New Real Estate Broker.

Mr.. f. f. Auchmoody, of this city,
has just opened one of the finest real
estate offices it has been our lot to visit
in some time in the Portman building
on Winnebago street. He is an active,
progressive business man, of wide
acquaintance, straight forward dealing
and says he intends making things
hum in his line. No doubt he will do
large business and we wish him
success in his new venture. He has
something of interest to say to our
readers in the local columns this week.

THE EMUNICIPAL ELECTION
PROVES A VERY EXCITING ONE.
DR.. Daubney elected Mayor by the
Largest Majority Ever Known.
Curtin defeats Waterbury
for Treasurer.

1t has been several years since there
has been such an exciting city election
in Decorah as occurred on Monday.
Early in the campaign it seemed that
there would be but few vigorous con-
tests for the several offices, but as it
progressed it gradually developed hotly
contested struggles for office in nearly
every instance, until it finally became
seething chaldron in each ward, and
it was war to the end. Large sums OF
money We're lavishly wagered on the
result, and most uncommon odds were
given in many instances. Scarcely
voter escaped the arguments and solici-
tations of both sides of the fight, and
when the votes were counted on Mon
day evening it was found that probably
the largest vote ever cast in the city
was polled.
The campaign for Mayor, between
Geo. w. Adams and DR.. F. w. Daub-
ney, was peaceful one and was not
participated in by either of the candi-
dates, DR.. Daubney receiving majority
of 323 votes.
The race between f. A. Waterbury
and f. j. Curtin for Treasurer was the
vital one and assumed the attention of
nearly every voter. 1t was red hot
campaign on both sides, Mr.. Curtin
being the victor by 81 votes.
And the canvas for city attorney was
not so slow. The friends of M. A.
Harmon rallied to his support, electing
him to the office by 81 majority, over
Dan Shea.
In the First Ward, John A. NARROW
was elected councilman; in the Second,
Barney Harmon; in the Third, Geo.
Bernatz; and in the Fourth, A. n.
Vance. In each Ward there was a
lively fight.
Below we give tabulated statement
of the vote in the different wards for
the various offices:

ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL.
Frustrated by the Careful Watch OF
Sheriff Christen and His
Assistants.

lad it not been for the keenness OF
Shrifi Christen and his assistants and
thar close watch of the six prisoners
in ne county Jail, that structure might
haze been empty so far as prisoners are
coreerned at this time, for desperate
prearations had been made by the
priDners to make their escape, and 1t
wa discovered just in time to Illustrate
it. During the day Monday the
Shrif surmised that something was
in he wind among the prisoners, and
Though a hobo secured information
tha prompted him to make careful
sealch of the jail, and he found hidden
in he mattresses of different beds two
skeleton KEYS made of melted lead,
VIII hch almost exactly fit the doors, and
could have been made to open them
with but little alteration. They also
found steel saw hidden from sight in
remote part of the room. The keys
had been made of lead secured by
mel ting spoons and the saw was
pre- sulnably smuggled in by relatives
or friends of the prisoners. This dis
covery of an attempt to break Jail and
the illustration of it is but another
evidence of the strict surveillance
under which the prisoners are kept
and that Sheriff Christen is performing
his duty as an officer in its highee'
sense. The county has profted many
times by his diligent and careful
attention to the matters that came
under him.

Hereafter we must insist upon re-
ceiving all correspondence not later
than Monday. We will go to press
Tuesday afternoon, and it will be inn
possible for us to set correspondence
received Tuesday. We are compelled
to make this rule on account of the
large amount of setting to do the last
few hours before going to press, which
often makes us late in reaching the

Institute Opens Next Monday.

The April session of the Teachers
Institute for Winnesheik county opens
n the high school building next Mon
day morning. The indications are that
there will be large attendance, and
Supt. Hook anticipates pleasant and
profitable session. He has arranged
for a lecture on Tuesday evening,
April I'd, by Or. S. P. Lelaud. The
lectures of DR.. Leland have received
the highest encomniums everywhere,
and it will be great treat for all. DIR.
Henry Sabin, ex.state superintendent,
will be here and will give a lecture on
Tuesday evening, April 9th. Arrange
ments will also be made for spelling
and pronouncing match on next Fri
day evening. The corps of teachers
will be the same as mentioned In these
columns heretofore, and it is expected
that the work will be well organized
on Monday.
Mrs. Carrie Nation, who halls fro
Kansas station, has created sensa-
tion, by her strong determination to
save this land from ruination, by stop
ping all jolification, and hellish temp
tation that lies in the dispensation OF
booze to the population. Her acts
cause much vexation to the people OF
the nation, for it is no consolation to
see petticoat sensation, putting "sink-
ers' on the qualification, of those who
like stimulation. She would earn more
commendation, If she'd quit her per
ambulation, go and fill her humble
station, work out her own salvation,
and let the population follow their own
inclination. We don't sanction intoxi-
cation, and we do deplore the desola-
ton caused by too much stimulation.
And we believe that Mrs. Nation is
beyond liberation, and think the proper
combination for her imagination would
be to take a long vacation and forget
sold Nick's" temptation, to wreck
with desolation, all the beer-shops OF
the nation. We do mott pay too much
taxation, to keep the spirits in ella.
