Willmar, March 10.
School is in full blast in Dist. Is.
Enrolment go. Seven families are
represented-a nice little crowd from
each.
Carl Hookom has already procured
six flags for the school by subscrip-
tion, and Matthias Kalleyig a ther-
mometer.
The schoolhouse has been moved up
from the woods to the northwest cor
ner of Sec. 2 by Sondreson Bros. who
have also built an addition to the
house and put in a new floor. The
house is both comfortable and airy.
Say, did you know there was such a
township as Willmar? And did it
occur to you that we have such repre-
sentative farmers as Tallman and
Thorpe.

death was up and around the house.
In the evening she began to grow worse
and III a short time expired, the imme-
dlate cause OF her death being attl ibut-
cd to blood clot forming III one of the
passages OF the heart. The particular
lily sad feature is the fact that five little
children are left motherless by her being
taken away thus early i'll life. She was

being only thirty years, six months and
three days OF age. The funeral was
