were set in the large double parlors,
covers being laid for "a. Leo Capser
and Edward Hall served the guests
from a large table in the hall, pre-
sided over by Mrs. Brehr.
Prior to the serving Of the dinner at
one o'clock the reunited family sang
many songs. They are splendid sing
ers and the music was first-class.
Among the songs were CLONE, Sweet
Home" "A Letter From Home, Sweet
Home." "Star Spaagled Banner"
Great Gsd, We Praise Thee" "Way
Down Upon the Suanee River" and
others.
After dinner some very impressive
talks were made by Henry, the oldest
son, and Hon. Joseph Capser, the IA
Their.
As POSTMASTER Of the occasion Hen
ny related some Of the hardships
through which his parents passed in
the earlier days besides giving some
Of his own experiences of boyhood
days. On behalf of the children and
grandchildren Henry in well chosen
remarks presented his aged parents
with bag of gold coins.
Not many people are privileged to
live together for fifty years as man
and wife. Still less rear a family of
seven, and they in turn rear families
without q single death in half a Gen.
fury. A most remarkable achievement.
In talking with the Herald man fol-
towing the event Hon. Jos. Capser
stated that he and his aged wife full
ly appreciate the blessings which had
been bestowed upon them all these
long years. They are proud of their
children and their achievements.
Sank Centreites generally rejoice
with Mr.. and Mrs. Capser in their
having practically reached the half
century mark in their married life.
That they may be spared to enjoy
the society of each other and their
children is the wish of the entire COM
munity.

FAIR DATES SEPT. II, IS, 70.
Stearns County Organization VIII
Hold Show Week Following
State Fair.

At meeting of the West Central
Fairs Association held at Morris Mon
day evening the question Of complet-
ing the organization Of a racing cir
cult was considered, as well as the
dates for this years shows. AS pre-
dicted in the Herald several weeks
ago Sank Centre would be the logical
place to start the circuit following the
state fair, and the dates agreed upon
are Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
Sept. II, 10 and 10. The state fair
will be held week later than usual
this year which necessarily sets all
the county exhibits back.
A plan is now under way to incor-
porate all the nineteen counties in the
West Central Development Associa-
ton into a fair organisation, or at
least those counties which hold fairs.
This would make about four or five
very classy racing circuits and in

half the money. A meeting will be
held at the Merchants Hotel st. Paul,
Wednesday evening Of next week to
consider this very question. Secre-
tary Aygarn of the Agricultural So
ciety Of Stearns County and Ben Du
Bots secretary of the West Central
Minnesota Fairs Racing Circuit at
tended the meeting at Morris Monday
evening and report that they were
royalty entertained.
At a meeting of the Stearns county
society held in the Commercial Club
rooms last evening John McGibbon,
NJ. D. Aygarn and Ben Dubois were
elected delegates to attend the ses-
sions ofFederated County Fairs Assoc
citation to be held in st. Paul next
week.
The report of the committee having
the short course in charge showed a
balance of $23 after all outstanding
bills had been paid.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1914-01-08

One hundred and fifty six invitations
were mailed out and in spite Of the
extremely unfavorable weather over
$50 responded. The affair was held
in the auditorium.
On the evening in question Rev.
ART and Messrs. Unger and
Schwartzbauer were busily engaged
at the parish house preparing the an
nual financial report Of the congre-
cation. About eight o'clock the bus
drove up to the residence and infor-
med the pastor that there was an mr.
gent call for him up town. He de-
INJURED on leaving his work but final
ly yielded to the advice Of the balance
Of the committee. He was taken d.
rectly to the auditorium and while st.
Ceclia's choir were singing "es ist der
Tag des Hern" (meaning in English,
"This is the Day Of Our Lord") the
beloved pastor was escorted to the
stage and seated in large rocker.
Under normal conditions Rev. ART is
not excitable but the gathering on the
first of the New Year completely ov-
erwhelmed him for the time being.
At the conclusion of the singing
Mr.. Unger on behalf of the congre-
cation presented Rev. Art with a
box well filled with gold coins. The
pastor responded most feelingly and
after more singing by the choir
bounteous refreshments prepared by
the ladies Of the church, were served.
While none but members Of the con-
gregation attended the function nom
Catholics appreciate Rev. Arts
worth as a pastor and citizen and join
with the Herald in the hope that he
may be continued to carry on his work
in this community for many years to
come.

remarks were that it was at least pre-
posterous for any other papers to
think Of putting IN a bid.
= Business Manager Schiplin of the
Times produced what he claimed was
a. tabulated statement Of the manner
in which the Herald had carried out
the contract in the past year. Quite
naturally his county exchanges did
not send him papers with supplements
containing the county work and he
jumps at the conclusion that the con-
tract has been fiagrantly violated.
His talk was bunk, pure bunk and
nothing more.
Years ago a soft drink known as
"moxie" was largely advertised rs q
tonic for nerve. We cannot help but
wonder what particular brand Of this
beverage "Little Joe" uses.
In closing the Herald wishes to ex-
press its appreciation to Commits
sioner Garfield Of this district for the
valiant fight he put up in behalf Of
the whole people Of the county. COM
missioner Herman of Holdingford is
also entitled to like commentator.

BOOZE SELLING TO KIDS.

Another boy about Is or 16 years of
age was picked up on the streets the
first of the week in badly intoxicat-
ed condition. This pernicious practice
has been going onat irregular inter
walls for some time. The city author
tiles are doing their best to get some
tangible evidence, but the kids are
usually unwilling witnesses. Perse
verance on the part of the officials Is
sure to bring success and when they
land some one will be up against a
mighty hard game. Any man who
will deliberately sell intoxicants to =
minor is entitled to and should receive
all the law can give him.

KARL sCHEURER COMING
Second Number of Commercial Club
Course Billed for Next Tues
day Evening.

Inc second NUMBER OF Cne Sek1eS "a
five entertainments to be given under
the auspices of the Sank Centre Com
mercial Club and furnished by the
General Extension Division Of the
State University, will be Tuesday eve
ing, Jan. 18th, at which time the
famous Scheurer Trio will be the at
traction.
Mr.. Scheurer is the second concert
master of the well known Symphony
orchestra of Minneapolis, and is gen.
orally recognized as one of the fore
most violinists in America. In speak
ing of his work the Minneapolis Trib-
une recently said:
"The soloist Of the afternoon was
Karl Scheurer, violinists and second
concertmaster of the orchestra. Mr..
Scheurer is an artist to his finger-tips
and gave lovely reading OF this fine
concerto. The exceptionally beauti-
full second movement, in which a
striking melodious theme is given
mastery treatment, was the high
point of the concert. Mr.. Scheurer
was enthusiastically received and re-
sponded to insistent recalls"
Mr.. Scheurer will be assisted by
his wife Mrs. Swanhild Johnson
Scheurer, an exceptionally clever pi-
anist and Madame Meta Fust-Schum-
ann noted soprano.
Under ordinary circumstances 1T
would be almost impossible for city
of the size Of Sank Centre to book
an attraction of this class. They cost
a snug sum and it will undoubtedly be
the very finest entertainment from q
musical standpoint ever given in the
city.
The seats will go on sale at Feslers
Saturday. Season ticket holders can
get their seats reserved upon payment
of ten cents extra. The general adj
mission for this number has been
placed at fifty cents, with ten cents
extra for reserved seats.

ONLY ONE ESCAPED.
\ Whole Bavarian Battery Is Wiped
Out OF Existence.

St. Louis, Dec. 2S.-That an entire
Bavarian batter, save one man, was
killed in battle, is related in a letter
received here today from Mrs. Bertha
Won Walshauser of Grosskohln Bach,
Bavaria. Mrs. Won Walshauser wrote
that her son John was the only mem
Der of the battery to survive. The let
ter continues:
John has fought in sixteen battles
since August 5. He still is in the best
of health. He has had good luck,
but we never know what will happen.
After his company was annihilated he
was made an officer OF another battery
on the field of battle. He fought with
his new soldiers until help arrived He
was then carried off the field ex-
hausted. After the third day he was
back at the front, and is now in the
Argonne region of France
THE soldiers who are fighting SO
gloriously, for their fatherland, are
suffering terrible hardships. Already
we have many wounded to care for.
Many of the parents of the boys who
have left here and are at the front
have died of grief.
''Where possible the soldiers have
been sent home for burial. There are
few such cases, however, but when
the news of death comes church Serv-
ices are held in the village church.
Cards are given away, containing pic
lures Of the dead soldiers, and on all
cards is the inscription Better dead
than to see our fatherland ruined
