Luscher run his usual brilliant
interference, and on straight
plays astounded the side lines
with his gains. At one time he
made twenty yards after he
started to fall.
Max Stevens was always dam
gerous, making 5 to 80 yards a
clip on his smashes and end runs.
1t usually took three or four
tacklers to stop him. Senter
Baldwin carried the ball well,
but particularly distinguished
himself with smashing interior
ence.
Reynolds at quarter most of
the game, played almost fault
lessly, using good judgment in
the selection Of plays, and always
accurately feeding the ball to
the men carrying the ball. Lam
berton hit the line hard, and
playing a defensive full back
for the first time, backed up his
line in great style. Darrell at
left end played strong on the
defensive, breaking up Interior
ence repeatedly and blocking
one punt at tackles. Welch and
Corcoran played a brilliant game,
the latter at defensive work,
while the former put up a strong
offense. His advance of the ball
from a tackle position was one
of the features of the game.
Moose" Fuller played his best
game Of the season at guard
and turned his old trick of tack
ling the quarter before the lat
ter could release the bail. Moose
played the whole game in spite
Of a bad jolt he got the last
quarter. Winter and Thomp-
son at left guard played the con-
sistent game that blocked Fari-
bault's smashes. These players
were very aggressive. Glassco
at center played a remarkable
game. He did the kicking for
the team, never had a punt
blocked, and always got a good
distance. His pep for the rest
Iof the team was a big asset.

Operating Room Is
Completely Equipped

The furnishings for the oper-
ating room at the Redwood Falls
Hospital have arrived and now
in place, adding the final touch
of absolute completeness to sur
gical equipment. The table is
of the most approved type, with
every convenience to aid in the
efficiency and speed with which
operations may be performed as
we'll as the comfort of the pa
thence. The table for surgical
instruments, another for the
sterilized supplies and a third
for other uses are all, like the
operating table proper, of metal
enameled in white and absolute
ly sanitary. In fact the whole
room, walls and all, has been so
finished and furnished that it
can be easily and thoroughly
cleansed, with a hose and hot
water if necessary. Adjoining
the operating room is the ster-
ilizing room which is also made
as sanitary as human skill can
make it. The operating room
has been equipped and furnished
at an expense of over five hun
dred dollars and is one of the
most perfect arrangements in
the hospital.

REDWOOD FALLS MINNESOTA WEDNESDAY NOV.
Negro Educator
Dies in Alabama
Hardening of Arteries Cause Of
Death of Leader of Ameri-
can Negroes

Booker T. Washington, fore
most teacher and leader of the
Negro race, died early Sunday
at his home near the Tus-
kegee institute in Alabama, Of
which he was founder and presi-
dent. Hardening of the AFTER
les following nervous break
down caused death four hours
after he arrived from New York.
Although he had been in fail
ing health for several months,
the Negro leaders condition be-
came serious only last week
while he was in the East. He
then realized the end was near,
but was determined to make the
last long trip south. He had said
often: was born in the South;
have lived all my life in the
South and expect to die and be
buried in the South"
DR.. Washington was born in
slavery near Hales Ford, Va, in
1857 or 1853. After the eman-
cipation of his race, he moved
with his family to West Vir-
GINA. When he was able to
scrape together sufficient mon
ley to pay the fare to Hampton,
Va, he entered General Arm
strong's school for Negroes there
and worked his way through an
academic course, graduating in
1875.
Later he became a teacher in
the Hampton institute, where he
remained until 1881, when he
organized the Industrial school
for Negroes at Tuskegee, to
which he devoted most of his
attention during the remaining
years of his life.
An honorable degree of mas
ter of arts was conferred upon
him by Harvard university in
1896, and in 1901 he was given
an honorary degree Of doctor of
laws by Dartmouth college.
Funeral services for DIR. Wash

for the organization of the in
stitute. The entire body was di-
vided into four sections and they

and was we'll received.
The teachers of the city
schools extended the visiting
teachers an informal reception
at four thirty Thursday evening
which was much enjoyed anc
mutually beneficial to all.
The spirit of the institute
was excellent. Every teacher
was here for work and improved
her opportunity. Everyone was
busy every minute of the day
Mrs. Pratt is an adept at hel
work and her ability and untir.

gifts by Prof. Oscar Abrahamson. who
has been in charge of this Easter Monday
feature at the institution for the last 26
years The children in the wards were
dressed in paper caps and capes, young
rabbits played about on the beds of many
Of the women patients, and as the merry
makers sang and filled themselves with
candy under festoons of tulips, hydran-
geas, ferns and geraniums the hospital
resembled n gigantic bal masque more
than an institution for sick people.

LOCAL OPTION HOST
READY FOR MARCH
Temperance Army Swinging
Into Line for Assault on Har-
risburg.

An army of 5000 Philadelphia voters Is
swinging in line today, ready to open
the fight for local option at the monster
public demonstration in Harrisburg to-
morrow. Last-hour appeals are being
made throughout the city. Encouraged
by Governor Brumbaughs confidence of
success leaders in the campaign are
making one final effort to arouse the
Indifferent and to increase the delegation
from this city.
Stirred by the vigorous appeals OF the
Governor and led by the slogan "On to
Harrisburg the temperance forces are
being marshaled in every ward in the
city today, ready to pour into the capitai
on special trains tomorrow morning.
Backed by the leading physicians or
this city, the leading employers OF labor
and by clergymen and church workers,
who regard the liquor trade as a moral
and economic blight on the community,
Governor Bdumbaugh has issued final
personal appeal to the Judges and
lawyers of the State asking them to aid
him in obtaining the passage of county
local option law. He appealed to the
lawyers of the State to help remove from
the courts the responsibility for the
granting of saloon licenses.
a banner % feet long and three feet
wide, bearing the words "Philadelphia
for Local option" will be carried by the
deleSation from this city tomorrow. Ar
rangements have been completed for two
special trains, one to leave the Reading
Terminal at S:25 a. m. and the other to
leave Broad Street Station at $3.50 a. M

dya, preached on local option yesterday

of this city were also chosen. The Of
fee of the special committee arranging
for the trip, at 1511 Arch street was

bill will begin in the House of Representa-
tives at 2:30 o'clock. The meeting will
be under the direction of the Law and
Order Committee of the House. The

Brumbaugh strike the keynote of the
temperance campaign.

SUNNY EASTER DAY
LAUGHS AT STORMS
Glorious Sunshine and Warm
Breeze Wipes Away Signs of
Gale.

The climatic phenomena OF Easter, 1915,
was not exhausted with the dumping Of
10 inches OF snow on a surprised city
during the 12 hours last Saturday. No.
indeed The biggest wonder OF all came
! this morning, when Philadelphia awak-
| ened, rubbed its eyes and found the won
! drous white blanket gone as quickly as
| 1t came, with the earth clad In the regula.
! tion green garb that one associates as n
matter of course with the spring season
For. although in suburbs and city there
are many traces Of snow left, 1t Is moth
ing more than Incidental and by tonight
after another t2 hours of warm sunlight
It is doubtful whether the tinicst re-
miudor Of the snow will remain.
In the downtown sections today the
main thOroughfarcs are clear of slush
and mud. The warm sun yesterday was
a powerful ally of the thousands of the
strcet-cleaning force. Chief ConnelL Of
the Bureau of Highways, kept his force
Mt work from early morning until late
last night. The result is as near spot
less town as could be expected. The gen-
eral everyday appearance of things
caused many of the early downtown
pedestrians to rub their eyes in wonder
and anazemcnt, and question just what
sort of a world this Is we live i'm anyway.
In the country where there is still much
snow left, the comparison is just as
marked.
The drifts that upset sleighs yestcr-
day have disappeared in the twinl1ng
Of an eye.
The threatened hoidup Of tho Faster
parade in this city on Fifth avenue in
New York, and on thc Boardwalk I'm At
lautlc City, failed to matcrialize, Thou
sands who had given up the trip to the
shore on Saturday night, changed their
minds yesterday morning, and by after
noon there was little outside the snow
on tho beach to distinguish Easter 1918
from that of other years, There was
nothing to lead any one to suppose that
there We're fewer holiday makers there
than on previous occasions. Tho great
influx of visitors came on Sunday, in
stead of the day before, and hundreds of
hotelkecpers and boarding house pro-
prictors have a mouEnful tale to tell of
purses empty that should by now be
full. 1t was a onc-daY crowd. Which
fact did not affect the display, but saved
much money at home.
The Easter parade in this city by no
means lacked its usual attractiveness.
Rittenhouse Square was a riot of color,
and Walnut street was filled with the
customary crowd when the churches let
out North Broad street came into its
own, too.
Galy clad is the description to use If
one based his Judgment on n glance that
did not embrace the feet of the persons
observed. Straw hats above and goloshes
below was the regular formula OF the
fair sex, and often ludicrous. If one was
not in a charitable frame of mind.
But nobody was critical. There was
too much to be glad about from the fact
that in spite of the weather revolution it
was still possible to celebrate Easter ac-
cording to tradition,
