Dyersville News-Letter The home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Oberbroeck ling, who live five miles northwest of New Vienna, was the scene of two brilliant social celebrations this week, the last occuring on Thursday and fairly equalled the grand double wedding of Tuesday, it being the 25th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Oberbroekling. This worthy couple, who rank among the most prominent people of Dubu que county, were united in wedlock by Rev. Father Oberbroeckling, his brother, at Luxemburg April 22, 1879, but on account of the double wedding on Tuesday the celebration of their silver jubilee was postponed until Thursday, and all of their children twolve in number, were present and took part in the festivi ties. —Hopkinton Leader: C. C. Mor gan has been rigging things up with a view of going into the pigeon business on a large scale, and on Monday he received a consignment of birds to start him out. The raising of squabs for market has de veloped into a considerable industry especially since the game laws in most states have practically prohib ited the killing of quail and other small game birds for market. Tlie young squabs sell at a good price and after being treated by a pro fessional chef serve all the purposes of quail on toast and the numerous other divisions that tickle the palates of epicures. It requires much work to care for a large breed ing establishment, but after once thoroughly gotten under way the business is said to be remunerative. Mr. Morgan's venture will be watch ed with interest, and there is no one more apt to make a success of such a departure as he is. •Exchange: There is a lan guage of umbrellas as of flowers. Place your umbrella in a rack and this will indicate that it will change owners. An umbrella carried over a women, the man getting nothing but the drippings of the rain, signi fies courtship. When the man has the umbrella and the women the drippings, it indicates marriage. To swing your umbrella over your head signifies, "I am making a nuisance of myself." To carry it at right angles under your* arm signi fies that an eye is to be lost by the man who follows you. Opening an umbrella quickly, it is said, will frighten a mad bull. To put a cot ton umbrella by the side of a silk one signifies,"Exchange is no rob bery." To purchase an umbrella means,"I am not smart, but honest," To lend an umbrella indicates, "I am a fool." To return an umbrella means-well, never mind what it means nobody ever does that. To carry an umbrella just high enough to tear out men's eyes and knock off men's hats signifies,"I am a women," To press an umbrella on your frienb saying "Oh, do take it I had much rather you would than not," signi fies lying. To carry it from home in the morning means, "The rain will clear off." —W. A.

The Death of a Former Resident of Manchester. Tho death of Mrs. I. U. Butler, a former resident and much esteem ed lady of this city, occurred at her home in Chicago last Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Butler were residents of Manchester for nearly or more than thirty years, Mr. Butler having settled in Manchester in 1857 and being actively engaged in the hard ware business in this city for a number of years. The family has many friends among the older resi dents here who will sincerely mourn and regret the death of this woman, whose beauty of character had en deared her to all her acquaintances. The deceased was in her sixty fifth year having been born in On tario County, New York in 1840. She was united in marriage to Mr. Butler in this city in August 1859, and four children were born to them, three sons and one daughter. Of these, two sons, Frank and Eugene, and the husband survive the mother and wife. Mrs. Butler was a sister of Mrs. L. B. Richmond of this city and the remains were brought to Manches ter Friday for interment beside the two children, who had preceded the mother in death. uhort funeral services were conducted at the Congregational church Friday after noon at two o'clock. Things Expected by Hick in Hay At the opening of the month there will be a manifest change in the direction of storm conditions. In all western extremes it will be growing warmer there will be a general fall ing barometric pressure advancing from the same sections. Winds will shift to the east and south from about the 3rd to the 5th, many storms will break forth with violence in. various sections of the country. If the disturbing causes centering on this period had fallen toward the center, or latter part of the month, tornadoes would have been' a certain consequence. As it is ample prob ability of such danger exists. Traf fic rains will fall in many sections, accompanied with hail and heavy thunder, especially along the south ern to central states. A very decid ed boreal feature of these' disturb ances will|come out of tho northwest as the storms work eastward, bring ing high gales with great probability of late snow in the north and west. After the storm area has moved off to the east a very low drop in tem perature will follow, bringing frosts at night northward and spreading far towards the east and south. Rising thermometer on the 8th will bring electrical storms up to and including the 10th and 12th. Heavy rains, thunder and hail due on the 14th to the I7th with possibly a tornado or two. General and severe storms can be looked for from tho 21st to the 23rd, if previous storms in this month fail to appear, after which look for ris ing barometer and change to much cooler quickly followed by high tenv perature, rain and thunder storms. Tornadoes are due during May and people are warned to look for a place of safety upon their approach. A change to much cooler will come on as the month goes out. Meritorious Lecture and Entertain ment Courses.- The Manchester Lecture and En teitainment Association has condi tionally contracted with the Slayton Lyceum Bureau, of Chicago, for a course that it, umuld bo diflicult to duplicate. Wo gnc below a brief description of each number: Haskell Indian Band: For many years, Dcnmson Whcclock has been at tho head of tho Indian Musical SOIVIL-C of tins country, and has made a great reputation as a com poaor, being tho only composer of Ins tube. Ho has had charge of the Bands both at Carlisle and Haskell, and has organized a band of thirty select musicians for a tour of this countij this season. This is the Band that will open tho course at Manchester some timo early in the 1-'all. 'I licy will play an engage ment at the World's Fair, in the conceit hall there appearing on piograms in tho same class with Duss, I lines, and Sousa, and tho famous Band of tho Republiquo of France. It is the only Indian Band that has ever been successful from a musical standpoint, and, when they lccently appeared in Denver, the paperb came out with flaring head lines, paying, "They realy make music." Their program will be ^aued, giving both an original and an aboriginal interpretation of classic and popular music, including some of the beautiful compositions of Mr Wheelotk. Mr. Wheolock will duect every concert given by tins famous Band, and this is tho first time the Government has over con sented to their making a tour Manchester is particularly fortunate securing a date- Anothei great attraction on the course is tho great Four Star Com pany, managed this season by the Slayton Lyceum Bureau. The company is headed by Miss Sibyl Sammis, who is considered tho greatest American Singer to-day with the possible exception of Nor diea. -Miss Sammis, is a young lady of most beautiful personality, with a voice of unusual range and excellence. She created a great furore in New York last year, when she succeeded Nordica as soloist with Duss' Band, and so great was her success that all succeeding soloists were cancelled, and Miss Sammis was accepted there as a Star. Miss Sammis is at present singing in London to enthusiastic audiences, and will return this Fall to head this company. Another strong artist is Miss Mabelle Carolyn Church, who is especially engaged for this All Star tour. Miss Church is in the habit of giving evenings alone, so, as part of tho Star Company, she will be an other big attraction. Miss Church has also great beauty, and of op posite type to Miss Sainmis, being a decided blond. Another star of the company is the celebrated Bohumir Kryl, the cornet virtuoso. He will play a solo engagement of eight weeks, and no living cornet soloist has ever been able to equal him in the variety and picturesqueness of his work, not excepting the Late Jules Levy. One piece played by Mr. Kryl brings into play five octaves and a half. His obligates to Miss Sammis' solos will also be a feature of the program. In addition to these three stars, the company will include Sol Heilbronner, the pianist and a pupil of Einil Leibl ing, of Chicago. Will Carleton of "Farm and City Ballads" fame returns to the plat form after an absence of five years, and Manchester will have one of his few dates.^ Mr. Carleton is still in the prime of life, and is considered one of the greatest entertainers in the country. Ho reads from his own work, and gives an evening of genuine enjoyment. Next to Riley, he is probably the best-known and the most popular poet in America, and he is equally strong as an en tertainer and star. Hon Henry Watterson, tho world's greatest editor, will be one of the early attractions of the Star course. Mr. Watterson will lecture on "Money and Morals," which gives him an opportunity to appear in his best vein. He is a typioal South erner, polished and refined, and a lecturer of great ability. This is Mr. Waltereon's last lecture tour for several years, as he is going abroad late in the Fall. Dr. E. B. NcDowell with his fam ous lecture on "Samoa," The col ored slides for this lecture cost some thing like $1100.00, and he also in troduces 15 sets of motion pictures, malcing the most complete picture lecture ever on the platform. Dr. McDowell is a man of strong person ality and pleasing in the highest de gree. His subject is one not often heard, and, there, of all the more interest. Last, but not least, the famous Dunbar Company will appear on this great course. This company has been appearing in Lyceum course for three years, and, in many towns, has appeared every year. Recently, at the Chicago Y. M. C. A., they received 31 encores on their second appearance, and have al ready been engaged for another year. The same is true at the Y. M. C. A. of St Louis, and their success at Cedar Rapids the past year was so great that they have repeated them for next season. Not only has this company a strong male quartet, but it is a great novelty musical company. They carry a carrilon of 110 bells, the finest set of English hand-cast bells ever made, and they are expert ringers, introducing the most beautiful bell program that has ever been heard on the platform, and even these features are not all that they do. Mr. Harry Dunbar is a humorist and flutist, and Mr. Ralph Dunbar, tho great 'cello play er, 60 that altogether they give a popular concert program.
