of the best stores in that city, and the
entire building was Quilted by the fire
The second floor was occupied by the
Masonic lodge, which suffered the loss
Of its chapter and commandery fur
nishings and equipments. The lodge
had finely furnished apartments, elab-
crate paraphernalia and uniforms,
ell of which we're destroyed. The loss
is practically covered with an insur-
ance of $1,000. The Masonic bodies
burned out less than three years ago
in the Baldwin fire. DR.. Whitmore,
dentist, also had Offices In the same
buildinp He manapa6 tn save, his
instruments, but suffered loss of
$500 on furnishings, insured for $500.
Adjoining buildings and stocks suffer-

approximates $4,000, three fourths
covered by insurance. The fire origi-
Mated in the basement aad at this

Desire Anti-Spittins Ordinance.

SS"S 5'ss-SPssssSsS " VSstoSSIS.

ment, for splitting on the sidewalks, or
in public places. A walk about the
city will convince even the most
skeptical that such sn~~Qrdinance is
badly needed. Particularly ia the
appearance OF the depot platforms and
certain public corners at times most
disgusting and it is high time that
something is done to have this spit
ting-at-large habit stopped. There is
absolutely no excuse for any gentle
mans turning any public place into a
cuspidor, and considered from q sani-
tartan standpoint this bad practice is
q most dangerous one. The members
of the Woman's Improvement League
are to commended in their continued
efforts towards making Willmar a
clean city and it is to be hoped that
the proposed ordinance will soon be-
come q law.

Prof. Jansrud Resians.

Prot. j. G. Jansrud, who for the past
IL years has been CONF ected with the
Seminary as instructor in the CONNER
cial department, has resigned his posi-
ton, his resignation taking effect At
the close of the present school year.
His reason for severing his conpec-
tion with the Seminary is that he de-.
sires to devote his entire time to the
art Of photography in which he has
been SO pre-eminently successful. In
the person of Prof. Jansrud the in
stitution loses one of it's most efficient
and thorO instructors. During the
years he has been in charge of the
bookkeeping classes he has superin-
tended the work of several hundred
students, q great many of whom were
graduated and now hold positions of
trust In different parts of Minnesota
and other states. Thruout his career
as an instructor he always aimed to
be thor0 and practical and to present
the subject matter at hand in plain
and comprehensive manner and the
success of those who have been under
his tutorship proves conclasively his
ability.
He will be succeeded by Albert
Struxness, OF Portland, N. D. MIR.
Struxness graduated from the Semi.
nary in '94 and for the past six years
he has held the position of commercial
instructor in the BruAat Academy.
He will remove to this city about
June Is and will occupy the Gjems
residence on Nelson avenue in the
First ward. He comes here highly
recommended and he will no doubt
prove q worthy successor to Prof
Jansrud.
