No better evidence of executive
ability can be shown than the smooth
working of great business establish
ment during the absence of its
executive head. The government of
United States is one of the greatest,
if not the greatest business establish
ment on earth, and although Presi-
dent Mckinley, it's executive head,
and five of his chief assistants are on
the other side of the continent, the
business of the government in Wash
ington is running as smoothly as a
well-regulated clock.

Had Been Exposed.

The following timely warning APP
peared in the Clinton Ind. Clinton
ion:
Readers of this issue of the Gin
tonian are hereby warned to handle
it gingerly lest they catch the small
pox. Part of the type from which, 1t
was printed was set by girl whose
father was half brother to a man
whose uncle winked at the sister OF a
boy who went TO school with John
White, who has a case of smallpox
that will cost the county about $780,"
We would warn our readers to be-
ware, as we clipped the item from the
paper that clipped it from the paper
that clipped it from the Clintonian.
Still as one of the papers that did the
aforesaid clipping had the article vac
mated by the members Of the board of
health, we feel sure that it will spread
nothing worse than varioloid. Besides.
our press has been vaccinated and the
ink fumigated. Don't eat the paper
because it is not healthy and has re-
ceived no treatment since the small
pox scare war originated.

Tri-City Field Meet JuIy II.

The date of the tri-city firemen's
field meet, to be held this year at West
Union, has been fixed definitely for
July 18th. Cresco, West Union and
DEBORAH will compete in all kinds of
athletic field sports, and the past
rivalry between the three cities for
this honor will make each the more
anxious to win. The DEBORAH fire boys
do not expect to be outdone this year,
and the other cities say that our boys
will have to do some record breaking
10 stand any show with their favorites
DEBORAH has net as yet won first place,
and as this is her turn to take the lead
a great deal of interest will be mani
lest. A special train will probably be
run on the Burlington, and doubtless a
large crowd will attend from here.
The, DEBORAH City Band has been en-
gagged to make the trip and to give an
open air concert in West Union.

be pleased to learn that he is making
u great success as a singer, and that

demand in all parts of the country.
This item is from the U. l. U. Collegian,
where he was engaged to sing during
commencement week:
Among the many interesting fea-
lures of Commencement the most
prominent was the singing of Marion
b. Green, of Dubuque. Mr.. Green is
a young man with an exceptionally
fine appearance which captivated and
held spel!-bound his highly appreciat-
i've audiences He rendered some
of the most classical numbers from
Buck and Pontius with a grace and
ease which showed very plainly that
he is young man of wonderful nat
ural ability. His training has been of
the best and his whole time is spent in
conscientious work. He is an artist
with brilliant future before him."
The following is from the Waterloo

makes good appearance on the stage,
and his voice is remarkably sweet,
mellow and round-toned. He was a
favorite from the uttering of the first
note.
"he three songs, 1.-The Prodigal,"
''Thour't Like Unto Flower" aud the
ballad of "Tne Arrow and the Song"
composed by Pontius of Dubuque
were sung by Marion Green Mr..

Passing of Mrs. DR.. F. W. Daubney.

After lingering illness which, con-
fined her to her bed since January 10,
Mrs. DIR. f. w. Daubney passed peace
fully away at her home on Main
street on Friday morning. Mrs. Daub-
ney had been an invalid for several
years, but for about a year previous to
her last illness had been in much
better health than usual.
Edith l.. Strayer was born near
Freeport, this county, Oct. p, 1861,
and was the only daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Geo. ST aver, of Freeport. She
was married to F. w. Daubney Sept.
2, 1850, and lived with him at Frank
vile, where he was at that time teach
ing school. Later she went with him
to Iowa City, where he attended the
university, returning again t. Frank
vile. In November, 1887, they moved
to DEBORAH, and have since lived here.
One son, Maurice, with her husband,
remains to mourn her loss, who have
the sympathy of an extensive acquain-
lance in their sad bereavement. The
funeral services were held from the
home on Main street Sunday after
noon, Rev. DR.. M. Willett officiating,
and the remains were inferred in
Phelps cemetery, followed by an un-
usually large number of friends. The
floral offerings were numerous and
very beautiful. Mrs. Daubney was a
kind and loving wife and neighbor, a
lady of accomplishment and high
character, who bore her affiiction un-
complainingly. Her death will he
deeply incurred by large circle of
friends.

A Commendable Improvement.

Since the close of school the Board
Of Directors has caused large iron gates
to be erected across the different en-
frances to the high school building.
The vestibules have in the past been
rendezvous for young people at all times
of the night, and have been the cause
Of much annoyance to the police of the
city. The closing of the entrances by
iron gates will hereafter prevent them
being used for purposes other than that
for which they were constructed.
