SACRED CONCERT A SUCCESS.
Several Hundred People Enjoy the
Music and Beauties Of the New
City Park on Sunday.

The sacred concert given by the
DEBORAH Merchants Band at the City
Park Sunday afternoon and evening
was enjoyed by large gathering of
people. The music was beautiful
and the cool and beautiful park af-
forded all a delightful day. About
zoe people attended the concert in
the afternoon and many had brought
their lunch baskets along and had
picnic supper. The afternoon pro-
Gram commenced at three O'Clock
and ended at five o'clock. The eve
ming program was from 1880 to $50
and was enjoyed by a large crowd.
Mr.. Coup, who has charge of the
band, deserves praise for his won
derful work in instruction and devel-
opent. The band has twenty-five
pieces this summer, and is one of
the best DEBORAH has ever had. Mr..
Charles Cove of st. Paul one of the
old DEBORAH band boys, was home
visiting and assisted them on Sun
day. The band stand in the park
is situated in a very suitable place.
A natural amphitheater being form
ed by the sloping ground.
This concert was the work of the
band boys alone. The only thing
they get is the profit from refresh
ment stands. The people appreciate
this work, as was shown by the
large attendance and by the many
complimentary remarks and by re-
quests to continue the concerts ev-
cry two weeks. Many out of town
people autoed to DEBORAH and enjoy
ed it.

The Burr Oak Field Day.

The good people of Burr Oak have
certainly been hoodooed in their
public gatherings this year. On the
day of their annual old settlers re-
union pain prevented it being held,
and yesterday, when they had adver-
tised a Field Day, rain in the after
neon stopped the program just as
it was gotten under way. The ball
game between DEBORAH and Burr Oak
was called in the second inning,
Score to 0 in Decorah's favor. We
hope that yet sthey will be able to
pick out fair day and give rousing
time to the many who like to go TO
the good old town of Burr Oak.

HAWAIIAN BALL TEAM COMING.
Native Hawaiian Base Ball Team
Will Play DEBORAH Next
Monday.

The Hawaiian curse of death is
an awful thing-Jack London des-
cribes it in one of his stories. If
a member of the tribe offends his fell
lows, they take part of his body,
such as a finger or toe nail clipping
or lock of hair, and with fearful
ceremonies pronounce a curse of
death. 1t is the belief that the vic
tim of the curse sickens and dies.
A genuine base ball team of these
strange people will play the DEBORAH
team at the Fair grounds on next
Monday, July 2S, at $3.50 p. m.

Further proof that the finger print
on the bloody Ratchet handle had
been made by the ring finger of
Angelo Ceeeriello was given by Ex-

on the witness stand. Mr.. Schwartz

Laudisi said Ceceriello told him,
MY brother and my sister-in-law,
they can hold me or they can betray
me- On prompting by Mr.. Azzoli,
Mr.. McDermit at once objected to the
use of the word betrayed" as inter-
preted by Rev. Coltoti. Mr.. Azzoli
claimed that the word used by the
witness had been ruin me-" And

The establishment of "confden-
tial exchange between the various
local charitable organizations was
recommended at the meeting and the
matter was placed with the new
registrar of the bureau, Miss Cyr lie
S. Frank. The exchange Is method
of keeping track of all families helped
by the various societies. Miss Frank
has recently come to her work in the
local bureau from Philadelphia,
where she was in charge of similar
exchange.
Reports from the various commit
tees showed a gratifying progress in
the special lines along which the
work of the bureau has branehed out.
The hospital social service committee
and the Potter's field committee re-
ported a satisfactory advance toward
their objects. The Provident Savings
Fund department.. whose function Is

families and individuals were dealt
with during the month. OF these
ninety-three We're new cases. The
total money spent on the relief work

and told Angelo that it sad a knife
had been found. I asked him what
he would say about that. He replied.
according to Laudisi, that re would
say that woman had been using II
to pick dandelions.
Laudisi then explained that the
reason Ceceriello had ceased to talk
to him after Parisi had reached the
county jail, on August 81 last, was
due to the fact that Parish, in the
presence of Laudisi, had warned
Ceceriello against talking to Laudisi,
as the latter was talking to County
Detective DeRogatis and Court In
terpreter Joseph Federico.
1t was Just the noon hour when Lau-
dist was turned over to Mr. McDermii
for cross examination, and for full
hour the latter tried to make Laudisi
contradict some of the statements he
had previously made. 1t was of nc
avail. however, as the latter stuck
stubbornly to his story, and at times
even amplified 1t.
