S. G.. Norton Dead.

The death of S. G. Norton, the old
est son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. J. Norton,
took place at his home in this city
Saturday morning, after two weeks
illness with typhoid fever. He was
twelve years of age and was born in
Cresco, but the greater part of his life
had been spent in Decorah. He was
very advanced for his age, one of high
ambitions and Jealous undertakings,
and was boy who knew everyone
that he came in contact with, and al
ways was well received. He was par
ticularly bright and cheerful, and his
death will be deeply mourned. The
funeral services were held from the
family home yesterday morning, and
the remains taken to Cresco for inter
ment.

THE RISING GENERATION
ADDRESSED BY THE HON. ABE JONES
Some Valuable Pointers and Reminlsc-
encies of School Life, in the
Early Days.

L feel constrained to give the rising
generation pointer or two on success
in life. Don't be discouraged if you
haven't the n, cans to take college
course of study. Many of our best and
most intelligent citizens never saw the
inside of college, and yet they make
the best of lawyers, generals, presi-
dents and lawmakers. Schools and
colleges are great help, but you must
depend largely upon your integrity,
industry, your reputation as a man,
and the burning of the midnight oil
in your lamp.
But few persons are aware that L
ever went through college, but L
have in just fifteen minutes, and the
janitor said if had waitedtive minutes
longer he would have put me out
But have graduated just the same.
1t was at high school THAT is the

built of logs cut from the primeval for.

were made of planks, and when they
wanted to write they had to swing
''half way round the circle" with their
backs to the teacher. The juvenile
scholars had movable seats, so they
could move forward, or back from the
great fire. My punishments were vari-

the most humiliating punishment 1
ever got was being sentenced to sit
with the girls. wiped my eyes and
nose on my coat sleeves and tried to
shed tear and pretended to feel ter
ribly, but i'm fact it was the most inter-
esting part of the performance.
In those days we were taught that
there were seven wonders of the world,
and the eighth had not yet been dis
covered. But later there appeared one
that puts all the others combined in
the shade, and that is the Maple Tree
in Vermont that furnishes guaranteed
pure maple sugar and syrup for the
entire world. Affidavits can be fur
nished more numerous than for any
of the popular patent medicines. /

1t had a maple flavor, and 1 had no
doubt that tank holding $4,000 or
10000 gallons had been driven under a
marie tree and leaf had dropped in.

Death of DR.. W. F. Coleman.

Let a newspaper reporter be as care
ful as he may in his effort to secure the
news of the day, and still errors will
creep into the columns of the paper;
and these mistakes generally occur at
the inopportune moment of going to
press. Last week the report was cur
rent in Decorah that DR.. w. f. Cole
man had died in Chicago, and the
most diligent effort to substantiate the
news was adopted by this paper, but
we were in error in the item. But the
sad news came in a telegram on Satur-
day that he had passed away that day
at the home of relatives in Chicago.
DIR. Coleman was taken sick last
August and everything possible was
done to get the mastery Of the disease
but he gradually failed until death
came to his release.
Willard f. Coleman was born in
Decorah, January 80, 1869, and spent
his life here, except when in college.
He received his professional education
in the state university at Iowa City, and
about twelve years ago opened dental
Office in Decorah with DR.. w. r. TOye.
A few years ago he took post gradu-
ate course in Chicago, and since has
been practitioner here, until he was
taken sick. A few years agos he was.
married to Miss Winnie Landers, who
remains to mourn his loss, with host
Of other relatives and friends. The
doctor was an industrious, ,conscien-
tlous man, of kindly disposition, and
readily made friends with all who
knew him. His death in the prime
of life comes as sad blow to the sor-
rowing ones, who have the sympathy
of ALL.
The funeral services were held from
the home in this city yesterday after
noon, Rev. DR.. Nj Willett officiating,
attended by the city fire department
of which he was an honored member.

Horticultural Meeting.

The Winneshiek County Horti-
cultural Society met at the court house
last Saturday afternoon. The attend
ance was not very large but the
members present took an active inter
est in the meeting. This being the
annual meeting the society proceeded
to the election of officers, Mr.. Ed.
Brakeman was chosen president and
Mr.. VIII Kreutter secretary for the
ensuing year.
Mr.. A +. Bents of Cresco and J..
Ridley of Burr Oak were present at
the meeting and the remarks of these
men were of interest to those
engaged in growing fruit. The reports
of the officers show that the society is
in good condition and the prospects
for the future is better than ever before
for the society is now well established.
After discussing the prospects for the
ensuing year the meeting adjourned
to meet again the first Thursday in
February. r. f. TYLER, Secy.

remarkable and highly interesting
play, there are two chief reasons why
Mr.. Belasco seems to be one of the fore
most of American playwrights today.
He is most exquisitely alive to the fine
spirit of comedy. He has the prose

WILL CONTEST ASSESSMENT.
Water Street Property Owners Object
to Being Assessed for Street
Paving.

There is trouble ahead for the city
council in the matter of collecting the
assessment for paving Water street.
Fifty-three of the property owners who
have been assessed have filed notices
with the city authorities of objection
and protest to the special tax levy for
the payment of the paving, and
Attorneys Anundsen & Houck will
appeal the case from the decision of
the mayor and cit, dads to the district
court The complaints made are lack
Of authority to make contract, non
compliance with the law, non-fulfill-
ment of contract as made, inequitable
appointment of assessment, etc. etc.
The total amount of the assessment is
about $4,000, and the portion levied
against the contestants amounts to
about $4,000. The progress of the case
will be closely watched, as its decision
involves the interest of every tax payer
in the city.
Following is the list of the protest
ing property holders, and the amount
assessed against each:
