Death Of a Pioneer Editor.

George T. Williams, editor Of the
Ida Grove Pioneer and well known In
Crawford county, died at his home in
Ida Grove at 4:45 o'clock Saturday
morning, after an illness OF only few
days. He was taken i'll on Monday of
pneumonia, went to bed on Wednesday
and died Saturday morning. Liver
trouble developed to complicate the
disease and he sank rapidly. Three
physicians were in attendance, DR.. A.
O. Williams, brother, arriving from
Ottumwa on Friday. The funeral took
place on Sunday afternoon and was
under the direction of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows. He was also q
member of the K. of P. and the Sioux
City lodge of Elks.
George T. Williams was born in
Navoo. ILL.,, in 1854, and moved across
the country in an ox-wagon to Tabor,
Iowa, with his uncle and his mother.
He was unable to attend school except
during the winter months, and never
attended high school or college day
in his life. He went to Ida county in
1872 and began teaching term of
school in the then little village of Ida
Grove. Realizing that his education
was not sufficient to make a speciality
of school teaching and desiring to
learn trade, he accepted proposition
to go into the Pioneer Office. At the
end of two years he purchased q half
interest and later became the sole pro-
prietor.
Mr.. Williams has been an extensive
traveller, having visited all the promi-
nent places of interest in the United
States, and also, in company with his
wife visited the Paris Exposition. He
was known as William, the town
write-up man" all over the west. was
man of much energy and push, and was
what one would call representative
American citizen. 1t was his habit to
wear his hair long, and he always wore
a large white hat, together with gray
Prince Albert coat, and his picturesque
appearance made him we'll known.
Not many years ago Mr.. Williams
was in Denison and prepared write
up of Denison and Crawford county,
which was published in the REVIEW,
making one of the largest illustrated
editions ever gotten out in this part of
the state.
Mr.. Williams will be missed as one
of the most public spirited men in Ida
Grave. He was foremost in all public
and upon his return from
the Paris Exposition was met at the
depot by brass band and a large ma
jority of Ida Grove citizens.

4 Mothers PRAYERS.

Once, says a writer, I suddenly
opened the door of my mothers room
and saw her on her knees beside her
chair, and heard her speak my name
in prayer. I quickly and quietly with
drew with a feeling of awe and rever-
ence in my heart. Soon I went away
from home to school, then to college,
then into life's sterner duties. But l
never forgot that one glimpse of my
mother at prayer, nor the one word
my own name-which I heard her
utter. Well did know that what I
had seen that day was but a glimpse
OF what was going on every day in
that sacred closet of prayer, and the
consciousness strengthened me thou
sand times in duty, in danger, and in
struggle. When death came at last
and sealed those lips the sorest sense
of loss I felt was the knowledge that
no more would my mother be praying
for me.-Preston Times.

AMBER ON BROS.
WHO IS TO ENFORCE the LAW7

Willmar ought to have an anti
saloon league or an enforcement
league or sOmething-and everybody
who voted against license at the last
election in that town-if he wishes to
be consistent-ought to belong to it
and lend his effort to the suppression
of those well known scandals, the
blind pigs-with which the city is we'll
nigh overrun at the present time
Raymond News.
It comes with bad grace for any
apologist for the present city admins
tration to hold the temperance voter
responsible for the non-enforcement of
the laws. Upon the administration
rests the entire responsibility. The
members sought the responsibility and
promised to abide by the decision of
the people whichever way they decided
on the liquor question. Now let them
fulfill their promises, or confess their
incompetency by resigning their Of
fees. Any really potent work by an
enforcement league would be resented
by the authorities now, as it has been
in the past. A great many of the tenn
perance people of Willmar feel that
the good of the cause demands that
the administration be in sympathy
with the expressed will of the majority
of our citizens. Such an administra-
ton can be secured only by holding
the officers elected strictly resDOnsih1e.
thus showing the citizens the necessity
for a change. The temperance people
should organize by all means, but in
stead of interfering with the admins
trative functions, let them agitate and
exercise their American right of pro-
test. This will bring a real cure more
quickly than screening cowardly or
Indifferent officials by doing the work
that they dare not or care not to &C.
complish.

and calls himself a "collector. He
must have plants and flowers for his
herbarium; fishes, tadpoles and aqua
tic plants for his aquarium; must
shoot every bird he sees to send away
to a taxidermist to be stuffed: must
have every birds egg he can find for
a collection, and without leave or
license from anyone.
A sturdy old farmer once met one of
these collectors up his pear tree after
some thrushes' eggs, while the poor
birds were circling round and round
ne tree in great distress.
"Hoh! What are you doing there?"
exclaimed the ireful farmer.
"Only getting few eggs for my col
lection,' was the suave reply.
"Who said you could have them?'
roared the farmer.

Messrs. Lawson &INelson, Props. The

Sirs:-I AN rejoiced at the appear

bright state paper you have placed all
populists under obligation to you,
which they can only discharge by
promptly sending in their subscrip-
ton. and that of their neighbors also.
Every man who desires this reform
movement to live and flourish in this
state should take day off and can
vass for The Minnesota Forum. So
far as I can hear, we have great reason
TO feel encouraged. I receive promises
Of earnest support for our entire ticket
from all sections Of the state. :.

It's getting to be so that a man can
feel mighty proud of being a populist
these days. Whenever any man in the
old parties comes forward with any
idea that favors the people he is q
pop, according to the plutes. There
is Bob LaFollette of Wisconsin, for
instance. He wants direct nomina-
ton of candidates by the people and
a tax system that will make the rich
buggers pung up something to keep
the government a-going, instead of
leaving that patriotic duty to the
poorer classes. Well, sir, the p]utes

The raid on Waterman's jointproves
that the authorities have the power to
do something when they choose to ex-
ercise it. There has been no satisfac-
tory reason offered why old Ben
should be singled out as the only VIC
tim of the strong hand of the law, ex-
cept that he had been insolent to some
of his old customers who participated
in the raid. Be it as it may, the other
places experienced a genuine scare and
wagons were used all night and morn
ing to move the liquors in anticipa-
ton of more general raid.

has been provided for south from the

cover portions of Mamre and Green

Der of our farmers will be placed in

world. Tie extent to which the rural
delivery system has developed is sur
prising. A friend in the First district

Kandiy obi, has over thirty routes.

The difference between the reciproci-
ty ideas of Jim Blaine and Teddy
Roosevelt is this: Jim believed in re-
ciprocity that would open markets for
American produces; Teddy believes in
a reciprocity that won't bring any
foreign-made goods here to compete
with the American trust-made goods.
Jlm's reciprocity was practicable;
Teddy's is an impossibility, because
no country will agree to give US that
kind of reciprocity.
