Another Fine Building for Willm.r.

The new Bonde building which will
be an annex to the Bonde Block, will
when completed be one of the neatest
as we'll as one of the most conveniently
arranged store buildings IN the city.
The contract for construction was
awarded some time ago to Olson &
Skoolheim and the gentlemen will
rush the work for its completion so
that it can be occupied the coming
fall. The excavating was commenced
this week.
This additional building is made
necessary on account of the increased
demand for more space by the general
merchandise firm of Johnson, Moline
& Co., and Mr.. Bonde will provide
room that will be entirely adequate
for all their wants.
The plans call for building 25x65
on the ground floor and 35x65 on the
top floor. There is to be an allow
ance for a driveway about ten feet
wide between the new and old build
ing and the two will be connected
overhead. At each end of this drive
way there will be rolling doors for
enclosing the same. The exterior of
the new building will be the same as
the old. The lower floor will be used
for groceries and crockery. About
25x50 feet space will be reserved on
the second floor for dry goods and
clothing while the other part will be
divided IF into suite of three rooms
for private use, and will front the
south. The interior arrangement of
the whole will be of q style quite
similar to that of the large department.
stores. In the center there will be sort
OF balcony for displaying goods and
this will be so built as to afford every
opportunity for fine showing
Entrances will be provided for also
or the ground floor and the building
will have frontage on the south.
Large plate glass windows will give
1t an attractive appearance on Litch-
field avenue. The total cost when
complete will be in the neighborhood
of $4,000.
The Westberg building, which is
north of the new building, will be
extended we understand, so that it
will join and make one solid building
running through the block.

CROP PROSPECTS
chInch Bugs Doing Great Damage In
Certain SectIons-Rust Reduces
Crop Prospects.

Harvest will probably begin the lat
ter part of this week or the first part
of next. The outlook for good crop
is unfortunately not as good as it was
few weeks ago. The constant rains
and occasional bot mornings have
caused rust to appear on the wheat.
We have before us a bunch of wheat
heads affected by rust. AS most peo-
pie will perhaps know, this rust ar
rests the development of the kernel in
the upper part of the head, and if it
comes early there will be from one
third to one-half of the head that has
no kernels at all or else they are too
small to make anything but screen.
ings. In the samples brought in by a
farmer about one. third of each head
has no kernel whatever, and some of
the other kernels are sh~unken. This
condition is worst on lowlands, but
some affected heads can be found in
every part of q field even where the
land is high.
From the eastern part of the county,
from Atwater north through Harrison
and Irving and neighboring localities
in Meeker county come reports of SER
ious damage done by chinch bugs.
One farmer told US last Saturday he
would begin cutting his grain i'm
mediatelv. but he thOupht it would be
worth nothing except for feed. Others
say it will not be quite as bad as that,
but that the yield will be greatly re-
duced in every field infested by the
pests.
Barley has been harvested, and the
crop is generally reported good. Corn
is doing very we'll and promises an
unusually good crop.

John Ekandar Iii. .

A telephone message was received
here last Thursday evening to the ef-
feet that John Ekander was danger
ously i'll at Minneapolis with typhoid
fever, and it was feared for q time
that he would not recover Later
messages, however. were to the effect
that there was change in the condi
tion of the patient for the better and
the fears of his parents and relatives
in the city were considerably allayed.
A letter was received yesterday stat
ing that he was much improved, which
is good news to his many Willmar
friends.
John returned to Minneapolis only
last Wednesday from a visit at his
Willmar home, and was taken i'll the
same evening. He had. b9en suffer ng
from a severe headache before taking
his departure, but nothing further
was thought of it until it developed
into fever and the news of his sudden
illness came here as a great surprise.

THEY CAME TO WlLLMAR
EIoping Couple Cross Country from
storms county-Man Employed as
Track laborer.


Peter Cremers, who eloped on June
II from his home in the town of Krain
with Miss Lizzie Rosen, leaving a
loving wife at home, has returned to
his legal life partner. He is penitent
and shed tears, according to reports
from Krain. The wife has forgiven
him, for it is said she has all along
blamed the girl for stealing her hus-
band and was willing to forgive the
man If be would only return to her.
Miss Rosen, who left q happy home
to share the lot offered her by Gre.
mers, is in St. Cloud stopping with
friends. She does not know that Cfe-
mers has returned to his wife but
thinks he has gone to Minneapolis
and she had planned to join him
there.
Miss Rosen came to St. Cloud late
Monday afternoon from Richmond,
where she had parted company with
Cremers Monday. She was inter-
viewed by Sheriff Bernick at the sta
tion, he having had tip that both
the elopers were on the train. She
did not seem to have any regrets for
the part she had taken in the drama
of domestic affairs, and was confident
that Cremers had only left her tenn
porarily while he was finding new
home for them. A report received in
the city from Krain says that Cremers
has returned to his wife and home,
anxious to be forgiven and to be rein
stated in his wife's affections.
- The couple left Krain with team
and buggy Sunday, June 2l, and it
was thought they had gone to North
Dakota. 1t now appears, however,
that they went across country to Will
mar, where Cremers found employ
ment as track laborer for the Great
Northern. He lived under the name
of Pete Rose and Miss Rosen passed
as his wife. He has traded the team
with which he went away and has S108
of the sum of money which ne bor-
rowed from the Bank of Albany on
his stock just before leaving. They
drove to Richmond Saturday, staying
at hotel there Saturday night, and
Sunday Cremers cut across the cum
try for his home in Krain town, tell
ing the girl he was going to Minneap.

to St. Cloud on an afternoon train
Monday, expecting to go to Minneap-
oils later to join him
A warrant had been issued on COM
plant of Mrs. Cremers for the appre-

ture. This reward was later with
drawn and it is not now considered

1T WAS David PALLADO
Man known In Willmar Proved to be
the Same Who Suffered Stroke Of
Paralysis at Fargo, n. D.

81 - 8OS ~
News was received here recently
through Axel Jacob bson, superintend-
ent of the Indian School at Witten-
berg, Wis.,, to the effect that David :
Pallado died the latter part of June
at q Minneapolis hospital. Pallado
was the man whose Whereabouts
caused considerable anxiety among
relatives and friends, mention of
which was made in the TRIBUNE of
May 80. It had been stated in a dis
patch from Fargo to the Minneapolis
papers of May 16 that one David
Paladue was found in the N. P. yards
there in a!crittcal condition, suffering
from stroke of paralysis, and fur
ther, that he had been sent to Will
mar, where, according to his state
ment, he had relatives. The David
Pallado who was known in this city
had no relatives here, but that may
have been mistake in the dispatch,
for he had several old acquaintances
at this point, aud was q former
schoolmate of Mrs. Anton K. Omlie
at the school in Wittenberg, Wis.
The statement that he had been sent
to Willmar prompted his Wisconsin
relatives to make inquiries here
through letter addressed to Senator
Thorpe, written by Supt. Jacobson of
the Jo7ian school. All inquiries in
Willmar failed to locate such a per-
son, and as it was not known that
Pallado was in Fargo, it was thought
by his friends here that it must be,
some other party, so no further tnves-
tigation was made and the matter was
dropped. 1t developed later, how
ever, that Pallado had been employed
in railroad work at Fargo and was
the same person mentioned in the dis
patch. he had been sent to q Minne-
apolis hospital instead of to Willmar.
The late news of his death will be re-
ceived here with regret by his Will
mar friends.
Pallado was q quarter-blood In.
dian, and had secured good educa-
tion at the Wisconsin school. Pos
sessed of good character and being
a bright young man he easily made
his way in tbs world. He was at one
time connected with the school there
as an instructor, and, according to
his statement, at the time of resiging
his position he was released with the
understanding that it was open to him
at any time that he wished to return.
This was about three years ago. He
left for the Pacific coast, stopping off
at Willmar to visit with his old
schoolmate, Mrs. Anton K. Omlie,
and at the time made several acquaint-
ances both in Willmar and vicinity.
He spent several weeks here. After
leaving here nothing more was heard
of him by either relatives or friends
and his failure TO communicate with
them was regarded as being very
peculiar. Nothing had been heard of
him until he was taken to the hospital
at Minneapolis as q result of the
psralytic stroke.
Pallado was about Is years of age.
He has q brother in the employ of a
lumber mill company at Wittenberg,
Wis.
