OLE O. BLAGSVEDT DEAD.
One of DecOrah's Popular Travelling
Statesmen Passes Away in
st. Paul.

While out on a trip on the road
last Tuesday night in st. Paul Mr.
Ole O. Blagsvedt of this city was
taken seriously i'll, being at the
home of his son Adolph. He had
been feeling poorly for several
weeks, and for a time was confined
to his home here, but had gone out
on the road again. A message was
sent to the family, and on Wednes-
day Mrs. Blagsvedt and daughter
Bertha went to his bedside, the
other members of the family fol-
| lowing during the next two days, a
telegram coming Friday which said
that his condition was dangerous.
Ed. Rossley took Ole, who had
come in on the afternoon train from
trip on the road, and Rev. o. E.
Schmidt to Riceville, where they
caught the Great Western train. An
operation was performed Friday
afternoon at. st. Joseph's hospital
for gall stones, which was success
full, and he seemed to improve so
rapidly that Ole and Rev. Schmidt
came home Saturday. The next day
change for the worse came, and
Ole and Rev. Schmidt went back
Sunday night. He grew rapidly
worse, acute Bright's disease devel-
oping, and passed away about one
O'Clock Monday afternoon. The re-
mains were brought home that
night, accompanied by the family,
and the funeral services are being
held this afternoon, at two o'clock
from the house and at $3.50 o'clock
from the United Lutheran church,
Rev. O. E. Schmidt officiating, with
interment in the Norwegian ceme-
terry, attended by an unusually
large number of friends and neigh
bors.

the first white child born in Fill

Miss Anna Arney. of near Beloit
Wis, Nov. %, 1876, and to this
union were born seven children
six of whom, with the wife ant

Ole, Clara, Alfred and Bertha. The
unfortunate death of their son
Charles, from a railroad accident, il
still fresh in the minds of the &C
quaintances of the family. Beside
these he is survived by his age'
mother, sc years old, two brother
and three sisters. For a number o
years the family lived at Preston

years ago. He engaged in bushes
for a few years. but for severa
years past has been travelin,

*Replaced Green in the batting

Summary: Three base hits, Preus,

w. Barthell. Time of game 1850.
Yesterdays game was won by
Strawberry Point-9 to /. The score,
however, does not show the real
closeness of the match. The visitors,
it seemed, would almost get out and
still score; DEBORAH would almost
score, and then get out. punching
their hits and taking advantage of
the home teams errors, together
with Nygaards inability to tighten
up in the pinches, is the story of
how Strawberry Point won. When
DEBORAH had opportunities to score
the visitors would close the lid and
there would be nothing doing. With
the exception of one or two innings
it was a snappy exhibition of ball.
Dye pitched fine ball for six in
nings, DEBORAH making one run off
him in the sixth Sanders shut the
locals out the last three innings.
Reque's hitting was a feature of the
game. Hruska, of Calmar, also
played with the locals and put up n
good article of ball. The attend
ance at both games was good.

A Fine Machine.

The Lutheran Publishing House
has been busy during the past week
installing a new Cleveland folder
one of the very best machines of the
kind made. 1t will be used mainly
for book work, is much faster than
any other machine, and will fold al
most any kind of a sheet in any
style desired. The machine has
many advantages not heretofore
found in similar machines, and will
be a great time saver for this insti.
