A Good Record.

Conducting general merchandise
business for nine years with q loss OF
only eighty cents in bad bills Is the
exceptional record shown by William
Schultz, who recently disposed of his
business property in the town of Har-
rison. Such q record speaks we'll for
the community in which the business
has been conducted, especially when
the fact is taken into consideration
that the Harrison store had been do
ing more or less of q credit business.
We doubt If another country store can
show q better record and we are Ger.
tain that there are very few that can
come up to it. ,
Mr.. Schultz disposed of his Harri-
son property in order to remove to
Minneapolis, where he will give his
children the advantages OF better
education. His successors in business
are Fred Stenberg, the popular butter
maker, and A. E. Dahl, both of Har.
risOn.

Five Watermelons. 80 Davs.

Edward Gravel and Patrick VIII
burn, two members of q Great North
ern extra gang, were taken before
Judge Muller last Thursday charged
with the theft of five watermelons from
freight car in the yard. At first
they wanted trial by jury but after
some meditation they decided to have
their case tried at once. After having
heard the testimony in the case Judge
Muller found them guilty and imposed
upon each $25 and costs or 30 days in
the county jail and being financially
"broke' they are now together serv-
ing the county go days for five water
melons, an average of IL days per
melon. 1t may be interesting to know
that the melons were stolen from Vii
burn and Gravel before they got time
to try them, so they didn't get any,
thing but plenty of trouble out of the
affair. Two boySof our adventurous
kird had been secured as helpers but
as no complaint was made out against
them, they were released.

W1ilmar friends of Mrs. G. A. Eric
son, OF Fergus Falls, who will be re-
membered by many in this city by he,
maiden name of Miss Dora Bake
will deeply sympathize with her in the
bereavement which has befaIlen her
the death of her husband, after q
welded life OF little over a year
The end came on Monday, Aug. l, Mr..
Ericson's death being due to hear,
failure. Last Fridays Fergus Falls
Free Press gives the following partic.
ulars, which will be of interest to the
Willmar friends of the family:
Early Monday morning City Treas.
arer G. A. Ericsson died at his resi-.
dence in this city from heart failure.
His death was very sudden AMI the
shock to the community was conse.
quently greater than if it had been ex.
pected.
Mr.. Ericsson has long been afflicted
with q weak heart and about three
weeks ago he became i'll but he soon
rallied and the day before his death
every Indication pointed toward his
recovery.
Mr.. Ericsson was born in Sweden &c
years ago and came to this city in
1883, where he soon gained an honor
able position In the community. He
was man of strict honesty, rare bust.
ness ability, true friend and in every
way an exceptionally good citizen. AT
the time OF his death he was city treas.
urer and assistant cashier of the Fer
gus Falls National bank.
A little over year ago Mr.. Ericsson
and Miss Dora Bake were united In
marriage and . child was born three
weeks ago. This condition adds an
additional sorrow to the death. Mr..
Ericsson Is also survived by his broth
ers, A. B. and Oscar Ericsson of this
city and his parents who reside in
Sweden.
The funeral occurred Wednesday
and was one of the largest ever held
here. Services were held at the Con-
gregational church and an eloquent
and thoughtful sermon was delivered
by Rev. J. w. Todd and at the grave
at Mt. Faith cemetery the beautiful
ritual service of the Modern Wood
mon was read.
Mrs. Ericsson is niece of Mrs. L.

Loses Hat, Grip and Wife.

To lose any one of tho above-men-
toned articles Is generally considered
unfortunate, but to lose them all at
one time must surely be called q case
of hard luck. This is, however, what
happened to Joseph Hollingworth, a
citizen of Wisconsin,, on his way to
Cand0, N. D.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hollingworth boarded
the "Flyer" at St. Paul last Wednes-
day afternoon. Being tired from the
journey Mr.. Hollingworth stepped out
in the vestibule to get some fresh air
and also to enjoy . pleasant smoke.
At this side of Delano he looked thru
the door into the coach In which he
had left his wife and found that she
still occupied her seat After this he
sat down son the steps and smoked
some more. Here he was lulled to
sleep by the gentle (?) rocking of the
train and he did not awake before the
train had left Litchfeld. Upon enter
ing his coach he found to his aston
ishment that his hat, grip and better
half had completely disappeared. A
search developed nothing and the man
stepped of the train at Willmar, ar
irving at 1890. Dispatches were sent
to the different stations between this
city and St. Paul, but no wife could
be located. He took the early morn
ing train back to the cities and In.
quired at every station, but his search
was without results. On Thursday
noon he again arrived here and dis
patches were sent to Breckenridge to
find out If she had arrived there,
This was done on the 'supposition
that she had gone into the sleeper
without first notifying her husband. J
But no Mrs. HollingWOrthS could be
found at that place, SO the search was
discontinued. The man left for his
destina alton in the evening, travelling
on q pass issued by the railroad al.

Christian Worker Honored.

A very pleasant social affair took
place last Saturday evening at the B.
F. Jenness homo, where Miss Louise
Fancher was the victim of ''sur.
prise" that had been planned by mem
bers OF the Christian Endeavor society
of the Presbyterian church.
The surprisers met at the church at
1870 and proceeded in body to the
Jenness residence, not forgetting to
provide themselves with the necessary
refreshments that would be essential
in helping make the affair . success.
The party consisted of about twenty.
five young people, and when the un-
hidden guests marched in the hostess
vas taken by complete surprise. A.
ter spending social hour, the sur
prisers made their express purpose
known. They had brought with them
. handsome Syrian bronze clock and
to show their appreciation of Miss
Fancher's efforts in both Christian
Endesvor and Sunday school work
this gift was presented to her. Mrs.
Buell., in behalf of the company as
sembled, made the presentation in .
few well-chosen words. It is needless
to say that it was most happy sur
prise for the hostess, who expressed
her gratitude to her friends in . neat
response.
The hospitality OF the Jenness home
was enjoyed thruout the evening and
games and refreshments served to pass
away q couple of delightful hours. ,
Miss Fancher has been q most active
worker in the Presbyterian church
among the young people and has
gained the high esteem of all who are
connected with church work. She is
the retiring president OF the Young
Peoples society OF Christian Endesvor
and in the Sunday school Is engaged
in teaching the young peoples Bible
class.

The inconveniences suffered by the average citizen for want of iaborers and do- mestic servants Is so great that the people will welcome some device by which the number of able-bodied beggars might he re- dueed and made to earn their own livIi- hood" Tho suggestion is made that muni- ctpaIitIes should move in the matter. provfd- ing shelter and subsistence for the decripit and the incapable. and prohibiting the able bodied from resorting to begging In the streets.
