Mary Monl:son.

On Monday morning, July 10th,
occurred the death Of Mary Monson
at the home of her sister south of
this city, peritonitis being the cause
of same. Her death came as shock
both to family and friends, as her
condition was not considered serious
until the day before her death, when
she began to fail rapidly. - .s
The deceased was born on the
home farm in this county on Janu-
ary 10, 1873, and had thus attained
the age Of 33 years, 5 months and 21
days. She had lived at home until
two years ago when she came to this
city and where she has stayed until
last Friday. She then became sud-
denly i'll and was taken to her home
where she died. She leaves to mourn
kind and loving daughter and sis
ter; her father, Bengt Monson; two
sisters, Mrs. Victor Linman south of
town; and Annie Monson of Mime
apolis; and four brothers Andrew
Of Eddy, S. D., Albert, of South Da-
kota, Nels on the farm and John Of
this city.
The funeral services will be held
at tive o'clock this afternoon by
Rev. Carl Oberg from the Linman
home and the deceased will be laid
to rest in the Baptist cemetery.
The bereaved ones have the sin
cere sympathy Of the entire commun-
ity in their sorrow and affliction.

Referring to the three-cent per
mile railroad fare that is charged on
and after July l, the Duluth News
Tribune says: I'm the meanwhile the
supreme court is yet to be heard
from, and until then the advice is
good to all travelling between Minne-
sofa points to take receipts. It may
be worth the difference between two
cents and three cents a mile if the
supreme court decides that inter-
state rates are for each state to fix,
while if that affects inter state rates
IT IS unfortunate but unavoidable.

LARGE BARN !
IS BURNED.
Big Fire Destroys Darl all Coa-
teats O he Oh Lesgee
Place n ollanl.

The large barn on the Mrs. D.
Decker place, in town Of Roseland,
known generally as the Lougee
place from the first owner, Chas. D.
Lougee) burned to the ground last
Sunday afternoon. The tenant liv-
ing on the place is Louis Van den
Einde, and he with the two Oldest
children were attending services at
the Dutch Reformed church Of Rose
land, located about one and q half
miles from the scene Of the fire. Mrs.
Van den Einde was in the house,
and was taking a nap at the time.
The smaller children, were in the
house, with her. The fire attracted
their attention from an upstairs
window and their excitement awak-
ened the mother. About the same
time the blazing barn was seen at
the church and the entire congrega-
tion made it's way to the scene Of the
fire as quickly as possible. Nothing
could be done to save the building
and its contents, except that lot
of oats were shoveled out from the
windward side, after the roof had
crashed in. One horse, two calves
and one pig persisted in the flames.
All the farm machinery, implements,
harness, ETC., on the place except the
wagons and manure-spreader burn
ed. The barn was insured in the
Willmar Farmers Mutual for ST. 800,
and it is understood that Mr.. Van
den Einde had some insurance on
his machinery. Nevertheless it will
be big loss to the parties concern
ed. ~
The origin of the fire is mystery.
The fire was discovered about two
o'clock. No one is known to have
been near the barn since in the
morning. There was about twenty
five tons Of new hay in the barn, and
one theory Of the fire advanced is
that it was caused by spontaneous
combustion, in this hay.
{ The barn was one Of the first a.,d
largest barns built on the prairie, the
farm originally consisting Of a sec
tion Of land.

PARK ASSEMBLY.
FACES CRISIS
Failure Of Public Support Makes
Necessary Changes Imperative
In Order 10 Save Park.

The last season Of the Willmar
Park Assembly was financial fail
ure. At a special meeting of the
stockholders held last evening a re-
port was read which shows that the
receipts for admissions for the ses-
sion just closed will not reach $l700,
scarcel ly more than half Of the re-
ceipts of last year. After all the
ories, reasons and explanations have
been sifted out for this result, the
fact remains prominent that the
great majority Of the people Of the
community will not come out and
patronize this institution, at least
not while under the auspices Of the
stockholders in the park property.
The loss on the program and ex-
penses for the last session will foot
up to more than $1,000, and with fix
ed charges, permanent improve
ments, etc., the deficiency will reach
that much more unless other sources
Of revenue are provided before the
close of the year.
In spite of this showing the stock
holders at the meeting last night, re-
presenting a majority of the stock,
were not discouraged and did not
feel at all disposed to abandon the
park proposition. They felt that
the people Of Willmar cannot afford
to permit this beautiful natural park
to pass into the hands Of individ-
uals and its use as a park be lost to
the community. Therefore, they
adopted temporary means for TAX
ing care of the obligations Of the
Assembly and will make a determin-
ed effort to interest additional means
required to place the park property
on a solid financial basis.
It was further decided at the
meeting that the stockholders will
not be responsible for the programs
Of the future Chautauqua assem-
blies. They will keep up the park
on business bas sis, and will let it for
any legitimate enterprise, without
assuming responsibility for the man
agement Of such enterprise beyond
their function as owners of the pro-
perty. This does not necessarily
mean that there will be no more
Chautauqua assemblies, but it does
mean that if such assemblies are had
they will be managed by some indie:
pendent organization of persons par
ticularly interested in that line of
work, and who will perhaps be in
better position to enlist the public
support than was the Assembly Park
Corporation. Several of the stock
holders present expressed their will
lingness as individuals to assist in
bringing such an organization to
pass.
Considerable sentiment has devel-
oped in favor of using the Assembly
grounds for the annual Street Fair.
The Fair has grown to such proper
tions now that it is almost impossi-
bic to find sufficient room for the
various features on the streets, and
a great deal Of hardship and un-
pleasantness is experienced each
year by the Committee on this &C.
count, in trying to locate the feat
ures without virtually closing up ac-
cess to business houses on the
streets. The Street Fair Committee
will have a meeting in the last part
Of the week to consider this matter.
Negotiations have been opened re-
garding letting the park for anus
ment purposes during the balance of
the season.
