be expected, but his injury is such
that he will doubtless be'a cripple for

Discussed . Timely Topic.

"Should the Citizens of Willmar
Vote for License at the Coming City
Election" the subject of very
mastery discourse delivered at the
M. E. church last Sunday evening by
it's able pastor, Rev. Joseph Hogg.
The announcement that Rev. Hogg
would talk on a subject which is so
timely at present was the result of
bringing out a congregation that
taxed the capacity of the building.
The speaker gave out some very
plain facts and most forcibly ex-
planned why our citizens should not
vote for license at the coming city
election. He announced that on next
Sunday evening another address bear
ing on the subject would be delivered.

of James J. Hill, would resign from.

tendent of the Great Northern, sue
eeeding Frank Ward, promoted to be
general manager. It has been ru-
mored that in the event of Nj. Slade
coming to the Great Northern James
NJ. Gruber, assistant general superin-
tepdent, would resign, and it is re.
ported that Mr.. Gruber has placed his
resignation in the hands of General
Manager " ard, to take effect on
April l, when Mr.. Slade assumes his
duties. The cause of Mr.. Gruber's
act as explained by his friends is an
unfulflled promise said to have been
made by President Hill to Mr.. Grub
or some years ago. That promise, it
is stated, was that Gruber should
have the position of general super1n-
tendent of the system as soon as a
vacancy occurred. But Mr.. Ward
was promoted over his head and made
general manager. The post was
again vacant and Mr.. Slade has been
selected. Mr.. Gruber has long been
regarded as one of the most capable
officials about the Great Northern
general Offices. 1t is rumored that
other changes may follow.-Crook.

MONDAY EVENING. JAN. i2, 1908.

WE ARE now in mid-winter, the most
cbeerless season of the year and the
most apprehensive to the old, inhrm,
and people of impaired vitality. About
every other person we meet is suffering
from cold in one form or another and in
some instances grip, that menace 10
human life, is prevailing. The dismal
conditions of yesterday with the prevail
ing order of things concerning the fuel
famine and with the almost certain as
surance of their continuance for three
months longer naturally cast many
into respondent moods while the pierre
ing cold of this morning almost brought
despair In nearly every column OF the
news departments of yesterdays papers
were dispatches from different parts OF
the country telling of sutferings from
billiards. and the scarcity OF coal, while
tho statements that factories here and
there had shut down for want OF coal
were prominent. A year or two ago we
heard much of the full dinner pail. Ii
m manufacturing plants continue to close
and there is every likelihood that they
will-the sad picture of an empty PAL
will appear side by side with that OF the
depleted hod, and the holding up o.
coal trains by desperate people Will be
common incident. The responsibility
for such a state of affairs can be traced
directly to its source, and those who
have caused people to freeze u
death. little children to huddle IN bee
TO avoid such tate and their elders tC
bend over handful of burning sticks Of
chips have much for which to answer. The
past summer was spent by some In the
coal fields in riotous conduct and py
others who assumed the leadership IL
parleying and vaccilation until the frosi'
came and found people unprepareo ''
meet the rigors of the season. The
evidence which is now being given be-
fore the strike commission in Philadei
phia is an expose of past conditions II

naught and other notabilities, and the
end Of the durbar display. People are
now beginning to estimate the cost OF the
festivities. According to one estimate
cabled from Delhi, the Indian govern.
ment will have to pay over SO. 100, 900,
aud Lord Curzon himself is supposed to
have spent many thousands of pounds
sterling in entertaining his personal
guests. For their display of magni6cence
the native princes expenses varied from
$500, 600, spent by the Nizam of Hyder-

about $75, 900 each for their camps. Judg-
