How we miss our darling brother
When we see his vacant chair.
We miss him at the table,
We miss him everywhere.
We can't see why he had to go
And leave us all behind:
But we Gu n look to God
To ease our troubled mind.
Thou art gone, our precious brother.
Never more we'll see thy face,
Till we meet thee DER the river.
In that happy dwelling place.
Then We'll meet you precious brother
There we'll clasp glad hands once
more:
When we meet to part, no never.
On that happy golden shore.

Francis Fensler


There is but a step between
me and death. IL Sam. 2O:3.
This statement of the Pro
,phet of God is one Of the veri.
table truths of life, which we
ARE all slow to learn. The death
hour has always been regarded
as peculiarly solemn, it is
time for the most serious
..thoughtfulness.
1 The king of terrors comes
with noiseless step. Stealthily,
silently he is not seen, he is not
heard; he is not suspected, till
all at once his cold shadow falls
upon US, and his dark form
stands between us, and the
light of a living world.
Francis M. Fensler, was born
at Bluffton, Ohio, on July Is,
1868, but lived the most Of his
life in Missouri Valley. Iowa,
coming to Lincoln some ter
years ago and was employed by
the Northwestern railroad, and
died at midnight Oct. 18th, af.
ter an illness of some seven
months He was married t.
Miss Elizabeth Simpson 1s
years ago and from this union
he leaves three boys to mourn
his death, Francis, Max and
Kenneth, and by a former wife
there is also left three children
Mrs. Renna Straus, Mrs. Pear
Eccarius, of Omaha, and H. S
Fensler, of Rapid City. S. D
Also three sisters and four
brothers, Mrs. Kate Edgecomb

This brothers sun has gone
down while it is yet day. l.
the prime of manhood's power
at the head of a splendid fam
lily, a useful citizen of the com
munity we see him thus Gu
down. The light of his lif,
has gone out. One step be
tween life and death.

BIG DITCH WAS NOT AUTHORIZED
Petitioners Themselves Ask County
Board to Dismiss Proceedings.

Petitioners Themselves Ask County
Board to Dismiss Proceedings.
The last attempt to establish a
county ditch along the course of
Shakopee creek to drain lands in
Dovre, Lake Andrew and Mamre was
dismissed at the hearing last Thurs
day. The attendance Of people inter-
ested was so large that the hearing
had to be adjourned from the CON-
misaoners' room to the court room.
Many people objecting to the ditch
came from Swift county.
The petitioners concluded that it
was best to drop the matter as a
county ditch and begin proceedings
again and ask for the establishment
of judicial ditch.
The accrued expenses, about 5000,
will be paid by the petitioners. 1t
may be that a part of the work done
can be saved in the new proceedings.
Previous attempts to establish coun-
ty drain along this watercourse have
been made and met with failure. It
was an evident relief to the county
commissioners and other officials in
volved that the matter was dropped
in this way, saving a most spirited
contest.

BRIEF NOTES.

Read the new Laws. ignorance OF
the law excuses no one.
The circulation of the Willmar
Tribune this week passes the one thou
sand mark TO patrons Of the Willmar
post Office. That is record we are
proud of.
| The new arrangement of our mar
ket reports have found commentator
| among our farmer readers. The ter
minal reports given are those of yes
terday on which the local prices for
today are based.
The new state law prohibits autos
from speeding above fifteen miles
within the limits of any city. If the
offenders of one day on East Litchfield
avenue were arraigned the crush
would make the illegal fishermen
punches look lonesome.
80
We understand that the railroad
company has refused to lease the site
| Of the late Campbell-Iiodgson elevator
to private parties. An effort will be
made to have the Northwestern ele-
vator moved to another site, to permit
another section to be added to the
railroad park.
| People in the southern part of the
county are jubilant over the prospects
Of the Luce Lines. The report is out
that the 500 is backing the undertake
ing now and plenty of means for push
ing the road are in sight. The main
line is expected to reach Kandiyohi
county this year.
| The new school law relieves the
high schools having agricultural de.
partments supported by the state from
the obligation of maintaining school
farm. Such schools may have such a
plat in connection, but it is provided
that it can be dispensed with by the
sanction of the state department. This
was a change asked for by the local
associated districts. The district will
no doubt dispose Of the ten-acre tract
it owns south of the city limits.
The road to lead from Seventh
street to Sperry's addition on north
side of the railroad has not material
lied as yet. The portion from Sper
rvs residence east to the State roa6
is open, and some trees were cut NORTH
of the depot yards last year. With
this road open it will be possible tt
drive from First ward to State Roat
No. and north without crossing any
tracks. We understand the work Of
Iopening the road will be done soon.
The Willmar Tractor Company ha:
broken ground for the contemplated
addition. Room for the offices will bt
added at the factory, and the front OF
Benson avenue will be made uniform
in appearance with stucco work. Thu
officials of the company are jubilan
over the splendid results reported
from the field trials of all the ma
chimes so far shipped. The machine
is the kind that appeals to the western
farmer, and the demand will be al
most unlimited. The success of thi
industry will be great advantage tt
Willmar.

ILLEGAL FISHING ARRESTS
AND NEAR-RIOTS REPORTED
Fistic Encounters at Green Lake Out
let Over Closing the Running

Fistic Encounters at Green Lake Out
let Over Closing the Running
Of Fish.
The past week has been a red let
ter week in the annals of the fishing
sport in the county. The municipal
court in our city has had quite a run
on illegal fishing cases during the last
few days and there are more to follow.
couple of game wardens from St.
Paul have been assisting in the de-
tective operations in the county, we
understand.
Especially down at the Green Lake
outlet have things been warm, and
several arrests for illegal spearing
have been made. Rumors of severe
flstic encounters between wardens and
native fishermen have reach our Of
flee, but to what extent these reports
are true we do not know.
A wire netting which had been
placed in the lake to hinder fish from
going down into the river has been
yanked out by means Of team of
nOrSeS, we are LOlu.
It seems that since the digging of
the ditch and draining Of Lake Cal
houn the fishing in Green Lake has
been poor and it is believed that the
fish which have gone down the river
to spawn in the spring have never
found their way back into the lake.
And for this reason those interested
in preserving good fishing in the lake
have caused the aforesaid netting to
be put in. Some of the farmers, how
ever, declare that it only helps to pre-
serve the fish for the city sports who
come up in summer, while it deprives
them Of their usual opportunity of
spearing a mess during this time Of
the year. So there you are!
