which he had been sufferer at fre.
quent intervals during his jllness.
Mr.. Stansberry had recovered suffi.
ciently to enable him to leave las,
Saturday evening for Phoenix, Ari.

by the change of climate and to re.
cover bis full strength. He expects to
remain there about a couple OF months,
when he will return to Willmar. He
was accompanied as far as Seattle,

Steps are being taken for the organi-
zation of a stock company to manu-
facture the roller shade adjuster de-
signed and patented by J. c. Fors-
berg of this city. The corporation
will be known as The Shade Adjuster
Company. The capital stock will be
$4,000, divided into $500 shares at
ten dollars each. OF this 800 shares
will be sold and the other 200 will be
kept in reserve. A number of busi.
ness men have taken hold of the matter
and are determined to push it to a
successful issue, believing that they
have a good thing. A large number
of shares has already been spoken
for and the balance will probably be
taken in short time.
