Wedding In Becker County.

The marriage Of Peter H. Wal
berg. son of S. G. Walberg Of Rich
wood township, and Miss Winnie
Wood, of Detroit, was solemnized
at the M. E. parsonage at Dertoit
last Saturday evening, Rev. Wilcox
officiating. The young couple were
attended by Miss Esther Walberg
as bridesmaid and Tony Lewis as
best man. After the ceremony the
wedding party repaired to the home
of the groom's parents, where
splendid wedding luncheon was
served, only relatives and immedi-
ate friends being present. They
expect to leave in the near future
for Sanborn, N. D., where the
groom is farming a large farm, but
will return after the crop is dis
posed of and make their home on
the groom's farm in Redwood
township. The Post joins the many
friends of the bride and groom in
this county in wishing them a long,
happy and prosperous journey thru
life.-Callaway Post.
Peter is native of New London
township of this county, we believe,
as the family lived there for many
years. The Tribune joins in con-
gratulatiOns.

Interesting Experiment.

w. J. Pilkington of Des Moines.
Ia, editor of the Merchants Trade
Journal, has taken absolute charge
of every business house in Dexter,
Ia, a town of 800, for seven months
for the purpose of proving that city
methods will bring prosperity to
the merchants in a country town.
Mr.. Pilkington has placed the town
in the hands of Guy Pogus, who is
personally conducting every BUSH
ness from the bank to lumber yard.
At the end of the seven months
he declares the profits will be
doubled, trade will be attracted to
Dexter from other points and the
city will be metropolitan. AS all
the members of the city council are
merchants who have placed their
business in Pilkington's hands, the
latter is also controlling the NUM-
cipal government and has cleaned
streets and adopted many new ordi-
nances.
Mr.. Pilkington believes in adver-
Using, with the result that the Dex-
ter paper has more advertisements
than the editor ever had before.
The remarkable experiment is at
tracing the attention Of business
men all over the middle east

The GEORGE
VILE ROBBERY
Further Developments in The
Burglary Case at Burbank's
Station on the 500.

The little steel chest which was
taken from the safe in the George
vile store and post office on the
night of the robbery, July Is, was
found a few days after. about 300
feet north of the track. When the
parties found that it contained no
money, they had no use for it, and
placing all the papers, which repre-
sented a sum of about $1,000, back
in it they left it where it could be
found. Indications seem to point
to the fact that the robbery was
committed by someone living close
enough to Georgeville to know the
daily proceedings. Monday morn
ing following the robbery was pay
day at the creamery. 1t had been
the custom at certain times for Mr..
Quisberg to 60 to Belgrade on the
evening before pay day and bring
back the money with which to pay
off the creamery patrons. So it
happened on this Sunday, he went
to Belgrade, returning quite late in
the evening, but he did not bring
the money back with him. M. J..
Nicholson, treasurer of the cream
cry company. was going to George
vile the next morning and decided
to take the money with him. When
Quisberg returned home, he went
into the store, and anyone knowing
the usual custom might have
thought that he had the money,
which is a sum between two and
three thousand dollars, with him
and deposited it in the safe.
The fact that the safe is an old
one, the combination of which has
been known by perhaps a dozen
different parties, and also that the
safe was unlocked and relocked. are
pretty strong points that the deed
was committed by parties living
not very far away. 1t seems quite
evident that they were after the
money which was later paid to the
creamery patrons, so to a certain
extent they were foiled, even tho
they did get away with 1913. ID be-
longing to the government.-New

The Closing Session
Of Summer School

Summer school closed with a
special program Friday morning.
Most of the numbers consisted Of
prose and poetic selections from
Holmes, Tennyson, Scott and Burns.
together with a biographical sketch
of each, read by members Of the
class in reading which had received
special attention in the curriculum.
A chorus also sang a number of
songs selected from the writer's
mentioned.
After the last number on the pro-
gram Miss Hattie Beach arose and
on behalf of the class thanked the
teachers in the following original
and clever take off, on Lincoln's
Gettysburg speech:
Four weeks and five days ago,

on the scene of this five weeks
struggle. We have come to render
our thanks to those who here gave
their valued services that this
school might be a success. But, in
q larger sense, we cannot render.
we cannot show, we cannot express
our gratitude. These honored in
structors, Mr.. Frederickson, Mr..
Porter, Miss Day, Miss Cornish and
MIR. Eaton, have aided us far more
than our poor power may express.

PRl,
ZES AT OMAHA
Wants His People 10 Show Corn
Growers What Northern
States Can Produce.

James J. Hill, chairman of the
board of the Great Northern, has
offered 81, 500 in gold as prizes to
be awarded for the best grains and
grasses grown in the territory along
his lines, to be exhibited at the
National Corn Exposition in Omaha
December 6 to IL.
The money is to be divided into
200 prizes by Prof. C. P. Bull Of
the Minnesota Agricultural College
and Prof. Thos. Shaw of the Dako.
ia Farmer.
There will be about 40 first prizes
for wheat. oats, barley. corn, clio.
yer, timothy and alfalfa hay, a
we'll as prizes for speltz and field
peas.
Details of the contest will be
supplied by the exposition at Oma'
ha within few days and farmer!
intending to win some of the Hill
money, should save samples Of
small grains in bundles as we'll a
the peck samples Of grain.
In addition to offering the prize
Mr.. Hill will arrange to assist thu
farmers in getting their exhibit:
to Omaha.
The contest is an unusual one
because the farmers will not hav'
to compete with those in the oil
agricultural states, but simpl!
among themselves, as the contest
for Mr.. Hills prizes will be opel
only to those living along the Grea
Northern lines. Besides, the
prizes are to be offered by states
so Montana, for instance, will no
have to compete with the highl!
developed farms of South Dakot,
and Minnesota.
Besides the Hill money, the ex
position offers $50. 900 in prizes ant
while competing for the Hill prize
the exhibitors may also win SOM
of the regular prizes.

pany that it will disconnect from

Minnesota Central people think
they have the world by the tail

have been forced to use their lines
for long distance service are of a
different opinion and will rejoice
that this move of that company will
result in a better long distance con-
nection than the Minnesota Central
can furnish if it wanted to. as it is
more than likely that a connection
will be made with the Tri-State
company at Redwood Falls and pos
sibly Granite Falls as we'll, by
means of a commercial wire over
the lines of the rural company, in
which case the service will be first
class. The Minnesota Central peo-
pie are sore because the rural PEG.
pie have connected with the inde-
pendent telephone company at Red
wood Falls and this is the meat in
the tocoanut. The telephone using
public will rejoice over the pros
pect of being able to have decent
service, something which the Min
