PIONEER RESIDENT DEAD
Jacob o. Jacobson Suceumbed to pneu-
monta Last Evening After
Brief Illness,

Last evening at $50 O'Clock, Jacob
0. Jacobson passed away at his home
on Fifth street after brief illness
from pneumonia. The news of his
death was received with much sur
prise by many of our citizens who
ha not known of his serious illness,
and came as shock to friends. BE
was taken ill last Friday morning.
Mr.. jacobson had been in poor
health for several years, being af-
fected with kidney troubles, and ow-
ing to his weak constitution he was
unable to Withstand the last attack
which so suddenly took him away.
Deceased was 60 years of age the
23rd of last December. He leaves
wife and only child, Alpha, to mourn
the loss of kind husband and father.
The funeral will be held next Sun
day and services will be conducted by
Rev. E. E. Gynild of the Lutheran
Free church. A brief service will be
held from the family residence at 2:30
p. m. and a sermon preached at the
church.
Relatives residing in the county who
survive the deceased are his brother.
Christian Jacobson, of Spicer, and q
nephew, Martinius Jacobson, at pres
ent a resident of the town of Kandiyo
hi.
Jacob Jacobson was highly re-
spected citizen of this city, where he
had made his home the greater part of
the past twenty-five years. He re-
tired only short time ago from the
mercantile business in which he was
associated with his brcther-in-law, j.
+. Peterson, under the Fl m name of
Jacobson & Peterson, and which they
together conducted for the past eight
years. Previous to that time he had
been engaged in business at Hawick
and also at Kerkhoven, but the greater
part of his 25 years residence in the
county was devoted to business in
Willmar. He served as clerk in the
early days for Hans Paulson, a pio-
neer merchant now deceased, whose
place of business was conducted in
the old Rice & Manning building.
|, Deceased was a native of Norway,
his birthplace being Adanger, near
Postgrund. He came to America in
1867, first settling at Red Wing. He
reno led to this county when the rail-
road was extended to Willmar. Sew
enteen years ago he was married to
the wife who now survives him, and
w. Wilson.
The heartfelt sympathy of the COM
munity goes out to the bereaved fami-

Civic Responsibility

The annual dinner of the New-York Alumni AS
ISOLATION Of Phi Kappa Psi was held in the Astor
Gallery Of the WaIdorf-Astoria last night Dr. E
r L. Gould, the City Chamberlain. was the prtn-
cipal speaker. He responded TO toast on Civic
Respors biIity." He said in part;
Owing TO the vast increase in urban population,
which includes out Of every three Inha0i-
tantS OF The country, the problem Of CIVIC govern
ment is Of The most important questions OF the
day. 1t affects moral. social and economic wei
fare Of the people more than national or Stale
government. The old system OF our fOreIathsrs
who placed the city under the control Of the lesIs-
lature. is passing away. This denial OF home rule
is responsible ror great lack of civic responsibility
and pride. The theory that cities were imperial
dernocracies placed them in the hands Of bosses
who controlled the sdministra ton The sensible
rational theory of city government was based on
absolute nOn-partisansnp.
Dr. Could then appealed to the college men to
assist in bringing about good government. He said
their training fitted them particularly for Ibis
work and their fraternity affairs enabled them 70
grasp the situation. He tOld them not 10 re dis
Couraged because Of the lack OF success n the i4S
