You prefer good, comfortable
surroundings to work in, and so
do your feet. They can't work
successfully in a misfit harness
any more than you can.
This is worth thinking about.
Walk-ever shoes tit the feet as
nicely as a good glove tits the
hand—and they look as well.
The Julia Marlowe shoe for
ladies is also a shoe that is be
coming very popular. Try a
pair.
We handle the very latest in footwear. Always

Two Attempts to Wreck Train.
Attempts have been made twice
within a week to wreck the Soo night
flyer at a desolate spot between
Brooteu and Belgrade, according to
the Glenwood Gopher-Press. Both
attempts miscarried and detectives
are now hot on the trail of the guilty
parties. The first time was Thursday
n'ght, April 27, when debris from a
former freight wreck had been piled
on the track. Fortunately tbe engineer
discovered the obstruction in time and
stopped to have it removed thereby
averting an awful catastrophe. The
second attempt was made the follow
ing Monday night. A heavy oak
plank had been securely fastened to
the rails, the engineer failed to notice
it and the engine struck it equarely,
at full speed. The pilot wheels were
thrown into the air but the drive
wheels were so heavy .that they ground
the obstruction to pieces and thereby
this attempt was also frustrated.
People livirg near Brooten and Bel
grade are inclined to believe that
these attempts are the work of robbers
and desperadoes but the officials of the
road ascribe it to some person or per
sons who are looking for revenge for
some wrong itflicted upon them by
the company.

Anti-Saloon Mass Meeting.
At the farmers mass meeting held in
school house Dtst'. 58 May 0, 1905,
the following resolutions were after, a
very Interesting discussion adopted
without opposition:
Whereat, We, farmers and citizens
of the town of Gennessee and vieinity
in mass meeting assembled, have taken
a deoided stand against the licensed
liquor saloon of Atwater, and
Whereas, The voters of said village
did not consider our prayers, or heed
our petitions, but deoided with a much
larger majority than before to grant
license Even the temperance people
did but very little this year to stop
the legalized evil of their village in
stead of using the advantage our
move gave them, many of them joined
the license defenders in misconstruing
and denouncing the farmers anti-sa
loon resolutions, and argued and
fought them, instead of our common
foe—the saloon, and
Whereas, The city of Willmar has
again won a glorious victory over the
liquor evil by voting down license
with a greater majority than in the two
previous years, and the village of
Kandiyohi showed its temperance sen
timent so grandly, that the license ele
ment could not even get signers
enough for the petition to vote on the
question, be it therefore
Resolved, That we heartily endorse
the stand taken by the mass meeting
held Feb. 4, 1905, and especially the
following tdopted resolution*:
That if tue voters of Atwatar again
decided to have licensed saloons, or
elect a council that is friendly to the
liquor traffic and its violations of the
law, we agree, that the best we then
can do, and will do, for the temper
ance cause, and for our own, and our
children's protection, it change our
place .of business and trading, as
much as possible to such nearby vil
lages and places, that arc willing to
run their city affairs, and pay their
taxes without the aid of the liquor
traffic and license money. And also,
chat if a temperance village is not
within convenient reach we then will
encourage direct purchase from fac
tories, department stores, etc and be
it also further
Resolved That we urge all earnest
temperance people, and saloon haters
to co-operate with us in this, and es
pecially in patronizing temperance
business men in dry villages, and
thereby encourage temperance and
good government aid discourage li
cense-lr eudly, saloon-controlled farm
villages.

make a specialty of good g£
clothes and the things that go
with them. We don't sell
anything else. The market g,
is flooded with clothing, and
people are tempted to buy
with the enticing bait of low
prices, which usually means 2
low qualities. 2r
When you are ready for
a new suit, suppose you look
into the question a little closer.
When you realize that the style depends a good $
deal on the quality, and quality clothes can't be
bought at what the cloth alone is worth then price
alone will not tempt you. Our clothes cost as 5*
little as good clothes can be made to sell for.

Minnesota Paints
Paint prices are very deceiving.
Good paints range in price from $1.40 to $2.00
per gallon.
Some paint manufacturers depend on others
for their materials. This makes their paint high
and you have to take chances as to its purity.
The manufacturers of Minnesota Paints have
unusual facilities for producing the best prepared
paint at the lowest cost. They use their own make
of linseed oil, which is a pure guaranteed kettle
boiled linseed oil 'made to comply with the pure lin
seed oil law of Minnesota. They have no extra out
lay for motive power or room for their paint works.
To the Public.
Minnesota House Paints sell at $1.40 a gallon.
What you pay over this is profit to the dealer and
manufacturer.
Over 700 gallons sold every year here in Will
mar proves it is not a "cheap" paint except in price.

Letter from Carl Berg.
The following is an extract from a
letter written by Carl Berg to his
home in this city, and will be of inter
est to the friends of the three young
Willmar men who are now enlisted in
that branch of the navy known as the
marine corps:
Mare Island, Cat., April 25, 1905.
Dear Sister and Folks:
Your letter received and papers all o. k.
Well, I will write a few lines tonight so as
to let you know how we are. \Ve are all.
well and seem to enjoy ourselves very much
so far. t^udvig and Bergquist get a kind of
homesick once in a while, but as far as I. am
concerned I have not had time to get lone
some yet.
We. areon an Island in San Francisco har
bor, about an hour's ride on a steamer to
San Francisco and about lO minutes ride to
a town called Vallejo. I have been to Vallejo
twice. It is a town of about 10,000 popu
lation. Very nice place. It looks like Du
luth, being built on a hillside. On this island
are the residences oi the officers of both the
army and navy from here, the machine shops
where battle ships are repaired, the camps of
sailors, soldiers and marines. Arounfl us on
all sides ate battleships, cruisers, transports,
torpedo boats, sail boats and rowboats an
chored in the nice quiet bay of San Francis
co.
The officers' residences are real palaces,
and they have only rose bushes and palm
trees ior fences between them. The big army
hospital, navy hospital and prison are also
here. The prison has all kinds of prisoners
in it—negroes, Japs, Russians and soldiers
and sailors, who have committed different
crimes. Some are in for a 20-year term.
Talk about flowers! California certaiulv
has them—lilacs, apple, plum,, oranges ana
roses, in fact everything is green all the vear
round. Yes, and palms as high as our house.
They are grand to see.
The weaeher is very nice. Warm in the
day time and cool nights. It rains about
once a week,- otherwise it is clear.
There are. about 500 boys here. Qne hun
dred sleep in tents and the rest sleep in a big
building a block long and about one hun
dred feet wide. We have single beds and nice
bedding. The food is rather course. We get
baked pork and beans, cabbage and corn
beef, corn, peas, lima beans, all kinds of meat,
coffee, bread, but no butter. On Sunday
we get oranges for breakfast and pie for din
ner and cheese and macaroni for supper.
We get sauceytwice a week, and soup for
every dinner/ I guess we are not going to
starve on that, altho some of the boys kick
on the grub all the time.
I am in abase ball team, and have been
practicing pretty hard. 1 have also been
two games. We have afire department also.
We were called out today and we had to run
and pull a hose cart about half a mile.
We get up at.6 o'clock. From 6:10 to 6:30
we have exercise outdoors, breakfast at 7:00.
Dress parade and inspection at 8:00 and
drill and' marching from 9:30 to 10:30.
Dinner at 12 o'clock. Drill and marching
from 1:30 to 2:30. Supper at 5:30. Parade
at 7:00. /From 9:00 to 10:00 p. m. we get
ready to go to bed and at 10 p. m. the lights
go out and all must he quiet. Between
these hours we do whatever we want to.
We have a ball ground, library, reading
room, a candy store and pool room here on
the island. When we have time we have to
press, brush and clean our clothes, "polish
our buttons, shoes, rifle, saber, bayonets and
belts. I feel very good. Have an appetite
like a bear, and no cold at-all so far.
There is a great crowd of boys here, all
nice fellows. They dp not dare s'teal or get
drunk for fear of getting into the krigg (pri
son) for a month, where they arc fed on
bread and water% If they try to'run away
they certainly taUe chances of getting shot.
A fellow tried to run away the other day
and they sent about 200 soldiers with guns,
and about 10 mounted horses after him. He
got into a row boat and tried to row across,
but the horses dashed into the water and
the men on them are ordered to shoot to kill
if they do not stop. He threw up his hands
when he saw all the guns pointed at him.
We hear cannons driiltngevery day and it
shakes the windows pretty roughly. We
have four canuons here on the island as
guards. I have a rifle now and a saber. Or
bayonet rather. I was one week at foot
drilling and ever since I have been drilling
with gun. Pretty soon I will have to do
guard duty, police duty, and officer and offi
ces'guardsman duty.
