Funeral of Firemen to Be Public Eighteen Bodies Have Been
 Discovered.

Chicago, Dec. 23-All last night firemen worked on the fire at the stockyards plant of Morris and Co.,. where early yesterday Fire Marshal James Horan and more than score of his men lost their lives.
 Bremen placed the list of dead and missing at varying numbers from 22 l.. 30
 Sure 23 Are Dead.
 We are almost sure there are 23 aead and possibly more," sa Il John T. Murphy, who was secretary to Chef Toran.
 "ihere will be no opportunity for 6 complete roll call until today and utely perify .he list.'
 Eighteen Bodies Recovered.
 Eighteen bodies, including that Of Chief Horan, have been recovered and it is believe! there are at least sev en others still buried in the debris.
 Throughout the night fire was shooting high through the roof of twa Morris buildings adjoining the one in ruins.
 Early today, though still burning the fire was considered under control.
 To Raise Relief Fund.

 Three more bodies were removed from the ruins after daybreak today bnng the death roll, according to the police court, to 26.
 Others Have Narrow Escapes.
 Many more firemen narrowly es- capped death today in the stock yards As the members of ten engine com panies were playing water on ware house No. 6, where the flames had broken out afresh, the wall suddenly collapsed. Capt. John. Windhe'm Of engine company No. GA was knocked down by flying timbers and seriously injured In the confusion William Sheridan, IS years old, a clerk in the stock yards, was knocked off a plat form and perhaps fatally injured
 Still Burning at f D. m.
 Late in the morning the fire de- partment was still unable to say that the fine, which started at a. m. yes- terday, was under control It is said that only a fire wall between ware houses No. 6 and No. prevented an~ other long fight against the flames.

Rev. DR.. V. Koren of Decorah, Ia,
has been in charge of the same
parish for fifty-six years, since
1853.
The publishing house of the
synod at Decorah, Ia, has grown in
thirty years from a humble begin

ed capital to business worth

The church of the society was
originally carried On in the Nor
wegian language exclusively, the
recent arrivals from the old coun-
try knowing no other language. To-
day the English language is the
principal medium of instruction in
the educational institutions of the
church, most candidates for the min
istry are equally proficient in both
languages. Services in the city
churches are conducted alternately
in Norwegian and English, and the
number of churches in which the
English language is used exclusive
ly is gradually increasing, and
within few years will increase
rapidly.
The gospel preached by the min
istry of the synod is fast winning
recognition where exclusively Eng
Fish congregations are organized
within the church.

l.. &. BASE BALL TRIP.
Win All But One Game Away From
Home, Defeating st. Olaf
to l.

College spirit was rife at l.. c.
on Friday night, when the good
news came over the wires that the
Luther College ball team had de-
feated its old-time rival, St. Olaf
college of Northfield, MINI. by the
decisive score of Z to /. These two
Norwe egianAmerican colleges have
competed for athletic honors fer
years, and whenever they get to-
gether there is always large
crowd out to root for. their favor
ties. But the best of it all was the
fact that Ulvilden, {nick-named
"CatilineO, a freshman at L. C.,
pitched the game and it was his
first game for Luther. He comes
from near Sioux Falls, S. D., and
is destined to uphold the reputation
Of the college in base ball during
the coming years. He struck out
eight men and his opponents Sc
cured only three hits off him.
When the news came that Luther
had won, preparations were speed
lily made at home to celebrate the
event, so the band was assembled,
and with the student body of the
college following, carrying lighted
torches, paraded the main streets
of the city, playing lively music
giving the college yell, and cele-
brating the victory in true college
style. When the boys arrived home
on the midnight train they were
met at The station, and carrying
Ulvilden on their shoulders, march
ed triumphantly through the streets
to the college.
On the trip last week Luther Col.
lege won every every game but one
being defeated by the speedy St
Thomas team at st. Paul by the
score of to 5. They won from
Minnesota University Tuesday, to

AN ACCIDENTAL DEATH
Lester. Son of Mr.. and Mrs. Richard
Backnell, Meets Untimely End.
STRUCK BY AN AUTOMOBILE
While Following the Band Runs in
Front of Automobile and Re-
Ceives Injuries Which Re-
suit i'm Death.

One of the saddest accidents
which have happened in Decorah in
many years marred the pleasure of
the Yeomen picnic last Wednesday
evening and resulted in the death of
little Lester Bucknell, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Richard Bucknell, one of
the brightest, most generally be-
loved little fellows in the city.
While the band was marching about
the city playing on the various
corners, Lester was following them,
probably attracted by the music. as
any boy would be, and also by the
fact that his brother played in the
band. After playing on the corner
of the court house square, they
marched down to the corner of
Broadway and Washington streets,
and were circling about preparatory
to playing when Louis Peterson
drove his automobile past. He was
driving slowly and carefully, as he
always does, but Lester did not see
him, and in his joy and happiness
and excitement jumped Immediate
ly in front of the machine. He was
struck in the head by the lamp and
thrown down unconscious. He was
tenderly picked up and taken to
Dr. Daubneys office, who found the
skull badly crushed. Lester was.
then removed to his home and Drs.
Dana Jewell and Hoeg called to
assist in the operation which was
hoped might possibly save mis- life,
but the injury was too severe and
he passed away about two o'clock
in the morning.
Sincere sympathy fer the family
is felt throughout the whole city
and county, and for Mr.. Peterson
as we'll, who was in no wise to
blame for the sad accident, and
who has been heartbroken ever
since on account of it. Lester was
such a bright, cheerful, good natur-
ed little fellow that he was the
pride and joy of his parents, and
favorite with everyone.
The funeral services were held
from the Congregational church on
Friday afternoon at four o'clock,
Rev. M. Willett officiating, with in
terment in Phelps cemetery.

Advertising public sale, as well
as all other kinds of advertising, has
undergone a great change in the
last few years. Some years ago
when farmer wanted to have a
public sale he had the printer print
him from one to three hundred
bills and then a weeks time was
consumed in posting the bills, rid
ing all over the country, posting
them in every place where a pros
pective buyer was likely to see
them. Today it is different. The
farmer goes to the printer and has
hundred bills printed on cards,
something good and substantial,
then he has a good advertisement
put in the newspaper. The up-to-
date farmer realizes that his time
for several days is worth more than
the cost of advertisement, and be-
sides, the advertisements in the
newspaper goes into the homes and
is read at leisure time, whereas the
bills are sometimes glanced over
and passed by. No farmer can post
from 500 to 700 bills for the price
the printer will charge him for a
good-sfzed advertisement. Farms
ers have realized the value of ad-
vertising i'm newspapers, and now
when they have public sale of
any consequence you will find their
advertisement in local papers.-Ex
