THE OLD BELOVED
PASTOR LAID TO REST

The funeral services Of the late
Rev. 0. Estrem, which were held at
the Synod church last Wednesday,
were largely attended. Many came
from away to show their love and
respect for this highly esteemed
pastor, who wherever he has worked
has been loved and honored by all
his parishioners.
There was special music by a
quartette, and Miss Helen Sather
sang, "Face to Face.'' Rev. T. O..
Tolo Of Belgrade preached the fu-
neral sermon, Rev. J. N. Andersen,
pastor Of the Synod church. spoke
on behalf of the congregation, Rev.
D. c. Jordahl spoke for the confer
ence of which he is president, Rev.
E. A. Boyd of Rarnesville, paid a
beautiful tribute to the deceased,
speaking of the peace and happi-
ness of the last hours of this good
man. He also spoke for the young
people of the Synod church, many
of whom had been confirmed by
Rev. Estrem during his pastorate
here. Rev. S. J. N. Ylvisaker said
a few words on behalf of the fami-
ly.
A profusion of beautiful flowers
covered the casket' and we're ar
ranged-in the church. The burial

JOHN ERICkSON'S NAME
IS COMMlEMORATED

A good deal of pluck. en-
terprise and ingenuity was dis
played by a number of our young
men in arranging as special fea-
ture for last Friday, Swedish Day,
of the Willmar Park Assembly. a
sham battle on Foot lake. The
spectacle was to represent the his
toric fight between the Merrimac
and the Monitor at Hampton roads.
Five vessels had been rugged up
to participate in the event. There
was the giant Merrimac, with it's
ponderous slanting sides Of armor.
There was the Monitor with sure
enough revolving turret. and there
were the three frigates, the Cum
berland, Congress and Minnesota.
The ramming of the Cumberland
and the sinking of the Congress were
we'll carried out and afforded an
interesting sight to the thousands
of spectators who lined the shore.
At the climax however, the Moni-
tors engines, unlike those of its il
lustrious original, refused to work
and prevented her from clrcljng
around the Merrimac as planned.
Her guns however continued to
play and so accurate was her fire
that the Merrimac soon retreated
from the fight horribly disabled and
whipped to a frazzle, and the Min
nesota was saved. The shore batter
les on both the confederate and Un-
ion sides kept up a constant fire.
A number of visitors here from
Chicago told the Tribune that they
had seen two or three attempts
to reproduce this naval fight on a
more pretentious scale in that great
city, but never with the attention
to detail and historical fact that
was given the show on Swedish
Day at Willmar. The feature was
planned, worked out and paid for
by enthusiastic young descendants
of the same race as that Of John
Erickson. the inventor Of the Moni-
tor and screw propeller, etc. etc.
independent Of the Assembly COM
mittee.

Cure for Broken Dishes.

The Cokato Enterprise claims
that lady of that town has found
sure cure. for broken dishes.
the dish to be mended can be tied
together with a stout string then
place it in boiling milk and leave
it for one hour. You can never
tell the dish had been broken and
it can afterwards be put in boiling
water without the pieces coming
apart. This experiment has been
tried and proven and many are the
broken dishes which are now as
good as new.

COMMITTEE INSPECTS
RESIDENCE GROUNDS

The first examination of private
residence grounds by the committee
on public improvements, Of the
Willmar Commercial Club, was
made Friday, July 18th, as regards
progress for 1910 for the best kept
flower gardens, shrubs, lawns,
boulevards, etc. The committee
noticed a further improvement this
year in the keeping Of the streets
in front of each residence clean of
grass and weeds, a d those parties
who do so will be given due credit
on the score sheet, in fact as high
as the committee are allowed to
score. Flowers and lawns do not
look quite as we'll as last year on
account of the hot and dry season,
but, no doubt, will pick up later
on.
The park board will have to make
an example of some boys if they do
not stop whiting the tables and
benches in Homewood Park.
