a Coming Attraction.

Diamond Bros. Big White Minstrels
packed the Sixth Avenue theatre to
The doors last night and gave one OF
the best minstrel performances seen in
this city this season. The first part
was certainly as fine as ever seen.
The soprano song of Mr.. Harry
Harter, dearest Girl I Know and
''The Fortune Telling Man," by Sam
Hood, were heartily encored. The
gags by the end men were new and
therefore something in the way of a
novelty. In the olio, the talking act
by Garfield and Gallagher, and the
monologue of Frank Horton was very
good. Charles Chester, the equili-
brist, gave a wonderful performance
of hand balancing. Fay and O'Leary
closed the performance with a very
clever comedy juggling act.-Duluth

Hay Burned Near Pennock.

Sparks from a Great Northern rail.
road engine set fire to the prairie
about half mile west of Pennock last
Monday afternoon. In few moments
a fierce prairie fire started northward
from the track and before it was stop
ped seven hay stacks had been con-
sumed. There were several hundred
tons of hay in the track of the fire,
and there is no doubt but all would
have been burned If so many people
had not come and fought the fire.
The hay was owned by Charley STERN
lof of Mamre and is estimated to be
about go tons. 1t was nearly all
the hay Mr.. Stjernlof had, but as the
Great Northern railroad company is
responsible for the loss, it is hoped
that he will recover itsrom them.

much as the paddock on the door had
not been placed there for the purpose
of keeping anyone from preaching
there. No notice had been received
by the church authorities that Presi-

hence the church was not open when

MISREPRESENTATION OF FACTS.

BRECKENRIDGE, Oct. IL, 1901.
Editor OF the Willmar Tribune
For the sake of my own people, my
many friends and the world at large, I
wish to correct or repudiate, certain
statements and misrepresentation OF
facts, either from lack of knowledge of
actual facts or wilful misrepresenta-
tlon In order to satisfy the morbid Gu
r1osity of the readers of the Republic
an Gazette, contained in said paper of
Oct. 3, 1901. The writer first states
that the information as to facts is mea-
gre, yet he proceeds to write nearly a
column of things which are not facts,
as far as I am concerned. The state
ment that I had made a confession is
barefaced lie of the deepest dye.
never made any confession either un-
der pressure of the ''officers" or other
wise as l had none to make, being en-
tirely innocent of having received any
stolen goods with the knowledge that
they were stolen, or having partaken
with the others in dividing same.
The further statement that I was the
first man arrested is another lie, and
[ am confident that when this matter is
cleared up in court it will be proven
that am entirely innocent. The fur
ther statement in said article that the
stolen goods were of the value of 81 600
is another fabrication manufactured
out OF the same cloth as the first.
It seems to me that it is g. shame
and disgrace that an innocent person
shall have his name blackened, his
reputation destroyed and his honor
disgraced, simply for the purpose of

with others; but how difficult to see
our own faults, to understand our
weak points and to remember as we
see faults in others, they might see as
bad and perhaps worse in US. But
let us be charitable and do like the
young man who painted a picture of
his beloved, upon whose brow there
was a scar. He placed his hearts
idol with elbow resting on the table
and supporting the head with one
finger covering the scar. Let us thus
endeavor to place the finger of charity
over the scars of our brethren.
