Here Is Frank KIickIer, "the

There were several indignation meet
ings in secaucus, n. j.. to-day. in which
several hundred young women. spinsters
Of uncertain age. and widows-they are
always young-complained bitterly that
fate had deprived them OF a chance OF
a lifetime to win the handsomest man
in Secaucus at a rattle. and for only 8
cents chance.
What angered the women still more
was that they had paid the admission
fee to this rattle, feeiing fully justified
in this extravaganza after reading this
placard pasted up in various prominent
places In and about their native village:
{: MR. FRANK KLICKLER.

Finally he hit upon the brilliant idea
Of offering himself as a prize at a rattle.
and he went to a printer and had a
hundred placards like the above printed
He pasted them up on trees, on fences,
in the road-houses and hotels and other
conspicuous places. He also had 600 hun
dred tickets printed. Hanging a p,acard
around his neck, he stood In the streets
and sold tickets for his rattle. In one
day, 1t is said. that he sold 200. Then.
according to his story. the village swains
became jealous and began playing all
kinds of jokes on him. He was sent to
some OF the nelghborlng farmers, who.
he was told. had several daughters who
wanted to buy a half dozen chances
each. All these young women. however
were engaged, and when their fiances
finished with Mr.. Klckler 1t was doubt
ful IL he could justify the statement in
his placards as to his beauty. Then the
proprietor Of the Washington Hotel told
him that no man rattle would be allowed
in his place, despite the protests of the
200 purchasers OF the tickets to the rattle

passed down the main thoroughfare OF

OUR ENTERTAINMENT &C. .
TOBER 18TH. :

Mr.. Eldredge presents widely
varied, artistic and popular roper
toire of costumed interpretations Of q
high order, changing quickly from
humorous to pathetic and from dra-
matte to sentimental representations
A year ago the American Lyceum
took charge of Mr.. Gilbert A. Ell
dredge's business. Up to that time
we have heard many complimentary
things of his work, but these re-
ports have come to us largely in the
nature of heresay and so were nee
essrlly somewhat vague and uncer-
tain. 1t is our privilege and pleas
ure to announce to our patrons that
while at the beginning Mr.. Edredge
WAS something of an experiment, he
stands today one of the most pract-
ically certain attractions on the
platform. During the last year he
has filled more than one hundred
engagements, and we have yet to
hear of an adverse criticism. MIR.
Eldredge is in line with the tendency
of his time and is ever on tie alert
to meet the demand of the public
for generous, clean and Thoroughly
satisfying amusements. His line Of
work reaches all cases, FROM those
VINO like the subtle hunaer d gQod
old "David Harum" to the tragedy
of ''Julius Caesar. We bespeak
for him that degree of consideration
which we know his merits deserve,
and commend him to our patrons
with that dergee Of confidence BY
which we hope to- increase and
hold the larger share of lyceum bus
mess. The American Lyceum
Union. At the Congregational
Church.

A GOOD GAME.

Saturday morning a foot ball
squad arrived here form Rock
Rapids. They met our boys at the
Fair Grounds in the afternoon. at
two O'Clock. Rock Rapids kicked
off with the wind but made a poor
kick. Worthingon steadily rushed
the ball down the field but Rock
Rapids held on their Is yard line.
The ball then went back and forth
but was at Last carried over by Nc
Keever. The ball was punted out
but it was not good kick and as
q result no goal was secured. Score
5 to 0 in favor Of Worthington.
Worthintgon then kicked of to
Rock Rapids and after short time
they broke through and ran about
60 yards for q touchdown. Ramage
at safety slipped on account Of the
mud and was unable to tackle.
Rock Rapids kicked goal, score 6 to s
in Rock Rapids favor. The first
half was cut short minutes and
the second started after about a min
utes rest. This was done because
Rock Rapids had to leave at 1888.
The second half was Is minutes
long and Rock Rapids started off by
kicking to Worthintgon. Most Of
the playing this half was in Worth
ington's territory but they had the
ball most of the time. BY line
bucks and end runs the ball was
pushed slowly but surely toward
Rock Rapids goal. Ramage then got
around the end and run about IS
yards for touchdown. Goal was
not kicked. Scoress10 6 to In favor
of Wortnangton. The last touch
down was made when only 80 sec-.
onds of time remained thus showing
how we'll it is to keep on fighting
and not become discouraged. The
crowd at the game was fairly good
considering the conditions of the
weather and muddy roads. The boys
went behind about $40 but will
make it up on some other game as
the expenses of Rock Rapids are
quite heavy. r. -. .!ssz
No game has been announced for
next Saturday but let us hope a
large crowd will turn out to the
next one. ',s" "&t% =. >>@s5, ~

REICKHOFF WORSE.
Charles R. Riecknoff, who caused
considerable excitement here last
spring by going insane, and jumping
through a second story window at
Hotel Slade and escaping from bis
watchers, has again had somewhat
similar attack tho in much less vi
olent form. A telephone message
from Leota last Sunday brought the
information that he was at the Koo-

sister, Miss Emily Rieckhoff, who
was With him asked aid of Adrian

master: Mckenzie and G. M. Thomp-
son drove up Monday morning.
Mr.. tThAmpson remained with him
and IN McKenzie returned for DR..
Tomlinson, the insanity expert from
st. Peter, who had been telegraphed
for. DR.. Tomlinson was taken to
Leota Tuesday morning and started
from EdgertoD the same day With
the patient. With them went Miss
Reickof, Wm. Reickoff, q brother
from Orange City, and Mr.. Thomp-
son to help care for the unfortunate
man. He will be taken at once to
the Dewey sanitarium at Milwaukee
where he was sent after his former
attack, and from which he was dis
charged a couple Of months ago as
cured. Those who have seen him
since the last attack say that he is
not in the least violent and that he
went willingly with the doctor
Rowing that he was returning to
the sanitarium for further treat
ment. Tie case is a very sad one
and it is to be hoped that the tend
ency to such attacks will gradually
disappear as his general health i'm
proves. 60 uardian, Adrian.

A PLEASANT RECEPTION.

A puplic reception was rendered
Prof. Nicholas, Supt. and corps of
teachers of schools Of our village in
Maccabee Hall, Saturday evening.
The movment was joined and par
ticipated in by all Of the churches
of our village, which made it most
pleasant affair affording all an op-
portunity Of meeting the teachers,
formally, but some were unable to
on account Of some OF the guests
apparently thinking it was their
duty to entertain the teachers and
kept them engaged to such an ex-
tent that it was necessary to elbpow
ones way and step on the ladies
skirts to to get within speaking dis
lance of the guests of honor. During
the evening there was vocal and
instrumental music rendered, which
was fine but we fear not fully appre-
ciated as so many appeared to pre-
fer to spend the short time available
in social conversation with the
teachers and friends than listening
to the music. Refreshments were
served and the evening was very
enjoyable and profitable one. We
believe any occasion that will bring
teacher and parent together as
much as possible will result in
much benefit to the school, as they
will be better enabled to understand
each others ideas and desires, and
the best method for giving each pu-
pill the greatest possible ASSISTANCE
in some particular way, particularly
adapted to that pupil. Occasions
like Saturday evening cannot be
too frequent.

himself. In the fifth Prendergast grew
generous, allowing Frisbie and c. Clement
to make the circuit. Then In the sixth
Creighton made its share OF runs. Lanigan
and Welch singled and E. A. Creighton. hit
the ball so hard and so far that before
over the fence the three men had scored.
In the same inning Yankton evened up
things by making three runs. With the
score Z to Z the game rested until the last
OF the ninth, when Prendergast hit and
scored Lynch. winning the game.

The Angels took the second Of the series
yesterday afternoon by q score Of 8 to 1.

though all Of Pas boys were supplied with
bats they took only four hits of Kenna.
He is a nice boy, 90 sweet and cunning in
his movements. He learned to pitch out of

body as this child Ia can keep out of a dime

of the Rourhtes. 1t seems hard to have a
mere child worry your batting average in
that way.
The Angels started out to do things in
the FIRST inning and yO'Neil got to nrst
while Companion was trying to untangle
himself from a little punt. Then he stole
second and Mcvickers went out at irst.
ockman was up next and the way he hit
the ball was a sad thing, for It went way
out in right field and didn't come home
until he had waded around three sides of
the diamond. Then Thornton drew a sim
gle and there were two runs for the Angels.
But that was all for them that inning.
In the third Thomas started out with a
rapping single. Companion took compass
sion on Thomas and sacrificed him on a
base. Then Carter got ohesty n banged
the ball out 70 the rushes and Thomas
scored. That was all of its scoring, how
ever.

Being much more compact in fibre than the

such wear, any impression or decorative ef-
