Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1900-04-11


the business enterprises in Willmar
this season. Johnson & Pinney have
opened a lumber business near their
elevator, and we understand that
Mr.. Abrahamson from Little Falls
will establish a lumber yard here.
The latter gentleman, we understand,
is an extensive timber owner and has
saw mill interests near Little Falls.
The Buford Company gave an ex-
cellent presentation Of "Faust' last
Wednesday evening. The cast was
strong one. The special scenery and
mechanical effects we're fine, and the
large audience thoroughly enjoyed it.
The opera house management is to be
congratulated on being able to secure
such frst-class companies.
An attempt was made last Wednes-
day night to break open the safe in the
Office of the Willmar mill. Tools had
been taken for the purpose from the
Willmar Gasoline Engine Works.
The Job showed that it was not the
work Of experts and the safe was left
in such a condition that it was neces-
sary to send for outside help to open
it.
There is new time card out chang
ing the passenger runs all around.
The St. Cloud will run from Milaca
to Browns Valley, and No. II and II
will run from St. Paul to Sioux City.
This will not be to the benefit of Will
mar. as it will be out of the way for
any passenger men to live here. They
will be compelled to live in St. Paul,
Sioux City, Browns Valley or M:laca.

The groom was former employe in
the Metropolitan Barber Shop here
and congratulations are in order from
his Willmar friends.
Peter Paulson, a former Willmar
boy, called on old acquaintances here
over Sunday. The young man has
changed so in appearance that his
friends scarcely recognized him, but
found him to be the same jolly Peter
as Of old. Since leaving here some
years ago he has seen much Of the
country, and during the Spanish
American war served in the regular
army. He was confined for some time
in a hospital in Cuba. Peter has
taken a position as salesman in a
Sleepy Eye store, for which place he
left on Monday.
The Presbyterian ladies realized
over $25 at their Easter supper and
social, on Friday evening last, which
will be used for missions. The pretty
display of Easter eggs and hand
painted Easter favors showed that the
ladies had worked hard to make it a
success. A short program was given
the latter part of the evening, but ow-
ing to a misunderstanding only small
audience remained to enjoy it. A read
ing was given by Mrs. Geo. Thomas,
an address on Easter by Mr.. Thos.
Scotton, song by a male trio, and a
vocal solo by Miss Florence r.
Porter.
F. w. Ferguson and family are en-.
