HEART TO HEART TALKS-By Edu;n A. Nye

the angels say, What good deed did ht
 send ahead of him?'" Measured in that way, Austin w
 Mann was many times a millionaire-a spiritual multimillionaire. These are real life stories: young man, the youngest and fa- vorite son of an old mother, wanted te ambition.
 His mother was infirm and needed
 his care and attention. She begged hin l to wait until she was gone. Then you
 will be free" she said. And his answer was: T belong to God" He acted as if he did not belong to any one. He stepped over his mother prayers and went to the mission field Shortly after his departure his mother died in an insane asylum. Another:
 Two daughters of feeble old mother announced to her that they intended to change their religion, which they had a right to do.
 But the mother could not see the
 matter from their viewpoint. She was too old to change her religious feelings. Ono eHtfcdttu HcT SiTiS to Wdtu unIll Sne passed away. The daughters did not wait. They disregarded the plea of the old mother. She was prostrated and is on the verge of death.
 One more:
 A worthy old man of eighty years lived in an Iowa village. His daughter, who was a widow, determined to move
 to California The father pleaded that ahe wait the short time he might have to live.
 The daughter was obdurate. She of
 fered to take the old man with her. but he said he could not leave his friends
 of lifetime. a
 The daughter went to the coast. Two
 weeks afterward the father died.
 These are not pretty stories.

Or do they understand?

Or do they understand? When will they put stop to the ruin of body and soul made possible by the wrongs done to their helpless sisters? Austin W. Mann died in January of this year.
 Who was he?
 You will not find his name in any deaf mutes of this country and of the world he was not generally known. MT. Mann was the spiritual comforter at large of the speechless. In boyhood, just when he began to realize the use of language, he was deprived of speech and hearing as the result of severe attack of scarlet fever.
 But he made a great struggle to get an education.
 In a way he was ambitious.
 He wanted to bless and help his brothers and sisters in affliction, those who were forever deaf to the sweet sounds of earth and dumb to the ex- precision of thought and feeling
 He became one of the most cultured of the deaf mutes of the country.
 And of them all he was certainly the most gifted. After a time his attention was at tracted to religion. and he became a minister of the gospel. His field of la bcr was the whole country, and he had no associates or assistants
 He was sort of minister plenipo- tentiary to the dumb.
 Travelling over many states, often without money to pay expenses, he vis- fted state institutions and cities, where ne organized missions and societies for improvement. Sometimes he preached every night in the week.
 He labored incessantly
 His personal presence among the des mutes was a benediction, and he was everywhere held fin utmost affection.
 And now
 This man who. though dumb, spoke to souls has gone to his rest, and everywhere. though their lips be mute there is utter mourning of the spirit anl0n9 the speechless.

their fellows and desire the progres. of the race is plain. Preach optimism. Practice It.
 Let not pessimism and the fear ol what is. not have dominion over you.
 Does the shadow of shadow appear over your sun? It is only a shadow and will rapidly pass.
 Laugh at the shadow
 Laugh out loud!
 Laughter is conta gious, as fear is contagious. Fear cannot live in the at- mosphere of laughter.
 It Is in your power to laugh at foolish fears and make the world laugh with you or to cringe and cry out your fears and make the world afraid.
 Alone.
 Do you know there are lot of people who pronounce that word with fear? To be alone. if only for short time, is regarded as a bore, it not worse.
 You wonder why?
 Because they have never become ac- quainted with themselves and do not know how to entertain themselves for single hour. They really need to be in troduced to themselves.
 Solitude?
 ! There Is need of it. The mere friction of mingling with other persons becomes wearing, however little one may realize it. And there can he no real culture of self except there be occasional solitude.
 Watch the faces on the street.
 See the set expression, the lines of solic- itude and weariness, the worn looks. How seldom you see calm and happy face!

 She is woman with a good sized fam fly and many cares. but she Is careful to take certain hour to be alone for a short fime each day. when she lies down for reSt and relaxation.

al moment, the fulfillment of the
hopes and ambitions of years, the
placing of Luther College upon a
stable and substantial footing among
the colleges of America Every read
er knows how this has been raised,
the story has often been told in these
columns. How Hon. j. j. Hill of
ST. Paul started the subscription with
$50, 900, and how the additional
100000 required has been raised
among the friends of the college. 1t
is greatly to the credit Of Decorah
that very large percentage of the
amount has been raised in this city
and immediate vicinity. 1t will re-
main for all time TO come a monu-

anniversary of this institution, and
the interest only from this fund will

Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration a
Great Success in Every
Way.
LARGE CROWDS IN ATTENDANCE
General Conference of Synod, Alumni
Banquet, Presentation of $3.50, 900
Endowment, dwelling of Luther
Statue and Oratorio Messiah.

The Golden Jubilee of Luther Col
lege has been fittingly commemorate
ed with one of the most elaborately
planned and executed public festiy-
tiles ever held in this part of the
state. 1t was an unqualified success
in every way, large crowds, good
weather, splendid speakers, and no
disappointments in carrying out the
arrangements uniting to make the
success which everyone interested
hoped the celebration might be.
A large number of the ministers
of the Synod were here from all
parts of the United States to attend
the General Conference OF the Synod
which opened on Wednesday. The
sessions were all of character
which indicated the impressive en-
thusiasm of the occasion, and a fit
ting preliminary to the celebration
of the fiftieth anniversary OF the
founding of the alma mater of most
OF those participating.
The semi-centennial celebration
proper opened with the alumni ban
quet at the college auditorium on
Friday evening. in which upwards of
four hundred alumni, old friends of
the college and representative citi-
Zens participated. II was a fitting
prelude to the festivities of Satur-
day and Sunday, and the inclemency
of the weather did not lessen the
en ioymcnt OF the occasion in the
iesst. The menu served 5y .hr col
fege forces in a commendable man
ner. was as follows:

Luther College, spoke for Decorah
and what the city and adjacent coun-
try had done for Luther College, how
lit had responded Loyalty and gen.
erously to every request ever made
by the college, and the Indebtedness
of the college to the city. Beautiful
solos were sung by Miss Preus and
Rev. Kvale, and a poem by Rev.
-. d. Bothne of Ulen, Minnesota
dedicated to Prof. Larsen was read.
1t was altogether delightful occa-
sion.
The hard rain of Friday evening
and all through the night kept large
numbers of our country people away
from the festivities of Saturday, but
in spite of this fact the crowd was
auditorium. Hundreds of visitors
had come in from all over the coun-
try, and Friday evening the train
from the north was loaded with pas
sengers for the Jubilee at Decorah.
Friends of the college opened their
homes to entertain the out of town
guests, and it proved to be the larg-
est similar crowd ever in the city.
The program Saturday morning
opened with beautiful music by the
Luther College Concert Band. 1t was
great treat to hear this splendid
organization again, and especially
did the old students of Luther fill
with pride as they played. After the
Torrison of the First Lutheran
church warmly welcomed the visit
ors, and then the Jubilee Address
was delivered by the Rt. Rev. Prof.
Fl. G. Stub, d. D., President of the
Synod, and it was an address that
will long linger in the minds of all
who heard it. 1t was a scholarly eff
fort, significant of the ability, the
power and the enthusiasm of this
great minister and professor, and
deeply impressed the large audience.
Then came probably the greatest
event of the weeks festivities, the
presentation by Prof. Stub to Presi-
dent Preus of the new permanent en-
dowment of two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars (S250,000) which
hse been isad among the friends
of Luther College during the past
few months. 1t was a great triumph

Associate Justice John Nj. Harlan,
Oldest member of the supreme court
of the United States died Saturday
at the age of rs years. Justice Har-
Ian was i'll less than a week with
bronchitis. He was a conspicuous
figure in Kentucky politics for many
years and was at one time a candi-
date for the republican nomination
for vice-president of the United
States. He was regarded as the fore
most authority on constitutional law
in this country.

One by one our idols fall 1t has
just come to light that Senator Cum
Minis, while governor of Iowa, re-
ceived fee of $1,000 for an opinion
on the franchise of articles of re-
incorporation of the Des Moines Gas
company. The Journal is not finding
fault with the senator for getting a
legal fee for a legal opinion while
governor of Iowa, but just suppose,
for instance, that Lafayette Young,
while senator, L. NJ Shaw while gov
ernor, Major Lacey while in congress
or dear old Senator Allison while in
the senate, had received large legal
fees for giving an opinion on the
articles of incorporation of some hat
ed public corporation? What then?

Editors Note+The editor of
this paper has prevailed upon
his father, Rev. III. H. Green,
d. d., to write an autobiogra-
ply of his life, to be preserved
as a matter of record among
his children and grandchildren.
While 1t was written with no
intention of being made public,
yet his life has been filled with
such varied experiences, dating
from his birth in England, boy
hood, soldier, clergyman, legis-
lator, ETC., that I'VE find much
which we believe will be read
with interest by the public, and
we will therefore from time to
time as space permits publish
sections of this autobiography,
should it prove of sufficient in
terest to continue.)

pale, putty race carried deatnly
aspect; his mouth was filled with
tobacco, from which little yellow riv-
ulets were meandering down from
it's sides, ad libitum ad nauseum; his
unkept hair hung about his head, a
| tangled mass of faded yellow strands
jumbled together in confusion looked
as though il had never known the
use of a brush or a comb, and might
have been designed as covert for
the unscanny creaping things which
are said to inhabit the southern
swamp. There he stood, with his
feet wide apart and his hands thrust
down deep into his trouser pockets,
as though he would fain bury them
out of sight, his eyes fixed upon us
with benumbed, detected, disappoint-
ed stupified look, which have never
been able to efface from my memory.
What is the matter with that fell
low?" said a voice behind me, and
turning around l Immediately recog-
nized Mr.. Robert NJ. La Toilette of
Wisconsin, at that time a member of
congress, and at present United
States Senator from the Badger
state.
Why" | replied, I would think
it might be due to malaria and to-
bacco. He looks as though he might
be the subject of one and a devotee
Of the other"
YES" he remarked, lit certainly
looks like it; life must be a grue-
some thing in these swamps; poor
fellow, he hasn't much chance here
"You are Mr.. La Toilette, are you
not?" l inquired
That's my name. Where have I
met yOu?" he asked.
Then told him that l had heard
him in political speech at Manches-
ter, Iowa not long before, and called
his attention to an interruption that
had occurred in the meeting. Uncle
Henry Barr. an old fashioned Irish
Methodist, (since deceased) who was
present was greatly pleased with
something Mr.. La Toilette had said,
and in his quick, impulsive way,
shouted, Amen" The speaker, not
catching what he said, turned toward
the old man with an inquiring ex-
preston upon his face and said,
"eh?"
"Oi said Amin" uncle Henry
answered with a pleased look.
oh" And the speech was con-
tinued as though nothing had occur
red to interrupt it,.

Lafollette said. IL thought at first it

fuse me-
few miles further UP the river
We were given an opportunity to be-
come acquainted with the postal ia
cilities enjoyed by the residents along
the river. AS our boat approached IA
small landing, a little stir caused me
TO look up, when | saw one of the
hands tying two or three letters and
paper or two to the end of a long
pole all ready for delivery. AS we
passed without stopping at the land
ing, the pole was swung out over the |
side of the boat, the mail was seized
by man who was standing ready. I
and deftly placed another little
bunch on the end of the pole in place
OF that he had removed as we slowly
passed by. That was rural delivery
in embryo.

THE REASON
FOR The SUIT
HAS CEASED

Contendlng that all the grounds
which may have existed for the bring
ing of the action, have ceased to be,
Attorney General Crawford today
filed motion with the clerk of the
circuit court in which he asks the
court to dismiss the case of Daniel
e. Powers against f. W. Benson, sec
retary of state, and State Treasurer
Steel.
This suit was brought by Powers
for the purpose Of restraining Assis-
tant Attorney General Van Winkle
from drawing his salary on the
ground that the law did not provide
for the creation of such an office.
The state demurred to the complaint
but 1t was over ruled by Judge Har-
ris, OF Eugene, but an injunction was
never issued.
The attorney general now takes the
position that the appropriations made
by the Legislature two years ago
have been exhausted and that the
last legislature through a bill Great
ed the office Of assistant attorney
general and also provided for his
salary and that, therefore, there are
no grounds left for the further prose-
cution of the suit.

CLAIMS LOWE
MANUFACTURED.
THE SECURITY

Upon a complaint signed by c. F.
Van Allen Deputy District Attorney
Winslow today directed that war
rant be issued for the arrest Of
Charles s. Lowe on the charge Of OBJ
tanning money by false pretenses.
The offense is alleged TO consist in
Lowe prevailing upon Van Allen to
90 security on note for 5000 by
falsely representing to him that he
had $500 interest in contract for
the conveyance Of a certain tract Of
real property. Prior to signing the
note Van Allen had Lowe execute a
contract giving him the equity held
in the property as security and this
document will be the principal evil
dence introduced against Lowe to
prove the charge preferred against
him.
When the note fell due Lowe failed
to meet It and Van Allen paid It. Az
ter paying It he made an investiga-
tion as to his security and found
that Lowe had never had an interest
in the land as represented by him,
and at once took steps to arrest him.

MAKES COLDS OR
GRIPPE VANISH

You can surely end Grippe and
break up the most severe cold either
in head, chest back, stomach or
limbs, by taking a dose Of Pape's
Cold Compound every two hours un-
til three consecutive doses are taken.
It promptly relieves the most mis-
cradle neuralgia pains, headache,
dullness, head and nose stuffed up,
feverishness, sneezing, sore throat,
mucous catarrhal discharges, run
ming of the nose, soreness, stiffness
and rheumatic twinges.
Take this harmless compound as
directed, without interference with
your usual duties and with the
knowledge that there is on other
medicine, made anywhere else in the
world, which will cure your cold or
end Grippe misery as promptly and
without any other any other assis-
tance or bad after-effects as a 25
cent package of Pape's Cold Com
pound, which any druggist in the
world can supply.
Pape's Cold Compound is the re-
suit of three years research at a
cost of more than $4,000, and con-
tains no quinine, which we have con-
clusively demonstrated is not effec-
tive in the treatment of colds or
grippe.

COMPANY MUST
RELA[ PAVENIENTS

The oregonian this morning says:
The Hassam Paving Company prob
ably viii be called upon to tear up
and relay the pavement on East
Twenty-frst street, between Division
and Powell streets distance of
about eight blocks, which was not ac-
cepted on account of defective ce-
ment. The same condition exists on
the part laid on Milwaukee street,
between Beacon and Holgate streets.
Only the west side Of the street was
paved. Mayor Simon mas assured the
property owners that no defective
work on Milwaukee street will be ac-
cepted. To remove the pavement on
East Twenty-frst street will be ex-
pensive, and probably cost more than
to put 1t down.

Thursday evening.
The game promises to be a hard,
fast one and will probably be the
last one Of the season for William

dent of winning from the Pullman
bunch. The Washington State Col
lege will make a tour of the Oregon
colleges, playing o. A. c. first to-
night She will play Oregon at Eu-
gene two nights in succession and
the next night will meet Willamette
The scores made against the Wash

strength of Willamette and Oregon
Oregon won from Pullman on her
northern trip and beat every other
team in Washington with the excep-
tion Of being defeated in one Of It's
two games with the University OF
Washington at Seattle. Willamette
has won from o. A. G. in two games
and defeated the fast Mt Angel col
lege team twice and DR.. Sweetland
