LAFE YOUNG JULY 18th.
tation to Speak in
DEBORAH.

The committee in charge of the
preliminary arrangements for the
Fourth of July celebration in De-
corah announce that former United
States Senator Lafayette Young of
Des Moines has accepted their invi-
tation to deliver the Fourth of July
address in DEBORAH at the monster
celebration here this year.
The committee is especially for
tunate in securing Senator Young for
this address. He is in greater de-
mand for public addresses than any
other speaker in the state if not in
the nation, is an orator of world
wide reputation, and will deliver an
address here we'll worth coming
many miles to hear.
His address to the DEBORAH Com
mercial Club last fall was master
piece, considered by many the great
est address ever delivered in the city.
Colonel Young is a great orator, a
distinguished man, notable Iowan,
and the committee is to be congratu-
Hated upon securing him.

CEMETERY IMPROVEMENTS.
Mortuary Chapel Reconstructed and
Other Substantial improvements
Being Made.

The work of rebuilding the mort
uary chapel a. Phelps cemetery is
nearly complete, and it has. been put
into splendid condition, which in
volved almost a complete rebuilding.
A new tile roof replaces the old roof,
handsome new ornamental glass Win
dows have been installed, two sets
of beautiful new bronze doors, the
lower part of the exterior cemented
and asphalted to keep out the moist
ure, the thing wainscoating inside
removed and replaced with hand
some pressed brick, the walls con-
creted, and in fact the whole struc-
ture rebuilt, modernized and beauti-
fed.
The concrete roadway from the
entrance to the tool house, construct
ed last fall, is a great improvement,
as we'll as the acquisition of a strip
of ground a rod wide the entire
north end of the cemetery. Along
the entrance and the north end
beautiful hedges will improve the
Landscape, and make our city of the
dead still more beautiful.

Publishing House improvements.

. Architect Turnock, who made the
plans for the Winneshiek Hotel, the
Winneshiek County State Bank and
other DEBORAH buildings, was out
from Chicago last week, going over
the plans for the remodeling and
addition to the Lutheran Publishing
House of this city. If the present
plans are adopted it means the con-
struction of a large addition to the
building and the .rengthening, beau
tifying and undermining of the pres
ent structure, which will at least
double the capacity of the large
plant. 1t is quite probable that work
will soon be started upon the new
building.

Peer stromme Talks to Norwea,ans.

Peer Stromme, the famous Norwe-
gian world traveller, spoke at the
Grand opera house last Friday even
ing to a small audience, under the
auspices of the Norske Selskab, upon
his recent tour of the world 1t was
very interesting talk, we are told.
Nj. Stromme is an able speaker and
has very pleasing style, which new
er fails to captivate his audience.
He tells us that he is soon to de-
part upon another tour about the
world. He has already been around
the world four times, but has an am
bition to visit every country on the
globe, and hopes to have done 50
within the next year or two.

TIE State Declamatory Contest.

1t was a matter of general regret
among the friends of Miss nellie
Jewell that she was not fortunate
enough to continue her unbroken
record of victories in the state ora
torical contest at Jefferson on Friday
night. Supt. Fleming accompanied
her, and says that she was very
proud of the showing she made, even
though the judges did not decide in
her favor. Frank Rehorst of New
Hampton won in the oratorical class,
Lenore MINIS Of Valley Junction in
the humorous class and Eunice Mey-
ers Of Traer in the dramatic class.

LITTLE GIRL DROWNED.
Eight Year Old Daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Aug. Hast Falls i'm
Creek and Browns.

Last evening between four and five
o'clock, Anna, the eight year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. August
Kast. was drowned, the little girl
falling into the creek on the John
Hageman farm, which is operated by
Mr.. and Mrs. Kast. The little girl
was missed for about half an hour,
and search instituted. On approach
ing the banks of the creek Mr. Kast
noticed the clothes of the girl pro-
truding from the water.
He Immediately jumped into the
water and brought to the shore the
lifeless body of their only child The
water in this place is about five feet
deep, and the supposition is that
while walking along the bank of the
creek she slipped and fell in.
Funeral services will be held to-
morrow, Friday morning, at $3.50 in
st. Francis church. The bereaved
family have the sympathy of the en-
tire community in their sad afflic-
tion.-Ossian Bee.

Piano For Crippled Boy.

A few weeks ago Ed. Waterbury
became interested in a little boy
named Harry Halvorson OF Canoe
township, who unfortunately is SER
iously crippled, but who has shown
particular musical ability, and sug-
gested the idea that those who had
no special interest in the Merchants
piano contest give their votes to him
The result has been that he is daily
receiving a large vote and promises
to be formidable competitor in the
contest. The thought is indeed q
kindly one, and may result in provid-
ing a piano for this unfortunate lit
tie boy, who otherwise could not
possibly get one. s

Base Ball Friday.

The opening game of the base ball
season in DEBORAH will be played on
Friday afternoon, between the De-
corah and Cresco high school teams,
at the fair grounds in this city. We
do not imagine that the long, cold
winter has dampened the ardor of
the rivalry between the two towns in
the least, and there promises to be
the same high old time on Friday
(friendly in every way, of course),
when the boys get together

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Former Resident of DecOrah Murders
His Wife and Then Commits
Suicide.

The sequel to a terrible crime in
which two former residents of De-
corah came to their death was the
bringing here on Monday from
Sloan Springs, Arkansas, of the re-
mains of Mrs. Agnes Bentley, aged
6S years, who was murdered by her
husband at their home on last We'd
nesday, April 10th. 1t is impossible
to procure authentic details of the
crime, but the most we can learn is
that for some time there had been
trouble between Mrs. Bentley and
her husband, that he had abused her,
and that she had made preparaf on3
to procure a divorce. The suppoGi-
ton seems to be that she told him
of this at the dinner table, when
they had some words, after which
she went upstairs to her room and
he followed her there and shot her
dead, then going into his room and
committing suicide. Mr. and Mrs.
Bentley were residents of DEBORAH
and of Freeport years ago, and were
we'll known here. Mrs. Bentley was
a sister of the Misses Cook, who
lived on Washington street for some
years.
The remains were inferred at
Phelps cemetery, Rev. DR.. NJ. Willet
officiating.
