CLUBBING RATES.
How to Secure Reading Matter For
Next Year at Lowest Prices.

We have made an extra effort this
year to secure for the benefit of our
readers extra low clubbing rates, so
that by ordering their reading matter
all at once they can secure it at the
lowest possible prices. We have OBJ
tanned especial rates from many pub
fishers, and by materially reducing the
price of our own paper when ordered
in this way, we have been able to make
rates so low that no person can afford
to be without the best papers of the
country. Below is our list, which will
be increased as rapidly as we are able
to secure satisfactory terms from pub
fishers. We can get almost any perio-
dical published for you at less money
than it will cost you, no matter
whether you are subscriber to our
paper or not. These prices compel us
to require that cash in ddUdnce for the
full amount accompany all orders.
Remember the price of PUBLIC OPINION
is $1.5O per year, and by a comparison
of these rates you will readily see how
cheap the publications become wien
dubbed together: Our prices are way
below those made by other papers, and
we can save you money on any pub
lication. Watch this list. 1t grows
larger every week.

Fell and Broke Her Arm.

A sad misfortune happened to Mrs
ID. b. Ellsworth at her home, corner
Broadway and River streets, on Friday
afternoon about three o'clock. She
was passing from one room to another
when her foot caught under a rug
which had been fastened to the floor
at the Threshold, and she fell to the
floor, sustaining serious fracture in
her right arm just above the elbow
The hired girl was up stairs and he al
ing her groan, rushed down and after
getting her to bed, called DR.. Daubney,
who set the fracture.

Give Us Better Lights.

The citizens of Decorah generally are
beginning to find fault with the quality
of light furnished by the company now
holding the franchise. There's "nig-
ger i'm the pile' somewhere, for the
service of late has not been. up to the
standard. The incandescent street
lights do not give any more light than
the old kerosene ones, and are rs red as
tallow dips. The company evidently
is endeavoring to furnish more elec-
tricity than their power warrants, and
if so the plant should be enlarged to ac-
commodate all who desire lights, and
give good service.

Death of Mrs. Norman Willett.

The news of the death of Mrs. Nor
man Willett in Chicago saddened
many heart in Decorah yesterday
morning. She departed for Chicago
last week Tuesday for the purpose of
having an operation performed, but
no one thought that she would never
return alive. Her kind and loving dis
position had won place for her in the
hearts of all her acquaintance, and
the circumstances of her death and
beauties of her life have been the topics
of conversation in every home where
she was known since yesterday. Anna
Louisa Helmke was born in California
in April, 1866, and was married to Nor
man Willett at her home in Santa
Cruz, CAL, Feb. 6, 1894. They came to
Decorah Feb. %, 1894, where their
home has since been, Mr.. Willett en-
gaging in the law business with his
father and brother. Mrs. Willett had
been suffering for some time, but was
supposed to be sufficiently strong to un-
dergo necessary operation, and went
to Chicago last week Tuesday, where
she remained until yesterday, when
the operation was performed. The
news comes that the operation was sue
cessful, and that the cause of her un-
expected death was heart trouble. The
remains are expected this Wednesday,
noon, and the funeral will be held at
the Congregational church tomorrow
afternoon.
The above particulars are as accurate
as we can obtain up to going to press.

Will Give an OratOriO.

Prof. E. F. Steffens, who recently
opened the Decorah Vocal Institute in
the Rudolph building, is making an
effort to secure class of singers for the
production of some oratorio A meet
ing was held Friday evening and the
matter discussed. Next Friday even
ing he invites every singer in the city
to meet with the club in his rooms and
join the chorus. We hope that he may
be able to produce an oratorio from
home talent, for such an entertainment
not only encourages our young people
to musical efforts, but the preparation
for it will be excellent drill.

THE supreme court of the state has
handed down decision that is not
without interest hereabouts The de-
cision relates to property rights in bees.
1t is held that bees are not like wild
animals, since they have local resi-
dence at times, and belong to the per-
son on whose property they have stored
their honey; the forest rs well as the
cultivated fields belong to the owner
thereof and he who invades it is a
trespasser.

have paid up in advance; still several

sorely need to put in our business.
We are making extensive improve

this reason insert this reminder.
Please look up your receipt and see if

A Narrow Escape.

Last Friday afternoon Frank, Roger
and Bessie Madden were sliding down
John street when they ran into team
drawing bob-sled loaded with wood.
They slid in between the horses, Frank
managing to crawl out between the
two bobs of the sled, Roger between
one of the horses and whipple-tree,
and Bessie came out from under one of
the: horses. The fact that none were
injured beyond slight bruises is a for
tunate circumstance. Three others on
the bob fell off before they reached the
horses.
