S. M. NELSON.
One of the old and respected pio
neers of the county, S. M. Nelson*
(formerly of Nest Lake in New Lon
don township) was most unexpected
ly called from this life last Thursday
morning at the residence at 324 First
street in this city. He suffered a
severe paralytic stroke at about 5:30
o'clock in the morning, and passed
away at 2:30 in the afternoon, at an
age of seventy yeais, two months and
nine days.
Swen Magnus Nelson was born at
Asaryd, Asa parish, Smaland, Swed
en, Feb. 14, 1844. Both his parents,
Nels and Eling (Persdotter) Swenson,
were born in 1814, in the same com
munity, just a century ago. At the
age of fourteen young Swen went out
into the world to battle for himself.
In the fall of 1866 he was married to
Miss Karolina Johnson. In the spring
of 1868 they emigrated to America.
Their first sorrow was occasioned on
this trip by the death of their first
born, a daughter, who was buried at
La Porte, Ind. They first located at
Carver, Minn. Later they moved to
Minneapolis where they resided a
short time. In the fall of 1869 they
located on a homestead on the Nest
Lake prairie. Here they struggled
thru the pioneer period and raised a
family of nine children,—three sons
and six daughters, all who attained
the age of promising young man and
womanhood. Then came a succession
of heavy blows—one by one of the
happy family was called away by
Death, until none of the younger chil-

dren remained to take up the work
of the old folks on the farm, and the
latter moved to Willmar and have
since lived with their one remaining
son, J. Emil Nelson. The death of her
life companion of forty-eight years is
a most crushing blow to the sadly be
reft wife and mother and to the son,
and many expressions of sympathy
from friends have reached them in
their dark hour of trouble. The de
ceased gentleman is also mourned by
three grand children, Eugene, Chester
and Feme Nelson, one brother, Peter
J. Nelson, of New London two sis
ters—Mrs. Johannah Fridlund of New
London, and Mrs. Christine Johanson
in Sweden a daughter-in-law, Mrs.
F. F. Nelson a former son-in-law—
Victor E. Lawson and other rela
tives.
The deceased was a man of many
sterling qualities, honest and upright.
He was well informed on all questions
of the day. being an industrious read
er, and formed his own opinions.
Those who knew him best, esteemed
him most highly.
Services were held at the late resi
dence at Willmar Friday evening at
6:30, in charge of Rev. W. E. Pearson
of the Bethel Lutheran church. Rev.
M. B. Michaelson of the Free church,
spoke feelingly of the deceased as a
next door neighbor and Rev. L. W.
Gade of the Presbyterian church led
in prayer. A duet was sung by Nels
S. Swenson and Samuel Nelson and
solos by Samuel Nelson and Rev. W.
E. Pearson. The remains were taken
to New London on Saturday morn
ing's train. The pall bearers at Will
mar were Lewis Johnson, C. B. Carl
son, A. P. Bergeson, August Olander,

anon church at New London by Rev.
Christian Swenson. He spoke in
Swedish using Collossians 3:2 as the
text, ahd also in English on I. Peter
4:7. Swedish hymn No. 489 was sung
and the choir gave three selections

Everyone is looking forward to

quet Friday night.
Professor Dooly and family gave
an evening's entertainment in the
high school auditorium last Wednes
day evening.
It is always wise to leave things iu
their proper places, even a small ob
stacle like a tuning-fork. It may get
people into trouble when out of its
place.
Thursday and Friday of this week
will be devoted to the Senior's eighth
month examinations which deter
mines whether or not they are en
titled to graduation.
Rev. Rice, one of the leading mem
bers of the Methodist church in this
state spoke to the high school Thurs
day morning. He related some of his
experiences of his recent European
trip.
Returns have just been received
from the State examinations given In
March. 219 certificates were receiv
ed out of 221 papers sent in. The
number of certificates received is
nearly 38 per cent larger than at this
time last year. Of these 219 certi
ficates, 177 were marked "pass plus."
Friday evening the Senior class
presented the play entitled. "At the
End of the Rainbow." The house was
crowded and all the players carried
their parts well. The receipts amount
ed to $189 and after paying expenses
they cleared about $140. A part of
this money will be used for a class
memorial left to the high school. Af
ter the play the Juniors entertained
the Seniors at a midnight lunch in
the gymnasium. As a result several
of the Junior girls scrubbed the First
Grade floor Monday evening.
The Value of Chemistry.
The one great aim of our public
school is to equip our boys and girls
with the abilty to understand and
work with the forces of nature.
Chemistry as a high school subject
should enable a boy or girl largely to
understand and become master of his
environment.
This environment consists of soils,
water, food, mineral matter and plant
life, all of which minister to the well
being of the human race, when prop
erly understood and handled, but
when carelessly used may prove to be
the source of great ill.
The chemistry student should be
able to analyse soils for the purpose
of determining whether they contain
the proper kinds and amounts of plant
food to analyse manufactured food
products for the purpose of detecting
adulterants, as for example, glucose
in place of sugar, ground clam shells
in place of pepper, alum to keep
pickles hard and brittle, sodium bicar
bonate to keep milk from souring, or
to prove the purity of any article.
Chemistry students should also be
able to detect impurities in drinking
water and the milk supply, to know
whether sugar, bread, candy, canned
goods, soaps, spices and any other
line of goods commonly used in and
about the home are pure as advertis
ed and worth the amount of money
they cost.
When this is done and the subject
is generally studied by high school
students money will be saved, health
will be conserved ana humanity will
not be at the mercy of dishonest man
ufacturers and dealers, and we will
no more hear of parties of girls eat
ing what they supposed to be straw
berry preserves and after becoming
sick finding out that they had eaten
apple sauce, ether, red ink, grass
seed and salylic acid, but no straw
berries.

SENIOR CUSS
PLAY A SUCCESS
Pre-
sent"At lie End oftie Ran
ter to Larie Hone.
This year's graduating class of the
Willmar High School pleased a large
audience with their production. "At
the End of the Rainbow," last Friday
evening. The play was a college com
edy in three acts and dealt with the
college life just before the biggest
foot ball game of the season. The
plot revolved around the securing of
Douglas Brown to play on the team.
This was accomplished by a certain
young lady, Phyllis Lane by name,
who used her persuasive powers to
great advantage. The day of the
great game arrived and thru the all
around playing of Brown his team
won. Following the game Brown dis
covers that he had been tricked by
Phyllis into playing but he was too
much in love with her to give her up.
Brown's father, a wealthy widower,
marries again to a widow who has a
daughter and both of them were try
ing to get his money. They succeed
ed in poisoning the mind of Brown,
Sr., against his son. The latter was
disowned and a will made in favor
of the widow. However, shortly be
fore his death the father relents and
make a new will in favor of his son.
The scheming women learned of this
and made an ineffective attempt to
secure the will. Brown, Jr. comes in
to his inheritance and he and Phyllis
live happily ever after.
The parts of Douglas Brown and
Phyllis Lane were handled by Ruth
Sanderson and Myron Cramer in good
style, as were the parts of the wid
ow and her daughter by Myrtle John
son and lone Geer. Vance Peterson
and Minnie Fridlund took the parts
of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Preston, a
newly married couple, in good shape.
Russel Ackerman, a lawyer, and Haz
el Benson, his ward, were two of the
prominent characters in the play and
carried their parts well. Raynold
Peterson being initiated into a'frat
and Marion Gratz into a sorority were
employed as butler and maid by Mr.
and Mrs. Richard Preston and fur
nished most of the comedy during the
play. Norman De .La Hunt, captain
of the team, was forced to the side
lines on account of injuries received
during the game.
The rest of the cast performed in
creditable manner. The proceeds
amounted to about $190. After the
performance the Juniors served a
spread in honor of the Seniors at the
High School gym.
Little Helpers to Meet
The Little Helpers of the Sw. Bap
tist church will meet in the church
Friday evening, May 1st, at 8 o'clock.
A program will be rendered, after
which refreshments will be served by
members of the Elmer Peterson and
Galliford families.
—David Hoglund returned Saturday
from Jordan.
