Here From Riverside, Cal.

Mr.. and Mrs. B. o. Marsh went
cut to the Glenn Pilgrim home Fri
day evening on a short visit, and
while there had the pleasure of
meeting VIM. N. Pilgrim, OF River
side, Cal, who has been here on a
visit to his brother Charles. OF
course Mr.. Marsh greatly enjoyed
the visit, for in Mr.. Pilgrim he met
a man who has been bandmaster
for forty years, and although rs
years of age, can show most of the
younger musician cards and spades
on the cornet. He carries his in
strument with him and played a
number of pieces, which demon
strated that he was master OF the
instrument, and one of whom few
could surpass. Mr.. Pilgrim is a
wealthy resident of California, and
owns a fine orange ranch there, and
lives in a handsome bungalow which
cost $4,000 to erect.

CaImar Mun From Elma.

The ball game at the fair grounds
Sunday between Calmar and Elma,
was won by the former by score
of Z to 6. A big crowd was out to
see the game, which went ten inn
ings. Elma has a stong team, and
an exceptionally strong pitcher,
and the game should have been his,
but errors behind him lost it. He
not only pitched good ball, but made
a home run in the tenth as well.
Sanders pitched for Calmar, but he
was touched up for home runs and
two ,baggers galore, but received
good backing, which saved the day
for him. Elma's errors lost the game
for them. 1t was a good game to
witness, and demonstrates the fact
that there are some good ball play
ers in this vicinity, as both teams
were made up of home men. Calmar
always can muster up a team that
gives the best of them a run for
their money.
Messrs. John Dotseth and Ole
Quandahl were the official arbiters
and performed their work in as
creditable a manner as the general
run of umpires do.

the former on Wednesday and the
latter Friday. They arrived in New
York Sunday, Aug. 2, Mr.. Hogevoll
remaining there for a couple days
visit The trip from Bergen to
Brooklyn, New York was made in
just eight days, with 400 passeng-
ers on board.
1t was % years since Mr.. Holm
visited his native country and of
course the trip was greatly enjoy-
ed. Mr.. Holm represented the
''Norske Selskab" singing society of
DEBORAH, with 1877 other singers
from all parts of the United States.
In Norway there was a chorus of
1890 singers in which he partici-
pated.
Mr.. Holm received a high honor
in Chicago, being presented with a
handsome gold medal by the Nor
wegian Singers of America, because
of participating in Is singing festi-
walls and singing for 80 years.

EDWARD BRAKEMAN DEAD.
Well Known Pioneer Resident of
the County Passed Away Last
Wednesday.

News of the death on last We'd
nesday afternoon of Edward Blake
man, well known Winneshiek pi-
oneer at his home west of the city,
brought sorrow to many friends. Mr..
Brakeman had been confined to his
bed for two weeks and five days,
suffering from gangrene in one of
his feet, the immediate cause of
the illness being diabetis.
The deceased was born on Octo-
Der 9th, 1914 in Parma Center, New
York State, and when a small boy
came with his parents by oxen team
to Spring Prairie, Wis. At the age
of q he came to Iowa, settling at
Freeport, where he formed a part
nership with the late Henry Paine
in the Freeport -four mill, which
was conducted some years. Later
he bought the Canoe mills in Pleas
ant township which he operated IA

MARRIED FIFTY YEARS.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. III. Mackenstadt
Married Fifty Years on Last
Sunday.

The golden wedding anniversary
Of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. H. Mackenstadt
of the West Side occurred last Sun
day. 1t was fifty years ago, on
Aug. 9th, 1864, that they were
united in marriage in DEBORAH.
The groom was born in Deipholz,
Hanover, Germany, and came 70 this
country when a young man and to
DEBORAH in 1861, where for fifty
years he conducted a tailoring es-
tablishment, retiring from active
business about three years ago. Mr..
Mackenstadt was always active in
the business affairs of DEBORAH, and
rounded out long and honorable
career.
The many friends of himself and
good wife showered them with con-
gratulationa and best wishes, and
we join with them in wishing the
happy couple many more years of
life and anniversaries together.
They have five children, all OF
whom reside away from DEBORAH,
with the exception of Mrs. Jerusha
Hislop. They are Fred H., Wagner
S. D.; Albert, Platte, S. D.; Chas
j., Jasper, Mimi; and Roger c.,
Fort Duchesne, Utah.

years, and he also ran mills in nu-
merous other places.
For the past 81 years he was en-
gagged in general farming and gar
dening on the home farm west of
| the city.
In June 1867 he was united in
marriage to Miss Augusta Leach at
.Freeport, four children being born
to the union, namely Walter A, De-
corah; Howard E., Burlington; Mrs.
Nellie Olson, Lincoln, Mimi. and
Mrs. Minnie Hallman, who passed
away some time ago. ~
Mr.. Brakeman WAS for many
years a. prominent man in the affairs
of the county! He held many Offices
and was president of the school
board of DEBORAH township He also
organized the Winneshiek County
Horticultural Society of this coun-
ty, of which he was president; was
also president of the N. E. Iowa
Horticultural Association and presi-
dent of the DEBORAH Farmers Ice
Cave Creamery Company.
In his official capacity in all these
Offices the utmost confidence was
placed on his judgment, and he con-
Quoted the affairs in a manner
which brought high credit to him
and the confidence and esteem of
his associates.
Winneshiek county loses one of her
best and most public spirited resi-
dents. He was man who bore the
respect and esteem of everybody
who had the pleasure of his ac-
quaintance, and his good deeds will
live long in memory. He was tire
less worker and gave much of his
time to the upbuilding of many in
terests in DEBORAH and throughout
the county. His home life was
ideal, and his genial sunny dispo-
sition made it real pleasure for
one to call him a friend.
The funeral was held Sunday
afternoon at $3.50 from the home,
Rev. Willett, of the Congregational
church officiating at the services at
the home.
The Masonic lodge of DEBORAH of
which he was d member and Past
Master had charge of the funeral,
and the ceremony was conducted at
the grave by Past Master H. ].
Green, interment being in Phelphs
cemetery, and large crowd of old
friends and neighbors paid their
last respects to one who had en-
joyed their lifelong respect and es-
TEEN

The following Interpretation of
the neutrality laws, may interest
aliens in this country whose servi-
ces are needed by the mother
lands:
Aliens here may not be forced to
return for military duty. However,
they may be punished if they return
to their native lands, even after
they become naturalized.
There are scores of aliens in this
country who have been, or will be,
summoned for military duty in Ger
many, England, Russia, Belgium or
ether warning nations. Those who
prefer peace to war, who love Amer
lea after only a short residence,
have been sorely troubled over
what they should do. Many aliens
are returning voluntarily and 9TH
ers are returning as American citi-
zens for enlistment as volunteers.

BAND MADE A HIT.
Combined Concert Band at City
Park Sunday Drew Out an
Immense Crowd.

Decorah's beautiful new City Park
entertained a crowd on Sunday, al
most equal to the big crowd which
gathered there on the Fourth. The
Calmar and DEBORAH bands combin-
ed and gave one of the finest con-
certs of the season, under the lead
ership of Bandmaster w. B. Coup.
A large crowd of Calmar people ac-
companied the band, and also the
Calmar ball team which played
Elma at the fair grounds in the af-
ternoon.
1t was estimated that $500 peo-
pie were at the park to enjoy the
music and beauties of the park in
general. The day was ideal, and Wis
itors were here in automobiles
which we observed from the follow
ing places: Minneapolis, Lime
Springs, West Union, Elgin, Water
vile, FIT. Atkinson, Ridgeway,
Frankville, Waukon, Burr Oak, Cal
mar, Greane, Ossian. Canon, New
Albin, Lanesborough, Cresco, Spill
