FLOWER SHOW
A SUCCESS

The fifth annual flower show of
the Housekepeers Club was held at
the library Thursday and Friday
afternoon and evening, and every
session was we'll patronized by
lovers of flowers. The rooms were
prettily decorated for the occasion
with white and yellow bunting and
festoons of asparagus. On account
of the dry weather which has pre-
vailed so long, the exhibits were
not as fine or as numerous as they
have been some years, but the
splendid programs made up for this
in part at least. One of the feat
ures was a gypsy tent, where those
who attended could have their for
tunes told. The fortune tellers
were literally patronized, and
everybody was satisfied with what
was coming to them. The refresh
ment tables were also literally pat
ronized. The receipts were about
$62.
The judges were w. J. Phare,
E. C. Wellin and P. c. Tonning.
and they awarded the prizes as fol-
lows: Best arranged bouquet, Mrs.
Jos. Cleary; greatest variety. Mrs.
Andrew Berg; first on gladiolus,

new SEWER
SYSTEM URGED
Commercial Club Endorsed New
Sewer Proposition Very
Strongly.

At the meeting of the CONNER
cial Club last night the necessity
for immediate action in regard to
the building of a sewer system was
brot out strongly. The meeting
was we'll attended and resolutions
were adopted encouraging the city
council to proceed with all possible
dispatch to perfect plans and SUBJ
NIT the question of the sale of
bonds. The city has ample funds
in the sinking fund to invest in its
own bonds for short term of years
if it were thot best. Prof. Bass.
the engineer of the State Board of
Health, was in the city several days
of last week and looked over the
ground. He expressed as his opin-
ion that the plans drawn for
sewer system by MIR. Claussen called
for larger mains and bigger expen-
ditures of money than would be
really required, and advised that
some notifications of these plans
be made. Prof. Bass is expected to
come to the city again in a few
days to assist the local authorities
to draw up the plans for the work
which must first be done. it is
likely that these will include mains
to reach all sections of the city and
a system of septic tanks which will
purify the water so as to make it
harmless either in the lake or coun-
ty ditch.
The Commercial Club also decid-
ed to take the initiative in having
a petition drawn up and circulated
asking the district court to appoint
charter commission to draw up
needed amendments to be submitted
to the people of the city.

EMIL OSTLUND.

The sad news reached Willmar
Monday that Emil Ostlund, one of
the youngest and most popular far
mers in Mamre, passed away Sun
day morning. Death was due to
that dread disease, tetanus, better
known as lock jaw, which devel-
oped the first part of last week.
About two weeks ago Mr.. Ostlund
accidentally thrust one of the
prongs of a pitchfork thru the top
of his right foot. The next day he
went to a physician who cleaned
and treated the wound, and as it
gradually healed everyone thought
it woul3 only be question Of a
short time when Mr.. Ostlund would
be completely we'll again. But the
insidious germs of the disease had
found lodgment, and on Tuesday OF
last week symptoms of tetanus be-
gan to develop. The physicians in
charge of the case at once sent to
Minneapolis for an antitoxin which
has proved successful in counteract.
ing the poisonous effects of the
germs, and the antitoxin was in.
jected Saturday. but it proved oil
no avail. The patient steadily
grew worse, and Sunday morning
about II O'Clock the end came.
The funeral was held yesterday
afternoon, services being conducted
by Rev. G. Peterson at the house
and at the Mamre Lutheran church
The remains were laid at rest il
the adjoining cemetery.

AUTOMOBILE
TRAIN HERE.
little GIfdden' Tourists Strike
Wfllmar Yesterday
Morning.

> SO~A v~A AOAoty NuO"H co ClIC
Little Glidden," the Dispatch
Trophy Tour, and the State Associ-
alton Run, passed thru Willmar
yesterday morning between $50
and 9:30 o'clock. The cars did not
check in here, so the tourists de-
voted their time to getting lunch
or looking over their machines.
Fifteen minutes was all the time
they had here, but as some of the
cars were ahead of their schedule,
they did not observe the time limit
closely. Most of the travellers were
both dusty and cold when they ar
rived here from their morning run
from Benson. A cold wind was
blowing from the northwest and it's
coldness was accentuated by the
speed of the cars. But they were
all jolly and contented and everyone
of them was enthusiastic both about
the roads. as well as the splendid
reception they had met with every
where.
The tour started from St. Paul
Friday morning, and they checked
in yesterday at 4:3O O'Clock. 1t
was proceeded by a pathfinder, an
American Traveller, and Packard
pilot car which threw out the con-
fetti which marked the road.
There were "a cars in all, and the
party consisted of 78 people, 16 of
whom were ladies. The cars COM
peted for four trophies, the most
important being the one offered by
the St. Paul Dispatch. Two of the
cars left here with perfect scores,
a Pierce Great Arrow and Chal-
mers-Detroit. The latter was run
in the Glidden tour six weeks ago,
and also won the Tribune trophy
last week. A notable thing about
it was that it was running on the
same air in it's rear wheel tires
which was pumped into them at
Detroit at the start of the Glidden
tour. Another car which occa-
stoned good deal of favorable
comment was little Brush run
about, which in spite of it's dimin-
utive size and limited power had
kept right up with the big, power
full cars, and arrived here ahead of
it's schedule.
Among those in the party were
Reuben Warner, president of the
st. Paul Automobile Association !;
A. j. Kavanaugh of the Dispatch,
F. E. Murphy of the Tribune and
j. E. Smith of the Journal. They
were all enthusiastic about the tour.
and stated that the run would no
doubt from now on be an annual
event.
Some of the local auto owners
went out and met the tourists, but
the turnout was not as large as it
might have been, owing to the fact
that the time of arrival was not
generally known. In spite Of the
fact that nothing was done for their
entertainment or reception here,
the tourists left with hearty cheer
for Willmar.

sented, and the Board of Managers
are especially anxious to have as
many Farmers rigs in the line as
possible.
The new idea of giving each
farm of which the owners take
special pride some name is proving
a popular one, and it has occurred
to the Committee that this parade
would prove an excellent opportun-
ity for the different newly named
farms to make them public with
some device or exhibit attached to
the carriage or wagon representing
the same in this parade.
The following cash prizes will be
awarded to participants in this pa
rade.
To the best "Named Farm" re-
presentation, with name of farm
and decorated with farm products
or otherwise and with members of
the family: First Prize, $3.50;
Second Prize, $500; Third Prize,
$3.50.
For the best general purpose farm
team: First Prize. $500; Second
Prize, $500.
For the best farm carriage turn
out, team, vehicle and harness con-
sidered: First Prize, So. 90; Second
Prize, $500.
For best float representative of a
Willmar business house: First
Prize, $500; Second Prize, $500;
Third Prize, $500.
For most comical rig: First
Prize, $500; Second Prize, $500.
The Board of Managers have
adopted Old Gold and Maroon as the
official colors Of this fair. They
are anxious that the decorations
this year shall excel anything yet
attempted in this city, and in order
to make the effect a harmonious
one, they request that these colors
be made to predominant. Bunting,
flags and pennants of these colors
will be placed in stock at the stores,
where they may be secured by those
who wish them for decorating
buildings or turnouts for parades.
The Willmar Boys Corps of Ca
diets will appear daily in the par
AIDES and evening carnivals during
the Fair, and they will also go thru
number of the movements in the
army manual Of arms. The corps
consists of 48 boys, and Maurice V.
Jenness is acting as Drill Master
and udvig S. Dale as Quartermas-
ter-Sergeant. The boys will be
equipped with fine khaki uniforms,
with caps and dummy guns. They
are entering into the drill work
with a good deal Of spirit and will
no doubt furnish very interesting
feature of the Fair.
