CALDERwooD VICTORY.
OaAHyElKt NFOOD VIOLOKtI-
His Delegation to County Convention
Elected by % Majority in Repub-
Iican Caucus.

ican Caucus.
The still hunt for the St. Johns
| bury senatorship ended last Thurs
cay evening when $50 voters had
been driven from cover and recorded
their choice for county senator in
the republican caucus held at the
town hall and resulted in a decisive
victory for C. A. Calderwood and
his friends. There were two quite
unusual features in the caucus
While the balloting was in progress
three men were seen to go into the
booths apparently to mark their ball
let's before placing then in the hat
They were greeted with applause
when they came out. Some fur coats
were also seen in the line of voters
waiting to deposit their votes but the
unusual weather made them SO ap-
propriate that they did not attract
half the attention straw hat in |
April would. However it will prob |
ably be many years before one will |
again see men wearing fur overcoats
at a caucus in the middle of June.
The caucus opened on time and
r. w. Simonds was elected chairman
and Jason M. Cady secretary. When
nominations we're called for James
B. Campbell rose and in a neat
speech presented the following tick
et:-
Delegates N. Smythe, Hen
ry r. Albee, Herbert A. Lougee,
Rev. e. E. Grant, Frank G. Landry,
George A. Burbank, Henry E. Byron,
Frank N. Carr, Frank e. Spaulding,
Harry M. Nelson.
In closing he said these delegates
would support c. A. Calderwood of
st. Johnsbury and L. A. Darling of
Burke for senators, w. p. Smith. for
judge of probate and w. H. Worthen
for sheriff.
H. H. Carr followed presenting
the following ticket
Delegates-C. A. Cramton, E. e.
Sargent, George G. Cary, E. ~R.
o. G. Sargent, w. d. Will
comb, J. A. Lachance, H. A. Stan
ley, w. J. Bigelow, John w. ST.
nonds.
Mr.. Carr made the same statement
as Mr. Campbell as to who the dele ,
gates would support
The ballot box was kept open
for a full hour and just before
closing it Chairman Simonds an
the following tellers:-
H. HI. Carr, James b. Campbell, j.
Il. Brooks, c.. w. Ruiter and z. p.
Hamilton.
The result Of the vote was as fol-
ows: Whole number of votes cast
$50; necessary for choice; 346; OF
.hese the Kicker delegation had,

Will Improve City Plant.

The Water & Light Commission Of
Willmar will shortly recommend to
the City Council some thoro-going
improvements and additions to the
city plant. This will include a COM
plete overhauling Of all poles and
wires in the city, and perhaps the
addition Of the latest patterns of en-
gines and generating dynamos. An
expert engineer has been employed
during the past two weeks to thoro-
ly inspect the plant and his finding
together with those Of the local SUI
perintendent will be used as the bas-
is for the plans proposed. The pro-
posed improvements will add to the
efficiency and earning capacity of
the plant at the. same time that it
will become possible to reduce rates.
The Water and Light Board is to be
congratulated on their move to keep
in line with the progress and devel-
opment of our city.

The Junior Class Play.

The Junior class Of the local high
school presented their play Glow tht
Vote Was Won," with specialties, tc
a large and appreciative audience a
the high school auditorium Friday
evening, April IL. The program was
opened by a clever presentation OF
a specially, "Old Sweethearts," with
Homer Chase and Myrtle Porter as
chief characters. As each sweetheart
was discussed he appeared at a win
dow in full view of the audience and
added much to the enjoyment Of the
situation.
The second specially presented
created much merriment. It was an
nounced before hand that the aud
ience would be favored with a selec-
tion upon his own instrument by
Professor Pokuses, the well-known
organist and entertainer Of Copen-
hagen. As the curtain rose the aud
ience was confronted by a pipe or
gan having immense pipes and key
board. The professor exhibited
wonderful skill and gave evidence Of
careful training while his complex in
strument responded with sounds
such as no ordinary instrument
could hope to produce. The secret
of such extra ordinary music lies in
the fact that each pipe Of the organ
enclosed a boy student Of the school.
During this time the Seniors had
been making known their existence
by such diversions as class yells,
class poems and hosting Of tha his
torical dummy.
After the audience had been thus
prepared 1t was ready to enjoy "How
the Vote Was Won." In this the
suffragette situation was success
fully brought out with plenty Of hu-
NOR and laughable situations. The
woeful plight of the man and the
stubborn insistence Of the suffra-
gettes was humorous indeed. Ger
aid Geer and Rose O'Neil as leading
characters and every other member
Of the cast did full justice to their
parts.
The evenings program was not
long but enjoyable in the fullest sense
Of the word and it is also of inter
est to us to learn that the affair was
a financial success, the receipts am
ounting to a trifle more than $54.

HAY MARKET
ESTABLISHED
Willmar Authorities Ask Coop
GRAFTON Of Public I'm Abolish
iDQ Street Stablinq.

Mayor Wellin is showing COM
mendable zeal in the matter of i'm
proving the looks Of the streets and
public places of the city. We be-
lieve that all the people of our citv
should feel a justiiable pride in the
tidy appearance of the streets, (and
we are sure that all do whether they
admit it or not.)
In line with the work Of cleaning
up the streets and safeguarding the
public on the same is the attempt
now being made by our city author
tiles to abolish the old-time hitching
post and the custom Of stabling
teams on the street. The city coun-
Gil has leased the old mill lot and ad-
joining property for use as a hay
market and general hitching place
for farmers having produce to sell or
who feel that they cannot afford to
patronize one Of the ample feed
barns Of the city. This market will
have entrances from Pacific avenue
from Benson avenue and Seventh
street.
Billboards will be erected around
the exposed portions Of the lots as
wind breaks, and this will give a safe
place for teams where they will not
be frightened by automobiles running
close by as is the case on the streets.
The idea Of having a'place where all
hay loads and other produce brought
in for sale may be found is good
one, and after the people become
accustomed to the new plan they will
find that it has many advantages.
The City of Willmar has now a
good and ample line Of feed barns,
where accommodations may be had
at very reasonable prices. AS con-
ditions were last fall there was nc
alternative but to stable horses on
the street, but with the erection OF
three good public barns there will
henceforth be no difficulty in finding
stable-room. For the small fee re-
quired for stabling, no one can hard
ly afford to leave a team Of horses
unattended on the city streets, fol
any length of time.
There is no disposition on the part
Of the city authorities to make any
trouble for anyone coming to Will.
mar, but simply to adopt a policy
| that will work out for the good o1
all and help improve the looks Of
the city and safeguard those using
the streets. The practice Of tying
horses to electric poles is a yer!
dangerous one, and will hencefortl
'be prohibited. It is to be hoped tina
all will enter into the spirit of civil
pride and Improvement and assist il
making the new plan a success.

al AtINater.

The earthly remains of our late
representative and fellow citizen, the
Hon. Charles Emil johnson, were laid
away last Friday afternoon at At
water amid flowers and tears and
other syidences of the profound re-
spect and esteem in which the de-
ceased was held by the people Of the
commnn nity. =.
The services were held at the
Swedish NJ. E. church at Atwater,
shortly after the arrival of the af-
ternoon train which bore the remains
from st. Paul. The services were
conducted by Rev. E. C. Edwards of
Minneapolis in the English langu-
age. The hymn, "Lead Kindly Light"
was sung, and prayer offered. Miss
Linnea Holm sang "Face to Face"
The Rev. Edwards then spoke very
feelingly using as his text Hebrews
II :13, 16. At the close Of his re-
marks he sketched the life Of the de-
ceased and spoke Of his sterling
character and noble purposes in life
and the testimony he had given Of
his faith in his Redeemer and bet-
ter life after this. A quartette COM
posed Of Misses Marion Anglund and
Olga Sherdal and Nessrs. L. E.
Covell and O. H. Larson sang a Sc
lection. The casket was opened and
the remains lay in state while hun
dreds Of people passed by to cast a
last glance at the wel-known feat
uresHof their friend, while the choir
softly sang "Nearer My God, to
Thee"
The cortege then formed and the
sad proc cession made it's way to the
Atwatef Union cemetery on the out
skirts Of the village, where the cas-
ket was lowered into the family bur-
!, ial lot. @.-
The honorary pail bearers were
Hon: Il @. Thorpe, Hon. Chas. w.
Odell, Hon. Henry Feig, A. W. john
son, L. E.. Covell and Henry Boese.
The active pail bearers were August
Rrc1ns Gust. Hednef, J.. A. john
sons Nels Peterson, Andrew Peter
! son and William johnson. The cas-
! ket was covered and surrounded by
many beautiful floral offerings,
among which were large bouquet
of red roses from the county officials
! and beautiful standing wreath from
the old neighbors Of the deceased in
Lake Elizabeth. All the county Of
fcials from Willmar, who were not
prevented from attending, were
there. Others from Willmar were
Hon. and Mrs. G. E. Qvale, Hon. G.
