WILLMAR MARKETS
WHEAT.
Today, opening, CSC.

OEAAA6S WV
Very little new wheat is coming in,
but q considerable quantity of old
wheat has been brou ght in the past
week, one elevator reporting the re.
ceipt of about 1000 bushels.
Reports of the yield of wheat vary
greatly, ranging from to 10 bushels
per acre in some parts of the county,
while other parts report from IA to
20 bushels. All agree, however, that
the wheat is light weight and hardly
any will grade No. l. There is a
compensating circumstance, however.
While the wheat is too light to an.
swer the requirements for the best
grade, it is so clean and bright that
millers are willing to pay more for a
lower grade than they did last year.
There is difference of only two
cents between each of the four mum.
bered grades, and even rejected is
only ten cents below No. l, while on
Aug. 8 there was margin of % cents
between them.

Base Ball Games.

Willmar lost last Fridays game at
Litch6eld by score of to l. The
lonely score was made in the ninth
inning. It was severe drubbing for
Willmar, Litchfeld out-playing her
at every point. Hard hitting and
excellent fielding on the part of Litch-
field contributed mainly to Willmar's
downfall. Batteries: Treadway and
Bothne; Gehring and Baerwald. Litch-
field was credited with II hits and
Willmar 8; errors, Litchfeld 2; Will
mar 9. Each pitcher struck out men.
The game was umpired by Blanchard,
a St. Paul man. Score by innings:

willmar redeemed herself handsome
ly at St. Cloud Sunday by defeating
that team by q score of to 3. A
large and enthusiastic crowd Witnessed
the game. Treadway and Bothne were
in the box for Willmar and Hanson
and Griebler for St. Cloud. Treadway
struck out IL men and Hanson 8; hits,
Willmar II; st. Cloud 4; errors about
even, 2 each. We were unable to Sc
cure the score by innings, but suffice
it to say that it shows up we'll for
willmar. The return game will be
played here some time next week.
The local base ball management an
nounces that a game'will be played on
Sunday at St. Cloud with the 'Too-
zes," Minneapolis team. A reduced
rate of 81. 25 will be the railroad fare
for the round trip. Excursion train
leaves here at $3.50 a. M, returning
from St. Cloud at sp: m.
Now that the trip through western
Minnesota and the Dakotas has been
given up, another one Is being con-
templated. Manager Bothne informs
us that it will probably be made the
latter part of the month. 1t will in
clude the cities of St. Cloud, Little
Falls, Brainerd, Wadena, Aitkin and
Park Rapids. The teams of those
places will have to look out for their
laurels.
The willmar Tribune gives an i'm.
partial and truthful report of the three
last games played by the Litchfield
and Willmar teams. 1t sets an ex-
cellent example for the Gazette.-
Litchfeld News Ledger.
The waseca-Litchaeld game at Lex
ington Park last Sunday resulted in
q bad defeat for Litchdeld. Score 9

championship for another year: The
game was attended by >9,270 people,
the largest crowd perhaps that ever
assembled on the St. Paul grounds
to witness q ball game. Cox of Litch.
field is spoken of as being wild in his
playing, with miserable support from

played brilliant ball, the main credit
OF the victory being due to Wilson,

FLAX.

Flax is being marketed in consider
able quantities. The yield is fair and
the quality quite good. The price
went down during the week from 81. SO
to S1.43 and then rose to $1.49. At
these prices there is certainly money
in fax raising. A farmer in Lake
Andrew brought in load of Is sacks
OF flax this morning and received
S6l.lO for it. This represented the
yield of about three acres.

Quietly Married.

A very quiet wedding was solemn.
lied last Sunday evening at ST. Luke &
church, when Rev. D. T. Booth united
in the holy bonds of matrimony Ma
son W. Spicer and Miss Ella G. Moss
berg. The ceremony took place al
9:30 o'clock, shortly after the regular
service. Only the immediate families
of the bride and groom we're present
to witness the ceremony. The happy
event was soon announced to the com.
plete surprise Of a large number o.
our people, who had anticipated the
event to take place on the following
evening. No formal announcement
had been made as to the date, but the
friends of the contracting parties had
been made to believe that Aug. IL was
the date set. However, be that as il
may, their friends soon recovered
from the disappointment, and are
ready to give them cordial recep-
ton on their return home.
Immediately after the ceremony the
bridal pair drove to the groom's farm
near Pennock, and afterwards boarded
the morning passenger which passed
through here for the East. They left
for Duluth yesterday, from where they
take passage to Buffalo via the great
lakes. Their wedding trip will in
clude visit to the Pan-American Ex-
position and a journey along the ST.
Lawrence river. They will return by
the rail route, and are expected back
in Willmar the early part of septem-
her.

MEETS HIS DEATH.
Albert Casey Falls Into Boiling Water
and Receives Scalding That
Results in Death.

Elbert Casey, a young man residing
or the "fat," met with a most
horrible death on Saturday last. He
nad been in the employ of the Under
wood Veneer company less than week
as fireman and on Friday evening, at
went out into that portion of the factory
which contains the steaming tanks,
used to steam and boil the logs for the
purpose of softening them before they
are cut up into veneering. His purpose
in visiting this room was to fix valve
connecting the tanks with the boilers.
These tanks are about feet in depth
about five feet wide and about 10 feet
long. When logs are placed in them
they are kept covered but otherwise are
always open. In walking around this
tank easy slipped in some manner and
fell into the tank of boiling water. He
cried for help and tried to climb out
but could not and it was nearly five
minutes before his appeals for help
brought assistance. The pain at first
was terrible but gradually a sense of
numbness overcame him and he was
about to sink when rescued.
After being pulled out of the tank,
Drs Eichert and Christensen were
| telephoned for and within a few min
utes after he was taken in the ambu-
lance to the Riverside hospital. He
| had stood in the hot water so long that
the flesh on his lower limbs, his chest
and one of his arms was fairly cooked
and when his clothes were removed
great masses of skin peeled off with the
clothes. He suffered untold agony from
that time until shortly afte 2 P NJ the

HERMAN MARQUARDT DEAD.

At 10 o'clock this morning, Tuesday,
February 10, 1901, Herman w. H. Mar
quardt, died at his home in this city, of
pneumonia after a sickness of only two
weeks. Like the death of his good wife
which occurred only week ago, it was
received with great sorrow in the COM
munity, for there has not lived a better
citizen or neighbor in Wausau.
For over forty years Mr.. Marquardt
has resided here, and during that time
he has lived perfect life, such an one
as has wronged no one nor made an
enemy.
Herman w. H. Marquardt was born
on the Goth of March, 1929, in the vii
lrge of Bandikow, near Plathe, Province
of Pomerania, where he resided until
young man and where in 1866 he was
united in marriage to Marie Kick busch,
sister of August and Frederick Kick
busch of this city. On the Goth day of
March, 1857, deceased and his wife
started for America, and were accom-
panied by F. w. Kickbusch, and others.
They arrived in Milwaukee on the Goth
of May the same year, and lived there
and in that vicinity for three years and
came to Wausau in 1860 with his family,
driving through with an OK team and
arriving here on the 10th of April. He
purchased a piece of land in the town
of Stettin and cleared it up into farm.
Here he made the first brick ever manu-.
featured in the county. After few
years he moved into the city, and was
teamster for Kickbusch Bros, for a
number of years. He then. established
the first brick yard in the city the same
being just on the outskirts, east. His
home for many years was on the corner
south of st. Paul's church, which was
sold later to Herman Blaesing, on
which to place a hotel. He then with
his family, moved onto his farm one
mile east of Wausau, where they re-
sided until three years ago when he
sold it and moved on to the farm of
F. w Kickbnsch, known as the brick
yard.
Deceased was a man of iron constitu-
ton, hard worker, and was able at
any time, when necessary, even at his
advanced age, to put in full days
work without getting tired
One week ago his beloved wife de-
parted this life At that time Mr. Mar
quardt was very sick and, it seems,
thought his end was near for he gave
orders to have the box, which enclosed
the caskct, made large enough for two.
And SO in death this worthy couple
will occupy one grave.
Mr.. Marquardt leaves seven children,
viz: William, John, Fred, Ferdinand,
Herman and Mrs. Robert Braatz and
Mrs. Chas. Hopke
The funeral services will take place
from St. Paul's church on Sunday after
noon at 2 o clock, and will be in charge
of the kranken Understandings Verein,
the Rev. Schaer officiating.
