Death of Prominent Citizen.

In our last issue we had barely time
to mention the death of Mr.. Gulbrand
%. Rustad, one of the oldest and best
known residents of this city, who
passed away Wednesday noon, just as
the paper went to press. He came to
this city at an early day, was promi-
nent member of the First Norwegian
Lutheran church, and in 1862 was
made Treasurer of the Synod, in which
position he continued to the entire
satisfaction of all connected with the
Synod until 1900, when becoming
feeble he requested to be relieved OF
its duties.
He was born in Valders, Norway.
Aug. 8. 1926, and in 1852 came TO
America, locating at Beloit, Wis. He
was married at Rock Prairie, Wis,
June 80, 1854. to Miss KJerste Sondrol.
coming tc Decorah April l5, 1856.
where his home has since been. His
wife and three children survive him.
The children are Mrs. H. NJ. Hanson,
Janesville, Wis.,; Mrs. Richard
Schrubbe. Decorah; and Andrew
Rustad of Hallock, MINI. The funeral
services were held on Sunday afternoon
at 2 80 O'Clock, from the First Luther
an church, Rev. /. B. Torrison officiat
ing.
OF the many who have spent their
lives in this city and been associated
with its material growth and progress,
few have been more highly honored
and esteemed than Mr.. Rustad. He
was man of uprightness and manly
character. living quietly within his
chosen circle, always doing those
things which tend toward the uplift-
ing and bettering of the community.

Ephraham Noble,
Mr.. jolly of Joliet" at Auditorium.

Few farces which come to the Audi
torium have been as deservedly popu-
lar as "Mr. jolly of Joliet" in which
Edward Garvie is the inimitable Mr..
jolly. The return of this attraction
to this house yesterday is a welcome
offering for Christmas week. Mr..
Garvie's good humor and willingness
at all times to please an audience has
preserved to Mr.. Jolly all the original
spirit and dash of the piece. He has
surrounded himself with q company
fully capable of playing up to his
lead. Songs and dances by Miss
Thompson, in character part. are a
feature of the attraction. Vivian
Cornell, Gertrude Fort. John Marble,
Frank Bryan and others are in the
cast. There is chorus of good voices.
"My Lady Moon,' as sung by Frank
Bryan and chorus, and "When Go
Upon the Stage" by Edward Garvie,
were easily the hits of the musical
numbers A special Christmas matt
noe will be given. Kansas City Star.

Buxton, Iowa. is solving the race
question in its own way. The town
is an unincorporated all black COM
munity. and claims larger popuia-
tion than any city in Monroe county,
says an exchange. Of it's twelve stores
ten are owned and conducted by
negroes. The departments of it's four
room school are presided over by negro
teachers. There arc two churches
Methodist and Baptist, and both have
colored preachers The only hotel in
town is kept by negro. The post
master and all of the local officers are
black men. The town is prosperous,
it's main business being digging coal.
The proprietor of the local bank is a
white man and it is learned that the
bank accounts of the negro miners
range in all sums up to $4,000. The
negroes are buying property, and one
miner has purchased eighty acres OF
coal land out of his earnings. The
town is handicapped by having four
saloons in its vicinity and by having
no municipal government. The
newspaper recently started states its
object is ''to encourage thrift
economy, and accumulation of wealth
combined with education. religion
and morality, among the Afro Ameri
cans' This is the best instance of {

The bull dog has less brain develop

has given lin his reputation. The
greyhound is heeter, the collie more
intelligent, the spaniel is superior
in affection, and almost any dog sur
passes him in beauty, but when he
takes hold he does not let 60. And
the youth who has something of the
