The TRIBUNE this week publishes
the delinquent tax list of the county
in supplement form. Is your name
there?
It is rumored that there will be a
change after the 10Th in the time of the
st. Cloud accommodation train. The
proposed change is for the passenger
to arrive here at 40 p. m. and leave
some time in the morning.
Our readers want to be sure and
read the large advertisement of V. E
Segerstrom on the supplement in this
issue. He has some advantages to Of
fer in the musical line and like a good
business man he places his light where
it can be seen. By all means read it.
Private Burns, of the 18th regiment,
who was killed in one of the recent
battles in the Philippines, was a
former St. Cloud man. Roy Sperry
informs US that he was a roommate
Of his while he attended the Normal
school there. and held position as
miller in the st. Cloud mills.
Nels Mailing was brought before
justice Olson last Monday on a charge
Of indecent and abusive language pre-
terred by A. j. Ekander, and was
fined S3 and costs. The trouble be-
tween the worthy gentlemen is report
ed to have started while quaffing the
fiery liquid in one of Willmar's rum
shops.
Martin Gllbertson of Co. D. ar
rived home Monday, having received
his discharge from the 18th on account
of defective hearing. Martin says he
is glad to get back to Willmar again,
and thinks being plain citizen is far
preferable to be ,ng volunteer sold
ier. He is certainly not -enthusi-
astic in relating the lot of a volunteer
as compared with that of a regular.
Hon. A. F.. Rice informs US that his
son, Lieutenant G. A. Rice, of Co. D,
is recovering nicely from his recent
illness. He is able to be out, although
not strong enough yet to attend to ac-
tive duties. He has been detailed as
a member of the general court martial
which takes action on the late trouble
in the Fifteenth.
Nine carloads of sheep passed
through here last Tuesday from the
West, bound for Chicago. They were
shipped in open stock cars, and about
one-third were frozen when they arriv-
ed here. Such inhumane treatment of
animals should never be tolerated in
a civilized community, and how any
one can allow stock to be shipped in
open cars in such cold weather is be-
yond our comprehension.
The annual ball given by the rail-
way firemen last Thursday night was
largely attended, despite the cold
weather. The boys had worked hard
to make it success and were we'll
paid for their efforts. The decora-
tions and music both received their
share of praise. The ladies of the
Episcopal church sustained their repu-
tation for furnishing good suppers for
such occasions.
The temperance rally given under
the auspices of the Anti-Saloon
League at the rink last night was a
great success, at least numerically,
standing room being at a premium al
most.s One of the leading speakers,
Prof. Hilleboe, could not be present
on account of sickness in the. famil.
but judging from the applause accord
ed the different speakers what was
said evidently agreed with the senti-
meuts of the audience, and if SO, it
bodies no good for the saloon in Will
mar.
It is with a deep feeling of regret
that we chronicle the unfortunate cir
cumstance which has befaIlen the Fif-
teenth regiment. The boys of our own
Company D. we are sorry to see i'm.
plicated in the late trouble We learn
that Corporal Hardy and a corporal
OF Company F have already received
their sentence. The good record of
the regiment in the past we hope will
be of service in tightening the sem
tences of the boys, who by their hasty
conduct have brought this disgrace
upon themselves.
Last Sunday evening while the good
people of Willmar were gathered in
the different houses of worship they
were disturbed by the ominous sound
of the fire bell and the power house
whistle. The cause was a fire in the
3rd ward at the home of Sam Mattel
