spring of 1876, when young man
who had been touring Iowa ia search
of an opening for business drifted in
to Decorah, and finally secured a
location, and announced his intention
Of opening for business. Associated
with him was Mr.. Rose, wealthy
Indianian, who had discerned the
business capabilities of Mr.. Bear, and
with his means assisted him i'm estab-
fishing the business. The new store
progressed fairly well and by close
economy and strict attention to bust
ness an enterprise was being established
that was soon to rank with the best of
its kind in the west.
In the fall of 1877 the block was des-
troyed by fire, but was soon rebuilt and
occupied by the same firm, and in the
early spring of 1879 Mr.. Bear purchased
his partners interest i'm the business,
which he has since conducted alone.
From this time on rapid strides were
made in the volume of business done,
for new plan had been adopted. A
lavish but judicious use of printers ink,
together with the policy of large sales
at small profit, has characterized his
business as one of unusual success and
development. From time to time he
was compelled to increase his floor
space and accordingly has modernized
and beautified his store until it stands
Tor beauty of arrangement and cOnven-
fence in waiting upon customers with
out peer in this section of the state.
1t is needless for US to state that Mr..
Bear has been leading factor in every
public enterprise that has made De
eorah the beautiful and progressive city
that it is, and in thus commencing aud
congratulating him we feel that we are
hut expressing the sentiments of all our
citizens. May the future bestow upon
him and his estimable family its choi-
cest blessings.

A hypnotist and his subject, James

Wheeling, w. Va, have made one
failure. The hypnotist used to hypno-

became commonplace. So the other
night Morris was hypnotized, with a
five-foot black make, and buried with

butchers picnic. About daylight the
guard was reused by muffied cries
for help coming up from the earth,
