"Said contract to go 10 the next 10
the lowest bidder" is the way that q
local building contractor would nave
the closing sentence read IN aovert'se
r,ents for bids on any particular 1oo.
while sneaking of the matter recently
+his same contractor said that II the
trnth were known nine out OF ten OF
the lowest bids made are mace tnroueu
mistake in tie calculations OF Tue
bidder. n,
IF the contractor who gets the 3oD
was aware that his bid is ottentlmes
81 600 below that Of the one next ABOVE
him, and this on comparatively sman
Job, he would Immediately Institute
search and find where he had mace
the mistake, thus having an opportu-
nifty of failing to qualify to complete
the lob. This privilege is often denied
the bidder, however, and he gets well
along with his work before the fact
dawns upon him that he is on losing
venture. 1t is then too late to go back
on the job, and the result Is that the
party who Is doing the building and
the contractors also are losers. and this
because of the natural inclination OF
the contractor to shirk in order not to
! lose any more than he Is absolutely
obliged to in order to get out on the
| bad deal.
"These mistakes are not only disas-
trous to the parties Immediately con-
| cerned, but to the trade in general, as
by the error Of the unlucky bidder an
other worthy contractor Is unable to
get the work at reasonable figures.
Give the work to the next to the low
est bidder, believe to be good gen
| eral rule."-Omaha World-Herald.

Bidding for Books.

A good deal of amusement was
created here last week through the
operations of a book agent who had
something new under the. sun in the
way of a scheme to sell books. About
three weeks ago q we'll grOOmed III
dividual appeared in the city armed
with prospectus and list of names
of business men who were thought to
be likely to take an interest in literary
matters. He was selling, according
to his we'll learned story, a lately is
sued ten-volume compilation of the
literature of all nations, by Julian
Hawthorne and John Russell Young.
The price of this work in silk buckram
cloth was $45.00, but the Interstate
Press Co.. which had the sale of the
edition, had adopted new plan to in
troduce the work. A list of names in
each town would be selected, and these
parties seen and given an opportunity
TO bid on the work. From the bids so
submitted certain number, say one
half, would be accepted and the books
furnished. The amount of the bid was
immaterial to the agent, as he worked
on salary and merely collected the bids
and sent them in to the company. This
" sAo q NC" oSAOlAC3 tbuO ~ ulOu y 10-
quire much effort to fllsin a blank and
hand it over to the gentlemanly agent.
This was done by number of lawyers,
ministers and business men. On Mon
day last the last act in the drama took
place, when a second agent appeared
on the scene and made the deliveries.
It develops that apparently all the
bids were accepted, and that the sums
offered varied greatly. One mans
bid was $25, another SIS, still another
$8, another 81 and there was one ol
So. All were accepted and now there
is great fun when the bidders compare
notes and find how much over the ]imi,
some of them paid for their sets. Those
who paid the top prices are subject tc
good deal of good natured chatting
|-Litch6eld Independent.
We understand the same game was
played in Willmar during the recen
session of the teachers training school
and several bidders are now saddel
but wiser men and women. There ar!
all manner of fakes these days, and i
behooves one to be constantly on hi
guard.

A. H. Sperry received photograph
this week of his son Charlie, who is
on the United States Battleship Con-
stellation, at Newport, r. I. The
young man is looking we'll, and al
though dressed in his naval uniform
he is easily recognized by the same
familiar features as when boy here.
E. M. Roberts, who is now resident
of southern Minnesota, was in the

state for desirable location for him
self and family.
Granite Falls failed to show up here
last Friday for the ball games, which

attend, not saying anything about the
disappointment to the local club in a
financial way.
The railroad yards will have under

Considerable grading has been done,

will be torn down and removed and
more substantial ones erected further
east. 1t is expected that this work
will be finished inside of month.

noon, Rev. A. N. Osterholm officiat-
ing. Short services were held at the
resi- dence and the funeral sermon was
preached at the Mission church. The
sy mpathy of their many friends goes
out to the bereaved ones in the loss
of their child.
Last week the people of the village
we're treated to lawn socials on four
nights in succession, by the respective
church societies, giving them chance
to cool off during the warm weather.
Tuesday evening ice cream, cake and
coffee were served by the Mission
Friends; Wednesday evening by the
Lutheran Synod ladies for the benefit
of an orphans home; Thursday even
ing by the, Catholic society, and on
Friday evening by the ladies of the
Swedish Lutheran church.

POLITICAL WRINKLES.

The Republican Gazette in its last issue tries
attempts to stir up old war prejudices and
accuses the TRIBUNE Of fraud in the follow
ing manner: s7's@ +~.+ y.
the county the last couple of weeks and has
tried to sound the feelings of anti-Republicans
as to their presidential ticket. Farmers are
TOO to 10y b%sy TO- talk politics but enough IS beard
pill. One wel-nformed populist said that
Stevenson could not get 500 votesin Kandiyohi
county; that Bryan would suffer like the dick
ems ana Lind would lose the county. Another,
Civil War veteran, said he was one of the
men that paid the .five-year-ahead supscrip-
ton to the Willmar Tribune, with the under
and now it had on it's presidential ticket man
who was too wardly to fight the Union army
openly, but mean enough to be secret agent
OF the South in line with Vallandingham and
that crowd. He thought it was unfair on the
part OF the Tribune.
While we are content to wait until after
election before meeting the first "well-in.
formed populist'' we are very desirous OF
meeting the second. the alleged Civil Wal
veteran, at once. We will gladly refund the
five dollars if he feels that the TRIBUNE has
acted in bad faith, and further If he does not
appear to claim his money we will assume that
the Gazette editor, hiding behind the signature
Sterngucker, deliberately lies in the matter.
Members of the village council sent word by
Acting Marshal Sorenson requesting the TRIB
UNE to omit mention OF Marshal HanscOm's
dismissal. The TRIBUNE is not in the suppress
sing business when the official conduct OF 8
public officer is in question. Personally We
bear no ilwill to Mr.. Hanscom. He is nc
worse than his sponsors on the council who
have upheld him month after month, year at
ter year. He had a right to assume that what
ever he chose to do would be satisfactory tt
the council, because his salary was but very
recently increased Had he made little
squirt and collected taxes for dozen dogs ant
poll-tax from few score of voters he woult
have been able to draw his salary unmolestet
for another year. Now let the council abolish
| the salary OF the day marshal and save thu
village six hundred dollars year.

1t has pronounced opinions and Is fearless in

Matters Of national or vital public interest
get more space in TIE TRIBUNE than in any

For these reasons it is the newspaper you

TIE TRIBUNE'S financial columns never

Its facilities for gathering news, both local

It presents the news in as fair way as DOS

A PIunEe In INC park.

A remarkable accident befell an Eng.
lish cyclist. He had been a few miles
into the country to see some friends,
and was riding home along a lane about
10 O'Clock p. m, when he suddenly re-
ceived a sharp blow on the chest and
was lifted completely out OF the saddle
and thrown with considerable violence
to the ground, wh0e he lay for some
minutes partly stunned On recovering
his enses the cyclist looked around to
try to find the cause Of his extraordinary
spill.
1t did not want a lot OF finding, for
it was very apparent in the shape Of a
stout rope which was stretched across
the road. The rope. it appeared, was
fastened at one end to a gypsy wagon
standing by the side Of the hedge, and
to q horse at the other. In search of
fresh heritage the animal had strayed
across the road. and. startled, no
doubt, by the sudden appearance Of the
bicycle light, had thrown up its head,
drawing the cord taut at a height OF
five feet or SC from the ground. In the
darkness it was im~perceptible. and
catching the eyclist breast high. it flung
him FROM his machine with SCENT cour
