A GOOD MAN HAS
PASSED AWAY

Anders Anderson, one among the
first settlers in town Of West Valley,
died on May 8, 1915, at the ripe old
age Of 85 years.
Deceased was born in T0ckemark,
Ver1nland, Sweden, in 1880. He emil
grated to America in 1869 and
came to Minnesota, living for
some years at Albert Lea, in Freeborn
county, later moving to Waseca coun-
ty, where he resided for time. When
the rich lands of the Red River Valley
invited the settler, Mr.. Anderson in
1881 moved to Marshall county and
settled on a homestead in the town of
West Valley, where he has lived ever
since.
In 1878 he was married to Miss
Lovise Anderson and to this union
three sons were born, namely Abel,
Simon and John.
Deceased was an earnest and sin
cere Christian and died in the faith
OF the LORD. In the early days
when ministers were few he assisted
in preaching the word Of God in the
new communities He was member
Of the Nyhed Swedish Lutheran
church in Foldahl Of late years the
infrmities Of age crept upon him
more and more. Among other all
ments his eyes became affected, so
that his last few years were spent in
almost total blindness. Yet his mind
was clear and active as ever and he
loved to talk Of the experiences of a
Christian life with those who came to
see him. His good wife passed before
him to the other shore, number of
years ago. The immediate mourners
Of deceased are his three sons, Abel,
Simon and John Anderson and one
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Abel Anderson,
and two grand children, one sister
near Viking, Mimi, Mrs. John Fors-
berg, and some other relatives in Swe-
den.
The funeral was held on Monday
and was conducted by Rev. F. N. An
derson of Warren assisted by Rev. Gil
lseth of Newfolden. It was attended
Iby a large number Of old settlers and
friends of deceased. The remains
were laid at rest in Nyhed cemetery,
Among those who attended the funer-
al were Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Forsberg
of Warren, and Mr.. and Mrs. C. j
I Forsberg of Karlstad, the gentlemen
being nephews of deceased.
/ Peace to the memory of the good
lold pioneer.

There will be number Socje
ant changes in the faculty at Norun-
Star for next year. Miss Agda Wen
nerberg who so ably has taken care Of
the work in the music department has
decided not to return. She has prov
en- her ability as splendid teacher;
and at least to all the Swedish Luth-
eran people of the Red River Valley
she is known as great soprano solo
ist. She has done much to make the
sacred concerts in Warren decided
success in the past
Professor Albin O. Peterson who
for over a dozen years has been di-
rector of the music department at
Luther College, Wahoo, Nebraska, has
been called to take charge Of the
music department at North Star. Pro-
fessor Peterson is an all-round musi-
clan. He received his Bachelor of
Music Diploma from Gustavus Adol
phus college in 1897, in which institu-
tion he taught for five years. He has
had much experience as leader Of
bands, orchestras and large choruses;
and we venture to predict that under
his leadership Warren will become
known as the home of North Star,
where music will attract students
from the entire Red River Valley.
In place of Miss Lille Gibson, who
also most efficiently has worked in the
music department, and who has done
much toward making our concerts a
success, Miss Olga Hermanson has
been elected. Miss Hermanson is SO
we'll and favorably known to the
Warren people, that we need but men
tion her name. Since leaving War
rem she has spent several years in
New York City taking post graduate
| work under some of the most prom
inent masters of music in the East
Under the leadership of two such pro
minent musicians, North Star i:
bound to become a musical center.
For the Academy department ha:
been elected a teacher who also come:
with the very highest recommends
tions. Three years ago he was grad
uated from Upsala College in New
Jersey; and since that time he ha
taken up post graduate work in Co
lumbia University, so that this spring
he will take his Ph. D. degree. He ha
had a great deal Of experience ii

singer. His name is Walter Gustaf

| For the Commercial departmen
Professor Sjostrand was re-electe
with a substantial increase in salary
His splendid work deserves muc
credit. He has been along from tn
beginning, and knows all the ins an
outs connected with the college work.
The Academy graduates have decid
; ed to leave a large picture at tn
school as class memorial. All hor
or to the Academy class of 1915.
A set of Britannicas has been dc

nation is greatly appreciated.

to complete the work with the Thir
class in the Academy.

London, May 10.-The Cunard liner
Lusitania, which sailed out of New
York city on May 1 with more than
1900 souls on board, lies at the bot
tom of the ocean, Off the Irish coast
It was sunk by German submarine,
which sent two torpedoes crashing in
to her side, while the passengers were
having luncheon.
How many of the Lusitania's pas
sengers and crew were rescued can
not be told definitely, but the official
statements from the British admiralty
have accounted for slightly more
than 7OO::
The ships steward, who landed
with others at Queenstown, gave it as
his opinion that 1000 people were
lost. There were dead and wounded
among those brought ashore and
some since have died.

The Lusitania was steaming along
about ten miles off Old Head, Kin
SALE on the last leg of her voyage to
Liverpool, when about 2 p. m. sub

as all reports go fired two torpedoes
without warning at the steamer. One
struck near the bows and the other in
the engine room. The powerful agents
OF destruction tore through the yes

Boats already were swung out OF
the davits and were dropped over
board and were speedily filled with
passengers who had been appalled, by
the desperate attack.
A wireless call for help was sem
out, and Immediately rescue boats O.
all kinds were sent out from the
neighboring points along the coas
