THEY ARE IN EARNEST.
South Grafton Residents
Tell Selectmen Just
What They Want.

Grafton, April 1.-THE remarks made
by Rev. David B. Howie and the others
who appeared before the board of Sc
Iectmen last evening, for the purpose
of securing but one license for the
south part of the town for the year
following May l, made a deep impress
sion on the members of the board and
so wildly set the situation before them
that each of the remonstrants present
felt sure that the board cannot con-
scientiously repeat its act of the past
two years.
The remarks Of Mr.. HOWE were in
part as follows:
4 am sorry to have to come before
this board as a member Of this COM
mittee of remonstrants, and wish there
was no real necessity for coming on an
errand of this kind. AS citizens, we
feel it our duty to appear in a matter
of so great public interest.
The town has voted license, and we
submit to the inevitable. but appear
before you not simply as temperance
people, but as citizens with the most
vital interests Of our fellowmen at
stake. In general, we submit to your
judgment, but it is our duty to protest
against such unjust discrimination in
the distribution Of liquor licenses.
We have been assured that we have
at present the best board of selectmen
the town has seen for many years,
which must be gratifying to the board
but we await their actions to prove the
statement. A little more than one
third OF the voters Of the town voted

Holden High School viii Profit BY
Other School Successes.

Holden, April 11.-At meeting Of
the class of 80, Holden high school, last
night, it was decided that the play to
be given by the class should be Mr.
Bob" This play has been presented by
Grafton and one or two other high
schools in Worcester county, and has
always been very favorably received.
When it was given by Grafton high
school SIS was cleared, and for this and
other reasons it was chosen. 1t is
expected that the play will be given
some time in the latter part Of May.

for license, and if the honorable board
feels inclined to decline to grant any
licenses, it viii have many friends who
will consider its members to be wise
men.
The placing of three licenses in the
south villages is as much as saying that
that section is the slums' of Grafton,
and the body of citizens whom l have
the honor to represent hope the board
will look at the matter in this light. We
do not wish to push saloons on to the
other parts Of the town, but if the
centre and north parts are listened to
in their request for but one license,
has not the south part the same right
to expect favorable decision at the
hands Of the town fathers?"
Rev. Mr.. HOWE also referred during
his remarks to the power of the board
to reduce the number of licensed shops
if they desire to do so. and in this con-
nectiOn suggested that if the town
treasury would suffer from the change
the fee for license should be increased.
At a recent meeting of the board. it
was decided that no applicant should
be granted a first class license unless
he also took a fourth class permit. The
people of the, south and other parts of
the town are especially opposed to this,
as it is under the fourth class license
that the worst effects of the rum trade
are seen.
The board will take no action on the
petition until the latter part of the
month.

The reason for considerable of the

NEW REAL ESTATE COMPANY.
Preliminary Organization Of What is to
be Known as the Winmar Land
and improvement Company.

North of the railroad track, on the
south shore of Foot Lake is located a.
tract of land, plat of which can be
seen elsewhere in this issue. The land
is the property of A. II. Sperry.
Some time ago Mr.. Sperry commenced
a canvass among his friends to organ
lze company that would purchase
the property, improve it and place
the same on the market. He has now
succeeded in disposing of the required
number of shares, and last Saturday
night a preliminary organization
meeting was held and the name of
Willmar Land & Improvement Co.
was adopted for the organization, and
a sketch of what was wanted in the
articles of Incorporation was made
up and given to an attorney to pre-
pare. A meeting will be held to night
to adopt the articles, which will be
published later. The first board of
directors will consist of A. H. Sperry,
G. P. Karwand, E. F. Fink, John T.
Otos and J. II. Martin. The piece of
land that the corporation will own
will be one of the incest for residence
building purposes in Willmar. It is
high and dry, on the shore of Foot
Lake, away from the business part of
the town, where you can build home
and dwell in peace. The property will
in time no doubt be valuable, especi.
ally if the contemplated improvements
of the Great Northern Railway Co.
will materialize, as there would then
be a special demand from the railroad
people for homes in that neighbour
hood. The overhead bridge prom
ised by the Great Northern will also
add to the value of the property.

FOR MILITARY OPERATIONS,
Officers in Experiments
with Automobile,

Automobiles are likely to play an i'm
portant part in military operations and
the experiments with them at home and
abroad are being observed with keen
interest by army officials. The practi-
cal value of these vehicles has been
demonstrated in the larger cities, espe-
cially in New York, where they have
come into general service, not only for
the transportation of passengers but
in the delivery of parcels and heavier
freights.
Gen. Miles has taken a keen interest
in the subject, and it would not be sur
prising if he makes some reference in
his annual report to the use of the au-
tomobile in military operations. The
reports of our military attaches who at
tended the army maneuvers in Europe
this summer show that the automobile
played an important part in the trans
portation of supplies; and that it was
used with effect in the German exer-
cises in the delivery of reserve ammu-
milton. The United States signal corps
recently purchased three of these auto
mobiles, which have been received at
Fort Myer station. They will be used
in the work of the signal corps in the
transportation of quartermaster's or
ordnance material. The proposition
that the automobile be used more exten-
sively finds favor with many army otii-
GERS in Washington. 1t is likely there
will be an inquiry into the subject, pos
sibly through the medium of board of
officers that will examine and report
upon the various types of automobiles.

INSUFFICIENT AMMUNITION.
Coast Defense Work Not
En0ugh Practice.

Artillery officers on coast defense
work complain to the war department
that the fund for ammunition for ex-
perirnental and practice purposes is
insufficient. 1t does not admit of the
thorough instruction of men who ham
die the guns, with the result that
reports from the coast Notifications
present the rather serious aspect of an
enlisted artillery force possessed of an
inferior knowledge of the big weapons
and an inexpertness in firing them.
In the navy much time and money is
expended annually in training the gun
crews in accuracy of fire. Records are
kept on each ship of the gun practice
which is carried on under the condi-
tions of actual conflict. The result has
been the stimulation of interest in such
matters and the education of thesenlist-
ed men to splendid craftsmanship.
In the army, according to reports re-
ceived at the war department, there is
little opportunity to train the men in
the handling of the coast guns under ac-
tual service conditions. More than one
appeal has come to Washington for an
increase in the allotment, now pitifully
small. Congress will be urged to make
a more liberal provision for this neces-
sary equipment Of the coast artillerists.

NEGROES KILL APACHES.
Troops at San Carlos Disguise Th EN-.
selves a. Indians and Attack Camp
,-FOur Redskins Slain.

Pima, A. T., Oct. 16.-Colored soldiers
of company c, Twenty-fifth United
States infantry, now stationed at San
Carlos reservation, disguised them
selves as Indians Friday night, and,
slipping upon band of. Apache<
camped near the post, attacked them
with clubs and bayonets, precipitating
a pitched battle. The Indians thus sud-
denly aroused made brave resistance,
but were literally beaten down with
clubs until many were seriously in
jured, and later dispatches say four are
dead from theirwounds. The survivors
fed to the mountains.
An alarm was sounded at the post:
but the majority of the soldiers escaped
back without detection. Strenuous ef-
forts are being made by the authorities
to find the assailants. The garrison is
under arms. The attack was caused by
the increasingintimacy of negroes with
Apache women, with whom they have
become infatuated, attempting to ab'
duct two. The Indians attempted to re-
taliate by mutilating negro soldier in
peculiarly atrocious Indian fashion
and the attack followed. The situation
is grave, as the Indians are aroused tc
frenzy and are gathering. A general
uprising is threatened and the agents
fear trouble.

RELIC IS PARTLY RUINED.
Nine Columns Of the Temple of Ell
Karnak, Celebrated Relic of
Ancient Egypt, Fall.

News has just reached Cairo of the re-
cent fall of nine columns of the great
hall of the temple of El-Kar-
max, built by Zetee l., dynasty 10, one
of the most magnificent and celebrated
relics of the architecture of ancient
Egypt. The great hall of El-Karnak,
which is the most notable of the monu-
ments of Thebes of it's class, is 40 feet
long and 329 feet wide. The stone roof,
now partially in ruins, was originally
supported by 1874 columns, the loftiest
of which were nearly 70 feet high and
about IL feet in diameter. 1t was built
by Zetee I. and sculptured partly in
his reign. Work upon it was continued
by his son and successor, Rameses II.
The hall commentaries, not in its
grandeur alone, but also by it's sculp-
lures, the magnificence and power of
these two pharaohs. The sculptures of
the interior walls represent these mon
archs making offerings to the gods.
