Willmar claimed number of dis

Governor A. 0. Eberhard. who was
on his way to Litchfeld where he
was to speak at Farmers Insti-
tute. He looked tired, but said he
felt pretty good considering the
fact that he had been on the jump
for such long time. When asked
regarding the political situation he
said it was too early to state any,
thing definite but he thought
things "were looking bright"
Then there was Judge Loren w.

viii Give Concert Here.

Arrangements have been made for
a concert to be given by the Elenora
Olson Concert company Of Chicago
next Wednesday evening, February
16, at the basement of the Lutheran
Synod church, the company coming
here under the auspices of the
Young Peoples society of that
church. The members of the COM
pany are Miss Eleanora Olson, mez-
20 soprano, Miss Ethel C. Olson,
soprano, reader and impersonator,
and Miss Alice R. Walden, pianist.
They gave a concert here about a
year ago, and it was one of the fin
est musical treats ever heard in
Willmar. On account of unfavor-
able weather the audience was
small at that time, and it is to be
hoped that this year the company
will get the crowd they deserve.
The admission will be Is cents.

INSTI-
TUTE TN MARCH
Dates Have Been Fixed 10 the
18th and 18th. Good Roads
Rally in Connection.

Gov. A. E. Rice informs the
Tribune that the dates for the
farmers institute to be held at
Willmar this spring are the 18th
and 18th Of March. Forest Henry
and his able corps of assistants will
conduct the institute. From Will
mar the corps will 60 to New Lon
don to conduct an institute there.
A feature in connection with the
institute on the afternoon or even
ing Of the 18th will be the good
roads rally under the auspices Of the
Willmar Commercial Club. 1t was
the original intention that this rail-
ly should take place in February,
but after due consideration it was
decided that it would be better to
wait until after the town elections,
so that the newly elected supervis-
ors and road overseers can be pres
ent. Engineer Cooley of the State
Highway Commisson will be the
principal speaker at the rally, and
his talk will be of especial interest
to all who are interested in seeing
better roads. The Tribune will
give further information regarding
the institute in later issues. Will
mar always has been known for the
big and interesting institutes held
here, and every effort will be made
to the end that the 1910 institute
will be up to the usual mark.

Eismann Returns from Germany.

Chris Fl. Eismann returned Satur-
day from a six-months' visit at his
old home at Holstine, Germany,
Where he had not visited in twenty
years. He was one of the 5000
Americans who assembled at the de-
pot at Berlin to meet Roosevelt and
he was also a passenger with the
Roosevelt family on the Kaiserin
Augusta Victoria. On shipboard the
eX-president held an informal recep-
tion at which he had greeting and
kind word for each one of the pas
sengers. Mr.. Eismann says his
father and mother are about ready
to return to Grants Pass and within
a yea" will again become residents of

WELLS FARGO RATE
HAS BEEN REDUCED
Local Rates Have Been Materially
Lessened by the Railroad
Commission.

The state railroad commission has
this day made an order cutting all
the merchandise and general
special" rates of the Wells Fargo
company about 20 per cent. The
order reduces about 10000 rates be-
tween points on rail lines where the
Wells Fargo & Company do bust
ness in this state
This matter has been under inves-
tigation by the commission for over
a year and a most exhaustive inves-
tigation has been conducted. The
history of the Wells Fargo & Com
pany from pioneer days has been
gone into and all old accounts and
earnings examined and analyzed.
Every express rate in force in the
United States was looked up and
comparison made
The rates affected are the "mer-
chandise' and general specials"
The merchandise rates, about $1,000
in number are all set out in the or
der but the general special rates
are to be ascertained by scale
which is set forth in and made
part of the order.
While the order directly applies
to only merchandise and general
special rates it indirectly affects
most of the company's other rates.
This is due to the fact that most
express rates are based on the
merchandise rates of the company
and as these have been cut by the
commission It will result in a re-
duction of many other rates.
There are set forth below a few
of the old and new merchandise

Our genial townsman, |. A. Robie
spent the Fourth in Medford, and
while there met a number of wise
ones who always know what's going
to happen and they backed up their
opinions with good hard money, to-
wit, that Jeffries would win the
fight. The Grants Pass man took
'em as fast as they came and return
ed home 5000 richer than when he
left, and the crowd that bet against
the nigger don't feel, after all, that
they really know everything that's
going to happen.

BON VOYAGE.

ITO Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. p Cramer)
Our thoughts sail out DER the deep blue main
And follow your sturdy ship.
May the sea be smooth and the weather fair
With nothing to mar your trip.
Make friends with your fellow-passengers;
Mayhap you will meet more
In a distant land in years to come
And will talk OF the days OF yore
When YOU sailed on the fine New Amsterdam
To the kingdom across the wave.
To the land of tulips and windmils and dkes;
To the land of Holland the brave.
When you go to Berlin tell Billy the Great,
That Teddy and he a pair
As he runs the world on the other side,
so in Teddy's care.
And naught go wrong while they are alive
So God in His heaven rest;
For they will look out while He is asleep
And will order all things for the best.
But wherever you roam in foreign lands,
We shall miss your presence bright
We will count the days till your ship returns
And will welcome you home with delight
