GREATER DEBORAH A SURE THING.
Annexation Proposition Carries by Ter
Majority In West DEBORAH and
Eighty in DEBORAH.

The annexation of West DEBORAH to
the city of DEBORAH. which has been
one of the chief topics of discussion
for the past few weeks, was settled at
the special election yesterday by both
towns voting for the annexation The
vote in West DEBORAH stood 81 for and
81 against, nearly the whole vote of
the town being cast. There was a
lively fight on the question over there
on both sides and the majority in con-
sequence is quite small In DEBORAH
about half of the regular vote was
cast aud not much interest was mani
fest, although perhaps the opposi-
ton vote was larger THAI was ex-
pected. The vote by Wards was as

COUNTY DEMOCRATS MEET.
Mass Convention Feature Proves Popular
and the Attendance was Large and
Enthusiastic for the
Nominees.

The county Democracy introduced a
novelty in the convention line by
choosing their county ticket this fall
by mass meeting instead of the regu-
lar delegate convention. The plan
proved a popular one and drew a
large number of the faithful from all
over the county in spite of the I'M
favorable weather.
The convention was called to order
by Frank Sayre, secretary of the
county committee, and on motion Dan
Shea was chosen permanent chairman
of the convention and G. G. Coutant
secretary.
The convention then proceeded to
nominate candidates for the several
county offices, and the following
ticket was selected without opposi-
ton:
County Attorney, Frank Sayre of
DEBORAH.
County Clerk, W. H. Evans of Ply
mouth Rock.
County Auditor, A. A. Novak of
Spillville.
County Recorder, Aug. Kjome of
DEBORAH.
The only scrap of the convention
was on the method of selecting the
candidates for supervisor. The town
ships in district No. 3 had held eau
cuses and selected regular delegates to
select their candidate and although it
was not just in keeping with the pro-
gram of mass convention they were
allowed after some debate to nomin-
ate candidate in this way They
chose r. S. Wolfenberger, the present
supervisor.
The first district held mass caucus
and nominated A. @. Heck for super.
visor.
After the customary motion to EN-.
power the central committee to fill al
vacancies that may occur on the
ticket, Mr.. Sayre, the candidate fol
county attorney, addressed the conven
ton till adjournment time.
The ticket is looked upon as stron,
one, made up of some of the best mel
of the party. but of course has NJ
hopes of success

GRIDIRON NEWS.
DEBORAH Defeats WaukOn Friday by the
Score of II to 0..GOod Prospects
for the Home Team.

The football game at the fair
grounds last Friday afternoon was a
walk over for the home team, albeit
the game was very we'll played one
for the beginning of the season. The
visitors were fairly outplayed by
their opponents, but put up plucky
fight. Had their team been made up
of players of the class of Eaton and
Clark they might have carried the
banner of victory with them very
easily. These two played fierce game
and smashed the line for good gains
at all times. For the home team Bidne
and Brorby made the touchdowns by
good ground gaining and Kuowlton
at full back was always present in the
game also The lineup is as follows {:

If you were asked what one thing
did more to create harmony, and pro-
mote peace in the human family, your
answer could be given in one
word-Music. From the earliest days
right down to the present time. music
has been regarded as one of the great
est joys and pleasures of mankind.
1t is that subtitle force that washes
away the dust of everyday life and
leads to everything good, just and
beautiful. If we are not fortunate
enough to possess musical ability our
selves, we appreciate it all the more
in those who do possess it and this
brings us down to the subject of this
sketch.
No social gathering is complete now
adays without music of some sort to
liven up the festivities bit, and as a
means of showing their appreciation
of customer patronage as we'll as fill
long felt want in this direction,
Messrs. Ingvoldstad q Co. have organ
lied the above named quartette. They
had long thought that an organization
of this kind to sing at parties and
other social gatherings in the country
would be appreciated by their many
friends and patrons, and the way the
quartette has been received proves
that the appreciation of the people
has been most evident. AS stated
above, the object of organizing this
quartette by Messrs. Ingvoldstad q
Co. was to entertain their friends in
the country whenever they could add
their contribution to the festivities,
and after hearing them sing a few Sc
lections we can more fully appreciate
the public spiritedness shown by this
4 firm in organizing the Lumbermen' s
4 Quartette. But this is simply another
evidence of their push ana progressive
ness that has made the business OF
Ingvoldstad & Co. success from the
start-success that has been built on
the broad business policy of progress
sion, honest dealing and an earnest
desire to further their customers in
terests at all times, as the organizing
of this quartette proves. The next
time you have party out your way

Lecture Course Arranged For.

Several of the citizens of DEBORAH
have united in the most commend
able undertaking of furnishing to the
people of this city course of lectures
and entertainments The effort is en-
tirely devoid of any financial gain
other than a desire to make the
course pay expenses, and should any
surplus acrue it will be deposited to
help support course next year. A
good course of four numbers has been
arranged and it is hoped that the
people of DEBORAH will take an in
terest in this matter and help them
selves and others to maintain per-
manent lecture course in our city.
The first number of the course is
the Salisbury Orchestra, with Abby
Rose Wood as Soprano Soloist. The
press speak of this company in high
est terms of praise. They will be in
DEBORAH Saturday Oct IS, at the
Grand opera house. Following are
some press comments:

In the Tolls Again.

The preliminary hearing of Jack
Hogan and Jake Putnam, who are
charged with the theft of case of
gold rings from M. d. Wells, was had
before Justice Barthell Friday. Hog
an swore on the witness stand that
he had purchased the rings of Put
nam, but the evidence even in that
being true was pretty strong that he
knew he was purchasing stolen pro-
perty and he was held to await the
action of the grand jury, his bond
being fixed at 81 200. Putnam waiv-
ed examination and was placed under
$500 bonds. Both fellows have been
serving time for crimes, Hogan in the
state penitentiary and Putnam in the
county bastile, and if convicted ON this
charge it is likely they will be
given the full punishment under the
law. The Italian whom they tried to
implicate in the theft was set free, he
having proved complete alibi to the
officers who were on his track.

game ais

Linesman, Vance.
The one feature to mar the game
was the accident to Brorby. He frac-
tured his right collar bone in playing
and will be laid on the foot ball shelf
for month or more, although the
doctor thinks he will be able to be
about in week. His absence from
the team will be keenly felt as he is a
good ground gamer.
The high school team have secured
the services of Parnell Regain to
coach them the rest of the season.
Mr.. Regain comes from Madison. Wis. :,
where he coached the high school
team last season and is also trainer
for the Madison athletic association.
He arrived this morning. The sche-
dule thus far made up includes five
games-two with the New Hampton
high school, two with West Union
and one on Thanksgiving Day at In
dependence.

S0CORRo ELECTION CASE.
Judge Baker Held the Independent Republican Emblem
Was Intended TO Deceive.

The Socorro county election case was
decided by Judge Baker at Albuquerque
Saturday. The court sustained the
plaintiffs contention in part, and held
that the returns received by the county
commissioners from the San Antonio
precinct were illegal because the board
had illegally appointed the judges of
election. He ordered the commissioners
to canvass the returns as made by the
judges of election who were elected by
the electors at the polls. He refused to
enjoin the commissioners from granting
certificates of election on the face of the
returns, but ordered the ballots pre-
served and kept in special custody pend
ing the result of contests, for the reason
that it was admitted that in each pre-
cinct certain number of so-called In
dependent ballots had been voted. The
court held that the emblem of the Inde-
pendent Republicans, the flag stream
ing in the opposite direction from that
adopted by the regular Republicans in
convention and enclose in square, was
used to deceive and defraud.

THE OLD FIGHT
IS RENEWED
Presidents Gompers & Shat
fer Clashed in the Labor
Convention Today.
TO INVESTIGATE CHARGES
Claimed That Gompers Refused
Support During the Great
Steel Strike of Last
Year.

New Orleans, Nov. 1.-THE old dis
pute between President Shaffer of the
Amalga rlated Association of Steel
Workers, and President Gompers of
the American Federation of Labor,
broke out afresh in the labor conven-
ton today and there is every prospect
that on this occasion the fight will be
to finish. The charges We're original
ly made by President Shaffer after the
termination of the great steel strike of
1901. They were to the effect that
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor, and President
John Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers, had been guilty of ununion-
organization in the fight. They, on the
other hand, asserted the association
over which President Shaffer presided,
was trying to violate it's agreements
gate Sheridan Of the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION, a colleague of President
Shaffer in the convention, threw the
bomb by asking unanimous consent to
introduce a resolution calling for an
investigation of the charges. Both
parties announced they courted an in
vestigation and it will be referred to
special committee Of five, two selec-
ted by President Gompers, two byl
President Shaffer, and the four to
choose the fifth. After adjournment,
President Shaffer asserted with great
emphasis: THE entire thing is al
scheme to injure me and to discredit
me so that I cannot be reelected. 7
had no part in the presentation of the
resolution offered by Mr.. Sheridan, and |
/ believe he and Gompers are in COL |
lusion regarding it,
When this statement was made to |
Sheridan, he denied there was any CO.
operation between himself and Presi- |
dent Gompers. The latter said: "Shaf-
fer may be entirely correct when he |
says he did not desire the introduction |
of the resolution, but it is utterly false
that 1 am in league with Sheridan or
anybody else in this matter"

EXPLOSION
in THE SIMP-
SON Mine
In Spite Of Passages Being Filled
With Fire Damp and Smoke
the Night Shift Was
Rescued.
LARGEST OF NORTHERN
COAL COMpANY'S WORKS

Lafayette, Colo. Nov. ia terrific
explosion occurred in the Simpson
mine, the largest of the Northern Coal
morning. A. rescue party was imme-
diately formed and after a search, the
night shift was rescued. Three men
were severely burned about the hands
injured. Their rescue was almost a
miracle, as fire damp or smoke was
everywhere in the mine. 1t is thought
the fire in the mine will be controlled
by night,
