FOUND FUNERAL INSTEAD
CoLoRED MoURNERS TOOK POS.
SESSION OF SERVICES.
CHRISTMAS PROGRAM CHANGED

1t Was a Surprised Congregation at
the Methodist Church Sunday Morn
ing, When Colored Funeral Was
Found in Progress.
(From Mondays Daily.1
Christmas services were not held
in the Methodist Episcopal church of
Norfolk Sunday morning according to
original plans. 1t was a colored flu
neral instead that occupied the hour.
When the congregation assembled, ex-
pecting to hear the joyful music of
the Yuletide, and in happy anticipa-
ton of the presentation of beautiful
new flag to the church, they found to
their very great surprise that among
the assembled throng were a large
number of colored people and that at
the altar was a casket instead of a
new flag
1t was something of a surprise even
to the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Vallow, who
had announced the annual Christmas
services and the flag service for the
morning hour on Sunday. Indeed he
tried in vain to carry out the program
as originally announced, but the
mourners insisted even more agrees
sively and they finally had their way
about it. 1t was not a matter of argu,
ment with them, nor did it matter that
plans had been made. They an.
nounced to the pastor that they would
be on hand at 1920 for a funeral and
that he would preach the sermon for
it. He protested vehemently but in
vain. Hastily the choir music was re
arranged from Christmas into funeral
strains, but it was too late to announce
to the public the change in plan. And
so members of the church attended
the funeral at 1890 and went again
in the evening to listen to the Christ
mas program. The new flag was not
presented and will come later.
How the Plans CIashed.
The death of Mrs. Gaines, a coloreC
woman who lived east of the Junction
and who succumbed on Friday to
cancer, caused the disarranged plans
in the church and gave incentive t.

ANDREW TEAL DROPS DEAD.
POPULAR ENGINEER TAKEN SUD.
DENLY FRIDAY MORNING.
HEART DISEASE THE CAUSE
Shortly After Getting Out Of Bed He
Suddenly Collapsed and Fell to the
Floor Dead-Had Been With North.
western Twenty-Five years.

If1OH fTluANS llHllyJ
Andrew Teal, one OF the best known
engineers on the Northwestern system,
dropped dead at his home in this city
at about o'clock Friday morning
The cause of his death was heart dis
ease.
Mr.. Teal had been ailing for some
time and during the past two months
has been laying off on account of his
health. For the past few days he has
been confined to his bed the greater
part of the time. This morning he
thought he was able to get up, and
had only just arisen and was being
assisted by Mrs. Teal to chair, when
he suddenly collapsed and fell dead on
the floor.
For twenty-five years Andy Teal had
been an engineer on the Northwestern
railroad, going with the old Fremont,
Elkhorn and Missouri Valley in 1850
and continuing with the Northwestern
when that company took over the road,
and he was personally acquainted and
popular with more than half the peo-
pie living between Missouri Valley and
Long Pine.
Mr.. Teal was born at Geneva, New
York, April IS, 1916, and removed with
his parents to western Iowa when he
was but boy, continuing on the farm
of his father until he was twenty-five.
At that age he began with the Chicago
& Northwestern at Missouri Valley as
fireman. Afterwards he went to Chey-
enne, Wyoming, where he was round
house foreman for the Union Pacific
for six years, returning to the Missouri
Valley and going with the F. e. & NJ
V. as engineer. His last run was on
trains No. 1 and 2 between Norfolk
and Long Pine, which place he has
held since that train was put on two
years ago until taken sick.
In 1874 he was married to Miss Mary
Vaudeville of Missouri Valley. There
were no children but little girl was
adopted, who is now Mrs. Miller Math
err, and who, with her foster mother
deeply mourns the sudden taking away
of true man.
Mr.. Teal was a member of the Chris
tian church and had been working HARD
! lately toward the construction of q
new church building for that denomi
nation, which he hoped to see complet
ed in the near future. He was pop
ular member of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive engineers.
He was a brother of F. A. Teal, fol
many years master mechanic of the
f. e. e M. V. at Missouri Valley. Mrs
Moore of Omaha, sister of Mrs. Teal
was visiting at the home at the time
the end came, the manner of which
had been forecasted by his physician
The funeral will be Sunday after
noon, and will be held under the aus
pieces of the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive engineers. Interment will be il
Prospect Hill cemetery.
Mrs. Teal will continue to live il
Norfolk, where they have nice home
but recently completed.

nounce the performance high grade
in every particular, Among those
present were great number of la

prove a Mecca for the femininity Of
Tulsa during the season.

concern 1t is owned and operated
by people who are in other business
in Tulsa, and who have large inter

manent fixture Of the city's amuse-
ment world. The owners have in
mind other things of much moment
along similar lines, which will be
launched as the summer progresses.
"Dreamland" comprises all that
is high class and refined in the way
of life-moving pictures. The roper
toire of the institution is almost un-
limited, and every performance a
complete change in the films is made
The pictures are all very distinctly
portrayed, and the spectator almost
fancies he is seeing the real thing
when he watches the true portrayal
of stirring scenes on the large back
ground. If you haven't yet seen
