Governor Shaw today opened the cases
in the capitol which contain the Iowa bat
tie flags and took therefrom two flags which
are to be sent to New York TO be placed
in Grants tomb on the Hudson. The flags
taken were those OF the Ninth and Fiji
teenth regiments OF infantry, these being
selected because these regiments are rep
resented by other flags which remain in
the states collection. The governor was
authorized to do this by the last general
assembly. They will be sent to General
Grenville NJ. Dodge. to be turned over to
the proper authorities in charge OF the
mausoleum. All OF the Iowa battle flags
are carefully preserved, although many OF
them are now but shreds and held together
by cheesecloth coverings.

Lend . Helping Hand.

The most successful ''surprise" of
the season was sprung on Mr.. and
Mrs. G. o. Sand last Monday even
ing. They were invited to spend the
evening at the home of Peter Rasmus-
son and went there without the least
idea of what was in store for them.
There they met party of about IS
people, and Rev. Gynild after a few
we'll chosen words handed to Mr..
Sand box containing $3.50. Is in cash.
The money had been raised by sub
scriptions among the people of Will
mar, to help Mr.. Sand, who lost
everything he had invested in his pusi-
ness by the late fire. The recipient
was so overcome by his emotions that
he could hardly speak, but he finally
managed to express his thanks to the
donors. Coffee and cake were served
by the ladies, and everybody enjoyed
the best kind of a time-that which
comes from a consciousness of having
done good deed. Mr.. K. T. Ryk-
ken then led prayer service, after
which the crowd dispersed.

Didn't Appreciate Norsn's Humor.

Didn't Appreciate Norsn's Humor.
Some time ago the Gazette printed
an attempt at humorous write.up of
the Village of Cokato over the sigma
ture of of "A. J. NJ" Over a COL
umu of space was used in raw ridicule
and horsy jests. Tony no doubt in
tended it for sort of q ''josh" on his
old home town, not to be taken seri-
ously, but the Cokato people did not
see it In that light. In special edi-
tion of the Cokato Enterprise the arti-
Gle was reproduced and denounced as
"a detestable piece of business" and
an insult and the author was rebuked
for showing ''such ingratitude. But
the wrath of the Cokato people was
not appeased by the denunciation in
their paper. When Noren made his
last visit to Cokato, arriving Satur-
day afternoon last, he was fooled by
a bogus telephone call to come down
town after dark. He was stopped on
his way down by an overwhelming
shower of rotten eggs and decayed
fruit. It was then Tony's turn to get
angry, but he was assured that if he
was not able to see the joke in the
proceedings they had a more heroic
treatment in reserve. Tony will prob
ably hereafter confine his humorous
efforts to the sporting department of
the Willmar Gazette.

The Bank of Wi1lmar was the pio-
neer institution of it's kind in this
town. 1t was started as q private
bank in 1873 by II. II. Corson and w.
P. Todd. A few years later these gen.
tlemen sold out the business to A. B.
Robbins of Willmar and Weston &
Beale of Maine. In 1884 Messrs. A..
E. Rice, ]. H. Brown, G. E. Lien, M.
Jorgenson, H. J. Dale and P. H.
Roise bought the Weston & Beale in.
terest and the institution was organ
lied as state bank. Since that time
the Brown heirs and Messrs. M. D.
Manning and Peter Hanson have ac-
quired stock in the bank.
The first building occupied by the
bank was small one-story frame
building on the present site of the
Segerstrom music store. In the fall
of 1875 A. B. Robbins erected q brick
veneered building on the present site
of the bank. This building was occn-
pied by the bank until 1891, when it
moved into the Gl]ger block. Last
spring the old bank building was re-
moved and the erection of the present
building was begun.
