CommendabIe Improvement.

School districts No. So, Is and 30
have obtained loans from the state
fund, which they are expending on
school buildings. District No. 50, in
town of Lake Lillian, will build an
addition to the present schoolhouse at
q cost of about $500. District No. Is,
town of Mamre, is putting up two new
buildings, which when ready will cost
about $500. District No. %, town of
Harrison, has just completed . new
schoolhouse costing shout 5000. It
may be interesting to know further
that during the past two years twenty.
i've districts in this county have put in
heating and ventilating systems. This
is telling proof both of the enter
prisinR spirit of the different districts
and the efficiency Of Supt. Dobbyn.

Rev. Gynild Resians.

Rev. f. f. Gynild, who for the past
IA years has served as pastor for the
Lutheran Free churches of Willmar,
St. Johns and Eagle Lake, has re-.
signed his pastorate. This resigna.
tion was brought about thru the divi:
sion of the charge whereby the Eagle
Lake congregation decided to form a
separate pastorate together with the
Lutheran Orphans Home which IL to
be built rear Eagle Lake this summer.
This necessitated q change, as it
would be impossible for one pastor to
serve these four different charges.
Rev. Gynild has not decided definitely
regarding his future plans.

Lumber Jacks on . Tear. .

~0~SN~
Aahort time before the Flyer ar.
rived &lsst Friday evening Chief OF
Police Bonde and Night Policeman
Stephens were informed by telegram
that their presence and valuable
assistance would be required At the
depot when the train should pull in,
al two lumber jacks who we're among
the passengers that evening, persisted
in raising disturbsr ces and almost
everything else, much to the discon-
future OF the more peacefully inclined
travellers. The police officers at once
made arrangements to take care OF
the ns.of.the-woods and hurried
70 the depot ~ soon as possible.
Meanwhile the train had arrived and
one OF the booze filed individuals
immediately proceeded up town, where
he was found little later. The 9TH
or one was discovered on the platform
In tho act of rolling up his shirt
sleeves preparatory to ''sail in" and
mete out just punishment to each and
every one who had. showed nerve
enough to put him of the train. The
extent Of his stubbornness and grim
determination to ''do something'' may
be imagined from the fact that it was
only after the conductor had broken
his lantern over the would, be pugil-
lists head that he could be imbued
with the idea that the train was not
all his own property. He was finally
quieaed, however, and together with
his companion spent restful nigh,
In the 'cooler. The next morning
they appeared before Judge Muller in
Municipal court. The one answered
to the name OF Mc1ner and when he
Vas asked az to his guilt he answered
guilty yer Honor" in a brogue tha,

The other gave his name as Charlie

to the charge OF disorderly conduct
Each was sentenced to pay a fine Of

Thru arrangements made by the city
officials, Mrs. Hilms Anderson, tho
mother of the familiar individual
known Is "Crazy Mary" was last
Wednesday taken to Hibbing, Minn.,
where she will be cared for by her
son, Walter Anderson. The aged
lady. who 10 now about Is years old,
has made this city her home for the
last eight years but during tho last
two years she was cared for by tho
city, 4 homo being furnished her in
one of tho city houses located In tho
west part OF the First ward. Her
daughter Mary WAS supposed to take
care of her but judging by the filthy
appearance of the house and the des-
titute circumstances in which the old
lady was found, the care bestowed up
on her had been anything but good.
1t is to be hoped that the remaining
part of her life will be more pleasant
than the past two years have been and
that she will receive the best Of At
teution in her new home.

t1n1 AbraoamSon, Z dsuGhter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. E A. Abrahamson, ~
siding four miles southwest OF WILL

noon st II O'Clock. The cause Of
death was tuberculosis of the lungs,
deceased having been afflicted for
more than two years. Last summer
she sought relief in tho pine woods Of
northern Minnesots and for, . time it
seemed - if her condition was i'm.
proving But six months ago occur
red the death of her brother, Abra.
ham; and since then she steadily
failed in health. She endured all ply.
sical paine and suffering without any
complaint, however, and until the very
last she WAS the same kind and loving
daughter and sister. When death
came she was prepared to go and calm
and confident she loft this wearisome
world for tho glories above.
The funeral occurred today, Rev.
e. E. Gynild officiating. Short ser-
vices were held st tho homo .t IL
O'Clock after which tho funeral Ger.
mon was preached at the Lutheran
Free church. The remains we're laid
to rest In the Lutheran Free church

mourn her death ner parents, one
sister, Anna, anu one brother, Ellef,

The grim reaper Death has been
most unkind to the Abrahamson fam
lily: No less than nine times has he
called at their homo and each time he
has removed one of their children.

ENGINE WORKS SOLD.
Kandiyohi County Bank Now
Owner of the WiIImar Case.
line Engine Works.

At Z special meeting OF the stock
holders Of the Willmar Gasoline En-
CINE Works, held last Saturday at the
office of the secretary, H. j. Ramset,,
the majority of the stockholders OF
that corporation decided to sell out
the entire property to J. F. Millard,
vice president Of the X andiyohi Couu-
ty Bank. Mr.. Millard was preseLt as
the representative of the bank and his
bid, which WAS accepted, was S., $50.
This merely covers the present indebt-
edness of the corporation, but Al no
other bid was handed in it was &C.
copied.
The stockholders met pursuant to q
notice framed and published by the
board of directors OF the Gasoline
Engine Works. Those present at the
meeting and the number of shares
represented by each were as follows:
Lars Halvorson, 38; G. P. Karwand,
2: A. E. Rice, 10; 81. J. Ramsett, 2;
Geo. w. johnson, l; S. S. Glarum,
2; and Lewis Johnson, l. After con-
siderable discussion on the part of
those present, regarding the condition
of the corporation and it's financial
troubles, Secretary Ramsett finally
offered the following resolutions:
Whereas, The debts and liabilities
of the corporation ia IS, $50 and tae
corporation has no way or means with
which to pay of came as they mature
In the ordinary cour.e OF business;
and
Whereas, 1t is believed by the stock
holders that greater amount can be
realized for It's assets and liabilities
and all thereof at private sale in bulk
than in any other manner; and
Whereas, The corporation is un-
able to further carry on its business
and as the creditors are about to ep-
force their claims against the corpor-
alton, which act would necessarily
throw the business and property OF
the corporation into the hands of 4
receiver and thus large amount OF
the assets of the corporation would
be wasted and spent in expenses and
fess; therefore We deem it to the in
terest of the corporation to sell out
its entire property to J. F. Millard
Tor thes sum-ot q, ,athat=-all debts
and liabilities now existing against
the corporation might be paid.
This resolution caused q somewhat
lengthy and spirited discussion, coz
siderable opposition being raised by
the minority stockholders, claiming
that the action was too hasty, but was
adopted by vote of Al to Is when put
to q vote.
At q meeting of the board of d.
rectors Immediately after the special
meeting, all bills against the corpor-
alton we're allowed and have now been
paid.
The Kandiyohi County Bank has
not as yet decided what to do with it's
newly acquired property. 1t is not
probable that any action will be taken
to improve the plant for some time.
The Willmar Gasoline Engine
Works was organized In April, 1898,
and was thus about seven years old.
Lars Halvorson acted a. manager
during its entire period Of activity.
The present or rather last board of
directors Of the corporation was COM
posed of Lars Halvorson, president:
G. P. Karwand, vice president; H. J.
Ramsett, SECRETARY and treasurer;
Lewis johnson and Geo. w, johnson.

A Task In Subtraction,

At small school in the backwoods a
well meaning but misguided instructor
gave her pupils as home lesson the
task of subtracting 629 from $50, 49,
$50 until nothing remained. On the
way from school the children rejoiced
at so easy requisition, but once at
work their rejoicing was speedily
turned to sorrow. After working for
hours without any perceptible diminu-
ton Of the figures the youngsters gave
up In despair. Parents then tried, but
with no better success. And small Won
der, In order to complete the task the
number given would have to be sub
tracted 100000 times, leaving small
remainder, Some indignant parent cal
culated that, working ut the rate of
three subtractions a minute for twelve
hours day, the task given the children
for an evenings exercise would require
little more than year and nine
months to accomplish.
