Fine Course of Entertainments.

Contracts have been closed by the
Epworth League for course of enter
tainments of high order in Decorah
this winter. The expense of securing
these entertainments, which are all
under the management of the Slayton
Lyceum Bureau, of Chicago, is con-
siderable, but the League hopes to in
troduce a course which will attract
large audiences. The first entertain
ment will be a concert, Saturday even
ing, Nov. 5tn, by the Ly4ic. Ladies, OF
Chicago, assisted by Miss Mary Louise
Cassidy, an elocutionist divide reputa-
ton. This quartette is one of the finest
touring, and is receiving generous COM
mendation wherever they sing.
On Dec. 1st, Mr.. S. M. Spedon, the
chalk-talk man will entertain the peo-
pie of this city by his cartoons and i'm
presentations. This will be novel en-
tertainment for Decorah, and we can
assure the public that they will be
pleased with an evening spent in wit
Messing his excellent work in this line.
The native Esquimaux lady, Miss
Olof Krarar, comes on Jan. 10th with
her lecture on "Greenland, or the
Frozen North" She is only three feet,
four inches in height, and weighs 100
pounds. Her descriptions of this
northern CLINE are intensely interest
ing.
The course will close on March 18th,
with Col. L. F. Copeland, in his lecture
on "Seeing the Elephant" He is a
lecturer of national reputation, and re-
ceives the highest of praise wherever
he speaks.
The price of the entire course has
been placed at the extremely low rate
of S1.25, or fifty cents for single tickets.

ANOTHER SOLDIER GONE.
Ole Evanson, of Calmar, the Second of
Winnesheik's Soldiers to
Pass Away.

The people of Calmar were shocked
last week Friday to learn of the death
of Ole Evanson; one of the soldier boys
who went out from that place and en-
listed in company I, 49th Iowa voiun-
teers. He was strong, healthy young
man, but the ravishes of that disease
that had claimed so many of his COM
rades-typhoid fever-wasted his life
away. He leaves as an only relative
an aged mother mourn his loss, but
the sympathies all of Calmar and
those who knew her son are with her.
The remains arrived in Calmar on
Monday, and the funeral services were
held at the Lutheran church at 80
o'clock, Rev.aKoren officiating, assisted
by Prof. Nassth, of Luther College,
comrades of tie G.. A. r., and a de-
tachment of the Sons of Veterans, of
this city. An immense crowd attended
the services and viewed the remains.

THE CUMMlNS MEETING.
A Large Audience Listen to an Excel.
lent Speech by Hon. A. B.
Cummins.

Steyer's opera house was well filled
with our townspeople and many from
all parts of the county on Monday
evening, having been attracted by the
announcement of an address on politi-
cal issues by Hon. A. B. Cummins, OF
Des Moines.
After music by "Luren" County
Chairman ]. J. Marsh nominated N.
Willett for chairman of the meeting.
He made brief speech and announc-
ed the speaker of the evening, who ad-
vanced to the front of the stage, and
delivered an address, which has been
seldom equaled in Decorah. Mr..
Cummins has pleasing address, a
voice of unusual clearness, and his
distinctness of speech was very notice
able. He first of all urged every one
having the right of franchise to vote;
then entered into a description of the
rise and defeat of the free coinage of
silver at 16 to l fallacy, and the result
of this defeat in commercial lines;
compared the prophesies of 16 to fol-
lowers to the result of the gold stand
ard policy; digested the Marshalltown
platform; praised President Mckinley
for his wisdom and conservative judg-
ment in the recent war; and urged the
necessity concerted action by all re-
publicans. The whole address was
given the closest attention by the
audience and enthusiastically applaud
ed at intervals. Mr.. Cummins is
speaker of rare ability and attainments
and will be welcomed in Decorah at
any time in the future The meeting
closed with a beautiful song by
"Luren."

A WORD to the parents of this town.
Have you the future welfare of your
Children at heart, and do you desire
them to become useful men and women
when they grow up? If SO, then why
permit them to be educated in the great
est school of voice, that of roasing the
public street oftown after night? Is not
home the proper place for your little
ones after dark, and are they not safer
under the eye of their parents there,
than on the public streets? Parents, stop
a moment and think of this. There are
too many children permitted to roam
the streets of town after dark.-Er.

Our Chinese Trade.

Owing to the form in which the re-
turns are compiled by the Chinese I'M
perial Customs, it is impossible to ac-
curately estimate the extent of the
present trade of the United States with
China, which as yet is merely nucleus
of what it may hereafter become.
These returns deal only with goods car
ried directly between America and
Chinese ports, Chinese goods trans
shipped at an English port being
shown as exports to England while
American goods thus reshipped appear
as imports from Britain or British col
onies. The net total value of imports
and exports in 1896 was 333, SOC, 900
Haikuan taeles less, ,76s 500 and the
total gross value EST ,274, 900 of which
America contributed s3,S5ODOO, Japan
GA, ,795, 900, European states Excluding
England) s4,5S5, 900, and Russia e.
s56, 900. Of the actual American share,
however, many items, as already indi-
cated-including cotton goods, oil,
flour, machinery, iron, lumber, ETC.
are set down to England and Hong
kong. The total for America, it has
been estimated, should more probably
be e6,O00,0OO than s3,S5O,OOO. Be-
tween them the United States and
England have considerably more than
IS per cent. of the foreign trade, while
Britain alone carries So per cent. of the
external trade with China, and pays
76 per cent. of the dues and duties levied
on that trade. 1t is thus clear what a
predominant stake England and the
United States have in the commerce Of
China. While the American import
trade from China has increased slowly,
the exports to that country have in
creased 126 per cent. in ten years, and
are more than so per cent. larger than
the German exports. The export of
cotton cloth in 1897 amounted to el,-
497 900, or nearly one-half the entire
value sent abroad by the United States;
that of kerosene is rapidly growing,
having already trebled in value in the
past ten years; the export of wheat
-four in 1897 was G67S, 900, and of chem
icals and dyes over 100000. The trade
generally is restricted to commodities
which would be hard to sell in any
market not under the conditions of
"equal trade" and almost certainly
impossible to dispose of in any market
controlled by Russia or France-a fea-
ture of the question deserving special
attention.-From Eastward Expan-
sion of the United States," by Archi-
bald r. Colquhoun, in Haper's Maga-
zine for November.

THE NEW GRAND.
Will Open Nov. 10th, with Digby Bell
in "The H00sier Doctor"

The New Grand will be ready for
occupancy on November 10Th, and on
that night it Will be opened by Digby
Bell and his high priced company in
the presentation of 1.-THE Hoosier Doc
tor" The night will be made a gala
occasion and the house will be opened
with short but appropriate ceremonies
occupying not more than half hour.
Mr. Oscar Cobb will be present and in
his inimitable way will make few re-
marks apropOs of the time and the oc-
casion. The music will be exception
ally fine and special program will be
rendered.
The New Grand Is medern opera
house. The old Grand was never
modern, even in its newest day.
There can be no definite comparison
between the two houses. They simply
are not in the same class.
"The Hoesier Doctor is one of the
quiet plays which will live because it
naturally presents actual life. 1t con-
tains no absurdities or unnatural
heroics. 1t illustrates the highest type
of American plays. 1t is never wild or
extravagant, but there is no suspension
of interest, the action never lags, the
story is clearly, cleverly told, and it is
story full of situations strong but al
ways natural and true to life. 1t is a
high-priced play presented by high
priced players, but it is well worth
what they ask for it. Do not fail to be
at the Grand on the opening night.
November 10. Sale of tickets will be
gin Thursday, Nov. 8, at ten o'clock,
at G. A. Neufert's.
