4 Visitor From South Africa.

Rev. Paul Gullander, a missionary
among the Swedes who have settled in
Transvaal, So. Africa, visited the
different congregations of Swedish
Lutherans in the county last week.
He is travelling in the interest of his
mission. His congregation at Johan-
nesburg was given desirable site for
church building through the influ-
ence of President Kruger, and Mr..
Gullander has so far gathered some
S2,oo0.0o in this country to assist in
the erection of a place of worship on
the same. Mr.. Gullander believes in
the ultimate triumph of the cause of
independence for South Africa. He

navian regiment was organized to as
sist in the war to maintain independ-
ence. Rev. Gullander left for MUIR

Mas No Street to Give Awav.

The petition for the vacation of two
blocks of Pacific avenue for the bene-
fit of adjoining property owners was
rejected by the village council by q
unanimous vote at the close of the
special session held last Monday to
consider. the same. Both sides were
heard in tull and the ground viewed.
Most of the councilmen expressed their
opinions quite determinedly against
the Petition. A feeble attempt was
made to postpone action until some
other time but it became too evident
that the majority was ready to vote.
Alderman Wold made the motion to
reject and Alderman Moline seconded
the motion and on roll call all the
members fell into line against the pro-
position.

Nov. rs. The ice is treacherous: it
may seem. alright at places, but it
should not be trusted anywhere. ..
The basket festival held in school
house in Dist. IS was q success and
netted s25. 25, which goes to pay for
book case for library, curtains, lamps,
and other improvements for the school
house. Lake Andrewites don't take
a back seat. The school is nicely
progressing with Miss Ellefson at the
helm. "A surprise was sprung on the
new inhabitants of the A. P. Ranne-
stad's place last Saturday night and
it got so interesting, they say, that
all stayed until the roosters were
through growing in the moring. A
very good time is reported. Mr.: and
Mrs. Ole Nicholson of Willmar came
up to spend Sunday with Lake An
drew relatives. Miss Amanda Lind
erud departed for Wil]mar recently.
....Otto Swenson experienced q cold
bath last Sunday in breaking through
the ice while skating. Fortunately
help was at hand and the young man
came out not happier but wiser. 9th
ers should take this as warning
Some time ago certain young lady
rugged out for a party left her basket
in charge OF boy. The boy placed
the basket carefully aside by the gate
while going up to a neighbof's house.
After waiting for the crowd to gather
the jolly party proceeded to reach their
destination, where the party was to be
surprised, but no one was more sur
prised then the young lady by the gate
when she found her basket minus the
contents. The poor boy was immedi-
ately called upon to answer to a GER
tain charge. He pleaded not guilty,
but at that time pair OF bright eyes
were seen over by the fence, belong
ng to an intruder of the furry tribe,
which was licking his chins up to his
ears and wagging his tail as much as
to say, "another one please" The
boy was released and after a rumpus
which reminded one of the old-time
Barnun's circus and solemn pledges
not to leave baskets outside any more
the party proceeded to their business
as though nothing had happened. -.
A move is on foot to organize a new
school district. The proposed district
is to be made up of the three western
sections of school district No. Is,
town of Lake Andrew, and the three
eastern sections of school district No.
"a of Arctauder, being sections 10,
30 and 3l.of Lake Andrew4 and Sec.
tions "a, 25> and SO sof Arctander.
The school house, ifplaced % near the
center as practicable, will be two miles
west of the school house in district
No. rs at the curve north of Guam g
house at the edge of the woods by
Stene's gate. This is very good
move and should be pushed. A walk
of three miles for school children is
too much, hence a change will be
greatly appreciated.
