ASSAULT AND BATTERY.
DR.. w. H. Simmons Arrested on the
Above Charge.

The people ofDecorah were surprised
to learn Friday night that DIR. w. HI.
Simmons had been arrested on a charge
of assault and battery. Numerous re-
ports of the particulars of the affair are
noised about, and it has been difficult to
ascertain the facts. but some difficulty
arose in regard to Mr.. Simmons child,
and it is said that he struck Mrs
Kelley, his mother in law, once or
twice, and abused her in criminal
manner. He was arrested for assault
and battery and gave bonds to appear
for trial Thursday. Saturday he took
the child and left for Wisconsin. Mr..
Simmons is president of the Y. M. e.
A. and a prominent church member.
AT meeting of the Y. M. G. A. di-
rectors yesterday committee was ap-
pointed to request him to resign from
the presidency of that institution. The
trial will bring out the facts in the case,
and if they prove to be as reported to
us i'm an interview the affair is a very
disgraceful one.

The Bonds of WedlOck.

One of the merriest matrimonial events
that we have known of for some time
was the marriage of Miss Minnie
Gutcka, sister of Mrs. Emil Rosenthal,
and Mr.. George Young. 1t was also
the tenth anniversary of the marriage of
Mr.. and Mrs. Emil Rosenthal. The
event occurred last Tuesday evening at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Rosen-
thai in West Decorah, and was partici-
pated in by large number of friends
and relatives. After the marriage cere-
mony was over a delicious wedding
supper was served, and festivities of
different natures for the entertainment
of guests We're enjoyed until late in the
early morn of Wednesday. Those who
wished danced, while others were
provided with amusements suitable to
their various tastes. The DecOrah City
Band and new band serenaded them,
and it was great event, indeed. Sew
eral gifts were presented to both couple,
in token of appreciation of their friend
ship. Many join with us in wishing
that they may''live long and prosper"

PatrOnize Home Merchants.

A man from Lacrosse has been TAX
ing orders for groceries in town during
the past week. We would advise our
readers to beware Of peddlers of all
sorts and give their trade to home mer-
chants who support our town. You
know what you are buying when you
order good goods from local dealer, and
you are not required to pay cash either.
They cannot afford to palm OF poor
goods on their trade, and deserve your
patronage. Even though the firms
represented by men sent out may be
perfectly reliable, they are not entitled
to your trade if you can purchase just
as good goods in home markets at
prices as reasonable as theirs. Patron
ize home merchants, and when you
discriminate between them choose
those who advertise in local papers, for
ninety-nine times out of hundred you
will find them up-to-date, progressive
and reliable.

LOWER INSURANCE RATES.
An Association to Suppress lncendiar-
ism, and Reduce Insurance Rates.

Mr.. b. f. Perry, assistant manager
of the Property Owners Fire Associa-
ton of Iowa, has been i'm the city the
past few days interesting our business
men in the above association. 1t is
not an insurance company, but a
voluntary organization of property
owners, working for the suppression of
incendiarism; to encourage and obtain
the widest possible range of desirable
competition in fire insurance, and to
secure reduction in premium rates.
An association is being formed in De-
corah to place this city on the list of
associated towns, which will work
simultaneously in the endeavor to sup
press Incendiarism and secure a re-
duction of premium rates. The asso-
citation is composed of prominent busi-
ness houses all over the state, and
promises to do much toward accomplish
ing the desired result. In Iowa in
surance rates are much higher in pro-
portion to the amount of losses than in
nearly every other state in the Union,
and if the organization can accomplish
this it will be a great saving to oui
commonwealth. A twenty per cent.
reduction in premium rates is asked
for now and the association has reason
able hope of securing it.
Another phase of it's work will be the
suppression of incendiarism. The
movement proposes to ask the legis-
lature to provide for a state Fire Mar
shall, whose duty it will be to see to it
that the men who burn their property
to get insurance will be sent to the
proper place-the penitentiary. In
this way large percentage of fire loss
es will be prevented, and the associa-
ton will be enabled to secure greater
reduction of rates.
We are of the opinion that this or
ganization is worthy of the liberal sup
port of our business men and others.
Other states have found the plan a
most feasible and profitable one, and
we hope that its aim may be accom-
plished, which will be for the mutual
good of all who pay fife insurance
rates. Mr.. f. w. d. Holwoy has been
elected local director, and will ably fill
the position. With the aid of our citi-
zens he will doubtless be able to ac-
complish much.

A HORRIBLE DEATH.
Little Harris Larson, Of Washington
Prairie, Badly Mangled.

News reaches Decorah of a horrible
accident, which caused the immediate
death of Harris Larson, nine-year-old
son of Andrew Larson Kongskowen,
at his home on Washington Prairie
last Saturday. Men were saving wood
on the farm with circular saw, pro-
pelling it with horse power. The boy
in some manner is supposed to have
grasped the tumbling rod, which inn
mediately jerked one arm out of the
socket and apart from the rest of the
body, while the other arm and side
were badly crushed. The little fellow
died instantly.
Funeral services will be held today
at the Washington Prairie United
Lutheran church.

New Fire Alarm,

For some time it has been thought
placed in the south part of the city, and
Hose House, No. seems to have been
the most desirable place to erect it. A
petition was sent to the city council to
appropriate $50 for this purpose, which
was done. The hose company agreed
to purchase bell, erect tower and
hang the bell, which has been done,
and the alarm is now ready for use.

Gov. ATKINSON, of Georgia, deserves
credit for the stand he has taken in the
case of a negro who was hired by a
white woman to kill her husband.
The negro was convicted and sentenced
to be hung, but lawyers of the woman
are trying to save her by legal quibbles.
The Gov. says the negro shall not be
hung until the case of the woman is
disposed of by the courts.
