FRANK ROBERTSON COMING.
Next Number of Lecture Course
Will be Robertson on Norway"
March 25th.

1t is necessary only to mention
the name of Robertson to Decorah-
ians to send a thrill OF delight
through them, for we have in the
past. years never had a more popu-
lar illustrated lecturer on the var
ious lecture courses. He has been
here twice, and both times delight
edShis audiences. His lectures on
Russia and South America were
fine, but his coming lecture on Nor
way is said to surpass anything of
the kind ever seen.
Roberson's beautiful illustrations
are in class by themselves. We
have seen pictures of this character
in all parts of the country, but moth
ing to compare with Roberson's $.
They are a delight to the eye, and
are well worth seeing even without
the lecture, but together they make
strong combination. Mr. Rober-
son has no superior as an illustrat-
ed lecturer, and if you want a de
lightful evenings entertainment we
advise you to come to this lecture.

MRS. COL. HUGHES DEAD.
Old and Much Esteemed Resident
of DecOrah Passed Away
Last Evening.

While it has been known for
some time that her death was but
question of days, yet the news of
the passing of Mrs. Col. d. H..
Hughes at her home on the corner
of Broadway and River streets, at
$50 o'clock last evening, cast a
gloom of sorrow over the city, for
she was known in every home and
beloved by all. For some months
she had been suffering from can
Ger of the stomach and other COM
plications.
We regret that it has been i'm
possible for us to procure a COM
plete obituary of this good woman
for this issue. Her maiden name
was Adaliza Matteson, and she was
over eighty years, having been mar
ried to D. H. Hughes in Watertown,
Jefferson county, N. Y, in March,
1855, Immediately thereafter COM
ing to Decorah, being among the
earliest settlers, he engaging in the
practice of law. When the war
broke out, and her young husband
answered the call to arms, acquit-
ting himself with marked distinc-
ton, she was just as loyal and sac
rificing at home, and since he laid
down his life for his county Aug.
z, 1868, she took up the burden,
and through all these years she has
been all that good mother and
true citizen could be. Her life has
been the history of Decorah, and
her home in many ways a home for
the public. In her passing is re-
moved a pioneer who was loved by
everyone who knew her, a woman
who has faithfully fulfilled her mis-
sion in life, and the mourning is
general and genuine. The son, City
Clerk F. NJ Hughes, and the daugh-
ters, Miss Lou Hughes and Mrs. c.
w. Ammon, have the sympathy Of
all in their bereavement
The funeral services will be held
tomorrow Thursday afternoon,
from the home, Rev. DR.. NJ. Willett
officiating, with interment at Phelps
cemetery.

Ole NJ Anderson, who recently

at Forest City on Saturday, after
an extended illness, and the remains
were brought to Decorah that night,
the funeral being held from the
home of his brother, Geo. M. Ander-
son of Frankville township, and the
Washington Prairie church on Mon
day afternoon, Rev. Paul Koren Of
ficiating. He was fifty-nine years
of age, and for a good many years
was a travelling salesman. Some
years ago he opened store in De-
corah, but sold it year or two ago
on account of failing health. He
will be kindly remembered by many
old friends and acquaintances in
this county.

as one often sees in the large cities.
During the past two weeks a force
of assistants has been busy helping
him unpack and arrange the new
