OBJ RY.
RALPH LEROY ANDERSON.

Death suddenly took away little
Ralph Leroy, the 10 months old baby
boy of Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer Anderson,
on the afternoon of Dec. 3rd. Mr.. and
Mrs. Anderson, with their babe, were
at the home Of Mrs. Anderson's par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs James TAFT, ST.,
to spend the afternoon The baby was
suddenly taken i'll and became un-
conscious. Two physicians we're
called but the child was beyond earth
ly power and breath: his last in a
few hours.
Besides his Borrowing father and
mother, he leaves to mourn, a little
sister, Vernis, also the members of
his grandfather Tait's home, where
the little one was loved as their own.
On Monday, December 7th, at one
o'clock, the funeral services were
held at the home, Rev. Taylor Of At
water speaking a very kind sermon to
a large circle Of relatives and friends.
The floral offerings were many and
beautiful. The little white casket was
bedded with flowers. The four little
pallbearers were George Ferguson,
Eugene Wheeler, Russell and Thean-
der Frantz. A large procession fol-
lowed the remains to the cemetery
north of Kandiyohi where the little
one was laid to rest.
The grief stricken parents have the
entire sympathy of all.
"Our little one, our fair one, thou
can'st not come to us,
when we shall go to thee,
and thou, perchance, with seraph
smile and golden harp in hand,
May'st come the first to welcome us
To our Emanue's land"

OPERA HOUSE OPENING
Wi|Imar Opera House Again Opened
Doors to Public Last Thursday.

The interior of the new opera house
was viewed by representative audi
ence last Thursday. The improvement
accomplished is great. Three double
doors now provide rapid exit for the
crowd. A chechroom for wraps has
ben provided. The room is heated by
radiators placed in recesses on the
walls. The new curtains, scene~y and
trimmings are good.
The vaudeville program provided
for opening night surpassed anything
in that line seen at Willmar before
and with the exception of one or two
numbers was much enjoyed by the
audience. The Chopin Orchestra fur
nished good music for the perform
ance. Their effort to please by in
Producing war melodies was lost on
the crowd, however. "Tipperary"
failed to bring out any demonstra-
ton.
This week the Sherman Kelly Com
pany is drawing good crowds each
evening with popular repertoire.
