CIRCUS DRAWS
I CROWD
Yankee Robinson in Willmar
Wednesday.—Rain Stops
Evening Performance.
Last Wednesday was "Circus day"
and as a consequence there was a
large number of visitors from the
country and neighboring towns on
our streets. Especially was there a
big line up on the sidewalk at noon
during the parade.
The circus was that of Yankee
Robinson and gave a fairly satisfac
tory performance in the afternoon.
Their large three-ring tent was about
filled with those who had come out
of their own accord to see the show
and those who had "brought the chil
dren out to see the animals."
The best feature on the program
was the trained seals, which was
really a wonderful performance. The
"concert" after the show was a frost.
During the afternoon performance
the rain started to fall and continued
until after the show so that many
people got wet on leaving the tent.
Many, however, remained huddled in
the menagerie dodging the drops that
leaked thru at the seams of the tent
roof, eating crackerjacks and inci
dently feeding peanuts to the ele
phants.
There was no performance in the
evening. Tho the weather cleared up
by supper time the management no
doubt decided that the sloppy condi
tion of the ground would so curtail at
tendance as to make a second exhibi
tion unprofitable, and hence folded
their tents and continued on their
way to the town of their next per
formance.
The Tribune acknowledges a gen
erous treatment from the show man
agement. As there was no show in
the evening our printery force miss
ed the use of their comps, however.
Midsummer at Christine.
The midsummer festival of the
Christine church will be held at Ole
E. Erickson's place. The exercises
will begin at ten oclock with appropri
ate services wijh a sermon by the
pastor, Rev. Alex. Peterson. At 12
o'clock dinner will be served by the
ladies of the church. In the afternoon
a good program will be given includ
ing solos by Mrs. A. Peterson, Hildur,
Ryden, Sam'l Nelson, Mats Walner
and Rev. Peterson a duet by Rev
and Mrs. Peterson and recitations by
Misses Minnie Sundin and Amy Ray
of Willmar. Hon. M. J. Dowling of
Olivia will speak just before dinner
All are cordially invited to come and
spend the day with us. Committee
Quotes From Valedictory Address.
Mr. Editor:
The following is part of the Vale
dictory address of the graduating
class of the Willmar High School as
printed:
"There is one Parochial school, the
seminary, which at different times
has given a good course in teleg
raphy, through the assistance of Mr
Hill, and is at present offering a fine
business course."
If not inspired it must certainly
have the approval of the powers that
be and as such should be given wide
publicity and therefore ask that it
be printed in your columns. The tax
payers should not complain when
they see such results.
L. O. THORPE.
Mr. and Mrs. Hugo Hoglund spent
Sunday at the home of Mrs. Hog
lund's parents in Oak Park.
—Mr. and Mrs Martin Simons
and baby left Tuesday for a few days'
visit in Minneapolis.
—Simon Solomonson of Kandiyohi
visited here between trains Monday.
The Big Sleep.
A middle aged couple were prepar
iug to «lea\e for a week end with a
daughter in the city, and their last in
structions to theii grownup son, who
was a heavy sleeper, were to be sure
to wind his alarm clock, so that he
woufd be in time for his work the next
morning.
Monday noon they got back to the
bouse and were surprised to find the
blinds closed exactly as they had been
left the Friday pre\ious on their de
parture. As they let themselves into
the bouse they beaid their son's voice
coming sleepily from his bedroom:
"What's the matter? Did you miss
your train?"—Exchange.
10 CENT "CASCARETS"
IF BILIOUS OB COSTIVE
For Sick Headache, 8our 8tomach,
8lugglth Liver and Bowels—They
work while you sleep.
Furred Tongue, Bad Taste, Indiges
tion, Sallow Skin and Miserable Head
aches come from a torpid liver and
clogged bowels, which cause your
stomach to become filled with undi
gested food, which sours and ferments
like garbage in a swill barrel. That's
the first step to untold misery—indi
gestion, foul gases, bad breath, yellow
skin, mental fears, everything that la
horrible and nauseating. A Cascaret
to-night will give your constipated
bowels a thorough cleansing and
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep—a 10-cent box
from your druggist will keep you feel
ing good for months.

An Interesting Book.
A French marquise whose country
house is crowded with guesis during
the hunting season hit upon the origi
nal Idea of placing a register at the
disposal of her visitors in which to
record their desires and criticisms.
The pages of the richly bound book
soon began to be covered with notes
such as:
"Count de R. still owes 25 Iouis. He
knows to whom."
"The green peas yesterday were
burned."
"Baroness M. flirts—unfortunately not
with me."
The marquise has withdrawn the
register.
Settled the Colonel.
Some countries are now beginning to
take mimic warfare quite as seriously
as the Germans. With the Germans
blunders in "kriegspiel" are punished
as severely as if they were real war
In the time of the old kaiser a foreign
prince attending the maneuvers drew
his breath at the incredible spectacle
of a regiment of cavalry charging
down on an intrenched village.
"Mon Dieu!" he exclaimed to his
Prussian companion. "That regiment is
lost!"
"No." was the quiet rejoinder, "the
regiment isn't, but its colonel certainly
will be."
And he was.
Perils of Pearl Diving.
Though diving bells were taken to
Ceylon in 1825 for use in the pearl
fishery, neither they nor the European
diving dress can compete with the
naked native. Arab divers use a sort
of horn clip with which to close their
nostrils when under water, but the
Ceylon diver holds his nostrils with
his band only until such time as he
reaches the sea bottom. The average
time that a Tamil remains below Is
between fifty and sixty seconds, while
an Arab remains under water between
eighty and ninety seconds. Occasion
ally men, either .from greed or over
estimation of their strength, collapse
at the bottom and are brought up dead
Her Sympathy.
A street car flirt tried in every way.
to attract the attention of the pretty
young girl opposite him. Just as be
had about given up the girl, entirely
unconscious of what had been going
on, happened to glance in his direc
tion. The flirt immediately took fresh
courage.
"It's cold out today, isn't it?" he
ventured.
The girl smiled and nodded assent,
but had nothiug to say.
"My name is Spet-knoodle," he vol
unteered.
"Ob. 1 am so sorry!" she said sym
pathetically as she left the car.—Chi

WILLMAR BAND 1
RE-ORGANIZED
The Old Standbys and Some
New Blood Make Up New
Organization.
A meeting was held last Friday eve
ning at the Tjosvold Music store by
a number of our local musicians for
the purpose of organizing or rather
reorganizing the Willmar band. There
ought to be no excuse for a town the
size of Willmar to go without a good
li/e band, and it is now the determin
ation to make an earnest effort to ef
fect an organization which will be a
good advertisement to our city as
well as a permanent one.
The band will be under the leader
ship of Rev. W. E. Pearson who is a
musician of marked ability and, we
believe, will make the organization a
success.
The officers elected were W. E
Pearson, director, Elmer Peterson,
president Oscar Hogberg, secretary
Erick Glad, vice president R. W.
Palmer, treasurer Roy Peterson, pro
perty man. The name of the organi
zation will remain the Willmar Mili
tary Band.
The first rehearsal was held last
Tuesday evening at the Commercial
Club rooms. The band will endeavor
to put itself in shape to furnish mus
ic for the Old Settlers' meeting to
be held at Willmar next Tuesday.
The membership now is about
twenty tho the instrumentation is not
yet complete, there being several
players yet needed.
Nebraskan Buys Farm.
Dr. M. A. Miller, a dentist of Wa
hoo, Neb., has purchased the Oliver
Blomquist farm in Kandiyohi and
Fahlun towns. Mr. Miller called on
the Tribune today. He is much
pleased with this country. He says
the alfalfa field sown on his new farm
in June of last year is as good as any
thing he has seen in Nebraska. Al
falfa he said, would make land here
worth easily $50 more to the acre.
Dr. Branton's Associate.
Walter D. Brodie, M. arrived
Monday from St. Paul and will be
Dr. Branton's assistant at the Will
mar Hospital and in Dr. Branton's ex
tensive practice. Dr. Brodie comes
from the St. Paul City and County
Hospital and is highly recommended.

Mrs. O. P. Rice Honored.
A farewell party was given Mrs.
O. P. Rice last Monday evening at the
basement of the Lutheran Free

MISS FOLA LA FOLLETTE
In Woman Suffrage Lecture
ISS Fola La Follette, daughter of U. S. Senator Robert M. La Fbl
lette, who will appear on the local Chautauqua platform, Is one of
the most noted women that have ever visited our town and com
munity. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin she
chose the stage as the field of her professional career and her reputation is
well established throughout all America, Also she is the first well known
American actress to give the great plays In which she has appeared in mono
logue form. Also she has taken great interest in and added much to the
cause of universal suffrage. Her appearance here will be in a lecture en
titled, "The Democracy of Woman Suffrage." Regarding her ability as a
public speaker and especially in the cause of suffrage we desire to quote
three well known Americans who have heard her, as follows:
Hon. William E. Borah, United States Senator from Idaho, says: "I hare
had the pleasure, and it was a distinct pleasure, of listening to Miss La Fol
lette. She is a remarkable woman. Those who may have the pleasure of
hearing her will, I am sure, cordially agree with the view I have expressed."
Carrie Chapman Catt, President of the International Woman Suffrage Al
liance, commends Miss La Follette as follows: "She unites a remarkable
persuasive, sweet personality and a splendidly trained voice with a brave
intrepid mind a combination which cannot fail to win its place in some great
movement for the betterment of humanity. I predict a great future upon the
olatform for this wholly charming and beautiful young woman.**
