IMP PORTANT

The Mems Club Banquet at Hotel
Western Monday Night
Well Attended
Auditorium Proposition Thor.
oushly Discussed all Points
~. 81 View i.

The most important function held
in Worthington for q long time was
the.banquet given last Monday night
at the Western Hotel by the Mems
Club, attended by about forty busi-
ness men and citizens. Landlord
and Mrs. Ward certainly provided
q spread that was a credit to their
establishment, and it was thorough
ly enjoyed by all present.
The principal object in giving
the banquet was to bring the bus
ness men of the, city out to
discuss tue question Of securing
an auditorium for Worthinghton
Another and equally important
object was to bring them together
to arouse a more public spirited
interest in the city's welfare.
After the various deleota BILE viands
had been disposed Of the discussion
of the auditorium question was
taken up. Mr.. c.. T. Tupper acted
a. toastmaster and after few
preliminary remarks he introduced
Mr.. A., W. McCallum Of Sibley,
who gave q short but highly inter-
,esting address on .'Civio Improve
ments. y Capt. schaefer, Of Com
pany F., followed with an address
in which he emphasized the great
need of an auditorium. He con-
tended that Wothing ton owed it to
the county to provide an auditor.

asked to donate q cent, the stock
subscribed for will simply be- an in.
vestment, the income from the audi.
torium and the rental from the city
should be sufficient to more than
pay the Indebtedness, in ten years.
This is the only feasible plan sug-
gested so far. It involves no dona-
tions, and no expe nditure by the
city for q building ut the present
time, q thing impossible because
municipal funds are needed for
other purposes, and further the
city could not under the law
operate an opera house any more
than it could grocery or dry goods
store. All other plans would be
wrecked on the rocks of legal OBJ
struction that would inevitably be
raised by those opposed to the
project. &c.,. :
= A motion was made and carried
by q unanimous vote that the chair
man appoint a committee of five to
confer with the village council re-
gariiug the renting of part of the
building and on satisfactory assur-
ance of that body to take steps to
incorporate the company. The
COMMITTEES appointed was VIM.
Chaney, Stanley Moore, u. W. Lear,
G: J. smallwood and G. r. Tupper.
Senator Shell and ". M. Evans have
since been added to the committee.
With such a committee an audi
torium should be practically as
sured. The plan is feasible and
should be easy Of execution. The
interest manifested by those present
at the banquet is . sign that the
plan will meet with favor by the
citizens generally, and we hope to
see q handsome opera house adorn
the city before next fall.

"An editor who would steal

MURDER NOT SUICIDE.
A murder has iust been ,

A murder has just been un-
covered in the village of
Mcleod. The body of Thor
Olson was found on January
10 in a slough. An ugly wound
in the side of the head, and a
revolver lying by the side
seemed strong circumstantial
evidence of suicide, and the
verdict of the coroners jury
gave suicide as the cause of
death.
His relatives suspected foul
play, and lately decided to
have the body exhumed and a
thorough examination made.
This was carried out and DR..
J. r. Allen discovered that it
was not a bullet wound that
killed Olson, but that death
was caused by a blow that
made three fissures in the
skull. The matter was placed
in the hands of the states at
torney, who will endeavor to
find the murderer.
a short time before his death
Olson was drinking with two
men and It is surmised that he
was killed in 9 drunken brawl.

stead of the large holdings
which y have heretofore been
therule, there will be smaller
farms, more farmers and bet
ter farming. Instead of the
one or two crop idea, there will
be q diversification and a rails.
ing of a large number of differ
ent products, together with
stock, ock hogs, horses, poultry,
and the consequent dairy pro-
duct and eggs. This will keep
the farm owner at work in his
own employ for the entire
twelve months of the ) ear, and
ina short time will put him on
a cash basis. as all payments
made within thirty days are &C.
cepted practically az cash pay
ments.
This new method of farming
will be but the application of
business principles, and busi-
ness methods, to the "business"
OF the farmer-the principles
that must be applied to any
thing in which a person is en-
gagged, in order to make it q
success.
Along the Red River Valley,
near to the river itself, where
there has been an excess of
moisture the last two or three
years, which las resulted in
either a failure to get crops
sown, or an impossibility to
remove them after they have
beer grown, the present year
fully demonstrates that timo-
thy, clover, alfalfa, and other
tame grasses can be grown
with the greatest success, and
that they yield a bountiful
crop, besises which they pro-
duce the best kind of pasture.
This demonstration has finally
persuaded the farmers that
they will have no difficulty in
raising stock and hogs, more
especially as it has been proven
for afnumber of years past that
we are within the corn belt,
and that that crop is a success
full one in this state, and can be
relied upon at least five years
out of every six, and perhaps
nine out of every ten.
The one-crop idea, the idea
of wheat and flax farming
alone, is now, by the logic of
facts, an idea of the past, in the
the Red River Valley. 1t has
taken the farmers some time
to get rid of this, and the price
they have paid for their mis-
take has been high one, but
the lesson has been we'll learn.
