A Happy Surprise.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. August
Lindblad, in the town of Fahlun, was
the scene last Sunday of a large gath
ering of neighbors and friends who
had assembled to pay their respects to
the couple. The affair had been plan
ned as a surprise party and it was
most successfully carried out, for dur
ing the afternoon sbme over hun
dred guests arrived and took posses
sion of the house. In the party were
many members of the Svea congrega-
tion, as we'll as good. sized de]ega-
tion from Wil]mar. Each family
came we'll provided with eatables and
all the necessary things that 60 to-
ward making such functions q COM
plete success. The host and hostess
were presented with purse of money
amounting to some over forty dollars,
for which Mr.. Lundberg, on behalf OF
the worthy couple, extended their
thanks in most happy speech.
The company of surprisers first be-
gan to make their appearance al the
Lindblad home at three O'Clock and it
was long after the supper hour before
the party finally broke up. While
the weather was not of the most xsxor-
able kind later In the afternoon, yet
this did not interfere seriously with
the festivities of the occasion, and the
merry-making of the guests on the in
side was continued in spite of the ele-
ments. The Willmar people who had
the pleasure of attending report the
affair most enjoyab one.

5 SAD DEATH OF YOUNG wife
The Homo Of Theodore Linn I, fourth
r. ward Is Terribly Afflicted by tho
a Hand Of Death,

= MONDAY morning the entire commun.
NY was shocked by the sad news of the
oeath OF Mrs. Linn, the wife of Theo.
oore Linn. She had been i'll since
friday and the death occurred at her
! nome In the Fourth Ward Monday
morning, shortly before ten O'Clock,
death being due to the effects of child
birth. The deceased was % years of
age.
The news 1s so much more sad az
death occurred so suddenly and was
unexpected. There was not even time
Tor the last farewell, as she was under
the influence of chloroform most of the
time in order to relieve her pains.
Her husband and relatives are nearly
prostrated with grief and all that en-
joyed her acquaintance feel the loss
very keenly.
The funeral was held today. AT
eight O'Clock this morning brief SER
vice was conducted at the late home,
Rev. G. Peterson of the Swedish Luth-
eran church officiating. The remains
were taken to the old home of the de-
ceased in the town of Lake Lillian,
where the final obsequies were con-
Quoted by Rev. J. o. Lundberg. The
interment was in the Christine church
cemetery, where both mother and child
were buried, aud where the last sad
rites were witnessed by large con-
course of neighbors and friends.
Not long ago Mr.. and Mrs. Linn
moved into their new home in south
@Fhird street, and had just settled
down to enjoy the comforts of life
when death came and so ruthlessly
broke the bonds that united them, as
we'll as taking away the second child
with which they were blessed. The
circumstances under which both
mother and child passed away causes
the deepest regret and much sympathy
is expressed for the sorrowing hus-
band, whose lot seems almost unbear-
able. 1t is very hard blow, and
time only can in a measure heal the
heart of sorrow of one who is thus
bereft of all that is both nearest and
dearest to him.
Deceased leaves besides her husband
an aged mother, Mrs. Ole Lindquist,
one brother and two sisters, all resi-
dents OF the town of Lake Lillian.

RATES FOR THRESHlNC
The Throshers' National Protective
Association Has tssuod Rate
Gard Of tho Union for 1903.

A great deal of talk has been
created by the formation of The
Threshers' National Protective Asso.
citation, which was organized here
some two or three months ago. It
has even gone so far that the anti
threshers' association has been formed
in the east part of the county. The
writer interviewed one of the officers
of the Threshers' Association Mon
day, and he informed us that it was
not to place high prices for threshing
but to set q rate that would yield a
fair compensation, and the members
of the threshing union will stand by
those prices. The rate card of the
Union for the year 1903 reads thus:

Menace TO PUBLIC HEALTH
Unsightly orowths Of Weeds Should Be-
Exterminated-Nowt the Proper
Time.

Health Officer Rains has called our
attention to the following from the St.
Paul Daily News, which we think will
prove of interest to Willmar readers.
It will be noticed that the same con-
ditions regarding weeds exist in St.
Paul as in many other places, and q
careful perusal of the following article
may be of benefit to all Willmar pro-
perty owners. The Daily News says:
The menace to public health from
weeds has again arisen, and it is safe
to presume that many persons in ST:
Paul who are suffering from lassitude
and ailments of the bronchial organs
may attribute their sufferings to the
high, poisonous weeds that fill many
of the vacant lots of the city.
Last year DR.. Ohage cleared as
many lots as his funds would permit,
but this year he cannot secure money
for this purpose. The result is that
unless property owners themselves be-
come interested every district of st.
Paul will contain unsightly and un-
healthy weed spots.
The question of beauty is secondary,
LILO C1uStSTS VI "cSOS lOFm d alQlQg
place for all sorts of germs which are
blown about the streets. The dust
settles in these clusters and this, with
the pollen which is blown about at
| every gust, is enough to cause hay
fever or almost any other sort Of
| nasal or throat ailment.
The destruction of the weeds will un-
doubtedly cause q cessation in these
diseases.
From the standpoint of civic beauty
the destruction of the weeds is impera-
tive. Some citizens keep their lawns
shaved down to a velvety smoothness
and on the lot next to the house per-
nit unsightly growths of weeds to &C.,
cumulate.
It is peculiar logic that citizen
will thus follow.
If he owns the lot he ought to clear
it of weeds. If he does not be ought
to ask the man who owns it to do it.
If the owner would not do it, it would
be good citizenship to clear it al his
own expense.
People who allow weeds to grow
on their lots ought to be censured by
their neighbors. They ought to be
considered as shiftless as the man
who neglects to NOW his lawn and
thereby destroys the beauty of his
neighbours lawn.
This is the season when weeds are
going to seed. If the growth is not
to be doubled next year the extermina-
tion should be commenced at once.
