Were Careless with Fire.

Last Saturday Mr.. Martin Eoger
had occasion to go out to Gilbertson
Bros ice house near the lake. It
proved to be q very fortunate thing
for the owners of the building. Some
boys who had presumably been out
hunting had built a fire near the build
ing, and when leaving had evidently
tried to put out the fire by stamping
on the brands and scattering them.
Some of the live Goals had been kicked
into the sawdust near the base of the
building and smoulderirg fire had
started there: Mr.. Eoger says that
Judging from the size of the footsteps
ia the snow the careless hunters must
have been boys of about twelve to
fourteen years of age-old enough to
know better than to start fire so near
to a building and then go and leave
it without making sure that it was ex-
tinguished.

Additional Argume emit.

Another argument for the suppress
sion of the saloon comes from Ger
many, a surprising source, where a
painstaking investi gator has been try
ing to find out, by statistics, on what
day of the week most accidents occur,
and at what hour of the day. This is
what has been done by DR.. Wolff, of
Strasburg. He bases his conclusions
on l,07l cases of accidents among the
working classes 1t thus appears that
Monday is not less unlucky than Fri
day, when it comes to accidents, and
for this fact he accounts by the state
ment that the drinking shops are most
frequented by workmen in Germany
on the days previous, viz, Saturdays,
Sundays and Thursdays. Fewer &C.
cidents happen on Tuesday than on
any other day CT the week, because on
no day are drinking houses so empty
as on Monday. he has also discoy-
cred the remarkable fact that the
hours after breakfast, dinner and the
afternoon rest, are signalized by most
accidents. He attributes this to the
lassitude caused by the work of d.
gestion, and to the use made by men
OF intoxicants during meal times. It
was not his intention to preach tenn
perauce sermon, but he has done so,
uncOnsciously.

WjllmaF Victorious.

A football game was played at the
ball park on Thursday afternoon be-
tween the Willmar and Litchfeld
elevens. The weather was rather
chilly, so the crowd that turned out to
watch the game was not as large as it
might have been. At first fears we're
entertained that the home team was
not in practice and that the Litchfeld
team would have to have a stenOgra-
pher to take down the score, but after
the game had commenced it was not
long before it became evident that the
Willmar lads had it all to themselves.
1t made no differe' ce in what part of
the line the Li1chfeld players At
tempted to break through, they were
always put back, and they even failed
to make their first "down.'' Whether
their failure to do so is to be attri.
buted to too heavy Thanksgiving
dinner, to The cold weather, or to in
forior skill, is something yet to be de-
termined, but one thing is sure, the
Litch6eld team wasn't Sin it, and the
score was q to 0, in favor of Willmar.

Reporter has been operating a coal
stove for three weeks now and has

Shortage.
Papers were filed yesterday in q suit
instituted by the city OF Willmar
against Samuel Osmundsou, former

Barnstad, sureties on his bond, to
recover the amount OF the shortage in

ney in the suit. Hon. Lyndon A.
