Your
Duty

If medicine is to cure a dis
ease, it must be good medicine
the best only is good enough.
Your duty to yourself and to
your doctor is, to go to the very
best druggist you can find, with
out letting dollars and distance
stand in your way. In doing
your duty we have every reason
to think that you will come here
with your prescriptions.

calities should not be considered but
that we should discuss the question
and get at the best manner to act. If
a mistake had been made at the last
meeting he for one was willing to COR

Mr.. Crosby wanted to kow how much
would be left of the SIS, 900 after car
rying out Mr.: Rice's resolution if car
ried. g..
Mrs. Rice stated that if the board
was left without and definite instruc-
tons as to the building Of the school
houses she thought that about $500
would remain for building on the
site OF the present Hi h school build
ing.
A. E. Rice stated that a school
house for years. course would cost
al out $1,000.
Mr.. Wharton then made lengthy
talk in favor Of the ward schools and
had quite a controversy with Mrs.
Rice who was contending for enlarg-
ing the present High school.
B. S. Covell then spoke in favor of
ward schools. He stated that he had
had some experience in school work,
about 16 years, aud he claimed that
those who wanted ward schools were
building for the future and those op-
posed for the present. He thought
that the present High school could be
placed in good shape with $500.
Mr.. Crosby then introduced the fol-
lowing resolution as substitute for
Mr.. Rice's: "Resolved, That $500 be
set aside from the SIS, 900 to improve
the old building and that the $14, 500
be used to build room house in
LIST ward, 2 room house in End ward
and room house in 3rd ward, and
that the receipts from the sale of the
old school property in 1st ward be ad-
ded to the $l4, 500 and be expended as
per instructions. The resolution pas
sed almost unanimously.
The meeting then adjourned.

~, j. BRYAN ONI7TH OF MAY.

By invitation VIM. J. Bryan spoke
at the celebration of the 18th of May
by the Norwegians of Chicago. Mr..
Bryan said in part:
II am glad to join with the liberty
loving sons and daughters of Norway
in the celebration of this anniversary
O: the establishment of independence
and self-government in their native
land. Devotion to freedom has long
been a characteristic of your people,
and it is a characteristic which espe-
cially fits them for American citizen
ship. Llberty-personal, civil and
religious-is the goal toward which
the world is moving and the land of
your adoption is leading in the march.
Our nation, because of its material
and government advantages has drawn
to it's shores multitude of ambitious,
enterprising and Industrious emf
grants, and these, coming from all
parts of Europe, have brought with
them the ideas and customs of their
respective countries. Here in free
America the process of comparison
and selection goes on. So long as we
believed in the omnipotence of truth
we must believe that out of this class
of ideas and customs will come the
survival of those ideas and customs
which represent our business best.
This commingling of the fruits of the
older civilizations Of Europe gives to
our people as a whole opportunities
for observation and investig CATION,
which in other countries come only to
those who are able to travel abroad,
not to speak of the superiority of
knowledge derived from permanent
association over the superficial in
formation gained from brief visit to
foreign land.
We can therefore reasonably expect
the development of an American civil
ization which will be superior to any
which has preceded ia civilization
which will encourage and protect the
individual in his progress toward ply
steal and mental and moral perfection.
Our composite population can turn
upon public questions the light of uni
versal history, and, profiting by the
experiences of other nations. can
avoid the pitfalls into which they have
stumbled. AS the burned child breads

in time of war they haye ever shown

left the land of their birth to cast in

School Meeting.

Last Monday evening, pursuant to
call by the Board of Education, the
citizens of Willmar met for the pur-
pose of reconsidering the action taken
at meeting held two weeks ago.
That there was widespread interest
in the meeting was manifested by the
large attendance and the close atten-
ton paid to the discussions. In the
absence of the president Of the board
the meeting was called to order by the
clerk. In the selection of chairman
the following were nominated and re-
fused: L. O.: Thorpe, A. O. Nasset,
I. T. Cramer and F. G. Handy.
Mr.. Crosby stated that as Mr..
Thorpe was member of the Board he
ought to serve, but Mr.. Thorpe
thought that as there were some that
had been members for ID years and
he had only been 13 days he saw no
reason why he should serve.
Sam Porter was finally elected chair
man.
After reading of the call the meeting
proceeded to find out why it was
there. DR.. Johnson wanted to know
if the board had any defnite plan to
propose in regard to modifying the
action of the former meeting. Both
Mrs. Rice and Mr.. Thorpe stated that
as body they had decided on nothing
definite but thought it best to leave it
to this meeting, and had called the
meeting at the request of five petition
ers.
Mr.. Wharton stated that he thought
that those five petitioners should ex-
plain why they wanted the meeting
called, otherwise a motion to adjourn
would be in order.
Mrs. Rice then stated that the board
was unanimous in believing that to
carry out the instructions of the
former meeting would be ruinous to
the schools, and that the board fav-
ored the 1st ward school and the High
school, but as the people had express
sed themselves so strongly in favor of
ward schools at the last meeting they
did not feel justified in making re-
Communications in opposition, hence
they would leave it to the people after
they had given it due consideration.
A. E. Rice stated that all this talk
about adjourning when we had come
together displayed poor sense. He
thought that it might be profitable to
discuss the situation. He had it from
reliable sources that six room school
house built of brick as per instruc-
tions would cost $4,000. He then in
troduced the following resolution:
"Resolved, That the board of educa-
tion be and is hereby authorized and
directed to purchase necessary site,
and cause to be erected a primary
school house in End ward and school
house in 3rd ward to accommodate
pupils for a 2 years. course, and a
school house in 1st ward of sufficient
size to accommodate pupils for a five
years course and the balance of the
$4,000 is to be used to erect build
ing on the present High school
ground.''
A motion was Immediately made to
lay Mr.. Rice's motion on the table.
Mr.. Rice spoke in defense of the reso-
luton and was followed by DR.. John.

any number of offices, the minority had
a hard row to hoe.
Most of the meetings preliminary to
! the concerted movement which result
| ed in the overthrow of monarchy, Jan
uary II, 1898, were held at the down
| town law office of W. o. Smith, less than
400 feet from the police station. Mr..
Smith and his friends were being
watched closely all the time by the Of
ticers of Queen Liliuokalani, and the
wonder always has been that they were
not summarily treated. They were
armed and determined, but weak in
numbers.
1t is only a few months ago that Mr.
Smith left the cabinet. He had been
the attorney general from January
II, 1893. He was a regular glutton for
work. When yet mere boy, Mr.. Smith
organized what is now the Planters La
Dor & Supply company, one of the most
powerful aggregations of wealth and
enterprise and action and effectiveness
to be found anywhere. He edited the
monthly organ of the planters, and for
a time was in daily newspaper work
In the division of the civil service work
the attorney general in the islands is
legal adviser to the government, and all
its officers, is at the head of the police
department, with marshal for execu-
tive officer, and finally holds the re-
sponsible post of president of the board
of health Mr.. Smith performed all his
duties with such intelligence, thorough
ness and honesty that his resignation
was accepted with the greatest reluc-
lance by President Dole and associates,
and deeply regretted by all the citizens
of the country. Smith is a man of parts,
and has a vast storehouse of useful
knowledge. While in office he went ont
to Hong-Kong and Yokohama to study
quarantine regulations, and to New
Zealand to study land transfer and
liquor license systems.
As Mr., Smith was a stalwart in the
oyerthroY of 1898, so was he one of the
chiefs III suppressing the rebellion of
1895. His control of the police depart
ment and the remarkable degree of eff !
fciency which obtained in that bureau
gave the country well-drilled force
supplemental to the regular army. Mr.. |
Smith believed in hitting hard at the |
time of a crisis, but when once the ma |
tives in rebellion were subdued the at |
torney general was among the first to
set about for reconstruction.
Perhaps the most signal service Mr..
Smith ever performed for the islands
was late in the summer of 1895, when
the Asiatic cholera was brought to the
port of Honolulu from the orient. As
president of the board of health. Mr..
Smith handled the situation like vet
aran general. He called for the aid of
citizens of all races and classes, and was
the father of the system of inspection
and cleansing which stamped out the
disease in three weeks, with a loss of
but 80 lives.
In the first delegate from Hawaii the
public men at Washington with whom
Mr.. Smith comes in contact will find
gentleman worthy any state in the
lnion, practical, capable man, but
otal stranger TO the trimming and Job
)ing known so well to the politicians of
he mainland.

William Owen Smith, who has just
been selected 10y the government of the

tried, trusted, best-iuown and ablest
public men of the new territory, His
mission will be 10 answer questions
bearing on legislation TO be enacted for
the purpose of extending the American
system to the midpaciiic, At present
Hawaii has merely the protection of
the United States. The stars and
stripes were raised there on August II,
1895, but the old order obtains, with
President Dole and his cabinet at the
head of affairs, till the enabling act al
ready prepared becomes law.
The special ambassador to Washing
ton was born in the islands little less
than so years ago. After finishing with
the schools down there, he attended an
American university, took up the law
and was admitted to practice before the
courts of the state of California. Mr.
Smith was fora short time sheriff of one
OF the Islands, but resigned to join the
reform party, or opposition to the
crown, and for nearly 20 years was a
member of the legislature. During all
of that time he was with the minority,
but, with the cooperation of few men
like Mr.. (PresidenD Dole, succeeded in
much. In those days,
up to late in the SOS, the whole of the
of the house of mobiles

About all the political power was in the
hands of the king. He appointed his

Henry Clay's Mother as the Head
of a Kentucky Inn.
Her Going To the blue Grass state
from virginia II Factor In HIS
turS-RcEulnrIy visited by
Her distinguished SON.

Nothing, probably, is more interest
lrg 10 the student of history than TO
trace the obscure causes which nave
led ia great events. Comparatively few
peoplc now living know that the mother
of Henry Clay once kept tavern IN
Versailles. Ky, and fewer still that had
this not been the case Clay probably
would not have come to Kentucky al
all. What a change this might nave
been in American history! How inn
portant. then, was the journey that
Henry Watkins and his wife, Elizabeth
Clay Watkins, made through the will
derness 100 years ago!
The Watkins family arrived in Yer
sailles about the close of the eighteenth
century, bringing with them quite
retnue of slaves, 1t may be said here
that there is little foundation for the
popular idea that Henry Clay's boyhood
was spent in an atmosphere OF poverty
o6scurity and absolute want. The
mother of the Mill Boy of the Slashes, -
Elizabeth Hudson, was member OF a
wealthy Virginia family, and in we'd
ding Rev. John Clay, after whose death
she married Henry Watkins, she mar
ried into a family Of equal prominence
with her own. The Clays and Hudsons,
to local traditions, lived in
the rather gorgeous style of the Nir-
ginia gentry, and if Rev, John Clay was
poor, ii was no doubt due to the deyas-
tatiou wrought by the revolutionary |
war. 1t is extremely unlikely that his
poverty could have been so great as
the story books would have one believe.
Henry Clay, says the Chicago Trib-
une. did not accompany his mother and
stepfather to Kentucky, but remained
in Richmond, as deputy in the clerks
office, and engaged in prosecuting his
legal studies. The Watkinses shortly
