his bedroom with texts he still kept
on his boyish escapades, necessitat-

\ popular but rare stone is the
alexandrite, which owes its name to
quite a peculiar series of coincl-
dences. On the day of the coming
of age of the Emperor Alexander of
Russia the discovery of new va
rictv of mineral was made in the
emerald mines of the Catherine
mountains. This stone varied in
color from emerald to the darkest
green, having often reddish tint.
Its especial popularity is that when
exposed to artificial light its color
changes entirely to a beautiful red.
As green and red are the national
colors of Russia and in commemora-
tive honor of the day on which the
stone was discovered, the name al
exandrite was given the mineral and
the custom inaugurated of submit
ting all the finer specimens to the
emperor for his selection before
dealers are allowed to purchase.

The Fuel Question.

Fuel dealers in this city have been
experiencing the same conditions as
have been presented in many other
places thruout the Northwest in re-
gard to the coal famine While the
situation has not been as acute in
Willmar as at some other points, yet
there was a necessity for immediate
action and as the result of a recent in
vestigation instituted by local dealers
in coal there will be a supply here
soon. j. S. Robbins was in the cities
the first of the week and looked up the
matter. His investigation resulted in
promise of several carloads to be
shipped to this point this week. He
found that the dealers in the cities
were overwhelmed with orders and
that they had been powerless to
afford relief on account of the slow
movement of cars on the railroads.
Appeals had been made in vain to the
railroads., as the officials insisted
that they could not procure the cars
in which to haul coal Such a pres
sure has been brought to bear upon
the railroad companies that every
available car that can be found is be-
! ing put into service. Complaints
! have been quite numerous all over the
! Northwest regarding the railroads
action in not Fastening to the relief o]
! the fuel situation The coal is plenti.
full, but the cars MUST be furnished fol
i hauling it.
tbs fortunate forcoal consumers tha
the wea ther of late has not been severe
otherwise there might have been con
siderable suffering among those who
are entirely dependent upon the grades
of coal which the fuel dealers were un
able to supply.

LOSES HIS ARM
Charles Eddy tho Victim Of Serious
Accident While Feeding Corn Cut
tor Last Saturday.

Charles Eddy, while at work on the
Eddy farm in Whitetield last Satur
day afternoon, had his left hand
caught in feed cutting machine and
before it could be extracted the entire
forearm was so badly injured that it
was necessary to have an amputation
performed.
Charles was feeding the machine,
while his brother Lewis was arranging
the corn stalks that were to be fed into
it. AS soon as the accident happened
the belts we're thrown off and the ma
chine stopped, but it was too late to
save the arm from being badly lacera-
ted. The wrist was broken and cut to
the bone. The unfortunate man was
given temporary relief and bis brother
, Henry brought him to the Frost hos
pital in this city for surgical attend
ance. The Eddy farm is nearly nine
miles from Willmar and the victim S
suffering was very intense during the
drive. Everything possible was done
to save the injured member, but it was
finally found necessary to amputate it
on Monday evening and the amputa-
tion was performed between the elbow
and shoulder. Mr.. Eddy at this writ
ing is doing nicely. The family has
the sympathy of it's many friends in
this unfortunate affair.
The machine is the same one in
which Henry Eddy was badly injured
several years ago, but he was fortu-
nate enough to save his arm.

About 100 persons took in the lut6sk

and all OF them agreed that the affair
vas genuine B-carat success:
There was mixture of all national
tiles, but Judging from the way in
which they all disposed of the lutfsk
one would have pronounced them all
as thorobred Scandinavians. Bill
Hays celebrated his election to the
head Office in the camp by breaking
the record on lutfsk eating set by p.
L. Peterson last year, beating said
record by II ounces, and incidentally
proving beyond question the truth OF
the statement that some parts OF
Ireland were settled by Scandinav-
ians. Various games and pastimes
served to while away the balance of a
very pleasant evening.

for such filings:

Included in the statements of the In
dependent and Democratic committees
are the amounts spent in the county in
behalf of Gov. JOhnson's campaign
A portion of the amount spent by the
Independent committee is a duplication
of the amount certified to by Lawson.
The Republican county committee did
not file any statement, although the
code expressly states that every politi-
cal committee must have treasurer
and that such treasurer must make a
certified statement to be filed with the
county auditor within thirty days after
the election. The statements of the vari-
Gus Republican candidates certify that
in nearly every case they contributed
$50 each to the strenuous campaign
made in this county for Cole, Thorpe
and Lundquist, and that such payments
were made to r. O. Gilbert. The total
thus paid to Mr.. Gilbert was S475. How
much more was contributed from other
sources and how twas spent the public
is left in ignorance of. One is forced to
the conclusion that there is something
to conceal, when chances are taken 81
violating the law to avoid publicity.

All the rural Tree delivery mall car
riers in the state of Minnesota have
received blanks from the State high
way commission with orders to fill
out and report on the condition Of the
rural roads. 1t is a we'll known fact
that the rural roads of this state are

$4,000. for their repair. This amount
did not go very far and the highway
commission is anxious to have anoth-

For this~reason they will get reports
from every rural carrier in the state.
The carriers are in a position 10 judge
the condition of the roads because they

will lay them before the legislature in
