Feb. 2.-Miss Hattie Hanson visited
her cousin, Nettie Johnson, at Ole
Erickson's Friday. and Saturday. She
also attended the basket social and
debate in the schoolhouse in district
No. 50. Oscar Carlson, the grocery
agent, has been canvassing the coun-
try in this vicinity the last week. .....
The debate on the subject "Resolyed,
that morality does not increase with
civilization" in the schoolhouse last
Saturday evening was an interesting
affair as far as the debating was con-
cerned. Peter Westling and Victor
Knutson on the affirmative side and
Miss Nettie Johnson and Fritz Born
stedt on the negative. Miss Johnson
and Mr.. Westling are splendid debat-
ers' with lots of experience in debating
and when they crash together you may
expect hot time, as both have that
remarkable characteristic of one of
our domestic animals-they are deter
mined to have their own way. The
other speakers did remarkably well
considering that this was the first time
they tried their oratorical faculties be-
fore an audience. Johannie johnson,
Erick Westlund and Victor Linman
acted as judges, and their decision
was 3 to 0 in favor of the affirmative.
After the debate the young ladies had
brought baskets which were sold for
quite high prices, some going as high
as IS cents. After they had finished
the baskets they enjoyed themselves
with games until an early morning
hour. .... "A. O. Skoglund, the genial
agent for the Jewell Nursery Co., has
been around in this vicinity the past
week. AS Andrew is a good talker
when it comes to telling of the good
points of his trees and shrubs, he is
doing splendid business. :. The oys-
ter social which should have been held
at John Ericksen's last Friday even
ing was postponed until next Friday
evening on account of the illness of
Roy, the son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Erickson ...... Fred Linn went to the
cities last Friday. .. The Gazette cor
respondent says that Mr.. Walner had
to subscribe for the Gazette 80 as to
get all the news. Oh, no; the TRIBUNE
does that just as we'll, Pal-ine. But
as he is receiving it (the Gazette) for
nothing, he could not be so impolite
as to refuse it as present. .Nettie
johnson and John Erickson took in
the social given by the Svea young
ladies' sewing society at Hegstrom's
last Saturday evening. :. Willie Linn,
the young son of Mrs. Linn who has
been sick with the measles, is now re-
covering. .,:... ..Ertck Dahlin, Who has
been visiting relatives in this vicinity
for while, left for the twin cities last
Tuesday. "A. J. Nelson has been

this organization in Minnesota, and
has met with the most fattering sue
cess. During the twelve years he held
the Office. the membership increase ed
from something over 5000 to $4,000.
That his labors were appreciated is
shown by the fact of his unanimous
reelection at every meeting of the
Grand Lodge.
In the spring of 1889 Olson was elect
ed mayor of Willmar, and was re-
elected in 1900, serving until Septem-
ber of the same year, when the Office
of the Grand Recorder was by order
of the Grand Lodge moved to Mime
apolis, and he had to bid Willmar
goodby.
Mr.. Olson was twice married. On
June II, 1881, he was united in mar
riage to Miss Emma c. Johnson,
daughter of Gustaf johnson of Kan
diyohi. Three children were born
to them, Arthur, Amy and Roy, who
survive their parents. His first wife
died about three years ago. In Sep
tember, 1900, he married Miss Frances
Buell., Grand recorder of the Degree
of Honor, the ladies branch of the A.
o. U. w.
Olof Olson was one of those fortu-
nate individuals who by their kindly,
genial nature makes friends every
where and have mo- enemies. This
large circle Of friends sincerely mourn
the untimely death of this man. They
will miss his sunny smile, his hearty
grasp OF the hand, aye, and there are
many who will remember that in the
hour of need thai hand was always
ready to- be extended to help. The
order for which he had done so mudh
will miss him badly, and will find it
hard to find successor who can work
50 efficiently, and by the magnetism of
his presence so easily smother diff
culties and settle disputes.
Peace to his ashes. His memory
will live in the memory of his friends
till death shall have gathered in the
last Of that large circle. =. =.
The funeral was held at St. Paul
last Monday afternoon. The grand
lodge of the Workmen had charge of
the ceremonies and delegations from
other lodges Of which Mr.. Olson had

WomanIy Virtues


First, one must understand that
what attracts men and what they like
are not always the same thing.
A man is often attracted by be-
witching smile, but a good-tempered
woman in the end has the greatest
hold on him and wins his respect 1t
is a mistake to think that in these
days men prefer brainIess, silly wo-
men, says the Buffalo Times
On the contrary, they like those who
have bright, quick brains, who take
an interest in things around them and
can talk sensibly on subjects in which
they themselves are interested, though
if the women possess superior know1-
edge on any one topic they will do well
to keep that fact in the background
and play the part of interested listen
erS-
Irreverent women are an abomina-
ton to men, Whatever may be their
own religious opinions, if they have
any, at any rate they like to feel that
women cling to the faith which they
once learned at their mothers knee

A New Historical Novelist.

A leading novelist Of Billville has
submitted to us the opening chapters
of a historical novel he is writing
from which we take the following as
a sample of his styIe:-
Three miles, or better, from a Great
City, man might have been seen re-
Ginning on a dead log from which he
had frightened alligator that had
been summing himself there for two
hours, or maybe three. 1t had started
out to be a Spring morning, but had
changed its mind, and at the time our
story opens-at a quarter to 10 a. M
to be eXact-a blizzard was blowing
from Chicago, or perhaps from St
Louis, at the rate of forty miles an
hour The weather in that region was
never the same two hours in the day.
1t was also quite variable in the night
and even in the early spring, or in the
late spring. the wise man took his
overcoat with him; also his snowshoes
if he had any. But this chapter has
grown too long In the next one it
will be found how our hero weathered
the hurricane-or b1izzard-and stands
before the reader, 6 feet 2 in his stock

Best WAY of Help.

The Republicans in the House who
fayOr relief for Cuba and also believe
IN protection, have, it appears. laid
down their uItimatum. They stand by
the principle of the Tawney amend
ment- They oppose any reduction in
the sugar tariff. but will help the
actual planters by granting them a
stated rebate This takes the matter
out of the hands of the sugar trust.
and gives whatever is to be conceded
direct to the producer of the sugar
1t is undoubted that this is the best
way of help, and it should carry if
there Is to be any concession at all
But Cuba, from all accounts. is in bet
ter industrial and financial condition
right now than ever she was in all her
history--Salt Lake City Tribune
The Globe-republican. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1889-1910, 1902-05-15
Not Much Relief.

The cut in duty, making it apply so
that but 80 per cent of the lawful rate
shall be collected on Cuban products,
will not give Cuban sugar planters
much relief They will have to sell
their raw sugar to the sugar trust
which owns the only refineries, and
the trust will, of course, see that they
get practically nothing of the advan-
tage which the lowered rate is sup
posed to give them But if ngress
would adopt the Tawney plan of col
lecting the full duty and giving the
rebate to the planters direct, the re-
lief would be sure and they would get
all of it. In that case perhaps the
20 per cent proposed would be enough
But with the direct cut the refineries
would get the benefits up to a point
where it would be scanda1ous to refuse
to divide with the sugar growers

Free-Trade in Cattle.

The Philadelphia Record, in dealing
with the meat trust question, says:
1T is not pretended, however, by
the most sanguine champions of free
trade that mere repeal of the meat
duties would destroy this rapacious
combination against the American
people"
Nevertheless, the Record thinks that
we should begin by repeating the tariff
behind which the trust has in
trenehed itself with the false pretense
that the duties on meats are imposed
solely to protect American farmers
But is it on false pretense that
duties meats are imposed to protect
American farmers Does not the
Record give away its whole contention
in this regard when it urges the repeal
of the tariff live animals so that
cattle can be imported free of duty
from Mexico and Canada, and thus

consumers? How shall the cost of
meat be cheapened to the consumer
unless the price of the American farm

For the first time in nearly five
years the Republican party represen-

upon TO vote on the question. Shall
the Dingley tariff be sustained2 In
order to secure an affirmative answer
to this question these Republicans
have been compelled to rely upon the
assistance of their political adver-
saries- With the aid of free-trade
democratic votes these Republicans
have succeeded in attacking and un-
dermining the principle and policy of
protection to American labor and in

There is no sentiment in trade and
foreigners do not buy of us simply be-
cause we buy of them. That is amply
demonstrated by our trade with South
America. Brazil imports over 500
100000 worth and the United States
supplies about 10 per cent of those
imports The United States buys from
Brazil five times as much as it sells
to that country, and it carries on a
onc-sided trade of that kind with
