BASE BALL

The River Falls base ball team
played two games here this week,
winning from the Starkels of Still
water Sunday and playing six score
less innings with the Boston Grays
of St. Paul Tuesday. Symes and
Maiers were the local battery
for both games. The Sunday game
was close and exciting up to the
seventh inning, when the visitors
fell down on their fielding and al
lowed the locals to win out with
a score of 6 to 2. Grady and
Presto were the battery for the
Saltwater team. In Tuesdays
game Nadon, the visiting slab art
ist, had the Indian sign painted all
over the locals, retiring thirteen by
the strike-out route, and allowing
but one safe bingle. Symes got
nine strike-outs and allowed but
one hit. The game was called
at the close of the sixth inning to
allow the St. Paul players to catch
the train.

FROM DOWN EAST

While contemplating reorganized
changes in New England for the
last half century perhaps it will not
be out of place to speak of what old
residents say of the climate. The
remark is frequently made by the
older people that the climate has
perceptibly changed since their
childhood. They say the winters
are not so severely cold and the
summers are not so hot. They per-
sist in this contention notwithstand-
ing the assertion of meteorologists
that the average temperature, COM
pairing a series of recent years with
an equal number of years in the
last century, shows no unusual
change, Yet it seems to rs that the
winters of the past three or four
years were milder than the winters
of half century ago. We remem-
Der winters when even in southern
Rhode Island the snow banks would
be so high we tunneled them and
made caves in the interior, and at
times a cold rain froze as it fell,
forming a coat of ice on the ground
so that we could skate over the
fields, and thick ice remained on
the ponds for months. AS matter
of course the farther from the sea
the more snow would cover the
landscape.
In the first year of the Civil War
snow covered Vermont and New
Hampshire to such depth that all
walls and fences were obliterated
and it rem aimed on the ground until
April. Along toward the last
of February a heavy rain fell that
settled into the snow and a colder
temperature caused 1t to freeze,
forming a crust on the snow so stiff
as to support team of horses with
a sleigh-load of wood. Farmers
hauled loads with teams for miles
across fields over the walls and
fences and boys had rare fun coast
ing down the hills on this crust.
No such snow storms have been
seen i'll recent years.
The great scourge of New Eng
land is tuberculoSiS-con
One third of all the deaths of
people between the ages of Is and
As are due to this insiduous disease
The climate has been held respon-
sible for this result, but it is begin
ing to be seen, we think, that the
climate here is no more conducive
to this disease than the climate Of
any other section of the country.
Last year 100000 people died of tu-
berculosis in the United States.
tuberculosis is a preventable dis
ease. Habits are more responsible
for the malady than climate. The
greatest death rate from consump
ton is in the manufacturing towns
The textile factories develop vast
amount of dust, as do also the iron
working shops. Dust is prolific
generator of the disease. In the
early settlements of the western
states circulars were sent out pre-
tending to show the healthfulness
of the climate by the low death rate,
emphasizing especially the fact
that very few died of consumption.
California claimed to be SO healthy
in climate that consumptives rapid
1y recovered there. Now there are
more victims of that disease in Cal
ifornia than in any other state. A
little consideration will determine
that in these states that were claim
ed to be so health full it was the
conditions under which the people
lived who resided there and the ad-
ded fact that the early immigrants
were robust and healthy should be

UNION MEMORIAL
SERVICES

Nearly six hundred people attend
ed the Union Memorial services at
the Congregational church last Sun
day morning, including about for
ty members of l. N Nichols Post,
G. A. R., and as many more from
the w. r. C.. Each member of the
Post was presented with boquet
of sweet peas by the Sunday school
and the printed program furnished
by the church was carried through
in a manner most satisfactory to
the veterans. The Scripture lesson
was read and prayer offered by Rev.
G. A. Bird. Miss Powell played
"Siegfried's Death" for voluntary
and Sadness of Soul" for an offer
tory and the anthem by the choir
was Vests Il Will Give You Rest"
A solo, God Shall Wipe Away all
Tears" was sung in a very sympa-
thetic manner by Miss Zinn.
The sermon by Rev. VIM. ]. Gray
had for its text words from Gal.
SIG, Having Shod str feet with
the Preparation of the Gospel of
Peace" AS this was Peace Sun
day Mr.. Gray connected the events
of the Civil war and other great
movements in history with the
Divinity which shapes our end"
for that 'far off divine event toward
which all creation moves" He
spoke of three factors making for
peace. The first was this fact of a
universal, overriding spirit in the
affairs of all men. AS nation, we
own Him who has made US and
guided our course. Through the
vista of fifty years the Civil War
takes its place as one of the Great
Movements of the universal God for
universal peace. The progress OF
Christian nations in the methods of
warfare and in the spirit of peace
was placed as a second great infu-
ence for peace, while the old soldier
was given an important part, as he
taught the rising generation to seek
peace and to pursue 1t.
The closing hymn, printed on the
program, was written by Prof. Geo
H. Huntington of Carleton college,
and is approved by Mr., Carnegie as
an intern ational hymn of peace.
Tune-AMERICA.
Two empires by the sea.
Two nations great and free.
One anthem raise,
One race of ancient fame,
One tongue. one faith we claim.
One God, whose glorious name
We love and praise.
What deeds our fathers wrought.
What battles we have fought.
Let fame record.
Now vengeful passion, cease;
Come victories of peace;
Nor hate. nor pride caprice,
Unsheath the sword.
Though deep the sea, and wide.
Twiixt realm and realm, its tide
Binds strand to strand.
So be the gulf between
Gray coasts and islands green
With bonds of peace serene
And friendship spanned.
Now may the God above
Guard the dear land we love.
Both East and West.
Let love more fervent glow.
As peaceful ages go,
And strength more stronger grow
Blessing and blest.

Normal School Graduates

The following is list of the can
didates in the Normal school for
the diploma and certificate this
year. If all of these people are sue
cessful in their examinations there
will be graduating class of fifty
nine, the largest ever graduated
from the school. 1t will be OBJ
served that twenty-nine of these
candidates for the diploma are high
school graduates. This is due to
the fact that during the past two
years the number of high school
graduates in the school has been
almost doubled. 1t is also inter
esting to note that very few stu
dents take out the elementary certi-
fcate now, whereas in years past
most of the graduates of the school
were from the elementary class.

NOMINATIONS ARE IN ORDER.
Names of Contestants For the Car
nival Prizes Should be
Filed Next Week.

The spink-spank new Maxwell
roadster that the Street Fair As
ISOLATION will give to the winner of
The carnival contest is. on exhibition
at Lars Halvorson's garage. The
ballot boxes have been placed in the
drug stores ready to receive nomina-
tons for contestants. All that is
necessary to get into the game is to
deposit an official ballot in one Of
the boxes with the name Of the pros
pective contestant written on the
same. Official ballots are for sale
at all drug stores. Votes cost one
penny each, the proceeds to go to-
wards paying the costs Of the big
carnival that is put on free for all
during each day of the Street Fair.
We understand that some of our
rural carriers are contemplating en-
tering the contest. At this writing,
the ballot boxes had not been OPEN
ed for listing the first nominations,
but by next week no doubt there will
be a number Of names which we will
publish with the initial standings.
The contest is open to any and all.
Either the auto or the second prize,
a Hinze piano, are well worth the
while of some hustling for anyone
who would like to have them.

DR.. Odland is plain, rugged and in

Mr.. Sundt, the leader, will find it ne

full Of enthusiasm and push. We
hope he can be made to stay in our

Two Addresses at Free Church.

U"V NuusC SOVS al &c 0UOsv vi.
DR.. Odland, dean of the faculty of
the recently organized university and
theological seminary Of Christiania,
Norway, was in Willmar last Sun
day speaking twice at the Free
church.
The distinguished scholar and
theologian came to America some
time ago and is making a tour thru
the Northwest. He is accompanied
by Prof. Holland Of the Augsburg
Seminary, and Rev. Michaelson came
in from his vacation to be present
on the occasion of the Professors

In Norway, as in other countries

INSURANCE MEN Meet.
Central Life Agents of Minnesota
Have Business and Social
S, SesSI0n

A number Of the Minnesota agents
Of the Central Life Insurance So
ciety were at Willmar last Wednes-
day and Thursday in business and
social session. Mr.. H. G. Everett,
the secretary Of the company, from
Des Moines, Iowa, was here and met
with them. Wednesday evening the
members Of the Willmar Commercial
club were invited to meet with the
agents at the Commercial Club rooms
and goodly number responded:
They were rewarded for their pains
by hearing a splendid practical talk
on the subject Of life insurance by
Mr.. Everett. In the course Of his
remarks he made allusion to the fact
that the Central Life has over a half
million Of insurance in force in
Kandiyohi county, and paid Willmar
and the county some very fattering
compliments. He explained the Iowa
state laws regulating the insurance
business; showing that every con-
tract made by the company is backed
by securities deposited with the
State. All those present had the
pleasure Of meeting Mr.. Everett per-
sonally and the session closed with
social chat. On Thursday after
noon the agents and their ladies were
the guests Of State Agent J. F. Bran
ton at the latter's cottage on the
beautiful Crescent Beach at Green
Lake. The Willmar editors were
fortunate enough to secure an invi-
tation to spend the afternoon with
the insurance men, and it was a
pleasure thoroughly appreciated and
enjoyed by them. The entertainment
included trip along the lake shore
in the launch Tepeetonka and a de-
licious dinner served at the Branton
cottage. Covers were laid for TWEEN
ty and the favors were pansies. The
outing was very enjoyable one to
all who participated. The Central
Life agents effected an organization
and expect to make an annual event
Of similar meetings in the future: Mr..
Everett has q pleasing personality
and made firm friends Of all the per-
sons whom he met here. They hope
to see him here often in the future.
He paid Mr.. Branton and the Mime
sofa Agency very good compliment
and stated as his belief that the,
foundations had been laid for a large
and successful business for his com
pany in Minnesota. : 5:55s

the desperate struggle. The end Of
the club, which is about three feet
long, has . bolt fastened thru it, and
had this come in contact with the
head Of the sheriff he would certain
" have sustained q fractured skull.
AS stated before the sheriff had
been suspicious Of these prisoners,
and had removed every article from
the Jail to the line Of pokers, etc.,
which might be used as weapons but
he did not think Of the possibility Of
breaking up the beds.
The sherif's injuries were dressed
by Dr.. H. E. Frost and the sheriff did
not regard them as serious, although
warned to remain quiet. Thursday
afternoon he began to feel worse and
was induced to 60 to bed. Forum
ately the i'll effects were only tenn
porary, and he now is getting along
nicely except for the chatting he ex-
periences in not being able to locate
amy clues Of his escaped prisoners.
But Sheriff Blonde is not easily dis
couraged and he has long memory,
and he may yet have the satisfac-
ton Of locating his assailants and
giving them their just deserts.
The escaped prisoners are describ-
ed as follows: va
Fred Foster 5 feet, z inches
weight $50; blue eyes; dark hair
streaked with gray; dark complex
ion; stock build; fat-topped head
40 years old; arrow tattoed on right
fore arm; is stoop- shouldered; has
a Gillette safety razor. Left jail
shoe-less, hatless and coatless
wearing blue serge trousers and
black shirt with white stripes.
| Thomas. Roach S feet, IL inches
weight l65; rather stoop-shouldered
auburn hair; brown eyes and light
complexion; 80 years old; dressed
blue serge suit and black sateer
shirt.
Both men were beardless.
They were held here pending al
investigation Of the next grand jury
and were charged with burglary ant
the theft Of shoes and other mer.
chandise from Mr.. Norell's store a,
Kandiyohi station. They were cap
tured by Sheriff Langum Of Henne
pin county at Long Lake. on tn
charge Of rifing a freight car. Thi.
charge could not be proven, bu

shoes at Kandiyohi. The very wit
ness whose testimony bound then
over to the grand jury is suspecte,
Of being confederate. It is doubt
full if the charge could have bee,

they did not want to take any chanc
les, not knowing what other charge
might have been found against then
