ANTON J. LUNDQUIST.
A pall of sadness settled over the
community last Thursday, when it be
came generally known that Anton J.
Lundquist, the bright young son of
Mr. and Mrs. August Lundquist of
Tripolis, had succumbed on Wednes
day to an attack of typhoid fever, af
ter only a few days' illness.
Anton Lundquist was born on a
farm at Tripolis, and was twenty
years old Feb. 11th. He attended
school at Kandiyohi until he finished
the seventh grade, then came to Will
mar and for five years made his home
with his aunt, Mrs. Wm. Thompson,
graduating from both the eighth grade
and the high school here. He was
one of the class of 1912. He was ac
tive in athletics while here and was a
general favorite. For the past three
years he has been attending school at
Custavus Adolphus College at St. Pet
er, and was to have graduated from
there next year. He reached home
about three weeks ago to spend the
summer vacation with his parents. He
was not feeling well, but tho't he only
had a bad cold It was not until the
previous Friday that he was feeling
poorly enough to go to bed and a doc
tor was called and his case pronounc
ed typhoid fever.
The parents, three sisters, Mrs.
John Dahleen of St. Paul, Mrs. Clar
ence Lindblad of Svea, and Miss Flor
ence Lundquist, who lives at home,
and four brothers, Eddie, Chas. Harry
and Reuben are left to mourn the un
timely death of their son and brother,
They have the most profound sym
pathy of all.
The funeral occurred at Tripolis
last Sunday afternoon. A quartet com
posed of Mr. and Mrs. P. E. Lund
quist, Victor Holmberg and Mrs. Ed.
Hanson sang a selection at the house.
At the church Rev. Gustaf Knock of
Lincoln, Neb, spoke in English and
Rev B. E. Walters in Swedish. The
church choir gave a selection. The
pall bearers- were Henry Redig, Law
rence Peterson, George Johnson, Ed
win Johnson, Ferdinand Croonquist
and William Peterson. It was one of
the largest attended funerals ever
held at Tripolis. There were many
floral offerings, including fine pieces
from the Willmar and Cokato ball
teams The faculty of Gustavus Adol
phus College adopted the following re
solutions and requested their publi
cation in the Willmar Tribune:
RESOLUTIONS.
WHEREAS it has pleased our Heav
enly Father to call from this earthly
life Anton J. Lundquist, a student in
last year's Junior class of Gustavus
Adolphus College, the faculty of the
college wishes to express to the be
reaved family its most sincere sym
pathy in this its hour of bitter trial.
We mourn in Anton Lundquist a
good and conscientious student, al
ways interested in college activities,
and a friend of the institution. He
will be missed at our college when the
next school year opens. The members
of the faculty, his classmates and
friends will feel his loss keenly. We
all regret that such a young life
should be taken away from us, a life,
which might, as far as we can see,
have been of great service for many
years to come.
We hope and pray that the Lord
will console you in this great bereave
ment and grant you, according to His
promise, strength to bear this heavy
loss and to submit humbly to His
holy will—for the paths of the Lord
are loving kindness and truth."

U^
Finale, America.
Like all classical ballets, the "Dance of the Hours" in the sec
ond act of "La Gioconda" tells a story. The first of the four move
ments suggests the Dawn, and prepares the way for the event, in the sec
ond" movement of the Day, symbolic of Light, Art, Order, Joy and Pro
gress. In the third movement the day pales as the Dusk, or Evening,
appears, forecasting the approach, in the last movement, of the Night,
the time of evil and crime. The dancers symbolizing Night are mask
ed. They are hostile to the earlier hours with whom they proceed to
struggle lor supremacy. Night—the powers of ignorance and Evil
is forja moment victorious. But gradually the brighter and purer in-
again, rise and defeat the influences of Night, whose masks are torn
from them as Progress and Light triumph.

far away from home she is in the Alps, and listens to the mountain

more and more troublous grows her dream she wakes—daylight has

STORM DEMOLISHES
FARM BUILDINGS
Twisters Sweep Over Kandiyohi
and Harrison Townships.
Ruin Farm Buildings.
A cyclone swept over the towns of
Kandiyohi and Harrison last Friday
evening a little after seven o'clock.
Fortunately no human lives were lost.
In nearly every case the residence
was spared, which alone accounts for
the escape of the people where the
storm struck. The Tripolis church
escaped almost miraculously for it
was in the path of the storm.
This Is The Season Of Storms
Cyclone and Hail Insurance
In the Leading American Companies
INQUIRE OF
HANS GUNDERSON, Agent
Cor. 6 St. a Litchfield A WILLMAR, MINN.
The storm first struck the buildings
en the old Hoglund place on Lake Wa
gonga, now owned by Chas. Berg, anduninjured
swept northeasterly. It did some dam
age at Chas. Peterson's demolished
the silo on'the Williams place, oppos
ite the Tripolis parsonage. It demol
ished the barn at E. O. R. Johnson's,
ripped off the shingles and chimney
of the house, and killed a cow and a
calf. At Charley J. Nelson's place the
barn, silo and windmill, were demol
ished, three cows killed, and other
damage done at Chas. Johnson's, the
silo, machine shed, and farm machin-
ery was demolished. Here the family
saw the storm coming and went out
and lay down on the ground. The new
residence and barn escaped injury,
however. At Walter Sjoberg's the
barn was moved somewhat and at
Harrison a shed was destroyed and
the chickens were killed. At Chas.
Blomquist's place the barn and out
buildings were demolished. On the
old Solomon Lundquist place the
buildings were badly damaged. The
storm then did not strike any farm
place very badly until after it had
passed over Diamond Lake when it
completely demolished the barns and
sbeds on the Herman Gratz farm. The
full fury of.the storm seemed to have
developed here. The cyclone made a
clean sweep thru the wood twisting
down large trees. The chimneys,
porch and windows on the residence
were demolished. The family sought
safety in the basement which probably
saved them from injury from flying
glass and debris. Mr. Gratz was just
building a new barn. A quantity of
bundles of shingles have disappeared
entirely. A bucket of paint was found
two miles from the place.
A board had been driven eight feet
into the ground in one instance.
About fifteen acres of heavy timber
in the Diamond Lake woods were
twisted and broken down.
All the stricken people were almost
cheerful after their heavy loss be
cause they considered themselves so
lucky, in escaping unhurt from the
storm.
At the Gratz place more than a hun
dred neighbors gathered Monday to
help in clearing away the trees and
debris which were entangled about
the place. At Charley Johnson's place
yesterday was a crew of men picking
up the broken buildings.
Cancels Date.
Hon. E. E. Lobeck, the welknown
champion of Prohibition who was ad
vertised for an open air meeting on
our streets Thursday afternoon, has
cancelled his date here, The wet con
dition of the roads make travel for
the water wagon campaign auto quite
impossible for the time being.
CHAUTAUQUA NOTES.
The only thing that now stands in
the way ot the complete success of
the 1914 Willmar Chautauqua which
opens with two concerts by Liberati's
Band tomorrow Is the wether, and
there seems to have come a decided
change for the better in that respect.
All the remaining season tickets re
quired to be sold in advance have been
apportioned to the various members
of the Citizens' Committee, and many
of these have reported the disposal of
their allotments. The supply is not
limited, however, and all our citizens
are urged to secure season tickets.
That is the best and by far the cheap
er way. There are always some mem
bers of the family who can attend the
sessions, and receive the inspiration
and great good from the splendid tal
BmV provided. Here are the members
of the committee. Apply to any of
them for season tickets:
E. M. Stanford, C. W. Odell, E. C.

The dates for the School of Health
have been fixed for July 5 to 8 inclus
ive. The time of these sessions will
be announced in ample time. Ex
perts on physical training and on pro
per foods will be present and give in
struction. This is an extra feature
provided for the patrons without addi
tional cost.
An important change in the time of
the appearance of Prof. Wassam and
Father Daly have been announced, but
thru an oversight were not corrected
in the program on page 4. The new
schedule brings Prof. Wassam Sunday
afternoon and Father Daly Monday
night. Ticket holders are advised to
make the correction in their souvenir
Another change is that Col. Bain,
the silver tongued orator of Kentucky,
will appear July 4 instead of Mr. Bige
low, and will speak in the afternoon
instead of evening.
Get a copy of the souvenir program
for reference during session and forMiss
keeping afterwards. Blank pages are
provided for .making any notes you
may wish regarding the features.
Reservations of reserved seat tick
ets may be made at the secretary's
office tomorrow morning until noon,
and at the park auditorium before and
after the afternoon performance. Any
ticket not bought as reserved seat
may be reserved for the season by
paying 50c additional.
Judging from the requirements of
the Indian troupe the rendition of
Longfellow's "Hiawatha," and depic
tion of Indian life will be big numbers
on the program. They carry scenic
effects and will camp near the audi
torium.
The advance sale of about six hun
dred season tickets guarantees a
greater regular attendance than at
any previous Chautauqua at Willmar.
These alone would be sufficient to fill
completely the center section. The
1914 assembly is going to be a win
ner—The finest program ever—the
biggest crowds—and the most enthus
iasm. Don't miss it.

W I NG ITS BOWS
$30,000 Today»
Mney Stakhf
While calling at the City Clerk's
office yesterday your reporter had the
pleasure of seeing a check in an
amount large enough to have been
noticed in Wall Street.
The check was for $30,000, and was
ordered issued at the last City Council
meeting in payment of bonds sold by
the Village of Wrilmar fifteen years,
ago, which mature today, July 1, 1914,
and for which there Is now funds in
the treasury to take up this whole
amount.
We are informed that there Is now
more than thirty-five thousand dollars
in the Sinking Fund, which has been
accumulated from a small tax levy
and from a certain part of licenses
and fines collected.
The Charter provides for a three
mill levy for the Sinking Fund, but
six years ago the Board of Tax Levy
recommended a reduction and since
then the levy has been only 1% mill
for this fund, which will be sufficient
to pay up the bonds of the city as
they become due.
The above demonstrates the value
of saving. Even a small amount put
aside every year will in the course of
a few years, with compounding of in
terest, amount to a large sum.
