Anent Sunday Ball Playing.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: It has been pub
lished time and again, that the Tripo-
lis team has played Sunday afternoon
with some other team and won. We
resent this notoriety. 1t might be
inferred from these publications that
we around here are heap of Sabbath
desecrators. Tripolis is the corporate
name of the Lutheran church here and
this church has ever believed, taught
and practiced, that work and sport
and worldly pursuits on the Lords
day are transgressions of both divine
and civil law. In the face of this we
cannot see why. those who insist on
misusing the Lords day do not go
out to some obscure corner of the
woods and keep their doings from
public gaze, rather than giving public
otfense, which reflects on the whole
community. Shall it be necessary
to appeal to the civil courts in order
to be freed from this boisterous
gatherings on the Lords day? We
only ask. S. A. L1NDHOLM.

Died on Wedding Tour,

Prof. Frank Mcintyre, for many
years superintendent of the Glenwood
schools and recently elected superin-
tendent of the St: Cloud schools, died
July "a, at Rome. The cause of death
was typhoid fever. Mr.. Mcintyre was
married June 7, 1906, to Miss Mary
Crozier of MONTICELLO, Minn., and
they were on their wedding trip thru
Europe when the sad event took place.
Prof. Mcintyre was IS years old,
and had already made his name we'll
known as one of the best educators in
the state, having repeatedly been en-
ployed by the state in summer school
and institute work.

honors for Skrefsrud.

The following from the "Normanna-
heimen" department in the Minneapo-
lis Journal will be of interest to a
number of readers of the TRIBUNE, es-
pecially friends of Rev. L. O. Skrefs-
rud, who will be remembered as the
missionary who visited Willmar on
the occasion of the big gathering of
Norwegian Lutheran Free church peo-
pie some years aga:
L. o. Skrefsrud, the Norwegian mis-
sionary, who has spent a lifetime in
Christianizing and civilizing the ma
tives of Santhalistan, India, has been
decorated by the British government
with the Kaisar-i-Hind. med al for pub
lie service in India, 6rst-class. The
work done by Missionaries Borresen
and Skrefsrud in Santhalistan has
long been appreciated by the Indian
officials and: altho the two men re-
ceived no particular recognition they
stood high in the esteem of the Off
cials and were accorded high praise
at least. The argument so often heard
that foreign. missions are barren of
practical results is not true in San
thalistan at least, where a large num-
Der of natives have been lifted from
the most abject savagery to compare
tive industry and prosperity.

Charged With Assault.

State of Minnesota VS.. Thomas
Blair is the title of a case that was
given it's first airing in municipal
court last Monday afternoon. The
complaining witness was Hemming E.
Anderson of East Lake Lillian, and
the charge is assault in the third de-
gree. Blair was arraigned before
Judge Muller and pleaded not guilty.
The case was set for hearing at the
general term to be held next Tuesday,
and the prisoner gave bail for his ap-
pearance in the sum of $40.
Blair was employed on the Ander-
son farm, and was charged by his
employer with having struck him with
a pltchfork, inficting such injuries
upon his person that it was necessary
to have them attended to by Will
mar physician. Anderson's head GER
tainly showed unmistakable signs of
having come in contact with some
hard object, as it was badly SCARED
and cut, as we're also his face and
hands.
An interesting feature that is likely
to be brought up is the fact that An
derson had had a runaway the same
day that it is claimed he received his
injuries at the hands of his employe
and in which he had been quite severe
ly injured. The warrant for Blair's
arrest was sworn out last Friday, the
day following the accident. Some in
teresting developments are expected.

the responses in a manner that added
greatly to the impressiveness of tJis
festive occasion. The ordination SER
mon was delivered by Prof. Brandt,
and he used as his text l Cor. 2: 2.
This address was a masterly effort.
Then followed special anthem by the.

port and in debt. The farmers who
have adopted the mixed farming sys-
tenn are more fortunate, as they will
have something to fall back upon.
Altho there was a fierce display of
lightning during the storm so far
there have been only two cases re-
ported of damage done by lightning.
John Anderson of Fahlun had two
horses killed. A bolt struck the Min
nesota & Western grain elevator,
tearing hole in the cupola and then
following the electric light wires down
to the bottom of a shaft, where it set
fire to some waste. Fortunately some
Of the employees were present and the
fire was put out before doing any
damage.
Geo. Irving & CO. suffered con-
siderable loss by the smashing Of the
glass in their new green house in the
western part of the city.
Later information indicates that the
southern part. of the county than at
first reported. In town of Lake Lii
lian the loss is almost total. The
area of destruction goes from the
western part of the town to A. E An
derson's place in the eastern part
Then there is jump OF three miles to
Thorpe, where the hail began again,
sweeping the southern part of East
Lake Lillian and thence into Renville
county. Mcleod and Sibley counties
were also visited by the storm In
the vicinity of Buffalo Lake, Renville
county, 100 farms are said to be en-
tirely devastated.
Almost every windmill in the south
ern p art of the county was torn down,
and many buildings destroyed Or
damaged. On the William Lund farm
on the east bank of Big Kandiyohi
lake the storm developed into tor
nado that swept a narrow path thru
the woods, tearing up or breaking
every tree in its path. ..~-.>.s ~>~>e..~.
James Craswe1l, who has charge OF
the Craswell farm just west of the city,
reports that besides suffering a total
loss of grain on the farm the house
received a thoro drenching from the
heavy rain which fell on account of
the broken window lights, nearly every
window being smashed by the heavy
hailstones which fell. The contents of
the home received a good soaking.
The same experience was undergone
by a number of others living in the
path of the storm.

HORTICULTURAL FAIR.
Arrangements Being Made for an Ex-
hibit of Farm Products the Latter
Part Of September.

A committee from the horticultural
society met last night with the officers
OF the Street fair association to con-
slider the matter of arranging for an
exhibit of farm products the coming
fall. The horticultural society will
have the management of the affair,
and the money received from the state
for last years fair will be turned over
to this society. 1t is the purpose of
the managers to offer liberal premiums
for exhibits of fruit, vegetables and
grains. Another meeting will be held
on Friday evening of this week to
complete arrangements, and full de-
tails will be published in our next
issue. The fair will be held about
Sept. 20, and will last for two or three
days. A good speaker will be pro-
vided for the second day of the fair
1t is not the intention to erect any
booths, but large building will be
rented for the exhibit. A band will
probably be engaged to furnish music,
and it is possible that some other
entertainment features will be secured.
The main purpose, however, will be to
exhibit the agricultural products of
this county and offer premiums that it
will make it worth while for the far
mers to compete for them.
