American ideal Of democratic simple

One day German nobleman who had
seen service in the fatherland appeared
at the White House as an applicant

young fellow for his personal bearing

luck. the foreign sprig began to impress

The Board of Trustees of the Will
mar Seminary are in receipt of q let
ter from Prof. G. Holmquist, principal
of the New London schools, in which
he states that he has decided not to
accept the position rendered him some
time ago as q member of the faculty
OF the Seminary for the coming school
year. This action was taken by Mr..
Holmquist after having the matter un-
der careful consideration. 1t is to be
regretted that his services cannot be
secured here, as he would make q val

probable that at the meeting of the
Central Minnesota Luther College
Club, to be held in Benson Thursd az
evening, a conference of the trustees
may be had and that soma availa BILE

ITALIAN CONSUL
AT FAIRMONT
Italian Government Establishes
West Virginia Headquarters.
Consul Marianl VIII be Located In
That City.

Humbert, of Italy, has discovered
that Fairmont is the center of the
whole area, and has selected this'city
as the headquarters for this govern
ment in West Virginia. Some time
ago the Italian government began to
recognize that the presence of a repre-
sentative in this state was, If not alb
solutely necessary, at least very desir.
able, and an Italian official was sent
here to look over the field and report
to his King. He came and took in the
situation and went away. No one
knew OF the presence of the official, as
he went about his business without
the blowing of horns.
His report was to the effect that
West Virginia had grown too great to
be looked after by the Pittsburg and
Richmond consulates and that an in
dependent one ought to be establish
ed. The official visited Clarksburg,
Wheeling, Parkershurg and other
towns of the state, but when he came
to Fairmont and saw the Importance
of this city and the district of which
it is the logical center, he recommend
ed that the consulate for West vir-
ginia be established here.
Steps were Immediately taken look
ing to this end, and yesterday Mr..
John w. Mariani, the recently ap-
pointed consul, arrived. Mr.. Mariani
is graduate of the Yale law school,
of the class of 'o1, and also graduate
of the University of Naples, his home.
He came to America in 1895 and spent
three years in the study of the English
Language. Then he entered Yale
