The Last Week Of Luther College Band Tour


Before this paper is printed the very
successful concert tour of the Luther
College Concert Band through Iowa,
Minnesota, the Dakotas and Montana
to the Coast will have been completed,
and the band be home. On the 2Sth OF
August they were at Olatta, beauti-
ful resort for campers on the Sound
near Spokane, Washington. After a
short concert and an interesting talk
by Rev. Harstad they repaired to the
Beach where boating, fishing and
swimming furnished plenty of amuse.
ment and recreation. The next day
they spent at Point Defiance Park and
had fine time. They have made it a
point to see as many cities as possible,
to note the spirited activity, and bust
ness, the street paving, buildings and
general improvements, and they have
found much rivalry between the coast
cities for supremacy, at times verging
on the ridiculous. On August 3lst
they began their homeward trip to
Tacoma via the Northern Pacific. Our
correspondent thinks that the scenery
of the Cascades is much inferior to
that on the Great Northern. Miss
Loe, the soloist, does not return with
the band. On the first inst. they gave a
concert at Rockford, Washington, and
Oh the End inst, at Caeur D'Alene, a
resort for Spokane people. The next
day they spent in seeing Spokane and
making preparations for the trip to
Helena, Montana at night.
On the Sd inst. they left Spokane
via the Northern Pacific, and passed
through the better part of the scenery
by daylight. They arrived at Helena,
Montana, the next afternoon and
heard a concert by the city band in
the evening On the 9TH, Mr.. A. M.
Hotter, Norwegian multi millionaire
of Helena, took them around the city
in special car to see the sights. Mr.
Hotter lived in Winneshiek county in
1856 and helped build the old Winnie
shiek House. Going to Montana in
the sixties, he amassed fortune in
mining, lumber and hardware bust
ness. The pioneers of this county
will probably remember him, to whom
he desires to extend his regards.
The city of Helena is apparently in
its decline, portions being vacated.
They went past the famous Last Chance
Gulch and Dry Gulch gold mines.
Other points of interest were the U.
S. assay Office, which handles over
81, 500, 900 in gold each year; federal
building, Fort Harrison and the state
capitol, where they were introduced
to Gov. Toole. On the morning OF
the 9th the boys climbed to the top
of Mt. Helena. 1t was great sight
to look down upon the surrounding
heights. Afterwards they had a
swim in the famed Broadwater
Natatorium, the largest swimming
pool in the world, $50 by $50 feet,
built at a cost of $4,000. and sup
piled with warm water from the
thermal springs but few hundred
feet away in the hills.
After leaving Helena they came
direct to st. Paul, and home over the
@. M. & st. p, arriving Saturday
afternoon.

us say, a box OF pineapples, bag of
rice or potatoes, to the Army, may rest
assured that the amount of actual
energy, to say nothing of moral and
philanthropic good, the Army will get
out of that gift for its benefciaries
will exceed fivefold anything the giver
might i'll person have attempted.

dates OF the festival If you have any
thing to give, and desire the officers to
call for your gift. ring up Blue 1881, or

TRIBUTE TO SEIZURE.
President Sent Letter to Chicago
Public Assemblage.

Services in memory of Carl SchurZ were
held in the Auditorium, at Chicago. yester-
day. before an audience which filled the
great hall. Mr.. Schurz was extolled as q
patriot. a statesman and man of moral
force. whose life had been benefit to the
country which was his and to that which
became his by adoption. William Woke
presided, and addresses were mad by Prof.
Benjamin Torrey of the University Of Chi

dent Edmund ]. James of the University

The following letter from Presldent
Roosevelt was read:
II wish / could be present at the meet
ing at which you are TO speak in honor
of the late Carl Schurz. AS this is impos-
sible permit me to express through you
nv appreciation OF the distinguished sery-
ices rendered to the country by him. To
him there befell the great good fortune
which befell all men who were able TO
play a part worth playing at the time of
the great crisis OF our government. He
was one OF those who, In the council
chamber, on the stump, and on the field
of battle, upheld the policies OF mighty
Abraham Lincoln. and he is remembered,
therefore, among the men who came 70
the front In one of the two heroic periods
of our government, at the time of its foun-
dalton and at the time of It's preserya-
ton He was able to prove his fealty to
a lofty idealism by the course he then
took. After the war he. was among the
most prominent champions OF civil service
reform and, later, of sound money; and in
addition to his services as public man
he rendered very real service to the cause
of American letters by his remarkable
little biography of Lincoln and his longer
biography of Henry Clay not 70 speak or

IL KILLED IN TROLLEY MISHAP,
Loaded Car Overturned at East Prov
idence, R. l., Yesterday.

Eleven persons are dead. a score seriously
and many others slightly injured as the re-
suit Of the overturn.ng of crowded electric
car at Moores Corner in East Providence.
r. l., early yesterday morning More than
100 young men and women. who had spent
the evening at Crescent Park, a pleasure
resort on the Providence river. six miles
below Providence. were on a chartered car
returning TO their homes.
The dead are: George Atcherson, twenty
years, Thornton; Edward f. Brennan, eigh-
teen years, Cranston, r. l.; Alice Franklin.
seventeen years. Thornton; Enrico Gam
boni, twenty-three years, Thornton; John
Gavin, twenty years. Providence: Angelo
German. thirty years. Thornton; Gustave
Guertin, twenty-five years. oIneyvilie; VIII
liam w. Luther. twenty-seven years. Provi-
dence; Bertha NJ. Kelly. eighteen years,
Thornton; John Schneider, nineteen years.
Olneyville. and Ethel Whitley, nineteen
years. Providence.
The wreck occurred on the suburban line
of the Rhode Island Company
The motorman in charge of the car w.
J. Laucher of Olneyville, although expe-
rienced In his calling, was unfamiliar with
the road, over which he was travelling for
the first time. Laucher was put In charge
of the car at the solicitation OF the pas
sengers members a Catholic society
which had been to Crescent Park for an
outing. The car, an open one of heavy
build, was crowded with young men and
women. Fog prevented a clear View of the
road ahead, and the motorman, unable to
see far ahead OF the car, and unaware OF
the sharp curve below, allowed the ca,
to coast rapidly down the hill. Suddenly
he felt the car swing into the curve, and
realizing the peril, applied the brakes and
reversed the power. The weight of a num-
Der of men on the running-board and the
momentum sufficed to deraii the ear and
throw it into the road, twenty feet from
the track.
Seven of the passengers were pinioned
beneath the car and instantly killed. Those
who were able began the work of rescue.
A large joist was utilized a lever q
pile of stones forming fulcrum.r and the
ear was raised from the ground just enough
TO permit the escape of its imprisoned pas
sengers. Two persons had succeeded IN
escaping. when the joist broke under tho
weight OF the car, and the heavy vehicle
fell back, killing two of the injured The
rescuers again raised the car from the
ground. and, by building a pile of heavy
stone, kept 1t in position while the dead and
injured were removed.
Two of those taken out, John Gavin and
George Atcherson, both of whom had sus-
tanned fractured skulls, died within an
hour.
