4 suggestion for WilImsr.

Under the caption, "Our Opening
Market Day." the Redwood Gazette
has the following to say regarding the
establishment of monthly marketdays'
movement which that enterprising
city is just launching. AS the move.
ment Is similar to the one proposed
here, we re-publish the article for the
benefit of Willmar merchants, as it
contains suggestions that may be
helpful here:
Next Tuesday now promises to be q
somewhat notable day in Redwood
Falls. The commercial club already
has assurances that q large number
of people throughout the surrounding
country will accept their invitation to
cooperate with them in establishing q
monthly market day. II will be up to
the business men of this city to DEM
Onstrate to those who come, that it
will be profitable as we'll as pleasant
for them to come again, since this is
merely the first of what is proposed to
be series of monthly gatherings, for
the mutual benefit of the producer and
the dealer.
In addition to the ordinary avenues
OF trade, q special market will be es-
tablished at the corner of Second and
Mill streets. The vacant lot on the
northwest corner will be reserved for
stock and Whatever farmers may wish
to sell from their wagons or other
wise. and in the afternoon the services
OF an auctioneer will be given by the
city, without cost to those who wish
to offer stock or produce to the high
est bidder. TO enliven the stay of
those In the city, the band will play
on the streets and at the market place
during the day, and if there is de-
mand for program of sports at this
or future market days, it is the inten-
tion OF the management to meet the
demand.
Owners of livestock may depend on
getting the top of the market for what
ever they may bring to Redwood
Falls. One or two buyers from neigh
boring towns, as. we'll as our regular
local dealers, are expected to compete
for stock offered.

WERE FOUND NOT GUILTY
Esgle Lake Fishermen Acquitted ot
Charges Of illegal Fishing
One Trial by Jury.

The cases of Henry Berg and Henry
Olson, who were arrested on Friday,
the 18th inst, by Constable J. l..
Hanscom, on the charge OF illegal
fishing In Eagle Lake, we're tried be-
lore Judge Bitterness on Friday of last
week. Considerable interest had been
manifested in these cases, as the game
warren who made the arrest was con-
fdent that all appearances indicated
that the defendants we're guilty be.
yond doubt, while the fishermen
stoutly denied their innocence, and
this together with the fact that it was
the first case brought this season for
violation of the game laws attracted
unusual attention. Both were accused
of fishing with seine nets and it was
the contention of the game warden that
the nets and fish were found in their
possession. The evidence introduced
was insufficient to convict them, how
ever, as no proof could be established
that such net had been set.
The men were given separ ate trials,
Berg's case being heard in the fore
noon and Olson's in the afternoon.
Attorney George Muller appeared for
the defendants and Olson & Johnson
for the state. A trial by jury had
been demanded in the case of Henry
Olson and as a consequence more in
terest was attached locally. The FOL-
lowing Willmar business men were Sc
lected to decide the guilt or innocence
of the accused:
E. G. Wellin, A. E. Mossberg, j. P.
Madison, S. e. Stansberry, Lewis
Moline, G. P. Karwand, W. o. John
son, Swan Anderson, John Lundquist,
o. A. Jacobson, A. L. Nelson, O. r.
Berkness.
The trial took place at the Engine
house and the small court room was
easily filed. The jury returned a ver-
dict for acquittal after being out not
quite five minutes.
Game Warden Hanscom has his
''eagle eye' set for all violators of
the game laws this season and it be-
hooves the sportsman to ''look q
leedle oudt. -

nay Take HAND IN the Business

State Entomologist Washburn has
iss ued brief resume of the new law
passed by the legislature for the de-
struction of grasshoppers, q copy of
which has been received by the Tri-
bune. The law provides that the
board of county commissioners may
hear complaints against fields said to
be infested with grasshoppers' eggs.
Unless the complaint is accompanied
by q certificate OF the state entomolo-
gist, the commissioners shall refer the
matter to that official before taking
| any definite action. The person max
ing the complaint is also directed to
serve notice upon the owner or lessee
of the land, ten days prior to the meet
ing Of the commissioners, telling him
that he is going to make the com.
plant. Ifccnvinced after hearing the
complaint that the land is infested, the
commissioners may declare it q public
nuisance and order the field plowed.
If the owner or lessee OF the land re.
fuses to plow it, he may be prosecuted
for maintaining a public nuisance,
and the field shall be plowed at the ex
pense of the county. If the blowing Of
the field should be of value to the
owner, coming just before the season
for planting crops, the county has the
right to collect from him the cost OF
the plowing. The state entomologist
states that grasshoppers lay their eggs
usually in late summer and early fall,
and complaint of the pest is best made
at that time, rather than in spring, in
order to allow plenty of time to insure
the legal blowing of the infested pro.
perty.

An exchange says that it may sound
a little startling, but is said to be true,
that more young men are learning
trades in penitentiaries than out OF
them, because parents are trying to
make clerks, lawyers and even preach
era out of material intended for farm
ers. carpenters, blacksmiths and other
trades or mechanics. The trouble is
that boys are too eager to avoid the
labor of life and are too anxious to
follow a calling that does not soil
their hands.

: Run Over BY Motor Bicyele.

Little Ole Berg, the fve-year-old
SON. OF Albert Berg, who occupies
apartments over the Capitol Shoe
Company's store, was the victim of an
acc1deFt last Thursday in which he re-
ce1ved several scr stches, and. was
slightly bruised, but beyond this it is
hoped that it will not result in any
thing serious. The little fellow was
on the street crossing near his home,
when Lars Halvorson happened along
on his motor bicycle and according to
Mr.. Halvorson's story he playfully
ran In front of the wheel. A collision
was unavoidable, and before the wheel
was stopped the child had been
dragged for some distance. Accord
ing to Witnesses the distance was esti-
mated at all the way from 80 to 40
feet. The different accounts in re-
gard to the accident are rather con-
1ict1ng and it is most probable that
an opportunity will be given to air
the matter in court. It is stated that
the father of the boy has retained o.
son & johnson as attorneys in q civil
action to recover damages.
The affair has brought out much
comment, and there is not little pre-.
JUDGED feeling exhibited in regard to
the running Of some of these machines
on our city streets. 1t is to be hoped
that the affair in question will be
satisfactorily adjusted for all parties
concerned.

COL. LYNCn'S SENTENCE.

1t may be taken as a matter of course
that Colonel Lynch will not be executed.
In liberal countries high treason has,
by pretty general consent, ceased to be
a capital crime save where a soldier
vested with vital responsibilities, acts
the part of a Benedict Arnold. Treason
like that of Colonel Lynch was com
mon enough in the United States about
forty years ago, but not a man from
Jefferson Davis down, was legally ex-
ecuted for ii or even imprisoned for
more than a short time. The execution
of Captain Wirz was due to his murder
Gus treatment of northern prisoners at
Andersonville. The only case of execu-
ton for high treason known to the his
tory of the United States is that Of
John Brown, and his offence was not
committed against the general govern
ment but against Virginia.
Undoubtedly Lynch has received a
capital sentence with view of its
Communication to imprisonment for life.
1t will be difficult, under such circum-
holding that one communication of SEN
tence for such an offence is enough.
AS an example a living Lynch, immur-
ed in Jail for the rest of his allotted
days, or even for a ten or twenty year
term, would be even more effective than
a dead Lynch hanging at the end of
rope Death made a martyr of Robert
Emmett and his fate stirred rebellious
blood. But O'Donovan Rosa, popular
favorite as he was. served, in Kllmain-
ham jail. more as a deterrent example.
There was not so much fenianism in the
air after he and his compatriots had
worked in the chain gang for few
months. Probably there will be less
enthusiasm among Irish patriots to Join
England's enemies when they see Lynch
pounding stone.

PANAMA PROGRESS.

With the Panama treaty before the
Senate a long step has been taken to-
ward the Inauguration of actual work
on the Isthmian canal, which has been
the dream Of the Pacific Coast for so
many years. Under the provisions of
the Act of last year as soon as the
treaty is ratified the President may go
ahead and construct the canal.
There may be expected some OPPOSE
ton to the treaty. This will come in
the shape of the revival of the Nicara-
qua plan but the work of the Panama
people would appear to have been too
well done to permit of its being undone
at this stage. 1t has been a long fight,
carefully managed and we'll thought
out in its entirety and the elements of
strength In the American combina ton
which made the heavy purchase of
stock from the French are such that
failure hardly can be contemplated.
Looking at the matter from the
standpoint of Hawaii the signing of the
treaty means the contamination of our
hopes years sooner than If the Nicara-
qua route had been finally selected.
The progress already made with the
Panama Ditch shows its feasibility and
with the credit of the United States
behind the enterprise and the engineers
of our army in charge of the work that
1t will be completed in the shortest
possible time seems certain. At least
seven-leagued stride has been taken
and the outlook is all for activity. The
characteristics of the President insure
immediate inauguration of the work
and once 1t is under way there will be no
let up until some great battleship leads
