REX BEACH TAKES TIME
AND MONEY VERY EASILY

Rex Beach works four hours q
day-real hard work, then he lays
off for the rest of the afternoon
and goes fishing when fishing is
gOod--and then the days grind
is over. For Rex's path Is at
present carpeted with velvet.
Rex Beach, now looking around
the Northwest. doesn't look like a
person who is overburdened with
work nohow. He tells you that
his hours are very short, and
when you look at him you are
convinced. Rex is big, strong and
healthy. What traces of hardship
he ever possessed have now dis
appeared, with the exception of
small scar on the tip of his
nose.
He looks like mere college
boy with an allowance of unlim-
tied cash. In fact, he once went
to college-tried to study law,
but l didn't like the sideshow
studies and / jumped to Alaska"
he explained.
And 1t was there that he Great
ed enough Imagination in his
mind to return to the States to
write the story of "The Spoilers.
(which was merely an expert
ment," and the big overgrown
author chewed on his half smoked
"two-bit" cigar, and puffed out
mouthful of smoke that seemed
to premeditate what he was about
to add. And it was a success,
and l have been writings ever
since.
ut usually takes about six
months to finish a job, and when
I've done it I've made more money
in that time than a justice of the
supreme court in year, which is
more than have right o
make" and Rex smiled.
How much have you accumu-
lated since you've been writings"
Rex pondered just as he makes
some of the characters in his
books ponder.

URGED 4 RNGDAL
Candidate for Governor Makes
Strong Plea at Millmar
j. Opera House.

Peter NJ. Ringdal spoke at the
Wlllmar Opera House last Thursday
evening to a fair-sized audience. Mr..
Ringdal lays no claim at being an or
ator, but his calm and deliberate ad-
dress made a good impression upon
his audience. In his Introductory he
said:
"1t has always seemed to me more
important that a candidate for an
office affecting the policy Of govern
ment should point out the road he
proposes to travel across the polit-
ical map than that he should min
tutely describe some particular step
he expects to take.
"By doing this he enables those to
whom he speaks to judge Of his des-
tmation and the object of his journey.
But if he adopts the latter course, he
gives no definite idea as to where he
is going or for what purpose. Where
we know the objective point of a
journey, and we are satisfied that the
traveller is honestly bent upon going
there, we are in a position to decide
whether we care to go with him"

The past week has been one of tho
most exciting one in the annals Of
the national game Of base ball.
New York won tie pennant in the
National League. Boston won the
pennant In the American League. The
winning teams played for the worlds
championship during the past week
beginning Oct. 8. The games alter

record previous to the last game be-
ing three games each and one tie
game. Today the rubber was played
and the winning run was made by
the Boston Americans in the last half
Of the 10th inning, when both teams
were tied with two runs. Bedient
pitched for Boston and Mathewson
for New York. The games have been
attended by record breaking crowds,
and the interest turnout the country
has far exceeded that taken in the
national contest for the presidency.
Great is the American base ball fan.

The Willmar Glee Club invaded the
prosperous little burgh of Svea last
evening, giving concert there at
the Swedish Lutheran church. This
program was to have been given last
Friday, but owing to the bad weather
was postponed until Tuesday. The
weather being fine the turn out was
splendid and the big crowd nearly
filed the church. The singers ac-
quilted themselves well and render
ed the program as published last
week. The Y. P. Society served q
fine lunch after the program and ev-
eryone certainly enjoyed themselves.
The receipts at the door was $4,000
Of which the Glee Club got two
thirds. ~

Railroad Commissioner Here.

An Important item that escaped
the Tribune last week was a hear
ing of the Minnesota Railroad and
Warehouse Commission held at the
Commercial Hotel in this city on
Tuesday Of last week.
The people along the St. Cloud
branch. of the Great Northern had
petitioned for a direct train service
with the cities, as they are now
obliged to change either at St. Cloud
or Willmar. There were several citi-
zens here from along the line, prom
inent among whom was Senator John
J. Ahmann Of Torah. The railroad
company was represented by Asst.
Pass. Agent Wilde, Supt. NJ. Nichol-
son of Melrose and Supt. McKnnon
of Willmar and others. The railroad
men demonstrated that the cost of
running such a train is $1.30 per
mile, while the revenue in sight they
claimed was only about go cents a
mile. Under these circumstances the
Railway Commission declined to
make an order to put on such train.

Then howl Of rage went up:
.'Iynch him! Kill him! cried a hun
dred men. ,. -
The crowd pressed in ON them and
Martin and Captain Girard, who had
followed Martin over the side Of the
automobile, were caught with their
prisoner in the midst Of a struggling
throng Of maddened men. Colonel
Roosevelt raised his hand, and mo-
toned imperiously to the crowd to
fall back.
"Stop, stopw he cried: "stand
back; don't hurt him.
The men in the crowd at first were
not disposed to heed his words, but
at length fell back and permitted
Martin and Captain Girard to carry
the man into the hotel. After a short
struggle the prisoner gave up and
was carried without resistance out of
the reach Of the crowd.
care you hurt, colonel?" hundred
voices called out.
"Oh, no." he responded with a
smile. missed me that time. I'm not
hurt bit.
II think we'd better be going on"
he said to the other members of his
party, cor we will be late."
No one in the party, including COL
onel Roosevelt himself, entertained
the slightest notion that the colonel
had been shot. He felt no shock or
pain at the time, and it was assumed
that the bullet went wild.
The assailant's name is John
Schrank and he labored under the
hallucination that it was his duty
to kill Roosevelt. He does not ap-
pear to regret his deed.

School District Finances.

The Board Of Education has re-
ceived word that the Willmar school
district and the associated schools
viii draw the following sums Of spec
ial state aid this month For the Ag-
ricultural department, So, 100; for the
Normal department, $3.50; and the
High School, $1,750; or a total Of
5000. This is aside from the regu-
lar state apportionment. For next
year the Board has levied the sum Of
$4,000. Last years levy was $17,-
900. The rate of school taxes Will
probably not be higher than last year
on account Of the increase of valu-
alton.

Change in Election Laws.

The voting hours for our coming
general election Nov. 5th have been
changed to conform to those Of the
primary election. That is to say,
the polls will be open from 6 a. m.
till 9 p. NJ, and will be open contin-
uously during the time. Heretofore
at general elections the hours have
been from 9 to S o'clock, but this
year the time is extended as stated,
and there is certainly an abundant
opportunity given to all to 60 to the
polls and cast their votes. You can
vote before breakfast or after sup
per, or any hour during the day.

ing skin has been successfully carried
on during the past week. His bro
ther, Harold, Horton Sperry and
VILLAIN Conway have each contrib
uted about twelve square inches of
cuticle and the operation has not yet
been completed.
The skin so grated Immediately
grows ON place it is placed.
