
TO admit the hand through so as to
unbolt the door from the inside. Mr..
Rodlun's watch dog was in the store
at the time and it is believed that the
night proWlers were scared away be-
& fore accompl lishipg their purpose, as
nothing was found missing. The
chfulness OF the dog no doubt
saved Mr.. Rodlun ! heavy loss and
the animal u now more valued than
