An Interesting Student.
The latest acquisition 10 the student
body of Augustana college is George
E. Shellberg, a 17-year-old boy of Mo
line. who enrolled in the academic de-
partment yesterday. Young Shellberg
has probably seen more of the world
than the average 17-year-old boy. hay
ing lived for eight years in the Amer
lean colony in Jerusalem.
Nine years ago young Shellberg
left Chicago with his father for
Jerusalem in company with a band of
settlers who had determined to try
their fortunes in that ancient city
During his stay in the old Jewish capt.
tai, the young man attended the
schools there and learned to speak
French, Swedish and Arabic fluently.
This. together with his command Of
English. makes him the master of
| four languages. Besides languages.
he also studied several other branches
| of learning in the schools of Jerusalem
and the knowledge he has attained
will probably enable him to enroll in
| the second class in the academy.
Professor Esbjorn, instructor of
modern languages, held an extended
| conversation with young Shellberg in
/, French yesterday in order to ascer-
tain his knowledge of the language
| He found that he was exceedingly
we'll versed. There vas no one at
the college who cared to test the
young mans ability in the Arabic
tongue.

DIES FROM BLOW
WITH BASEBALL
Sherman johnson, Moline
Young Man Hurt Sept. 6,
Passes Away at Hospital.
WAS HIT IN THE HEAD
Injury Affected Mind and he Wandered
Away From Camp, Later Being
Brought Here.

Sherman Johnson. the Moline young
man who was hit in the head by a
baseball at camp at Pettifer's island
Sept. 6, died last evening at o'clock
at st. Anthony's hospital as result
of the injury he sustained at that
time. 1t will be remembered that the
day following the accident at the is
land, Johnson disappeared, and at
noon he was found wandering two
miles away from the camp, wearing
practically no clothing whatever. He
was evidently demented as result
of the blow on the head with the ball
the day before. and his friends at once
placed him in a boat and brought him
to Rock Island and had him removed
TO st. Anthony's hospital.
He has since been confined at the
hospital. and the greater part OF the
time he has been unconscious. The
physicians and hospital attendants at
once pronounced his condition as very
critical, and expressed grave doubts
for his recovery.
Native of KeOkuk.
Mr.. Johnson was a native of Keo-
ku.l and was "a years OF age. He was
married five years ago, his wife hay
ing been Miss Esther Tropp. He is
survived by his wife and two children,
his parents three sisters and two
brothers.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
afternoon from the home, 1912 Fifth

FadS of Fashions.

Black with a touch of gold to
relieve it, makes a smart street
gown.
Ostrich tips and all sizes OF
plumes are to be used in album
dance.
Gored skirts are much in evil
dence and the vogue seems to
be growing.
Fur toques and fur crowns are
quite certain to be popular for
later wear.
The mushroom effect in mil
linery increases in popularity as
the season advances.
The craze for Aigrettes and
many plumes is making the new
fall hat beautiful but expensive.
The new autumn and winter
gowns promise much for the
makers of silk as quantities will
be used.
Small neat checks and stripes
are so popular that larger and
more snowy effects are little
seen.
Hats are still increasing in
!. size and the pertinent query is,
when will the limit be
reached?"
Serges and Panamas are as
popular as ever and promise TO
hold the season through against
all invasions.
The extremely long hip re-
ducing Directoire corset may
not be comfortable, but is fash
ionable and bound to be worn.
Armenian lace edge handker-
chiefs are more of rage now
than ever, and many limitations
are now to be seen.
There is a satisfaction to note
the simplicity in children's cos
tunes. The overdressed child
is now the exception.
The first need of the autumn
is tailored suit to replace the
Pongee or light stuffs which
have been on duty all summer.
The Regis corsets do not tor
ture oman into a hipless form,
,ut gradually and gracefully
f1atten the back and reduce the
hip size.
Among the fashionable new
tones are the pretty shades of
navy blue, taupe. leather,
bronze, peacock, duck and
smoke.
A delightful fad in women's
handkerchiefs is dainty bit of
colored embroidery or a delicate
narrow colored border giving
just hint of color effect.
Character may be added to
footwear by distinctive color eff
fects. Tan and blood shoes
and oxfords are continuing in
great popularity for fall.

FOREST FIRES KILL SEVEN
Settler and Six Indians Lose Lives in

Duluth, Sept. 1G.-Grand Marais is
girdled by roaring mountains of fire
and smoke. 1t is believed that man
snamed Monker and six indians have
persisted in the flames in an effort to
save homesteaders at hester, near
Grand Marais. This is the news
brought by Adjutant General Wood
and officers of the Minnesota Naval
Militia, who arrived on the Gopher
from the north shore. The Gorher is
in for coal and provisions and will
return to Grand Marais. The officers

IF having things better

L than others is worth while
then it's worth your while to
wear Regis shoes. They're
proper as to style-proper as to
all the little details that pro-
claim a better dressed woman.
They keep their shape and wear
Toner than most other shoes.
It's the last weeks wear of a
shoe--its shape, comfort and ap-
pearance-that decides a woman
where she will buy the next
pair. You pay no more for the
Regis than you do for shoes not
so well made, so stylish or so
durable.
Regis shoes-s5.00, $500, $3.50
and $500. Women are proud to
say they wear the Regis shoes
because they know their foot APP
parel is proper.
