INVALID CARRIED ON A
COT FROM BURNING HOUSE
Stalwart Firemen Rescue William
Addison from the Flames
Which Destroyed Residence.
WATCHES WORK OF FIRE

Calmly lying In a cot which was carried
by two stalwart firemen, William Addison,
1929 North Alabama street, was last evening
borne from his home. which was being eaten
by flames, to the home of a neighbor across
the street. Although i'll, he was a silent
spectator of the fire which destroyed his
property.
Addison had been sick in bed for num-
Der of days, but his condition was not con-
sidered extremely serious. and it is not be-
lieved that any bad results will come from
his exciting experience. He was given no
cause for great alarm and apparently was
not excited.
When the fire was discovered the entire
roof of the rear of the house was ablaze
and by the time the fire depsrtment arrived
on the scene the upper story was roaring
furnace. Mr.. Addison and his family were
quickly removed from the building and the
work of fighting the fire was begun. The
total loss, il is said, will reach 5000, fully
covered by insurance.

More money was earned by private

among the queer ways of earning mon
ey was that of acting as pallbearers at

delegates to the annual meeting of the
Iowa League of municipalities while
in session at Waterloo, Ia, were enter-
tanned at an elaborate banquet a few
nights ago, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean. Strains of music foated weird
~ through the long tunnel as the dele
gates dined, and the curving roof flung
back with curious echo the speeches
which broughtkthe banquet to an 'end.
The sewer banquet" as it was
called, was thei special feature Sof this
years convention of the league. 1t
was held in WaterloOs mammoth new
concrete drain pipe, said to be the
largest sewer constructed by tany mu-
nicipality. Mayor p. ]. Martin, who
presided at the dinner, said that the
sewer banquet idea originated lin joke
made in the council when work on the
sewer was first started. When the
sewer was nearing completion it was
decided that the scheme was feasible,
and it was determined to carry it out.
The sewer is 1000 feet bongiand was
built at a total cost of 100000. In its
construction 100000 feet OF material
were used. One block of the sewer
was partitiOned off into a temporary
banquet hail. in which table 400 feet
long was placed. Around this were
seated many prominent Iowa officials,
who enjoyed the novelty of the affair.
Hundreds of electric lights were strung
through the banquet hall" Beautiful
decorations and music combined to
make the scene one of novel beauty.
The banquet ended with proposals of
toasts for WaterIooss future prosperity.

"Kandiyohi" is not the name of a
new breakfast food, cigar, nor a
patent medicine, but the name of one
of Minnesota's most prosperous coun-
ties.
Kandiyohi is an Indian word, which,
broadly translated, means plenty of
water filled with big buffalo,, referring
to the numerous lakes Astounding in
fish, particularly the variety known as
buffalo, so called on account of their
large size. Kandiyohi county is cen
trally located in the state and is one
of the banner counties of the famous
Lake Park region. It's topography is
in the north rolling, while in the south
it presents the level Of the prairie, but
with sufficient fall to give excellent
drainage.
A chain of lakes circles through the
county from the southeast to the north
west. each bordered with groves of
timber. Green lake is a short distance
from Willmar, has become popular
resort, and every year sees new cot
tageS added to the number already dot
ting it's shores
Wheat has long been the king of
crops, but in latter years there has been
tendency to diversity, and the re-
suit is betterment in a financial way
to everybody concerned. It is a well
established fact that Kandiyohi county
soil will produce anything and every
thing grown in a diversified farming
country, and the writer could cite the
reader to numerous farmers who came
into this county without means and now
own we'll improved farms and have
snug sums in the local banks.

Its Banks Are Solid.

The prosperous condition of things in
Willmar and the country whereabouts
is shown in the solid, character of its
banks, of which there are three. There
is, no feature that more fully indicates
the. Importance. of a community than
it's banking institutions. To judge
Willmar by this standard gives the
city an unusually strong showing. The
first one to be organized was the Bank
of Willmar, as a private concern in
1873, but which in 1882 became a state
bank. The present officers are: A. E..
Rice, formerly lieutenant governor,
president C. E. Lien, vice president; F..
G.. Handy, cashier and HsGunderson, as
sistant cashier. The capital stock and
undivided profits amount to 100000.
The Kandiyohi countE bank, Differed
by Andrew Larson, president; j. f.
Willard, vice presidents Il. o. Thorpe,
cashier; and L. A. Vila,s assistant CASH
Ter, has $4,000 capital $4,000 surplus,
and $4,000 profits. ItYas the second
one organized.
The First National bank was organ
lied June 16, 1902, and at the close of
the fiscal year, June s36i 1903, showed
deposits in excess Of 100000 and a
capital stock of $4,000. The officers
are: Russell Spicer, president, Albert

for not only maintaining such but for
the work of the club in watching and
promoting the best interests of the
city. The club has over 100 members,
most of whom are represented on va
rious standing committees. Alton
