ALLISON THE BENEFACTOR.

We have taken time to investigate
the question i'm the correspondence OF
A. jacobson in the Republican of May
21st. We find the record of treaties
and conventions between the United
States and other powers from July 4,
1776 up to 1889, a work containing 1431
pages, was furnished to member OF
the Winneshiek county bar by the
Hon. VIM. b. Allison nearly four years
ago, and has been used in determining
the rights of not only the Scandi-
navians, but of the English, Irish, Ger
mans and other nationalities. 1t was
resorted to by the Swedish Council for
information in the Inga estate case.
1t was used by that good and honest
man, the late Judge Hatch, during his
life time, i'm at least four counties, il
not more, of this judicial district, ad-
Indicating the rights of aliens of differ
ent nationalities.
1t appears to us that our courts are
very careful in protecting property in
terests, and if anyone is entitled to
credit for information regarding the
treaties and conventions between the
United States and foreign nations it is
the Hon. VIM. b. Allison.

The Record Breaker.

1t is because we want to record the
largest clothing sales ever made by us
in the month of June, we have in
augerated our "Green Tag Sale" F" which
will last all during this month. Green
Tag Sale means "that you can buy
suits and furnishings from us now, for
less money than you ever will" In
other words, when customers, after
seeing our new elegant suits and after
having heard the price, say-"well
that's cheap enough" the reader can
pretty nearly conclude that the prices
are really cheap enough, for no matter
how cheap goods may be, customers
rarely, if ever say so. The factis that we
know how to buy, and that is why we
can and do undersell all. We claim,
and can prove the assertion, that you
can buy better summer suit for 500
from us than you can get from other
places for $1,000. The success is all in
the buying, we pay no middleman's
profit, buying direct, and buying in
large quantities. We sell cheap and
know it, and the general public know
it. We want you to come and see us,
and you will find that our way of doing
business is just what will suit you.
Giving better values for less money and
doing business on the square is the sue
cess of the most prominent clothier in
the northwest. BEN BEAR.

A Decline in Horse Breeding.
CFrom the Breeders Gazette.)

(From the Breeders Gazette.)
To the Gazette-For years / have
been a careful reader of The Gazette,
particularly the reports of breeders and
shippers of horses, and it occurred to
me that my experience might be of
interest to your many readers. Dur
ing the past eighteen months have
been through Arkansas, Texas, Okla
homa Territory, Kansas, Minnesota,
Dakota, Illinois and New York, and
have met many buyers and shippers
from other states, and without ex-
ception they all confirm my own obser-
vations that there are few good young
horses growing up and no mares to
speak of being bred. In fact l find
very few good mares anywhere. -Four
years or more ago l met one of the best
farmers from Northeastern Kansas and
he said even then the good mares were
about gone from their country; the
buyers wanted mares and farmers sold
which brought the best prices, regard.

These conditions apply to every sec.

No Spoon Hooks.

For some time past a number of our
anglers have been trying to reach a
point where they could believe that
the present fish law did not prevent
fishing with spoon hook. In a let
ter to Commissioner Delavan the At
torney General writes that it would be
violation of the law to fish with a
spoon hook, or any hooks welded or
fastened together, even if they are at
tached to one line. The lawis a clinch-
er, and stops everything but hook
and line.-Spirit Lake Democrat.

REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL con-
VENTI0N.

A delegate convention of the Republicans OF
the Fourth Congressional District, ofthe state
of Iowa, will be held at Charles City, Iowa, on
Wednesday, Sept. 2, 1896, at l o'clock p. NJ. for
the purpose of nominating q candidate for
Representative in Congress for said district,
and for such other business as may be properly
considered.
The naming ofa congressional committee,
after the nomination is made, Il, recommended,
as this district has not adopted the plan of the
State Central Committee at Sioux City in 1890.
The basis of representatives will be one
delegate to each county, and one additional
delegate to each 100 votes or fractions over50,
cast for Hon. +. NJ. Drake for Governor in lS95

THE postoffice clerk who sold the first
postage stampand the first stamped en-
velope ever issued by this government
and who registered the first letters
that were presented for registry when
that system of mail protection was in
troduced in the United States is James
Lafitte Smith, who is still clerk i'm the
Washington city p. o. and can be found
at the retail stamp window. Mr.. Smith
is one of the oldest employees of the gov.
ernment, both in age and in length OF
service. He is 70 years old and entered
the postoffice as clerk in 1S47. In
addition to his other distinctions Mr..
Smith was one of the first four car
riers appointed by the government
when the free-delivery system was first
introduced. But he did not like that
sort of duty, and after few months
went back to his desk.

RINGLING BROS CIRCUS.
The Worlds Greatest Shows to Ex-
hibit in this City July Sth.

Ringing Bros Worlds Greatest
shows, which are beyond all question
the largest combined circus, menagerie
and hippodrOme ever organized, will
exhibit in Decorah for two perform
ances only, Wednesday, July Sth.
This great event will be signalized by
the longest and most magnificent pro-
cession ever seen upon the streets of
this city. Not only will there be more
elephants, more open dens of perform
ing wild beasts and more beautifully
caprisOned highbred horses exhibited
free upon the public thoroughfares, but
there will also be shown gorgeous
golden reproduction of fMoscow's Krem-
lin Tower, with its chime of sweet
toned silver bells; great golden CALI
Ope, with it's steam-wrOught melodies;
ten grand military bands and other
kinds of music, and two miles and
more of the largest, finest and most
beautifully ornate cages and massive
golden chariots that have ever been
seen i'm street display i'm this city. All
this will be but preliminary to the
most extensive exhibition ever seen
under canvas, displayed under the
largest tent ever erected, and so con-
structed as to be absolutely impervious
to the elements. A striking innovation
introduced by the management this
year is grand Introductory spectacle,
reproducing with historic detail the
gorgeous military and classic "Festival
of Olmpus'-a veritable replica of the
most brilliant, sumptuous and dazzling
of all the ancient spectacles. This stu
pendous display requires the services of
over a thousand people, and is given
upon scale of magnitude never be-
fore attempted. There is no additional
charge for this great feature, which is
entirely separate and distinct from the
superb three-ring circus and royal
Roman hippodrome that are such dis
tinguished characteristics of this un-
equaled exhibition. Incidentally it
may be mentioned that Ringling Bros
big circus performance is never abridged
and that the night show is given in
every particular and with the same
minute detail as i'm the afternoon. This
is practice that cannot be too heartily
commended. Another notable feature
is the entire absence of disreputable
characters on Ringing day. The
management of this great show will
not permit gambling of any character
in or near their exhibition grounds,
and all who attend their grand per-
formances are assured ofs protection
from sharpers, and courteous treatment
from the attaches of the show.

Two of Decorah's prominent citizens
We're over here Friday footing their
horns for Blythe. 1t has not trans
pired that they succeeded in finding a
Blythe man in town, although we
have heard it hinted that there might
be two or three of them here. Proselyt-
ing for Blythe in Cresco, be it by De-
corahites or outside railroad officials,
won't work. Its sure to react. We are
contemplating running the thing here
to suit ourselves, thank you.-Cresco

Bro. Webster must have bug i'm his

ing to, when already man can't step
out of his dOoryard without being
hunted down and riddled full of politi-
cal bullets? Wonder how Bro. Web
ster found out that they were "tooting
for Blythe" Evidently he knows
more about these mems business than
they do themselves. We are also glad
to learn that he controls the politicians
