The weather is fine ut present.
Much sickness is prevailing in this
section of the country at present.
Ernest w. Freed has entered the SER
vice of Swan Fleckten for some time.
The general merchants at Kandiyohi
are doing a rushing business at pres
ent
Bang! can be heard all around the
lakes at present. Ducks are reported
to be plentiful this spring
The TRIBUNE deserves much credit
for the work done in maintaining the
present dry government at Willmar.
Misses Edith and Olga Lindholm,
who are attending the Willmar Semi

Roads have been in bad condition
for the last three weeks They are i'm
proving little now and will soon be
in better condition.
The young peoples society of the
TripOlis Lutheran church met Friday,
week ago, in the church school-room.
a good program was rendered.
Victor Fleckten left for Kenmare, N.
D., last Wednesday. He has been
running his fathers farm for the last
four years and will now take charge
of his own farm near Kenmare.
~ Mrs. Hllma Chelfberg died at he1.
home in this town last Wednesday.
She was 78 years old and leaves two
sons and husband. The funeral took
place at the Tripoljs Lutheran church
last Sunday at 3 o'clock.
Some farmers in this town have
started seeding and others are pre-.
pared and will start as soon as the
weather and soil permit. Seeding is a
little behind time this year and will
undoubtedly be pushed with better
rush than usual.
It affords Paul much amusement to
read the ea'correspondents items in
the Gazette. In his items of last week
he had about ten inches of dirty gath
erings which have appeared in print
in the items of some Of the Gazette re-
porters for the last two months. He
has nothing else to put up and we can
not blame him very much. He says
that mud thrown at the Thorpe cor
respondent by his interiors will not
injure or ruin in the least and we hope
he will not pay any attention to the
abuse heaped at his feet. Now the
worst mud-throwers in this county are
the Thorpe reporter and his fellow
scribe, the Svea wreck, which can be
plainly seen by intelligent people. He
says that there remain but few strug-
Cling correspondents to uphold the in
terest of the TRIBUNE We are sorry
for you. You would most certainly
need new pair of eyes. Have you
ever compared the number of cor
respondents in the two papers and
found out the difference and did you
ever notice when you read the items Of
the reporters of the two papers which
contain the most news? 1 have, and
am pleased to say that the TRIBUNE is
far better off than the Gazette. Now
when you again decide to criticise the
TRIBUNE and its correspondents try to
speak for once when Dick some time
ago said that the Thorpe reporter
must some time have been an inmate
of an insane ASYLUM. When we take
everything into consideration we can
not blame him at all. Hoping to see
the Gazette reporters injecting at least
trihe of truth into their items in the
future I remain, cordially yours,
- PAUL.

1t Will be pleasant news to the many
friends OF Prof. H. S Hilleboe, who

to be congratulated upon its success
in securing the services of one who so
ably demonstrated in times past his
efficiency as head of that popular in
stitutiOn and there is no question
about the coming year being one of
the most successful in the history of
the school. During the years that he
has served as city superintendent at

one Of the ablest educators ever placed
at the head of the schools and that

were reelected as members of the
faculty for the next school year.
There are yet scme vac ancies to be
filled later. No successor to Prof.
Hanson has as yet been chosen and
the resignation Of Prof. Omlie will
also necessitate the casting about for
q successor. In the resignation OF the
latter gentleman the board loses one
of It's Oldest instructors in point of
service, Mr.. Omlie having been con-
nected with the Seminary for many
voars

DANGER OF GRADE CROSSING
Was Demonstrated at Main Street
Bridge Approach Today.
From Tuesdays Daily.

Needless of the ringing of the warning
gongs of the railroad gate tower, a man
drove under the descending gates guard
ing the east side of the Omaha and
Northwestern crossing at Main street
about noon today, and, not being able to
drive upon the bridge before the gates on
that side of the crossing came down,
he was imprisoned between the gates,
with his horses standing upon the North
western track, upon which switch en-
gine was approaching from the north.
Luckily the engine was not making
great speed, as she was simply coming
down to take the sleeper from the North
western train. The endangered man
backed his horse about in such way
as to get both the horse and the buggy
on the Omaha track in time to allow the
Northwestern engine to pass without
striking either the horse or the buggy.
The danger of the Main street rail-
road crossing is generally recognized,
yet there are many who seem totally re-
gardless of the perils of running under a
descending gate. The gates are so con-
structed, that, when once on the descent,
they cannot be raised until they have
gone completely down.

JACKSON is OUSTED.
Head Of Farmers Exchange Was Al
together Too Previous.

Luverne, Minn., Oct. l4.-C. E. Jack
son of st. Cloud, who made himself
prominent in the recent primary contest
in the second congressional district by
signing letter entitled "The Cost of
Free LUMBER" has been called to ac-
count, and is no longer president of
the Minnesota Farmers exchange.
1t is charged that Mr.. Jackson used
his position as president of the Min
nesOta Farmers exchange to make it
appear that he is farmer himself, and
in that capacity signed a letter making
it appear that the removal of the tariff
on lumber would require the removal of
the tariff on butter, eggs and barley.
As soon as the facts came to the at
tention of the directors of the exchange
they took prompt action, and the re-
suit is given in the following letter
sent by them to III. j. Miller of this city,
against whom the attack was made. The
letter says:
'Dear Sir: Will you please state in
your paper that Mr.. jackson was not
authorized to use the Minnesota Farm
ers' exchange as a catspaw in the late
contest, and that his resignation was de-
manded by the directors of the Minneso-
to Farmers exchange, and he is no long
er on our board. The Farmers exchange
is a legitimate organization and does not
wish to be considered a political cats
paw. If you will kindly give this pub
licity you will confer a favor upon
some actual farmers who are trying to
help themselves and like cheaper lum-
Der, too."

Collection of Birds and AMI
mails to Be Donated.
Only the Cost Of Mounting Will
Have to Be Paid.
Hunters and Fishermen Enthus-
iastic Over the Plan.
From Tuesdays Daily.

Some time ago there was talk of the
council or library board purchasing the
collection of mounted birds and animals
of j. B. Bean of Nicollet county, but
the plan did not meet with much favor,
on account of the expense. All felt that
such collection would be good thing
to have.
y plan has now been proposed where
by the city can get fine collection, at
merely nominal expense, in fact, mere
ly the cost of mounting. 1t is proposed
that the local hunters get the collection,
the library board or council to pay for
the mounting. In this way, fresh col
lection can be had, and the expense will
be small, and spread over series of
years. As it is proposed that the name
of the party shooting and donating the
specimen to the city shall be attached
to it with card, this very fact will
add interest to the collection, for all of
lIe HuHteiS VIII Uc lhtcltSleu, dS WeH
as every citizen.
1t is proposed that the library board
appoint committee to accept or reject
the specimens offered, so that there may
be no duplictions, and only the biggest
and incest specimens of each kind had.
The taxidermy will be done by local
men skilled in this, thus keeping at home
what little expense will be attached to
the collection.
There is fine large room in the base
ment of the library building at present
unfinished, that would make fine place
for museum. In few years a collec-
tion that would include every native
bird, fish and animal would be had.
John r. Thomas will lead off by hav-
ing the large pelican shot at Loon lake
Sunday mounted, and if the plan goes
through he will donate it to the library,
it to pay for the mounting. 1t is the
finest pelican ever seen by local hunt
ers. Other hunters and fishermen have
promised to do the same thing, and a
good deal of enthusiasm has been arous-
ed among them.
The matter is to be brought up at the
next meeting of the library board, Nov.
lst, when it is hoped that the board will
take favorable action. The matter will
probably also be brought to the attention
of the council, for assistance, as cases
will have to be purchased.
