Evidence of prosperity is rapidly
coming to the front. The National
Salt Company, trust that controls 95
per cent. of the salt output of the
United States has since the election
advanced the price from 81 10 to $3.50
per 100 pounds. Although the price of
beef on foot is S1.00 less 100 pounds
than it was one year ago, have adj
yanced the price from one to five cents
a pound. The Chicago Record, good
Republican authority says the meat
trust has ordered the advance. Mr..
Lickteig, one of our local dealers who
has been buying slaughtered meat
from the Chicago packers has been
notified of the advance in price. 1t is
probable that these two trusts contri-
buted heavily to the republican cam
paign fund and seem to be taking
steps for the repayment with COM
pound interest. The spool cotton
trust to reduce expenses, by-.l.,ss- dis
charge of portion of its working and
soliciting force and advanced the price
of thread one cent spool.
These are some of the immediate
results of the recent great victory of
the election which will not tend to
make the consumer happy. But they
are getting what they voted for and
should not kick.

Thoughts OF an "oId Fogy.

Seventy years ago boys used to get
their muscular development engaged
in some useful avocation. There was
always plenty Of chores to do, wood to
cut and bring in, cattle and horses to
feed. barn to clean, for the farmers
boy, public school to attend in winter
often at distance of two or three
miles, and in summer the crops to
cultivate, secure and market. Then
was produced a healthy, vigorous race
of men. and such are produced now
where the same methods are pursued.
Then, the village boy, as now, who
depended upon the bowling alley to
develop muscle sacrificed his manhood
and became the village loafer. Since
that day the country has been de-
veloping its youth through base ball
and other devious methods, leading
them to habits of intemperance and
vice, and leaving in hundreds of
instances permanent physical injuries.
They are, perhaps, better than prize
fight but their tendencies are in that
direction and many of the modern
sports are equally as brutal as that,
and like it, have a tendency to lower
the moral Stamina of the people. The
boy who is educated to be sport"
will fall into the ways Of the sporting
fraternity. The descent is natural,
easy and rapid. The physically injured
and the moral wrecks which have had
their first lessons in the currentsports
of the day may be found in every
community. Look about you and see.

Decorah Wins.

/, Decorah Wins.
The foot ball game on Monday las
resulted in score of 80 to 0 in favor
OF Decorah. About 15O Decoraf
"rooters" accompanied the team on
special which was met by the home
team and the New Band. The two
clubs formed in line, headed by the
band, and followed by the Decorah
contingent, and went Immediately tc
the grounds. AS the teams marched
through the street. everyone saw that
Crescos "goose was cooked" for the
Decorah team was headed by big
fellow weighing nearly 300 and their
team averaged 1856 while the average
OF the Cresco team was about $50.
The game began with Rev. Holmes
as referee for the first half, and it
was all onesided the Decorah team be-
ing to heavy for Cresco to handle.
Against the wishes of Cresco, DR..
Barfoot, of Decorah-he of field meet
fame (?)-was put in as referee of the
second half, and everything passed
OFT smoothly until nearly the end,
when Barfoot tried to advance the
ball feet from its correct position.
Cresco protested and the Decorah
team acknowledged the claim and put
the ball where it belonged, when time
was calle If Barfoot had been fair
Decorah could have scored another
touchdown, adding five totheir score in
the time consumed in trying to steal
three feet from Cresco.
The boys on both sides played nice
clean game, Cresco accepting their
defeat gracefully and bowling to a
team superior in weight and training.
Decorah found no fault with either
players or Referee Holmes and Cresco's
only complaint was that Barfoot who
knew but little of the game-this is
on Decorah authority-and manifest
enemy of Cresco at last falls field
meet, should be put forward as referee.
During the game DR.. Scripture had
an ankle sprained and Henry Schafer
got bad shaking up. Two of Decor
abs men were also nut ont of tho
game.
Ihe Cresco team have a game sched-
uled with Fayette to be played at
CreSco thanksgiving day, and may
