Recital Monday Evening.

On Monday evening, Sept. "a, the
music-loving public will have the
pleasure of hearing Miss Helga Olsen,
pianist, and Mr.. Haldor Hanson,
Vlolinist, in a recital to be given at
the Willmar opera house.
Miss Olsen is a we]l-known pianist
VINO has acquired high reputation
and standing within and outside of
the profession in Minneapolis. She
mas for a number of years been a
tavorite and frequent performer at the
public gatherings of the Ladies'
Thursday Musicale, one of the most
exclusive musical clubs in the North
west. Whenever she has appeared in
their concerts she has won much
praise, on account of her finished and
brilliant playing, and the Twin City
newspapers have given her splendid
notices. For eight years she taught
IN Minneapolis and at present is con-
nected with Concordia college, Moor
head, MINI. Miss Olsen finished her
studies at the Scharwenka Conserva-
tory in Berlin.
Mr.. Hanson, the vio]inist, is so we'll
known in Willmar and vicinity as an
artist of the first rank that any CON-
ment upon his musical abilities is un-
necessary.
The following is one of the many
press comments reg arding Miss
Olsen's playing and is taken from the
Decorah Posten, Decorah, Iowa:
Miss Helga Olsen proved herself to
be a true artist. Her technique is
fine, and she plays with great accur-
acy. She fully deserved the applause
she received, and the young pianist
has promising future before her.
The program, next Monday evening
will include Grieg's Holberg Suite
and Listz's Faust Valse, for piano;
Bruch's G. M. Concerto, Vieuxtemp's
Ballade ct Polonaise, and Sarasate's s
Zigeunerweisen for violin and piano.

Fire at RAYMOND.

A fire alarm was turned in here last
Saturday morning and the department
quickly responded to the call, which
came from our neighboring village OF
Raymond. A later message came,
just as the 6remen were ready to leave,
stating that the fire was under control
and that the services of Willmar
would not be needed.
1t was learned that the general mer-
chandise establishment of K. Goeman
Pott was destroyed as we'll as a barber
shop adjoining the building. It was
feared that the fire would spread to
other buildings, which were in immi.
nent danger, and this made the call
for help from Willmar an urgent
necessity.

Tho MINNEAPOLIS Situation

1.-The man, outside OF the saloon
business, of course, who opposes
Jones on. account Of his having closed
the Sunday saloon, does so in the be-
lief that the material prosperity of the
city has been injured thereby. If this
is true there must be some evidence of
it somewhere. If the city was being
ruined by the closed saloon it would
be known in the decline in bank clear
ings and postal receipts. Ruined
people do not do business on such
large scale as before ruin overlook
them. But the facts are Minneapolis
never was 50 prosperous. Her vital
industries never were so busy. The
evidences of prosperity are heard in
every report of building permits, real
estate sales, wage accounts, savings
bank receipts. Minneapolis never ap-
peared so attractive to the outsider as
she does today and her population
never before received greater or more
desirable accessions than today.
Minneapolis CLOCKS good" to the
whole world
"But, it is objected, while this may
all be true, we should have all of this
and something more if it were not for
the marrow" policy of the mayor.
Should we? We should note in the
first instance loss of 500, 1000 a week
by the computation of the saloonkeep-
| ers' association. That sum has been
diverted from the till of the saloon by
Sunday closing. If the Sunday sa-
loon is allowed to reopen presumably
that amount will go back to it. We
can account for the present campaign
against Jones by the saloons on no
rational grounds other than that they
expect to get that money back under a
"liberal'' admininistration From
whom would they get it? The saloon
keepers tell US they would get it from
St. Paul, where it is going now. This
claim has been examined and found
to be false. No such sum of money is
going to St. Paul, nor any respectable
percentage Of it. It is going to the
channels of more legitimate trade at
home. The butchers, the bakers and
the grocers testify to the more prompt
payment of accounts and the more
liberal purchases since Sunday clos
ing. The only argument of the saloon
men is contradicted by the testimony
of the men in other and competing
lines of business. The cod fact is
that the Sunday saloon was about a
million-dollar-a-year tax upon the re.
sources of the community. One mil.
lion dollars under. even the increased
valuation of the city means tax o1
early six mills, Now, any board Of
tax levy which could reduce our taxes
in this city six mills would have a
monument erected to it's memory
Such a feat of finance would staggel
