the black list at the saloons. Will
lam E. Tramhs, a farmer residing
northwest Of Waseca,. committed
by taking strychnine last
week. He leaves his wife and six
the oldest not quite ten
years old. According to the Vase
ca Herald, this is the second life
sacrificed upon the saloon altar in
Waseca county, another young man
having been killed while walking
the railroad tracks in an intoxicat-
ed condition. Another man was
nearly frozen to death last winter,
and is still cripple because of the
saloons, one is serving term in
Saltwater and two are in reforma-
tory prisons for forging checks to
pay their saloon bills in Waseca.
Some day Waseca will not only
drive the saloons out. but it will
wonder how on earth it could have
been possible that it was ever a
partner in the business that caused
ali this shame and misery.
Bro. Joubert of the Litchfeld
News-Iedger grows peevish in his
last editorial effusions because this
department tried to sympathize
with him in his endeavor to
straighten up the citizens who were
violating the laws. Three weeks
ago he said minors and even fami-
lies were being supplied with
liqour, while people would fish
illegally at the lakes and ride lille
gally on the sidewalks. Last week
he said his city was the thriftiest,
cleanest and most orderly in this
part of the state. Either w. D.
forgot to consult his files or Litch-
field has reformed in record time.
After handing his own city this
large bouquet, he closes by saying
that they are without the aid Of a
jag-farm, their city orders go at
par the year around, and they have
no telephone row on their hands
all of which w. D. thinks is quite
a nice bunch of lemons for Will
mar. AS to the jag-farm, annex,
Litchfield would no doubt have an
nexed it as quickly as any city if it
had had the chance. and from w.
DIS. own words three weeks ago his
town would have found lots of use
for it. AS to Willmar city orders,
if Bro. Joubert had enough of them
he could go fishing every day, and
even have a little time left to con-
tribute a few calculating editorials
now and then. The only time city
orders were not at par in Will
mar was after thirty years of sa-
looms. Since becoming dry, Will
mar has had no troubles either with
orders or drunken minors. The re-
ference to the telephone row comes
with but little grace from city
which has had a good deal of just
that kind of a row, and is not yet
thru with it.
DISSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP
This is to certify that the part
nership heretofore existing between
P. H. Peterson and J. A. johnson
under the firm name of Peterson &

by mutual consent. The business
will be continued by P. H. Peter
son, who will collect all outstanding
accounts due said firm and pay all
bills against said firm.

 Rome. Dec 9.-From a source of unquestionable reliability today the United Press learned that Pope Plus x is extremely anxious for the Uni- ted States to establish a legation at the vatican and has commissioned Cardinal Vincent Vannutelli to nego- tiate with United States Ambassador John G. A. Leishman to this end
 The Pope. it is said, has requested Mgr. Falconio, the apostolic delegate to the United States to have Cardinal Gibbons enlist Archbishops Farley of New York, Ireland of St. Paul, O'Con- nell of Boston and Glennon of St. Louis in support of the plan. In the event that the plan succeeds it is believed that the chances of all these archbishops being raised to the cardi- nalate will be enhanced Cardinal Van nutelli asked Ambassador Leishman to inform his government of the Pope's desires The ambassador promised to do so but refused personally either to support or oppose the measure. Leish- man was seen at the embassy today but he refused to comment on the re port which comes to the United Press from close personal friends of Cardinal Vannuteili It has long been known that the Pope favors closer diploma tic relation between the vatican and the United States but the proposal to establish a United States legation at the vatican has caused great sur prise
