4 highly Enjoyable Session.

Odd Fellows Hall was the scene
last Friday evening of one of the most
pleasant gatherings ever held in this
city in lodge circles. It was the oc-
casion of the visit to Mt. Nebo Chap
ter of Royal Arch Masons of the
Grand High Priest, E. E. Corliss, and
the Grand Master of the Second Veil,
J. T. johnson, both of Fergus Falls,
who are on q tour of visitation to the
different chapters throughout the state.
The ceremonies began at o'clock and
continued until 2 q. m. and included
the initiation of two candidates into
the mysteries of the mark master de-
gree. The degree work was exempli-
fed by the local team and was highly
complimented by the grand lodge Off
GERS. who did not hesitate to say that
the work of the evening was one of the
finest they had seen in the state.
The meeting was attended by nearly
the full membership of the Chapter,
about 26 being present. Addresses
were enjoyed from both the visiting
officers and also from different men,
bers. It was about II O'Clock when
an adjournment was taken for the due
observance of another important cere-
mony, when the banquet room was the
scene of further festivities. Here the
Masons were given spread by the
ladies of the Eastern Star, and it was
the unanimous verdict of those who
gathered about the festive board that
1t was one of the most elaborate ban
quets ever served. After feasting OF
the good thing and enjoying the flow
Of wit and humor, the early morning
hours were devoted to the finishing of
the work, and when the final adjourn
ment was taken it was with q feeling
by all present that most successful
session in Royal Arch Masonry had
closed,

That Glonwood Gama.

This is the way the Glenwood Her.
aid writes up the ball game played
last Thursday at Glenwood between
the team from this city and the aggre-
cation on the 500:
The formal opening of the base ball
season in and for the village of Glen
wood took place on last Thursday
afternoon in game between the Will
mar Juniors and Glenwood's Yellow
Kids. Many are the times when the
Kids have met the Willmar team and
with rare exceptions the Willmarites
have suffered defeat. The game on
Thursday was no exception, the
aggregation from the city on the south
was sent home to the tune Of seventeen
to two. The "Kids" play ball with
their old time vigor and precision and
it is useless on the part of any of the
teams from nearby towns to attempt
to play against them,. Only for an
accident the Willmar team would
have been the recipients of coat of
whitewash. 1t is certain that the Glen
wood boys will be heard from as the
winners against the mosq formidable
teams in the state.

, Celebrate the 18th of uav

AS planned, the day was celebrated
on the Floren farm three miles north
OF town. The weather looked threat
ening in the morning, but the wind
blew the clouds away and about ten
O'Clock the start was made. As it
was nearly dinner time when the pro-
cession reached the picnic grounds it
was decided to postpone the program
until after dinner. The tables we're
loaded with all kinds of Norwegian
eatables. and for an hour and half
the Observation-Disclosures present i'm
agined they were in ''gamle landet. !"
The walters were all dressed In Nor
wegian national costumes, which aided
inmaking everything appear "Norsk. "
After dinner the program was rem
dered, M. 0. Thorpe acting as chair
man. Rev. Heimdahl in a few we'll
chosen words welcomed the audience.
Prof. O. K. Omlie delivered a very in
teresting and instructive speech on
''The Relation of the Individual to
the State" He showed that the his
tory of a nation is really the history
OF the development of the individual.
He traced the growth of the concep-
tion of personal liberty from ancient
times down through the centuries, and
showed how it was modified by social,
religious and political conditions
The ancient conception was that the
state was the unit, man the fraction.
The Individual belonged to the state.
Christianity, by discovering to the
world the Importance of the human
soul, laid the foundation of modern
free governments.
Prof. Hanson spoke in the Norwe.
gian language. He showed why we
as Americans should celebrate such
days, and why young people especial.
ly should join in the celebration with
enthusiasm. The speech was clear
and concise, and was greatly enjoyed.
Between the speeches Mr.. Ormbeck
played some old folk melodies on his
''Hardangerfele," which to many re.
called old memories of the land of the
midnight sun.
After the program light refreshments
were served, and the young people en-.
joyed game of ball. All went home
feeling that they had spent a pleasant
day. L. S. D.

Rains Cause Damage.

A landslide and washout on the
Willmar & Sioux Falls line, between
Lynd and Russell, was the cause OF
considerable inconvenience in traffic
along that line this week. Yesterdays
trains were obliged to transfer pas
sengers at Lynd, No. II returning
here at 5 O'Clock. It is reported that
over hundred feet of the road bed is
effected by the slide. The bridge con-
struction department was put into SER
vice and the work of putting the road
bed in condition for the resumption of
traffic was rushed with all possible
speed. Asst. Supt. Knebel went out
yesterday.

Seattle Produce Msgnate Acquires an
Interest in tho Willmar Cold
Storage Plant.

John B. Agen, the Seattle produce
merchant, has bought a half interest in
the cold storage business with Holt &
Finseth. The plant is rapidly devel-
oping q business which means much
to Willmar and the list of patrons is
steadily increasing. Messrs. Holt
and Finseth are very busy men in the
creamery department and find that
they have much to demand their atten-
tion. The egg business of Mr.. 'Agen
is assuming such large proportions
that temporary quarters were estab-
lished this week in the Hans Larson
building on Pacific avenue for hand
ling part OF the hen product. The
place was put into service as being
convenient for the temporary storage
of eggs shipped in here. 1t seems as
if the largest share of the eggs in this
part of the state are billed for the
Wil]mar plant. Carload after car
load is being billed here for shipment
to the Pacific coast house at Seattle.
The enormous proportions to which
this business is growing will be sur
prise to many Willmar people. Dur
ing the last week over Sll, 900 in cash
was paid for eggs, milk and cream de-
livered to this plant at Willmar. Six
teen men are kept busy loading, pack
ing and reloading. Plans are under
way for greatly increasing the size of
the plant. More ground: has. been
leased from Mr.. Robbins. The i'm
provements will include q spur track
and loading platform along the side
of the building, where the egg cars
will be switched alongside each day.
During fall and winter the poultry
business will be pushed. Mr.. Agen
making Willmar his Minnesota head
quarters means much to our city.

AUcUSTANA CONFERENCE
Tho Removal Of the custsvus AdoIphuS
College to Minneapolis to be De-
cided by . Committee.

The most important question before
the meeting of the Minnesota Confer.
ence OF the Augustana Synod, held in
Minneapolis the past week, was the
removal of Gustavus Adolphus Col
1ege from St. Peter to Minneapolis.
The committee selected at the New
London meeting last fall to solicit the
guarantee fund had not succeeded in
getting the necessary pledges. After
a long and earnest discussion of the
matter it was finally voted to let the
committee have further time to COM
plete the fund. The question of re-
locating the college will be decided
by a committee of nine members
three from Minneapolis, three from
St. Paul and three from outside points.
The following were selected as men,
bers of that committee: Revs. PA.
Mattson and O. A. Nilsson, and DR..
Lind, Minneapolis; Revs. j. Carl
son and c. A. Hultkrans, and Mr..
John M. Carlson, St. Paul; Rev. J.
Magny, Volga, Wis.,, A. P. Mallquist,
East Union, Minn., and P. Peterson,
Cokato, MINI. The conference voted
to have financial agent to raise an
endowment fund and to help the twin
city committee to raise the $3.50, 600
bonus for the removal of the College.
DR.. M. Wahlstom offered his resig-
nation as rector of the college, but the
conference by unanimous vote ask
ed him to continue the work he has so
ably carried on for a quarter of q
century.
The Conference closed it's deliber-
ations yesterday morning. Among
the delegate chosen to represent the
Conference at the annual meeting of
the Augustana Synod of America that
convenes at PAXTON ILL.,, June IL, were
three from this county: Nels Nelson, of
Svea, and Victor E. Lawson of Will
mar, two out of three lay delegates
| who represent the Pacific district, and
G. M. Lawson, of New London, who
was elected as lay delegate at large
| for the State. The latter gentleman
was an old resident of Paxton, as we'll
as one of the earliest members of the
Swedish Lutheran church at that place,
which was the early location of the
seat of learning of the synod-the Aug
ustana College and Theological Sem
| mary now at Rock Island I'll.
The clergymen elected as sdefe gstes
from the Pacific district are Revs. C.
B. L. Boman, A. J. Elmer and O.
Hallberg.
Rev. J. O. Lundberg of Svea was
reelected as member of the execu-
| tive committee.
Willmar tribune., 1903-05-20

an alderm anic vacancy was to be filed.
The result is another black eye to the
injection of partisan politics into To-
cal affairs.
About sixty less votes were cast than
at the last regular election, but the
absent vote did not include much of
the so-called "hoating" vote, as it
was nearly all voted.
The result is an endorsement of the
new administration and of the good
work already done by the executive
branch of the same. In Mr.. Holt,
Mayor Qvale will find a staunch sup
porter in his efforts to place the busi-
ness affairs of the city on sound
business basis.
