Death of E.. Schoonmaker.

There are many in DecOrah who will
regret to learn of the death of Ezra
Schoonmaker, at Ossian at six o'clock
Friday evening. 1t will be remember
ed that about two weeks ago Mr..
Schoonmaker fell from ladder while
painting house east of Ossian, and
sustained broken hip and arm. be-
sides internal injuries. He did not
improve as rapidly as hoped for, but
died of the injuries. Mr.. Schoonmakei
has been a resident of this county for a
good many years, and was well known,
Ezra SchoOnmaker was born In
Ulster county, New York, January IS,
lS4S and died August 8, 1901, making
him SO years, 6 months and 10 days
old. He moved to Winnesheik county,
Iowa, with his parents in 1857 and was
married in November 1869 to Miss
lola Webster. To them were born 8
children, of whom with their mother
survive him.
The sermon by Rev. Platt, ofCalmar,
though short, was impressive. The
Masonic service was beautiful.
He is sleeping and at rest, but his
untimely death win long be spoken OF
with sorrow.
The large and sympathetic audience
that followed him to his resting place
in Centennial cemetery on Sunday
can testify to the place that he held in
their hearts as friend and valued citi-
Zen.

ton is instructed to vote for +. p.

the other. In all probability the can
didate will be f. p. Johnson.

and Senatorial Conventions. The
Proceedings.

About thirty of the faithful demo-
Gratis of the county met ut the court
house Saturday afternoon in response
to call that had been previously
issued, to select delegates to the state
and senatorial conventions, and to
transact such other business as came
before it. Lack of local interest in the
selection of these delegates was the
cause of the light attendance.
The convention was called to order
by A. Bernatz, chairman of the county
central committee. who announced that
the committee had selected M. j.
Carter, of Ossian as temporary chair
man. Mr. Carter took the chair with
an appropriate speech of acceptance.
M. A. Kubish, of Fort Atkinson, was
elected temporary secretary. Upon
motion the committee of three on
credentials was appointed by the chair
consisting of Dan Shea, A. G. Heck
and A. Bernatz. After deliberation
the committee reported delegates anu
unaccredited representatives present
from Military, Washington, Glenwood,
Decorah, Jackson, Springfield, Bluff
ton and Frankville townships and the
four wards of Decorah. The gentle
men present without credentials were
allowed seats at the convention. On
motion the Temporary organization
was made permanent. A committee
of three to select list of delegates to
the state and senatorial conventions
was then appointed by the chair, con-
sisting of A. Bernatz, Dan Shea and
o. p. Rocksvold. The committee re-
tired and after a few moments pre-
sented the following names, who were
selected by the convention as dele

their first concert at home this season
and the different numbers were en-
Enthusiastically encored. The precise
execution of difficult selections called
forth unlimited praise, and the popular
organization ably sustained their well

very best bands in the state of Iowa.

Bad Fire at Lime Springs.

About half past twelve o'clock Fri
pay morning, fire started in the oil
ware room in the rear of Love Bros.
drug store at Lime Springs, from some
unknown cause. The fire extended
rapidly consuming everything on two
entire blocks exceptth the exchange bank
and the small buildings adjoining 1t on
the south. But little of the large stock
of goods of its merchants was saved.
The hotel and both livery stables were
consumed. The protection the city
had against fire was totally inadequate,
as dry as every thing was. to save the
wooden row that faced both sides of its
principal street.

ACCORDING to the Kansas City Times
a Kansas editor got his wires crossed
and lost two subscribers recently. One
correspondent wrote asking how to
raise twins successfully and the other
asking the best method of ridding his
orchard of grass hoppers. The answers
went forward by mail, but by accident
he put them into the wrong envelopes,
so that the man with twins received
the following answer: "Cover them
carefully with straw and set fire to 1t,
and the little pests, after jumping In

grasshoppers was told to ''give them

to 60 days in Jail, but was given the
alternate of leaving town or serving the
sentence. He has been re-arrested and is
in Jail now for the vagrancy offense.

the opinion that the evidence against
Miller on the burglary charge is pretty
conclusive. The watch alleged to have
been stolen was found in his pocket, and
was identified by Lawrence, and dollar
was also found upon him.

will not disturb the authorities again

(Rv Associated Press

(By Associated Press)
New York, Dec. 30-The opening stock
market was irregular and within mar
row limits. An outbreak of liquidation
in Amalgamated depressed it 2N points,
to 6Sas, and encouraged bear selling If
other specialties
Sugar, Anaconda, Manhattan, l. c. W..
Westinghouse and Brooklyn Transit lost
from to 2 points, and for the railroads
Central were the weakest, losing about
a point.
A subsequent recovery of a point in
Amalgamate9 and Sugar and a sharp
rally in Reading and Missouri Pacific
stiffened the entire list and some stocks
got back to opening figures
The rally in the specialties was used
by traders to unload various other
stocks, and there was relapse all
around. Trading then became dull and
fitful.
The scarcity of money which loaned
at IL per cent, acted as a drag on the
market.
Prices ruled quite strongly during the
early afternoon. The enormous demand
for Reading, which crossed IS, contrib
uted to the Improvement.
Heavy selling of Sugar and Anal
gamated developed later and the former
dropped to 49, the lowest of the day.
The Pacific and Western stocks also be-
came reactionary.
