HEAD NEBRASKA'S
difference DEAD
Rev. F. N. Swanberg, Graduate
of Augustana, Prominent in
Ministry, Passes.

News of the death Of Rev. F. N.
Swanberg, president of the Nebraska
conference of Augustana synod, was
received yesterday at Augustana col
lege. Death was due to hardening of
the arteries. Although it was known
that Rev. Swanberg's health had not
been good during recent months his
condition was not considered serious
and news of his sudden passing comes
as a decided shock to his many
friends here with whom he was very
popular.
Although details of his death are
lacking, it is known that he preached
in his church at Holdrege, Neb., last
Sunday with unusual vigor. 1t is
thought that this proved too severe
a strain TO his already weakened
heart and FASTENED his death.
Mr.. Swanberg had been president
of the Nebraska conference for five
years. He presided over the recent
meeting of the conference about a
month ago, and was reelected to office
at that time. He was one of the most
congenial ministers in the synod, and
was very popular with both his fel
( low clergy and the laity.
Deceased was born in Gotland
Sweden, Dec. 6, 1858. He came tc
this country in 1872 and soon after
/ wards entered Augustana college
which was located at Paxton, Ill. He
graduated from the seminary depart
ment in 1888 and was ordained June
/ II of the same year at Red Wing
MINI. He has held several importan
charges since that time, principal!
{ in Nebraska. Nothing is known her,

physical burdens Of he campaigns.

The chicken pie supper given las

great success. The SIP when was

meeting the expenses of tn: student
body. The high school wishes 10
thank the people of Caldwell for their

The football squad are doing their
best to show their appreciation to the

given them.
The new football suits have arrived
and are now being initiated.
Both the high school and the COL
lege football squad had their first
practice game of the season last
Thursday when they met on the coll
lege gridiron. The score was to 0
in favor of the high school. The score
however does not accurately indicate
the relative strength of the two teams.
Neither team has gotten down to real
work in their preliminary practice and
neither lineup is what it will be later
on.
The Caldwell schools won the fol-
lowing premiums offered by the Can
yon County fair association: a piano,
steel range, and an electric range. The
schools desire to thank T. M. Nichol,
whose efficient management made
possible such awards. They also
hank the donors for their liberality
n the matter of special prizes.
Miss Lena Buckley of the Washing
