A Crowded and Enthusiastic Audience

of American patriotism might have
found few pointers at the court
house last Friday afternoon. IF
they had come late, the croakers
would have bad little chance to sit
and mediate for standing room
only" was the condition of the hall
before the people settled down to
listen to the school children, who
marched from the school house TO
the hall soon after twoo' clock. Rev.
/. F. Badger made the opening in
vocation and Supt. Jones explained
the purpose of the exercises, after
which Amy Barnes and Clyde
Crooks sang My Own United
States. \ Two of the juvenile exer-
cises prepared by the teachers
created unqualified enthusiasm on
the part of the audience. One of
these was the Ratchet drill by two
score boys and girls from to 10
years of age, all dressed in CONT
mental costumes and armed with
hatchets of cardboard in American
colors. These marched to music in
an almost bewildering series Of
figures, mimicking the stately grace
and elaborate obeisances that pre-
vailed prior to the revolutionary
period The audience clamored for
more, but the little people were
allowed to rest up while the pro
gram entforward. The ''dance of
We olden time by the Misses Cor
prom, Hunter, Hoffman and Temp
kins, four little maids from the kin
dergarten class, was another treat
The audience insisted on a recall,
and the little ladies paced the mazes
of the minuet a second time. There
were also patriotic recitations by
Lorena Tenney and Ernest Carpen-
ter, brief quotations from Lincoln
and Washington, by different class
es from the schools, and excellent
singing BY the high school chorus
of young ladies and by smaller
boys chorus, and the browning of
portraits Of Washington and Lin
coin with evergreen wreaths. The
singing of America concluded the
program.

Further Particulars Of the North0me
Fire Tragedy.

TIC Tag @AJs
a copy of the Northome Record
for Feb. Is reached here Monday
morning and contained an account
of the fire ia which Fred. w. Schu
macher, formerly of Redwood Falls
lost his life.
The fire was frsts discovered al
five o'clock Sunday morning, by DR..
Fairall, who occupied Office and
sleeping rooms in the Schumacher
building, who was aroused by an
alarm clock set to awaken him for
an early morning medical call. On
awakening hefound his room mass
of flames, made his escape in his
night robe, the fire through which
he passed smuggling his hair. He
aMoke the other inmates of the
building, including Mr.. and Mrs.
Schumacher, and all of them got out
OF the burning building in only
their night robes.
After reaching the bottom of the
stairs Mr.. Schumacher suddenly
made jump back into the flaming
building, apparently to save some
valuable papers. He was never
seen alive afterwards. and from the
position in which the charred re-
mains were found it is evident that
he had started for the window of the
living room, after securing the pa
pers, in an attempt to escape, but
was overcome by fire and smoke.
The funeral was held on the fol-
lowing Thursday afternoon, tempo
rary interment occurring at North
ONE, the remains to be transferred
later to Renville for final interment.
Mr.. Schumacher leaves a wife,
formerly Miss Louise M. Engelking,
whom he married in Renville coun-
ty four years agoa mother, now
Mrs. HIM of Springfield three
brothers and two sisters.
The deceased was born in Waseca
on June Is, 1876, and shortly after
wards his parents moved to Rem
vile county.
The property loss to Schumacher
& Emil in building and stock was
So, 900; toMrs. Schumacher in house

er losses.
Mrs. Schumacher will receive

band in the Modern Woodmen, and
about Sc. 500 as the sole surviving
heir of her husband, who was one of
the many heirs of the late John
of San Francisco, who
died leaving an estate valued at
nearly 5000, 600. II. f. Buechner is
now in San Francisco, receiving the
requests from the executors as fast
as the property can be converted in
to cash, and has already sent spec
ial or excess requests of 1000
each to the sisters OF the deceased,
them being Mrs. Buechner,
and Mrs. Timm, who are to receive
about $10,5 800 each in total, and
81 900 to Miss Anna Buechner, who
will receive as much as the Schu-
maeher children, who, in addition to
their own, divide what would have
gone to their father had ne been
