Brought to Willmar for Interment. The remains 6V Robert Thompson arrived here on Thursday from Clark, S. for burial in this city. The deceased is the seventeen year old son of Mr. and Mrs.

O. Thompson, who formerly conducted the Marjow House here, and who arrived in the city this week on their sad mission. Death was due to diabetes, from which the young man died last Monday morning after a brief illness. Deceased is the youngest child of a family of three sons and one daughter, who, with the parents, will deeply mourn the loss of the one who was so suddenly taken away from them. Definite arrangements for the funeral had not been made at this writing.

The interment takes place at Fairview cemetery, where other members of the family are buried. Pastor Buys a Farm. Rev. J. S.

Halvorson of Spicer has.5 purchased eighty acres of the Peter Johnson farm in town of Dovre. He expects to move onto the same next spring, when the parsonage at Spicer will be vacant. Rev. Halvorson is the pastor of the three Norwegian Lutheran churches in this county of the Hauge's Lake, Green Lake and Norway Lake. A portion of the Peter Johnson farm has been purchased by Daniel Mooson, one of the neighbors.

Mrs. Johtson expects to move to Willmar to reside. School Board Meets. The school board held its regular monthly meeting last Wednesday evening, and among other matters of business transacted was the election of a treasurer, which had been postponed from a previous meeting. H.

S. has so ably served in that capacity for some time, was honored with a re-election. The board reports a decrease of $5(000 in the tax levy, the special tax for school purposes rjw being' $9,000. The amount latt year was $14,000. THE COOKBOOK.

Bacon fat imparts a delicious flavor to chicken if used for basting or frying. When making cakes try greasing the tins with olive oil instead of with butter. You will find that the cakes turn out better. The secret of making corn meal gems so that they are light and digestible lies in scalding the meal thoroughly, in mixing quickly and putting in a very hot oven immediately. Delicious sandwiches are made of whole wheat bread into which haaelnut meats were stirred before baking.

Cut the bread in thin slices and spread with butter and. orange, marmalade. The water in which corned beef is cooked should on no account be thrown away. After the hot corned beef is taken from the table, to be afterward eaten cold," put it in a stone Jar and pour the pot liquor over it Keep the beef in the liquor until the last of it has been eaten. If hash is made use the liquor to moisten it in the spider.

VOICE CULTURE. Don't breathe through the mouth, but through the nose, and inhale as deeply as possible. Don't whine and don't become hypercritical or you will probably have a harsh, rasping voice. Don't imagine that beauty, dress, manner, vivacity, style or wit can compensate for a poor voice. Don't expect to speak clearly unless you hold up your head and open your throat as well as your mouth.

Don't take life too seriously If you want a melodious voice. Relax the strained muscles of the face and neck and look and be happy and contented. Think of pleasant things. Don't try always to speak in a low voice." Cujtivate variety. Let the tones be gay, warm, vivacious.

Don't push the sound out with the throat. Enunciate clearly with the lips. Sustain tone with the diaphragm. The vocal chords will then vibrate musically. TOILET HINTS.

The hair should never be dried before a hot fire, as the heat impairs its vitality and may produce a severe headache or a cold. Don't buy a cheap dressing comb. It pays to buy a good, flexible tortoise shell comb, even if you must do with one dress less during the year. Don't expect to cure an eruption on the face by external applications only. A hot footbath containing washing soda will often cure this trouble.

A shampoo mixture that is highly recommended consists of one-quarter of an ounce of alcohol, one dram of powdered borax, two and a half grains of camphor. Add the borax last of all, cork tightly and shake well before using. JTvat Saved From Starvation. When in 1891 Miss Balfour was visiting the west of Ireland and studying the condition of the people she asked one of them how they were getting on in a particular village. "Arrah, miss, rare and if it wasn't for the famine we'd be Bull.

Two Sfdea of a Caao. I suppose you can recommend your tailor to me? but yon will have to get some one else to recommend joo to my Brief. I HAVE often wondered how much money is annually lost in Wall street and in the various boards of trade and exchanges of our leading remarked Judge Sawyer. "There is as much won as there is lost," declared Postmaster Jenkins, "so you cannot say that anything is lost. It as, if ypq and the colonel and, me set down and played poker here In my office and you lost $10 and I lost $15 and the colonel won $25.

There Is nothing lost. The money simply changes hands." commission is termed a 5 1W1CE-A-WEEK WTimAR COLONEL MONROES DOCTRINE TKe Financial and Moral Losses Sustained by the Nation In Consequence of Wall Street Speculation F-RE-DE-RICK VTHAM Copyright, 1908. by Frederick Upham Adams "Ton were never more mistaken in your life," said Colonel Monroe when Jenkins had ended. "If you had located your poker game in the rear of Healyls saloon, where a privileged few are permitted to indulge in this so I am illustration would be more to the point In consideration of the risk he runs for allowing gambling in his premises, and for the other reason that be needs the money, Healy collects a commission on all hands played. I have read somewhere that thi.s or and goes into a mysterious place called the Are not those the expressions.

Judge Sawyer?" "I am not competent to add anything to your knowledge on the subject of the national game of draw poker," laughed the Judge. "If the three of us risked $10 each In Healy's game or, for that matter, any public poker game," observed the colonel, "and played steadily for four or five hours, it is safe to say that the 'kitty' would have absorbed at least $10 of our combined capital, and if the cards broke even we would all be losers at the end of the game. The steady drain which flows into the "kitty' is the most prolific cause of the poverty of gamblers, be they card gamblers, horse gamblers, lottery gamblers or speculative gamblers. Every man who stakes his money against a professional gambling game does so with the odds overwhelmingly against him. He may not know It.

If not, the more fool he. But the 'rake is not the only thing which menaces the lamb who trusts his money in Wall street It Is not a 'square to again quote the vernacular of the gambler. Crooked players are not only allowed to take part in the shaping of quotations, but they actually dominate the situation." "It seems to me that Wall street is greatly changed in recent years," said Judge Sawyer. "It is not long ago since values fluctuated on account of the prospects of success or failure of crops or of an increase or decrease in the profits of a concern whose- stock was traded in. If business were good stocks would move upward if business were bad stocks would fall.

The successful speculator was the one with the more accurate judgment concerning the probable effect of natural conditions. At the present time there seems to be no connection between real values and Wall street quotations." "Not the slightest" said Colonel Monroe. "Stocks which never have paid a dividend and which in all human probability never will pay one are quoted from 50 to par and above, while stocks on which dividends are being paid are selling at from 20 to 50 and thereabout Stocks which are earning dividends are not receiving them, and the opposite Is true in several notorious instances. The gambling public buys stocks which it knows are worth no more than the paper on which the certificates are printed in the hope and belief that greater fools will take the contract off their bands at higher prices. It is as if I should buy of you, Judge Sawyer, a gold brick, knowing it to be a gold brick, in the hope and full expectation of selling it to our friend Jenkins for more than I paid for it." "You couldn't sell me no gold brick," declared the indignant Jenkins.

"I was on to that game years ago." "Certainly you were." admitted Colonel Monroe, "but men as wise as you have invested In paper purporting to be worth $100 a share and have paid over their hard earned money to the agents of millionaires who were willing to lend their names to a flagrant and palpable fraud. There are billions of this worthless stuff for sale, and the men who are responsible for its issue pose as law abiding citizens. Stripped of all technical terms, the attempt to foist this stuff on the investing pubhc is meditated robbery, pure and simple." "The speculative mania certainly is on the increase," remarked Judge Sawyer. "We are gambling on a magnificent scale," reflected Colonel Monroe. "Monte Carlo is a cheap resort, compared to Wall street or Saratoga.

In the latter we see more than a hundred betting commissioners, called bookmakers, paying to the owners of the race track a sum exceeding $10,000 a day for the privilege of supervising the gambling on horse races. This is only a small item in the total expense of running horses at one There are thousands of employees, and each of tne bookmakers has a staff of clerics, bookkeepers and rumen. Gambling on the speed of horses has developed into vast business in wTafeh millions of dollars are Invested. Nearly every dollar of the huge expense of conducting these enterprisesw a ftoai the deluded men and women who bet on the races. Legalized gambling is the most profitable business on earth, and market speculation and horse racing are the only forms not under the ban.

As a rule, the wealthy horse owner is prominently identified with Wall street The connection between the two professions Is not accident These jxxen have discovered that the surest way to wealth is by catering to that common instinct which leads most toriskmore than they can afford in a gambling transaction. than who bets on the races should realize that he is called on to support in comfort or, luxury an army of horse owners, bookmakers, trainers and others who make their living on the race tracks! The man who bets pays 90 per cent of all these bills. In the same way and for the same reason the men and women who dabble in stocks or in grain, cotton and other mediums of speculation pay all of the expenses and pile up all of the profits which pour into pockets of the owners of the The commissions wrung from those who put up margins on stocks and the losses sustained by thgLt 8 DEFECTIVE PAGE public nniHd fn have pai for hundred palatia office buildings which are massed around the new Stock Exchange. The commissions on the pretended purchase and sale of stocks, tne 'rake which goes into the is sufficient to have made hundreds of men more than millionaires. You pick up your paper and read that the sale of stocks on I a' certain day a total, of 1,000,000 shares.

Do you know what that means? It menusrthat $250,000 has been paid over to stockbrokers as the commission for one day's gambling. This is only one-item. The Interest charges will amount to $150,000 more. Then there are the dealings in bonds, grain, eotton. mines, coffee and other systems of tempting fortune.

In addition to New York there are similar exchanges in Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, Pittsburg, St Louis, San Francisco and smaller ones elsewhere. Bucket shops struggle for the patronage of those who cannot rake or scrape enough together to play against the regular game. It is conservative to estimate that the American gambling public pays over to brokers'and other agents of a legalized speculation a sum of money exceeding $1,000,000 a day, or more than $300,000,600 during a year." "It seems almost incredible," exclaimed Judge Sawder. "It is hot when you pause to study the facts." continued the colonel. 'There are employed in and around Wall street not fewer than 90.000 men andirwomen.

Those who gamble in stocks pay all of the wages of this vast army. They also pay the rental of the offices. They pay for millions of telegrams and cable messages. They pay for stationery, advertising, insurance, taxes and other items. They pile up Incomes for the brokers ranging from $10,000 to $250,000 a year.

They pay for automobiles, opera boxes, country estates, steam yachts, polo ponies, golf links, Parisian gowns and the ten thousand luxuries and excesses at the command of money easily obtained. Three hundred millions is a vast sum of money, but it is not in excess of the amount levied against the public and diverted to those who profit by the gambling instincts which have been cultivated in our people." "What remedy do you suggest?" asked Judge Sawyer. "It seems to me that most persons of influence do not look on speculation as a serious menace either financially or morally." "They do not," agreed Colonel Monroe. "Most persons of influence, as you characterize likely to be lenient with any system or institution which taps the money supply of that great mass which seems to have as little sense as it does influence. Stock gambling will be suppressed when it ceases to be esteemed respectable by those who have influence, and that will be when they realize that they are losing money by it directly or indirectly.

That day is not far distant. Wall street developed from its original function, which was to facilitate the legitimate purchase and sale of stocks and into a vortex of speculative gambling. It is now in process of change into a new and more dangerous form, that of conspiracies for the establishment of fictitious values. Under bur system of money and of banking the success of one of these criminal plots may result in widespread disaster. When this happens, and it will happen, there will be a movement against the gamblers and conspirators which will forever put an end to a system which is now looked upon with complacent curiosity by millions of well to do American citizens who neither gamble nor profit by gambling." "I think that Amalgamated Whalebone common Is a good purchase now," said Postmaster Jenkins.

"Don't yon colonel? It can't go any lower. Do yon think so, colonel?" "How low is asked Colonel Monroe. I a down to 21 and pays a 4 per cent dividend." declared Jenkins. "It surety cannot go any tower." easily go 21 points tower," responded Colonel. Monroe.

NE VACCIN FOUND Dr. Charles Benm, of Chicago Health Bureau, Hakes Discovery.

Lymph Mixed with Chloroform law of Glyeerla Avoids Manx Favlta of Old Try Other Experiments. Dr. Charles W. Behm, of the ChicagQ health department has discovered anew vaccine, superior many respects to that now used by physicians. He is not entirelysatisfied with tyeresul tsobtained and is continuing "his experiment to secure a virus which.will have none of the objections made to the vaccine now used.

Many investigations have been made by recognised physicians all over the country, but none of them has discovered a perfectly satisfactory vaccine. One of the chief objections to the vaccine now used is the long time necessary for its application. It often takes 34 and 40 minutes to inoculate a persoa with the virus because of the glycerin with which it is mixed. This disadvantage is obviated by the results obtained by Dr. Behm.

Instead of mixing lymph with glycerin in order to secure a virus he hat discovered that chloroform will accomplish the same result. Dr. Behm has ascertained that thai chloroform kills all germs in the lymph except those desired for inoculation in the same manner as glycerin. With the chloroform vaccine it is possible to apply it in much less time and the patient is not compelled to wait with his sleeve rolled up for half an hour. Dr.

Behm thinks that the chloroform evaporates too rapidly and is attempting to secure a solution which will disappear In about the same time it would take water to beabsorbed. He has been carrying on his experiments for a number of years and will continue them for some time. After finishing his experiments with chloroform Dr. Behm commenced to vestigate with prusslc acid. The investigation with this solution has not progressed very far and it is impossible tov predict what result will be obtained.

Dr. Behm has experimented enough with the salts of prussic acid to learnt that the solution will kill all germs in thai lymph with the exception of the germs which are desired. If this does not prova to be the solution which will produces) satisfactory virus. Dr. Bphm will continue his experiments with other solutions.

With a vaccine having no objectionable features Itis thought that thehealth officials will have less difficulty securing the vaccination of children below the school age. Over 35 nprcent. of the deaths from smallpox in Chicago this years have resulted from the failure ot parents to Inoculate their children before: they were six years of age. "Th Ma in he York Times..
