SENATOR URDAHL
POLISHES UP HIS FOOTBALL FAN
FOR SATURDAYS GAME.

If State Senator Hans Urdahl pos
sesses even the faintest trace of senti-
ment. he will occupy a place at Sioux
Falls next Saturday among the con-
tingent of South Dakotans who will
pull" for a victory for the men from
the north in the annual football game
between the universities of North and
South Dakota.
Mr.. Urdahl took a prominent part
in the organization of the first "chal-
longing" football squad the Univer-
sity of North Dakota ever turned out.
The colleges first regular football
team came into being in the spring
of 1898. After assisting in creating
the club, Mr.. Urdahl, who was on his
way to an A. b.. degree, occupied the
position of right guard in the fall of
1898 and center in 1894. An attack
of typhoid fever kept the present
state senator out of the game the fol
lowing fall.
Mr.. Urdahl left this morning on a
business trip into Iowa. He will re-
turn TO South Dakota in time to at
tend the game in Sioux Falls next
Saturday.

AUTO HEARSE
T.. L.. PECK, THE FURNITURE
DEALER. KEEPS Up WITH
THE TIMES.

+. l.. Peck, the Madison furniture
dealer. returned from Minneapolis,
where he contracted for an auto
hearse to be added TO his undertake
ing equipment. With the rapid prog
ress of the times the automobile has
come TO be the vehicle of the funeral
procession and of late il has been the
custom to use automobiles almost TX
clusiyely in funeral professions in
Madison. In this case the horse
drawn hearse is an inconvenience and
causes delay, and is being discarded
in the cities and larger towns. Be
sides il is possible to add greater ele-
gance TO the motor driven hearse
which appeals TO families and friends.
Mr.. Peck's auto hearse will be built
to order and will include the most
modern equipment in beauty and con-
yenience. 1t is a credit to Madison
that the business men of the city
avail themselves of the most modern
facilities in their business in what
ever lire they may be engaged.
