oe"nu3 "Cic Wtll '0tluucu QUO evening
last week on the anniversary of their
tenth wedding day. Jerry's many friends
could not let this mile stone pass without
an inscription of kind wishes and
friendly esteem being written upon it
in letters so plain that the passing years
could never efface it. Many useful
tokens of tinwarc were left behind by this
company of merry friends. and as the
midnight hour approached, the departing
guests felt that their evening had been
an enjoyable one.
The Third Ward had little excite.
ment Tuesday of last week, in the sud-
den disappearance of Dederich Rubberet,
the father of tue wife Of Jim Scagel. In
the afternoon and evening of Tuesday
almost the entire neighborhood turned
out to search for him, but no trace of the
missing man could be found. On Wed
nesday noon, however, the mystery was
solved, Rubberot returning on the train
from the north. 1t seems that Tuesday
morning he fell in with some Germans
at the depot, and took passage with them
on the first train, going with them but
short distance, returning the next day.
Mr. w. w. Cook, of the choir at Uni
ty church, has secured the services of a
young tenor singer, whs arrived in ST.
Paul yesterday to assist him in his mus
ical duties. The new vocalist will, it is
thought, prove quite an acquisition to
the choir, as although he weighs but ten
pounds. he possesses a wonderful voice.
His name is W. w. Cook, Jr., and he
bids fair to excel his senior as a sweet
singer.-P i0neer.P Press, Aoril 80.
"Will" Cook will be remembered by
the earlier settlers of Austin, as the eldest
son of that good man, VIM. W. Cook, who
was called to his long home years ago.
He has been in the employ of the dry
goods house of Powers Brothers, st. Paul,
for several years. This branch Of the
Cook family always enjoyed musical tai
ents of high order, and Win is to be
congratulated upon this musical" addi-
ton to his family.

Group.
Cecilia, aged four, little daughter of G..
F. Radermacher, died Friday morning, it
is said of diphtheria.
Monday night, another little four year
old, son Of James Geraghty of this
city.
Three little collins, three little graves
three precious babes, all pure and sin
less as the angels, gone back to God who
gave them, and three desolate homes,
with the little garments all folded up and
laid away, the shoes half-worn beside
| them, and these parent hearts mourning
for these little ones that have gone out
from them with all their love and win
some brightness, to come back no more
| forever

are deserving of special praise. The
