When Butler Realized His Error
once more the British army dragged its weary

and here, where General Butler had opportunity for
meditation, he finally realized. had long feared
he would, that he had made mistake in attempting
to relieve Ladysnth from the west, but should have
gone to the east. In this direction line of
defense was weakest. Langwani Hill was the real
key to position. and in desperate assault the
British took it. Our extreme left turned.
There Butler hurled his hordeS on Peters Hill,
Grobers Koof. and the other elevations that doomed

there occurred very slight incident
which led to larger consequences. My
foot caught in my skirt, and involun-

ton of annoyance that the occasion
seemed to warrant. Looking up sud-

ing gaze of a short, dark, ordinary
looking man of middle age He was
by no means noticeable, yet his face
made an impression on me not alto

the dusty plush seat of the car, and,
having no book with which to while

the metropolis, l opened my paper.

The Oratorio "St. Paul"

Unfortunately the rendition OF
Mendelssohn's oratorio st. Paul" by
the DEBORAH Choral Union, under the
direction of Prof. Carlo A. Sperati at
the Grand opera house last Wednes-
day evening was heard by a much
smaller audience than has greeted this
splendid organization in former wears.
But those who were present enjoyed
an Interpretation of this great oratorio
which will long be remembered in De-
corah, and which ranked well in COM
parisou with former events of a SINH
larscharacter. The large chorus was
equally as good as on former occa-
sions and there was a decided i'm
provement in the orchestra. Prof.
Sperati again sustained his reputation
as a master director, presenting pro-
gram such as is seldom seen in cities
the size of DEBORAH. The soloisss
were the recipients Of much praise fol

BAR ADOPTS RESOLUTIONS.
At Recent Session Of Court Members OF
winneshiek County Bar Adopted Fol.
lowing Resolutions Of Respect to
the Late Attorney Dan Shea.
DANIEL SHEA.

At an informal meeting of large
number OF the Winneshiek County Bar,
held April 9th, 1908, the undersigned
were appointed committee to express
the sentiment and appreciation of the
Bar of the life, character and services
of Daniel Shea, long member of this
Bar, who departed this life ON the Ind
day of April 1908, at his home in Decor
all. He was born February 18th, 1903,
at Schenectady New York, coming west
at the age OF fourteen years, with his
parents, settled in Winneshiek County.
In December 1875 he was married to
Mary A. Waters, who with three sons
and three daughters survive him.
While he was engaged in teaching, and
during the time he was superintendent
of the schools of Winneshiek County,
his spare time was devoted to the study
of the law, in the Office of the late
Judge C. r. Willett. Admitted to
practice in 1889 and was soon classed
as good lawyer after the struggle OF
self-made man, worthy OF emulation by
youth of the country. He served the
City of DEBORAH, for four years, as
City Solicitor acceptably to the public
and with credit to himself.

our midst one of the most honorable
and able of our profession, Daniel Shea.
Therefore be it resolved: that we
deeply deplore his death recognizing in
it a grievous loss to the bar of an able
lawyer, the public an exemplary citizen,
his family kind and affectionate has
band and father, and we hereby ex-
press our profound respect and esteem
for him as a man of noble mind and
grand character.
That this community has lost wise
counsellor, prominent citizen, who
was active in his efforts to promote the
best interests of his clients, honorable
in the practice, any agreement or
understanding had with him could be
relied upon without its being re-
duced to writing That in ,apprecia-
ton of his life, character and work, we
respectfully present resolutions to the
Court, and request that they be spread
upon the Court Records of this Court,
and copy thereof be furnished his
family, and the press for publication.
