Forest Fires in Wisconsin.

GREEN BAy.asWis., Oct. 25.-The
harsh and forest flres Iii the vicinity
Of Seymour and New Loildon continue
to spread with alarming rapidity.
They are burning ftiriously ON both
sides of the Green Bay, WinOna and
st. Paul track from Oneida for dis
tance of thirteen miles west. Many
stacks of hay and a number of barns
in the neighbOrhOod of Seymour have
been burned. At New London the ties
on the railroad are frequently set on
fire and large forces of men are con-
stantly employed in watching the
bridges and culverts. Last night the
smoke in this city was so dense as to
be painful to- the eyes and many We're
unable to go into the open air for this
reason.
PALMYRA, Wis, Oct. 25.-Bark river
and London marshes are reported on
fire, with a large acreage undermined.
Three hundred tons Of hay on the for
mer and $50 tons of hay on London
marsh are already burned. The fire
continues to spread and can only be eX-
tinguisiied by heavy continued rain.

ANOTHER TOE STEPPED ON.

"DecOrah Public Opinion" made its
appearance last Saturday at this Office
1t is very similar to what it was while
at Cresco, only it has come out web.
footed for the republican party. II
1856, is the real discOverer of America
and developer of progress i'm the United
States. 1t is singular how narrow and
short is the vista of many people who
were born since the republican party
was.-Fayette Postal Card.
The fellow who writes the copy and
sets the type of the Fayette Postal
Card, is an individual who can see no
good in anything except the narrow
sphere of its own gloomy horizon. Oc.
Cole is an individual who is not salts
fled with anything in the world unless
it is according to his own rough and
uncouth way of thinking. Having
been i'm the railway mail service for
some years and because whisky got
away with him he was "laid off," and
because he was found thus unreliable i'm
the service of the government and dis
charged he has ever since been de-
nOuncing the officers of the county and
state, and in little paper published in
the little town of Fayette, by himself,
he never allows an issue of it to go out
of the Office unless it contains abuse of
some one or some organization. 1t
does him more good; it is sauce to his
taste and consolation to his heart if he
can say something mean about some
one. His paper is and has been sus-
tanned principally by the assistance of
people who simply took the paper for
curiosity.
Considering then who the editor of
that little mud-slinger is, we think it is
hardly worth while to make any fur
ther comment. 1t is simply waste of
time to pay any considerable attention
to him as he does not cut much of a
figure i'm any way, and his squibs are
laughed at and furnish cause for few
smiles by those who perchance happen
to pick up the sheet. He says we be-
lieve the republican party discovered
America. Well, no one would for a
moment think anything of the kind,
but Oc. always attributes beliefs to per-
sons which, as matter of fact, they
never entertained. 1t is his unwilling
ness to grant to others the right to be-
lieve what they please, which right he
impatiently demands, that disgusts
the reader of his peculiar sheet.

DEMOCRATIC RALLY.

Hon. G. A. Ficke addressed small
audience at Steyer's opera house We'd
nesday evening. The speaker started
out on the extreme folly of discussing
National issues in State campaign
and then put i'm over half his time on
the tariff question. A large amount of
old straw was threshed over but it
would take Il powerful spy glass to see
any grain coming from the spout.
The next democratic threshing will
be on the 5th of November, in which
tive uns" will take hand. He advO-
Gated the singular doctrine that because
Gen. Drake was remarkably success
full business man he should not be
Governor, and then there was great
doubt as to whether he lived in Iowa
or Chicago. Upon the latter the speak
er expected great laugh, but there
was only faint smile. This was the
only attempt at joke. He did not
say that when Boies ran for Governor
the democrats hOwled long and loud
upon his financial ability and great
success, that he was such an astute
financier that he could get rich raising
corn at loss. What difference it
makes whose COX Is gOred."
Mr.. Ficke said that Gen. Drake had
refused to answer great many wise
questions, but that Judge Babb ans
wers all questions both wise and un-
wise, and consequently should be our
next Governor.
The great and burning issue is Prohi-
bition, but no one seemed to take much
interest in it except the speaker.
On the whole, the speech was very
satisfactOry-tO republicans.
The Republican party will he 4O
years old next year, right in the very
flush and full tide of manhood. 1t
ought TO carry every thing before IL,

"AND l FELL"

Secretaty Walsh, of the Democratic
State Central committee, is just now
the object of great IDEAL .of innocent
fun, not only among the Republicans,
but among the Democrats as well. An
instance, where man so comically
surrendered himself to the temptations
of woman is scarcely recorded since
the fall of Adam. One prominent
Democrat, of Des MOines, so states the
press reports, suggested that Mr.. Walsh
should change his name to Adam.
He said when Mrs. McMurray at
tempted to tempt him three. times,
"My unsophisticated nature gave way
and fell" the third time, He must
be given credit for having withstOod
the temptation twice, while Adam
succumbed the first time. In this re-
spect Mr.. Walsh is better than our
tabled ancestor, Adam.
But the incident is too laughable
to keep. "My unsophisticated nature
gave way and fell" Well, well. The
poor little fellow. The pining appeal
of the woman was too much for him.
He,fell. Oh, what awful pressure was
brought to bear to lead him from the
right. What strains were piled with
such consummate skill to bribe him to
help the consumers of cold water strike
blow at the Republicans. What
temptation knocked at the door of his
tender heart, and drew him from his
course. How delicious the fruit that
caused his lips to smack and the
water to flow from the sides of his
mouth. How sweet the tender voice
cried, "Come, l will throw myself
into your arms and place my head on
your manly breast" How potent, yet
irresistible, was that sweet wOman's
voice which, like the alluring guiles
of Eve, bade him taste the fruit. He
could not stand it. The third time he
fell! Fell into her embrace and whiled
away i'm her soothing, tender charms!
How delightful! How lovely!
The scriptures teach that woman is
the weaker vessel, and that man is the
strong and stalwart bulwark of the
race. But poor Mr.. Walsh does not
verify this scripture truth. He was
decoyed by the weaker vessel, and be-
come lost amid her pleasing smiles.
His strong mind and sturdy heart
inest9i, before the sssslight of. sweet
womafi's sugar-coated hps. Together,
when the sun had hid its face behind
the distant west, they agreed to meet
and tie the nuptial knot. In the quiet
of the evening, while the mOOnbeanns
lighted the mountain peaks and the
hilltops, the couple We're to embrace
each other i'm the fond embrace of
Cupid's grasp. Oh, how nice!
But wicked Fate protruded its nOX-
iOus head and Mr.. Walsh and Mrs.
McMurray did not succeed in wedding
Democracy and Prohibition on that
night. Mrs. McMurray's fond hopes
of securing the Democratic party for a
husband, were to be consummated by
swag from the Democratic funds.
But the wicked Republicans Caught
on and the marriage feast had to be
postponed. The bridegroom was afraid
to go, and will have to wait for more
convenient seasons, when the Re-
publicans are not watching.

AKERS & HEWITT.

The firm name of the publishers of
the DEBORAH PUBLIC OPINION has
been changed to Akers & Hewitt,
Mr.. G. o. Hewitt having purchased a
One-half interest in the same.
Under the new management, as of
old, the paper will be strictly Re
publican in politics. 1t will build up its
business upon honorable principles, and
will spurn to gain one point over a
competitor through unmanly and dis
courteous means. Every energy of the
management will be toward building
up this beautiful city and srospersus
county.
PUBLIC OPINION cares not to engage
in petty controversies, but wants glad
ness and sunshine for itself and every
body else.
1t has the respect and patronage of
the community, and will do all in it's
power to keep it.
Get acquainted with PUBLIC OPINION
and it's people, and we are sure you and
this printing family will be the best of
friends.
A LAW was passed by the last legis-
lature in Wisconsin giving the courts
power to commit drunkards to a gold
cure institution at public expense.
The total number of treatments is
shown to have been 1877, and the cost
to the several counties of the state has
reached an aggregate of $3.50. The
law allows the Keely institute $3.50 for
each patient committed to it, and this
amount must be paid by the county
from which the patient is sent. We
think this is good thing; and would
it not be well to make move of this
kind at the coming meeting of the
legislature at Des MOines this winter?
"MY unsOphisticated nature gave
way and FELL" said Mr.. Walsh, when
he was driven to the wall by the ques-
toner in regard to his intention to
make deal with Mrs. McMurray, by
which the Prohibitionists were to sup
port the Democratic ticket. Old Father
Adam, i'm the Garden of Eden, would
be proud of his pOsterity if he knew
that Mr.. Walsh had followed his foot
steps in laying the blame on "the
woman"
THERE will be meeting of the Rep
ublican National committee in WASH
ington on Dec. 10, in pursuance of the
following call by chairman Carter:
The Republican national committee
is hereby called to meet at the Arling-
ton hotel, Washington, Dec. 10, 1895.
to designate time and place for the
1896, and to transact such other busi-
ness as may demand consideration.
The Tama County Democrat asks by
what rule a resident of Illinois has a
right to be governor of Iowa? Well,
nobody entertains the idea for mOm-
ent that such rule exists. The Demo-
crat must be dreaming.
The Garden of Eden scene has been
enacted over again in Iowa. Mrs. Nc
Murray acted the part of "Eve," while
Mr.. Walsh appeared in the roll of
Adam. And he "fell."
THE price of nails is going up again.
Probably this Is due to lively demand

lies.-Chicago Dispatch.

THE new and, it is claimed, infalli-
ble cure for cancer is called proto-nuc-
lein. 1t is a preparation which con-
tains living cell, called the leucocyte,
floating in the blood and having indie
pendent movement. It's action causes
the connecting cancerOus tissues to fall
apart and thus the whole formation, is
detached and easily and permanently
removed. The leucocyte is a scaven-
ger. DR.. Wells says that any case
accessible to treatment and not i'm
the last stages, may be cured by this
new remedy, hypodermically injected.
The discovery is one of the most bene-
ficent which modern medicinal science
promulgated. To many persons, and
especially to those who have had OPP
portunities of observing the disease in
others, cancer is the most horrible of
all physical affiictions.-St. Paul Pio-
neer Press.

WHAT is the reason some of the
newspapers in this part of the state
pour their venemous spleen upon this
paper? We cannot conceive of any
crime we have committed or of any
great wrong we have done against any
one. We came to DEBORAH with no
other motive in view thanYto do an
honest business, support in Dur humble
way those principles we sincerely be-
leive in, and to make all the money we
can. Is there any thing wrong in this?
Are we not exercising right which is
the privilege ofevery man? Then why
are we made the object of the above re-
ferred to abuse.

Washington Plans a Show.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-The sugges-
ton that great exposition marking
the close of the present century be
held in Washington i'm the summer of
1900 has meet with much favor at the
capitol. Besides commemorating the
close of a century, such an exposition
would mark the centennial anniversa-
ry of the founding of the seat of fgovern-
ment in District of Columbia. In June,
1900, the public offices were transferred
to Washington, and opened on the 18th
of the month. 1t is suggested that it
would be most fitting, as this is the
capitol city, that each state composing
the union should have a permanent eX-
hibitiOn located here, showing its sew
eral resources as to agriculture, conf
merce, manufacturing, transportation,
mining, etc. Added to the national
government and the individual state
exhibits, there should be exhibits of
the nations Of North, Central and
South America.-Dubuque Sunday
Herald.
Hon. j. f. BLYTHE, of Mason City,
who has been doing excellent work for
the republican party, spoke at Hesper
Wednesday evening, i'm Mr.. Liens store.
There was large crowd out, standing
room was at premium. In his re-
marks he touched on all the issues of
the day. Mr.. Blythe is not only good
speaker, but one of the ablest men i'm
this congressional district, and makes
votes wherever he goes.
DIR. TALMAGE has ceased preach
ing in New York and gone to Washing
ton, where he will fill pulpit. VIII
the presence of Mr.. Talmage in the
capitol city have any influence upon
our legislation?
The Democratic state committee and
Gov. BOies do not seem able to agree
on how to conduct the campaign.
BOies will have his own way, though.

THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.

The Journal this week has long
article about G. o. Haugen, the Re-
publican candidate for County Superin-
tendent, and from it we clip the fol-
lowing:
If Mr.. Haugen has had single
terms experience as an call around"
school teacher, will the Republican
please state when and where it was?
We were not asked to answer this
question, but knowing the facts in the
case, we feel it our duty to say this
much.
Mr. q. o. Haugen commenced teach
ing school in 1887, and has boen teach
ing pretty much all the time since
that.
His first school was i'm District No l,
Madison township; and this alone
answers the Journals question. But
we will not stop here. After this Mr..
Haugen taught two terms in District
No. l, Calmar township; and then
three terms in the Independent Dis
trict of Waterloo Ridge, Allamakee
county;a and then in the Conover village
school; and besides this. he taught
four years in private and normal
schools.
Where can you find another young
man who has had as wide and extern
sive an experience in teaching as this?
If he is not an "all around" school
teacher we would like to know where
to find one.
The Journal asksif the public schools
of this county are to be allowed to de-
generate from the high standard they
have attained through management by
previous superintendents of wide prac-
tical school teaching experience, just
for the sake of electing man who
through thoughtlessness of con-
vention happens to be on the Repub-
lican ticket?
Most emphatically, No! BY the elec-
ton of Mr.. Haugen to the office of
County Superintendent the public
schools of this county will not be al
lowed to degenerate from the high
standard they have attained.
Mr.. Haugen is gradute from
Prof. Breckenridge's Decorah Institute,
where he got a thorough knowledge of
teaching.
If the Journal man had taken the
pains to look up this matter he would
have been saved the trouble of>es&iag
questions.

SENATOR SHERMAN has written a
book giving hStory and personal
memoirs of the politics of the last
thirty years. I|e takes occasion to
speak with somewhat of doubt as to
the honesty of those fellows who ran
the convention of 1880. He does give
Garfield little mild roast, and how he
was deceived by Garfield, all of which
has DOUBTLESS some truth. 1t will be
interesting reading, no doubt.
