A RELIGIOUS WAR.
Grave Apprehension is Felt as 10 the
Outcome of the Trouble.

Spokane, Wash, March S.-A relig-
ious war at has been waged between
miners in C9ur d'Alene for years past
was given fresh impetus yesterday by
an occurrence that threatens to lead to
the shedding of blood.
At recent entertainment at Ward
ner, Miss Johnson, school teacher, in
an address, made an attack upon the
Catholics. In last weeks issue of the
Wardner Citizen, Editor c. R. Burris,
commenting on her utterances, made
some severe structures upon Miss John
sons personal character.
Members of the A. P. A. to the num-
Der of $50 met yesterday, from which a
committee of five was appointed to bring
Burris before the meeting. He was
dragged from his office through the
streets to the place of meeting. A
stormy discussion ensued as to what to
do with Burris. Some favored coat of
tar and feathers, while the majority
wanted to hang him. Finally, after a
strong appeal from the leader of the Sc
cret organization to not commit murder,
motion prevailed to run Burris out of
town, which was done, under escort of
the mob.
Late today warrants were issued for
eight ring leaders, on charge of con-
'piracy and exciting riot

What Next?

Mr.. Bear has always been noted for
bringing something new before the
public. His last achievement in this
line is that of No. 79 Check Printing
National Cash Register, which brings
into use the "rebate" system of offer
ing rebate Of merchandise for the re-
turn of $40 worth of checks or tickets,
which are given with each cash pur-
chase. The following descriptions will
give little idea as to how this machine
works. When cash sale is made the
keys are pressed and the handle turned,
which throws printed check out into
a receiver. This check bears the date,
consecutive number, Mr.. Bears busi-
ness card, agreement for rebate and
amount of sale. This check is given to
the customer. This machine is the
only one in the county, and is a beauty
and we'll worth the while to go in and
look at 1t will make great adv. for
Ben, and will be an important factor
in increasing his cash sales.

Electric Lights.

The electric lights were turned on for
the first time Sunday night, and prove
to be of the very best quality. The
street lights were lighted last night,
and when all are in working order we
will have one of the best lighted cities
in Iowa. Those which are not con-
nected will be as rapidly as possible.
Thirty-two candle power incandescent
lights have been placed where each
kerosene lamp was, thus covering the
entire city. This is an improvement
which has met with the hearty ap-
proval of all our citizens, as the COM
pany came here at the solicitation OF
the council and erected the plant at
their own expense, costing the city
nothing except for street lights, which
ii has sadly needed for years. Messrs.
Burtis & Howard have worked hard
to get the plant running as soon as
possible, and are deserving of credit for
their enterprise. We are glad to state
that we have at last come "out of dark.
ness into light"

A Horse Killed.

Mr.. Ed, Hovden, of Madison town
ship, lost good horse saturday; the
cause his death isas follows; Mr.. How
den started home and when near
Severson's saloon the team became
frightened and started to run. They
ran west past the Baptist church and
circled around on the flat near the
water works pumping station until
they ran into the mill race, one of the
horses falling on top ofthe other They
became so chilled before they could
be gotten out that one of them died
soon after i'm Crawford's barn, where
they were taken. Mr.. HOvden was
thrown out near Wilson's bakery,
striking on his sholder, but was not
seriously injured.

additions and drives in the city; the
opening up and grading of the street
past the Congregational church; and
the perfection of more street work
than was ever assumed or perfected by
any other council. This council also
was fortunate enough to secure the
snug sum of $500 for the city because of
their wisdom in requiring the parties
who secured the first electric light
franchise to put up the above forfeit.
So we think that careful exami-
nation into the facts of the case will
demonstrate that the present admins
tration has not been the worst the city
has ever been compelled to submit to.
Certain it is that the mayor and coun-
Gil have spent much time and anxiety
in the interest of the city; they have
done whatever was in their power to
upbuild the city's interests, and we feel
sure that when the proper time comes
for their report to be made it will show
that theirs has been an administration
of progress and good financial Judge
ment. That Mr.. Bailey considers it
his duty to furnish the people with a
report compiled without the proper
statistics) before the time for the Off.
GERS to make that report is to be re-
gretted 1t seems that he has not
"owed the people of Decorah the duty
of setting out the situation in order
that electors may act intelligently in
doing their duty as citizens" Verify
it would seem that "the Republican
has no candidate for any of the offices
to be filled"

THAT QUARANTINE MATTER.

Also One From One of Our
Readers.

The disgraceful attact by the Repub-
ticdn for political purposes upon DIR.
Daubney in reference to proper quar-
antine in the Clarence Haug case has
become disgusting to our citizens, and
it is certainly extremely unpleasant to
Mr.. and Mrs G. P. Haug to have the
matter rehearsed in each successive
issue of that paper. A number of citi-
zens have spoken to us about the mat
ter and we have received two letters,
with the request that they be published,
and devote space to that purpose. DIR.
Daubney deeply regrets the occurrence,
and has asked for space to make a
final explanation to the public. AS
will be seen by reading them DR..
Daubney fulfilled his duty In the mat
ter, and has received unsolicited the
appreciation ofthe state board of health,

EDITORS PUBLIC OPINION:
Mr.. Bailey is still dissatisfied. /
wish the people to be informed of the
fact that prior to my former answer
and explanation Mr.. Bailey and his
friends had laid this case before the
state board of health at Des Moines,
charging me with gross violation of
the state board of health laws, crimi-
nal negligence, etc., with the result
that after an investigation of the facts
i'm the case | received and have in my
possession letter from DIR. j. b. Ken
nedy, secretary of the state board of
health, expressing his entire approval
of my course and the enforcement of
the state laws in reference to quaran-
tine in DecoIah, and naming my ac-
cusers. l know of no way to prevent
friends from attending funeral after
fair warming and at their own risk, un-
less an officer is stationed upon the
premises to arrest them. When Mr..
Bailey becomes health officer of the
city he is at liberty to adopt such a
course, but the medical profession at
present have no desire to resort to such
measures.
am pleased to report that there are
no cases of diptheria in Decorah at
present, and deplOre Mr.. Bailey's at
tact upon me, as outside of my personal
character it fills the people with dis
trust and dread, and has tendency to
keep people away from the city, thus
,,in;urtng it's business interests

DepOsitOrS Meeting.

The depositors of the First National
Bank held meeting at the court house
Friday p. m., discussing many things
of interest. Slowly but surely chain
of evidence is being gathered in which
makes the belief more certain that
this is one Of the most despicable bank
failures OF the country. And that the
officers were sadly at fault in their dis
position of the peoples money. We
hope that decisive steps may soon be
taken to determine where the fault lies,
and that the guilty parties, if there are
any, may be found out and justice
meted out to them.

Injury to lanes Birdsell.

James Birdsell was severly injured
at Frankville last week Monday while
chopping timber on his place. One
tree had been chopped down, lodging
in another in falling. The other one
was cut down and two nephews as
sisted him in moving one of them
which was pulled too far and fell upon
Mr.. Birdsells shoulder, falling him to
the ground, doubling him so that his
head was pushed down between his
knees. DR.. Wilcox did all in his pow
er to relieve his sufierings, and we un-
derstand he is doing nicely.

TWO SUDDEN DEATHS.
Burr Oak Township Suffers the Loss
of Two Citizens.
Roy MASTERS.

Roy Masters, son of Silas Masters,
who resides five miles northwest of
Burr Oak died very suddenly Satur-
day, at the age of q years. In the
morning in company with John Boyd
they went three miles from home for a
load of wood. When the sled was
partly loaded Roy complained of a pain
in his side and they started home.
They had only gone short distance
when his feet became numb and he
said he would walk, and did so for
half mile, when he again got on the
load and soon became weaker. Mr..
Boyd held him up but he passed away
in few minutes. The body was taken
to G. Pierce's house and from there
home, and the doctors after an eXami-
nation pronounced his death as result
ing from heart failure. The funeral
was held at Burr Oak Sunday at IL
o'clock, Rev. J. Hilburn officiating,
burial being in the Burr Oak cemetery.

Off to New York.

Mr.. Ben Bear expects to leave for
New York tomorrow evening, in quest
of more bargains for his spring and
summer trade. 1t may seem early for
his semi-annual purchasing trip, but he
believes in getting in the market early
and picking up the very qest there is to
be had. His past record is positive
guarantee that he will secure an inn
mense stock of clothing for this trade,
if cash money and shrewd business
ability count for anything. We look
for news of interest from him and wish
him Godspeed on the journey.
