Taken to ForRus Fall.

One Of the unfortunate affairs in
which q probate court is called upon
to officiate has resulted i in the incar-
ceration OF Olava Dengerud> in the
Fergus Falls hospital for the insane.
The girl is the 17-year-old daughter
of AISLE and Bergitta Dengerud OF
Dovre, and has been supplemented
nearly all her life. She has been a
source of great worry to her parents,
who it seems were unable to care for
her on account of her roaming dispo-
sition. She had been employed as a
domestic at different places, but on
account Of her queer actions was I'M
able to retain her positions any length
Of. time. The attention of the authori-
ties was finally called to the case, and
on Saturday the girl brought be-
fore an examining board. The case
was q peculiar one in that the patient
did not seem to be fit subject for the
insane hospital. She was detained
here over Sunday and on Monday
was finally committed to the hospital.
She was taken to Fergus Falls on
the night train in charge of Sheriff
Odeli and Mrs. John Gorwell. !.

The republican papers are rejoicing
because the Pennsylvania democratic
convention made no mention of Bryan.
Neither does it mention any of the
anti Bryan doctrines. It is not q
partisan platform in any sense; it is
only an attempt to unite: all the op.
ponents of Quay in order to rid Penn
sylvania of the corrupt machine that
has dominated it so long. If the
ticket named at that convention should
be victorious it would not be victory
for any party but simply for purer
local government. It is to be hoped
that~the honest people of Pennsylvania
will be sensible enough to unite on
this non-partisan platform and redeem
the state. 81. =. .'#.eEE 'E~ -

Columbia, Venezuela and Ecuador

Is being made to unite them into one
republic. The movement is of interest
to this country from the fact that the
revolutionists in Columbia are threat

nails of the route across the Isthmus
of Panama. By the treaty of 1848 the
United States guaranteed to New

A fine exhibition of ball playing
was witnessed at Athletic Park yester-
day afternoon, when the Willmar Jun
Tors crossed bats with the Glenwood
team. The boys put up game that
would have been credit to far older
teams. The score was to l, in favor
of Willmar. Glenwood's lonely run
was secured in the first inning, by q
base on balls and wild pitch. A
feature of the game was q two-bagger
by Charles Nelson of the home team,
In tho seventh inning, which gave
Willmar two of her runs. Glarum
and Sather for Willmar and Abra-
hanson and Wollan for the visitors
constituted the batteries. Peter Bonde
gave general satisfaction as umpire
and the game was a very smooth one
throughout.

..1Ap, POLITICS."

Representative Geo. r. aybourn of
Duluth is opposed to the calling
of an extra session of the legislature
next winter. One ofthe reasons given
is that it would be bad politics. AS it
il generally conceded that the present
system of taxation is very defective it
might seem strange that an attempt to
remedy these defects would be bad
politics for the party that has the
power to do it. But from q machine
politicians standpoint Laybourn's
statement may not be so wild after all.
If any reform at all is made in the tax
laws it must strike the corporations
unfavorably. Now be it remembered
that next year is an "off year," and
consequently there will be no contribu-
tions coming from the national COM
mittee to help carry the state for the
republican party. The managers must
therefore rely on local corporations to
furnish the ''grease" for the machine.
If the legislature should adopt any
system of tSxation that would compel
these corporations to bear their share
of the tax load they might refuse to
shell out when the republican cam.
paign managers pass the hat. On the
other hand, should the legislature meet
and fail to pass an equitable tax Law
the people might remember it on cleo.
ton day. If the work is postponed
the republicans can hope to satisfy
both sides with promises, and if the
legislature then fails to do the right
thing the people will have nearly two
years in which to forget it.

Hedge Moen Again Committed.
The mental arrangement of Hedge
Moen, son of Gunder Moen, of Arc
lander, made it necessary to have the
young man committed to the Fergus
Falls hospital for q second time. He
was brought to-. Willmar and exam.
ined in the probate court on Wednes:
day Of last week. The young man
seems to be laboring under the i'm
preston that he has an attack of some
disease, and if he could only get his
head into steam or inhale smoke, he
would be cured Of the malady. In his
many experiments he at one time set
fire to setting Of wheat and 1t was
only by exercising great deal Of
vigilance that he was kept from doing
himself bodily harm. He was dis
missed from the asylum some time
agoe0n account Of his failing health
and It was feared that his death was
not far of. The young man however
recovered il bodily strength, but un.
fortunately retained his weak mind.

. We notice that several republican
papers refer to Henry Feig's appoint
ment to lucrative Office in very dis
respectful terms. We do not think
this is fair to Henry. If he was good
enough to use for abusing the pops,
he is good enough to participate in
the distribution of pie. Henry has
used acres of newspaper space and
infinite volumes of his splendid voice
in denouncing the editor of the TR1B-
UNE as an unprincipled cuss who sub
ordinated everything in order to make
political gains, and while we resented
it at the time as being unwarranted
we have freely forgiven him all a.

hurt US, and they proved a good

4 New Brick Business Block.

Plans are being drawn for the new
brick building of Ole Barnstad, to be
erected on Fourth street, adjoining the
new Bank of Willmar building. It
will be a two-story structure, 50x75
feet. The lower floor will contain
two apartments for business purposes,
while the upper floor will probably
be used for Offices. AS soon as the
old building, which now occupies the
lots, can be disposed of to buyer,
arrangements will be made at once to
vacate, and it will not be long before
the excavation work will begin.

WEDNESDAY, AUG. II, 1901
clAusEm At the PIE COUNTER AGAIN.

When 8 man has Toasted on official
pie for q few years he seems to lose
all taste for other grub, and is ready
to take any old place just so it is a
public Office. This is exemplifed in
the case of A. c. Clausen, for many
years Chief Grain Inspector of Mime
sofa. Since he was removed from his
Office by the Lind administration he
has been like disconsolate exile sit
ting by the shore and casting longing
looks across the ocean that separates
him from his home. With the ''splen-
did executive abitity' and Thorough
knowledge of the wheat business" that
we are assured Clausen possesses it
might seem certain that some of the
great grain dealers would offer salts
factory inducements to secure his SER
vices. But if any such inducements
were offered Clausen could not hear
them on account of the constant ring
ing in his ears of that melodious word,
"office.''
Two years rolled by, and the ad'
ministration was changed. Now the
sun of hope dispelled the gloomy
vapors that enveloped the poor for.
lorn officeseeker. But, alas! the ad.
ministration dared not re-instate him
as Inspector. The judgment agains,
him had been too plainly pronounced
The sun was hid again. But now a
star of hope appeared, and guided his
steps in another direction. The Rail.
road and Warehouse Commission
needed a clerk. To be sure they had
an experienced one, but as he had been
allowed to hold over during Lind ad.
ministration, he had no claims on the
present one. And now, after these
two long years of weary dependency.
heart-rending disappointments and de.
layed hopes Clausen once more sinks
into an official chair, and CALCULATES
"Ah, this is living once more :"
But while the appointment is fairly
satisfactory to Clausen and his friends
it has caused no wave of enthusiasm
among the people and the newspapers,
Even republican papers have criticised
it., as the following clipping from the
Minneapolis Journal will show:
A. G. Clausen, former chief of the
grain inspection department, has beer
elected secretary of the state railroad
and warehouse commission. The choice
of Mr.. Clausen was not unexpected
but from the standpoint of politics il
is bad selection. Mr.. Clausen is I'M
doubleday an able man, but in all hi
public service he has failed to estab
lish a reputation for being consideratt
of the interests of the producers. TIT
present state railroad commission, thu
first one under the new plan of electine
commissioners, has thus far succeeded
IN making a record not unexpected il
view of the larger part of it's makeup
but one which promises to keep the
republican managers busy in the mex
campaign explaining, and the election
of Mr.. Clausen will not make that tasI
any less formidable.

''Roseland base ball team played 8

so. The Svea team only played on,

beautifully disappointed. They also
