4 Highly Apprse eiated Lecture.

Charles S. Lindner, the lecturer, ap- ).
peared before q fair-sized audience
last Saturday evening, at Seminary
Hall. His lecture, ''Tales of the
Street" "or flights and Shadows of
Chicago Life," was handled in q man
ner which made it of more than ordin.
ary interest.
1t was about $50 when Mr.. Lindner
opened his lecture and he held the
close attention of his hearers until 10
O'Clock. He depicted the bright and
dark sides of Chicago, and carried
the visitor through the great metrop-
oils to scenes both pathetic and humor-
GUS. The talk was instructive not on.
ly to one who had never seen the
sights Of the great city but also to the
average visitor, as many phases of
metropolitan life were touched upon.
The lecture is one which will always
leave . deep impression upon those
who are fortunate enough to hear It.
Should Mr.. Lindner again favor
Wtllmar with q visit, We have no
doubt that he will be greeted With :
crowded house.

What might have proven a fatal ac-

day afternoon. The victim was Oscar
Larson, of this place, who is breaking
On the Sioux Falls line for Thomas
Geelan. The crew was on it's way to
Sioux Falls and in the yards at Mar
shall stopped to do some switching.
Oscar was at one of the switches and
while attending to his duties his foot
caught between the rail and guard rail.
He was unable to extricate himself and
realizing his danger he grabbed onto
the hand hold of the car as it came
along, thereby managing to keep his
body pretty we'll off the track. AS it
was, the flange of the wheel passed
over part OF the foot, MASKING his
little toe and breaking small bone.
Oscars injuries were temporarily at

to Willmar the following day. Word
had reached here of the accident and
his folks were prepared to take him
home in 9 carriage. He however got

ward without any difficulty. The &C.

On another page of this
Interesting issue of the TRIBUNE
Figures. will be found q table

showing the rate OF tax
alton in every school district or por-
tion of school district that is divided
between different townships. Last
week we published a table showing
the different rates of taxes levied for
the various purposes in the different
towns. The citizen who is interested
in the affairs of his county will study
these tables closely and probably find
it expedient to cut them out for future
reference. Many interesting deduc-
tions may be drawn from studying the
same. The cause for the difference in
the rate outside of the school taxes
may be readily ascertained by refer
ence to last week g table. The lowest
rate of taxation in the county is for
that part of school district NJ. 81 ly-
ing in town of White6eld, where the
total rate is but ILL mills. This is
little more than one-ffth of what the
taxpayers of the village of Willmar
are paying. The independent school
district of Willmar, No. Al, pays the
highest school taxes, viz. 25.3 mills,
and district No. 81, part of which lies
in township of Willmar, pays the
least, Ia mills. Last weeks table
showed that there are seven townships
where no tax is collected for the sup
port of the poor. The total amount
paid outside of Willmar for support
of poor is 81, 1,673.88, while the village
of Willmar pays 81, ,24.28 alone.

NOTES q COMMENT !


wI''msr's UNE has spent some
Trade. time Investigating local
trade conditions in Or
der to satisfy himself of the truth of
certain reports which are quite gener-
ally current among our farmer friends
in those parts Of the county where 9TH
er villages bid for the trade. For in
stance, one farmer of Roseland told
the editor in good faith that Olivia
was paying three cents above Will
mar prices for wheat, and sometimes
four cents. This was certainly a wide
difference and who can wonder that
the said farmer hauls his wheat to
Olivia when he believes such condi-
tions exist? He stated that he pre-
ferred to come to Willmar but did not
like to lose a dollar and half on a
load. Another farmer living in Lake
Lillian said that he took no stock in
the Olivia market, for while the buyer
there claimed to him that they were
giving two cents above Willmar mar
ket, their grades were so much lower
and the dockage so much heavier as
to more than make up the difference.
Indeed, he stated that one load with
which he tried Olivia three weeks ago
he hauled back home and took it to
Willmar, where he received one grade
more than was offered him at Olivia
and over a pound of dockage less.
These and other similar interviews
have convinced the editor that WILL
mar is being misrepresented by her
rival markets and that they in some
localities have succeeded in partially
diverting trade which would naturally
come here if conditions were thorough
ly understood. The TRIBUNE will
therefore during the spring months
devote more Of its space than usual to
the local market, In order to show the
people OF tho county not only what
prices are offered upon the day of
publication, but the fluctuations of
price during the week past, the VOL
ume of business done, sales of grain
and live stock and all business trans
actions which will be reported to US.
Then the farmer who hauls his wheat
to some other place will be able to see
just what other farmers did at Will
mar on the same day and will be able
to get correct idea of the advantages
of marketing his grain at Willmar.
The TRIBUNE feels assured that the
bug efssst W iillmsr aud sthe business.
men in general will not allow the To-
cal market to be over-bid or under
sold If they know it, and with their CO.
operation the TRIBUNE will endeavor
to keep the farmer readers bet
ter posted upon what the Willmar
market is doing than has before been
done.

tage of an opportunity in a lifetime
you had better make a hustle, as the
goods will no doubt go at half value,
The cold old winter is here again.
With it's fiercely driving blast;
Still the happy farmer is full of glee,
AS the snow falls thick and fast.
Many time be whistles so merrilv,
AS he homeward hauls the hay:
And many a song he sings so cheer

At the close of each toilsome day.
