Dixie jubilee Singers.

On Friday evening of next week the
people of this city will have the plea
sure of hearing Ferguson's Famous
Dixie Jubilee Singers, who are pro-
nounced the best company of colored
talent in the world. This company,
comes to our city under the manage
ment of the Columbian Lyceum Bureau
OF St. Paul and is the second attrac:
t1on in the series of entertainments
provided for our people by the Citi-
zens' Lecture Bureau of Willmar. It
Is expected that this coming entertain
ment will be fully as much of treat
in the line of music as that of Herbert
l.. Cope as a humorist, judging by the
many testimonials from both the press
and the general public.
The following is the personnel of the
Dixie Jubilee Concert Company: The
famous Dixie male quartette-Mr. +.
81. johnson, first tenor; Mr.. G. P.
Williams, second tenor; Mr.. A. B.
Wil]oughby, baritone; Mr.. w. c.
Buckner, basso. The following lady
artists: Mdme. Neale Gertrude Hawk
ms Buckner, prima donna soprano:
Miss Belle Stone, the Tennessee solo,
ist, contralto; Miss Lucille Hampton,
the accomplished pianist, accompan-
ist.
Among the many testimonials pub
)ished regarding this company is the
following from DR.. Enoch Perry, pas
tor of the M. E church at Whitewater,
Wis.,: "We were delighted with the
concert given by the Dixie Jubilee
Singers in our church. They have
splendid voices, of rare compass,
beautiful expression and pleasing ef-
fect In their Southern melodies they
are especially fine. It was q great
pleasure to entertain them in our
homes"
The company will appear at the
opera house, and it is safe to say that
all who appreciate something elevating
in the concert line will be we'll repaid
for giving the entertainment their pa
tronage.

Rev. G. Carlson left yesterday for
Maynard, where he will stay over
Sunday. His sermon in the Swedish
Baptist church here last Thursday
evening was one that ought to con.
vince any one that the soul of man is
immortal. He discussed the subject
both from the theological and moral
standpoint, and showed how import
ant it is for man to live with the fact
in view that each one will have to
answer for the things done on earth.

Big Pay Roll.

Last Tuesday was pay day for the
Great Northern employees on the Will
mar & Sioux Falls divisions, the to-
tai amount of the pay roll on these
two divisions being s73.492.4o. Will
mar being the headquarters for a
large number of the employees sharing
in this amount it naturally follows
that the city receives large slice OF
the railroad wages. It is estimated
that nearly IS per cent of the above
amount has been distributed in WILL
mar.

Prohibittoa Press Bulletin.

The republicans are enthused by
the results of the election in Ohio, the
democrats rejoice as they contemplate
New York City, and our friends, the
Prohibitio uists, profess themselves
highly gratified over the substantial
gains in all the states. There is moth
ing like having everybody satisfied.
Congress has assembled to consider
Cuban reciprocity. The whole amount
of money represented in this problem
would hardly buy the drinks of the na-
ton for twenty-four hours. If con-
gress is deeply interested in the ma.
tional prosperity of any people, this
Yankee nation of ours ought to at.
tract as much of their attention as the
Cubans.
The canteen question is about the
first to show its head in this session of
congress. Banquo's ghost was easy
compared with this unlayable ques-
tion. This much is perfectly plain,
the rank and file of the soldiers are
not making any demand for the return
OF the canteen. All of the officers who
command the soldiers, barring a COM
paratively few, stand solidly against
the re-establishment of the drunk fac
tory. The agitation for the army

MUST ATTEND Who'll EYEAR
cht'dre" Arc Required to Go to Sehool
During Entire Time School
10 In Session.

Pupils between eight and sixteen
years in public schools of Minnesota
must attend school the entire time
that the schools in the districts in
which they live are in session, unless
they are excused as required by the
law, according to an opinion fled
Wednesday with the state superintend-
ent of public instruction by W. J..
Donahower, first assistant attorney
general. If this opinion holds good,
there are several children in Willmar
whose parents need to look after them
more carefully, if they would be what
might be called strictly law-abiding
citizens.
Under an old law on compulsory
education pupils we're required to- at
tend twelve weeks, of which six bad to
be in succession. In 1899 and 1901
laws were passed requiring pupils to
attend during the entire time of the
session. In neither of these laws,
however, we're there any provisions
repeating any part of the old law,
and the question arose, is the old law
still in force?
Mr.. DOnahower holds that those
provisions in the old law which are in
conflict with provisions in the new laws
are repealed, even though there is no
direct repealing clause.
Pupils will be excused only when
the following is shown to the school
board in the district in which the
parent or guardian resides:
That such parent, guardian Or other
person having control Is not able by
reason of poverty to clothe the child
properly.
That the child's bodily or mental
condition is such as to prevent his
attendance at school or application to
study for the required period.
That the child is taught at home in
the branches of study which are
usually taught at the public schools,
subject to the same examination as
other pupils of the district are.
That the child has already acquired
the ordinary branches required by
law.
That the child is actually engaged
in some useful occupation, employ
ment or service permitted by law.

Change In Time Card.

A new railroad time card issued this
week goes into effect tomorrow morn-
ing. There is slight change in the
train service at this point. No. AZ,
the. passenger from the south, now
due here at $40 q. M, will arrive ten
minutes earlier. This change is made
so as to connect with No. 10, the
morning train from the west, which
will now leave this point for the east
twenty five minutes earlier than form
erly. The new time table gives the
leaving time as $40 9. m. This will
mean still earlier rising for parties
wishing to board the early morning
train.

SWlNDLER INDICTED
Three Indictments Returned At Ferrus
Falls Against Harry Gilmore, the
Gay Decetver.

Three Indictments have been re-.
turned at Fergus Falls against Harry
P. Gilmore, alias Penrose, alias Stew
ems, alias E S. Porter, the noted
swindler OF women and girls. After
carrying on his swindling operations
in South Dakota for a time and vic.
tim1zing number of women, he was
arrested in Clay county and lodged In
jail. Before term of state circuit
court had disposed of his case, he es.
capped from the Clay county Jail at
Vermillion.
Gilmore, previous to his escape
from the Clay county Jail and his last
arrest in Minnesota had travelled in
Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota,
leaving behind him a trail of broken
hearts and scores of anxious and ex.
pectant customers, each of whom had
paid S27 down on the promise that be
or she would receive the fashions and
patterns of leading house in these
lines.
10 addition to pre- wing himself q
successful salesman of his spurious
goods, it was as an ensnarer of fond
affections that he shone to best ad.
vantage. Wherever he went, this
smooth Lothario found some trusting
fair one who was more than willing tc
confine her happiness to his keeping
He was very handy with his pen and
wrote numberless love epistles to wo.
men and girls whose affections he had
won.
Gilmore will be remembered as the
criminal who was taken through Will.
mar by tho sheriff from Fergus Falls
to be lodged in the Otter Tail county
jail. He was brought from Granite
Falls, where he had been held pend
ing the arrival of the authorities. HI
was handcuffed and was closely
guarded, so at the time attracted con.
siderable attention from the crowd a,
the railway station.
