Of Interest to Parents.

Our attention has been called at Diff
ferent times to the danger which some
of the boys in the city are exposing
themselves to in hanging about the
railroad yards. The railroad officials
have called the attention of the city
authorities to the matter and sharp
lookout will be inaugurated for all
boys who are thus exposing them
selves to the danger of accidents
which may cost them their lives or re.
suit in Gripping them for the rest OF
their days. This paper has called
the attention of parents to the matter
before and as it is very serious af-
fair it is deemed advisable to again
bring it up before are public. It may
not be known by the parents that
children are often found loafing about
the depot when they ought to be at
tending school, and the practice has
become so frequent that it is becom-
ing quite a nuisance. The police are
doing what they can to suppress the
evil, but it is not the easiest matter in
the world to discriminate between
those who have and who have not a
right to be there, especially when it is
train time and when there are large
crowds at the station. The complaint
is made that boys are even causing
disturbances in the depot, much to
the annoyance of the travelling public,
and conditions may so assume them.
selves that there will be q general de.
barring there of all boys if things 90
on as they have been.
The police report that boys are of.
ten found sneaking rides on the box
cars while they are being switched in
the yards and even passenger trains
are boarded. The railroad officials
will work in conjunction with the pc.
lice and threaten to make arrests il
the practice is not stopped.
Parents should see to it before it is
too late, as some day the mangled re-
mains of their sons may be brought
home as a sad reminder of what may
perhaps be neg ligence on their part in
giving the proper advice.
Upon the arrival of the evening
coast train and even later trains there
are some OF our young people not YET
in their teens who flock to the depot,
who seem to forget that a curfew ordi'
nance requires that they be at their
homes at those hours.

SaloonkeeperS Close In.

kerkhcven voted no license this
year, but it happened that two of the
saloons did not close as expected and
when asked to explain, showed their
license which did not expire until
sometime next fall. One of them,
however, decided to close when the
council offered to refund part of his
license money, but the other one re-
fused to comply with the demands.
After securing legal advice the ,coun-
oil had him arrested and fined $50.
This evidently convinced him that he
was In the wrong and he proceeded to

APPARENTLY A BAD Joint
Ike Emerson In Justice Court on Two
charges-A Son Also Guilty Of
illegal Liquor Selling.

Isaac Emerson's Benson avenue re-
sort may be a Temperance" saloon
in name but the justice court finds this
to be only misnomer.
Last Thursday, after all his previ-
Gus unpleasant experience with the
arms of the law, Ike was again ar
raigned before Judge Bitterness on
charges of illegal liquor selling. A
charge brought against him by the
city for violating the city ordinance
resulted in his conviction and the
Judge gave him a fine of S75 and costs
or so days in jail. He was committed
and the next morning an appeal bond
of $3.50 was furnished for his appear
ance in district court.
The second arraignment was
brought about by the state and he was
found guilty of this charge also. EN-.
erson was released upon furnishing
bonds to the amount of 5000 and this
case will also be settled in district
court.
Hans Johnson and John Quandahl
are the men who furnished the neces-
sary bonds in both cases.
Worthington Emerson, q minor SOC
aged seventeen years, was arrested
the same day on the same charge.
The young man had been employed in
his fathers resort. He was found
guilty by the court and fine imposed
upon him of $50 and costs or 40 days
in Jail. He is at present serving time.
The complaint in all three cases was
furnished by August V. Johnson, late
of North Dakota, who had been in the
city but few days and had secured
refreshments a. the Benson avenue
"blind piggery."

To Regulate School Teachers.

A new way of preventing school
teachers from breaking contracts in
discriminatory is provided for in a bill
introduced by senator ). T. Schain OF
Browns Valley. The bill makes it a
misdemeanor for q school board to
make contract with teacher who
has an untitled contract with another
board. Any member OF the board vot-
ing to award contract to such a
teacher is made liable to q fine of from
S25 to 800. The teacher, the bill pro.
vides, shall be disqualified to teach
for year. Senator Schain intro.
duced the measure to take the place Of
one by Senator Charles Johnson OF
St. Peter, prohibiting teachers from
breaking contracts, which failed tc
pass. Senator Schain says that q
teacher will not break contract il

FOR A MONTHLY FAIR DAY
A Proposition Being Set in Motion to
Establish Saturday Of Every
Month for Mutual Benefit.

A movement has been inaugurated
in the city having for its object the es.
Establishment of regular monthly fair
and auction day in which all farmers
in the county as we'll as citizens OF
Willmar having goods to buy or sell
can get together for their mutual in
terest. The proposition is looked up
on by those who have taken sufficient
interest in it to be one productive Of
very good results, and all the mer-
chants in the city will doubtless enter
into the movement. The prime movers
are John B. Boyd of the mercantile
firm of Boyd, Crawford & Co., and S.
E. Stansberry, of the Stansberry I'm
plement Company.
The plan is to bring farmers to-
gether from all parts of the county
and give them an opportunity to dis
pose Of live stock or anything they
may care to sell at public auction.
The same opportunity is to be extern
ded to others who may wish to sell
property, all of whom are expected to
list the same sometime in advance.
By coming together from all parts
of the county once month it is ex-
pected that many advantages will pre-.
sent themselves. Merchants will give
inducements to out. of-town people to
make it an object to visit Willmar
and such state of affairs will be es-
tablished as will make the events both
profitable and agreeable for all con.
cerned. By all means let US give the
project all encouragement possible
and arrange for holding the first fair
the latter part OF May. : 1t has been
suggested that the last Saturday in
every month be chosen for the event.
Many of the old settlers here car
we'll remember the early days Of Will.
mar when it was customary to hold q
monthly fair day and how the streets
were crowded on those Saturdays.
Farmers brought in live stock, gar.
den produce and products of all kinds
to sell on the streets and established g
very good market for their goods.
OF course conditions have changed
since then, but the necessary arrange.
ments to suit present conditions could
easily be made and it is now up to
the merchants to further the plan to a
successful finish. The plan is not q
new one in many other places, where
it has been found TO be very success
full. Let the country folks have 9
common meeting place at least once 8
month where entertainment can also
be provided for them and social re-
lations established as we'll as those O
business. There is no better place TO,
this than the county seat. c.. : :*' >s1-

1Our tlmeS DeIOre MS traln pulled out,
but no one saw him board any other
train. After couple of days the detec-
hves were set to work, but they never
got the slightest trace of the missing
man. Had he vanished into air like
smoke his disappearance could not have
been more mysterious.
Was Hopkins an embezzler? No.
On the contrary, the railroad company
was in his debt. Had he left his wife
for another woman? That theory was
worked on, but produced no proof. Was
he "on'' in his head? All those who
had done business with him that day
secuted the idea. He had about 5000
In the bank at home and not over s. or
81 with him. He was a man without
an enemy. Nobody could find the slight
est reason why he should plan to dis
appear, and nobody could see how he
could be decoyed away and disposed of.
Ii After months of investigation it was
generally concluded that Hopkins be-
came suddenly insane and started OF
into the country, but IL so how was it
possible for him to conceal his identity !?
Even the farmers for q score Of miles
around had his description and would
have spotted him in an instant. ss sss2
