Appeals to Young and Old.

"Yon Yonson" Is play which ap
peals equally to both young and old
and at the same time to all of either
sex or any race, creed, color or religion
There is nothing to offend even the
most captious. 1t was intended by
the late Gus Heege for enjoyment, fol
entertainment, to drive dull care
away, while at the same time it points
a moral. 1t let's virtue triumph over
vice and does it all in such delight
full way, such liberal doses of true
comedy that it seems destined like
Tennyson's "bobbling brook" to go on
forever. While the play in itself is a
treat. it is no more so than the splen-
did company provided by Thall>&
Kennedy, or the magnificent scenic
investiture provided with their money
and under their immediate supervision.
In this company are such popular and
effective players as Knute Erickson,
Annie Mack-Berlein, Beatrice Nor
man, George Bryton, Belle Gold, e.
Guy Spangler, Sydney Craven, E. j..
Mack, Clinton Maynard, Harry Hub.

bermen's Quartette with. t. cir per-
fectly blended voices must not be over

THE ANGEL OF DEATH
VISITS SOME OF OUR HOMES.
Mrs. Geo. Headington and Charles
McMullen Pass to Their Eternal
Home This Week.
MRS. GEO. HEADINGTON.

1t has been a long time since there
has been death in this county which
has caused more general sorrow and
deeper sympathy for the bereayed
family than that of Mrs. George
Headington, who passed to her reward
on Monday morning at 2:45 o'clock,
death resulting from a cancer. Mrs.
Headington had always been strong,
healthy woman, and her death comes
as surprise to the most Of her ac-
quaintances. A few months ago she
began to feel poorly, and five weeks
ago she was taken to Rochester, MINI,
to consult the hospital physicians, who
were compelled to give her the sad in
formation that her case was inoper-
able, and she returned to Decorah and
entered DR.. Swezey's private hospital,
for X-ray treatment, but became con-
fined to her he'd and was unable to re-
ceive treatment. She was taken to
her home near this city a week ago.
and on Monday morning passed away.
Mrs. Eva Headington was AZ years
and 25 days old, was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin Richardson,
and was born Jan. 80, 1850, in Canoe
township, Winnesheik county, where
her life was spent. In March, 1879
she was married to George Allen
Headington, by whom she had ten
children, the eldest %, the youngest
years of age.
The loss of this sweet, lovable char
acter, whose many charming graces
and acts of kindness will always be
remembered by friends and neighbors,
will be deeply felt by the community.
Having reared large family, she
knew best how to deal with human
nature and hei life is an open book of
kindness and love. 1t can be truly
said of her that she was the friend of
everyone she knew, and her home was
always,a welcome place for the visitor.
Besides an acquaintance extending
over almost the entire county and
large number Of relatives, she leaves to
mourn her untimely death a loving
husband and ten children, father,
mother, seven brothers aud sisters,
who have the heartfeltsympaihy ofall. /
The funeral services will he Leld this
Wednesday afternoon from. the home
north of the city, Rev. DR.. M. WiIletr
officiating, with interment in the Rus
sell cemetery.

HERB. MATTESON. ARRESTED AGAIN
His Embezzlements Now Reach SI78,
900, and Extend Over
Three Years.

Decorah friends of the Matteson
family were again grieved to read the
dispatches last week disclosing the
claim of an additional embczzlement
of $s5, 900 by Herb. Matteson, of Great
Falls, Mont. Following is the dis
patch giving the facts as learned:
Helena, Mont, Feb. 19. A special to
the Independent from Great Falls,
Mont, says that III. FL. Matteson, who
on January 5, confessed to embezzling
$75 900 from the First National bank
while acting as cashier, is now alleged
to have taken $l7S, 900, his operations
extending over period of three years.
The statement was made at a meeting
of the bank directors yesterday and an
other complaint was sworn out against
Matteson, who was out on S., 600 BAIL
He was taken before commissioner
and his bail fixed at $l5, 900, the new
charge being that he embezzled $S5, 900
on October 20.
last night. He could not furnish the
new bond and he probably will be
taken to Helena and lodged in Jail.
National Bank Examiner LaZar
states that if Matteson should get bail
on the second charge he will be at once
arrested on charge of embezzling $751;
600. The bank officers became con-
vinced that Matteson was preparing to
leave, and that was the principal rea-
son for securing his arrest on a second
charge and having the bail increased
1t now developed that the embezzl-
ments began in December, 1898.

ON fast trains running between
Chicago and St. Paul and Minneapolis
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul
Road is now using new electric head
light, which, it il claimed, will make
headend collisions practically imros-
ible. The distinctive feature Of the
light isa vertical ray which streams into
the heavens and heralds' the approach
of train when it is from one tn ten
miles away, depending upon the topo-
graphy of the country. Several dem
onstrations of the effectiveness of the
light have been made at Morton Grove,
where railroad officials from all parts
of the country have watched No. 6
come over the hill five miles away and
pass in blaze of light. In looking
ahead an engineer would see the verti-
cal rays of the headlight, as the curve
of the horizon brings 1t on a level with
his eyes. The new light also makes
signal lights show palmer instead of
obscuriDg them as some electric head
lights do.
