A Texas RANGER.

"A Texas Ranger" Walter Ar
intgon's fine four act drama, we'll
deserves the credit it is receiving,
from the fact that the play itself is
one of the hest and of more than
ordinary merit and the company
presenting it are strong and cap
able. The entire production, in
Guiding scenery and mechanical ef-
fects, is fresh. and every device
within the power of stage mechan-
ism, is employed in this produc-
tion. The author of "A Texas
Ranger" has worked out a most
thrilling story, attractive to all
Americans because Of the obvious
truth of all its conceptions. The
character drawing is almost perfect
and totally unlike the overdrawn
types that frequently occur in the
average production of today. The
story told is founded on facts, and
while it abounds in sensation and
intense interest, there is no strain
ing for false effects or absurd situa-
tions. The "Texas Ranger" comes
to the Willmar Opera House this
"wednesday EVENING" Special re-
duced prices-50, IS and Is cents.

Old FOUNDER OF
HUTCHINSON DEAD
Was a Member Of Family of Gel.
ebrated Singers From
nti-Bellum DAYS.

John w. Hutchinson of Lynn,
Mass. one of the pioneers Of Min
nesota and Of Mcleod county, and
the man after whom Hutchinson,
MIMI, was named. died at his home
in Lynn, Oct. 20, 1908. He was
for many years a member of the
famous Hutchinson Family of
''sweet singers in Israel" that sang
their way into the hearts and con-
sciences of the people of the north
during the years that preceded the
abolition of slavery, and it was
thru their singing. as we'll as thru
the story of ''Uncle Toms Cabin
and the wonderful eloquence Of
William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell
Phillips, Gerritt Smith and others,
that the people of the north became
finally determined that in this ma
ton at least human slavery should
cease. For years the Hutchinson
family gave concerts in the north
ern states and also sang in some Of
the border states, but were driven
out IF and forbidden to re-enter
some of the union camps during
the early part of the war. because
Of their strong anti-slavery songs
and sentiments. We we'll remem-
Der hearing them before and dur
ing the war, when they were at the
very zenith of their form; some of
1.-The tribe Of ASA" some Of "the
tribe of John." and some of other
tribes, as they were pleased to call
themselves. How they would wake
the people with their first song,
"We are come from the mountains
of the old granite state" and how
interesting they looked in their
quaint quakerish costumes, the men
with long hair. ruffled sleeves and
broad white collars that reached to
their shoulders almost. Their
wasn't as much of tinsel and style
to them or to their singing as we
get now; not so much Of trills and
thrills and of wonderful, yes, awful
execution, but they sang the songs
of heart and home and native land +;
of loyalty and love and righteous
ness, in a way that touched the
hearts of millions. - Montevideo

New Form of Bribery.

Smith, who wants the office Of
sheriff, agrees to give. or actually
gives Jones S. in con liberation of
Jones voting for him. That is
bribery under the statutes.
Or Brown, wanting a measure
passed by the legislature, goes to
Green, who is a member Of the leg
islature whose v tie is doubtful, and
offers to give Green's son position
in the railway service if the meas
ure is passed. This is an obvious
instance of bribery.
Now j. Ponsonby Snug employs
hundred men in a hat factory.
The factory is running on half
time. Night before election Snug
assemblies his hundred men and
promises them in case his presiden-
tial candidate is elected, full work
and ten per cent increase in wages.
All the gravamen Of the offense OF
bribery is here. The statute should
be ampliied to cover such cases.
Public policy demands it. 1t is ar
insiduous form of. bribery, not only
because it perpetuates the selfish
political power Of the trusts but be-
cause it corrupts well-meaning citi
zens. The laboring man who woulC
Indignantly reject a S. or $40 bride
for his vote, is here influenced b!
his means Of subsistence. HI
thinks of the hard winter close a
hand, his coal bill, his three or fou
children needing warmer clothing
The chance to work and adequate
pay for his work are very apt to b.

GEORGE Will GET
A PONY and CART
If Willmar People Will All Buy
Copies of 1.-The POST From
Him For q Few Weeks.

Willmar has one of the most ac-
tive representatives in the employ
ment of the Saturday Evening Post.
His name is George Brogren. Al
tho George is only ID years old, he
is a hustling business man, as his
record will show. About eight
months ago George concluded to de-
vote his spare time to selling the
Post, and he disposed Of his trial
order so quickly that he decided to
stay in the business. At first he
ordered only about so copies a
week. but by pluck and persever-
ance he gradually increased the de-
mand for the paper until at present
his weekly sales amount to more
than 100 copies. Some time ago he
engaged Ric' ard Taylor, another
hustler, to assist him, and at the
present time they are both as busy
as can be from Thur>day on.
In the past eight months George
has won SO in prize money. aside
from his regular commission.
Now he is one of the contestants
for a Shetland Pony Outfit which
the Saturday Evening Post will give
to the boy showing the greatest in
crease over his average weekly sales
in October. In the first report sent
out by the company George was
number "a, but in the second report
he had jumped up to number IL,
leading all the other Post boys in
the state. This means that George
stands good show of securing the
$3.50 Pony outfit, or at least one of
the other prizes, 500 and $50.
The contest ends in December, and
we trust that everyone who can
will lend a helping hand that
George may be the recipient of a
Christmas present worth while.

pleasure was due in part to the ex-

in part to the delightful personnel
of the company. The numbers were
extremely varied, ranging from

the cello to the deservedly popular

Inspection Force Visited.

Chas. Watson of St. Paul, special
agent for the Railroad and Ware
house Commission, was in the city
the first of the week, looking over
matters pertaining to the local
grain inspection department. MIR.
Watson said that so far as grain
shipping in Minnesota was con-
cerned, the month of September
broke all previous records. The
fact that shipping is so unusually
light at present, Watson attributed
to tendency on the part of the
farmers to hold their wheat as long
as possible in order to obtain higher
prices, and also the the fact that
the favorable weather had turned
the farmers attention to blowing
and away from grain hauling.
Another thing Watson called at
tention to was the success with
which the present commission is
stopping the pilfering of grain in
transit. The new statute relative
to the theft of grain is greatly re-
sponsible for this success, namely
that the railroads are held respons.
ible for any shortage which is found
when the cars arrive at their des.
tination. In the last twelve months
the railroads have paid more short
age than they had done during the
preceding Is years. For this rea
son also the railroads are co-operat
ing with the commission in. locat
ing and Furnishing grain thieves
thereby helping greatly to establish
the present splendid police protec
tion for the grain in transit.
Lastly he spoke of the genera
ignorance prevailing in the stat
regarding the law passed by the las
Legislature making it unlawful t
sweep empty grain cars or to carr,
grain from any of the railroa
yards or for other than employees
enter engin esor freight cars. OF
ten times when the culprits ar
caught, the detectives have a har
time convincing the magistrate
that the deed committed is contrar
to law.

A Common DELINQUENT.

The dean of a normal college. IN a
talk before the student body. was de-
ploring the practice common among
children Of getting help in their les
sons and the tendency Of parents to
give 1t too generously. As an illustra-
ton he told the following incident:
The mother of small pupil In a
Chicago school had struggled through
the problems assigned for the child's
next lesson and had finally obtained
what appeared to be satisfactory re-
suits. The next day, when the little
girl returned from school. the mother
inquired, with some curiosity:
''Were your problems correct dear7'
"No. mamma" replied the child.
'sThey were all wrong"
'All wrong?' repeated the amazed
parent. "Oh, I'm 20 sorryw
"Well. mamma. you don't need to b<
sorry" vas the reply. "All the Other
mammas had theirs wrong too"
