Prof. St0mberq Was Here.

Prof. A. A. Stomberg Of the Swed-
ish department of the State Univer-
sity paid visit at Willmar last Fri
day and drove out to Svea in the af-
ternoon. He was delighted with
the action Of the school meeting at
Willmar in deciding to take up Sean
dinavian languages. in the public
schools this year. AS far as the Ian
guage being recognized in the State
University is concerned, he stated
that it is now recognized for all
practical purposes. There are only
two or three departments, the medi-
cal and engineering, where standings
in Scandinavian are not advertised
to be accepted in lieu Of other for
eign languages. In practice, how
ever, such standings would be ac-
cepted in both these departments.
The text book question has been re-
ceiving attention and there will be no
difficulty after this in securing suit
able textbooks for the public schools.

o BITuARY
PETER LINDQUIST.

Peter Lindquist, whose death was
briefly mentioned in our last issue,
was born in Sifferbo, Gagnef parish,
Dalarne, Sweden, January 10, 1851.
He spent his youth in Dalarne, re-
celving the common school education.
He arrived in America in June of
1868. He located in Lemont, Ill.,, but
in the following year he went into the
great northwest and selected a home
stead in section twenty-four of
what is now the township of Rose
land. His was the first homestead
to be filed on within the limits Of the
present Roseland township. His
brother, Olof Lindquist, filed on a
neighboring tract in the fall of the
same year. Since his arrival the
deceased has taken an active inter-
est in the development Of the commu-
nifty, and has seen it grow from
wild prairie to a progressive COM
munity. Where formerly his little
claim shanty stood there now stands
a large comfortable residence and
several barns and store houses of
ample size. During the first winters,
bodies of friendly Indians would
camp on the island in the lake near
by, and around the low spots where
were ponds Of water were found
large quantities Of the bones of the
American bison which formerly
ranged over this prairie, which in
the Indian language was known as
"place- which makes -buffaloes."
Mr.. Lindquist was very method
ical and painstaking man. As evi-
dence of this are the records he has
kept every year since he settled in
the country of crop yields and other
information. He has served his
township as supervisor both in the
first Whitefeld organization and la
ter in the township Of Roseland, and
was for many years the treasurer of
the school district number 64. He
was man Of a quiet and peaceful
disposition and Of a sound judgment.
He was married in 1873 to Miss Breta
Olson, also native Of Gagnef par
ish, Sweden, who survives him. The
marriage was blessed with eight
children who are: Mrs. C. E. Nelson,
Mrs. Peter Strandberg, Mrs. Henry
Bjelkengren Of Svea; Mrs. Oscar o.
son Of Winfield; Albert Lindquist of
Cheney, WASH; and Oscar, Fred and
Ruth who live at home. About year
ago the deceased was taken i'll with
cancer Of the stomach but was able
to be around to within four weeks of
his death, which occurred on Sunday,
July 21st.
The funeral was held Thursday,
July 25th, at the Christine church.
All the children were present at the
funeral except Albert. Among other
relatives present were Mr.. and Mrs.
Ole Olson of Dassel, Minn., Revs.
Alex. Peterson and A. J. Ryden
spoke and the last sad rites we're
performed by Rev. A. J. Ryden.
There was profusion Of beautiful
floral tributes contributed by rela-
tives and friends, and there was
great turn out Of people to pay their
last respects to their esteemed
neighbor whom they had known so
we'll as one Of the fathers of the
prosperous settlement. The pail
bearers were Messrs. Ole Olson,
John Erickson, P. S. J. Johnson, H.
P. Olson, John Erickson and M. WAL
ner. The remains were laid away
for their long rest in the adjoining
churchyard.

SIXTH PARTY IN MINNIE J..

tors and Delegates to National
| Convention.
The state convention of Roosevelt
men to organize third party in Min.
nesota was held yesterday with ar
attendance Of about 500. The mum.
Der coming in from the country was
disappointing to the promoters. Eight
Of the twelve electors named are
those nominated for electors for the
republican state convention May 16
they having resigned from the Taft
ticket: Judge M. D. Purdy was the
chairman Of the convention and made
the keynote speech in which he de-
nounced both the old parties and
closed with an eloquent peroration
in which the patron saint Of the new
movement, Theodore Roosevelt, was
lauded to the sky. One encouraging
feature for the Rooseveltites was the
conditional pledge Of James Peter
son, candidate for United States SEN
ator, for support to the new move
ment. This support will hinge on the
nature of the convention at Chica-
go and the platform it adopts. None
Of the LaFollette leaders and sup
porters Of the state went near the
convention. The following are the
electors and delegates selected:
ELECTORS.
At large, J. W. Wright, Litch-
field; Emil G. Holm, New Ulm; Ole
Canestorp, Elbow Lake.

Eighth district, James Saari, Du-
luth; alternate, Charles Moose,

Ninth district, F. L. Farley, Red
Lake Falls; alternate, N. S. Hegness,
Argyle.
The new movement does not in
tend to bolt the Republican state
ticket, if it's candidates are favor
able to the progressive party. Just
how this will work out will be inter-
esting to see. The test of "pro-
gressiveness" is going to be applied
by the "bull-moosers" to all candi-
dates on the Republican ticket. Par
ty regularity will be thrown to the
winds.

 10 PLAY FRIDAY

For the first time in nearly two years the State Normal and Hendrix College baseball teams will meet in a baseball game tomorrow afternoon at Hendrix park. The game will not be called until 4:15, in order to allow the business men of the city better opportunity to attend. The two rivals have not met in a game since the me morable series in 1910, when the Nor maj dashed Hendrix hopes for a pen nant by defeating them four games Both teams are in good condition and the contest will doubtless be an in- teresting one.
 Coach Nixon of the Normal states that tickets sold in advance for the Normal-Henderson game, which was called off, will be redeemed at tomor- rows game or at the next game the Normal has with an out-of-town team.

ATHLETIC EVENTS
 HERE SATURDAY
HENDRIX INVITE SCHOOLS
P R F. l. NJ | N AIRY TRACK AND FIELD MEET WILL BE HELD
 IN THIS CITY.

An athletic event which promises
 to be one of much interest is the sec ond annual preliminary track and field meet which will be held at Hen driX park next Saturday afternoon.
 This meet was held here for the first time last year, and a large number of college and school athletes from
 nearby cities were in attendance, the occasion being a most successful one. This year large number of schools have been invited to participate and acceptances from several of them have already been received by Coach Staples. of the Hendrix team.
 Hendrix has fine cinder track and the location is an ideal one for track and field events. The meet here is held for the purpose of securing com petltlve practice for the annual state meet at Little Rock May 4, and the program of the preliminaries will be exactly the same as that of the big meet in the capital city. No prizes will be offered and none of the rec ords made here will be given out, as 1t is thought this might handicap the schools in the finals at Little Rock.
 The schools which have been invit- ed to attend the meet here are the State Normal, Little Rock College and the high schools of Little Rock, Benton, Plumerville, Morrilton, At kins, Russellville, Martinville, Da- mascus, Choctaw and other towns. It is planned to serve a picnic dinner to the visitors on the park grounds at noon.
