Celebrate Golden Wedding.

During the past few months quite
number of our pioneer couples
have celebrated their fiftieth we'd
ding anniversary which denotes
among other things that this has
become one of the old settled parts
of the country.
Yesterday a company of friends
and relatives called upon Mr.. and
Mrs. Richard Madden to assist them
in celebrating their golden wedding,
and wish them many added years
of health, happiness and prosperity.
The time was very pleasantly spent
in reviewing the experiences, the
joys and the sorrows of the early
days, and in comparing the time in
which they were married to the
present. 1t was a delightful occa-
sion for all who were present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Madden were mar
ried fifty years ago near Waukon,
but for many years have been resi-
dents of this city, good friends and
neighbors, Industrious, honorable
citizens. who enjoy the esteem of all
who know them. Every reader will

DEBORAH II; POSTVILLE 3.
Newly Organized Team of Local
Players Too Fast for PostvilIe.
With Right Kind of Support
Home Team Will Prove
Winner.

DEBORAH came back" into base
ball with vengeance last Friday.
The best part of it all is that it was
an all-home team that carried off
the glory. Postville's famous First
was the victim and the score, IL to
3, shows the local team did them
up right. 1t has been some years
since DEBORAH presented as strong
lineup of all-home boys, as the
team that faced Postville. Bidne
was in the box and while little
wild at first, soon steadied down
and proved that he was as good, if
not better, than of yore. Hustvedt.
the Johnny King" of the team,
proved a surprise. He cauhgt a
superb game and secured three hits.
Qualley, Rogue, Shea and Preus,
completed the infield, and ought to
make winning combination. "Hi'
Green. Henning Larson and Archie
Bernatz constitute the outfield and
will hold up their end of the game.
Postville brought Fuelling along to
do the twirling, but he was not at
his best, besides his team mates
made errors while DEBORAH piled
up eight hits. DEBORAH made four
scores in the first inning, while
Postville scored three times before
the locals counted again. Then the
home boys started and in the con-
innings amassed eight runs.
Joe Graf officiated as umpire. The
attendance was not enough to pay
expenses, but it is hoped that our
people will awaken to the fact that
We now have an all-home team, an
aggregation that deserves loyal sup
port, and will take an interest in
helping to maintain the team this
summer.

Mrs. III. "A. Warmers Father Dead

We note from a copy of the Pitts
ton, Pa, Gazette on our desk that
Mr.. Charles Law, one of the most
prominent citizens of Pittston, Pa,
and father of Mrs. II. A Warner Of
this city, passed to his reward last
Tuesday afternoon. Mr.. Law start
ed in mercantile life in a small way
in his early life and rapidly ad-
vanced until he became known as
the Wanamaker of the Susquehan-
ma, the best known merchant of his
section. The paper contains an ap-
probation of this man nearly three
columns in length, which gives a
recital of his life and his high place
in the hearts of the community in
which he lived. Friends of Mrs.
Warner in DEBORAH will sympathize
with her in her bereavement.

The above head in itself is

The past season Calmar has won

MAYOR PRATT, OF
VERONA, vET0ES
SEVERAL BILLS
Council, However, Passes ResO-
luton to Lay Water Main With
out Executives Signature.

The resolution passed Vt the last
meeting of the Verona Borough Council
deferring the building of a stand-pipe
was returned las night without Mayor
Pratt's signature, as was also a reso-
luton to mak a contract with James
L. Boylan to complete h laying of
water mains over Westover road and
the purchase of two hydrants and four
tons of six-inch pipe. He stated in his
veto message that he had looked care
fully into the matter, and to follow the
opinion of the engineers, to hav ample
fire protection the stand-pipe was a ne
cessity. No part of the money left
from the bond issue should be used, he
said, until the land is secured and
stand-pipe is erected.
This same position was taken by for
mer Mayor Palm last year. After a
long discussion the stand-pipe resolu-
ton was considered, and before a vote
was taken Councilman Fillmore Condit
asked hat the resolution be held over
until a public meeting was held and the
opinion of the citizens obtained. A reso-
luton to call a public meeting was
passed.
The resolution making a contract
with James T. Boylan was reconsidered
and passed over the Mayors veto.
Mayor Pratt stated to the Council that
he had prevailed on Councilman Will
lam A. Smith to reconsider his resig-
nation from the Council.
