In November 1891 we occupied also
the frame addition because business
had increased to such proportions
that we were forced to build a larger
addition. In 1893 we put up two
story addition, and since 1894 we have
been crowded and have not had room
enough for our wants, and have
wanted to get more room. On De-
cember 22nd, 1895 we had the misfor-
tune to have another fire, which was a
heavy loss to us. This fire happened
in busy season and made it a double
loss; but still we made the best of it
and induced Mr.. Burdick to add
another story to the old building,
which gave us another additional
room of 22X54 feet and now we actual
ly occupy for our business 5000 square
feet, which gives us the largest furni-
ture store i'm Winneshiek County, and
we have added stock of carpets which
must of course be the best obtainable
and will be sold cheaper than carpets
were ever sold here. How can we do
it? Our business has so increased and
being a professional man, knowing the
ms and outs of the business and the
customer knowing that whatever we
say is a go, it can't be helped but that
this department will be a success.
Have we ever sold carpets here? Yes,
we have. Four years ago we fitted up
the Winneshiek Hotel. Ask there
how the carpets were; if we have mis-
represented them. We also fitted up
a number of houses in other cities with
no complaint, which also brought us
more new customers. We are proud to
state that there is not business in
northeastern Iowa that has done as
well as we have considering the in
vestment. We can prove that ours
has been gaining right along. We
have not done it by charging high
prices: no, we have done it by fair and
honest dealing, and are making De
corah headquarters for the furniture
trade, We believe in Give and let
live,n and "once a customer, always a
customer" There is not another fur
niture dealer in DEBORAH who can
make the same showing. Whenever
there is something new we have it and
are glad to say we don't have to follow
Others. We are here to be leaders,
which can't be disputed. Now again
we have something new in the line of
bedroom sets. 1t is cheval suit with
writing desk combined, most handy
thing for ladies.
Now, dear reader, you probably
would like to know what we do. We
do many things; first, we never let our
stock get older than sixty days, and it
must be sold never considering the
cost. That is the reason we always
have the newest stock. Second, we
have a carriage trimming department
which always adds. Third, we do all
our own upholstering in parlor suits,
lounges, chairs, and rockers and make
all our mattresses. We also repair all
kinds of furniture and upholstering.
Fourth, we have steam carpet beater
which was introduced here by us in
1891. Fifth, we have the only feather
renovating machine in Winneshiek
County.
Now, at last, all we ask is for you TO
come and sea us; you do not have to
buy. Tell your friends about us, no
matter what you say. Do like one OF
our competitors did. He told a man
that if he went to Uffelman's we
would beat him. We have sold that
man since over $500 worth Of furniture.

We propose to put them to work on the

silver classes is to have all the silver

out all the silver in the West, and the
gentlemen who are running this campaign

a gold dollar.
When that is done there not be. a

There Are Nearly Thousand and They
 Have FIourishing Club.
 MT. Mixes, whose remarkable skill in deciphering badly directed letters at the post office was referred to in the Chicago Tribune the other day, is one of colony of something like a thou sand deaf mutes in Chicago, many of whom occupy important positions. One of them is lawyer of high standing, another is chemist and assayer of the National Smelling and Refining com pany, another is head bookkeeper in a wholesale grocery house, another is president of land association. Be sides these the silent people" in Chi eago are scattered among the trades, including shoemaking, cabinet work wood carving, baking and typesetting, There are quite a number of compos- itors, the majority of whom work on the weekly trade papers. Until the adoption of the typesetting machines the deaf mutes were weN represented among the morning papers, but now there is only one setting type on morning paper and none on any of the evening papers. Heretofore a large number of the pupils at the deaf and dumb institutions have learned the printing trade, but since typesetting machines have come into such general uss the authorities have discouraged entrance into this trade as much as possible, although it is one which pre- sents no obstacles to the deaf mute, as he is only required to exercise the fac ulty of seeing in order to do his work properly.
 The Chicago mutes have an organiza- tion known as the "Pas-a-Pas club" which has it's rooms in the building on the southeast corner of Clark and Ran dolph streets, occupying the entire fifth floor. The first steps toward the for nation of this organization were taken twelve years ago at picnic of deaf mutes in Jackson park. The idea proved popular and the club has flour ished ever since. Social and literary meetings are held regularly in the win tertime and pienics in the summer. Balls are given frequently. The most brilliant function of this character was that which took place at the Grand Pa eific hotel three years ago, where four hundred people were in attendance.

Ee Bought the Boat That Brought Him
 Here Penniless.
 An interesting anecdote is told of the late Capt. Theodore Julius, whose death occurred recently. Some time ago, says the Philadelphia Record, Capt. Julius went over to a shipyard in Camden to take look at the old packet ship Tona- wanda, which was being converted into coal barge. The captain took par ticular interest in the old ship because of his having served as mate aboard her in the early eos. While he stood watch ing the old vessel total stranger ap- preached him and asked: Isn't your name Julius?" The captain replied in the affirmative. "You were mate on that ship in the summer of 1S63?' ''Yes," said the captain. You don't remember me" continued the stranger, ''but remember you very well. l was a steerage passenger on the Tonawanda at that time, being on my way to this country. I've been pretty prosperous and I've just bought the old ship and am going to make coal barge of her. Strange, isn't it, that l should come to own the ship that brought me practi- cally penniless to this country?" The captain agreed with him that it was very strange.

A Sheep-Kiiling Parrot.

Among the remarka ble birds of New Zealand IS the greenish-gray nocturnal parrot of the genus Strigons, which lives in burrows and resembles an owl; and still more singular parrot, the Nestor notabilis, which the English have come to regard as a dangerous nuisance. The English, as is well known, introduced sheep farming into New Zealand, as well as into Australia. Now these parrots have acquired the habit of perching upon the backs of the sheep and excavating holes therein with their formidable bills in order to extract the kidneys. The fact is so much the more curious in that it can not be attributed to an innate instinct, .since previous to the arrival of the English these birds had never seen a sheep, nor even any animal of analo- gous conformation, the fauna of New Zealand including scarcely a single mammal. We know, moreover, that in entire Oceanica there are no other mammals except marsupials. There is here, then, on the part of these birds an act of intelligence and even of cal culation, so much the more curious in that it is certainly complicated with a phenomenon of language or analogous communication. It is true that the birds are parrots, but the fact is none the less worthy of remark. Revue Franchise.
