A. 0. U. W. FESTIVAL
Class of Twenty Candidates Initio
ated at a Special Meeting
Monday Night
Banquet and Social Time Follows
the Hour of Labor. State
Grand Master Presides
Last Monday evening was a red
letter day in the history of the local
lodge of the Ancient Order of
United Workmen, £when a class of
20 candidates were intiated into
the mysteries and took the obliga
tons of the order. The large class
was the result of the labors of State
Deputy M. C. Taylor, who spent
several weeks here before the holi­
days, and secured 37 applications.
Of thess 22 had been examined and
the cerifioate issued, and 20 showed
up at the appointed time for initia­
tion. State Grand Master M. C.
Tift, of Long Prairie, was present
and presided. He oonfered the two
dgrees of the order and exemplified
the secret work in a skillful manner.
At the conclusion of the work the
dinning room was thrown open and
a large pary of ladies, members of
the Degree of Honor and wives of
the Workmen were admitted, when
Grand Master Tift delivered an in­
teresting address. This was follow­
ed by a delightful banquet and an
hour of social intercourse.
The Ancient Order of United
Workmen is the oldest of the large
fraternal insurance orders, and it
has passed that age that is sup­
posed to be the supreme test of
strength. The order is still grow­
ing and in a flourishing conditiion.
The local lodge is in a particu-
a membership of nearly 150, and
owning property worth $10,000.
PRODIGAL TO RETURN
Col. HolbrooK Coming Home to
Resume His Calling as
Auctioneer
A piece of news that is calculated
to "throw the scare" into the large
crop of colonels that has sprung up
since his unannounced departure last
fall, was received by the Advance on
Wednesday from Col. J. N. Hoi
brook, saying that he would return
to WorthiDgton, Feb. 11th or 12th to
resume his work as auctioneer, and
asked us to make menti of the fact.
It is possible that the colonel has
reached a due sense of penitence over
his escapade and is coming home to
make amends. Kill the fatted calf,
bring on the glad rags and jewelry
and receive the prodigal joyously.
Church to be Dedicated
The Congregational church will
be dedicated next Sunday, Feb.
10th, with appropriate exercises.
An attractive program has been ar­
ranged and many prominent clergy­
men of this church will be present,
among whom are Drs. Merrill
and Herriok of Minneapolis, Rev.
Chas. H. Curtis of Rochester and E.
L. Heermanoe of Mankato.
Baptist Church
The ordinance of New Testament
baptism will be observed at the
evening service Sunday Feb. 10.
All are cordially invited to at
tend any or all of these services.
Pleads Guilty
Morris Nelson, the young man
who confessed toriflng letters at
the hotel Worthington, made appli­
cation to pead guilty, and on last
Friday Judge P. E. Brown came
over to hear the plea and sent the
young man to the reformatory for
indeterminate term. Sheriff Faus
kee took the prisoner there on Mon­
day night.

Obituary
The Advance was misinformed in
some particulars last week regarding
the late Mrs. Peter Geyerman, of
Brewster, which the following
obituary notice from the Brewster
Tribune will no doubt set right:
A great wave of sorrow swept over
this tillage Monday, when it was re­
ported that Mrs. Peter Geyerman
had passed away. She was seriously
ill for only a few days, but had been
rather feeble for several years. The
cause of here death was diabetes.
Mrs. Geyerman's maiden name was
Berreau, and the was born in Ger­
many April 5th, 1835. When about
23 years of age she came with her
people to America, and settled in
Carver county, Minnesota, where
five years later she was married to
Peter Geyermann. Six children were
born to them, of whom three are dead
and three are living, and known to
the people of this vicinity as Ru-
ADVANCE.

dolph, Edward and Peter.
In the fall of 1881 the family came
to Brewster and Mrs. Geyerman was
from that time on one of the most
highly respected and best beloved
woman of high |character and consid­
erable education and culture, a
passionate lover of music and beauti­
ful things of all kinds, a most faith­
ful wife, and a devoted mother and
grandmother.
In times of trouble, sicknese or
death Mrs. Geyerman was always
ready and prompt in giving aid to
others, and those who knew her
through all the long hard yetrs when
the country was new will remember
her many kind acts and uiourn the
loss of a true friend.
The funeral was held yesterday af­
ternoon at the Presbyterian church,
and only a few of the friends who
bad gathered were able to get insid»
the building, so large was the crowd.
Rev. Mapson had come down from
Balaton to assist in the seryice, but
after announcing his text he was
suddenly taken ill and was unable to
proceed Rev. Hunter made a few
brief but appropriate remarks, and
following this the burial occurred at
Hesrey cemetery.
The community deeply regrets the
passing away of this most estimable
woman, and the sympathy of their
many friends is extended to the be­
reaved relatives.
