from the cheering shouts in the city
an hour or so ago, we judge it likely
that Gen. Williams regiment arrived
here tonight.
Our regiment is armed and equip
ped" we'll and drilled well-so well in
deed, that many Virgiinans, if we say
so, have pronounced it the best in the
service. We have one Of the most gal
liant and energetic colonies to be found
anywhere and his men are worthy Of
him.
We regret to say that the regiment
has to give up it's Adjutant, Capt. j.
w. Avery, of your town. All the regi-
ments have lost this officer; there be-
ing no adjutant recognized in the Con-
federate service. President Davis Of
fered the captain lieutenancy in the
regular army, and would have detailed
him to attend to his recent duties; but
the captain refused to accept it, be-
cause, among other reasons, it would
have kept him for an indefinite period
in the army, possibly even after peace.
In parting with him, simple justice
compels us to say that we part with an
exceedingly agreeable officer and gen.
tleman..
Our valued young friend, Lieutenant
E. b. Clinton, Of the Jasper Light In
fantry, has been detailed to fill this va
cancy His thorough acquaintance
with tactics, his laborous habits Of
study and his invariable presence at
his post, make him emphatically "the
right man in the right place"
The health and spirits Of the regi-
ment were never better. None Of us
are spelling for a fight" but all are
eager to be at the post of duty and are
ready and willing to risk life in driv
ing the craven invader from our soil.
We will write you again from Ma
nassas at our first convenience. Mean
while direct to Richmond, all letters,
etc, which will be forwarded.
Yours in hurry at random,
Our Corporal.

Prof. Carlo A. sperati has noti-
fed the hospital authorities that the
Luther College Concert Band will
give a benefit concert for the De-
corah Hospital some time in the

Prof. Sperati is arranging a
brand new program for the occa-

of hearing something fine by this
popular band 1t is one of the great
est concert bands in the country to-
day, and we are sure that when this
benefit concert is given, the date of
which will be announced soon, that
our people will respond literally.
Prof Sperati and his musicians
are deserving of the thanks of all
our citizens for their generous offer.
1t goes without saying that pack
ed house will greet the band for this
worthy cause on the evening of their
concert.

OCTOBER.

October always has been a busy
month in history. In this month
three years ago Madero was elected
president of Mexico. Since then
that country has sometimes had
half a dozen presidents and some
times none In October of 1871 oc-
CURED the disastrous fire in Chica-
go, but to see the city now one
would not think anything had ever
been destroyed there. The first
overland mail was dispatched in Oc-
tober, 1858, travelling probably thir-
ty-five miles a day. We now shoot
it around underground at rate
of seventy miles an hour and still
wonder why the mails are so slow.
Columbus discovered America some
five hundred years ago this month
and his countrymen have been
swarming into it ever since. The
first newspaper in New York City
was printed in October 1925. Now
there is a paper for every two hun
dred residents in the town. The first
pocket watch was made in October
1910, was about the SIZE of skillet
lid in diameter and even larger in
actual value. Now our homes have
watch for every member Of the
family EXCEPT when the tax assessor
is due.
With chilly winds and changing
skies October spreads before our
eyes great fields of golden colored
hues, and yet we men have got the
blues. We realize the scenery's

they had come 10 surprise Ole Ham
Mr.. Jackwitz, now of st. Paul,

of the talk Mr.. Nelson handed Mr.
Quandahl a large purse as token
of good will from his friends. Adj
dresses were also made by Col.
Brandt, DR.. Doe, DR.. Stabo and L. S.

Der of selections.
The whole affair was a success
and Mr.. Quandahl was more than
once reminded of the fact that his

the fact that he returned to Decor

communication between Mexico City
and Vera Cruz is menaced by the con-

Of Brigadier General Funston to the
war department. From reliable
sources in close touch with the con-
stitutionalists' agents here, it was
learned that the particular object of
the activity of Carranza's troops in
Vera Cruz state is to cut off all means
OF retreat for Huerta and his cabinet,
in the event that they determine to

MAY END MEDIATION.

Niagara Falls, June 0.-Differences
of opinion are so serious as to imperil
the continuance of the conference
here, developed between the American
delegates and the mdiators, on two
vital points there was fiat disagree
ment: First, the mediators, presum-
ably, are representing the viewpoint
of the Mexican delegates and insisting
that the provisional president of Mex
leo be neutral and not have been an
active partisan in the constitutional
lists cause. The American delegates
emphatically stated that unless a
choice falls upon a man of distinctly
constitutionalist sympathies, there
will be no hope of the constitutional
lists acceptance of any peace program.
Secondly, the United States deter
mined method of transition to new
government must not be through the
appointment by Huerta as minister
Of foreign affairs. Such a man, if
agreed upon for provisional president,
would, the Americans argue, consti-
tute recognition of the Huerta gov
ernment.

Home, Sweet Home was being
sung for the first time just 81 years

tic stage. It's author, John Howard
Payne, posed as dramatic critic in

cessful on the stage; then came 20
years Of varying success abroad as
actor, manager and playwright. Press
ed for funds, ,'he Sold the opera Clara
for $3.50. In this was Home, Sweet
Home!" Payne had written it, re.
calling his early cottage home at

phenomenal run and the song
brought a fortune to it's publishers.
Payne never received another cent
from it. He later became United
