with much pleasure his interesting
recital OF experiences when he lived
here in the early days, the hardships,
neer times. His many warm friends
and acquaintance were more than
pleased to see and hear him again,
and many were the hearty greetings
and handshakes and good wishes
which he received.
On Friday evening he was rendered
a reception at the rooms of the
Norske Selskab, where a delightful
evening was spent by all present.
Home Corners Banquet.
At the Winneshiek Hotel on Thurs
day evening, Hon. Jesse A Gregg,
who first suggested a Home Coming
for DEBORAH, rendered banquet to
a large company of friends of the
carly days. The menu was served
in the usual satisfactory manner by
this popular hostelry, after which
the guests were RECALLED with speech
making and song to late hour.
The DEBORAH Drum Corps.
AS We have before stated, the re-
union of the famous old DEBORAH
Drum Corps was an event that will
long be remembered both by the
members of the organization and the
citizens of DEBORAH. Twenty-six of
the old boys responded to the invita-
ton to come home and reune,"
and the times they had cannot be
described here. 1t was one continu-
Gus round of good fellowship Their
playing with old time vigor both in
the parades and In the evening con-
certs brought out cheer after cheer,
and on each appearance they were
greeted with such enthusiasm as has
not often been seen in the city.

the Junior Drum Corps was an in

the leadership of F. j. Ambli, have

However, it was evident that the
Logan Squares was the best balanc-
ed team. The crowds were delight
ed to see such famous ball players
play as Jimmy" Callahan, Capt.
Adrain c. Arson, "Chick" Frazer,
Muir, Donovan, etc. The score on
Tuesday was to 5. on Wednesday
2 to 1, and on Thursday to 3.
The game on Friday between De-
corah and Calmar was one of the
closest of the week For eight in
nings not a score was made on either
side, and the playing was fast and
exciting, but DEBORAH finally won by
the score to 2 to l. 1t was one of
the best games ever played between
Calmar and DEBORAH, the famous
base ball rivals.
The Speeches.
IN our last issue we noted the
opening address of welcome by
Mayor F. w. Daubney and the adj
dress of Congressman G. n Haugen
of Northwood. Iowa, on Tuesday
afternoon. DR.. Daubneys remarks
were very timely and fitting, as al
ways, and the address of Congress
man Haugen was listened to with
much pleasure by his old time
friends and neighbors of this coun-
ty.
The address of Hon f. G. Dunn of
Mason City Tuesday evening at the
court house square was one of the
best ever heard in the city. Mr..

first appearance in DEBORAH and his
remarks were Justly cheered.
The Home Corners reunion at the
Grand opera house Friday morning
drew out large crowd. In the aud
fence were many of the old residents
of the city, and it proved an "eXpe-
rience meetin that brought tears
as we'll as smiles and laughter. Mr..
Ben Bear called the meeting to
order, and in a few we'll chosen re-
marks introduced Hon. Jesse A.
Gregg of st. Paul, who presided.
He spoke feelingly of the city and
the welcome given the home corners.
Then there were brief speeches by
Rev. Dr. II. II Green of DEBORAH

1t was at Minneapolis where Miss Priest

willing to let Miss Priest make good
by playing the part that had come under
her disfavor. Miss Priest laid aside the
dignity OF her office and called for the

close OF the first performance the audience
voted Priest a brick-not a gdld brick, but

Great French Actor Dies Very Sud,
denly at His Home.

Great French Actor Dies Very sud
denly at His Home.
During the week the dispatches from
Paris brought word that Benoit Constance
Coquelin. the greatest figure on the French
stage. had died suddenly at his home. He
had been at work for many days, preparing
for his appearance in NJ. Rostand's forth
coming comedy, 'Chanticleer," and only the
day before his death had engaged in a
lengthy rehearsal Of the comedy. His death
was due to acute embolism, from which
he had long been a sufferer.
NJ. Coquelin had appeared in Omaha but
once, on February 5, 1901. when he played
Scarpia To Bernhardt's La Tosca at the
Boyd theater, making a presentation of
Sardou's l. ToscA,, that probably will
never be forgotten by any who made up the
great crowd hat filled the theater on that
occasion. 1t was typically French melo-
drama, presented by the greatest of French
actors, supported by a company of actors
personally chosen TO assist the stars, and
the result was a performance about as
near perfect in every detail as could be
wished.
The French press pays a high tribute to
the genius of NJ. Coquelin whom It con-
siders to have been one of the greatest
theatrical figures of the age. Almost all
the papers recall his last success in Sar-
dou's The Poison Affair The Temps
says:
M. Coquelln will be mourned by every
one-by the authors, of whom he was a
brilliant interpreter; by the public. of whom
he was the idol; by the great and humble,

will yet be removed entirely from the
limbo OF "one nights and be enrolled In
that glorious company wherein the strong
attractions stay in town long enough to
give all who wish a chance to see them
decently and in order. The building OF
another first-class theater in Omaha will
make It possible to have two OF the strong
companies In Omaha at once, and II sur
face indications may be taken as a basis
for judgment, that may be brought to pass.
Omaha is growing Intellectually and So
cislly as fast as in other ways. and 1t will
be found that the new theater has been
needed by the time II is opened.

and by the poor actors, of whom he was
the b~enefactor."
Benoit Constant Coquelin. known as
Coquelin Aine. was the best known actor
on the French stage. He was born at
Bouglogne-Sur-Mer, January %, 1871, the
son OF a baker. Deciding to go upon the
stage he was admitted to the conservatory
in 1859. He secured the first prize in comedy
In 1860.
He made his debut at the Coincide Fran
caise In La Dept Amoureux" the same
year, and from 1850 to 1856 he created no less
than forty-four parts. He left the Coincide
Franchise In 1886 and toured Europe and
America. In the United States he had q
great success. In 1890 he returned to the
Coincide Franchise as q pensionaire.
He created his famous part. Cyrano de
Bergerac, in 1897. He made a grand tour of
America with Sarah Bernhard in 1900 and
reappeared with her in "L'Aiglon" in Paris
in 1901. OF recent years he has been play
ing "Cyrano de Bergerac" and other roles
In London
Undoubtedly Coquelin's genius was
largely influenced and developed by hard
work and his habit of taking pains. OF
the latter attribute many illustrations
might be given, like the little incident
when ne was rehearsing "Guesclin' in
Paris a few years ago. In one scene the
populace came to pray at the village
cross, and in the same scene Coquelin had
to deliver a long and difficult speech.
But the position of the cross was not to
his liking. and so It was moved to one side,
and the actor gave his speech there.
Then II was changed to another position.
and he recited his part for the third time
with the utmost care. Stiil perfection
had not been attained. and again the cross
was set up elsewhere, and the player went
over his speech once more.
At least three further positions were tried.
and thrice more was the speech delivered,
and then Coquelin announced his satisfac-
tion and the ideal spot had been found.
But for Coquelin, f. is said. the late NJ.
Felix Faure never would have become
! president OF the French republic. Il APP
pears that about 1875 Faure was a trades
man at Havre; now and then he visited
Paris, and on such occasions seldom failed
to go to the Coincide FRANCHISE, where he
made the acquaintance of coquelin. One
day the latter said TO Faure;
Come and see me between the acts, and
I'll introduce you to some one who will be
Interested to know you"
The some one turned out 20 be no less
a person than Gambetta, who afterwards
persuaded Faure TO take up'a parliament
AIRY career. and helped him toward the
presidents chair.
