organization known as the Willmar
Dairy Association met last Saturday
afternoon at the home of one of the

They Saw Patti.

Several Willmsrites were In the
large audience at the Interrational
Auditorium in Minneapolis last
Wednesday evening to get . glimpse
of Adelina Patti, who In her time has
been the worlds greatest singer.
Though not at present possessing the
marvellous voice with which the "Queeu
OF Song" in years gone by sang to
admiring audiences, the thousands
who we're gathered in the vast audi.
torium during her Minneapolis en-.
gagement showed their appreciation
of the diva's efforts with fire. quent ap.
plause. PATHS company of support
ing artists assisted in giving some ex-
ceptionally fine numbers, and some o1
these were even more applauded than
the great singer. In spite of her ad-
varced age, the great songstress still
possesses good share of her re.
markable voice. Patti appeared in
only two numbers on the program,
but the encores given by the large
audience demanded her re-sppearance
on the stage several times, and she
graciously responded, The most &C.
ceptable number wh Oh she sang was
Home, Sweet Home" whicn was fol.
lowed by thunderous applause.

Nearly Ready for Opening.

Nearly Ready for Opening.
The Carnegie library board held it's
regular monthly meeting on Monday
evening at the Office Of President TALL
man. The committee on books re-
ported that the first installment of
books had been ordered and it is ex-
pected that they will be here at an
early date. Arrangements were made
to advertise for bids for the finishing
of the walls in stenciling in the new
building. The furniture committee re-
ported that the furniture would be
here about the first of February, at
which time the book stacks would also
arrive. Several other matters were
brought up regarding the library.
It is now expected that the building
will be ready for occupancy the early
part of February, as the interior work
is nearly completed. The carpets ar.
rived few days ago and will soon be
placed on the floors. 1t Is the present
plan to open the libra to the public
by giving big supper, at which time
everybody will have an opportunity
to inspect the place. Three of the
lady members of the board are men,
bers OF the Monday Afternoon Club
and will probably be assisted by tie
latter organization in making the
opening big success. A small fee
will be charged for the supper, and
the proceeds will go towards the fund
for purchasing books.
The carpenters expected to complete
their work today and parties are pres
ent figuring on the decorative work on
the interior, such as stenciling, ETC.
All that practically remains now is to
put on the finishing touches to the in.
terror.
