CELEBRATES 15TH
ANNIVERSARY
The local chapter of the Eastern
Star celebrated its fifteenth anniver
sary last Wednesday evening by spe
cial exercises. Mrs. Mary C. Taylor
of Minneapolis, Grand Secretary of
the lcage, was present as the guest
of honor. This was doubly interest
ing as Mrs. Taylor was the one who
organized the local chapter. Other
visitors from the Twin Cities were
Mrs. Simpson, Mrs. Williams and
Mrs. Bruce. After the regular
lodge work the remainder of the
evening was spent socially, with
talks from different members, after
which a delightful luncheon was
served. There was a large attend
ance of members, as well as a num
ber of delegations from neighbor
ing towns.
Crawford Postcarded.
A. C. Crawford, formerly auc
tioneer and real estate agent here,
but now with the Ottawa Land
company of Ottawa, Kansas, writes
the Tribune asking us to extend his
cordial thanks to all the Willmar
friends who remembered him with
post cards on his fiftieth birthday
on the 18 inst. More than 100
cards were sent from here, and Mr.
Crawford no doubt had to take off
a day or two to look after his Min
nesota mail. It is needless to say
that Mr. Crawford was very much
pleased to be so generously remem
bered. And if he succeeds in find
ing out the birthdays of those 100
it is a safe bet that every last one
of them will get a return greeting
at the appropriate time
False Fire Alarm
Somebody turned in a fire alarm
Morday morning about 9 o'clock,
and the department at once hurried
to H. T. Olson's in the, first ward
where the blaze was supposed to be.
They found the spot all right, but
as it was located on top of a snow
drift and as the blaze was due to a
lot of odds and ends the consumption
of which was under the personal
direction of Mr. Olson, the fire bojs
did not interfere. Mr. Olson was
very much pleased with the prompt
ness with which the department
turned out. He said he hardly had
time to wonder where the fire could
be before the fire fighters were
the spot ready for work.

the
Gustavus Kirby, the employer of
the woman whom his brother Sam
mistook for Mrs. Gunness, disap
peared from the Kirby farm in
Harrison Tuesday of last week, and
so far nothing has been heard from
him. Mrs. Casey, the victim of
the Gunnes hoax, was in town
Wednesday, but neither she nor
Sam knows where the missing Kir
by is.
Before going to town Mrs. Casey
left her little son with a neighbor,
and this aroused the suspicion of
'diggin' up somethin' new every
day'. All this reading matter Sam
carried in a huge leather wallet,
carefully tucked away in a pocket on
the inside of his vest. But he
didn't have time to show it all for
the train left on time. It is gen
erally believed here that Sam
knows where his brother is, for he
was the one who brought back the
team by means of which Gus took
French leave. Anyway Mrs. Casey
thinks so* She blames Sam for the
whole trouble, saying everything
was lovely between her and Gus.
In fact she figured that she and Gus
would leave for California in a
short time as man and wife. Just
what she will do now she does not
know, but she intimated that
"something is likely to drop soon.

Samuel R., who was 'on the job
lookin' after things' out there at
the time. He thought the woman
was going to skip out and leave the
'dope'—as he termed the boy, on
the hands of the neighbors, and as
he had vowed that 'no one was go
in' to suffer no hurt thru her' he at
once telephoned the authorities
here to look after Mrs. Gasey till
he should come. He arrived on the
afternoon train, just in time to find
out that Mrs. Gasey had already
made arrangements to go to Kandi-i known
yohi and that there she had en- burg,
gaged a team to take her to the
Kirby farm. That eased him a bit,
but to be sure he also bought a
ticket to Kandiyohi in order that
'she might not go by'.
Samuel was as confident and as
full of secrets as ever. He showed
the reporter a large number of let

activities of the men of the Uni
versity including all the strictly
men's organizations.
Two years ago a movement for
this building was started, and at
that time the male students alone
pledged over $24,000 in less than a
week for this purpose. It is defi
nitely predicted that with the
thought that it is to honor Prexy
this sum will be decidedly in
creased. ._
Certain definite backing has been
promised the movement and the
campaign has been so laid as to
make it short and effective and
to bring it to the attention of every
man, woman and child in the state
of Minnesota and to the alumni of
the University wherever they may
be located. President Northrop
has been, for the past twenty-six
years, the most prominent figure in
the state of Minnesota, He has
been always ready to go anywhere
at any time and speak upon any
subject, provided it would help
along the worthy cause. For the,
thousands of addresses he has made,
President Northrop has seldom re
ceived any compensation—and not
infrequently he has paid his own
traveling expenses. Every citizen
of the state owes him a debt of
gratitude for what he has done to
make life in the state more worth
living and for the high standards
of life he has always upheld and
enforced by example and precept.
Ihe thousands of men and women
of the University who have come
into personal contact wih this lov
able and cultured man have each in
turn contributed to the uplift of
the state.
The state has benefited much
through the services of President
Northrop and it will be honoring
itself in honoring him by erecting,
as a tribute to him, a building that
he himself feels will be a constant
source of inspiration and uplift to
the men of the University for gen
erations to come.
WRONG VIEW
OF THE CENSUS
No Harm Can Come to Any Per
son Who Answers the
Questions.
Washington, D.
March 2, 1910.
Letters from the census supervis
ors to the United States Census
Bureau show the erroneous appre
hension of a considerable element
of the population that their answers
to the enumerators' questions in the
next census, beginning April 15,
this year, will cause increased taxa
tion, legal entanglements, or injur
ious consequences to their persons
and property.
In order to quiet such unfounded
fears, which would, unless removed,
materially affect the accuracy of
the census, the bureau has prepared
an official statement relative to the
decennial census, its origin, pur
pose, and uses.
This statement should furnish
complete assurance to those con
cerned that intbrmation given the
enumerators is held by the Census
Bureau in the strictest confidence
with reference to the identity of
the informants, as required by the
policy of the bureau and commanded
by the law of the United States.
The bureau earnesty hopes that
clergymen, priests, physicians,
school-teachers, emloyers and other
public spirited citizens who come
in contact with large numbers of
people will co-operate with the
bureau by telling persons who are
believed to entertain erroneous opin
ions of the census the real facts and
urging them to give full replies to
the enumerators. Teachers are
particularly requested to speak of
the census to the school children
and ask them to tell their parents
about it.
The statement issued by the
bureau explains that- the Constitu
tion requires a census of the popu
lation to be taken every ten years
in order to reappoint state repre
sentation in the National House of
representatives. It is the means
also to ascertain the increase in the
population, agriculture, industries
and resources of the nation since
the last census.
It is emphatically declared, by
the statement, that information
sought from the people of the Unit
ed States is used solely for general
statistical purposes. It will neither
be published or used in any other
way to disclose facts regarding any
individual or enterprise. The cen
sus, it goes on to say, is not, nor
never has been, and can not be em
ployed to obtain information that
can be used in any way in the as
sessment of property for purposes
of taxation or the collection of
taxes, either national, state, or lo
cal or for deportation proceedings,
extradition measures, army or navy
conscription, internal revenue in
vestigations, compulsory school at
tendance, child-labor law prosecu
tions, quarantine regulations, or in
any way to affect the life, liberty,
or property of any person.
It points out that replies to the
enumerators are and and must be
held by the Census Bureau in strict
and absolute confidence. All the
bureau officials, supervisors, sup
ervisors clerks, enumerators, and
interpreters, before entering upon
their duties, are obliged to take a
solemn oath not to disclose any in
formation they may obtain, except
to the Census Bureau, and a viola
tion of the United States law in re
gard to this oath means a $1,000 fine
or imprisonment for two years,
or both, in the discretion of the
court.
