afternoon game, 3 to /, and the lat

Lady" ball club consisted of four
women players and the rest men.
OF the "goils" Carrie made the
greatest hit. being equally expert
with her wagon-tongue bat and her
wiggin' tongue chat. Annie Olson
was a close second favorite. The
ball hit her more than she did it,
but neither the pitcher nor the ball
could help it, for Annie patched ur
a considerable hole in the atmos.

The evening game was some.
thing of a farce. indoor baseball
taking the place of the real thing
but the crowd was a good natured
one, and everything that happened
was taken with good grace. Car.

Willmar, the giggles, and he had
quite a time controlling the ball.
He got away with it pretty we'll,
tho, and would have won his game
but for a few bad errors on the part

Fairness" Failure in Legislation.

The Republican, takes issue with the Tribune
regarding Senator Nelson and Clapp voting against
further reduction of the tariff print paper 1t de-
clares such action wise and closes by saying that
the proper way to promote good legislation is to be
fair
The Tribune contends that the fairness of the peo
pies representatives in conceding ANYTHING in the
line of special privileges to private interests is wrong
in principle and in practice leads to the ills with
which the country is contending
This fairness is what led to the formulation of the
tariff bill with its Ubiquitous provisions.
The peoples president was "fair and their represent
atves in Congress far but the special interests
conceded thing but rather increased their de-
n1ands
These senators had been so "far during the formu-
ation and early workings of the tariff contest that they
found it political necessity to repudate the whole
bill at the end by voting against it..
Does the Gazette differ with them and still declare
that the Arch bill compiled thru the fairness of the
peoples representatives is good legislaton?"

tween the parent and the physician.

young man and impart to him the sit

He suffered a terrible shock. He
was about to rush away to confront
the girl be was to marry the next
morning with the accusation when his
father stopped him. and the doctor ex-
planned that she might possibly be
unconscious Of ever having committed
the crime. An accusation, especially
at such time, might be attended with
serious effects. Before the conference
was ended the young man decided
with his fathers consent. that the mar.
riage should take place without any
postponement.
The doctor was to discover whether
the bride was conscious Of her act and
promised to inform me of the result
of his investigation. His report was
that she had no consciousness of il
whatever.
What was it that conveyed the in
formation of it to me-? That is mys

The Prince and the Bell.

When Edward VII. of England was
Prince of Wales he was in Philadel-
phia in 1860 and he took great interest
in the relics of the Revolutionary pc
riod, although his visit to Independence
hall was projected purely in spirit Of
mischief by his entertainers. In rum
maging in the garnet the party discov-
cred the old cracked bell, which had
been somewhat contemptuousy hid
den away. and this more than any
other relic seemed to fascinate the
prince, whose words have been thus re-
ported:
''This old bell is the greatest relic
this republic has today. Instead of be-
ing here. covered with this Accumulate
ed dirt. it should occupy the chief
place in this hall of independence. It
is to you what the Magma Charta is tC
England. 1t is cracked. but it is an
inspiration. Believe me, my friends
it affects me more than anything
have been shown
The good sense Of this suggestion ap
pealed Immediately to the pride and
sensibility Of. the cuStodians Of the
relics. and from that moment the Lib
| erty bell took Its "chief place in the
hall of Independence.

KILLED BY LIGHTNING
IN NORTH DAKOTA

A telegram was received here
from Page, N. D., Friday by Sen.
L. O. Thorpe, announcing that
Haldor Bjork, young man who
has made Willmar his home for the
past three years, had been killed
that day by lightning. Following
instructions sent from here, the
remains were buried up there. No
particulars regarding the occur
renee have been received here so
far. The deceased was cousin of
John and Christ Bergstad of this
city. He came from Norway about
three years ago. A short time ago
he left for the wheat fields of North
Dakota. and he was presumably
working for some farmer near
Page.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT The
CONDITION OF FOOT LAKE,
CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.

basins. especially in the business
part of the city, the doors of which
are offensive and menace to the
public health. We all know that it
would help a great deal if the lake
were kept up to its normal level so
that the sewage would be diluted
by the water in the lake, but the
real remedy for the city is to put
in a complete system of sewerage,
septic tanks, etc. The experience
of very many cities in this country
who have had epidemics of typhoid
and cholera under conditions SINH
lar to ours, with great loss of life
besides an enormous expenditure of
money. ought to teach US that the
time has come when the city must
do something, if not, they will be
prohibited from discharging any
more sewage either into the lake or
county ditch.

The Foot Lslee Question.
Editor Willmar Tribune.

Editor Willmar Tribune.
Dear Sir:
At various times during the last
months ! have noticed items in the
local papers relative to the condi-
ton of Foot Lake. Last week the
papers contained the report that
the city council had appointed q
committee to confer with the par
ties that enjoined the construction
of the proposed dam at the outlet
of the lake, with a view to secur-
ing the dismissal of the suit. In
making this announcement one of
the papers comments thereon in
such way as to infer that the
waters Of Foot Lake are in such
condition as to endanger the health
Of the residents of the city and that
this condition is caused by low wa
ter. The idea sought to be con-
veyed is. no doubt, that this dan
gerous state of affairs is caused by
reason of the fact that the proposed
dam was not constructed and thus
to create sentiment in favor of this
dam. While do not believe that
the local press is the proper forum
for the trial of lawsuits, still it
seems to me that, if it is true that
the waters of Foot Lake are in such
condition as to endanger public
health, this state of affais cannot
possibly be by reason of the low
stage of the water. If there is
danger, it must be because the
waters have been and are being
polluted. do not say that this is
so. but l must infer that such is
the case; and if this be true some
person or persons must be guilty of
polluting the waters of Foot Lake
by depositing or allowing to be de-
posted therein substances that have
no business there and which would
have the same effect on the water
whether high or low.
It seems to me, Mr.. Editor, that
if conditions exist, as they are said
to exist, with respect to the waters
of this lake and if they have been
and are being polluted, as it would
seem they are, then some official or
officials are derelict in their cuty,
or such conditions cn,,ld not av;s+
/ believe l am as much interested
as anyone in preserving the public
health, and if it is true that we are
in danger of an epidemic, as is SC
often stated, then it is high time
that the proper officials do their
duty in removing the cause; the
effect will no doubt take care of it.
