Song Recital.

One Of the best entertainments in the
musical line ever given before Will
mar audience was that which was
given in Seminary Hall last Wednes-
day evening. Prof. J. L, Hort, the
soloist of the evening, was greeted
with hearty applause at every appear
ance. He possesses tenor voice of
such sweetness that one never tires of
listening to him, and every number
rendered by him was encored. Mr..
Hort has an able assistant in Mr..
Eugene o. Skaaden, who officiated
very acceptably on the piano. AS
sisting on the program were the Sem
mary Mandolin Club and Misses Ma
rie Railson, Sena Thompson, Martha
Moss and Ella Mossberg, who fur
nished trio and qu.artette selections.
These additional numbers were we'll
received.
Prof. Hjort is touring under the
management of the Lutheran Ladies'
Seminary of Red Wing, and is meet
ing with marked success in his con-
certs. The Willmar, Seminary is
again to be congratulated in securing
such high class entertainments in it's
course for the piano fund. Such en-
tertainments as these should always
draw crowded house.

The Dangers Of Borrowing.

An exchange tells this awful series
OF events which befell family that
persisted in borrowing newspapers:
"a man who was too economical to
take this paper sent his little boy to
borrow the copy taken by his nei gh-
Dor. In his haste the boy ran over q
81 stand of bees, and in ten minutes
looked like a warty summer squash.
His father, who ran to his assistance,
and failing to notice barbed wire
fence, ran into that, breaking it down..
cutting a handful of flesh from his
anatomy and running a 81 pair of
pants. The old COW took advantage
OF the gap in the fence and got into the
corn field and killed herself eating
green corn. Hearing the racket, the
wife ran, upset four gallon churn
full of rich cream into a basket of kit
tens, drowning the whole flock. In
the hurry she dropped 81 set of false
teeth. The baby, left alone, crawIed
through the SKINNED milk and into
the parlor, running a brand new $40
carpet. During the excitement the
Oldest daughter ran away with the
hired man, the dog broke up II setting
hens and the calves got out and chewed
the tails of four fine shirts.' -.

Then put a chain and paddock on
him and hold him inr' growled the
surgeon: He prescribed a medicine
and went away, assuring Mrs. Strong
that Philip would feel much better in
the morning.
The surgeons prediction came true.
Philip found himself weak the next
day, but able to get about. In reply
to numerous calls Of inquiry for the
minister Mrs. Strong was able to re-
port that he was much better. About
II o'clock, when the postman called,
Philip was in his study lying on his
lounge.
His wife brought up two letters. One
of them was from his old chum. He
read that first. He then laid it down
and opened the other.
At that moment Mrs. Strong was
called down stairs by a ring at the
door. When she had answered it. she
came up stairs again.
AS she came into the room she was
surprised at the queer look on Philips
face. Without word he handed her
the letter he had just opened and with
the same look watched her face as she
read It.

CHAPTER XVII,

The letter which Philip had received
and which his wife now read was as
follows:
Rev. Philip Strong, Pastor Calvary Church, Nil.
ton:
Dear Sir and Brother-The seminary at Fairview
has long been contemplating the addition to its
professorship of chair OF sociology. The lack Of
funds and the absolute necess,v Of sufficient
dowment for such chair hav made it impossi
BILE hitherto for the trustees to make any definite
move in this direction. recent legacy, Of which
you have doubtless heard, has made the founding
of this new professorship possible. And now the
trustees by unanimous vote have united upon you
as the man best fitted to fill this chair Of socioo-
gy. We have heard Of your work in Milton and
know Of it personally. We assured you arc
the for this place. We therefore tender you
most heartily the position Of professor of sociolo
gy at Fairview seminary at salary OF $1,000
year and preliminary years absence, either
abroad in this country, before you begin actual
labors with the seminary.
With this formal call on the part of the trustees
goes the most earnest desire the part Of all the
professors Of the seminary who remember you in
your marked undergraduate success student
here. You will meet with the most loving well
come, and the seminary will be greatly. strength
ened by your presence in this new department.
We are, in behalf OF the seminary, very cordially
yours, THE TRUSTEES.
Here followed their names, familiar
to both Philip and his wife.
There was 4 moment Of astonished
silence, and then Sarah said:
"Well, Philip, that's what call the
finger Of Providence"
do you call it the finger Of Provi-
dence because 1t points the way you
want to go?" asked Philip, with a
smile. But his face instantly grew So
Der. He was evidently very much cx-
cited by the call to Fairview. 1t had
come at a time when he was in a con-
dition to be very much moved by it.

WiIImar's Ball Players.

Considerable interest is manifested
in the national game by our enthusi-
asts, and this season is receiving its
share of attention among our local
players.
The Willmar club, although starting
out in the season with a defeat by the
Montevideo boys, has redeemed itself
by the handsome score of 13 to 1. The
boys proved themselves champions in
the game with Montevideo Wednesday
afternoon last on the home grounds.
A strong determination to win the
game, with hard batting and good
fielding, shut out their opponents al
most completely.
The next day our boys went to Litch-
field and defeated the team there by q
score OF 16 to S. The Litchield Review
gives the following account of the
game;
"Thursday afternoon the home team
lost their first game OF the season. the
opposing team being boys from
Willmar.
"The day was an ideal one-that is,
it was. hot, enough-and the grand
stand was filled to overflowing.
"For the first FIVE innings there was
plenty of snap and ginger in the game,
and at their close the score stood to
in favor of W1llmar. In the sixth
Litchfeld began her comedy of errors
and allowed the visitors five runs, In
the seventh they allowed, them three
more, in the eighth two and in the
ninth four. The eighth netted Litch-
field one run, and in the last the boys
picked themselves up and scored three
times, but bless you, it was too late in
the game to do any good. The final
score was l6 to 5 in favor of Willmar.
"The features of the game were the
errors on the part of the home team,
the splendid Individual and team work
of the visitors and the home run of
Markhus in the first inning. Henry

Rules for consumptives.

The city of Boston has become
aroused over the great increase in the
number of cases of consumption, and
is adopting vigorous methods for pre-
venting, if possible, a further spread.
In discussing these methods DR.. Dur
gin, of the Board of Health, said:
"Boston is one of the worst places
on earth for consumption. The Board
of Health has decided that every pre-
caution must be taken to prevent It's
spread. Consumption used to be con-
sidered an hereditary disease. Medical
science, however, has proved that it is
a purely contagious disease, and one
of the worst there is.
"The consumptive expectorates. His
sputum is loaded with germs, hence
the great danger. The circular we are
publishing contains the following
directions:
" The patient should spit only in
cups or cloths specially prepared for
the purpose and disinfected with car
bolic acid.
"'Consumptiyes should not kiss.
emo consumptive should sleep in
the same room with anyone else.
j" Clothing, knives, forks, spoons,
plates, cups, ETC., used by patients
should be thoroughly disinfected after
each meal.
"'Articles of food, especially milk,
should not be used by the family after
standing for any length OF time in the
room used by the patient. 49,. -
"'Male consumptives should not
wear boards or mustaches.' "

Jefferson Salt Mine.

Joseph jefferson, the actor, owns
a little island near Bob Acr res
Station, La, that is a veritable salt
mine. He bought the property q few
years ago for a winter residence, and
it was entirely by accident that he
discovered recently the fact that the
piece of real estate in question is
situated directly owe an immense
mass of solid sait-the largest block
of salt known to exist anywhere in
the world. It is of the utmost purity,
too, being wholly composed OF the
finest quality Of table salt, without
the slightest admixture Of ANY other
mineral, and its quality is such that
one may take a block of it and read a
newspaper through it, just as though
it was so much glass.
Apparently the whole island, which
is about three hundred acres in ex-
tent, is underlaid by one great body
of salt, which is struck at a depth OF
3 hundred feet or SO. Mr.. jefferson
came across it while boring hope
fully for mineral waters, and since
then it has been penetrated through
a distance of 2, 100 feet, or more than
a quarter of a mile directly downward
without reaching the bottom. This
was accomplished by means of a drill
which made it possible to study the
material through its successive strata
with the utmost accuracy. But
the.e was no variation with the depth
in the quality of the stuff, which
throughout was pure crystalline table
salt.-The Assumption Pioneer,

They used August Flower to clean out

The Hunter Canal Railroad.

Vermilion may have another rail-
road, The Iberian says it vas much
gratifed in learning from Albert
Landry on last Saturday that Over
ION Cade had visited his section the
day before in the interest of the
projected railroad from New Iberia
to The Hunter Canal region.
This road has been projected to
traverse parts OF Iberia, Vermilion
and Lafayette parishes with terminal
facilities on the Teche. 1t will cross
a rich agricultural section that is to-
day without rail facilities and which
section must depend on long wagon
hauls over bad roads in wet seasons.
The statement is further made
that the work on this road will begin
during the present month.
The right-of-way of the Segura
Sugar Co.'S railroad, leading west,
ward from the factory would make q
most excellent route for the new road

Whose Money Were They AfterP

Tom w. Slutz, well known around
Abbeyille, having some two years
ago engaged in raising rice at Cypress
point has stepped all over himself and
is now in jail in Crowley on a charge
of plotting to rob some n in Yer
million parish. Some time this spring
Slutz had a foot run over and mangl
ed by q Southern Pacific train in
Texas, and it was charged that Slutz
had deliberately thrust his foot under
the wheels OF a moving train in order
to cripple himself and get accident
insurance of which he carried a large
amout. No one knows who was the
intended victim. The Picayune
gives the following report OF the
affair:
Sheriff Joe L. Murrell ~unearthed q
bold and daring conspiracy on the
part of Thos. w. SLUT and others to
rob aud burglarize an old farmer re-
siding side this of Abbeville, about five
miles. Slutz had apparently induced
Frank Abbott to go into the scheme,
but Abbott notified Sheriff Murrell
what was up. At the appointed time,
which was last Friday, Slutz, in CON-
pany with W. j. Kuykendall, G.
and Abbot, left Abbot's house, three
miles east of Crowley, for the scene
of the robbery, which was about
twenty-five miles distance. The party
was well equipped with r n and am
munition to make a desperate raid
and take life, if necessary, to accom-
plish their object. After going foul
or five miles the gang were intercept
ed by the sheriff and bis deputies and
brought to Crowley and lodged in ths
parish Jail, charged with the crime 0
conspiring to rob and burglarize.
Slusz never. disclosed to his pals tn
name of the farmer who was intended
to be robbed, and consequently it j
not known at present.
