INTERESTING LETTER FROM
WOODMEN SANITORlUM
Facts Concerning One of the Finest
institutions of Its Kind In

SIV WIN
\ prominent Woodman Of this
county is sojourning at the Woodmen
Sanitorium. in Colorado, and the fol-
lowing extracts from a recent letter
to the Willmar Tribune, will no doubt,
be read with interest by the many
Woodmen of this county, who have
contributed towards establishing this
institutions:
This is one of the grandest insti-
buttons of it's kind in the country.
With the many improvements that are
now in progress fully completed, it
will be safe to say that the SanitOr
ium will rank with the very best in
the world. The service in all lines
is of the best that can be had and
everyone connected with the place is
so courteous and thoughtful Of the
welfare Of others that life here is a
pleasure for those who are so FORUM
ate as not to be among the hopeless
cases under treatment. In fact, there
are very few such here, and when a
hopeless case is discovered his stay
is not prolonged.
We are located II miles from Colo
RADIO Springs. but as we have a post
office here on the grounds my mail is
sent to Woodmen, Colo, which is the
name given this Office at this inland
town The mail comes out here from
the Springs twice day by automo-
bile. 1t is stage line, also carrying
passengers. With several hundred
people to serve-1S0 patients and a
I,r Of nhvciaio
ployees, etc.. we are given first class
service in all respects and the Wood
men post office does considerable
business during the year. Presume it
gets it's name from the fact that there
are so many Woodmen here.
"a sunny disposition and implicit
trust in the better and higher things
of life are a good equipment to battle
this foe, which it seems has laid its
claim upon so many. Ever looking
upward and living on top, as the
common expression goes.
1.-THE cure here, speaking from a
material standpoint, is not what might
be termed permanent one, but it is
certainly very good starter for one
who is determined to continue caring
for himself with the rules and instruc.
lions laid down mere to follow out.
Again 1 say it is a grand institution
and all WoOdmen ought to feel proud
Of it.
Each patient has his own little
cottage, which is steam heated and
electric lighted and otherwise equip
ped in the most modern way. I for
one have no complaint to make, for
have been treated most royalty here
both by the powers that be- and those
in their employ. We patients are all
like one family Of boys - grown-up
boys, who are bound together In a
most fraternal spirit. This is where
the true brotherhood is exemplified
There is no distinction here, and we
have all callings and professions rep
resented. Illness makes us all alike
and we are together for one common
purpose. An enforced rest Of this

RINGING BROTHERS
CIRCUS IS COMING
July y Is Day Set For Visit
to This City Of "6reatest
Show On Earth"

It had seemed q foregone conclus.
ion that circus OF more than ordi,
nary size was to visit this city, dur.
ing the coming season, as Willmar
was omitted from the routing of tho
Yankee-Robinson shows, which ex-
hibited at many points in this vicin-
ity, and thus the announcement made
the first of the week that Ringing
Brothers circus, the biggest and best
Of them all, will show here on July
22nd comes as no great surprise.
When Barnum and Bailey's circus
was here last summer, and the capac-
ity of the big tent was taxed to the
limit, at the afternoon performance, q
crowd estimated at between fifteen
and twenty thousand persons, attend
ing, and about eight thousand more
at the evening performance, W1llmar
was put on the circus map to stay.
Ringing Brothers have for many
years past been recognized as having
the greatest show of its kind, and it
is said to be better than ever this
year. With fair weather on Satur-
day, July %, the largest crowd which
ever gathered in this city will un-
doubtedly be on hand to welcome this
"Greatest Show on Earth"

A PICTURE OF HUGHES.

The New York World, which once
was outspoken In its admiration for
Mr.. Hughes, now declares that the
people do not know where Hughes
stands, or what he stands for. This
Wilson organ had no such criticism
TO make when Mr.. Hughes was gov
ernor. The World said on May II.
1910: He dictated no nominations.
controlled no convention. trafIicked In
no patronage, made no bargains with
oitice-holders. He has rewarded no
body for supporting him and punished
nobody for opposing him. What in
fiuence he has welded over public
opinion has come through his appeals
to the voters themselves" That is
the estimate Of Mr.. Hughes given by
the World six years ago Ii is a
pretty fair letter Of recommendation.
Could the World say as much for
President Wilson? Hardly, for the
president has done all of the things
from which the World absolved

MADISON GRAIN MARKET.
SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City. Sept. 15.-The recep-
ton accorded the small run of pork
ers on the local market today was
Both packers and shippers started OPP
Grating at an early hour, and, with
outside conditions favorable, sellers
were able to score a sharp advance
for all grades. In a general way, the
rise was put at 10 a 15c. High mark
for choice medium weight butchers
was $10.S0, while most of the days
sales were at a spread of $1,000
1915.
While the cattle run was estimated
at 1000 head, this number included
1900 head of southern stockers, so
that the salable supply was light.
A week ago the run was 951, while
921 came in the corresponding day a
year ago.
Status of the killing cattle market
was much the same as yesterday,
with perhaps here and there a sale
showing a degree of strength.
Just about the same kind of a deal
rs 0 nyesterday on stock cattle. At
tractive kinds found a ready sale.
while common kinds were slow sale
and weak.
Most of the sheep at hand today
were billed direct to packers and for
the few on sale the going was quo
ted as nominally steady with the pre-
vious session.

Democrats have tried TO make his sup.
port an act of piety by adopting
Thank God for Wilson as a slogan.
Mr.. Hughes. with rare courage, frank
ness and penetration, is exposing the
tiimsy foundation for the claims of
Wilsonian infallibility. He Is laying
bare a record of extravaganza, par
tisanship, sectionalism, incompetence,
wrongheadedness, vaccillation and in
sincerity which destroys the attempt
to make a joss out of the President.

M'kINLEY'S WAR COST LESS !
BLOODSHED THAN Will. :.
SONS PEACE !


. Under President Mckinley we
!. had a war with Spain. Under
!. President Wilson we are assured
/. that we have had peace with
Mexico. These are the words.
Now for the deeds. During the
wal with Spain fewer Americans
were killed by the Spaniards
than have been killed by Mexi-
cans during the present peace
with Mexico. Let me repeat
this. A greater number Of Amer
leans have been killed by Mex
leans during these years, when
we are officially Informed that
we have been at peace with
them, than were killed by the
/. Spaniards during u entire war
. with Spain. Moreover, when the
. war with Spain was through, it
. was through. Bat peace still con
/. tinues to rage as %furiously as
. ever in Mexico. Nor is this all.
The instant effect of the out
come of the "A with Spain was
TO put a stop 10 the dreadful
butchery and starvation In Cuba
and the Philippines. and the
entry of both Cuba and the
Philippines on a career OF eight
cen years of peace and pros
perity such as they had never
known before in all their check
cred history. But during these
three years OF MIR. Wilson's
peace" the Mexicans them
selves have been butchered by
their own bandits steadily and
without intermission; and Mex
lean women and children have
died by thousands-probably by
scores of thousands-of starva-
ton and of the diseases incident
TO starvation. In other words, MI.
McKinley's war cost less than
peace; aud ii reflected high hon
or on the American people;
whereas Mr.. Wilson's peace
has been n Of shame and dis
honor for the American people,
and one of ruin and bloodshed
