hit BY THE PASSENGER
Marrow Escape from Death by Pro-
hibition Workers.-The Men
Saved BY Jumping,

B. B. Haugen, the we'll known tenn
perance lecturer, and Messrs. Ager~
and Lunde, the state organizers of the
l. O. G. T., had narrow escape from
death last Monday while driving from
Herman to Donnelly. They we're
billed to speak in the church north
east of Donnelly in the afternoon and
had taxed livery rig from this place
in the morning and when they we're
about to cross the track at the CROSS
ing opposite Gus Johnson's farm the
eastbound passenger struck them and
killed both the horses. The men in
the buggy saved themselves by Jump
ing before the engine struck them.
Both horses were killed and the bug
gy demolished beyond repair. The
train stopped and took Haugen and
his party on to Donnelly from which
point livery rig was secured and
they drove out to keep their appoint
ment. It is "a mystery how any one
could get in the way Of a train at that
crossing as there is clear stretch Of
track in plain sight from both direc
lions. No blame is attached to the
train crew.-Grant County Review.

Given Verdict of ST. 500

A jury in the Wadena county tenn
OF court brought in a verdict for 81 800
in the personal injury damage case of
Henry Roulette against the Great
Northern. Roulette is young
Frenchmau who was a member of a
French Canadian excursion in July,
1900, from Minneapolis to Walker.
While enroute he fell off the train
near Walker and sustained a broken
leg and several fractured ribs. He ad :
mltted having been drinking at the
time. TheTcase will probably be ap-
pealed. Roulette sued for several
times the amount returned by the iurv.

MiilerS Meet in st, Cloud.

Messrs. Peter Hong aud w. j. Pin
ney, managers of the Willmar Milling
Company and New London Milling
Company respectively. were among
the millers in attendance at meeting
held in St. Cloud last week. The st.
Cloud Journal Press of Thursday
speaks of the meeting as follows:
Some twenty-f five of the merchant
millers of Central Minnesota are at
the Grand Central for the regular
monthly meeting of the club. Usually
the meetings are held at Minneapolis,
but there is reason for holding the
December meeting in this city. The
millers of S.. G oud, who have here.
tofore held aloof from membership in
the club, are credited with an inten-
ton of joining at the meeting which is
now in progress at Granite hall, IN
the Carter building on Seventh avenue
No. The club was organized NOR
than year ago and it's president il
D. M. Baldwin of Minneapolis and
Secretary M. r. D0nne]ly of the same
city. Its purpose is not to increase
prices of the mills output but to SAFE
guard the interests of its members
against ruinous competition and bad
debts. A flour war has been in exist
ence at Brainerd for several months
and will receive the attention of the
meeting today and it is hoped to end
it at this meeting. With the joining
of tho St. Cloud millers, those OF Lit
tie Falls will come into the club and it
is said that this will give the DEATH
blow TO the Brainerd cut.throat bust
ness. Aillers of Sank Centre, Elk
River, st. Augusta, Perham, Albany,
Willmar, Peinceton, Melrose, Royal
ton and in fact almost every mill in
the central part of the state is repre-
scented in the meeting. An evening
session will PROBABLY be held as the
meeting did not get down TO business
until nearly 4 O'Clock.

HOLIDAY SHOPPING
The Merry Christmas Season Is Here
and WilImsr Merchants Arc Gator.
ing to Gift Buyers.

One week from tomorrow and Christ
mas Day will be here. The season is
at hand for gift buying and our mer-
chants have made the usual prepara-
tions for accommodating the numer'
GUS customers who will throng the
different places of business, especially
during the week just preceding the
great holiday. Undoubtedly many
have already made their purchases Of
holiday gifts, or at least made their
selections. While this may be the
case, yet there are a great majority of
people who defer the little details so
essential to the holiday season until
the last moment, and only dealers in
holiday goods know what a big rush
that means. The wise and judicious
buyer will make early preparations
and buy at time when there is full
stock to select from and when the
dealers have more time to attend to
the wants of their customers. Will
mar merchants have this year an un-
usually fine line Of goods and there
are many novelties on display. Near
ly all the show windows in the city
contain displays of very attractive
nature aud are dressed in "a style for
the holidays which reflects consider
able credit on the window dressers
They are only sample OF what may
be seen on the inside, and we are sure
that If the gift seeker will make a tour
OF the city and visit all the business
houses they will find that there is not
a thing lacking this season in the line
of holiday goods. Our merchants
have made some splendid selections
and there is everything to delight both
the young and old.
The recent snow fall has made good
sleighing for the farmers and this
week The big rush begins for our mer-

The Saloon Lizard.

Naturalists tel of lizard found in
Arabian deserts which strikingly re-
sem5les the sand in color. On either
side of it's mouth is fold Of skin of
pale crimson hue These folds can be
blown out until they look like small
red flower common in the desert. In
sec5s in quest of honey seek this
hower-looking object and are INSTANT
~ destroyed.
The tactics Of the lizard and the sa-
loonist are much alike. The rumse Her
puts on splendid exterior. He
makes his den as attractive as pos
sible to both young and old. No
place is more brilliant than his.
Light, revelry, music-all are there.
"That's the place for a good time, -
says the young man. ''Life's honey
may be had there" says the old,
cheating himself with the same old lie
for the thousandth time. Too late
both discover that this seeming splen-
dor was but the fold on the lizard
mouth-a decoy leading to death and
destruction. Seeking the sweets Of
life, they get instead the exceeding
bitter gall of death. No man who
values his place and opportunity for
usefulness in the world will be en-
trapped by the saloon rd.-The:
Keystone Citizen in Minnesota Issue.

chants in waiting upon country buy
ers. With good weather and nee
sleighing there is every inc ication for
a very prosperous business. Out.of-
town people will find that Willmar
stores are stocked up with full lines in
all departments, and it will be greatly
to their advantage to come and visit
our city at their earliest opportunity.
We doubt if they will find any city Of
the size Of Willmar in the Northwest
that can show better class of goods
and such variety to select from, es-
pecially for the holiday season. The
TRIBUNE would call the attention of
it's many readers to the advertisements
found on its different pages and in
vie all to give them fair reading.
They will find many valuable hints
that will better enable them to decide
upon what to select before making
their tour about the city.
Merchants look smilingly upon the
growth of local trade, but say it would
be much better both for themselves and
their customers if Christmas shopping
were not put off until the last few
days, and the wearied clerks over
whelmed by the rush CT purch asers.
Although they have made prepar ations
to handle all the business that is de-
layed until the last moment, yet tn r..
is great deal of satisfaction in know
Jog that their patrons are endeavorirg
to make it more convenient for them
by buying early. The shopping that
is done so late in the season is dis
tinguished by a certain raspiness
caused by haste and anxiety to get
something done that ought to hare
been done several days earlier, aud
by more or less of the abandon which
recks not of small things so that the
buyer acquires respectable quantity
Of something that will meet the de-
mands of Christmas.
