destructive typhoones had all conspired

Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1906-05-30

Several games of base ball among
local enthusiasts were scheduled for
the past week, but the most of them
had to be postponed on account of the
rain. Rooney's Colts went to Waukon
Thursday but rain prevented the game
and on Saturday the Waukon high
school team drove over here, but could
not play for the same reason. Rain
also prevented the game scheduled for
Sunday between Rooney's Colts and
Ossian.
A very interesting game was played
on Friday afternoon between Rooney's
Colts and Bakers Giants, which was
nip and tuck between the two until
the eighth inning, when the Giants
went to pieces, and after trying every
man they had in the box, threw up
the sponge at the end Of the ninth,
and the game was won by the Colts,
81 to IA.
Rooney's Colts will play at Canton
Saturday, and on Sunday Ossian will
play here, at the fair grounds.
Rooney's Colts go to Waukon today
to mop the ground with the fans of our
sister city.

Schiller's Revenge.

When Schiller was boy at school he
was tormented by a Swiss tutor named
Kuplig. who came from the Grisons can
ton. Years later. when the poet wrote
"The Robbers" he revenged himself
on Kuplig and the Grisons by intro
ducing this little speech: ITO be a
scamp you must have genius. More
over. special climate is needed for
the growth of scamps, and to prove
this recommend you to visit the Gri.
sons canton. 1t Is the veritable Athens
Of modern rascality." In the later edi-
tons Of '"The Robbers" this quaint bit
Of spleen does not appear. 1t is sug-
gested that Schiller was not moved to
expunge 1t by any remorseful feeling,
but by very forcible protest from the
residents Of the abused canton against
this calumny.

The Marechal Mel Rose.

There is a pretty little history in con-
nectiOn with the naming Of the fash
ionable Marechal Mel rose, which, as
generally known, is named after the
famous general Of the Franco Austrian
war. when Mel was returning from
the scene Of his victories In war;"
writes an eminent florist, zone Of the
peasant women along the line Of march
presented him with beautiful basket
Of yellow roses. One Of these flowers
still had its roots clinging to 1t, and on
his arrival in Paris Mel planted the
flower In his garden. The rose thrived
and finally grew to bush covered
with blossoms. The general then pre-
sented the plant as gift to Empress
Eugene. She was delighted with the
beauty and fragrance of the flower
and, on learning that the rose had no
name. said significantly: Then 1 will
give 1t one. christen it the MarechaI
Mel and at the same time she be-
slowed upon the amazed general the
jeweled emblem that betokened his
promotion to the exalted Office of mar
shall Of France"

Sunday Morning

The union Memorial service at the
Grand opera house Sunday morning

was very impressive. The opera house

the front part of the parquet, while
upon the stage sat the ministers Of the
city, the musicians and the commander
of the Post.
The service opened with selection
by double quartette, composed of
Misses Pollitt, Berge, Freeman, Mrs.
Green, Messrs. Hill, Linnevold,
Tracy and Adams. Rev. DR.. Willett
of the Congregational church offered
prayer, and Miss DOttie Bear sang al
appropriate solo most beautifully,
accompanied by Alex. Bear with a
violin obligato and Mrs. Jessie Erwin
Marsh at the piano. Rev. E. G.. Hunt

scripture lesson, and Commander L.
l.. Couse read the names of the depart
ed members of Col. Hughes Post, after
which the quartette sang another
selection.
Rev. Margaret Olmstead then de-
livered the Memorial sermon, taking
for her text MAY the words of our
mouths, and the meditations OF our
hearts, be acceptable in thy sight, o
Lold, our strength and our redeemer. -
1t was strong sermon, an appeal for
peace, for bravery in combating the
evils of peace, and for the correction
OF the many present day vices. She
spoke of the day teaching lessons of
patriotism, in honoring the soldiers.
That patriotism was as necessary in
times of peace as in war, that we can
best honor the soldiers by preaching
the gospel of peace, by settling all
differences by arbitration, and by
consecrating ourselves to the prin-
ciples for which the soldiers fought.
She dwelt at length upon the tenn
perance question, the American dollar
worship, child labor, and the negro
question, presenting her ideas of the
method of coping with these present
day evils. Her discourse was listened
to with rapt attention and was re-
ceived with much pleasure and profit
by all who heard it,
The service closed with the singing
of America" by the audience and
the pronouncing of the benediction by
Rev. f. G. Hunt.

or not DEBORAH would celebrate the
Fourth of July this year. 1t has been
several years since there has been a

the consensus of opinion that we ought
to celebrate this year. Ii such is the
case it will of course be the biggest
thing of the kind that ever came down
the pike. Something should be done
at once if is decided to celebrate.

PIANO CONTEST STILL BOOMING.
Leaders Working Hard for the Pianos
Some One Will Get a SIS. 90 Watch
Next Week Saturday.

Without much ado the leaders in the
great Double Piano Contest being
conducted by Public Opinion have been
busily at work the past week, getting
new subscribers and votes for them
selves, and swelling the number of
readers of this great journal of civil
zation. This contest has gotten down
to the Saving wood" period for the
leaders, as they have seen all their
intimate friends and relatives, and
must now work among strangers.
But they are doing surprisingly well,
and getting new subscribers every
day.
We wonder who will get that
elegant $50. 90 Waltham Ladies' Gold
Watch which we will give away to
the lady having the most votes in the
ballot box ON next week Saturday night
June 9th, at six O'clock. All of the
former prize winners are barred from
this contest, and as it brings in only
those who have not been working so
hard before, it means practically a
new contest. No one cali tell who
will win it. 1t must be some one who
has not won prize before. Any girl
with little gumption and grit can
get this handsome watch. Just ten
days work will get it. We should
think tbat fbaro xuould ba a bupdrod

want 1T? Ask Miss Lucille Norton

her. This one is like it.
