tive audience. The lecture consisted
of description of the attempt of

CATHOLIC BAZAAR A SUCCESS.

Ladies and Participate in Contests.

The bazaar given by the Catholic
ladies at Steyer's opera house last
week was 10 success both socially and
financially. the ladies realizing about
$3.50, which amount goes towards
erecting a new Sisters residence.
Supper was served to large crowd

O'Clock, and at several places about
the hall were beautifully decorated
booths from which various articles
were sold. On thursday ev ming a
large number of articles including
some valuable prizes were given away
and the remaining articles which had
not been sold were offered at auction.
E. A. Waterbury officiated as auc-
tloneer and filed the position in a
very entertaining manner with his
clever jokes which kept everybody in

contest for the most popular girl be-
tween Miss Bernadine Shea of
Decorah and Miss Bessie Carolan of
Bluffton, for handsome life-sized
doll, resulted in a victory for the
former with a total of 544 votes against
476. The bazaar closed with a dance
on Thursday evening and was very
largely attended. music being furnish
ed by Helwig's orchestra. Had it not
been for the inclement weather We'd
nesday evening the receipts would
have been much larger and the COM
mittee in charge deserve special
credit for their careful management
and the handsome sum realized from
the undertaking.

Detective Would Assume False Credit.

In our last issue we reprinted an
article from the Des Moines Register
and Leader concerning the capture by
Sheriff Qualley of this county of
Curb, the famous forger, who pleaded
guilty last week TO the crime of for
gerry on two indictments in the dis
trict court here. The article was evil
IDENTIFY inspired by one Ed. Johnson,
city detective of Des Moines. and in
his interview with the Register and
Leader attempted to create the i'm
preston that ne was instrumental in
effecting the capture of Curb. The
fact of the matter is he had absolutely
nothing to do with it, and did not
know of his arrest by Sheriff Qualley
until long after he had been captured
and placed in Jail here. Sheriff
Qualley has made a ten-strike in
landing this man, and now that he
has pleaded guilty it is not fair for
this man to assume credit for some
thing that he had nothing TO do with.
Curb was wanted in several cities for
forgery, but his discovery, arrest and
sentence is due entirely to the dill
gence of Sheriff Qualley, who is en-
titled to the thanks of all fer placing
behind the bars famons criminal.
The head of every family is now re-
quired to make report to the city
health officer every time new baby
appears in his home. The new ruling
states that whenever child is born
in the city it shall be the duty OF the
head of the family to report the birth
of the child together with all required
facts to the health officer. The health
officer is then required to keep record
of all the reports that come in and is
10 file them with the state board when
ever this is required. In the case of
death the undertaken is reqired to
make the report to the health officer
and must secure certificate from him
before the body of the deceased can
be inferred The physician who at
tended the deceased is required to make
full report OF the disease and the
cause of the death to the undertaken
and he in return must make the re-
port to the health officer Another
ruling that has been made is that no.
body shall be disinterred without a
special permit signed by the health
officer and the mayor of the city. A
special permit must also be secured
for every body that is removed and the
removal can be made by licensed
undertaken and embalmer only.

Splendid music was furnished during
the evening by the Oneota Orchestra.
On Friday afternoon reception
was rendered to Capt. Amundsen at
the Luther College auditorium.
There was large crowd present and
the occasion was most enjoyable one
for all who participated. Excellent
music was furnished by the Luther
College Band and the male chorus.
The welcome address was made by
President G. X, Preus, followed by
Rev. l. b. Torrison, who presented
100 school children from the parochial
school and for them welcomed Capt.
Amundsen. One of the little girls
then presented him handsome boquel
of flowers. Capt. Amundsen then
replied feelingly to the reception
given him, showing his appreciation.
Rev. X. Seehus of Locust then made
pleasing address, after which many
of the guests met Capt. Amundsen
personally.
At 80 o'clock the citizens were
surprised to see torch-light process
sion coming down the street. Headed
by the band, the entire student body
of the college, each carrying torch,
marched down the street to the Mil
waukee depot and countermarched,
stopping in front of the Winnesheik
hotel until Capt. Amundsen and the
committee fell in behind, when they
escorted them to the Grand opera

DAYS OF STRENUOUS ENTERTAINMENT.

and Especially Of Luther College.
and Entertained With Banquet.
Reception, Procession. etc.

When Capt Roald Amundsen plants
the Norwegian flag upon the North
Pole it is not all improbable that
with it will be entwined the stars and
stripes, for he has been received with
such royal welcome throughout the
entire United States that he cannot
fail to feel warm place in his heart
for this country. And besides. he is
thinking strongly of making his dash
in 1910 from San Francisco, attempt
ing to reach the north pole via the
Northwest Passage, using Polar bears
in place of Esquimeaux dogs.
Nowhere during his journey through
America has he been greeted with
more enthusiasm than in Decorah.
He had looked forward with much
pleasure to his visit here. and he was
not disappointed. Not only Luther
College, under whose auspices his
entertainment was provided, but the
citizens in general united in welcom'
ing him as distinguished representa-
tive of Norway.
Arriving via the c., NJ. & st. P.
Ry. on Thursday afternoon he was
met at the station by the Luther Col.
lege Band, faculty and students in
line, and large number of citizens.
and this escort preceded his carriage
to the Winnesheik hotel, where he
was to be entertained.
At Z 80 Thursday evening he was
rendered a banquet at the hotel.
Covers were laid for one hundred.
and the tables and dining room were
beautifully decorated with the flags
of the two countries, together with
the great seal of Norway. The service
was par excellence. with the menu as

One correspondent of a daily
paper declares that when a
preacher steps from his pulpit to
