Tried for Dtsordsrly Conduct.

A play in which Ole Fixen and Joe
Greenleaf were the principal charact.
ers came to an end yesterday FORE
noon in Justice of the Peace Bitterness
Office. Peter Bonde, tie chief OF po-
lice, brought the charge, Joe Green
leaf being the complaining witness.
The charge preferred was disorderly
conduct on the streets of Willmar, the
gentlemen named having had row
outside of Presses livery barn, right
in the street. Mr.. Greenleaf had
some marks on his face, placed there
by the hands of Ole Fixen. When
asked by the judge to plead to the
charge Fixen said he wanted Witnesses
but after a while he consented to plead
and said "Not guilty of the charge"
City Attorney Olson then asked him
if he had placed those marks on Green
leaf and if so, when it was done.
Fixen then admitted that he had given
the complaining witness the marks
and that the fight took place on the
street, thereby of course admitting
that he was guilty of the charge pre-
ferred. Judge Bitterness sentenced
him to pay fine of s25 and costs,
total of s28, or upon failing to pay
such fine, to be put to work in the
streets of Willmar for the period of
thirty days, or upon refusing to do
such work to be placed in the village
jail until fine was paid, not however,
to exceed period of 30 days, Fixen
appealed to district court, but after
while changed his mind and paid
the fine imposed.

INSTITUTE. FOR TEACHERS
kandiyohi' County Instructors Arc Urged
to Attend the Coming Institute to
be Held In WilImar.

ksndiyohi' County Instructors Arc Urged
to Attend the Coming Institute to
be Held In M,iIImsr.
We would again remind the teachers !.
of Kandiyohi county of the Institute
to be held at Willmar Seminary, be-
ginning September IA and continuing
for one week. :,
We are fortunate in securing DR.. P.
G. Colgrove of the St. Cloud Normal,
and Mrs. E. K. Jacques, assistant edi-
tor of School Education, as conduct
ors of the Institute. The work taken
up will be along practical lines, such,
as methods in the common branches,
in library work, industrial work, agri-
culture, etc. The week will be spent
in giving teachers helpful suggestions
in building up and strengthening the
rural schools in those branches in
which they are weak. The time will
not be spent in the study of the vari-
Gus branches, but in methods of in
struction in them. Every teacher in
the rural and semi-graded schools of
the county who can possibly attend,
should be present. If your school is
in session, ask the trustees to close it,
for q week, and you will 60 back to
your work with renewed energy and
better fitted to promote the interests
of your school. Don't fail to be pres
ent every day. Those who secure
certificates of perfect attendance will
be excused from the professional test;
at the next examination. Your pres.
ence at this Institute will also add
much strength to the county superin-~
tendent's recommend alton whenever
you wish your certificate renewed.
At the close of the Institute, Satur--
day, Sep. 10, there will be joint
meeting of the teachers and Boards of
Education of Kandiyohi county.
Every progressive teacher is expected
to be present at this meeting. And
we hope to see at least one represen-
tative from every Board of Education
in the county. The programme is not
complete yet but we know that Hon.
J. w. Olson, state superintendent of
public instruction; Geo. G. Borchardt,
superintendent of Lac qui Parle Co.,;
Judge Bitterness, president of Board
of Education of Willmar; Supt. Ton
ming of the Willmar public schools,
and the Institute instructors will take
an active part, and thus insure an ex-
cellent program and q very helpful
day to all. A large portion of the
afternoon session will be given to mat
tiers OF especial interest to school
boards. Teachers and school trustees,
don't fail to do your duty to the
schools of the county, and to your
selves by neglectipg to be present at
this meeting Saturday, Sept 10. The
forenoon session will begin promptly
AZ 1890 and the afternoon at 1:3O.

DIED-At the home of his parents in
town of Fahlun, Friday, Sept. 4, John
Theodore Trulson.
John had always been in robust
health until stricken down with ty-
phoid fever in June. Everything that
medical skill and aid and efficient care
could do was done for him but all in
vain, and after eleven long weeks of
suffering he passed peacefully away.
He was the youngest child of Mr..
and Mrs. Nels Trulson, and was q
loving son and brother, kind and
true friend, and a very bright and
Woodworking lad, SO it is needless to
say how much he will be missed.
His untimely~ death is a very sad
blow to his parents and the family,
for he was their JOY and pride. He
had many abilities and undoubtedly
possessed bright future, but Death,
who cares not for age nor opportunity,
came and nipped the rose when just
in bloom. It is indeed a sad thing
when the young must die, when all the
hopes, ambitious and attractions are
before them, as in this case, but still
he had no fears of death, but patiently
awaited the time to come when he
could leave this world for better one.
Deceased was born on the old home
stead Aug. Is, 1886 and was thus at
at time of death II years and II days
old. He is mourned by aged parents,
five sisters, Selma and Mesdames
Lindblad, Erickson, Mortenson and
Soderberg, three brothers. Alfred, Ed
ward and Otto, besides large number
OF relatives and friends.
The funeral occurred last Sunday
afternoon from the residence. A
beautiful and impressive sermon was
rendered by Rev. Osterholm of Will
mar. The floral tributes were many
and beautiful, the casket being entirely
loaded down with flowers, the Offer
ings of his many friends. After the
services the remains were taken to the
Mission Friends Cemetery where they
were laid away until the call OF his
beloved Savior.
Peaceful be his lowlv grave,
Peaceful be his slumber;
He no more our sorrow knows,
He no more will join our number.
Yet again we hope to meet him
In fairer better land;
Where we never more shall sever,
But forer go hand in hand.
A FRIEND.

FOR ARTESIAN WELLS.

Through the efforts of our con
gressional delegation at Wash,
lngton considerable interest has
been taken in putting down
artesian wells in South Dakota.
In discuss rig this subject a
Washington dispatch of Feb'y
u says:
The subject of Irrigation en-
terprlses in South Dakota is at
tractng considerable attention
Just now in and out of congress.
Today representatives Burke
and Martin, accompanied by Col
John II. King of South Dakota,
TO the geological survey bureau
and a general discussion was
mad with the director Of putting
uown artesian wells between the
Jim river and the Missouri for
.ne purpose OF supplying adj:
eieional water to the lake beds in
'nat part OF the state. 1t is
''almed that that portion of the
STATE grows regularly good
crops, but that the hot winds of
me middle summer often burn
!. destroy the crops. 1t is be-
ueSed that the creation of large
deas OF water surface will in
crease the humidity of that Sec
'ion' temper the hot winds, and
MAKE the raising of cereal crops
much more certain.
Dr. Newell, the chief OF the
survey, has stated that a survey
ing force will be placed in South
Dakota early in the summer to
investigate the various enter
'rises proposed. There is al
ready 100000 to the credit of

Estate LEGISLATUREs
Observation-Disclosures

About the only thing that has
livened up the legislative session
is the insurance legislation. A
valued policy bill passed the
House with a whoop over a
strong insurance lobby. In the
senate, however, it is closer, and
efforts will be made there to
check it, The insurance compa-
MES are opposing any legisla-
tior,, OF course, because South
Dakota is a fat field for them.
This bill requires the full pay
ment OF the policy in case ofloss,
in stead of the customary seal
ing down. 1t is advocated by
Insurance Commissioner Shober
in the interest of the people, and
should become alaw.
