berries, angel food, coffee and wafers.
Russel S. Peterson of the Class of
1908 acted as toastmaster and filled
the position in a splendid manner, in
troducing each number in an amus
ing way. As June 14th was Flag
Day, the entire assemblage rose and
sang one verse of "The Star Spangled
Banner." The first number on the pro
gram was a piano solo by Miss Nellie
Robbins, a number greatly appreciat
ed by those present. This was fol
lowed by Thorwald Hanson, whose
topic was the Class of 1915. He stat
ed that the members of the class were
glad to become members of the Alum
ni Association, and that they would
always be trying their best to keep
up the high standard of the Associa
tion Miss Marion Minton, of the Class
of 1908 then rendered two vocal solos
winch were enthusiastically received
Miss Winifred Sherwood, Class of
1910 then followed with a toast, her
subject being "Bachelor Girls," and
she showed a thoro knowledge of her
subject This was followed by a vio
lin duet by Thorwald Hanson and El
vm Ilstrup, members of this years
class Miss Amy Sevennson, another
of this year's class, responded to a
toast, her subject being "The Class
Prophecy." The final toast of the eve
ning was given by Mrs. E. H. Frost,
of the Class of 1894. She told of the
history of the Alumni and the origin
of the same Also several ways in
which the class of 1894 was unique.
The final number was a selection
by the senior quartette, composed of
the Misses Esther Larsen and Nellie
Robbins, Robt Johnson and Lars Ped
ersen. They gave two selections
which were greatly enjoyed. At the
conclusion of the program the Asso
ciation sang a couple of verses of
"America."
The meetting was then turned over
to the vice president, the president,
Sophus Larsen, being unable to be

COUNTY GRADUATES
RECEIVE DIPLOMAS
Impressive Exercises Mark Ru
ral School Graduation in tills
City last Friday.
The second annual commencement
exercises of the rural schools of Kan
diyohi county were held at the Court
House in this city last Friday after
noon. The weather man decreed that
the day should be nice, and as a re
suit, the court room was packed to
the limit with an interested audience.
The room was beautifully decorated
for the occasion with the colors of
the class, purple and gold, and the
motto, "Not Finished, But Begun,"~oc
cupied a very conspicuous place. The
exercises opened with the graduates,
ninety-four strong, marching into
their places. The first number on
the program was a piano solo by Miss
Ethel Govig, and this was followed
by the invocation, given by Rev. J.
L. Parmeter. Miss Goldie Felt, of
District 39, the salutatorian of the
class then delivered her address of
welcome, which will be found in full
in another column of The Tribune.
Following the salutatory, Rev. W
Bryn Jones of the First Presbyterian
church of this city gave a short ad
dress, to the class. He said they had
now completed all the work required
of them by the state, but that as
many as were able would continue,
while some, due to various circum
stances would be unable to continue
However, the pleasant memories of
school days will never be forgotten
This graduation was the first real
turning point in the lives of the
scholars, and he likened their lives
so far to a mountain stream, running
in straight course, which is suddenly
changed. He urged the members of
the class not to feel as tho the world
owed them a living because such was
not the case, and he stated that they
should not be afraid of making mis
takes attainingfthe goal they were
striving for, because mistakes are
stepping* stones to success, "Always
have a vision of your possibilities
ahead of you," he said, "protect the
possibilities, and grow up to be good
men and women."
Mrs J. A. Rowat then rendered a
very pleasing vocal solo, accompan
ied by Mrs G. Handy, on the piano.
T. A. Erickson, of the Extension De
partment of the State University then
gave an interesting talk. He stated
that the members of the graduating
class represented the best of Kandi
yohi county. He said that every boy
and girl in the county was entitled to
a diploma, and he plead earnestly for
support and co-operation of the par
ents in seeing that the children had
every chance possible. He talked of
the change in running the county
schools. Formerly it was a one-sided
plan, merely to train the head, but
now three other important forms were
added. The second is the training of
the heart, teaching the scholars to be
kind, sympathetic and true thirdly
the traininge of the hands,f brought
about by th introduction manual
training and domestic science into the
schools The fourth and last one he
said could be called either health or
hustle, and was brought about by
working together, and indulging in
plenty of good out door exercise Each
one should be equipped with all four,
and if any are weak in any one, they
should strive to overcome the weak
ness. He likened., the lives to some
houses. Some lives, like some hous
es, are built for show, some are built
to sell, while others are built sub
stantially, to live in.
Miss Esther Larsen sang, "Come,
For Its June" The valedictory
was given by Miss Lena M. Nel
son of District No. 97. The complete
oration is found in another column of
this paper. Supt. W D. Frederickson
congratulated the class on fin
ishing their work, and with a few well
chosen words of advice, he presented
them with their diplomas. The exer

O I A
ANDERS RASMUSSON.
Mr Anders Rasmusson died at the
home of his son, H. P. Rasmusson at
Pennock, Tuesday morning, June 15.
Death was caused by old age.
Mr Rasmusson was born in Tjer,
Denmark, Sept. 16, 1827 and spent his
youth there In 1873 he emigrated to
America where he first located on a
homestead, one and one-half mile
north of Pennock Here he resided for
five years when he moved to a farm
two miles southeast of Pennock,
where he lived until death called him.
He leaves to mourn his sad depart
ure three children, Rasmus Rasmus
son of Pennock, H. P. Rasmusson on
the home place, and Mrs. F. W Rose
of New London, fifteen grandchild
ren and a large circle of friends.
The funeral will be held Friday,
June 18th at two o'clock from the
residence and three o'clock from the
St. John's church, of which the de
ceased was a faithful member. Rev.
M. B. Michaelson of Willntar will of
ficiated.
A Close Call.
The lightning struck down on the
house of John Thome in the village
of New London last Saturday morn
ing demolishing the chimney, tearing
off large portions of the plastering
and doing other damage internally.
Mrs. Thorne and the children were
in the house at the time, but escaped
uninjured, which almost seemed a
miracle.
Otter Tail Not Two to One.
The official county option vote in
Otter Tail county was 2,304 to 3,948,
thus lacking 660 in being two to one
In Kandiyohi county the vote was 717
to 2,142 or lacking only 9 votes in
being three to one. Therefore Kandi
yohi county still holds the banner
away ahead of any county that has
voted as yet.
—Rev. D. S. McCoslin, D. D., of St.
Paul lectures in Hawick at the resi
dence of John Hudson, Tuesday, June
22 at 8:45 m., and in New London
Presbyterian church, Wednesday eve
ning, June 23rd at &:45 p. m. Every
body welcome.
—Miss Mildred Severinson gradu
ated from th* St. Cloud Normal last
week and returned to her home in
this city Thursday afternoon to spend
the summer. She will teach at Sauk
Centre next year.
—Russell S. Peterson left Tuesday
morning for the cities where he will
take a several weeks' summer school
course at the Agricultural School.
—Prof. A. E. Nelson visited at New
London last Thursday afternoon.
BRYAN'S RESIGNATION.
W. J. Bryan's resignation from the
cabinet has been the cause of much
caustic and adverse comment, but we
predict that his action will be viewed
in a different light after a while. We
believe his resignation and the cause
givea for it has been the most potent
action for peace of any event that has
yet taken place since the saturnalia
of war broke ut. It came at the psy
chological moment and turned the
drift towards a war sentiment in this
country to peace talk. Instead of
finding fault with Wilson's second
note, which cannot be classed as a
very belligerent document, which the
jingoes would have been sure to do,
they now turn about and criticise
Bryan because he could take any of
fense at so mild an instrument. Wil
son and Bryan have not parted. The
loss of Bryan at the cabinet table is
greatly to be deplored, but probably
as he himself feels, he can do bet
ter work for the common cause as a
private citizen.
If Bryan had been the nonentity in
the cabinet that the big papers claim
why should they find fault with his
withdrawal? Only too well the big
interests and their allied politicians
know Bryan's influence with the peo
ple. Hence their determined efforts
to discredit him in this crisis Even
Roosevelt, who two weeks ago, de
nounced Wilson as a weakling, now
comes out and praises Wilson to the
skies because he believes that by so
doing he will hurt Bryan—Bryan, the
only jten whom Roosevelt knows riv
als him in popularity on the platform
Bryan will be found henceforth sup
porting Wilson, like Aaron supported
Moses, when the politicians who are
now endeavoring to make trouble be
tween the two have long since turned
on the president.
Bryan is the hero for peace. His
action has jarred the governments of
the earth more than an ultimatum for
war would have done. It is the first
cry in the wilderness from a promi
nent leader for that which must come
—international peace and the fact
that Bryan saw that he must resign
all political honors in order to make
it, renders it all the more potent.
—Do not fail to hear the Hamline
University Trio Friday night, at the
First Methodist church. These young
men are "The Jolly Bunch," and are
making "a hit" everywhere they go.

ATWATER ENTERTAINS
MANY OLD SETTLERS
Ideal Weather and GeneralGood
Time Marks Annual Reunion
Held Tuesday.
The Eighteenth Annual Reunion of
the Kandiyohi Old Settlers' Associa
tion at Atwater was a great success.
Ideal summer weather prevailed and
the attendance was good. Willmar
was well represented, also New Lon
don, SDicer, Raymond, and the coun
try districts generally. As usual in
the history of the Association the At
water people did themselves proud in
the way they provided dinner and oth
erwise entertained the Old Settlers.
The morning session was held at
the Lyric Theatre, after outdoor mus
ic by the Atwater Band. President
E. M. Stanford was prevented by ill
health from attending and Martin Ol
son was appointed acting president.
Reports of officers were heard. The
general treasury showed a balance on
hand of $171.43. The reports of Sec
retary Forsberg and Treasurer Odell
were approved. During the day $84.25
were received in dues and 26 new
members were enrolled.
Treasurer Odell of the Committee
on Old Settlers' Memorial reported
that up to that time $434.60 had been
contributed for that project. Atwater
citizens came forward with a contri
bution of $38.50, and a subscription
was taken at the meeting which
amounted to $49.50, bringing the total
at the close of the meeting to $522.60.
These last contributions will be given
in detail in our next edition. The
meeting went on record favoring the
continuance of the committee and its
work and urged all communities which
have not responded to the movement
to do their best to bring the total
amount to where something of real
credit to the county may be secured.
So far the pupils of thirty-nine dis
tricts have responded, leaving about
70 school houses yet to hear from.
Popular subscriptions have been tak
en in only 21 districts, leaving about
90 communities to hear from.
Officers for next year were elected
as follows:
President, Peter Broberg, of tt@w
London.
First Vice President, J. O. Malm
berg, Atwater.
Second Vice President, Frank Har
ris, Irving.
Secretary, A. O. Forsberg, Willmar.
Treasurer, C. W. Odell, Willmar.
At the close of the business session,
the members of the Association stood
for the annual picture, which was tak
en by H. W. Jones. The photograph
er announces that an exceptionally
fine negative was secured.
Dinner was then served in the town
hall by the ladies of Atwater a"hd they
deserve much credit for the feast pro
vided. The tables were twice filled
by the visitors who were all bounti
fully supplied.
The afternoon session took place
the open air adjoining the hall.
The band gave a concert. The new
ly-elected president not being present,
Mr. E. F. Fink of New London, and
former Supt. of Schools, was called
on and responded gracefully. Inci
dentally he mentioned that he was
back to Kandiyohi county to again be
come a resident.
I
DIRECTORS
The memorial address was given
by Secretary Forsberg. The follow
ing members of the association have
passed away during the past year:
Matts J. Granquist, Mrs. Dorothea
Sampson, Ole Arneson, Mrs. Adolph
Samuelson, Oliver Larson and Henry
Feig. Other old settlers, not enroll
ed as members, whose passing was
mentioned were Peter S. Aspaas, Hans
Westlund, Mrs. Emily Benton, And.
P. Quist, Thomas P. Sherman, Mrs.
H. W. Mankell, Mrs. Britta Lindquist,
John Johnson, Johannes Rasmusson,
K. O. Axness, Ole Husa, Mrs. Agnete
Halvorson, Mrs. R. O. Matson and
Ole Lundquist. A tribute was given
Rev. Peter Beckman, an early pastor
of the county who passed away this
year at Troy, Idaho. The speaker paid
an especial tribute to the late Henry
Feig, whom he said might with jus
tice be called the father of the Old
Settlers' Association. He was instru
mental in arranging for the fortieth
anniversary celebration of the settle
ment of Diamond Lake, which was
held July 4, 1897, from which meet
ing the permanent organization re
sulted.
A paper on Events Fifty Years Ago
was read by V. E. Lawson.
The oration of the day was deliver
ed by Judge T. O. Gilbert of Willmar,
who made an earnest plea to the
young people to continue in the foot
steps of their parents in the uphold
ing of the high ideals of the three
pillars of society, the home, the
school and the church*. He spoke
mainly as a substitute for Senator
Rustad, who was unable to be pres
ent, but we believe the assembly was
well pleased with the result.
After the singing of America, the
session came to a close and some
sports were pulled off on the street,
with J. O. Malmberg as master of
ceremonies. The annual tug-of-war
between the south and north parts of
the county resulted in the victory of
the former with all the good natured
bandy-ing, claims and counter-claims,
ifs and buts, which generally goes
with this event. All helped smoke the
cigars given as a prize.
The girls' egg race was won by
Miss Lillie Roeell, first Ella Norsten,
second and Alpha Person, third.
The Old Settlers' foot race was
won by J. O. Malmberg over J. S. An
derson. Chas. Kragenbring also
sprinted, but he was below the age
limit.
The boys' foot race was won by Ir
win, Reuben and Chester Hovey.
The doings of the day closed with
a ball game, Atwater vs. Dassel, which
was witnessed by several hundred
people. The score stood 4 to 8 in
favor of the home team.
An Appreciation.
The Chronicle man heard Benjamin
Swalin, of the North High, a mere lad
in knee-pants, play the violin at an
entertainment a few nights ago. As
he took his place we saw a slender
lad and one had no right to expect
much. There was a suggestion of mas
tery, however, as he assumed posi
tion to let fall his bow. The introduc
tion was a daring one and compelled
immediate respect. It was a dash in
double stops, portamento, with vigor
ous bowing and a noble tone. After
the first phrase the audience was his.
There were a certain abandon, a free
dom of movement, a swaying of the
body in harmony with the rhythm of
the music, a remarkable vigor as well
as delicacy in the use of the bow, a
perfect intonation, and a technique
entirely adequate to the demands of
the selections played. The tones
drawn from the String were some
thing superb. His harmonics, not too
Leely used, were little flashes of
light. In one passage where the bow
ing ended and the pizzicato began
was a bewildering puzzle to the lis
teners.
Nor was his work merely an exhi
bition of .dexterity. There seemed to
be feeling and passion, and fire in
and the wonder is how so young a lad
could have so many attributes of the
artist.
Master Benjamin Swalin will assist
at Nordmandenes Sangforening con
cert June 23.

GREAT PATTERSON
CARNIVAL SHOWS
AtWillow EwyDiy,Jw28ti
July 3, for Bea«ftt of Will
's Batd.
The Willmar Citizens' Band have
contracted with the Patterson's
Shows to give a week's engagement
at the ball park at Willmar beginning
Monday, June 28, and closing Satur
day, July 3. The following clipping
from the Paola newspaper gives an
outline of what these shows are:
"The Patterson Shows are having
their annual opening in Paola, their
winter home, this week. The equip
ment has been overhauled, improved
and added to until it is practically
new and is greater, larger and more
complete than ever before in the his
tory of these successful shows. The
one thing that has marred the open
ing is the illness of Mr. Patterson,
who has been confined at his beauti
ful home on the farm at the winter
quarters with a severe attack of ery
sipelas, from which he is happily
gradually recovering.
"The Patterson Shows are the lead
ers among the carnivals, and have
become so strictly on their merits.
Their attractions are the best that
money can buy and their equipment
always the best. They are a veritable
city of canvas, their shows occupying
all the room about the city park and
reaching into the streets leading off
from the park, with the animal show
occupying the city's half block just
north of the park.
"The feature of the shows is of
course the Patterson-Backman com
bined Anglo-Saxon Trained Wild Ani
mal Arena, with performing African
lions, Major Dumond's fight with an
untamable lion, Prof. Bray's perform
ing Teddy bears, educated dogs, mili
tary ponies, performing elephants, the
only riding tiger in the world, high
school horses and many other feat
ures, making it a show without a
rival.
"Roberta and her lady minstrels, a
bevy of pretty girls in a musical me
lange, is a new attraction that draws
large and delighted crowds.
