SPLENDID Pipe ORGAN
At The FREE CHURCH
Responded to Touch Of Master
Musician at Oedicatory
Concert Thursday.

The new pipe organ at the Luther
an Free church was given it's first
public try-out in the splendid dedica.
tory concert given last Thursday eve
ming to crowd that taxed the capac-
ity of the church edifice to the utmost.
Prof. F. Melius Christiansen,, musical
director of St. Olaf College, presided
at the organ and proved his entire
mastery of the instrument. Prof.
christensen was student under the
famous Lindeman of Christiania,
Norway, and has won nationwide re-
putatior in musical circles for his
musical attainments. His interpreta.
tions of the nine numbers allotted him
Thursday evening were splendid, from
the first choral Lover den HERE" to
the closing number, fantasy of Nor
wegian airs. The audience was held
spellbound.
Rev. j. R. Michaelson, a nephew of
the pastor, Rev. M. B. Michaelson, con-
tributed three solos and was in good
form. He has a voice Of fine quality.
He sang, jag asker de voggende
Toner" and 'Den store Hvide Flok," "
in his first appearance, and "The Lord
is My Shepherd" in a later appear.

Miss Helga Peterson, one of the
teachers in the Central building, who
has a pleasing soprano voice, sang a
selection which was we'll received.
The piano solos by Miss Cora Os-
mundson were we'll given and pleased
the audience.
The concert as whole was great
success, and musical treat.
The pipe organ is a fine instrument
built to suit the space it occupies in
the church, and is of quarter-sawed
oak. 1t is about eight feet deep, near
ly fourteen feet wide and about Is
feet high. The "great organ" consists
of 305 pipes with pitch from 2 to
feet, of Open Diapason, Dulciana
GAMBIA, Melodia, Octave and Fifteenth
The "swell organ consists of 366
pipes with from four to eight feet
pitch, of Violin Diapason, Salicional
Stopped Diapason, Violin, Flute Har
monique, Oboe and Bassoon or Aeol
inc, and Tremolo. The pedal organ
consists of thirty wood pipes, Is feet
of Bourbon or Sub-bass. The tota]
number of pipes is 7O1. The organ has
the complete mechanical compliments
of couplers, bellows signal, wind indi
Gators, swell pedal and pedal move
ments. An electric motor furnishes
the power for the bellows. 1t was
manufactured by the Kilgan Pipe Or
gan Co., of St. Louis.

Could Be Done Here.


Austin is putting up beautiful street
urns, filled with flowers and vines, at
the street intersections. They are to
take the place of the silent police
men," The Civic Improvement league
of Austin installs the urns. The need
of traffic regulations on Northfields
business streets has led to considera.
tion by the city council of the pur-
chase of the customary "silent police
men,"
Wouldn't it be a good idea for the
Northfield improvement association to
cooperate with the city administra-
tion in putting in at the outset traffic
regulators that are both beautiful and
effective. Since it is necessary to
show drivers how to turn a corner
correctly it would be a good idea to
give with the lesson other pointers
that would give the mind of the stran.
ger within our gates the right turn to-
ward Northfield. Undoubtedly urns,
somewhat after the Austin idea, would
combine with Northfield's other ad-
vantages to have that effect.
Austin's plan of the urn at the turn
is worth trying.

YOUNG NAN KILLED
ON REPAIR TRACK
Arnold Howell Meets Death While
1t His Work N Railroad
Yard.

Arnold Howell, the twenty-five year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Howell
Of this city, met his death in an acci-
dent in the east end of the local yards
this morning, about seven fifteen.
Howell was passing between two cars
on the east end Of the repair track,
at the same time the switch engine
was setting another car in onto the
track. An opening about three feet
wide gave him plenty of room to get
thru, but before he could reach the
other side in safety the engine and
cars closed the gap, catching Howell
between the two drawbars. The bars
passed thru his abdomen, crushing
him terribly. As is sometimes the
case, the cars failed to couple the first
time, and before they came together
again, one of the men working with
him, managed to pull Howell away
from the draw bars. The unconscious
young man was placed on a push car
and hurried to the west end of the re-
pair track where switch engine and
caboose was waiting to hurry him to
the depot and hospital, but he died be-
fore being placed in the caboose.
At this time an investigation is 60
ing ON in the train masters Office, to
determine, if possible, the blame for
this unwarranted accident. The re-
pair track is supposed to be carefully
safe guarded against accidents of this
kind, with flags and special locks on
the switches.
Coroner Branton has called a jury
to convene at noon today to investi-
gate the cause of death.
The deceased was young man OF
splendid character. He had been
working on the repair track only a
few weeks. The family has the sym.
pathy Of all in their heart-rending sor.
row.

On Sunday evening an informal ded-
ication Of the organ took place. Ow-
ing to the rain Rev. Larson of Eagle
Lake, who was to make the address,
could not come and the local pastor,
Rev. Michaelson, delivered the SER
mon. Mr.. X. T. Rykken made some
remarks. Miss Ethel Govig is the or
ganist. The total cost of the organ
and equipment as it stands will reach
$4,000, all of which has been raised
or pledged. The Free church congre-
cation is to be congratulated upon this
splendid addition to it's church edifice.
