will accrue from our products when re-
fined. We expect to commence Building
Dur Refinery in the very near future. The
sale of the next allotmento of stock will be made
for that purpose. The largest flowing wells
in California were brought in adjoining our

report rapid progress on our wells and we ex-
pect to bring in gushers equal, if not to excel
any in the Sunset field. Our General Mama

David Carlson has been laid up with
several boils around the neck which
proved quite serious, but owing to the.
able care of an Olivia doctor he is re-
covering. 49,. Miss Alma Swedin came
home from Minneapolis some time
ago. .Chas. Abrahamson of Iowa
came to Lake Lillian last week after q
years absence, to renew old acquaint-
ances. The heaviest load ever
hauled to Willmar from Lake Lillian
was undoubtedly hauled last Thurs
day by A. A. Swedin, Jr. It consist
ed of about 80 bushels of wheat. We
would be tempted to give Andrew the
honor for hauling the heaviest load,
but after thinking the matter over, we
must say, credit to his team. .........
Peter Peterson and family of Belt,
Cass county, Mont, arrived here
some time ago and are staying with
his brother, John A. Peterson. We
understand Mr.. Peterson sold his es-
tate in Montana and will engage in
business in Olivia. .... Anton Per-
son returned last week to Two Har-
bors. He worked for the Frankson-
Carlson Threshing Co. for some time.
......D. Carlson has rented the Peter
Larson farm and Anton Rudbeck the

will remain there this winter. .........
Miss Mary Anderson, formerly of this

Seminary Notss.

The enrolment at the Seminary is
at present 95.
The entertainment al the Seminary
is to be on Nov.slb Of Noy.3
q, as was stated in an earlier issue
of this paper.
The weather has been quite cool of
late at the Seminary, due to the
quietness of the campaign this year.
Indeed politics do not bother US very
much. We are all on the same side so
there is no room for argument.
The Amphictyonic Debating Society
will meet Thursday night and discuss
the outcome of the election, providing
the outcome is bad. If the outcome
is good we will discuss the weather or
free board in the crackerbox instead
of free trade.
Among the Seminary students you
will 6nd several socialists who do
their party honor.
The football has disappeared, due to
the cool weather and the carelessness
of the students. They did not use it
right so it concluded to run away.
Information as to it's whereabouts
will be thankfully received at the
scribe's Office.

Detective e eearlns Breaks, Letting Car
3 Run so Feet Down orads.-Em-
ploye Badly Bruised.


Again has q workman on the Great
Northern become the victim of an &C.
cident, making an unusually large list
at this point in short period. The
unfortunate man this time is John e.
johnson, who is employed at the coal
sheds in unloading coal. He was at
work Thursday night and while in the
act of uncoupling cars the gearing
broke. johnson being between the
cars was dragged down with them, the
entire distance being about fifty feet
to the ground. He was all alone when
the accident happened aud it was
about couple of hours before he was
discovered in his precarious condition.
When picked up he was found lying
under the brake beam and in an un-
conscious condition. He was removed
to the Frost hospital and his injuries
attended to. He was badly bruised by
the fall and received severe shaking
up, and it was feared that he was also
internally injured. Fortunately no
bones were broken and it is expected
that he will recover without any seri-
GUS results.
Johnson was removed on Saturday
afternoon to his home on Mason
street, in the east part of the city.

cans Make Gains In West.
Early election returns show eight
republican congressman elected in
Minnesota. John Lind succeeded in
defeating Loren Fletcher in Mime
apolis by majority from 1000 to
1900.
Ramsey county went for Van SAINT
by nearly 1900 and eight republicans
and four democrats were elected on
the county ticket.
Republicans will retain control of
both houses of congress but with re-
duced majorities.
Van SAINTS plurality over Rosing
with complete returns from half the
counties is $4,000. 1t is more prob
able that this will be increased than
decreased.
Republicans carry the following
states with majorities estimated:
Wisconsin, $4,000; North Dakota,
5000; Connecticut, $4,000; Ohio, TO-
600; Indiana, $4,000; Iowa, 10000;
Massachusetts, $1,000; Pennsylvania,

nois, so, 600; Michigan, $4,000; South
Dakota, :20, 900; Montana, Idaho and
Kansas. The democrats carry the
southern states with their usual ma
jorities.
wyoming, Washington and Utah
are safely republican. Colorado is
in doubt on state ticket, but Teller
will be returned to senate. Nebraska
is in doubt.
In New York Gov. Odell was re-
elected by the narrow majority of H.
600 over Coler, and there is some talk
of contest. The state elected 10 re-

There are a number of very. defec-

little looking after, otherwise there
is danger of pedestrians meeting with
accidents. A young lady had her
foot badly wrenched several nights
ago and was quite bitter in her com
plant of the negligence of some of
our property / owners. It would be
we'll for our citizens to attend to the
needed repairs in time and thus avoid
damage suits. The greatest danger
Is on those walks where there are no

despair takes hold of the heart, to be
tollowed later by the keener sense of
grief and loneliness. Sympathy ex-

heart that understands.
