This was the flag that floated over

COLORED MAN KILLED

Word was received here the fore
part of the week of the killing of a
colored man at Tracy.
The facts regarding this unfortun-
ate accident so far as we have been
able to learn them are substantially
as follows:
Ted Van Dusen, the Chief of Police
at Tracy, had ordered the dusky gen.
tleman to leave town.
The first impulse to obey instruc-
lions was followed by this man and
he left Tracy. Later on he returned
and was lettering about the depot
when lied" again saw him and asked
him why he was hanging about. .
The dusky gentleman replied that
he had money with him and would
stay where he wanted to and he forth
with proceeded to whip out gattling
gun and told the policeman that he
proposed to do about as he liked and
that II the policeman did not like 1t
he could 60 and get gun and settle
the matter.
"Ted" called the bluff and went
over after his six-shooter and was
peacefully, though belligerently wend.
ing his way back towards the depot
when all of a sudden the colored man
proceeded to open ire.
In all six shots were fred by the
negro at the policeman.
Needless to say lied" proceeded "a
| blaze away and instead of "beatine
it" kept going straight towards hil
assailant.
| Two bullets took effect and the re
suit was that the, negro was killed.
1t is an unfortunate occurrence bu,
to those who know Ted Van Duse1
and his ability and fearlessness as al
officer Of the lAwswe feel certain thu
no blame will DO attached to.him.

That exemption boards did their
work we'll is evidenced by the fact
that only 80 men Of the entire 5000
in the first increment were rejected
upon physical examination at Camp

per cent. Army officers expected five
per cent to be returned home.
One of the intensely interesting
sights of the cantonment for relatives

FATHER SCHUMACHER LEAVES

1t is with regret that the Herald
chronicles this week the departure OF
Rev. 1gnatious Schumacher from our
village after a. service of nearly sew
enteen years in the Catholic church
of Clara City. Ever since coming
here in June, 1901, he has not only
been an active worker in the upbuild.
Ing Of his church but progressive
citizen.
The Clara City parish was his first
charge as he had Just been ordained
to the priesthood having graduated
from St. Thomas college and St. Paul's
Seminary and it is here that he spent
the best years of his life and perhaps
formed the closest friendship. He has
not only endeared himself to his con
gregation by wise counsel and guild
ance but won the respect and admira
ton of all our citizens as a man and
citizen. He has seen his church grow
and prosper which now number about
eighty-five families.
Before leaving for his new home In
Delano his congregation presented
him with purse of STAG to show thei,
love and esteem and farewell recep
ton was rendered him In the hall on
Wednesday night.
His successor, Father A. J. KOllel
has been assistant priest in the parish
of Shakopee for five years and this
spring was given full charge. Father
Saws from Delano goes to Shakopee
While regretting the departure o.
Father Schumacher who goes with
the best wishes of all I'VE want to ex
tend the right hand of fellowship J..
his successor and extend to him :
hearty welcome among us. He will
celebrate his first mass here next Sun
day: Father Schumacher left with hi
sister, Miss Elizabeth for Delano yes

Dear Sir:
We have now been away from VIII.
mar over three months. Have been
visiting most of the time. We have
met great many old Willmarites,
among them being Peter and Ole Veg
and Christ Olson. They live in Ia
coma. Ben and Christ Olson are do.
ing good business. We have decid.
ed to settle down here for the winter,
and not 60 back to the Minnesota bliz.
yards. Here we have had fine wealth.
er all summer and have fine weather
now. Only two days rain and few
days warm weather, about 50 degrees.
They think that is very warm. After
sunset we put on our coats, and at
night we can have covers on and sleep
good. We have not yet heard thunder
or seen storm of any kind since our
arrival here.
There will not be as much fruit
here this year as usual. Apples will
be good crop, also potatoes. Every.
one who has a lot or piece of land has
potatoes planted. They even break
up their front lawns and the boule.
wards and put in potatoes and cab
bage.
Tacoma is booming now. There has
been lots of work all summer and will
be for years to come. At the Army
Post, twelve or fifteen miles from the
city, they have over nine thousand
men working. About three thousand
have now quit and the remainder will
soon be thru also. There will be for.
ty-five thousand soldiers stationed
here. That means something for the
city. Tacoma has five ship yards; one
is just commencing work and here
they need fifteen hundred men. Only
steel ships will be built The other
yards are building wood or sail ships
about $500 to 5000 tons, 265 to 2S5 feet
long with five masts. They are fine
been built for Norway but now the
Government wants them all.
In nearly all lines of work, it is un.
ionized now. It is very quiet here in
the big cities. They tell me it was
different when they had saloons. ]
don't believe have seen drunk man
since l arrived.
Now when we are at war. we should
all work and do our duty. There
for, I have also commenced to work,
helping build ships for the Govern
ment, to keep up or replace what the
Germans have destroyed. Yes, all are
busy. Girls are knitting, on the street
cars, something warm and good for
the winter wear for soldiers. Prices
on all commodities are at the top
here. Butter sells for fifty-three cents
per pound; milk, 1911 cents per
quart: salmon, 22c per pound; other
articles are sold at about same price
as in Minnesota. It will be raised
more in short time tho. The wages
are from three to six dollars a day
all depending on the kind of work
done. The first part of the summer
saw many vacant houses but this fall
and winter, there will hardly be
enough of them to house the people
Most of the big saw mills have been
on the strike for two months and also
had street car strikes. Now the ship
yard strike is on in Seattle, because
they didn't use the union lumber. In
Seattle there are twenty-five yards
and also lots of work.

opinion of human nature and a
very falsely exalted idea of the
civilization to which we had at

And then came Liege and Lou

nature revealed itself not as the
poor thing we had been deriding
but as something great and grim
and splendid and terrible. Our
world of sham and tinsel and

are caught in the grip of primitive
forces. The things which were

This has happened before. With
every great demand humanity has
risen to great heights, only when
the cataclysm has passed to sink
back again to the lower level. The
stern virtue ofCromwells time had
to give way to the silken, dissolute
court of Charles ii. France beheld
a vision of equal liberty, only to
turn from it to her Reign of Ter

of a civil war our own country
passed to the "lush" materialism
of the early seventies, with its
riot of graft and speculation and
sordid scandal.

will impart such impetus that we
can never fall back to where we
were.

Woman Comes As Great New
Force.
We will never give up what we
have gained. Out of the wreck of
autocracy and provincialism and
selfish exploitation and all the
lumber of the dark ages shall
arise a higher standard and a
great new statement.
Of course, It is mere senti-
mental fantasy to expect an imme-
diate millennium. After the war
there will still be cakes and ale
or possibly, if the "drys" have it,
cakes and lemonade. Men and
women will still cheat and lie and
steal and covet and disobey their
parents, and blithely braek every
commandment of the decalogue.
But still we women like to think
and our dream is not going to
harm any one, while it gives us a
lot of pleasure-that the retro
gression which has always followed
each fresh advance will this time
be far less marked.
A great new force has been
added to the upward striving Of
mankind. And that is the intro
duction of woman as an equal fac
tor in the economic and political
life of the world. To her has al
ways been vouchsafed the spirit
and the vision.
She has fingered hesitant In her
woods of Domremy, listening half
afraid to the heavenly voices, but
now she is coming forth fully
armed, and her shining sword Is
pointing the way to victories, OF
which as yet we can only dream.
