Reminiscence OF the Past

It is not a pleasant thing to
think of the departed, and yet
it is we'll, sometimes to think Of
the past and present, and to re-
call the names Of the men who
had much to do in laying the
foundation of our prosperity,
and the stability of our young
city. Below we give the names
of those who lived here when
we came here in the spring of
1863, and in calling the roll we
find many who have passed over
the dark river, or joined the
moving procession to the great
west. In giving the list of the
dead, we have, no doubt, omit
ted some, who lived here CT
nearoy, for it is very hard
to write history by memory,
after a lapse of forty years, and
therefore we do not give this
list, claiming for it absolute
correctness, nor is the list full,
but as near SO as we now re-

held yesterday at the federal

until l 80 in the afternoon. AS
most of the postmasters had to

evening the session was of much
shorter duration than had been
planned.
All social features, including
the proposed luncheon, were
abandoned and the meeting
was devoted to the discussion
of matters connected with the
service. w. B. Keith. presi-
dent of the association, who is
postmaster at Mondamin, acted

subject of postal savings banks.
Mr.. Hazelton spoke in favcr of

at the opinion that the people
in the rural communities gen.

Last Thursday was the hftieth
wedding anniversary of Mr.. and
Mrs. Mons Ramsey, highly esteemed
pioneer residents of Washington
Prairie, and a company OF about
sixty friends and relatives assem-

presented with a handsome gold
headed cane, and Mrs. Ramsey with
a beautiful gold pin and three new

enjoy many years of health and
happiness. They have lived on

COMING NEXT SATURDAY.
..rbe Great Divide" Magnificent
City Attraction Here This
Week.

No one who desires to encourage
the management TO bring to DEBORAH
the best that is going in the way of
theatrical entertainment should fail
TO attend the Offering at the Grand
next Saturday night.
THE Great Divide" has been cor
rectly termed the long awaited
great American play. The subject
treated by Mr.. Moody in The Great
Divide" naturally is the best one up
on which a vitality interesting play
can be written-the mutual love and
romance of a man and woman. The
vital interest of this play lies In
the strikingly original yet thorough
ly logical and convincing way in
which the theme is treated. The
man, Stephen Client, the leading
male character. is son of the noun
tains and plains, fearless and
care-free product of the boundless
west. The woman, Ruth Jordan,
the heroine of the story, is daugh-
ter of a circumscribed community
of an old civilization and culture.
These strangely contrasted natures,
by that mysterious law OF human
attraction and repulsIon that can
not be explained in words, but which
is as fateful as the movement or
the universe, are drawn to each
ether and held together inexorably
to the end. But before their ro-
mantle and marital relations are ad-
justed and their lives harmonized,
there is a period of intolerance and
antipathy representing that evolu-
ton of mutual soul-awakening and
mental development which forms
the heart of Mr.. Moody's drama.
The settings of the play are singu-
larly appropriate to its subject mat
ter. The first scene represents a
modest ranch house in Arizona; the
second plateau-"The roof OF the
world"-high up in the Cordillera
Mountains; and the third, the par
Ior of an old Colonial home in Mil
ford Corners, Massachusetts. The
splendid scenic investiture and
painstaking presentation help tc
emphasize the keynote of the play
the spirit OF the untrammelled west
in conflict with the spirit of the es
tablished east. Mr.. Miller has pro
vided carefully selected compan!
to present THE Great Divide here
with the splendid production pre-
cisely as given for over 500 night
before leaving New York.
