somers Men Who Was Alleged to Have
Died From Blow is Now Recovering

Quite little stir in police circles
was caused on Wednesday by the re.
port that Edward Smith, Somers
man who was injured in fight al
Somers last Friday night, had died
from his injuries in Chicago hospi-
tai. This morning the police were
notified that Smith was not dead but
that he was recovering.
Smith was struck by a Kenosha
pugilist and the blow was so we'll
aimed that the Somers man had his
jaw broken. He was taken at once
to a Chicago hospital.
The Kenosha man who struck Smith
was called to the police office on
Wednesday afternoon and declared
that he had struck the man in self de-
tense.

SHOWS AN INCREASE
List of Unredeemed Tax Titles for this
Year Greater than in Previous Year


Year Greater than in Previous Year
County Clerk w. G. Crosby has pre-
pared his annual report Of the num-
Der Of unredeemed tax certificates and
the report shows that there are seven
teen certificates remaining unre-
deemed this year. The number re-
ported for the year 1905 was eleven.
These certificates must be redeemed
before the seventeenth of May of next
year or tax titles will be issued for
the property affected by the certifi-
Gates. Nearly every piece Of proper
ty thus sold for taxes is of little value
and in most cases the amounts de-
manded for the certificates are small.

We are in receipt of book en-

We are in receipt of a book en-
titled "Discovery of the old North
vest" edited by James Baldwin,
author of the Baldwin Series of
Readers and published by the
American Book Co (521- -531, Wab-
ash Ave, Chicago, I|l.) The work
covers the discovery and early
stages Of development of the vast
section west of the Great Lakes
and north of what we term the
Southern States, and is written in
the form of an interesting narrative.
This edition is to be followed later
by another entitled "The Conquest
of the Old Northwest" and the
two books will contain comprehen-
sive account of the development of
this interesting portion Of our
country and Canada, from the dis
covery by Cartier in 1885 to the
completion of the American con-
quest three hundred years later.
The books may be procured from
the American Book Co. at 60 cents
each, and they will be a valuable
addition to any library.

Election Returns.

The vote in Scotland precinct on
Tuesday was quite large for an off
year, the total vote polled being
297. OF these " were straight re-
publican and % straight democrat
ic. The remaining tickets were bad
ly scratc he'd, but tFe average repub-
lican majority was about 100. F.
D. Wicks, for county Judge receiv-
ed the largest vote, getting 249.
Throughout the entire county the
same tendency that was manifested
in Scotland to ignore party lines,
and vote according to the dictates
Of personal friendship seems to
have prevailed AS q result the
democrats elected seven of the off
GERS in the county-Cooley was e.
lected over Stephens for state sem
ator, Mccormick over Bixby for
register Of deeds sKreycik over
Cotton for auditor; Koenig over
Cobb for sheriff; Muller over Rob-
inson for superintendent of schools
and McColluln and Hornstra over
Noble and Jones for county COM
missioners. The returns received
from other counties in the state
are very meagre, but there is no
doubt that the entire state ticket is
elected, the estimated majority be-
ing about 10000.
In quite number OF the coun-
ties the democrats have elected
members of the legislature, either
in whole or in part, notably Davi-
son, Hanson, Hand, Fall River,
Custer, Stanley, Codington, San
born, McCook, Minnehaha, and
Bon Homme, and probably some
others.

This years "boom" in real Is

This years "boom" in real es-
tate has not been confined. to any.
one locality. Indeed, experienced
observers agree that the country
has not known for II generation an
upward movement in lard va|u, S
Sc general as this. From the Con-
tral Atlantic States, across Middle
West, to the Pacific Coast, and in
regions of the South and Southwest
that never before knew this fornl Of
activity an era of high prices !,as
begun and in many places is we'll
advanced. In the neighborhood OF
New York City, especially on Long
Island, there has been within
few months a doubling and trebl-
ing of prices for unimproved lands.

many of the buyers being people IN
moderate circumstances. On the
other hand, farmers within radius
of fifty miles from the city sudden
ly awoke to find their stony and
unproductive fields in unexpected
demand, for the rich city dweller
had seen in them the possibilities
of scepically attractive country es-
tates. Thus in many instances a
lifetime of toll was at last rewarded
by what seemed to the recipient o
fortune of undreamed proportions.
But quite apart from these excep-
tlonal cases, we know that farm
I, values, as such, have steadily risen
! during the past five or six years in
nearly all parts of the country.
The best evidence of this is in the
document just issued by the De-
partment of Agriculture at Wash
ington, which tabulates reports re-
ceived from $1,000 correspondents.
These show that in the years 1902
O5 the value of American farms in
increased 1876 per cent. Of this
total increase of about S7,00O,0O0,
600, more than half is credited to
the North Central States, but the
percentage of gain for cotton lands
was greater than for any others,-
1872 per cent. These are signifi-
cant figures. We are compelled
to believe that by far the greater
part Of this vast increment to the
capitalization OF American farm
lands was Legitimate and normal. =

Mrs. Maret B. Glarum, the aged
mother of O. B. Glarum of this city,
passed to her eternal rest on 2Satur-
day evening at $50 at the home of her
son, with whom she made her home for
the past thirteen years.
Deceased was 81 years and months
of age. Death was due. to a-general
breaking down of the vital forces
consequent upon old age. She had
been confined to her bed for near
ly year and was naturally in very
feeble condition when the end came.
Two sons and daughter survive
their aged mother: Ole Glarum, OF
Bismarck, N. D.; o. B. Glarum OF
Willmar, and Mrs. Raghild Marhaug,
of Kristiansund, Norway. The hus-
band died about 10 years ago and six
years later the widow came from her
native home in Norway to reside in
Willmar with her son.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
Thursday afternoon. At two O'Clock
brief services will be held at the fami-
]y residence and at three O'Clock SER
vices will be held at the Lutheran
Free church. Rev. Michaelson will
officiate at the last sad rites and the
interment will be in the family burial

Frank GustafSon Dead.

Frank J. Gustafson of town of Kan
diyOhi died at his home last Friday
evening. The cause of death was
tuberculosis, from which he had suf-
fered since last spring. Everything
that medical science could do had
been done to check the disease, both
by local physicians and specialists in
the cities, but it was unavailing.
The funeral took place Monday
afternoon at two O'Clock at Tripolis
church, of which deceased was men,
ber, and the remains were inferred in
Tripolis cemetery. Rev. S A Lind
holm officiated in the last sad rites.
Frank j. Gustafson was born in
Vackelsang parish, Smaland, Sweden,
Dec. %, 1919, and had thus attained
an age of nearly 81 years. In 1879 he
came to America, and for the next
two years was employed as section
man at Kandiyohi. Since 1881 he has
been engaged in farming in town of
Kandiyohi.
In 1877 Gustafson was united in
marriage with Ida Gustava Johnson,
who survives him. Seven children
were born to them, of whom three
have died. The following are the sur
viving children: Oscar Erne s t.,
William Ferdinand, Emma Victoria
and Carl Herbert.
