occurred the death of Mrs. Annie Ma

son, who are among the early resi-
dents of the city, having resided in
Willmar for the past % years. De-
ceased was Y years of age. She had
been an invalid for some time aud was
a sufferer from complication of d.
seases, which originated in lung fever.
Her system had also been consider.
ably weakened by rheumatism, and at
her advanced age it was hard to with
stand these attacks. She was confined
10 her bed about eight days.
The funeral took place from the resi-.
dence at 2:3o p. m. on Monday, and a
large number of relatives and friends
paid their last respects to the deceased.

Seminary Prospects Good.

The 1902 catalogue for the Willmar
Seminary is now in thehands of prin-
ter. The prospects for another year
equally as successful as the one just
closing are very good. We under
stand that a new department-type
writing and stenography-will be ad-
ded and the services of lady instruc-
tor will probably be engaged for this
work. This will be the only change
aside from the present corps of in
structors. The attendance during the
present spring term has been very
satisfactory, the enrolment of students
being about 80. This is the best on
record with the exception of last year,
when the enrolment for the spring
term exceeded this by only five. This
is the season of the year when the At
tendance is always the lightest, many
of the country students being obliged
to resume farm work.

West Lake.

May 6.-West Lake has q Free
Travelling Library. The librarian, in
an interview, said that he has almost
decided not to order new set of
books for the summer month, because
so few make use of the books. Some
people do not seem to know that the
books are here and others seem to
think that the books are worthless
set, and that the state has dumped off
a lot here just to get rid of them!
Now, If this is the way you have been
feeling, just cali on Mr.. Iverson for
a catalogue and you will be surprised
to learn what q feast is waiting for
you. OF all the many privileges of
our times there Is none for which we
ought to be more thankful than for
the easy access we have to books.
Books are the great teachers of the
common people. Not only to those
who are bright and scholarly but those
who are slow, those who are solid,
to those whose who are full OF life and
energy, as we'll as those who are Sc
date, to those who are bashful, as we'll
as those who are forward. They are
always ''at hand" They conceal
nothing; refuse nothing; They are
never troubles ONE, but will answer
every question you may ask of
them at once. If you are ig-
norant they will not laugh at you.

FOR A PUBLIC LIBRARY.
wl'lmar' Can Nave Good One at Very
TriflinR Cost.


The Educational Extension Library
now being established in Willmar is
move in the right direction and
should receive the hearty cooperation
of all our citizens. The plan is not
only unique but exceptionally liberal,
within the reach of all, and presents
an opportunity for a wide scope of
reading from the worlds greatest
authors.
Geo. w. Johnson, first door north
of post Office, will act as the librarian,
and part of the hooks which will
constitute this library are now on ex-
hibition at the TRIBUNE Office, where
the public may call and examine them.
The selection as librarian is a guar
antee that the interests of all con-
cerned will be carefully guarded, and
his we'll known place of business is
)one where all are assured of courteous
treatment.
The average expense of less than
WV SOAoS kSA VVOn AOA u0O W OIL UAOSO
books is so small as not to prevent
those of most limited means from en-
joying its benefits, and to those who
cannot afford as large q private Ii
brary it presents an exceptional op-
portunity. The subject matter of the
library covers wide range of litera-
ture, such as Fiction, Science, Art,
Biography, History, Travel and Ex-
ploration, Humor, Poetry, and Social
and Political Questions. The selection
of Fiction is especially good in that
all OF the cheap, trashy publications
of this character have been eliminated
to make room for that of higher
plane, broad and helpful in it's nature
and of most recent publication.
So far as we are able to judge the
class of matter entering into this IL
brary is of high order, and we
strongly urge that all take advantage
of the extremely liberal terms by which
membership may be procured. Also
that it be done Immediately, as the
opportunity will extend but one week.
Farmers living in close proximity to
the city should not let this privilege
60 by default. For two dollars one
can secure the use of hundreds of
books for two years without any fur
ther cost of any kind or nature and
thus obviating the necessity of pur-
chasing many books. This is practi-
cal economy.

Death Of willie berr,

Yesterday noon there were brought
to this city for interment the remains
OF Willie c. Berg, son of John Berg,
we'll known here as one of the early
residents of Willmar, but now located
at Aurora, Ill. The death of this
young man is particularly sad af-
fair, and Willmar friends of the fami-
ly join in extending heartfelt SYM
pathy. He had attained the age of 10
years when the Angel of Death claimed
him as his own. Death resulted from
surgical operation performed in the
city hospital at Aurora. He had been
patient sufferer from obstruction of
the bowels for three weeks, when as a
last resort it was found necessary to
perform the operation in the hope of
obtaining relief. The end came the
second day, Saturday, May 8, at 2:45
p. m. The main cause of death was
found to be tuberculosis.
Deceased was employed as cashier
for the Adams Express Co. and was a
favorite among large circle of
friends.
Accompanying the remains were the
father, mother and one brother, Har-
ry M. Berg. Other relatives who ar
rived here for the funeral were an
other brother, Albert Berg, and wife,
a sister, Miss Elma Berg, and Mrs.
c. M. Iverslie, all of Belgrade; Rev.
and Mrs. N. A. Stubkjaer, of Lake
Preston, S. D.
The funeral services were held this
morning at 10 o'clock, at the Lutheran
Synod church, Rev. o. Estrem ofticiat-
ing, and the interment was in the ceme-
terry adjoining, where the remains
were laid at rest beside other men,
bers of the family.

state hospital states that John Nelson,
who was sent from Willmar some

Buys Lutheran Synod Property.

A deal was closed last Saturday
whereby E. Patchell of this city be-
comes the owner of the Lutheran Syn
cd property occupied for so many years
by Rev. Estrem and family. The con-
sideration was $4,000. The property
comprises the parsonage and p acres
of land and is very prettily located
just east of the city. The dealinvolved
the transferring of Mr.. Patchell's
Willmar property to Mr.. M. o. Thorpe.
Mr.. Patchell expects to take posses
sion of the property on June "A, and

a Commercial Club.

A movement to organize q CONNER
cial club in the city of Willmar has
met with successful reception. A
few gentlemen including Messrs. Weir,
Jones, and Russell Spicer, circulated q
list to secure the signatures of those
who might be willing to join such an
organization and readily secured the
names of some ninty of the citizens.
A preliminary meeting of the signers
was held last Friday evening at the
Opera House. Mr.. Weir was chosen
chairman and D. N. Tallman secre-
tary. Several gentlemen when called
on, for remarks responded briefly. A
Mr.. Darling: member of the Mime
apolis commercial club, was present
and when called on for remarks, he
enumerated a number of things which
commercial club might accomplish
for the city. A committee was ap-
pointed to draft a constitution for the
proposed club, which will then be
taken up by the members, discussed
and adopted or amended section by
section at a meeting to be called when
the committee is ready to report,
which will probably be within two
weeks or ten days. The committee is
composed of Messrs. Alton Crosby,
Russell Spicer, Weir, Tallman, Kill
gore, S. E. Stansberry and J. G..
Jones. The benefit to the city of a
properly conducted commercial club
would be manifold. This is apparent
at once when one understands that it
will furnish common ground where
business men may meet and discuss
the commercial needs of the city.
Petty business jealousies, differences
in crud and politics which are so apt
to divide the citizens of a city even
when some project for the advance
ment of common interests is consid-
cred, will vanish in the social contact
and neutral air of a properly consti.
tuted commercial club.
