written by Robert Sidney and is an
exceedingly laughable conceit. each
OF the four acts bristling with qualities
that combine to make a great and
lasting success. The development of
the plot is of unusual strength and is
so full of surprises, intensity of action
and ludicrous mirth provoking situa-

appreciated The stage effects are of
very unique character Mr.. Wilson
sings number of new songs and they
have been pronounced gems of melody.

MEETS ACCIDENTAL DEATH.
Ole Gjetle of Canoe Township Killed by
Wagon Load of Lumber Falling
on Him.

Ole Gjetle, well known farmer of
Canoe township, came to an untimely
death on Saturday evening while
driving home from Decorah. He has
been building a home for himself and
family, and came to Decorah Saturday
for load of lumber, departing for his
home about six O'Clock. When within
about two miles of the hill going down
towards his home, it appears that the
tongue OF his wagon broke and when
he arrived just at the top of this hill
the wagon tipped over and he was
buried beneath the load and killed.
This must have happened about eight
O'Clock Saturday night and he was
not discovered until about one O'Clock
the next afternoon when his son who.
was out hunting for him found the.
lumber and him beneath it. Coroner
Jewell was called and summoned jury
consisting Of LsRasmussen B. Antler-
son and Lars Anderson who after
investigating the matter brought in a
verdict of accidental DEATH
Mr.. Gjetle was well known in De-
corah and in the vicinity in which he
lived. He was forty years of age and
leaves a wife and seven children to
mourn his loss. The funeral services
will be held tomorrow.

CITY ELECTION MONDAY.
W. F. Baker Only Old Alderman Re-
Elected. Electric Franchise Carries
With Majority of 2SI.

The inclement weather of Monday
did not dampen in any degree the
interest taken in the municipal
election. While there was only one
Office, that of alderman in each of the
wards, to be voted for, there were
contests in all of them except the first,
and in each ward the voting of the
electric franchise to the Upper Iowa
Power Co. We were especially in
tersted in the franchise election, fol
we believed it meant much for the city
of Decorah, and had been grossly
misrepresented and misunderstood by
those opposing it. 1t is an enterprise
that brings large investment here,
employees local labor, costs the city not
cent, but rather saves it hundreds OF
dollars, and provides lake and sum.
mer resort feature that cannot help to
become widely known, and attract
tourists with money here from hun.
dreds of miles away. We think il
an opportunity for Decorah such as
she has never had, and to have turned
the cold shoulder upon it would have
been disgrace to our fair city. We
are therefore especially gratified that
it has received the magnificent indorse
ment of more than twice the
majority it received in the special
election last summer, or 2Sl votes, and
the new city council is thereby in
structed to issue a franchise for this
company.
In the different wards, the contests
for aldermen We're quite interesting
and in some cases close.

Choral Union Concert.

A large audience braved the severe
weather of last Wednesday evening
and made the trip to the Luther
College auditorium to hear the first
concert of the Dceorah Choral Union.
While they expected "a fine concert,
they had no idea that such degree Of
excellence could be attained in so short
a time. From any point of view the
concert was a real musical treat, and
was thoroughly enjoyed by all who
were present.
Miss Emma Theoline Loe captivated
the audience with several splendidly
rendered solos which brought out
hearty applause.
The Luther College Band, appearing
in their fine new uniforms, presented
a concert of numbers far excelling any
thing we have ever heard attempted
by college band and winning new
laurels for themselves. We are
certainly proud of this band, and we
ought to be. In a short time Prof.
Sperati has accomplished wonders with
them. With about fifty-five pieces,
many of them quite young, he has
developed an organization strong
enough to grace any platform. for their
music is surprisingly well selected and
rendered. The Choral Union made its
first appearance, and like the band,
surprised the audience with their beau
tiful music. A hundred voices blend
ing in melody and almost perfect
rythm, obedient to the baton of Prof.
Sperati, giving several numbers from
oratorios, and eliciting hearty ap-
plaudits from the audience. The
concert was grand success, and
Prof. Sperati is to be congratulated
upon what he has accomplished in sc
short a time.

4 DeplOrabIe Accident.

Last Saturday forenoon a horrible
accident befell Peter Anderson that
will cripple him for the rest of his
life. His home is beside the track
near the water tank of the railroad
company and about eleven O'Clock as
the /. & ID. train pulled out of the
yard Peter boarded the smoker to ride
up the yard to save walking all the
way home. The train had gained
such headway when he got off that he
was thrown to the ground on alighting-
from the train and the cars crushed
one leg so that it had to be amputated
just above the ankle. 1t is indeed
pitiable. AS he is man pretty well
along in years it will probably go
hard with him. .-Calmar Courier.

as fat as seals and lively as crickets.
How astonishingly tame the frisky
fellows are. They trip down the trees
and firt with you as with time
tried friend and as they run by your
side they would best you in an
attempt, to pick them up. They have
lodged cats and dogs so long and sue.

seems to have merged into the gift for
a speedy retreat. The squirrels are all

joint debates, to be held in each con-
gressional district in the state, during
the coming campaign for the republic
an nomination for governor. The
challenge was sent the governor Thurs
day. When asked if he should accept
the challenge Gov. Cummins replied
II think it may safely be assumed
that shall not refuse it. 1T is under

two meetings in each district and they
will be held in the largest cities and
large crowds are expected.

GOOD FARMERS GOING AWAY.

Hundreds of good farmers of Iowa
are removing to Canada, where they
have bought or expect to buy cheap
lands, says the Des Moines Capital.
They have made money in Iowa and
are going away we'll fixed financially.
From southwestern Iowa they are re-
moving by train loads. They are
taking immense quantities of house,
hold goods with them. These facts
are not surprising. Men who have
made their money in a new country
always have longing for newer
country. They remember the old days
with the greatest affection. They
want to once more live on the prairie
and assist in surveying the roads.
They want to plan things from the be-
ginning once more. Once pioneer,
always a pioneer. Old men who have
grown rich in Iowa, men who are
too old to go anywhere else, will sit
by the fireside and talk of the good
old days. They will tell about the
fish that used to be in the streams and
the game that used to be on the
prairies. Their sons and grandsons
have heard these stories and they want
to have some such experiences. The
women and girls are also eager to go.
The spirit..of adventure was born in
them as well. Canada will gain a
splendid citizenship at our expense.
Those who remain behind in the
neighborhoods from whence these
people have gone will experience a
lonesomeness and discomfort. They
will wonder what is to become of Iowa
and they shall be surprised if the state
shall continue TO be great These
blue feelings will not be unnatural.
Many of their loved ones have gone
to the great north country, possibly
never TO return. In 1882 Iowa had
this experience before. Thousands Of
our best farmers removed to the Da-
kotas taking large volumes of personal
property with them. ' Some of them
prospered, but a majority of them
suffered untold hardsl ips. Crops failed
year after year the surplus was exha-
usted and privations untold came upon
them. But Iowa moved on, steadily
on. Iowa soil in itself is fortune,
and thousands may remove to the
newer west, but our state will continue
to grow in wealth and influence. The
people of Iowa will send their best
wishes after these departing citizens
and hope for their success, their
health and happiness. But they are
making a mistake in leaving Iowa.
