MARRIED ant
new LONDON
Prof. A. E. Nelson, Principal Of
Schools, and Miss Lulu Stew
ems Are United for Life.

A very fine wedding took place
at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Martin F. Lundquist of New Lon
don this forenoon at 1890 O'Clock,
when Miss Lulu Eveline Stevens, a
niece of Mrs. Lundquist, was given
in marriage to Prof. Arthur f. Nell
son, principal Of the New London
schools. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Nordberg, assisted
by Rev. Seastrand. The wedding
march was played in duet by the
Misses Ruth and Hazel Lundquist.
An elaborate wedding dinner was
served, after which the happy
young people took the train for a
short trip to Minneapolis and the
home Of the groom at Red Wing,
MINI. They expect to return to
New London after about two weeks,
and will shortly be at home to their
friends in apartments at the Lund-
quist residence. Miss Stevens is
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. O. P.
Stevens of Forada, MIMI, and
granddaughter of Even O. Glesne
Of Norway Lake. Many friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson are awaiting
the first opportunity to extend
their heartiest congratulations.
The affair was rather a surprise,
only few knowing Of the event
until after it had occurred. This
is the third principal of the New
London schools to be fitted out with
life mate at New London within
few years, E. F. Fink and G.
Holmquist being the other fortu-
nate young pedagogs. We expect
to see the board of education of
New London swamped with applica-
tions should Mr.. Nelson see fit to
relinquish his position there.

Just What
WillnQar
Needs

We have decided to establish a
first-class cleaning and dye house in
connection with our tailoring bust
ness. We shall put this branch in
shape and operation with a first
class workman who has many years
experience in this kind of work as
we'll as in tailoring and our work
will be guaranteed in every respect.
The prices will be moderate.
The people Of Willmar and vicin-
ity will no longer be compelled to
throw away old clothes which seem
to have reached the end of service
but in reality can be made to wear
longer and look almost new. Just
bring them around and we shall fix
them up for you. This means that
we will take care of all kinds of
clothes that a lady or gentleman can
wear-from a silk waist to the
coarsest wooden garment, or a table
cloth, lace or chenille curtain, feath-
er plumes recurled, and in fact all
goods for fancy dyeing.

county auditor and county surveyor
on March 9 regarding the unsold
sections of county ditch No. Is in

yet 80 stations unsold and it may
be possible that Mr.. Reins will take
the contract to dig those stations.

special session on March 4 no ditch
matters, and established county
ditch No. 20, being in the town of
Norway Lake. On March 5 a hear
ing was had on the petition for dam

commissioners, however, rejected
the said petition.

AtWater, kerkhOven, Murdoch,
Maynard, Belgrade, and
Renviile Voted Dry.

kenville Voted Dry.
AS result of the elections yes
terday large territory adjacent to
Willmar remains dry, in most cases
with increased majority. The only
exception is Grove City, which slip
ped back into the "wet' column.
But on the other hand a great gain
was made by Renville going dry,
and Maynard coming back into the
dry column.
The greatest local interest was
conferred in the fight at Kandiyohi
village. This village, being about
five miles from Willmar, made the
issue there of considerable conse-
1uence to this city. The wholesale
beer house which intrudcd itself
upon that village furnished a con-
venient source of supply to the
thirsty of this city, who might run
out there in an auto in few min
utes. 1t was confidently expected
that the village would stand by the
old traditions of the township, but,
nevertheless, when the result be-
came known that the village had
voted dry by a vote of 16 to q,
there was great rejoicing among the
dry element of Willmar.
Sheriff Bonde lost no time when
the result became known, but went
down to Kandiyohi today to serve
notice on the beer house to vacate.
Atwater went dry for the third
consecutive year by majority of
II. Last years majority was only
81.
A few minutes after four o'clock
yesterday afternoon Samuel Ander-
son, who is attending the Seminary,
brought the Tribune the tidings
from his father, r. J. Anderson Of
Belgrade, that after a fierce fight
the village OF Belgrade remains in
the dry column by a majority of
three. This is the fourth consecu-
tive year that Belgrade is dry.
Murdoch went dry by a vote Of
l6 to 81, which is more than three
to one. This ought to settle the
result in that village for some time.
Kerkhoven rolled up a majority
of 20 against license, which was an
increase over last years majority.
License won at Paynesville with
a big majority. This was the first
time for many years that Paynes-
vile had voted on the question and
it was hardly expected that the VIC
tory could be won there this year.
Raymond remains wet, no vote
having been taken, and is the only
place in Kandiyohi county where
saloons are legalized.
Renville went dry for the first
time in a number of years by a vote
Of l04 to 1l2. a majority Of eight
for no license.
Down on the Sioux Falls line the
villages Of Hanley Falls and Cotton
wood went dry.
The results from all parts of Min
nesota indicate great gains for the
prohibition sentiment.
The city of Rochester came with
in nine votes of going dry.
The city Of Benson will vote on
the proposition this year, but their
election takes place April 7.
The Tribune expects to publish
details of all the township and vii.
lage elections in the county in its
next issue.
