wrench. The wrench slipped off and
as result the owner of the ranch hurt
his hand. The wrench was thrown
away and the owner remarked: "Ole,
I'm going to buy new monkey
wrench" "Well ay gas ay quit ma
yob if so" replied the swede. "Why,
Ole, you would not quit me after work
ing for me all these years. Ole, you

COMING TO DEBORAH
The Turkish Oil Company, Of Cresco,
Has Bought The Foundry Building
and is Moving Here.

Negotiations which have been pend
ing for several weeks were concluded
last week for the purchase of the east
thirty feet of the Ammon Scott foundry
building, on West Water street, three
stories high, by the Turkish Oil Com
pany, of Cresco. who are now busy
cleaning up the building and will at
once prepare for occupancy. The floors
will be raised to grade with the street,
a new plate glass front constructed,
new windows put in, and the building
entirely renovated and repaired so that
it will have the appearance of a modern
structure.
This company manufactures twenty
different varieties of veterinary reme-
dies, and has been enjoying a satis-
factory sale of the same, with rapidly
increasing trade the past year or two.
They will employ several hands, which
will mean five or six new families for
Decorah. The Messrs. Walker, the
proprietors, are very pleasant gentle
men to meet, and are progressive and
energetic people. They will at once
assume a prominent place in our busi-
ness circles, we believe, and we wish
them unlimited success.
There have been rumors afloat for
several weeks of the securing of a large
factory to occupy the rest of this build
ing, and we may have some news in
that direction next week.

DON'T get in panic and sell off your
stock before you have to do so. The
prices will go no lower and you will
have to suffer in a double sense. If
you have several head of cattle, better
sell only rart of them now and try
and carry the others over. Wait a
while before you sell off any great
quantity. You don't know but what
the corn crop will be abundant for all
your wants. The next two or three
weeks will fully settle this matter. In
the mean time sell just as little of your
stock as possible. The drouth in Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Nebraska, has com
PEELED the rush of their stock to the
market, and this means, later ON, big
demand for cattle and hogs at a good
round price-that's the reason we are
warning you not to lose your heads

Two little children, five and seven
years, in Winnesheik county. were
sent after the cows in a wooded pasture
last Friday evening. Not returning,
the mother went in search and her
loud calling aroused the neighborhood
and an organized search for the lost
children began. Their bare feet tracks
were discovered where they had come
out of the woods into the road, aud
these tracks were followed for over thir-
teen miles before the little tots
were found at three o'clock the next
morning by the side of the road fast
asleep, where they had sunk exhausted
from their long tramp. They had been
seen on the road by different persons
who tried TO find out who they were
and where they were going, but as
they could neither speak or understand
English no information could he OBJ

The Beers evacuated the town during the
night prior to Plumers arrival, after blow
ing up two trucks laden with ammunition,
Lord Kitchener reports the capture of
l6 prisoners, so horses and the depot of

ports that 100 men of the British lancers
and imperial yeomanry were attacked by
the Beers to the north of Aberdeen and that
after several hours fighting the British
were surrounded and captured with the ex-
ception of 20, who succeeded in making
their escape.

Deer Park, April "a wreck occurred
recently on the Spokane Falls & Northern
railway four miles from Deer Park, be-
tween that place and Clayton. 1t was
said to have been caused by a defective
switch Two engines were blocked to-
gether in head end collision and ditched,
carrying with them eight cars loaded with
coke. The boxcars were badly damaged.
Little or no damage resulted to the en-

take several days to clear away the wreck.
A track has been constructed around the
wreck, over which trains are now passing.
