Worked Sympathy Racke al.

A young fellow giving his name as
George Lange is serving q ten days
sentence in the county Jail, being
arrested and convicted at Raymond
on the charge of vagrancy. He was
a member of the ''too tired to work''
gang and had been begging for coin
of the realm from the Raymond citi-
zens, working as a sympathy racket
bad-appearing arm, which Reclaimed
was afflicted with scrofula. The vii
lage marshal took charge of him and
an examination revealed the fact that
his terrible affliction'' was caused
by him burning his own arm with acid
to aid him in begging. The charge
preferred against him was vagrancy
and the justice gave him choice of a
IS fine or ten days in Jail. Altho he
had more than the required amount in
his pockets he took the jail sentence,
which is evidence that his time is GER
tainly not worth much. He was
brought to Willmar and lodged in the

The Clubs Picnic.

Mrs. Andrew Larson very pleasant
ly entertained large number of the
members of the Housekeepers' club at
her spacious. cottage at Crescent
Beach on Wednesday and Thursday
of last week. Invitations were ex-
tended to the entire club, and those
who availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity of going had most delightful
time. Boating, bathing and general
picnicking were among the features of
the occasion, altho it was generally
conceded that the ride about the lake
in the Tallman launch was the main
attr action. Mr.. Tallman very kindly
contributed this part of the enjoyment
to the guests. A large number of the
lake dwellers joined in the merrymak-
ing. Those of the club who remained
over night not only can attest to the
hospitality of the hostess, but their
mirth-provoking escapades tally with
the best. Mrs. Larson, president of
| the club, was assisted in entertaining
by Mrs. Gillette, secretary, and Mrs.
Knox, committee on arrangements.
The club is the largest organization
in Willmar and the annual outing is
looked forward to with much interest.

Parts of the wrecked building were
found scattered in all directions and
some pieces of timber were picked up
about a mile away. Fortunately there
was nothing in the barn at the time
but small quantity Of hay. In the
basement however, there were two
teams Of horses and other valuable
property, but oil escaped unhurt. The

Dear Sir: Will you kindly grant
us q little space in which to discuss
the sensational meeting" reported in
the Republican Gazette Of the 28th
inst. We are principally. interested,
Of course, in The rather warped ac-
count of the opening of bids for side
walk, crossings, etc.. Mr.. Tallman in
his effort to belittle and besmirch the
character and record, of his council
colleague, Mr.. :Bergeson, went con
siderably wide Of the truth; in fact,
his remarks so far as they refer 10 al
legged telephone conversations between
Mr.. ~Bergeson and this Office relative
to our bidding on this work and
''cinching it, at high price, ETC., are
deliberate and malicious falsehoods
in every respect. I'VE are unable to
state how he made connection with
these alleged remarks of ours and Mr..
Bergeson's.) > =>= ]: ~ p: >.::. # > n. r.
The Honorable City Council would
have but followed we'll established
precedent in their affairs if they had
acted on our bid for cement work with
out reference to Mr.. Bsrgeson's sitting
In the council. The city being dis
posed, however. to take advantage Of
this technicality, permit us, please, to
assure the public that we not only re-
gret that we put this bid in, but that
we have determined to make no further
bid on public work in Willmar to be
acted upon by the city council so long
as Mr.. Bergeson is q member of such
council. We will attempt to keep busy
on such private contracts as we may
secure: without feeding on the "graft''
and spoils available at the public
crib. r.. {: =. - :. ::,.'.> =
On the whole, we were rather amused
at this report of Mr.. Tallman's virtu-
GUS indignation as expressed in his
criticism Of Mr.. Bergeson's system of
grating. At this distance it certainly
looked funny and we are only sorry
that the argument was not reported in
greater detail. -.
t It is not our intention to mix up in
any way in questions of local politics
or public policy. but to attend strictly
to our own business, and five cannot
do 1t in Willmar.a as we have been do
ing it in a.: great many other places
for q great many years on q straight
forward, honorable business basis,
we will merely close up our little shop
in Willmar and move into some other

us to report to or take orders from

VICTIM Of EARTHQU QUAk E.
Miss Margaret Baldwin Reaches Will.

II II In = Critical Condition. s::sz5 =ss.

E. M. Baldwin Of this city returned
last Thursday evening from Minnea-
polls, where he had gone to meet his
daughter, Miss Margaret, who arrived
in that city from San Francisco, where
she was, one OF the victims in the re-
cent calamity and suffered such injur-
les that she is now in a critical condi-
ton. a.. -@:af af.'.t, f.% e
Miss Baldwin had been resident
of San Francisco only short time
when the city was visited by the earth
quake. She was engaged in the dress
making business at Minneapolis and
at the solicitation of friends had gone
to San Francisco to locate and con-
tinue in the business at that point.
The building in which she was at the
time of the terrible calamity was in
the fire district and she lost nearly all
her possessions in the fire. She was
thrown down stairs during the earth
quake shock and suffered such injur-
les that she was taken to one of the
hospitals there and was one of the
many unfortunates who passed thru
the 5!, terrible experiences in that great
city. =.
Miss Baldwin's condition was made
still worse in a wreck on the Chicago
Great Western before reaching Mime
apolis and her arrival there was con-
siderably delayed as consequence.
Fortunately she was one of the pas
sengers in the last car, which was not
derailed but all the occupants received
quite a shaking up. Miss Baldwin
has been suffering for some time from
nervous prostration and at this writ
ing her condition is quite critical.
She is receiving the best of care at
her home on west Campbell avenue.
