NEBEL.-In this city, May 4, 1900, to Nj
and Mrs. Walter Nobel, a son.
DIED.

DIED.
MIoHAEL.-A At his home in this city, May
8, 1900, Of neuralgia of the heart, Alfred
4. Michael, aged 62 years, 10 months
and 26 days.
The news of the sudden death of
Mr.. Michael Tuesday afternoon at 8
o'clock caused feeling of profound sur
prise and grief in the community, as he
was at his Office at the central attending
to the duties of the telephone exchange
until about two hours before he was
stricken in death.
His long residence in this city and his
activity in business and public life had
made him familiar parsonage to the
people of this community and to most of
the people of the county. Mr.. Michael
was distinguished example of "the
noblest work of God" His honesty of
purpose and his integrity of action were
meyer questioned Trusted in business
and in Office, he betrayed no confidence.
A man of just character and upright con-
duct, esteemed by all his acquaintance,
beloved by many who were favored by
his friendship, is gone; busy and useful
life abruptly terminated, and we mourn
in sincere grief his sudden removal from
the place of vantage he occupied in our
midst and whose genial presence and
courteous demeanor was pleasing and
familiar fellowship.
Alfred E. Michael was born at Berrien
Center, Michigan, June II, 1887. He
came to this county with his brother
Henry in 1855. April 10, 1859, he mar
red Miss Margaret Hartsell in Michigan.
BY this wife he had seven children, four
boys and three girls, who are all living
Mrs. Agnes Leavitt of Point Douglas,
Minp.; Minor Michael of Swan River,
Mimi; Mrs. Jenny Peters of st. Louis,
Mo; Mrs. Cora Pfeger of Saltwater,
Mimi; Irwin Michael, of the state of
Oregon; Carey Michael, a soldier in the
army in the Philippines, and Charlie
Michael, present residence unknown.
In 1879 he moved from Ellsworth to Riv-
er Falls and married Miss Kate Daily Au-
gust Il, 1857.
BY his last wife, who survives him, he
had one child, Harry A. Michael, living
with his mother. Mr.. Michael was
prominent in business circles, both here
and at Ellsworth. He was a contractor
and builder by trade and conducted a
lumber yard at Ellsworth for a time and
also in this city where he was associated
in business with F. M. Ulrich. He was
an active aud influential member of the
Odd Fellows society, was supervisor of
second ward of this city for several years,
chairman of the county board at the time
of his death, and president of the Pierce
County Telephone Company.
The funeral was held from his late
residence at half past three o'clock last
Thursday afternoon under the direction
of the Odd Fellows of this city. The re-
ligious exercises were conducted by Rev.
I. ]. Snodgrass, assisted by Rev. C. H.
Mcintosh.

HIGH SCHOOL DECLAMA-
TORY CONTEST.
An Unqualified Success.

1t was a delighted audience that
filed the main audience room OF the
M. E. church last Friday evening,
listening to the speakers in the local
high school contest. 1t is safe TO say
that very few of those who went TO
the church that evening expected to
hear such good speaking or SO much
OF it. The programme, from the
first mum Der to the last, was rendered
in manner that was at once surpris-
ing and gratifying to the friends of
the speakers. Not a speaker forgot.
Considering the fact that most OF the
speakers had never appeared before
an audience before, and none of them
in a contest of this kind, they were
all remarkably easy and collected up
on the platform. All were strong in
interpretatio of their pieces, in ex-
preston and in action. Where all
were so good, it would be invidious to
draw Comparisons. OF course some
were better than others, and some
one was best, and when the judges
rendered their decision giving Robert
Reed first place, the audience, by
their vigorous applause, showed their
delight at the decision. The an
nouncement of the awarding Of second
place to Lyman Weld was also greet
ed with applause. The two boys
did remarkably well, and will be
worthy representatives. of the school
in the coming district contest. The
community has reason to be proud OF
a school that can furnish such a con
test, and the teachers who had the
training OF the contestants, have
every reason to be satisfied with theii
efforts, and are deserving of much
praise for the work which has brought
out such results.
