lyric soprano voice of great
purity, richness, and compass,
she soon became a great favorite
on the stage; she was a member
of the Andrews Opera Company
at the age of seventeen and was
Prima Donna with this company
for years, winning applause and
favor in nearly every state in
the union: When the company
formed what was known as the
Andrews Swiss Bell Ringers"
she became famous as the sopra-
no bell ringer. Among her
musical instructors were Prof. Prof
W. N. Burritt, of Chicago, Prof.
Lowenthal, Of Paris Conservat-
ory, Madam Corain, of the
Conservatory of Milan. In 1890
the constant strain of daily
singing and the WEAKNESS Of
incessant travel brought ON a
severe attact of nervous pros
tration from which she never
fully recovered. Four years
ago Mr.. and Mrs. Rhodes moved
to Sisseton during which time
much of her time she has been
teaching vocal and instrumental
music and appearing at Cnau-
taqua assemblies.

Deaths.
RHODES.

Died in this city on Monday
Jan. Is, 1909, Laura E. Rhodes,
aged IS years.
1t is with sorrow and genuine
grief we take up our pen to
chronicle the death of one who
for the few short years we had
knaws h.r, had been to us as a
fri4.a4.s ss.il a sister and, we min
gle our tears with those of the be-
reaved ones, not forgetting that
any attempt to measure their
loss would be vain or that no
words are adquate to assuage the
grief of those who remain. The
hu :band, especially who has
watched the loved one gradually,
wearing away to the land O. the
leal like the snow when it's thaw,"
will miss the sweet companion
ship of the one whom we now
fancy waiting for him in the
palaces Of ivory with win
dows, crystal clear" besides
the still waters bordered with
silver lilies and the waving
palms of paradise, but his heart
will not be comforted for the
Angel of the House is missing.
Time alone that great physician,
can in a measure heal the
wounds and soften the sorrow;
then and not till then will he
be able to adequately contem-
plate the glory of that home to
which she has gone and say
THY will be done;;'' not till
then will he be reconciled to his
bereavement; but dear friend,
know ye that when the hand
of death shall be laid upon you,
when your final farwell to
this world you have said and
calmly lie down to your sleep
and you approach the brink of
Jordan, be comforted by the
thought that she will meet you
there and go over with you.
The funeral was held at the
late home of the deceased Tues
day afternoon and the remains
were taken to the old home at
St. Peter, MINI. by the husband
and brother J. O. Andrews
and wife. A nephew, Fred
Sinclair accompanied the party.

A FAMILY REUNION.

Mr.. and Mrs. Gee. Baxter rc-
turned Thursday evening from
Lincoln County Wis. where
they had been to attend a fami-
ly reunion given ct the paternal
home of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Baxter en- New Years day and
where the entire family was
represented. From one who
was there we CLEAN the follow
ing facts:
The Grand Reunion was the
idea of their son George w. of
Wilmot S. d. who summoned
every member of the family
to Clifford Wis. for New Years
day. None were obliged to send
regrets and on the eventful day
the fathers home was a scene of
the happiest event ever chroni-
cled in the history of Lincoln
County. The guests, numbering
twenty in all arrived in plenty Of
time for the big New Year din
ner and most of them remained
for several days. The father
had the comp1ete entertainment
of the family in charge and from
morning till night there was
nothing but thorough enjoyment
and pleasure for all.
On New Years day at 600
o'clock p. NJ. when the family
had the spacious dining room
to themselves the reunion din
ner was announced. The air
was filled with happiness and
good cheer and until eight
o'clock nlerriment with young
and old alike reigned supreme.
The happy spirit was every where
even in the decorations which
were arranged by the skillful
hand and artistic eye of the
hostess. The long table was
arranged in the spacious dining
room and at the head were
seated the father and mother
while on the one side sat the old
est son and on the other opposite
the oldest daughter then the
next oldest and so on down the
line, This unique idea of the
hostess's being carried out to
the youngest Of the grandchild-
ren.
During the serving of the
sumptuous dinner, which lasted
three hours, impromptu remarks
were INDUCED in in which the
entire assembly joined heartily.
After the close of the dinner all
gathered around the organ and
sang the old familiar hymns,
"Twill All Be Over Soon" and
"God Be With You Till We Meet
Again" All voted it the time OF
their lives.
The members of the family
were: John Baxter and wife and

CONVICT WANTS WORK TO DO
PREFERS WORKHOUSE SEN
TENCE TO TIME IN JAIL.
Court Allows Him to Occupy Him
self There for Six Months Be-
fore Beginning Leisure Term.

Lack of a reformatory or some lnsti-
tuition where men convicted Of minor Of
fenses could be employed in lieu Of the
present jail was forcibly presented in
Police Court this morning. when John
Bell. a negro. recently committed for
terms aggregating two years. following
convictions In ten cases Of larceny, was
brought before Judge Mullowny to an
swer to two additional charges.
The man entered pleas Of guilty. Upon
recommendation of the prosecuting at
torney his personal recognizance was
taken as it was deemed ipadvisable to
add anything to the sentence as 1t now
stands.
May / make a request of the court?'
Bell asked. as he was about to be led
back to the pen.
IF it is relative to these cases against
you. you may was the reply.
II want to ask your honor, continued
the prisoner ''to change the place Of my
the jail 1 sit down there all day long
with nothing to occupy my mind and
nothing to do but brood over my troubles
If I could just do little work 1 could
get along better"
The prisoner was told that everything
that lay within the power of the court
would be done to comply with his request.
But I can only permit you to serve six
months of the sentence In the workhouse.
That is the legal limit" explained Judge
Mullowny. 1.-The balance of your sentence
will have to be spent in the jail
THAT will do. your honor" Bell replied.
"Six months Is better than nothing
1t is probable the man will be trans
ferred to Supt Znkman's domain in the
next day or so.

BERLIN RIPPER CAPTURED
TO STAB WOMAN ON
CROWDED SHOPPING STREET.
Believed to Be Only One Of Those
Whose Acts Have Caused Ter
TOR in German Capital.

BERLIN. February ga man. who
made an attempt to stab a woman on
the Friedrich strasse, one of the crowded
streets Of the city, was captured this
morning The clothing Of his intended
victim was cut, but she herself suf-
fered no harm. The woman screamed
and her assailant fled into house on an
adjoining street. where he was at once
seized by a policeman. He is young
man, but ne has not yet been identi-
fed
Today's attempt was the, thirty-sixth
ripper case since the beginning of the
outrages. The descriptions Of the assail-
ant do not agree, and it is believed that
various men may have been engaged in
the work.
There has been an actual state OF terror
among the women of Berlin. many serv-
ants refusing to go on the streets alone
after nightfall. The police have made
every effort to capture the assailant.
They even had special detectives dress
lin as women and saunter through the
streets inviting attack, but all to no pur-
nose. The assaults have been made by
day as we'll as by night, and on the open
street as we'll as in the halls and stair
ways of houses. The assailant would ap-
nroach his intended victim quietly. strike
at her swiftly with sharp st1letto and
then make his escape during the ensuing
confusion.
