Death of AIacOnue DOnlan.

Miss Alacoque Donlan passed away
last Saturday at the home of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Donlan
in Bluffton township, after al ill
ness of six months from stomach
trouble. The deceased was born
June IL, 1897. Her early education
was acquired at the Immaculate
Conception Academy in DEBORAH, and
for the past year had taught school
in Bluffton township. She was an
exceptionally bright young woman,
and possessed of many friends, and
her taking away just in the bloom of
young womanhood, brings sorry to
many. She is survived by her par
ents, three sisters and two brothers,
Helen, Margaret, Patricia, Raymond
and Francis, and heartfelt sympathy
is extended to them in their loss.
The funeral services were held Mon
day morning at 1890 o'clock from
st. Bridget's Catholic church in
Bluffton. The funeral mass was read
by Rev. Father Gallagher, of East
Dubuque, an uncle of the deceased,
and Rev. Father Sampson preached
the sermon. Rev. Father Whalen of
Cresco, was also in attendance.

Castalia Pupils Give Program.

Friday evening, April 27, the
grade pupils of the Castalia Public
School, rendered an excellent pro-
gram to an appreciatiye audience in
the new hall. The entertainment
was the elimination of three weeks
untiring efforts on the part of the
pupils and their respective teachers
Fordyce, Robinson, and
Shipton. The music was of the best
and was well given. Perhaps the
memory of the plight of the members
of the Borrowing Family will save
many of us trouble in the future,
while the troubles which beset the
little fairy will certainly keep the
little girls busy at their dishes for
some time. AS bootblacks, the boys
showed unsupported industry, AID
Old Black Joe certainly acted the
part. Then came the little girls car
rying flags back and forth thru an
amazing series of movements, while
the boys bore airguns to the music
of 1.-The Little Tin Soldier" AS a
fitting climax, all the grade pupils
appeared to join in the singing of
America" and "The Star Spalgled
Banner" while flags waved, and the
audience rose to their feet.

Presented Hospital S25 Check.

The trustees of the DEBORAH hos
pital feel very grateful to the Ladies
Aid Society of Satire, for a gift of
$25 presented to them last week,
through Mrs. Jonas Akre, the secre-
tary. This fine donation coming
from the good people of Satire is
certainly deserving of high common
dation and the ladies are entitled to
lots of praise for it. Such donations
as these show community spirit, and
are the efforts that help build COM
munities and institutions on a solid
foundation. Again we say much cred
it is due these good women of Satire.

Mrs. Amy Houg-Stouffer Dead.

Mrs. G. p. Hong received a tele-

death of her daughter, Mrs. Amy
Stouffer, at her home in Chicago.
The message gave no particulars,
other than that she passed away at
eight o'clock that morning. Mrs.
Hong departed last night for Chica-

will be held in Chicago, or the re-
mains brought here, we are unable
to say at this writing. The death of
Mrs. Stouffer brings sorrow to many
DEBORAH friends. We expect to pub
lish a complete obituary next week.
