A NEW RAILROAD POSSIBLE.
Dec0rah, Rochester & Red River Rail-
road May be Constructed in the
Near Future.

For years the scheme of building a
railroad from New Albin, following
the Upper Iowa river through rich,
productive territory through Decorah
and Granger, Minnesota, north across
the prairies and Root and Zumbro
river valleys to Rochester, and thence
north to the twin cities, has been
studiously pondered over by men of
means and influence who are interested
in this section OF the country, and it is
very probable that the matter will soon
be brought to focus and the railroad
built. Men who are in position to
know claim that no line in the west
would attract as great traffic, have such
an easy grade, or less cost of cOnstruc-
ton. We are informed that the enter
prise is being backed by eastern cap
italists and that the possibility of the
completion of this railroad is not in
the least slight. With rich, fertile
country, surrounded by wealthy,
thrifty and intelligent class of people,
we feel sure that railroad through the
proposed counties would be paying
investment.

Substantial Road Improvement.

Last week we mentioned the excel
lent work done by Supervisor John
Greer on the Burr Oak road, thinking
that the road was finished, but Mr..
Greer informs us that the job is not
vet completed, and cannot be unless
financial aid is forthcoming. The
road has as yet just been built flat, aud
needs stone dressing on the top to
make roadway that will last life
time with proper care. He has already
expended $500 on the road and says
he needs $500 more to complete it as it
should be. For this purpose he pro-
posed to hold n public meeting at Burr
Oak, August 9th, when he will make
his first speech in explaining to the
people what has been done and the
further needs of the case. He thinks
that a few dollars from each farmer
using the road will give him enough
money to round up the roadway with
broken stone and make road which
the weather will not materially effect.
He will have have several gentle
men from Decorah with him at this
meeting, and hopes that every
person who comes to Decorah by that
route will be present.

America with his parents in 1868, and

til 1878, when he moved to Waukon,

The funeral was held yesterday morn
ing at nine o'clock from the Catholic

is HE HONEST?

The very over conscientious senior
editor of the Decorah Republican
pleads for purity and honesty in Off
cials. We agree with him fully in the
regard he has for both. He, however,
covertly ifnot openly assails the hon
esty of DR.. Daubney, and if not in the
columns of his paper, he, personally.
with words and letters assails the pur-
ity of the doctors character. He does
not tell the public what is true and
what he will not deny, that he agreed
to peace with, and the active support
of Dr. Daubney, ifh (Daubney) would
earnestly support Harry Goddard for
the position Of Postmaster of Decorah.
The public would be asked by this very
clean and Christian politician to recog-
nize DIR. Daubney as the very man for
state senator if the DIR. would earnestly
support and lend his influence to Harry
Goddard. If he will not then the
withholding of such influence makes
the DR.. a thing too unholy to touch.
Every word of this is true. However,
the people are asked to believe that DR..
d. is all that Is corrupt and dishonest,
because he chooses to be free man i'm
the post office fight. One question is
enough for any reasonable, thinking,
honest man, viz; In the face of such
evidence, and all can be proven, can
you be influenced by such hypocritical
pretending?

ANDREW ELLESTAD.

Mr.. Andrew Ellestad who has been
ill for some time with cancer of the
stomach, died at Vestre Slidre, Norway,
July 18th 1897. Mr.. Ellestad was
born in Vestre Slidre, Norway
March "a, 1874, and when quite young
came to Decorah. He has been living
in Norway for two years past. His
wife died some time ago, leaving no
children, so that brother in the west,
one sister in Norway, and one in Spring
Valley, Minn., Mrs. Hande are the
only surviving members of his family.

The Winneshiek Comfy Fair.

From now on the Fair Association
will utilize the method which made
Decorah's Fourth of July success,
namely that of filling every moment
with some interesting development or
exhibition. The plan has not been
fully elaborated for this fall, but we
can truthfully say that this years fair
will far surpass in interest any that
has preceded it. The horse races will
be lively and entertaining; there will
be scrappy ball game every day; the
aerialists will exhibit every day and
the diving horses will also be daily
turn. The most wonderful trick bicy-
clist the world has ever known has
been secured and will give daily his
marvellous exhibition.

THE DEATH REAPER.
Those Who Have Been Called Home
During the Past Week.
Mrs. HAUSER.

The circumstances surrounding the
death of Mrs. John Hauser, of Spill
vile, at $50 o'clock last Tuesday morn
ing We're such that it was deemed best
to hold a coroner's inquest, i'm conse-
quence of which Coroner Gibson was
summoned, and with DIR. Barfoot and
G. o. Hewitt went to Spillville and inn
paneled jury consisting of j. j. Haug
J. G. Mashek and o. Kaplar, whose
investigation of the case revealed the
following facts: On Monday evening
it appeared that Mrs. Hauser did not
retire at the same time as the rest of the
family, and about eleven o'clock the
family heard strange sounds outside
the kitchen door, where she was found
by her daughter, in great distress. She
was taken into the house and DR..
Young was called, who at first thought
that she was suffering from cholera
morbus, but a more careful diagnosis of
the case revealed something more seri-
Gus. A few weeks ago Mrs. Hauser
purchased box of "Rough on Rats"
and powder resembling this poison was
found about the place. The doctor be-
came convinced that the death re-
suited from arsenical poisoning, and so
the jury rendered it's verdict, although
they did not decide whether the death
was accidental or intentional.
Mrs. Hauser was born in Bohemia
fifty-six years ago. The burial occurred
at Calmar on Thursday.

A BOLD ROBBERY.
Three Boys Break Into Andrew Quail
ley's House.

On Saturday evening between six
and seven o'clock Jack Hogan, HI.
Brakeman and a stranger broke into
Andrew Qualley's house, little ways
west of Tavenir's West Decorah bridge.
They went out around the dugway and
through the woods on the hill to a
point opposite the house, and watched
to see when the house would be vacated.
Mr.. Qualley was up to Mr.. Olson's, a
neighbors, and his wife went out to
milk the cows, or do some similar work.
The boys broke in window and when
i'm the house scattered the things.
Books We're thrown about and beds
torn up in the search for valuables.
Two very old trunks, relics that were
valued highly, were taken to the woods
and broken to pieces. 1t is not known
exactly what was secured, but $lS in
money and several valuable old coins
have been found missing.
Upon being notified Sheriff Christen
went out to the house and investigated.
He returned to town and about mid
night found Brakeman in Hicks
billiard room, and took him to Jail
where after some argument, he con-,
fessed the deed and told who the other
parties we're, though he said he did not
go into the house. He got Hogan at
his home at two o'clock Sunday morn
ing. The stranger, in company with
"Bullhead' Lewis, left that night, but
the officers are on their track.
The boy also confessed to like
robbery committed last March or April
when they secured $24 from the same
place, and went to Ossian, Postville
and other points. The two Doys were
given hearing yesterday, Brakeman
alone pleading guilty, and Hogan's
hearing will be held the latter part of
the week.
