drone fro. the officiating clergyman,
the oft-repeated and awe-inspiring
statement: I'VE see-such hairus-
good Lord" Many a scared glance did
he cast about the little country church,
wondering what a "hairus" might be
and why he could not also see one.

SLOW

Tn olden time it used to take the
residents Of Houma nearly a week to
get their freight, BY water from New
Orleans.
That seemed a long time and vet it
sometimes takes freight a longer time
than thatto come from New Orleans
ove the southern Pacific.
THE cqgEnaa recently has had this
matter iorcibly demonstrated to its
entire dissatisfaction foritsn newspaper
outfit was over TWO WEEKS in coming
from New Orleans to Houma,
Such delays are ~mexcusabIe, under
any ordinary circumstances; and are
only tolerated because it is a ground
hog case"
The people Of HOuma ought to de-
mand better treatment than they re-
oeiye, from the Southern Pacific. The
company is fully able to give Us. a.
cheaper and a better freight service.
than we are getting.

Death Near Ridgeway.

Mother Katharine Butt, nee Eckstein,
departed this life December 10Th, at
7:l5 p. m., at her home % miles west
of Ridgeway, Iowa. She was born
Octobest 2lst, 1923, in Renchen, Baden,
Germany, and in lS47 she married
Theobold Butt, who preceded her to
the better world about three years ago.
They lived in Indiana until 1865, wher
they moved To this county. where they
lived till God took them to their
Heavenly home. Mother Butt was
converted about fifty wears ago, and
lived consistent Christian life. When
they first came to this state the Method
list church was not represented here, so
they joined the Evangelical Associa-
ton, and when, about twenty years
ago, Rev. A. LampIecht opened a
mission work here, coming up from
Giard, they again joined the Methodist
church, and remained true, Christian
members to the end. Mother BUTTS
home was always welcome place for
the servants of God. She had true
love for Gods cause, because her ex-
peiience was a clear one, her heart
chung to her Saviour and Lord, and
her death was triumph. All her
children were around her death bed,
excepting one daughter who lives in
California, and one daughter who died
several years ago.
Eleven children, five sons and six
daughters, and about sixty grand and
great.grand children mourn her de-
parture, but not as such who have no
hope, but look forward to a grand re-
union in heaven.
Rev. A. Lampreckt, of Eldora, Iowa,
assisted Rev. Schlung, her pastor, at
the funeral. She was buried Saturday,
December odd, 1900.

An Unlucky Day.

Our last issue contained an account
of Herman Klemme, VINO lives on the
Beard farm in Frankville township,
coming to DEBORAH for load of lum-
Der and being thrown off the wagon
and run over by one of the wheels as
he started home. The last Waukon
Republican contains the following
item, thelsimilarity of which is signifi-
can't
Fenimore Ambro e.: who resides on
the Beard farm nearIFrankville, came
to Waukon last Thursday after a load
of lumber, and when on the road a
short distance from town one of his
horses kicked, Striking one of his legs
and bruising it badly MIR. Ambrose
was sitting on the load with his feet
hanging over the front end which was
close to the horses and the feshy part
of his leg below the knee was crushed
to jelly against the lumber, one of
the cakes of the horse shoe making a
hole in the shin bone. Mr.. Ambrose
was accompanied by friend who
brought him back to town, to the The
Grand, and DR.. Crawford was sum-
moned to attend him. Although the
injury is a severe one the sufferer is
getting along nicely.

Greeting the New Century.

The wide discrepancy between the in
dications of various timepieces, which
covers range of perhaps quarter Of
an hour. even in clocks which enjoy a
reputation of being well regulated,
naturally results in rather ragged be-
ginning of the welcome to the infant
year. The early birds have the ad-
vantage In the total amount of noise
produced. but their premature efforts
are purely local in effect. The real
symposium Of hubbub does not make
itself heard until at the exact instant
when the last minute of the dying year
has .breathed its last. Then it rolls
forth in chaotic volume, accompanied
by engine whistles. bells, firecrackers,
yells and every variety Of horn toot
that has ever been devised by the in
genuity of man. 1t seems to endure for
many minutes without an appreciable
break, although there is an uncon.
firmed report that individual noise
makers have been known to stop for
breath or to give their second wind a
good flying start. Chimes which in or
binary times are irresistible in sweet.
ness can scarcely be heard on New
Years morning except by ears close to
the belfry or during lull in the babel
of noises all around.

Regarding Boxes on Rural Free
Delivery Routes.

Delivery Routes.
The following information is given
for your guidance in regard to delivery
boxes on rural free delivery routes.
For the proper protection of the
mails, the Department insists that
boxes pat up shall be secure and APP
propriate and of character TO give
protection from the weather and to be
reasonably proof against mischievous
or malicious interference. Metallic
boxes are deemed best for this purpose,
and it is desired, although not inn
peratively required, that they should
be of uniform make.
Such boxes, when put up with the
approval of the Postmaster General,
through his authorized agents, are
regarded as falling under the protec-
ton of Section 5466. United States
Revised Statutes Section 1924 of the
Postal Laws and Regulations which
provides that: Any person who shall
wilfully or maliciously injure, deface,
or destroy any mail matter deposited
in any letter box, pillar box, or other
receptacle established by authority of
the Postmaster General, shall be liable
to fine of not more than $500, and
imprisonment for not more than three
years.
Attention of the United States At
torney for the district should be called,
TO any violation of this provision of
law. w. M. JOHNSON,

DEBORAH Club Reception.

The DEBORAH Club kept open house
for its members at its rooms in the
Grand opera house block last Thurs
day evening. 1t was one of those very
pleasant events for which the club is
noted, and large number enjoyed the
occasion. An orchestra enlivened the
festivities with beautiful music, re-
freshments were served, and the even
was spent in pleasing diversions of
various natures.
