The Dedicatory Concert.

The dedicatory concert given at the
Seminary Feb, 22nd by the Metropoli-
tan Quartette, assisted by John Par
sons Beach, was decided success in
spite of the miserable weather. The
large hall was filed with an ap-
preciative and attentive audience. In
the absence of Rev. Solum, of Rem
vile, who should have delivered the
dedicatory speech, Mr.. HORT was cal
led on to officiate, and did so shortly,
stating that he preferred to let the in
strument, the piano, speak for ITSELF
The program was then proceeded witt,
and we believe we voice the sentiment
of the audience when we say that it
was good. The quartette rendered
some comic songs which seemed to hit
the popular chord. The performance
of Mr.. Beach on the piano was fine
and was we'll received.

The accident was no fault of the oc-

Grief-StriCken,

In the early part of last week Will
mar was shocked to hear of the sud-
den death of Mrs. Harold Swenson, of
New London. Mrs. Swenson was in
the prime of life and therefore her sud-
den departure makes it all the more
painful to the loved ones left behind,
and to them their many friends in this
community extend their heartfelt SYM
pathy. The TRIBUNE had expected to
receive particulars in time for last
weeks issue but were disappointed and
quote the following from the New Lon
don Times:
No attempt of ours could in small
degree picture the gloom, the grief
and the mingled feelings of sorrow
and sympathy which entered the hearts
of the community last Monday, when
at noontide the quite unexpected death
OF Mrs. II. SWensOn was reported from
tongue to tongue. And it also would
be futile for us to try in words to offer
any consolation which would in a
measure ease the pain or fill that in
expressib'e void in the aching hearts
of the family when they were so sud
denly bereaved of dear and kind
wife and mother.
Mrs. Ella NJ. Swenson, was born
near New London, Wis, on the 22nd
day of Oct. 1855. When she was two
years OF age her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Marcus Danielson, moved to
Minnesota, first settling near Green
Lake and then on their present home
stead in Colfax. Here they remained
until the Indian outbreak, when they
fled to Paynesville and thence to St.
Anthony; and in 1866 they return ed
again to their present home.
When a young girl Mrs. Swenson
attended school at New London and
afterwards she attended the St. Cloud
Normal, and has taught school in this
county for a number of years. On the
last day OF the year of 1878 she was
welded to Harold Swenson, being one
of the contracting parties of triple
marriage which took place at Nest
Lake. During the years that her hus-
band held the Office of county auditor
she had her home at Willmar, else she
has lived at New London ever since.
Here she has won the respect and ad-
miration of all who knew her, as a
woman of the home.
She had undergone an attack of the
grip and therefore when she caught in
addition thereto severe cold about a
week before her death, acute pneu-
monia set in SO strongly that medical
skill was unable to save her, and she
died Monday, Feb. 20, 1899, as stated
above. Her daughter Rhoda came
home from St. Paul but two hours be-
fore she died but still in time to take
a last farewell.
She leaves a husband; three chill
dren, daughters Rhoda, Sabra and
Stella; father and mother; and a
brother, Peter Danielson of Colfax,
who is now very low.
The funeral occurred at the Presby-
terrain church yesterday at 2 p. m.
Rev. Johnson of Willmar preaching
the funeral sermon. n large number
of people assembled to give their last
respects to the deceased, and the floral
gifts were many and beautiful. The
remains were laid at rest in the Oak
Hill cemetery.

To the Public.

We wish to announce to the public
in general and to our old Gus
toners in particular that on and
after March LIST, 1899, we will conduct
our business on strictly cash basis.
We have had our share of expert
ence with the credit system. The cred
it system is out of date. The success
full business of the future will be con-
Quoted on the spot cash system.
BY this change we will be enabled to
make lower prices because we will
eliminate the expenses incident to the
credit system, bookkeeping, interest
on outstanding accounts, loss of bad
accounts, time and expense of collect
ing, etc. These expenses are all add
ed to the cost of the goods under the
credit system and the customers who
buy from merchant doing business
under this system pay them.
Instead of investing our money in
slow paying accounts and in accounts

vest it in stock that we may give our
patrons better and prompter service.
We anticipate that this change will
lose us some trade but while we may
not make so much we will not be kept
awake nights by the fear of losing
what we have made.
We extend our thanks for the pa
tronage of the past, both to those who
have paid and to those who have not
the former have enabled US to live
and the latter have taught US to turn
over new leaf.

Small Blaze on Front Street, Frid; v.

The building on Front street owned
by Frank l.. Thayer and occupied by
Frank Nigue was damaged by fire.
Friday morning. to the extent of about
5000. The fire started shortly after 8
O'Clock in the morning, and is thought
to have caught from a match. A
young child of Mr. Vigue had gone
into one of the chambers in the ell of
of the house to curl her hair before
she went down stairs and in few
moments smoke was detected. On go
ing to the upper part of the house it
was found that the room was filled
with smoke.
An alarm was pulled in from box IS
and when the department arrived
there was so much smoke in the house
that the iireren had difficulty in work
ing. The flames had spread from the
vicinity of the lamp to the floor be-
meath. and being confined under the
flooring were extremely difficult to get
at.
1t was found necessary to deluge
part of the ell before the fire could be
got under control. The damage by fire
was very slight. but on account of the
large amount of water put on to pre-
vent the fire from spreading to the
other parts of the house. the damage
done was considerable. But for the
quick ana efficient work of the depart
ment, there is but slight question that

GROWS MORE CRITICAL.
London Press, This Morning, Regards
Situation As Very Serious.

London, Sept. l6.-In the forecasts of
President Kruger's reply there is UNI
doubleday d large basis of truth. which
seems to bring the dispute within
measurable distance of war.
Last evening. The Press Association
issued a curious statement TO the effect
that as soon as the garrison in Natal
had been sufficiently strengthened. the
Transvaal government would be called
upon to'complete new convention al
ready drafted which, while guarantee
ing the integrity of the Transvaai state,
provides for the demolition of the forts
and limits the armed forces Of the
Transvaal to the number deemed sutfi-
cient to maintain international order.
According to The Press Association
the convention will demand that the
diplomatic agencies be suppressed and
the Judiciary be made independent Of
the executive.
This statement, which realized the
extreme demands of the Outlanders.
must be accepted under reserve at the
present stage. but ii is not unlikely to
be a semi official hint as to the next
move of the government should PreSi-
dent Kruger prove obdurate.
The morning paper editorials regard
the crisis as having reached its most
acute phase.
The Daily News says: We refuse to
believe that President Kruger is so
foolish as to reject Mr.. Chamberlain S
moderate demands.
The Daily Chronicle which appeals
again to Mr.. Kruger ito accept while it
is yet time and before England's terms
become harder" says: "A refusal of the
present terms will involve the ruin of
the state over which President Kruger
presides. The British government nave
placed their first and second moves in
the game and must perforce play the
third and then the forth. II Mr.. kru-
ger haggles. the sinister conditions in
south Africa will grow worse, until Il
catastrophe is reached
Other papers talk Of the imminence
of war. and all the dispatches from
South Africa continue 10 describe the
military preparations on both sides.

New Chapter for Co5urn.

Unles there is a hitch in the arrange
lnents, it will be but a very short time
before the Phi Kappa Alpha Society at
the Coburn Classical Institute will be
thlng OF the past. as the members
are to go into the Alpha Phi Society
The former society is only local insti-
tuition and does not exist anywhere ex-
cept in this city among the institute
students. II has been in existence a
long time, however, and is one Of the
most prominent factors in the school
life.
The Alpha Phi Society is a. national
fitting school society, and for some time
there has been a movement to have a
chapter instituted in this city. The
charter for a chapter here has been
granted by the national institution, al
though it has not arrived in this city.
The new chapter will take in all the
members of the old society, which. last
year, numbered something like rs.
So far six members have been taken in
this year to supply the place Of those
lost by graduation. The change has
ben brought about partly through the
efforts of Principal Johnson, who has
been at work on the plan for some
time
