Returns from the Coast.

Gabriel Stene, of Lake Andrew, who
has spent the past four months at
Pacific coast points, arrived in Will
mar last Thursday evening from what
he considered one of the most enjoy.
able trips OF his. life. During his
sojourn in the West, he visited with
many former Kandiyohi county peo.
pie and greatly enjoyed their hospi-
tality. Many points Of interest were
visited and the climate proved very
beneficial to his health. He now looks
quite robust and has added several
pounds to his weight. Our readers
have greatly enjoyed the letters re.
ceived from him during his visit and
will be glad to welcome him back to
good old Kandiyohis county. Mr..
Stene left on Friday afternoon for his

the best ever heard in our city,, AS
this Is the last attraction in the pres
ent series of the Citizens Entertain
ment Course all of the patrons will

house will have. one of the largest
audiences of the season.
The greatest company of colored
artists that has ever appeared here,
has been the universal verdict of press
and public wherever this superb at
traction has appeared thruout America.
They are unquestionably the ideal
colored artists of America, having
given over tour thousand concerts to
date, and it is the only colored organi-
zation that has ever appeared in the
larger lecture courses of this country.
From Boston to Frisco they have
appeared in every large city, and. in
every tirst-class lecture course, and
they have been the one colored> COM
pany thus recognized. They have
played more return dates than any
musical organization in the country,
and are recognized as the one and
only colored attraction. They give a
varied program, including the old
time jubilees, as we'll as the up-to-
date numbers. The company consists
OF five male and three female voices.
Among the many press notices given
this company is the following from
the GAINESVILLE (Ohio) Enterprise:
The Slayton Jubilee Singers who
appeared at Moore's Opera House,
Friday evening, the last entertain
ment OF the Library Lecture Course,
was the grandest company of colored
artists that has ever appeared in
Barnesville. The large and cultured
audience was enthusiastic from start
to finish. Each number was encored
and the program doubled. They sang
in solos, duets, quartets and choruses
some Of the old mel0dious plantation
songs that lull the mind into sweet
peace and cause the heartstrings to
loosen. Each member of the company,
is musician, and they all have rich
melodious voices and know how to
use them.

verv-. True. I

The farm help proposition is becom-
ing more and more of serious one.
The owner of a large farm told us a
few days ago that he was sorely temp
ted to seed down his entire farm and
let it grow into q wilderness. Men
who are willing to do farm work de-
mand such high wages that it takes
all the profit of the farm to pay them,
he said, and few: if any are reliable
and trustworthy, in his experience.
The farmer who has family of boys
and girls able and willing to do the
work of the farm and save, the ex-
pense of hired men, is very fortunate
man indeed. Leader.
The above is the same situation that
is confronting some of the farmers in
Kandiyohi county. We have heard
Of instances where as high wages as
$50 per month are demanded. The
employing farmer feels that when he
pays that amount besides furnishing
the board it cuts considerably into his
profits. ,..: = :.<-..> -..~ M

experienced hair-breadth escapes.
Among Willmar people who were
anxiously awaiting news from the
stricken city is Mrs. c.. A. Green
whose son Edgar was an employe al
the California Electrical Works. Mrs
Green experienced much anxiety as tc
the safety of her son until yesterday
morning, when she received 3 telegram
from him to the effect that he was
safe but had lost everything and was
at present doing surgical work. Mr.
Green had been in San francisco
since January at which time he had
returned from service in the navy
being stationed on the battleshiI
Oregon. He had spent a great share
of the time at Japan and China.

after. When asked if there was an in
tense feeling again Mr.. Phalenl at
Willmar the TRIBUNE man said there
lis no personal feeling against him.
He is known at Willmar only by a
very few people But that it was the
principle of the thing about which the
people of Willmar were concerned.
The question was whether the tele-
phone company has the right to bring
in it's men from east, west, south or
north to decide upon important
policies for the people residing at
Willmar. ..,.r
During the brief time that he spent
at Paynesville, the TRIBUNE man
learned some interesting things. He
was somewhat surprised to. be told
that temperance sentiment is quite
strong, and only needs crystalization
and competent leadership to sweep the
saloons from the place. Various
opinions were heard upon the Phalen
case. 1t seemed to be taken for grant
ed with many that if there was any
doubt as to Phalen's residence at
Paynesville before, his taking part
and voting as a.. citizen there March
Is, when there was no contest or is
sue at stake, removed it. However,
every man interviewed seemed to en-
tertain high regard for Mr.. Phalen,
and were anxious that any blame or
odium to be attached should 90 to
those who were directly interested in
the election result at Willmar and to
oblige whom he no doubt voted at
Willmar.
