Decorah Merchants Maltreated.

We have been impertinent enough
during the past few weeks to quietly
watch the packages that pass through
the U. s. express office, and there has
scarcely been day when we did not
notice packages addressed to people OF
this city and county from the large
mail order houses of the cities, notably
among them being Montgomery,
Ward & Co., Siegel, Cooper & Co., and
Sears, Roebeck & Co., of Chicago.
We are confident that if the facts
were known, a better quality Of goods
could be purchased froh our Decorah
merchants at much less prices. And
then again these goods were invariably
purchased for cash, when the local
merchants would gladly have trusted
their customers for them. The home
dealers pay taxes here, contribute for
better roads and streets, for fire
protection and public buildings,
furnish amusements of all kinds for
the public, and are right here to stand
for lthe quality and durability of the
articles they SELL while goods once
purchased of mail department stores
must be accepted as Ty.s.eeived, whether
satisfactory or not.
But we have also arrived at the
conclusion that the buying public is
not wholly at fault. Nearly every
newspaper and magazine that comes
to their homes contains large, flashy,
inviting advertisements for these
houses. Goods are offered very cheap,
and the public think that they are
getting the same quality as from home
dealers, or else do not know that they
can obtain the same here. The mer-
chant who is constantly prating about
business being dull and the trade all
going to the cities, is nine times out of
ten one who does not figure newspaper
space among his annual expense
allowances, and is a back number
anon his competitors for business.
Look among the business men of any
town or city, and you will always find
the most progressive, philanthropic
and prosperous the most liberal
The day has come when business
comes to no one, but must DC hustled
for. Are you to be listed in the rear
guard? Advertising is more legiti-
mate and profitable expense than in
surance. These are cold facts, but you
know they are the solid truth. Then
wake up and profit thereby. Pick out
the ten best business men and most
citizens in Decorah and
you will find the ten most liberal
advertisers.

Some Valuable Dirt.

The dirt which is being taken off
Water street in the grading for paving
is proving of great value underline skill
full supervision of Commissioner j. ".
Allen. 1t is being used to fill and
grade low places in the streets, which
have geatly needed attending to for
some time, and in this way the city is
furnished the dirt by the paving con-
tractors, delivered wherever desired.
The street leading from Water street to
the West Decorah bridge has been fill
ed, widened and rounded to grade,
also pait of the street east from the
bridge, and the unsights-- hole d.
River street between c. f.. Tramm's
and HI. Engbretson's new building
is being filled in. Also the west end
of Water street near the pump house,
and the approaches to Water street
from the south are also receiving at
tention. Besides this Winnebago
street from the church to the high
school will be filled and widened, and
the alley north of Water street will
also be filled and graded.
A small estimate of the value of this
dirt to the city would be $1,000, and it
is being placed where it is most need
ed.

Riot at Prairie du Chen.

Word was received here Monday
night of riot in progress at Prairie du
Chen. The report was that 20 had
been killed and 100 injured, but later
dispatches showed that the riot was
not so serious as at first reported. Fol-
lowing is the Associated Press report:
Prairie du Chen, Aug. 20.-Thomas
Vavra, a special policeman, today shot
Chas. Triangle, an artilleryman of the
wild west show, in the leg, during an
argument. The affair caused small
sized riot. Vavra escaped to a saloon
under the protection of Marshal Lind
ner and Policeman Merrill, who was
seriously injured. A mob OF wild west
show attaches broke into the saloon
just as Vavra left 1t and completely de-
molished the interior OF the building.
Vavra's house was also wrecked. An
appeal was made to Col. Cody, who
soon quieted the mob.
