Respect is the Lack of Care in
the Personal Appearance.
A good hat, clean linen and a
good-looking shoe go a long way
toward making up the best personal
appearance. The most important
thing is a well made, well fitted
suit. See it made from cloth that
does not fade. Knowledge of cloth
is necessary. Rodlun has 40 years'

here last Sunday. Seventeen can
didates were admitted into full
membership in the church.
"A Wife Wanted," presented by
the local Dramatic Club at the
opera house last Thursday evening
was something of an unusual at
traction and the hall was packed
to its utmost capacity. All played
their parts excellently, and it was
one of the best plays ever given be
fore a New London audience. The
proceeds amounted to some over
$36.00. The Club also presented
the play at Spicer on Friday even
ing and at Belgrade on Saturday
evening. They will also play at
Paynesville next Saturday and will
probably be in Atwater the follow
ing week.

Olson in Spirit Land" gave a show

A SWEDISH PLAY AT
WILLMAR OPERA HOUSE
The Scandinavian people of Will
mar and neighborhood will have the
opportunity on Decoration day,
May 30, to see the Swedish Drama
tic Club of Minneapolis present the
great national play of Sweden,
"Vermlanningarne." This is a
serio-comic play portraying a real
istic conception of peasant life in
Sweden, woven into a beautiful
story of absorbing interest and
healthy humor.
The Swedish Dramatic Club of
Minneapolis consists of a large and
strong organization of the best
Swedish players west of Chicago.
Among the best known names in
this vicinity is that of Edward Ver
non, once a resident of this county,
and who in the above mentioned
play will take the part of Erik, the
lover and hero.
Another interesting feature will
be the appearance of "OUe Skratt
hult" (Hjalmar Peterson) from
Sweden, the best Swedish comedian
who ever appeared in America.
Besides appearing in the play, he
will give extra numbers between
the acts.
There will be two performances,
one in the afternoon at 2:30 o'clock,
and one at 8:15 in the evening.
See ad in this number.
John Tygeson's Severe Trial.
The 13-months-old daughter of
Mail Carrier John Tygeson died at
the home of Edw. Johnson last Sun
day morning, after a short illness
with lung fever. The funeral was
held from the Methodist church
Monday afternoon, Rev. Cummings
officiating, and the interment made
in Fairview cemetery. It is only a
little over a month since the moth
er of the babe was laid to rest,
which makes it doubly hard for the
griefstricken father and relatives
to bear, the former being himself
confined to his bed with a severe
attack of erysipelas. The sympathy
of the entire community goes out to
the sorrowing relatives.—Raymond

Rev. Carl Norberg, the new past
or for the Norwegian Lutheran
church here, will be installed next
Sunday evening, May 19. Installa

Our farmers are very busy now

TWO CASES OF INSANITY
ON THE SAME DAY
Two unfortunates were exam
ined as to their sanity yesterday
morning and were taken to Fergus
Falls by Sheriff Bonde on the noon
train. One was Signe Spor of the
town of Kandiyohi. She was 46
years old and had been troubled
with melancholia. She was brought
in by John Wicklund and was ex
amined by Drs. E. S. Frost and J.
R. Peterson. The other unfor
tunate was John O. Hedlund, a
single man 35 years old, whose
home is in Hayes township, Swift
county. He was here visiting with
his brother Louis in the First ward.
Monday night he became violently
insane and it required four men to
hold him. At midnight the sheriff
was called and took charge of the
case. Hedlund was examined by
Drs. E. S. Frost and W. E. Mac
Laughlin.
Watch and Money Stolen.
John E. Jones, a fireman who
rooms in the Samuelson block, was
robbed of a gold watch and some
money last Monday night. A thief
had entered the room while Jones
was asleep and taken his clothes
into another room and gone thru
them and taken the valuables. The
amount of the money lost was $4.50
and the watch with chain and
charm was worth $69. Suspicion
points to a stranger who had a
room in the block, but left on the
night train.
Brooten and Division Point.
Last week's Hankinson News
states that the division point is
doubtless to be removed back to
that place from Enderlin. Hankin
son is the terminal of the Bismarck
branch, and the increasing traffic
on that branch furnishes a reason
for the proposed change. In case
the move is made, the News avers,
the first division point west of Min
neapolis will be Brooten.—Belgrade
Tribune.
A number of Swedish Methodist
clergymen were in Willmar today

Another Talk with Horsemen.
Lest you forget, I'll tell you why
I think "Castel'' will take your eye.
Because the big black imported
stallion Castel (52026) is not only
the proper type of a draft horse,
but he is better bred than most
horses you have seen. Besides be
ing a showy horse, he is descended
from a long line of prize winners,
famous in France, where life and
action in the sire is indispensable,
indicating plenty of stamina to go
the route.
He is the ideal horse, showing
every point that is taken in the
judging of horses. Wide between
the eyes, indicating that he has the
brain capacity. A very fine dispo
sition, being free and active but very
quiet and intelligent.
He is a big boned horse, and
has the best of feet and legs,
showing particularly strength be
low the knee, where the native
mare is usually weak. He is an
easy keeper, but young, strong and
perfectly sound.
His colts have shown uniformity,
being nice, big boned and active,
which proves him a strong breeder.
They inherit his wonderful disposi
tion, insuring plenty of life with
gentleness and intelligence and to
a marked degree show his strong
individuality.
His services are the cheapest in
the country, based on his value or
the prospective value of his pro
duce.
Let me show him to you and tell
you moreabouthim. He will stand
during the season at Kandiyohi sta
tion on Mondays.

SMOOTH SCHEMER WORKED
MANY WILLMAR PEOPLE
We notice that in our Lake Lil
lian correspondence mention is made
of the arrest of one Eddie Hagen
by Renville county officials. This
is no doubt the same party who re
cently victimized a large number of
prominent men of Willmar. He
represented to each of his victims
that he had a sudden call to the fu
neral of a near relative and asked
for a loan for a short time to de
fray his expenses for the trip. He
represented himself to be connected
with some of the best families of
Lake Lillian and had no trouble
whatever in getting money from
the parties he saw. From one
party he secured $16.00, from an
other $7.00 and from others other
amounts. None of the victims
have cared to have their names
made public in connection with the
matter and hence have not cared to
prosecute.

But these Bensonites who were
there were desperate, bound
that Benson should not lose this
game if rooting helped any. For
the first few innings the game
looked bad for Willmar. But then
Ed gave out and since Jimmy was
not used to the new pitcher, and
vice versa, the game turned against
Benson. In the ninth inning, how
ever, the score was tied. After 11
innings were played the game was
called a tie—11 to 11. Who says
that with a little encouragement
Benson cannot mend her reputation

A Rash Promise.
A farmer in a neighboring town
ship in a generous mood gave his
daughter two chickens and bade her
"run away and be a good girl."
He promised her if she would look
after them he would feed the in
crease for four years. The girl,
as it were, planted those two chick
ens and the result, according to the
father's report, was astounding.
He says she has $64 in the bank and
has 200 chickens which he had to
feed last winter. According to the
farmer's best calculations, his
daughter will own the farm at the
end of four years, and will be
charging him rent for living on it.
