rains give our people time to go

way to the lake near Willmar and
much fish comes back to the kitch-
ems and the tables to be appreciated
by the farmers family, who do not
always have time to go off in search
of the finny tribe. The roads are
poor, altho when it stops raining
they are soon in good shape, owing
to the good grading done in parts
Of the township.

COMMENCE CEMENT
AT SEMINARY
The Annual Graduating Exercises
al the Willmar Seminary an
AnSpfcf0uS Event.

Last Monday evening witnessed
the close of another school year at
the Willmar Seminary. Gradual
ing exercises were held in the Sem
mary Hall and were listened to by
a large and appreciative audience.
The program opened with a hymn
by the audience, which was fol-
lowed by the invocation by Rev.
Waller. After a selection by the
Seminary band, the program was
carried out by members of the
graduting class. Berdie Somer-
Vile gave the salutatory, her ora
tion being entitled "Old Glory"
and it was rendered in bright and
enthusiastic manner. TIL en- fol-
lowed an oration by Amy Redy, en-
titled Happiness of Duty" which
showed able and careful prepara-
tion on the part of the speaker.
Cora Osmundson, who has complet-
ed the Shorthand course, delighted
the audience with piano solo,
which was given the most hearty
applause. "King Robert of Sici-
ly'was recited in an able manner
by Mathilda Hort. Julia johnson
then followed with an oration on
True Patriotism" and the man.
ner of her delivery showed that the
speaker had entered fully into the
spirit of her subject. A vocal duet
was sung by Florence Smith and
Amalie Tvedt and was followed by
an oration on the "Value of Public
Speaking" given by Miss Tvedt,
who brought out the thought in
we'll chosen words how all great re-
forms had been brought about by
good and able orators. E]vina Mil
sten recited "A Child's Dream of a
STAR with much pathos and emo
tion. Another selection of the band
was enthusiastically received.
Miss Ellen Syse gave her class,
consisting Of Oline Collin, Florence
Smith, Axeline Holmgren, Inga
johnson, Cora Osmundson and So
phie Johnson, public test as to
their ability and speed in taking
dictation both in shorthand and to
the typewriter. It is not an easy
matter to take dictation rapidly
and accurately before large audi
ence and the manner in which it
was done reflects much credit on
both teacher and pupils.
The last oration was given by
Elmer Hauge, valedictorian of the
class. His essay was entitled "Val-
ue of DISCIPLINE and was full of
good ideas and valuable thoughts.
The oration was given in a master
ly manner and the speakers closing
remarks to the teachers, students
and classmates were both eloquent
and touching.
Those who took part in the spro-
gram with orations and recitations
and named above, are all graduates
of the Teachers Course. Besides
those and the Shorthand class, there
were two others, William Nelson
and Oscar Smith, who have success
fully completed the Business
Course.
Hon. L. o. Thorpe, in behalf of
the Seminary faculty, in a few we'll
chosen remarks, presented the di.
plomas to the class and bade them
Godspeed in their mission thru life.
The graduating class sang fare
we'll song, after which the audience
sang a hymn and Rev. Waller pro.
nOunced the benediction.

TWO june
WEDDINGS
mamre and Svea Lead Off the
Wedding Season With Two
Pretty Nuptial Events

A fine home wedding occurred at
the home of Erick Faulk in the
town of Mamre at two o'clock yes
terday afternoon, when the daugh-
ter, Ellen, was given in marriage
to Elmer A. Peterson, son Of An
drew Peterson of this city. The
ceremony was performed by Rev.
D. E. Finstrom, a brother-in-law of
the bride. The wedding march was
played by Miss Esther Peterson, a
sister of the groom. The bride
wore French lawn, carried white
roses, and was attended by Misses
Minnie Peterson and Hattie John
son, who were attired in pink and
blue respectively. The groom was
attended by Oscar H0gberg and Ed
win Moline. The house was deco
rated with greens and lilacs. Rev.

talk to the young people upon the
significance of their new relation.
A splendid wedding dinner was
served. Mr.. and Mrs. Peterson left
this morning on a brief trip to
Minneapolis and Milaca, and will
soon be at home to their friends at
1914 Litchfeld avenue E. in this
city. Elmer is an employe of Uncle
Sam in the postal department, with
the best Of prospects, and both the
young people are we'll and favora-
bly, known. The Tribune joins in
the hearty congratulations of their
host of friends.
A church wedding took place at
Svea last Sunday evening at seven
o'clock. Mr.. Oliver L. Blomquist

CONGRESSMAN GODWIN'S
GOOD WORK.

Under the above caption yes

mits the following:
Congressman Goodwin is al
ways looking after the interests
Of his constituents. He is ever
doing one thing or another to
advance their welfare. The
most important Of the things he
has done is his effort to have
the landowners instructed by
government experts in the matter
Of draining loWlands and the
great advantage TO be derived
therefrOm. In this district there
are thousands Of acres which are
worthless for agriculture as they
now stand, but if drained would
produce splendid crops. Every
acre of such land that is drained
adds TO the wealth of the com
munity. In having government
experts on this subject trave
over his district and address tn,

President Roosevelt is not
overlooking any opportunity to
write a letter making an appeal
for Taft. The disclosures in re-
gard to Senator Foraker gave the
President the opportunity to
say that Foraker did not belong
to him, anyway, and that For
aker's fall ought to help his man
Taft. The President seems tc
relish giving Foraker a kick be-
cause he had opposed some OF
his policies.

Improvements at Messrs. White
& Coughs Store.

Messrs. White & Cough have
gotten into the recently built ex-
tension to their store building
and they have now, upstairs and
down, more than 10000 feet of
floor space. They have made
other improvements, too, which
add to the convenience and
attractiveness of their store. The
|. old stairway which formerly led
from Elm street to the telephone
exchange and the offices of Mr..
D. P. Shaw and DR.. J. D. Regain,
above the store, has been torn
away and a window now takes
the place of the old door to the
stairway. A concrete sidewalk
has been built the length of the
store on the short street that
runs by the court house from
Elm to Walnut streets, and from
this sidewalk new stairway
has been built which leads to the
upstairs part of the store, to the
telephone exchange, to the law
office of Messrs. Shaw & Cook
and to the new office of the
mayor. This last is at the head
of the stairway and is large and
well lighted. A new stairway also
leads from the upstairs depart
ment of the store to the ground
floor.
These improvements give much
more space and add much to the
attractiveness of the store. And
they improve considerably, too,
the appearance from the outside.
In addition to these improvements
the store will be painted soor
pure white, inside and out, and
penciled with red. Which will
make it a thing of ioy and pride

the altar and extended congratu-
lations. In leaving the synagogue
the bride and groom took pre-
cedence and the entire wedding
party, with many invited guests,
repaired to the home of the
brides parents, where there was
much feasting and rejoicing I'M
til the wee sma' hours. Three
tables, groaning beneath burdens
of rich viands, were spread be-
fore the invited guests, and they
were cleared away and reladen-
ed again and yet again. 1t was
care-free, happy throng, and
everybody enjoyed the occasion
immensely.
All the decorations and ar
engagements for the wedding
were made by Mr.. M. Blacker.
The synagogue was very simply
and tastefully decorated with
streamers of holly from the altar
to the ark. 1t is the custom for
the white canopy under which
the ceremony is performed to be
held up by means of rods by a
person at each corner, but in
order to economic space the
canopy was supported from the
altar and upon each corner of the
altar a candle was placed to rep
resent a person. Music was fur
nished by a band composed of
Messrs. Frank Cough, Woodbury.

The manager of the Southern
Cotton Oil Co. at Shelby received
a letter Saturday advising him
that if he continued to gin
cotton in the face of the declin-
ing market night riders would
burn his gin. But they are gin
ming right along with guards
about the gin who are instructed
to keep their powder dry and
shoot the first man who comes
providing around with evil intent.
We do not believe night riding
will ever be a popular past-time
in this State. 1t would be too
dangerous; a man could not en-
gage in it and keep his
health. 1t worked more or less
successfully in Kentucky, where
they burned much tobacco and
made planters afraid to act
indep ntly, and they
have done some business in
Georgia recently trying to con-
troll the ginning and marketing of
cotton; but if they begin that
sort of nonkeying in this State
it's dollars to doughnuts that
some night riders are going tc
get hurt so quick and so hare
that they will drop it like a hot
brick. This is not at all the
right part of the moral vineyard
for such cattle to operate in.

Senator Joseph B. Foraker, of
Ohio, has fallen upon evil days.
Certain letters have been made
public from John D. Archbold,
of the Standard Oil Co., to Sena-
tor Foraker advising him of re-
mittances to the amount of about
$50, 600 and calling to his atten-
ton certain bills which had been
introduced in Congress and the
Ohio Legislature which the
Standard Oil wanted defeated.
Time was when Foraker was
looked upon as an homes
champion of the rights of the
people, who delighted to honor
him, but in an evil moment +,
let the inconvenience of poverty
o outweigh other consideration
and now he has lost that which
he perhaps never priced at it
