tended to several matters regarding
the city schools. A number of appli-

was deferred until another meeting.

of the Fifth grade in the Central build

election. It is understood that Miss
Scally will be a member of the St..
Cloud faculty next year.
The matter of making some improve
ments on the grounds of the Lafayette,
Lincoln and Garfield buildings was
taken up, and will result in the beau
tifying of the premises to a commend.
able degree. Trees will be planted on
the Lincoln and Garfield school
grounds.

New Time Gard.

A new time card which becomes ef-
fective tomorrow morning will make a
slight change in the train service at
this point. The Puget Sound Express,
which at present arrives here at in
the evening, will arrive half an hour
later hereafter. No. 4, known as the
Eastern Express, is due here five
minutes earlier than formerly, arriv-
ing at 20. The night passenger on
the main line, bound for Winnipeg,
arrives from St. Paul ten minutes
earlier. Going to St. Paul it arrives
here five minutes earlier. The same
length of stops are made as formerly.
These are the only changes in the time
of trains at the Willmar station.
An important change, and one which
will be gladly welcomed by travellers
on the Willmar & Sioux Falls line,
will be the return to the old service of
stopping the night trains at all points
between here and Sioux City. These
trains are known as Nos. IL and AZ.
No. 9, the night train bound for Win
nipeg, will make regular stops at Ben
son, Morris, Donnelly, Herman, Tin

Rose Rotires from Business.

Messrs. J. II. Parsons and O. N.
Bengtson, who are we'll known in this
city, have leased the meat market of
Frank Rose on Third street for one
year and will take charge of the bust
ness on Monday. Mr.. Rose retires
from business in Willmar for time
to enter the employ of the live stock
commission house of Friend, Crosby
& Co., of South St. Paul at very
good salary. This house recognizes
in Mr.. Rose an excellent buyer of
cattle and his many years experience
in the dealing in live stock will be of
much advantage to him in doing bust
ness for the firm. He has been in
business in Willmar for the past "a
years. Mr.. Rose goes from here to
Winnipeg to look up the cattle busl-
ness in that country.
The young men who will succeed
Mr.. Rose in the business will no
doubt enjoy liberal patronage. We
understand that F. w. Strecker will
be the cattle buyer for the new firm.

At meeting of the temperance or

to make the union of the different ele-

pointed to make draft for a consti-
tuition and bylaws to be submitted at
the next meeting of the federation to
be held on Friday evening, May /,
when the same will be adopted or
amended as desired by the organiza-

The forces that stand for civic right
eousness in our city will be invincible

mined front. The federation will be a
means to this end, and the influence
that it may be able to exert in city af-
fairs will be of great benefit to the

scientific production of Uncle Toms
Cabin comes to the Opera House on
Wednesday, April %. This produc-
tion will be the best seen here. Spec
ial attention has been paid to the stag
ing of the piece and several scenic ef-
fects are magnificent.
Thrilling floating ice scene on the
Ohio river, the St. Clare's plantation,
the house and garden by moonlight,
the cotton fields beyond and the superb
transformation scene at the end of the
last act is one of the greatest.
One of the largest organizations Of
white and colored artists ever gathered
together in one combinations, have
beer engaged by Mr.. Leon w. Wash

whom are selected for his or her adapt
ability for the part assigned. A troupe

high class specialties. Col. Sawyer's
prize pack of Siberian Bloodhounds,
a lot of beautiful Shetland ponies,
trick donkeys, etc. are also with this
great combination. The street parade
has two bands of music, a number OF
gorgeous chariots, tableau wagons
and little carriages, built at large
outlay of money, making this the
finest street pageant ever given by any
similar organization.

Arbor Day.

Gov. Van SAINT has issued his pro-
clamation designating May 1 as Arbor
and Bird day. The proclamation
reads as follows:
SIN compliance with law and GUS
tom Thereby designate May l, 1903, as
Arbor and Bird day, and earnestly
recommend that upon said day suit
able exercises be held in all the schools
throughout the state with q view to
arousing the full appreciation of the
usefulness of our song birds and the
beauty and utility of trees, shrubs and
vines To the end that our homes,
streets and public places be made
more attractive and beautiful, urge
that the day may in a measure be
given to planting; in addition to
planting it behoovest to preserve. Pub
lie sentiment appreciative of the value
OF our forestry and the necessity of its
preservation from wanton destruction
should be cultivated.''
1t is a distressing sight to see so
many school grounds throughout the
country devoid of trees, says the Sher-
burn Standard. Many a school build
ing has stood for years without ever a
tree having been planted on the
grounds. Patrons should attend to
this if school be not in session, and if
it is, see that the teacher has chance
to observe Arbor Day. But whatever
you do, be sure to plant some trees.
They will bless coming generations.

Railroads would pay on the ground

their greatest value rests, like land
values, their value is caused by the
presence of the people. Without pop

hence, these values would be taken

untaxed. But as to railroads and
