Married at New London.

The most important event of the
week occurred at the home of Louis
Larson, on Tuesday, when his daugh-
ter, Miss Carrie, was united in matri-
mony with Mr.. Francis S. Wanous.
The marriage occurred at $50 O'Clock
in the evening. j. G.. Wanous, a
brother of the groom, was best man,
and Miss Agnes Hultgren was maid Of
honor. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. A. F. Seastrand of the Swed-
ish Lutheran church. Quite number
of guests were present, mostly relatives,
and few close friends of the happy
couple. Congratulations followed the
ceremony, and then all repaired to
the dining room where bounteous
wedding supper awaited them. Mr..
and Mrs. Wanous will make New
London their home for some time to
come, as the former will continue his
work in the interests of the G. N. Ry.
Co. at this point. The bride has been
resident of New London all her life.
The groom is young man of excellent
habits, whose former home was near
Hutchinson. He has been in the en-
ploy of the railroad company for
eleven years, part of the time as
travelling auditor. Among the out of
town guests who we're present are: J..
G.. Wanous of Hutchinson, Miss Hilda
Wanous of Montevideo, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Harris and John Olson of
Spicer, Mrs. B. F. Miller of Willmar,
and Miss Agnes Hultgren of Green
Lake.-New London Times.

Friday afternoon at three O'Clock.
Previous to the acute attack of ap-
pendicitis, deceased gave birth to a
child some over a month ago, a baby
girl arriving at the home on Feb. 21st.
The aff1iction which thus comes to the

reaved will have the deep felt sympathy
of the entire community in the sudden
loss of good wife and mother.

in Olmstead county Feb. 25, 1868. She
was united in marriage to Mr.. Ed
wardson in 1892 and the family has
resided in this township for the~past
seven years. Besides the husband
there are six children, the Oldest a
girl of IA years, who are bereft of the
tender and loving care of a mother.
A two-year-Old son died last June as
the result of an operation.
The funeral will take place on Fri
day afternoon. Brief services will be
conducted at the residence at 80 by
Rev. J. N. Andersen, followed by a
service at the Lutheran Synod church
in this city at 3 o'clock, when he will
terment will be in the cemetery in the
east part of the city.

AvolCE FROM LAKE LILLIAN
Nov tho Farmers Stand on tho Tom.
peranes Question.-WillW Watch
the Result tuesday.

LAKE LILLIAN, March 20, 1907.
Editor TRIBUNE:
If you will allow me space in your
paper, shall try to make few re-
marks on the temperance question, to
show where we Lake Lillian farmers
stand on the subject. AS we all know,
the county option bill was killed and
burned as if it had been afflicted with
an infectious disease. We are sorry
to see that people will elect men who
will go to St. Paul to do the bidding
OF the bloated brewers and deny the
country people the right to vote on
matter that so vitality concerns them.
But when it comes to passing laws in
favor of the "big bugs' they are right
there with the goods, as when the bill
that saved the brewing companies
quarter of q million dollars passed
both houses so quickly that Dan Patch
would have looked like lame dray
horse if he had tried to race with it.
Now that we are denied a vote in
the mater, we must appeal to the vot-
ers in Willmar to help US, for this
question does concern us very much.
Our town was once upon time called
''the drunkards' paradise" That was
in the days when Willmar had a sa-
loon in every other building, and all
the booze came from Willmar saloons.
And we are sure it would have been
the same yet if Willmar had not been
"dry" for so many years, enabling
the people to go TO town without hav-
ing fsSced on them a temptation that
mIay cannot resist. During those
years we had a fine set of people out
here. But the six months of saloons
in Willmar have been enough to start
some OF them on the downward road
again. Have we not a right to ask
for protection for these weak brothers:
We therefore ask the good voters OF
Willmar to do themselves and US the
favor of voting for a dry town. We
farmers have to pay the greater par,
of court expenses but we can better
stand to pay for prosecuting blind
pigger every now and then than to see
our people ruined by the saloons. The
good results among our people when
Willmar was dry showed us that the
blind pigs are not as dangerous as the
open saloons, and with Pete Bonde as
sheriff we hope for still better results.
Besides, the last term of court proved
that saloons do not stop blindpigging
and attendant court expenses.
The Temperance League of Lake
Lillian therefore asks the citizens O
Willmar not to permit the saloons t<
continue their dreadful work. Vot,
to save the young generation from :
veritable hell; vote to save the womer
and children from misery, and many
a man from an early grave. Not long
ago we saw a man 60 to an early
grave as the result of drink. Vote sc
that you will have no responsibility,
for such things. j. E. j.
