Dedicatory Services.

Sunday, June 26, will mark an i'm
portant era in the history of the
Lutheran Free church of this city.
On that day the splendid church editice,
erected q year ago, will be dedicated.
From the establishment of the
church in this city, it has steadily in
creased in membership and it was
soon found that the old church was
too small. A movement was started
to build new church and the result
was house of worship that is an
ornament to the city and just cause
OF pride to every mt mber of the
church. Rev. Sven Oftedahl of Mimi
eapolis willHpreach the dedicat' on
sermon in the morning at 10 O'Clock
and no doubt the capacity of the
church will be tested to it's utmost
limit upon that occasion.
Previous to the dedication, begin.
ming June % and ending June Is, a
"Samtalm0de" will be held at the
church. Several ministers from out
aof-town points are expected to be pres
ent and also large gathering of
Lutherans from this district. Every
body will be welcomed to these meet
ings and it is hoped that they will be
q source of blessing to all who attend.
There will be both afternoon and eve.
ming sessions but the time for these
has not yet been ascertained.

Old Resident Passes Away.

John J. Nygaard, respected resi-
dent of the Fourth ward, passed away
last Monday evening. The immediate
cause OF death was tuberculosis of the
lungs, deceased having been afflicted
for the past three months. For the
past 80 years he had had several at
tacks of pneumonia and consequently
his lungs were too weak to resist the
onset of the tuberculosis germs. All
that medical aid could do was done
but to no avail. He was II years of
age.
The funeral will occur on Thursday
afternoon. Brief services will be con-
Quoted at the home at 2 o'clock, after
which the funeral sermon will be
preached in the Lutheran Free church
by Rev. Gynild. Tho interment will
be in the Lutheran Free church ceme-
terry at Eagle Lake.
Deceased was one of the earliest
settlers in the county, coming to Dovre
in 81. Here he resided till '93, when
he moved to the city, where he worked
as carpenter as long as he was able
It may be interesting to know that he
built some of the first houses In Will
mar. He was loved and respected by
q large circle of friends who are left
to mourn his death. Deceased leaves
four sons, J. B., of Dovre, E. T., OF
St. Paul, John and Chris, of this
city.

VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS
Without a Dissenting Vote the Will.
mar City Council Voted to Ad.
NIT the Tri.State Company.

A number of people interested in the
telephone franchise question gathered
at the lecture room of the library
building last Monday evening to w.t.
ness the disposition of the question
whether or not competing telephone
line was to be permitted entrance to
Willmar, among them q number of
farmers interested in farmers Cooper
alive lines. The argument before the
council was very brief. President E.
H. Moulton of the Tri-State company
presented his side of the question, and
Mr.. Tallman of the Minnesota Central
made brief rejoinder. The council
then went into executive session, which
lasted about an hour. When the pub
lie again was admitted the announce
ment Was made that the members of
the council had unanimously agreed
to q resolution which admits the Tri-
State company on the payment Of one
thousand dollars into the city treas
ury and on condition of complying to
certain requirements in regard to the
painting OF poles, etc. The city coun-
Gil thus effectually went on record as
favoripg the admission Of competing
telephone lines, at the same time that
the stringent conditions imposed seems
to indicate that those who hereafter
wish to secure public franchises At
Willmar will be expected to not only
come down handsomely to the city
treasury, but also maintain their lines
and poles in q neat and trim manner.
Our editorial comment is reserved for
our next issue.

1t Is feared that she may be internally
Injured, however. The train was run

FOUND A FL0ATER
Body of Infant Child Discovered in
Water near Foot Lake Bridge
Last Sunday.

A baby girl, large and we'll de-
veloped, was found floating on the
surface of the waters Of Foot Lake last
Sunday afternoon. The discovery
was made by party OF small boys,
who had noticed mysterious looking
package near the west end of the bridge
commonly known "a Foot Lake dump,
on the north side. The attention OF
several pedestrians was attracted to
the obi Ct, when older persons finally
brought it to shore. An examination
revealed dead baby, which had been
wrapped in an old black skirt and also
part OF the Daily News bearing date
of May p.
The discovery was reported to Cor
oner f. s. Frost, who viewed the body,
and it was at once taken to the under
taking rooms of Andrew Peterson.
The coroner's examination reveals the
fact that the child had died at birth
and had not breathed. The probabil.
tiles are that the mother was alone,
unaided at its birth.
The case is wrapped in mystery, and
tho true condition of things surround
ing the birth can only be surmised.
The date on the scrap of the St. Paul
Daily News is the only reliable infor.
nation that the child found its watery
grave not earlier than May p. The
body was quite we'll preserved, altho
beginning to show signs of decomposi-
ton. 1t was placed in embalming
fluid at the morgue, awaiting further
orc ers from the authorities, and was
later DreDared for burial.

FALLS. FROM TRAIN
Amy Olson is the Victim of a Seri.
Gus Accident While on Excur.
sion Train in Missouri.

~~~~k>A~A@S AAS000sO lOC01vCu ucT0
Monday evening by Axel Elfstrum an
nounced an accident that had befal]en
his neice, Miss Amy Olson, who was a
member OF the editorial excursion
party that visited St. Louis last week
and which returned to St. Paul Mon.
day afternoon. The announcement
came from Grand Recorder Charles
Larson, of st. Paul, who stated that
The young lady was badly injured
while on the homeward trip from the
fair, but nothing definite was given as
to the nature of the accident and no
further particulars were obtainable.
At the same time the news was re-
ceived here of the wrecking of a Min
neapolis & St. Louis excursion train
and that many persons were injured,
AS reports were meager and it was
feared that the ill-fated train was the
one containing the Minnesota editorial
party there was great anxiety in this
city on the part of relatives and
friends of those on board.
Miss Lillian johnson was a member
OF the same party with Miss Olson and
when the report of an accident came
to the family here the worst fears we're
Telephone and tele-
graphic messages were sent from this
point to ascertain the true nature of
affairs and it was late in the evening
when the message came telling of more
reliable news. It was then learned
that the M. & St. L. train wrecked was
one which had met another In q col.
lision in the Minneapolis Union depot
yards Sunday night, and that quite a
number were injured in this accident,
while the editorial train was safe and
had reached St. Paul Monday AFTER
noon at 4:30. The accident regarding
Miss Olson, however, was true, and q
reply to telephone message sent to
the St. Paul Globe announced that
she had fallen off the train near Mil
lard, Mo-, and that her injuries were
quite serious.
Later accounts yesterday in the dai-
lies give full particulars of the acci-
dent. It seems that Miss Olson had
fallen of the train while passing from
one sleeping car to another and it is
thought that she had accidentally been
threwn1of the zcar through an open
vestibule door during q lurching of
the train. This was late at night and
her absence was not discovered until
8 O'Clock the next morning. A tele-
gram reached the excursion train at
II O'Clock, apprising' them of Miss
Olson's accident, and members of the
party returned from Albert Lea to 90
to her aid. She had been thrown by
the momentum of the train clear of the
right of way and into a farmers field.
When found by the farmer she was in
an unconscious condition, having re-
mained there all night. From her
railroad transportation, which she
had upon her person, her identity was
made known to the people by whom
she was cared for. Her step-mother,
Mrs. Frances Buell. Olson, who was
the convention of the Su-
perior Lodge of the D. of H. at Chat
tanooga, Tenn, was sent for and rela-
tives and friends are now attending
her in the Missouri town. A report
received here at this writing states
