Another Change In Time.

A new time card went into effect on
the Great Northern last Sunday morn
iog. There are few slight changes
from the old schedule, which it is
thought will prove more satisfactory
to the travelling public. AS now ar.
ranged, the day train from the east
leaves st. Paul in the morning at 9:50,
arriving here at l:55 p. m. 1t now
makes connections with the train from
the west, No. II, which arrives here
ct the usual hour, 2 p. m. No. IL then
leaves for Sioux City at 2:l5,. arriving
there at lO:05. The other changes are
in the time of Nos. IL and AZ, the. St.
Paul-Sioux City night trains. No.
Al arrives here from ST. Paul 20 min
utes later than formerly, being due at
11:50. The time of departure is 1901
q. m. No. AZ leaves Sioux City at
1885 p. m., arriving in Willmar at
1925 a. m. The time of departure is
1886.
No. Al will stop at all stations be-
tween St. Paul and Willmar except
Montrose, Smith Lake, Dassel, OAR
win and Kandiyohi, and will also
stop at nearly all points south.
The above are the only changes
made in the time of trains running in
to Willmar, and it is now believed
that the schedule is so arranged that
it will be permanent. Chief Dis
patcher Welch, who was in St. Paul
with other dispatchers arranging the
new schedule, returned last Thursday .
There has been rumor afoat for
some time that q coast train will be
put on this line, but we are not in a
position to state definitely that such
will be the case.

HELD ON A SERIOUS CHARGE.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Benson Arrested
In this city-charged with
Forging Draft.

Sheriff John Hartman arrived in
this city last night from Tacoma,
Wash, to take charge of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Benson, who were held
here on the serious charge of making
and passing forged draft for $3.50 on
the National Bank of Commerce of
Tacoma last March. The sheriff re.
turned this morning having in custody
Mr.. Benson, but owing to the i'll.
ness of his wife, who is detained at
the Frost hospital, she was unable to
accompany them to face the charge. ;.
The affair is one that has excited
much sympathy and it is to be hoped
that the pair will be able to clear them
selves, as they strongly protest their
innocence. The arrest was made here
by Deputy Sheriff Hanscom, who acted
i under instructi ons from the sheriff Of
Tacoma. The Bensons have been
held here since last Wednesday.
Benson was a Great Northern en-
ploye, being employed at this point as
q brakeman since last July. He says
that he was employed in the bridge
department Of the Northern Pacific at
Tacoma during his residence there,
leaving later for Denver, Colorado.
From there he came to Atwater, where
he has relatives and where he secured
employment for q time. He entered
the train service at Willmar as an in
experienced trainman and during the
couples residence in this city their
conduct was of such y nature as to
win the esteem of all whom they met.
They occupied rooms at the residence
of W. w. Knight.
Benson in speaking of the affair
says that he had been expecting re-
mittances from relatives in Atwater,
and that the draft came into his pos
session through the mail delivered at
his number in the city. There were
other Edward Benson's residing there,
but as this particular draft was direct
ed to his address it was retained. AS
to the forgery that is question which
will be settled at the proper time.
Mr.. Benson's old home is near
Grove City, where his folks reside.

Death Of Mrs. w. B. cartledre.

The sad intelligence of the death OF
Mrs. W, B. Cartledge will occasion
much regret among her Kandiyoh.
county relatives and friends, where
sne was so we'll known and highly
esteemed. The news first reached
relatives at Burbank, her old home,
Tuesday of last week, by wire, stat
ing that she passed away at 1890
q. m. that day at Seattle, Wash.
Her husband and daughter Flossie
had been summoned there q week be-
fore by a telegram announcing her
serious illness, so they were present
when tho final summons came. De-
ceased had been q sufferer for some
time with cancer, but we understand
that the dreaded disease consumption
was the direct cause of her death.
The family had been planning to
make their future home in Washing >
ton state, for which place the deceased
left last July and has been spending
the time up to her death with Mrs. w.
A. Sperry and other relatives. She
leaves besides her husband the fol-
lowing children: Mrs. Cora Sperry,
now of Valley, Wash, Andrew, John
and Flossie.
The 1nterment was at Prosser,
WASH, the future home of the family.
Mrs. Fanny E. Cartledge was born
"a years ago the 18th day of March,
in the state Of Ohio, her maiden name
being Hudson. She had been mar
ried twice, her first husband being
Louis Geer, who died in the early Sc
venties. The deceased has for years
been a prominent and respected res
1dent of Burbank where she has
many relatives.

WORK A SMOOTH GAME.
Farmers are Warned Against Another
"eraft" which Is Being Sue.
cessfullv Worked.

A little timely advice to our farmer
friends may result in their being on
their guard against another "fake''
which has already caught a number
OF ''suckers" in this state. The game
is worked in the following manner:
The graft seems to be the selling of
patent rights to territory, giving the
privilege to sell certain kind of
water tank that is said by the parties
working the 'graft, " to be better than
any other kind on the market They
approach the best farmers in the coun-
try and take their notes for the price
and after they have got the note sell
it to some other third person before it
is due.
All the farmer gets is the right to
sell the proposed water tank in certain
territory and the promise of a tank
and the smooth man working the deal
gets the money for the farmers note
at any bank where he is known to be
good, and the chances are ten to one
that the note must be paid no matter
whether the goods are delivered or
not.
Farmers and every one should re-
member that it is a dangerous piece
OF business to sign notes or papers
for stranger, and that when these
men come around and present a
scheme which they make to appear al
right, it is always best to wait until
the goods are delivered before you
settle for the same.
Ia Lincoln county it is said that
one man bit on the water tank scheme
to the tune of 5000.

Served Them Right.

According to reports from Walnut
Grove they have a "Carrie Nation"
in the person of Mrs. VanCise who
has been making it pretty hot for
some of the gambling places in that
"wide open" burg. We are informed
that the husband of the above men,
toned lady, had been in the habit of
blowing in his time and money in a
gambling house in that village and
neglecting his family until the wife
could stand it no longer, so recently
one Sunday afternoon she armed her.
self with an ak and proceeded to make
things lively. She chopped a door
down and after gaining entrance to
the rooms over q saloon where
number OF men had been gambling,
sshas Qceeded to destroy the furniture.-
She chopped the legs off and split up
fine mahogany billiard table, cut up
chairs and tables and chopped holes
in the floor so that they could look
down into the saloon below. Her hus-
band endeavored to stop her but she
was so .enraged that che would. no
doubt have attacked him had not the
other men interfered. After she had
destroyed the most of the stuff in the
room one man who was standing be-
hind chair remarked that she had
done enough damage, whereupop the
woman drew revolver and poked it
under his nose and then took her Ak
and demolished the chair he had been
standing behind. The woman is small
and very frail, and after it was over
she said that there were few other
things in the room that 8 he wanted to
chop up, but her strength gave out.
It is said that the frequenters of the
place were pretty badly frightened and
thatif they continue their games it
will be in pretty secret manner

Death Removes I Good Citizen.

Intelligence was received in this city
Thursday morning of the death of s..
Sybouts, which occurred at his home
in Roseland town on Wednesday
night. The following obituary notice
has been received ut this Office from
An old friend and neighbor of the
deceased: I
This community was shocked to
hear OF the sudden death of Mr..
Sybouts. Nobody knew that Mr..
Sybouts was suffering from any seri-
GUS ailment. The cause of death was
pronounced to be dropsy of the heart.
The funeral was attended by many
who had esteemed Mr.. Sybouts for
his high character as q citizen and
Christian gentleman.
Deceased was born in Holland Sc
years ago and immigrated to this
country in 1884. After residing in. Iowa
and Dakota he moved to this county
in 1895, where he was successful
farmer up to the day of his death.
Nj. SybOuts was a man of retiring
and unobtrusive character. Being
highly educated, only congenial
friends could estimate his real worth.
These high endowments would have
gained recognition in an ideal society.
They were not the kind to gain the ap-
plause of the sordid crowd. The as
surance of an immortal life beyond
the grave strengthens the hope that
whatever seemed incompleted here
will there expand into flowers and
fruit in the divine sunshine.

A BRITISH ATTACHE persona
NON GRATA.
Naval Attache of the Embassy at
Washington Too Curious About Am
erican War Vessel Movement

WASHINGTON, April 27.-Captain
Lewis Bayly naval attache of the
British embassy at the national capi-
tai, will be recalled by his Government,
without prejudice to his character or
standing, for what might properly be
termed perniCious activity in obtaining
information concerning the United
States. This course is considered the
easiest one to dispose of the nOtoriety
into which he has been drawn by his
overzealousness in gathering military
information.
About three months ago it was said
that Bayly would be recalled, but that
he would be permitted to remain here
a little while so as not to make his hui
initiation too great and to let comment
with regard to his actions die out. He
probably would have left this country
shortly if it had not been for the revi-
val of the story by a statement made
in the House of Commons by Niscount
CranboTne that no complaint against
Bayly had been made to Lord PaunCe-
fote, the British ambassador here, and
that Pauncefote had been informed
that the allegations against the naval
attaChe were groundless.
Bayly may be recalled at once, but
the United States Government may
consent to his remaining here for a
short time.
The original offense alleged against
Bayly grew out of his curiosity in con-
nection with the war practice of the
North Atlantic squadron at Newport
last summer. Bayly, it is understood,
applied to the Navy Department for
permission to witness the exercises but
the request was refused, it being
deemed inadvisable to have any foreign
Government acquainted with the man
ner in which the exercises were con-
Quoted.
Bayly then accepted an invitation to
be guest on a yacht which kept close
to the ships at Newport during the war
games and was able to observe every
move of the American ships.

DANGER OF CHOLERA.
Board of Health to Restrict HarboI
Bathing.

The Board of Health yesterday after
noon discussed the ACCESSIBILITY of pro-
hibiting fishing or bathing in the wa
ters near Quarantine Island or any
where between the island and Iwilei,
or at the mouth of Nuuanu stream, on
account of the alarming increase of
cholera in the Orient. Dr. L. S. Cofer
quarantine officer, furnished report of
the spread of the disease, and suggest
ed that the Board take action to stop
bathing and fishing in the localities
mentioned.
The cholera outbreak of 1895 was
traced to the waters of the harbOr,
where natives fished and bathed as
they do now, in the low waters Of the
Eva end of the harbor. Germs were
supposed to have come from quaran-
tine island, where a patient from the
Orient was confined. The Board Of
Health yesterday referred the matter
to Attorney General Dole, for an opin-
ion as to the powers of the Board in
the matter, and at the next meeting
resolution will probably be passed
making the prohibition suggested by
DR.. COfer.
The bill of health of the steamship
Peru, presented by DR.. Cofer, showed
