Miss Name Langdon

Miss Name Langdon passed away
Tuesday morning, July II, at 1870,
as the result of cerebral trouble. In
this short item of news is contained
the thought of all of the sadness
which goes with the passing of a life,
given to service, such intensive serv-
ice that while yet it was midday the
strength failed. And it was not to
her church alone that Miss Langdon
gave SO unsparingly of her time and
talent, for through the city schools,
of which she was for a time the effic-
lent musical instructor, and through
many other avenues of public well
fare and enterprise, she was an ever
willing assistant. Her contribution
to the life of Parker is that which
comes in teaching community the
beauty and Inspiration of the best
there is in music. The Catholic choir
of which she had long been the d.
rector, has been the most continu-
Gus medium of the expression of the
art to which she gave her life, but
many other circles have also felt the
impetus which her training has CIV
en- to the musical life of the whole
community. 1t is the heritage en-
bodied in keen appreciation of the
soul of music, which Miss Langdon
leaves to the community of which
she has been so long a part.
Name Langdon was born Dec. 81,
1872, at Whitewater, Wis. She is
survived by her father and mother,
at River Falls, Wis, and three sis
tiers, Mrs H. N. Nilsson of Duluth.
Mrs. c. L. Sands and Mrs. E. L.
Rash, both of Cleveland; brother,
Louie Langdon, of Winona, Mimi,
an uncle, L. Romdenne, who &C.
companied the remains to River
Falls. and Miss Riley, of Parker
cousin, Miss Alice Langdon, cous-
in, and other relatives. Interment
was made at Hudson, Wis.
The funeral was held from the
Catholic church Wednesday morn
ing, with Reverend FIR. Monaghan in
charge. Beautiful music was rend-
cred by Miss LYDIA La Tanche, SOLO
list, and Miss Hilda Holman, organ
list, both of Sioux Falls. The two
solos sung were. THAT Sweet Name"

Chicago Officials Warn Public Against Commercials Printed for
 ScalperS.

Chicago, Oct. 2.--It cost heavily in friends to play in a worlds series, President Comiskey of the Chicago Americans declared today as the last of the applications for reserved tickets to the ball games here were re-mailed to the senders with the explanation that no more tickets were available. In this connection it is pointed out that during the baseball season there are perhaps 100000 persons in Chi cago who may be termed patrons at South Side park and who have eX- pressed desire to see the worlds series games. The ball park will seat about 33,000 persons. This indicates there are several hundred thousand patrons of the Comiskey park who are disappointed that their money for reservations was returned
 Formal warning has beer issued that the existence of q plot to counter felt tickets for use by tho scelpers is known and that steps have been taken to mark the original pasteboa-ds so they may be- identified.

SEEKING REPRISALS
 FOR GERMAN RAIDS
Ten Killed in London, Three
 Nurses in Belgium Last Night SIXTH IN EIGHT DAYS
The Killing of the Nurses in Belgium Raises Public Indignation, and French Airmen Retaliate Rv Ro,nb. dng German Cities.

London, Oct. 2.-Ten persons were killed and 38 injured in last nights air raid over this city, the official an- nouncement today says. The news papers are clamoring for reprisal, and already several towns tnhabitated by Germans have been shelled by French avlators in retaliation for air raids made upon French cities
 Last nights raid was the sixth in eight days, and Londoners are getting used to them. The population joins with the newspapers in seeking re- taliation, especially after the report was given out officially from the Brit ish headquarters in France and Bel gium this morning that German air craft had dropped bombs upon two hospitals in the rear of the British lines, killing three nurses and sev- eral soldiers. The killing of the nurses has famed the flame of indignation of the English people.
 So many air raids have been made upon English and French cities that last night French birdmen bombarded the German cities of Frank fo rt-on- the-Main. Stuttgart, Traves and Cob- 1enz. Londoners, despite the repeated German attempts to drop bombs upon the city, are standing the test we'll. Last night, when two squadrons of raiders succeeded in getting close to London and some of them over the city, there was no panic and no un- toward incident.
 Immediately after the coming of the raiders was signalled the people in the streets scurried, for cover, while motor buses and carts drew up to the curb where the passengers alighted quickly. Within five minutes the streets were deserted virtually and a strange si- lence fell over the city.
 Most of the offices and shops had closed before six o'clock to permit their employees to reach their homes, and there was only fraction of the number of persons on the street as under normal circumstances. With the gathering of dusk many of the poorer classes, particularly the wom- en and children, had gathered at the tube stations around the Guild Hall and St. PauPs and other places of refuge. The police and special con- stables aligned them in files and when the warning was given they were shepherded into the rcfuges without confusion or crOwding. The theaters which are open had small audiences and the majority of the restaurants were almost deserted.
 The air battles over London have become so much a matter of course that when there is a Hull of a few min utes in the firing the buses start rum ming again and the people flock into the streets.

FAREWELL ARRANGED
 FOR DRAFTED MEN
Committee Decides to Hold Celebra- tion Thursday Morndng-Bus-
 mess Will Suspend.

With the elimination of the blast ing of the factory whistles on Thurs day morning, the farewell demon stration to be rendered the departing soldiers for Aver, Mass. will be practically identical with that which was given the boys on September 20. The committee which arranged the previous successful affair held a meet ing last night and decided to change the plans which called for a celebra- tion to be held tomorrow evening. Experiences gained by other cities which held farewell celebration on the eve of the departure. and were in a sence failures, prompted the com- mittee to again alter the plans. It was shown where many of the boys desire to be with their friends on the last night thus in many instances causing diminished showing.
 As in the previous demonstration, the start will be made at the Arch street armory at 8:45 o'clock. The line of march will be down Arch street to Main to the corner of Main and East Main streets, where the paraders will countermarch to the depot. Instead of marching down Church street as before, the drafted men will go straight to entrain through the arcade entrance to the depot. There will be plenty of music again; the Philharmonic band and a drum corps will be secured for the occasion. Colonel w. w.. Bullen will act as marshal of the day.
 Acting President w. w. Leland, of the Chamber of Commerce, a member of the committee, stated at last nights meeting that all merchants would be asked to keep their stores closed until after the parade. Pres ident Monsees of the liquor dealers association will also be urged to have the saloon close doors until after the celebration.
 The City and Home Guards will act as escort to the departing soldiers. Chief w. J. Rawlings will lead a platoon of police.
