acted business here last week ). The
funeral of Mrs. Olof Olson occurred
here last Sunday. Deceased gave
birth to child about two weeks ago,
and was afterwards taken severely i'll.
the illness terminating fatally. She
was Is years, months, and / day old
at the time Of her death. ! She leaves
a husband, three small children, par
ents, and a large humber Of relatives
and friends to mourn her early death.
...... Mr.. and Mrs. L. Moline of Will
mar visited with their son Eric few
days last week. :. The weather last
week was warm enough for us all. -.
Kid wishes to state that he is heartily
in favor of the direct nomination plan,
as it gives the people an equal chance,
and they can thereby secure the can
didates they prefer. 1t would greatly
tend to end the bossism and despOt-
ism so common under republican rule.
It would make the people more inter-
ested in their. government and laws.
It is just the the thing for represen-
tative government: like ours, and Kid
hopes it will soon be adopted through
out the nation. .....Mrs. Thilda Eng
lund and son, who haye been visiting
at Ole Johnson's, have returned to
their home in Minneapolis 80. Miss
Lucy Moline of Willmar is at present
visiting with her sister, Mrs. P. N.
Olson. Miss Mary Hoglund has
returned to her home in Tripolis after
a lengthy stay at c. L. Epglund's....
It is our sad duty this week to report
the death of Mrs. Gustaf Williamson,
which occurred Sunday morning, July
10. She had for some time been suf-
fering from injuries received in an
accident. Later on typhoid fever set
in, and after three weeks of terrible
suffering death came as a relief.
Guslina Williamson was born in Jon
k0ping, Sweden, March %, 1854, and
was thus at her death 46 years, S
months, and q days old. In company
with sister she came to this country
in the early seventies, and was few
years later united in marriage to Gust
Williamson. After living for some
time in Minneapolis and Herman they
came to Syea in 1892 and have lived
here since. She leaves to mourn her
loss husband and eight children,
six girls and two boys, the youngest
about two years of age; two sisters, q
large number of relatives, and a. very
large circle of friends. Her death
was not only a severe afaiction to the
bereaved family, but the entire COM
munity loses a kind and excellent
neighbor who was honored and loved
by all who knew her. The funeral
took place Tuesday, Aug. q, at the
SSvea cemetery, Rev. J. o. Lundberg
officiating in the last sad rites. Thus
closes the life of a faithful Christian.
We join with the entire community in
extending our heartfelt sympathy to
the bereaved. husband and motherless
children. KID MCCHEE.

Apropos Of change In England's
attitude toward the colonies, the fol-
lowing dispatch from London is en-
tightening:
''One result OF Canada's participa-
tion In the war Is shown in many let
ters and articles in the London papers
suggesting that Great Britain lend
something more than friendly assist
ance to the dominion after the war
A writer in the Daily Mail says an
imperial federation is in sight as a
practical fact and the colonies are
all drawing nearer TO the mother
country, SO II behooves all English
men to help the movement by every
means in their power.
why should English manufacturers
ship their goods from Canadian points
by American lines to New York, and
by American railways TO oanada2 Why
should not the shipping rates be equal
by the Canadian lines to Canadian
ports and thence by Canadian rail-
ways? The sale of their goods in Can
ada can only be made possible by the
settlement of the country, and this
can only be effected by building up
the enterprise of these same Canadian
railways, which are practically boy
cotted when the English shippers use
the American steamship lines and rail-
ways"
While England is advocating closer
relations with her colonies Mckinley
is busy setting up barriers between
the United States and Puerto Rico, and
for the especial purpose of making a
precedent 10 govern future action in
regard to the Philippines. Perhaps by
the time the Republican president gets
his colonies thoroughly established
England will have found an imperial
federation sbolishing colonies and
making one great union of the British
possessions. Such an outcome would
leave the American imperialists In q
very embarrassing situation, for their
great desire to ape England would
thus be entirely frustrated.

A tourist tells how ne travelled with
n young couple evidently on their HON
eymoon. and the passengers In that
particular carriage were on the grin
most OF the time over their antics.
The bride had got the man she loved.
and she didn't care who saw her put
her head on his shoulder. The bride
groom had got farm with his wife,
and II he wanted to feed her on sweets
or squeeze her hand whose business
was it7
A little old man sat directly opposite
the couple, and he looked at them so
often that the young husband finally
explained:
We've just got married"
II knowed 1t all the time," chuckled
the other.
"And we can't help 1t, you know"
"No. you can't Ill be blowed II you

.T presume it all seems very silly to
an old man IKE you," continued the
husband.
'Does it7 Does itY' eackled the old
fellow. "Well, / can tell you II does
not, then I've been there three times
over, and now I'm on my way to marry
a fourth. Sillyl Why, children, It's

"Up at my camp near the For

cattleman, "the boys are all handy

we would experiment all day with tree

could be done long ago, but 1 was mis-
taken. / sent them up a wagon. In
hauling down some firewood they
broke the holsters all to flinders. The
holsters hold up the wagon bed, you
know. Well. the boys figured out all
right the rebuilding Of the wood parts,
but came near being stumped on the
iron fxings. They got some old iron
wagon tires and cut them In proper
lengths, but hadn't a way that they
could see to punch the necessary bolt
holes. Finally the question was solv-
ed. One Of the boys carefully marked
the places for the bolts, stood the piece
Of tire against tree and put a bullet,
30 caliber, through the tire at each
place marked. 1t was a novel sort OF
blacksmithing, but II worked."-Ari-

to detect the fact that the Republican
party has put itself in bad odor. 1t is
no longer the Republicanism of Lin
coin Seward and its original founders
whose principles were founded in the
hearts and affections of the people.
The doctrines Of the party have ceased

of In conventions, there the people may

According to the rites of the Greek

had to be Immersed three times in a
baptismal font filed with water, each
time to be completely covered. In ad-
dition to various blessings and anoint-
ings with holy oil and several long
prayers.
"The benevolent looking old priest
proved himself q man of kindly
thoughtfulness. While the family group
around the baby was getting him prop
erly unclad, for the ceremony requires
that the child shall be naked, the priest
surreptitiously dipped his finger into
the font, and saw by his face that it
was too colo. Then he stepped behind
screen. where his samovar was
steaming, emptied the hot water into
a pitcher, and while the family still
kept busy over the baby he poured
enough TO temper the pool that had
been provided for the shorn lamb. The
result was that the little fellow took

thereby distinguished himself."-Chi-
