DIED..

The sad news reached Willmar the
first of the week of the death of Mrs.
Ellen Garfield, wife of L. A. Garfield,
which occurred in Minneapolis Satur-
day night, The deceased had under
gone an operation at Asbury hospital,
which was performed on Thursday.
The patient seemed to rally and it was
apparently a successful operation,
but blood poisoning set in and the
end came at $40 on Saturday even
ing. The deceased had been in poor
health for some time and had con-
suited various physicians. Her health
gradually grew worse and acting upon
the advise of physicians she left here
for the cities to seek relief by under
going the operation. The disease was
of such nature that it resulted in
paralysis of the bowels.
Deceased was Al years of age. She
leaves family of four children by
Mr.. Canfeld's first wife, also an aged
father, mother and brother residing
at Roy alton and two brothers, Messrs.
W. J. and M. L. Doble, and sister
Lillian residing at Willmar. The
sympathy of the community goes out
to the grief-stricken husband and rel
atives in their bereavement.
The remains we're sent to Bird Is
land, the former home of the family.
The funeral was held on Tuesday at
p. NJ, and the interment took place
in the family burial lot.

Public Library for WiIImar.

The village council at it's meeting
last Monday evening acted favorab]y
upon petition from fifty-two free
holders of Willmar requesting that the
question of the establishment of a
public library be submitted to the
vote of the people of the village, and
a special election will be called on the
second Tuesday of October for that
purpose. The county commissioners
at their meeting this morning gave
their consent to allow the village to
arrange for, rooms in the basement of
the courthouse for the library pur-
poses in case the people OF the village
decide favorably upon the proposition.
This was public spirited and gra-
cious action and will certainly be
appreciated by the citizens Of Willmar.
There are no good reasons why the
library should not be established,
while there are several reasons in
favor Of it, and the TRIBUNE looks for
the proposition to secure the necessary
vote TO carry.

NEGORD. Minn.., Sept, 3

NEGoRD, Minn., Sept. 3, 1900.
EDITOR TR[BUNE:-As understand,
the Peoples Party county convention
assembled in convention the 30th of
August adopted the plan for direct
nomination by the voters at the pri-
maries. Now to be sure that every
voter knows and understands it, it
ought to be discussed in the TRIBUNE
and the other papers in Willmar from
now until the primaries are held.
The difference in nominating candi-
dates by the new system provided for,
is that every voter has the right to
vote directly for the man he wishes to
haye nominated, and every one can
afford to do that by simply attending
to the primaries in his own town
where the election is to be held.
Now let US compare the old system
of nominating candidates, with the
new way of nominating The old
method was to 60 to the primaries in
each town and vote for few delegates
the new way directly for the candi-
date to be nominated) to meet with
delegates from the different towns to
make the nomination, and as a rule
there are only few who meet at the
primaries and those few present elect
themselves as delegates and nominate
ticket for the people to vote for.
Bad or good is out of the question,
and becouse you are a good party
man you must support the ticket with
out having voice in the selecting OF
candidates.
To the voters of Kandiyohi county
I will say, when the primaries have
to come of, turn out and go to your
election place and vote direct for the
man you like to have nominated.
AS I think it is about time to men
tion the names of candidates for the
different places on the county ticke,
for the coming election, I take the
liberty of presenting to the people,
party voters, at the primaries to be
held later on, the name of Mr.. S. A.
Syverson from town of Arctander as
candidate for county treasurer on the
Peoples party ticket. His many
friends urge that he should have a
place on the ticket and he is competent
for the place named and we'll worthy
of the support from the party. y.
