BRAVE OLD SOLDIER
WILL REGAIN SIGHT

Mr.. A. H. Sperry, the honored
citizen Of Willmar, has lately un-
dergone an experience Of the most
excruciating pain in an effort to
regain his eyesight, which much
desired end he most likely will at
tain. we are most happy to state.
Two or three weeks ago he had the
first operation by an eminent spec-
ialist at St. Paul. Last Friday he
underwent the second operation,
and returned to his home here last
Sunday night. That he still retains
the will power and bravery for
which he achieved honor in war time
is evidenced by the fact that he re-
fused to take an anaesthetic during
the operation which involved the
taking out of both eyes. He says
that there is not enough money on
earth to tempt him to again go
thru such an ordeal, but as he is
much benefited in his eyesight, he
says that he does not regret his ex-
perience. He came to the polls at
Third ward yesterday and regis.
tered his ballot for a continued
clean city. His many friends thru:
out the county and elsewhere will
be glad to learn of his Improvement
after the severe suffering he has
experienced.

Cupid Not Rushing Season.

The fact that spring came early
this year did not effect in the least
the number of licenses to wed is
sued by the clerk of court. Altho
March had 29a days Of clear and
sunny weather, but nine (9) couples
secured tickets for the voyage on
the matrimonial sea. Mr.. Ramsett
thinks the dearth of applicants is
due to the fact that Cupid does not
trust March or April, being afraid
that the early buds Of love might
get nipped by a spell Of frosty
weather. So he keeps his plants
pretty we'll covered until June, but
then well, last year he uncovered
no less than q during that month,
and Mr.. Ramsett thinks that dur
ing the coming June he will do still
better. Here's hoping.
During the past week there was
only one license issued viz. to
Karenus Ingmar Hjelle and Sophia
A. Ellingboe.

BARBER SHOP
IS BURNED
RaDue'S T0nS0rial PariOr and
S0derling & Locken's Tailor
Shop Quilted by Flames.

The explosion of gasoline stove
in the barber shop of A. F. Ra Due
in the Ekander building on Fourth
street caused damages amounting
to $500 Monday morning. G. w.
Bacon, who came from South Dako-
ia three days ago to work for Mr..
Ra Due, had filled the gasoline tank
too full, and some of the gasoline
dropped on the floor. When he
lighted the wood alcohol to start
the generator the flame shot out,
and before he could put it out the
fire reached the tank, an explosion
followed, and the fire was beyond
control. The fire department re-
sponded promptly, and soon had
the blaze under control, but all the
fixtures of the barber shop except
the two chairs, were damaged be-
yond repairs. Mr.. Ra Due esti-
mates his loss at about $400, with
no insurance. Mr.. Bacon lost
about $100 worth Of tools and CLOTH
ing. The damage to the stock and
fixtures of the tailoring establish
ment of Locken & Soderling in the
same building is estimated at about
$500. with $400 insurance, while the
damage to the building will prob
ably amount to about $500, fully
covered by insurance. Neither Mr..
Ra Due nor Locken & Soderling
have as yet decided whether they
will continue in business in the
building.
