With fine cut. of Geo. Il. Krause
the following Appeared in recent
issue of the Publishers Auxiliary :
Although identified with Nebraska
newspaper work but a short time,
Mr.. Krause has been close to the
printing Office and it's duties for a
quarter Of a century.
The injtiatory steps were taken on
the New London (Minn.) Expositor,
which had three literary heads-all
former school teachers-of which
Mr.. Krause was the Junior manager.
and who afterward in like capacity
put in a couple Of years on publi-
cation at Paynesville. Mimi This
was followed by two years service
on the Wil|mar (Minn.) Republic
cau-Gazette. Then it was that the
subject Of this sketch associated
himself with Judge w. A. Krause
i'll conducting the Moody County
(S.D.) Enterprise at F'andreau, the
work continuing uninterruptedly
until the first Of February last
when he purchased the Humboldt
(Neb) Leader, as was announced
at the time in the columns Of this
publication.
The leader is one of Nebraska S

campaign can be made this year.
The people of the country spoke last
fall in no uncertain tones and let
it be known by their heavy vote for
the no-license candidates for the
legislature how they stood on the
liquor question. Heretofore there
has been more or less uncertainty as
to how they felt on the subject and
what would be their attitude with
reference to doing business in
Litchfeld. That doubt has been
effectually removed.
"Strict regulation and high IL
cense' of which so much was heard
last year has been given a fair
trial and has not proven the success
it's friends hoped it would. At any
rate ''strict regulation" did not
prevent liquor being sold to minors
for which subsequently two licenses
were revoked by the council

SOLUTION OF TELEPHONE DUES
TlON SEEMS CLOSE AT HAND.

There is every prospect that the
ordinance introduced last Monday
evening by Alderman Freeberg will
solve the telephone question which
has vexed the people of the City of
Wi|lmar for some year, back, or
ever since the Bell monopoly Sc
cured control of the local system.
In the first place its passage by the
council and acceptance by the peo-
pie in5ure5 that the rates will be
reduced from $50 and ST Is to
Sl.0O for residence 'phones and
from 81. 50 and So 90 to 200 for
business 'pnones, and these rates
are guaranteed during the life Of
the franchise. This means a saw
ing over the present rates for every
instrument in the city Of from
S3.O0'to SIP 90 per year.
In the second place an independ-
ent exchange will welcome connec-
tions with independent lines, and
Wlllmar connections will no longer
be used as a club to stifle competi-
tion and discourage popular devel-
opment Of the telephone service in
the tributary country.
Thirdly, provision is made SO
that the city can take over the
property any time after three years
and itself get the benefit of the
business if the people so choose.
There are some other points in
the ordinance which will appeal to
all who have taken any interest ir
the telephone fights of this city in
the past. The fact that respons-
IDLE business man with ample capt.
tai comes to our city and makes
this proposition, is complete vim
dication of the stand that the Trib-
une has taken on this question in
the past and singing rebuke of
the attitude Of the telephone trust
and its sympathizers in boostin2
rates and throttling the develop
me t of popular telephone system

Recently Kandiyohi County re-
ceived a great deal of favorable ad-
vertising from the fact that there
was only one divorce to l54 marri-
ages last year, and that one case
was on account of desertion. This
was the best record made in any of
the counties of the state. Now
comes term of the district court
with no grand jury, not single
criminal case on the calendar, and
only five civil cases. There is q
reason.

Starbuck has been dry three years
and the general sentiment is against
a change; but some of the voters
have asked that the question of IL
cense or no-license be voted on at
the coming election, and the tenn

the matter in a most creditable
manner. The Starbuck Times in
it's issue of last week tells how pros
porous they have been without sa-
looms and presents many unassail-
able arguments in favor of remain
