Especial letter.

Miss Lillian Is. Taylor of Detroit
Mich, Is a very remarkable young
woman. who prefers to summer on
Western ranch instead of at a fash.
ionable resort, and who shoots bears
and kills rattlesnakes in place of play.
ing golf, TO pass away the time.
Miss Taylors father owns a ranch in
Montana, near Butte. and thither the
young lady hied herself early in June
as she has been In the habit of doing
for several summers past. She is o
devotee of horseback riding, and one
morning soon after her arrival at the
ranch, while taking her constitutional
she found that the big traps had closed
over a huge bear, who was growing
and roaring in pain. Miss Lillian al
ways carries her rife when out on
horseback, and as she neared the mon
ster and viewed the situation, she
raised her rifle, took good aim. and let
fly bullet that did the work without
delay. Bruin gave one dying. groan
and rolled over, dead bear. The
beast measured six feet In length.
Miss Taylor keeps her eye on the
traps from day to day, and later she
shot another bear, not quite so large
Miss Taylor is passionately fond Of
the wild, free life of the ranch. She IL
a splendid shot and a superb horse
woman. She has owned a pony since
she was years OF age, and her friends
recall the times when she used to
hitch up the pony, the COW, and the
dog, tandem, and drive them about the
back yard of her Detroit home She
rides horseback astride, wearing di
vided skirts, a red wool sweater and q
ide-brimmed fedora hat. She is a
blonde, small in stature. strong, attn
letic, bright and healthy. When she
comes home to Detroit she avoids So
cial functions, and loves rather to
mount her horse and speed away on
the boulevard. She is fond of reading
and cares little for the companionship
or admiration of the opposite sex.
But let it not be thought that Miss
Taylor lacks womanly accomplish
ments. On the contrary. she is an un-
usually fine pianist and her instructor

declares that she promises to be
prodigy in this line. So acute is her
ear for melody. and so deft her fingers
to initiate, that her teacher refuses to
play new piece OF music for her, lest
she Immediately play it back again for
him-by ear, neglecting the necessary
study.
Miss Taylor also adds to her accom-
plishments that of figure skating. II is
as natural for her to glide over the ice
like a bird on the wing as ii is for
the average young society woman to
dance to the strains of the alluring
waltz. Such an adept is this young
lady in the art of managing the steel
shoes that her former instructor saiu
that he would like to take her to New
York and see her skate against the
prize winners at the rinks In that city.
There is hardly a figure imaginable
that she cannot cut upon the Ice. and
a very pretty picture she makes, as
with Redeemed cheeks. sparkling eyes
and hair wind-blown, she glides over
the ice. She is what her friends call
"a natural skate-," and really seems
to inherit the art. II one may be said
to do so, as her mother, Mrs Taylor,
and her mothers sister, Mrs. Davis,
are among the best skaters in that vi
cinity.

THE LAND OF SWEET cHEsTNuTs


In no part of the world does the bust
ness of growing chestnuts receive so
much attention and involve the outlay
of so much capital as in various parts
of France. These delicious and popu-
lar nuts are shipped from France to
all other countries, the United States
receiving goodly share. Investiga-
ton does not show that the soil of
France l. any better adapted 10 the
growth of chestnuts than many parts
of this country, and there is no appar-
ent reason why this profitable industry
might not be taken up and developed
here. adding thereby to the value of
lands almost worthless for other crops.
Interesting and valuable facts and
suggestions on this subject may be de-
rived from a report on the French
chestnut industry submitted to our
State Department by Consul Covert Of
Lyons. He says that many varieties of
chestnuts are grown in number of
departments in France. They are called
/ in French "marrons" and chataignes."
The latter is the smaller and the less
/ desirable of the two. There is onS I'M
divided meat in the shell of the mar
ron, while the ckataigne is divided into
/
/ enveloped in an epiderm, which does
/ does not exist in the marion. The mar
ron is cultivated only by grating,
while the chataigne grows wild. Plants
! grated for the best varieties of chest
nut-trees can be bought within a few
miles OF Lyons.
| In some parts of Franc. in what are
lealled the scbisr lands, chestnuts form a
very important article of daily food.
They are boiled, pulverized and eaten

/ city and nearly every village, during
| the fall and winter, they are sold in
doorways and on street corners, fresh

abused for his position in this matter,

AFTER THIRTY-THREE YEARS
Mr.. William X. Smith Greets His
Children, Who Had Long Sup
posed Him Dead.

We have all read in dime novels the
thrilling stories of men who had left
their homes and roamed the world
over, their friends and relatives believ-
ing them to be dead, and after many
years returned to the scenes of their
youth, and found new country,
scarcely recognizable to them, and one
by one they have discovered members
of their family, old friends, school
mates and playmates, and the joy of
meeting them was almost overwhelm-
ing. Decorah, among all her varied
experiences, had never witnessed such
q scene as this until last week there
unassumingly drifted into town a man
who forty years ago was one of the
well known residents of this vicinity,
Mr.. w. r. Smith, father of Will, Fred,
and Geo. Smith and Mrs. G. NJ. Wilson.
He had not been heard from since
thirty-three years ago, when he left
his home here, and the family and
friends supposed that he was dead.
There are many interesting incidents
concerning his home coming, one of
them being the fact that he did not
know that his wife, Mrs. Smith, was
dead, and she died twenty-five years
ago. His life has been a secluded one,
and he has seen many of the ups and
downs of this world. ASS greater part
of the time has been spent in mining,
he is strong and of robust
health. 1t is unnecessary to state
that his family and friends of old were
overjoyed to see him, and they will
spend many happy hours listening to
his experiences, and telling him
theirs. He was warmly greeted
home. and no doubt greatly enjoys
being here again.

A Very Sudden Death.

The many friends of Mr.. Ernest Golz
Were deeply panied on Sunday to learn
of his sudden death, from inflamma-
tion of the bowels, after an illness OF
only one day. He was taken sick Sat
urday morning and died on Sunday
morning at.l1:45 o'clock, aged 81 years,
months and II days.
Ernest Golz was born in Germany,
April s, 1850, and came to this country
when boy. In 1874 he married Miss
Minnie Kohtz, and to them were born
eight children, three of whom died in
youth. His aged father, two brothers,
two sisters, his wife and five children,
besides many friends mourn his un-
timely death. The funeral services
were held from the German M. f.
church yesterday afternoon at 3 O'Clock
attended by large number of neigh
bors and friends. and were conducted
in English by Rev. w. V. Schlung.
Mr.. Golz was an honest, industrious,
unassuming man, one who gained the
respect and esteem of all who knew
him by his strict attention to his trade,
that of carpenter, and has for years
been faithful and trusted employe OF
Mr.. Geo. Drummer. He had many
friends and few if any enemies, and
his sudden death will be deeply mourn
ed by all who knew him. A large ac-
quaintance join, us in extending eA-
pressions of coincidence to the grief
stricken family.

THE BIG FAIR is ON
PROMISES TO BE A BIG SUCCESS
A Line Of Attractions Unexcelled.
Many Side Shows and Exhibits
Coming in Rapidly.

The present indications are that the
Winnesheik County Fair f,r this year
will be the best that has been held in
many years. The first day opened yes
terday auspiciously, with the usual
number of side shows, stands, and
ground attractions, which the associa-
| ton was fortunate in securing, on ac-
count of this being an open week be-
tween the big fairs, and they stopped
here on their way to the Minnesota
state fair. The exhibits are coming in
rapidly and everything will be in shape
for today's program. Floral Hall and
Agricultural Hall ARE being looked
after, and the displays are now nearly
all in place. The stock exhibit prom
ises to be large and varied, as we'll as
that of machinery, etc. One of the in
teresting exhibits will be the new
"Winnesheik" thresher patented by
j. d. Hawes, which will be run by
large electric motor, displayed by the
Decorah Electric Light Co.
The Decorah City Band headed the
procession to the grounds yesterday
afternoon and enlivened the program
with their delightful music. After
selection, Baader & LaVelle, the trick
bicycle riders, gave an exhibition on a
raised platform in front of the grand
stand which was conceded by all to be
the best of the kind ever given on the
grounds. They are artists of high or
der and will prove an attraction well
worth seeing. Their performance was
followed by half mile running race,
two heats, in which Calcaska won first
money, Patsie second and Anna third;
time l:03 and LOG. This was followed
by an exhibition on the revolving lad
der by the Palaros, which delighted the
crowd. They are high grade perform
ers and their difficult feats are highly
lapplauded. Then Colorado Charley,
an attraction engaged too late for adj
vertising, gave an exhibition of rifle
shooting that demonstrated his ability
and pleased all. This was followed by
an exhibition by the Laytons, acrobats
andjugglers which was also good, and
brought out favorable comment. Any
OF the big attractions are worth the
price of admission to the fair, and we
hope large crowd will attend each
day.
The program for this afternoon is one
of the best ever given on the fair
grounds, and no doubt will be witness
ed by large crowd. There are so
many attractions on the grounds, out
side of the regular ones presented by
the association that it is difficult to
name them all. The merry -go-round,
the herd of buffalos, the big fat boy,
the s0ake eater, etc. are all here and
will gladden. the small boy. Follow

The Ossian Street Fair.

Quite q number from Decoiah at
tended the street fair at Ossian both on
Friday and Saturday. The attendance
was fairly good and the exhibits and
amusements about the same as last
year. 1t was an occasion where old
friends and neighbors might meet to-
gether and visit, with just enough
amusement to keep them from becom-
ing weary. The people of Ossian did
their best to entertain the people, and
we presume that all who attended en-
joyed ii. At least we did ourselves.
