your influence exerted upon the legis:
lators or executive bodies, fair dis
tribution of rates which will not dis.
criminate against individuals or
against localities. In the matter of
transportation I believe it to be Il
scientific fact that the common car.
riers of the country do have a right
and should have a right to discrim.
mate between commodities, but II
to discriminate between individuals
between localities or between com
munities.
Railroad Operators Not Of One Mind.
I am satisfied that this view of the
situation is entertained by at least
some of the railway operators of the
country. A year ago at Chicago
addressed similar views to those pre-.
scented here to body of men In which
there were not less than score of
railway magnates. At the close of the
address one railway president in.
formed me that he concurred in the
general proposition of governmental
regulation; that the rebate and other
evils worked a decided hardship to
the railways themselves, these hard.
ships growing out of the severe de.
mands made by large shippers who
backed their demands by threats of a
they were met.
Remedy is In the Ballot.
II there be abuses of the laws of
transportation, if there be discrimina-
lions against some localities in favor
of others, If individuals suffer that
others may be favored, wherein lies
the remedy? Certainly proper and
complete regulation will afford relief.
This can be secured over two routes,
namely, proper legislation, comforting
the right Of regulation, and then
proper administration of the law. In
q village in Southern Minnesota last
autumn great railway genius advised
the farmer to elect men to legislative
positions who would be true to the
agricultural interests. Is not the ad-
vice given on that occasion pertinent
to this? The remedy for many evils
is the ballot, properly and effectively
used-not with blindness of party
spirit or to promote the interests of
individuals, but used with the broader
idea of promoting the general well
fare and securing more perfect CIV
ilization, based, as it must be, on the
principles of justice, equality and fair.

Year WAS PROSPEROUS
Report Of Willmar Public Library for
Past Year as Submitted ut Annual
Meeting Held Recently.

To the Honorable Library Board:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:- have
the honor to submit the annual report
of the Willmar Public Library for the
year ending December 81, 1905 That
the year has been prosperous one
the following figures will indicate:
The library was open for the circu-
lation of books 300 days, including all
holidays except three. The reading
rooms we're open every Sunday except
during August, when the attendance
did not warrant it.
The total number of books taken
home amounted to II, 112, the circula-
ton in fiction exceeding any other
class, though the largest gain was in
non-fction. The adult fiction num-
bered 1854 and juvenile fiction $40,
and the non-fiction amounting to 476
adult and 523 juvenile.
The accession list now numbers
1927 books, of which 215 have been
added by purchase during the year.
116 books have been donated to the
library. The Seven Day Book plan
was adopted the first of the year.
This plan enables the people who are
DESTROYS of the latest books to get
them in shorter time, as they can
only be kept by one person a week.
The Pay Shelf system was also adopted
in March. There is always great de-
mand for the late fiction, and this plan
enables the. library to keep these
books. In this way the books pay for
themselves. This is q very satisfac-
tory plan. The five books that have
been circulated the most during the
year are ''The Lightning Conductor"
by G. N. and A. M. Williamson,
"Graustark" by G. McCutcheon,
"The Main Chance" by Meridith Nj
cholson, "In Search of the Unknown"
by Robert W. Chambers and the
"Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come, -
by John Fox.
The patronage Of the reading room
was fair. In the adult room the at
tendance was 1910. The first of the
year the Sunday evening opening was
discontinued owing to lack of patron
age. The average Sunday attendance
thruout the year was IA, the largest
Sunday attendance being % on JAN
uary 20. The Declaration of Inde-
pendence and the Magma Charta were
attractively framed and hung in this
room. Recently posters advertising
the library were put up in the various
public buildings calling attention to
the library with a general invitation
to come and read.

CATION, and many Of its friends in the
city were present in q body ia the
church parlors to surprise the new
pastor, N. B. Michaelson, and wife
last Wednesday evening. The worthy
pastor and his wife were entirely ig-
norant OF what was in store for them.
The pastor had an appointment with
the church choir that eveing, and when
he entered the church basement with
his choir music under his arm he was
greeted by the smiles from q sea of
faces and was given a rotnd Of ap-
plause from the gathered multitude
which filled every available space.
a committee was promptly sent after
Mrs. Nicholson, and after her ar
rival, Erick Holt, who had acted as
temporary chairman, was succeeded
by T. o. Gilbert, who became the
spokesman of those assembled in stat
ing the objects of the gathering. This
he did in graceful manner. AS an
earnest of the kind wishes of those as
sembled the spokesman presented the
pastor and wife with two sacks of
money, ''one large one from the young
people and one still larger from the
grown people," The sacks were said
to contain about. $4,000. The pastor
responded to the remarks of Mr.. Gill
bert. Rev. Michaelson said tina. this
was the largest ''choir" he had ever
met with in his experience. On COM
Ing towards the church he had seen
some figures hurrying on ahead of him
with packages under their arms and
he had asked himself ''are we now to
have coffee again?" Casting q sig
niticant glance at the kitchen he said,
''and I wouldn't wonder if we will
have coffee before we get through.
"Willmar is certainly coffee town."
the speaker observed. Lapsing into
more serious vein, he spoke feeling
ly of the manner he had been welcomed
to Willmar, and he hoped to be able
to prove worthy of the confidence and
esteem shown him by his parishion-
ers and friends. An excellent musical
program was then rendered. The
church choir sang several selections,
Thorn Rohrt, a student of the Semi
nary, rendered q piccolo solo, John
Otos gave cornet solo, and little
Misses Ethel Govig and Borghild
Sand played piano duet, all OF which
were enthusiastically applauded. Cof-
fee and cake were then served to all
those present, and after a good social
session the assemblage dispersed to
the various homes of those partici-
pating. Rev. Michaelson has in an
unusual degree won the personal es-
TEEN and regard of his congregation,
a fact of which the gathering last
Wednesday night abundantly testiies.

Lillian creamery burned and the one
in Winfield township.

Hans Holm, who tends bar for Erick
Erickson, was shot by Peter j. John
son at Lowry a week ago Monday in
the saloon. The victim will probably
not die from the wound, but Pope
county has TO prosecute the assailant
for assault with intent to kill. And
the pity of it, that such people as the
names would indicate them to be will
persist in disgracing themselves by
such business.

The Litchfeld Carnegie library drew
1895 from taxation from the city, paid
out $183 81 for heat, S120 for janitor,
500 for insurance, 1896 for salaries,
$224.93 for books, $3.50 for periodi-
Gals, besides other expenditures for in
cidentals, and closed the year with
$571.05 on hand. They did not receive
any aid from the county for buying
all the latest novels, but they used
those they have to good advantage,
for the total number of loans of books
for home use during the year amounts
to II, 1856.

Dead Cock and Bad Walker.

II the votes Of Geo. W. Stone, of
Webster county and Munnell Wilson. Of
Hopkins county in the senatorial race
Is a sample of the representation these
counties will get in the legislature il is
little they may expect. The voice Of
the people is the voice Of God. yet By
their actions they have said /" the peo-
pie be damned" An idiot could not
have gone through Webster and Hop
kins counties without gazing the knowl-
edge that the people were overwhelm-
ingly for Blackburn and strong petitions
we're forwarded TO them to 50 cast their
votes. These were contemntuously
ignored. What u contrast between
these two would be statesmen and
Senator Maxwell. IL is a pretty well
known fact that Senator Blackburn was
not Mr.. MaXwelrs personal choice but
he saw that his constituents wanted
Blackburn and he waived his own pri-
yate feelings in the matter TO crafty
the wishes ofthe people he represented.
Walking Nun" might as well sup
press those congressional aspirations Of
his now. for he will never walk over
the necks Of the people again. As To
Mr.. Stone he is dead cock In the pit.
