John T. Otos and bride arrived here
from Duluth yesterday, and are now
nicely located at the Otos residence,
corner of Second street and Litchnead
avenue. Mr.. Otos has been kept busy
receiving the congratulations of his
many friends. The Tribune joins with
them in wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Otos q
most happy union.
The bride is not stranger to Will
mar people as she was connected with
the Salvation Army work in this city
some years ago. OF late she has been
a very prominent and active worker
in the field in Duluth, and has a host
of friends in that city who regret to

Was Largely Attended.

The announcement by Rev. Hogg of
the M. E. church that he would hold q
jubilee service last Sunday evening
over the victory gained at the recent
election called out congregation that
taxed the seating capacity of the
church to it's utmost, and those pres

preached sermon in which he made
an appeal to the temperance people
who had so nobly won the victory
against license, to not give up the
fight for the right, but to keep the
battle waging, and to unite heartily
in their support of the administration
which they have chosen TO enforce the
laws of the city. The address was full
OF valuable suggestions and contained
much food for thought, especially to
the concientious Christians. The mu.
sical part of the service was also OF
an Inspiring order and q solo by
Mrs. Cairns was a feature that was
no less enjoyed than previous efforts
by this talented lady.

Miss Maria Sophia Elmquist, daugh-
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. John Elmquist,
was born on the very place, where she
died, Nov. 10, 1873. Naturally quiet
and upright her firm religious convic-
'ion made her an example, we'll worth
following for young people. She was
9 loving aud dutiful daughter and
sister, faithful friend and an exem-
plary church member. As member
of the Young Ladies society, she was
ever resdy to take hold Of any duty
and work, in supporting any good
cause. During her long illness she
never complained, though her suffer-
ings at times were very great, but was
ever anxious to calm and cousole her
parents and brother and sister by
these words: Goods will is always
good, let it be DONE"
was proven by the fact that her caskes
was totally covered with flowers, laid
there by loving hands, as we'll as by
the great concourse of people which
filed the church. May the Lord COM
fort those who are bereaved over her
untimely demise.
The funeral occurred Tuesday after
noon, Rev. Lindholm officiating. The
text for the pastors address was

cally all the carpenters in the city.
c. J. Freeberg, who has been one Of
the prime movers in bringing about
the organization, presided, with Anton

The organization was effected by the

John Wahlquist, state organizer,
will be here at an early date to install
the new officers.
The organization of this Union is
for the purpose of establishing better
feeling among the carpenters and
builders of the city, and has for its
object the social and financial better
ment of it's members. Members of the
local Union can enjoy many privileges
through the organization which here
tofore have been denied them. Chief
of these is the advantage of being able
to work at the trade in cities where
Unions exist and command the same
scale OF wages. The average wages
for carpenters in this city are now
81 SO per day. 1t is expected that an
established sched ule of wages will be
put into effect before long and an ef'
fort will also be made to secure q
working day of nine hours. Willmar

times and believe that in union there
