NEW STORE FOR DEBORAH.
VIII Open in Relf Building in About
Two Weeks.


by Geo. Costakos, has been rented
by Mr.. A. Laudel, and in about two
weeks he will open up confection-
cry and cigar sore, and will also
serve ice cream. Mr.. Laudel and his
wife are both experienced candy
makers. They have recently been ia
business in Hampton, Iowa, and an
article below is taken from the
Hampton Recorder and it pays Mr.
and Mrs. Laudel fine compliment.
Sweet Shop Changes Hands.
Arthur Laudel, Who came here
last August and opened the Sweet
Shop in the Hicks Building on Fourth
street and has built up splendid
trade, sold out Saturday to S. S.
Partlow and the new proprietor took
immediate possession of the bust
ness. Mr.. Laudels success in
Hampton is attributed to the fact
that he was always on the job, and
with the assistance of his affable
wife gave customers prompt service
and, as the saying goes delivered
the goods.
Mr. and Mrs. Laudel are undecid-
ed as to future business plans. Their
intention is to take a much needed
rest this summer. We hope they will
decide to remain residents of this
city where their friends are legion.
Mr.. Partlow, the new proprietor of
the Sweet Shop, halls from Des
Moines and comes highly recon-
mended as a successful business man
and one who is skilled in the art Of
candy making. There is no doubt but
what he will prove to be worthy
successor to Mr.. Laudel.
Mr.. Laudel is a professional ball
player and has been with the De-
troit Americans and Minneapolis
Association clubs, officiating as "A
pitcher He quit the game about a
year ago. We are thinking if Mr..
Laudel had arrived in DEBORAH ear
ly this summer his services would
have been in demand by the Decor
ah club, who was sorely in need of
a pitcher. Perhaps next season he
can be induced to take up the game
again with the local team.
Mr.. and Mrs. Laudel are very
agreeable people to meet, and will
no doubt acquire their share OF the
business here. They expect TO open
up in about two weeks, with a brand
new stock. Of up-to-date home made
candies, etc. They are undecided
yet, whether they will serve lunches
or not.
Below we print an article from
Minneapolis paper, when Mr.. Laudel
was pitching for the Millers:
Take Him Out"
Take him out, the cry that is
fatal to almost any pitcher was
raised at Nicollet park yesterday for
perhaps the first time this year. The
three words that sink deep into the
heart of any pitcher who is doing
his best. came from several parts OF
the grandstand and bleechers-pre
sumably from some who have seen
few games this year.
The cry was raised against Arthur
Laudel, who unquestionably had an
off day, but who went into the game
feeling anything but well and whose
effectiveness was further injured by
a terrific liner from Congalton's bat
in the first inning. But the incident
was another example of the short
memory of the average baseball
crowd
Laudel has been one OF the most
consistent pitchers in the Miller
camp this year. He started the sea-
son in whirlwind fashion and early
in the race went to his home in
Missouri, where he was ill for sew
eral weeks He returned to Mime
apolis as soon as he was able to leave
his bed and has finally rounded into
share. Those who jeered at him
yesterday are perhaps unfamiliar
with the game young fellows work
fer the year. Perhaps they are.
And it was less than two weeks
ago that Laudel shut out st. Paul at
Lexington park, allowed four scat
tered hits and won the game to 0.
Last Saturday, too, it will be remem-
bered he won splendid victory ov-
er Louisville and pushed the Millers
into first place, that first time they
had been there in over ten weeks.
Following are few of the things
done by the Woodworking young
pitcher who was jeered at Nicollet
park yesterday:
April 21--Gave Indianapolis three
hits and won a shutout by score of
3 to 0.
April 26-Gave Indianapolis six
hits and again shut out that team
by score Of 3 to 0.
July 20-Gave st. Paul four hits
and beat the Kelleyites, one of the
few times the Millers have turned
the trick this year. The score was
s to O.
July 29-Gaye Louisville three
hits and won his game by a score of
6 to |, putting Minneapolis in first
place
