Cured at the home Of his daughter,
Mrs. Renius Swenson, in this city
last Monday evening at 1926 o'clock,
at ripe age Of seventy-eight years.
ten months and eleven days. " Z
The deceased was born at Oppman-
ma parish, Scania, Sweden. He was
born December II, 1888. He emf
grated to America in 1867, and came
to Chicago, where he spent two
years. In the following year he To-
Gated a claim in the township of
Whitefield in Kandiyohi county and
arrived here permanently in 1869.
His homestead was located about
miles south of Willmar. In 1865 he
was married to Miss Inga Olsdotter,
who survives him, and is now in her
eightieth year. Four children were
born to them, one son and three
daughters. The son is A. P. Harold
Of Spokane, Wash. The daughters
are Mrs. Minnie Rostade of Battle
Lake, Mimi, and Mesdames Chas. S.

The Gov. Johnson Memorial.

Last Saturday afternoon, Oct. 10,
occurred the unveiling of the John
Albert Johnson statue in front of
the State Capitol at St. Paul. Con-
tributions were received for this
memorial from every county in the
state. The total raised was $24,-
O72.71, Of which $31i.61 came from
Kandiyohi county. OF the latter
amount $89.15 came thru the Will.
mar Tribune and $86.12 from tho
schools Of the county. The amounts
contributed by each was made small
so that the fund would represent a.
gift from the many rather than larg,.
gifts from few. It is likely that
the Kandiyohi county quota repres-
ented donations from 1900 people
including the school children who
gave pennies or niclles.
The statue presents a heroic like
ness of the late Gov. Johnson in
bronze. The four figures on the pei
estal are miner, a farmer, an iron

SEMINARY OPENS
PROMISING YEAR
The Attendance Greater Than In
Former Years-lmprove-
ments Are Made.

Three weeks have passed since
the Willmar Seminary began it's 31st
school year. Everything this year
points to a record breaking year. Il
is very many years since so many
students were enrolled at this time
Of the year. On Monday, Oct. 21si
there were 80 students enrolled
This is II more than the enrolment
last year for the same time.
The fact that we were unable to
get the work on the new heating
plant and the new gymnasium COM
pleted last summer, is a slight han
dicap. But the work is now pro-
crossing rapidly, and we hope soon
to be able to announce that the work
is all completed. When completed it
will be a great Improvement in the
Seminary. The new heating plant
will be a good one. It will be guar
anteed to heat every room in the
building to a temperature Of 20 de-
grees in the coolest weather. The
new gymnasium will, Of course, fll
a long felt want. Previous years we
have been obliged TO rent a hall if
we wished to partake in winter
indoor athletics. We will now have
a hall large enough for all sorts of
indoor contests, including basketball.
This room has also been equipped
with an excellent stage and two
small dressing rooms. This room
will now serve as gymnasium, assem-
bly, room and chapel A few other
minor improvements have also been
made.
The faculty counts two new men,
bers. Miss Leonora Boyd of this
city has taken the place Of Miss
Gudmundson in charge of, the STEM
ography Department. Miss Evelyn
Grindeland Of Warren, Minn., has
taken charge of the Music Depart
ment. This department is a new
feature at the Seminary. The fact
that the Seminary has secured the
services Of as able a musician as
Miss Grindeland, insures the success
of this department. from the start,
Vocal and instrumental lessons are
given. Many have already enrolled
for music and many more are ex-
pected. Anyone csn register in this
Department whether they attend the
Seminary or not.
In athletics the Seminary has much
good material this year. A football
team has already been in the field
for two weeks. They have played
two games and have acquitted them
selves with great credit altho one OF
the games was a defeat. The most
important game of the schedule
comes next Tuesday, when the Sem
mary meets the local high school
The Seminary and the high school
are naturally keen rivals in athlet-
les. This rivalry is however, caus-
ing, if anything, a more friendly
spirit between the schools than has
existed in years past. This is as it
should be. The keener the rivalry
the better as long as it is friendly
and does not breed i'll will. These
athletic contests between the high
school and Seminary are Of great
financial benefit to the athletic de-
partments Of both schools.
The Osseo Literary society has
already begun the years work and
gave it's first program last Tuesday
night.
Everything considered this looks
like a big year at the Willniar Sem.
