Washington. The speaker for that
occasion has not yet been secured.
Special music will be provided for
these different services.
The conflict between the first of
these patriotic services and the union
evangelistic services was unavoidable,
as the speaker comes from a long dis
lance and was engaged before it was
know that the evangelistlc meetings
would be continued so long.

Freight Goes i'm Ditch.

The outgoing Monday morning
Rock Island freight was ditched
about a mile this side of Nordness
The heavy rain of Sunday weakened
the supports of long tressel bridge
and it could not withstand the
weight of the heavy engines. The
train was double header, but con-
sisted only of two refrigerator cars
and the caboose. The front engine
got over all right, and the tender of
the second engine turned turtle, the
two refrigerator cars going into the
creek and were badly demolished.
The caboose remained on safe ground
and fortunately none of the engine
or train crew were injured. A wreck
ing train was quickly dispatched to
the scene and after working from
ten O'Clock Monday morning until
five o'clock Tuesday morning the
track was cleared and traffic re-
sumed.

closed with an impressive address by
Prof Laur Larsen, d. D., for many
years presirent of the college.
The afternoon exercises on Satur-
day were attended by an immense
crowd, so large that the big auditor
ium was filled to its utmost capacity
and many stood outside. After music
the address was delivered by DR.. L.
Hektoen of Chicago, president of the
Luther College Alumni Association.
1t was scholarly address, and was
listened to with close attention and
great pleasure by the large audience.
The rest of the afternoon was given
over to greetings brought to Luth-
er College on this occasion from the
various UNCONVENTIONAL schools and
colleges throughout the country.
Practically all the institutions were
represented and their congratula-
tions and good wishes We're express
ed in a very hearty and sincere man

Last week VIM. Hauswirth, the
barber, purchased the John D. Null
laney farm of 173 acres near Trout
Run. Mr.. Hauswirth will not take
possession of the farm until next
spring, and still retains his interest
in the Central Barber Shop, The
close confinement of inside work does
not agree with Mr.. Hauswirth S
health, SO he decided to try farm
life. The place is very close to De-
corah, is fine farm, and no doubt
the. change will prove beneficial to
him.

LUTHER COLLEGE.

various classes of the college got to-
gether and renewed old acquaint-
ances and associations.
Saturday evening soon after sup
per, the people commenced to gather
on the college compus, and by seven
O'Clock there was very large crowd
on hand, awaiting the great spec
tacular feature of the Jubilee cele-
bration, the annual college illumina-
ton. Special effort had been made
to make the illumination attractive
and pleasing this year, and at seven
o'clock the college building and
dormitory became ablaze with cleo
tricity in a fash, the college band
struck up the Norwegian national
hymn, and a thrill Of joy went
through every heart. 1t was the
great eliminating feature of great
day, and everybody was happy. The
band played several selections dur
ing the illumination, which lasted
much longer than ordinarily. Then
the crowd repaired to the auditor
ium, where Prof. Carlo A. Sperati
and his now famous Luther College
Concert Band gave concert, which
will long be remembered by all who
had the good fortune TO hear il. 1t
was request program in entirety
and the boys never played better

this splendid organization in these
columns that we can add nothing

A 4 y Hour Sale.

Next Saturday afternoon, COM
mencing at one o'clock and ending
at $3.50, n. r. Croft will put on a
special horse blanket sale, and will
give 20 per cent discount during
these 1-2 hours only. 1t will be
a big money saving event for all
those in need of horse blankets. 1t
will be well for all to bear in mind
that the sale will close promptly at
$3.50. Last year Mr.. Croft put a
similar sale on and a great many
customers arrived after the closing
hour, and Of course were disappoint-
ed in not getting the discount. Look
- the advertisement in this issue,
and keep the hours of the sale in
mind, and don't lost out by being
tardy.

Buying Goods For 1912.

Messrs. Ben and Edward Bear. ar
rived home from Chicago this noon,
where they had been placing their
orders for spring suits for 1912.
Thus it is that the square dealing
store stands in the front ranks of the
leading retail stores of the country.
Mr.. Bear goes to market months be-
fore the season the goods are to be
used and there personally selects the
very latest and best, and has them
made up to his own personal order,
and knows just what he is getting,
and consequently knows the styles
and colors that are going to be worn,
which has made him an authority on
leading styles for many years. Mr.
Bear tells us that his selection for
next spring is simply the most beau
tiful he ever bought. He never was
more pleased with a line of suits be-
fore than with this order he has
placed with the famous II. S. G. NJ
firm for the spring of 1912.

oiN VAIN ms
To those who live in DEBORAH and
vicinity the repetition Of the oratorio
The Messiah" under the direction
of Prof. Sperati was but the renewal
of the delight with which they have
listened to this oratorio here on pre-
vious occasions; but TO the many
who were present from distance it
was revelation. One hundred and
sixty voices blending in splendid har-
mony, in true accord with the baton
of Prof. Sperati, rendering this mag
nificent masterpiece win a precision
that is seldom attained, accompanied
by a we'll balanced orchestra of
twenty-five pieces, the solo parts
taken by accomplished musicians
from Minneapolis and Chicago, 1t was
a musical treat that is indeed a rar-
ity and to enjoy it was a great OPP
portunity. 1t was heard by the i'm
mense audience which packed the au
ditorium with great delight, and
everyone there was glad that they
had braved the storm in order to be
present. The soloists, Miss Clara
Williams of Minneapolis, soprano
Miss Esther Plumb of Chicago, con-
tralto; Mr.. Edward Walker of Chi
cago. tenor; and Mr.. Harry Phillips
of Minneapolis, bass, and each came
in for the enthusiastic reception
which their work deserved. They
were very satisfactory in every way.
Thus closed the fiftieth anniver-
sary of Luther College, the greatest
week in the history of the institu-
ton, a week of festivities all in ev-
cry way an unqualified and notable
success.

Mr.. K. /. Haugen arrived home
Friday noon from his trip to Norway,
where he has been spending the
summer among the scenes of his
childhood, visiting friends and rela-
tives, and enjoying a much needed
vacation from the cares of business.
He is the last of the Decorahians
who have been to Norway this sum-
mer to return, but was unable to
procure satisfactory passage for
home earlier in the month, and be-
sides, wanted to make his visit COM
plete while there. Everybody is glad
to see him home again, refreshed
and recuperated.

ing clouds, and the prospect of a
pleasant day had disappeared. The
rains which followed were a grave
disappointment, but nevertheless one
of the largest crowds ever on the
college campus was present, and ii
proved to be a great day. Prof. o.
E. Brandt of Hamline Seminary de-
livered the Jubilee Sermon at the au-
ditorium, mastery address, impress
sive and scholarly, occupying the
close attention of the large audience
from beginning to end.
As the auditorium could not &C
commodate the vast crowd, services
were also held in the college chapel
with Rev. T. o. Tolo in the pulpit.
The rain came down in torrents
until after two o'clock the time set
for the unwilling of the Martin
Luther statue, but nevertheless the
crowd continued to increase, con-
slant streams of teams coming in on
every road. The Sunday afternoon
crowd was enormous, and in spite
of the very inclement weather it
proved a day of great enjoyment to
everyone who participated. The ad-
dress by Prof. job. Ylvisaker was
one of the best of the weeks pro-
gram, filled with profound thought

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Items of Interest From the DEBORAH
High School, Reported by Our
Special Correspondent.

Last Monday was report card day
for the end of the first six weeks.
The high school chorus has COM
menced practice on Honor and
Arms" by Handel 1t is a fine work
for phrasing and breath control, and
they hope to gain much benefit from
the study of this selection.
We are very fortunate to have a
set of Nisi pottery added to our col
lection of drawing models. Our sup
ply on models has been limited and
the new set will be appreciated by
the watercolor class.
The high school enjoyed a very
good and interesting talk by Rev.
Willett last Friday morning.
The high school foot ball team at
tended the game between the fresh
men and sophomores at Luther Col
lege last Thursday, and besides en-
joying the game, the boys got some
very good pointers.
Edgar Engle of the class of 1911
was here last week, for a few days.
Mr.. Day spent Saturday and Sum-
day in Mason City.
A number of new books have been
added to the high school library.
Next Friday morning Mr.. L. L..
Caldwell will address the high school.
Mr.. Caldwell is one of our staunch
friends and We are glad that he is
to be with us.
The tennis match between DEBORAH
and Riceville last Saturday ended
with a victory for DEBORAH, Riceville
being nosed out of even getting one
set. The court was like duck
pond, which seriously hampered the
work of both teams. 1t was only
through the kindness and hard work
of Mr.. Baker and some OF our boys
that it was possible to play at all.
Mr.. Gamertsfelder acted as referee.
The scores of the matches were as
follows: McClaskey VS.. Walker 6-1 /,
Go; Baker VS.. Burke 6-3, 6-1; Dow
ME and Bromley VS.. Rockwell and
Peave 60, 90; Baker and Nicolas
key VS.. Walker and Burke GA, GO.
The Riceville boys were nice fellows
and good losers and we were glad
to have them with us.
Next Friday afternoon is the big
foot ball game with Cresco. This
will be good game, for both teams
are working hard, each hoping to
down the other. DEBORAH will do
their best to down the old rival. This
will probably be your only opportun-
ity to see a foot ball game this sea-
son, so take advantage of it and
help the boys out by showing them
that you are interested in what they
are doing, not for themselves, but
for the school. The lineup for Fri
days game will be as follows: Ends
Cox, Croft, Lee; Tackles-Jewell
Grinna, Bailey; Guards-V. McKin-
ney, Bradish, Tufte; Center-C. Nc
Kinney; Quarterback-H. Conover,
