king Dodo" made a record sale,
and within two hours after the board
was put up, the house was sold out
Such thing was never heard of before
in Decorah, and it will be a long time
before it will happen again. The fact
is that the Castle Square Theatres
liking Dodo" is the finest amusement
aggregation travelling in the United
States today and everybody knows it.
In consequence those who seldom pat
ronize place of amusement reserved
the liking Dodo" date as the one they
would patronize and enjoy. Then
came the difficulty. Those who failed
to be at the place of sale in the early
morning could get no seat. There was
but one alternative and that was to ar
range matinee, but this was not easy
with such an aggregation of stars as
compose the "King Dodo" company.
However it has been accomplished,
and at 2.30 Monday afternoon, March
18th, "King Dodo" will be presented
in all its glamour, with its enhancing
music and its sfunniest of all funny come
dians. In order to get here accompany
will arrive at midnight on Sunday
on its own special train, and on Tuesday
they will leave at 7.30a. m likewise
on their own special. The liking
Dodo" company has one most decided
advantage over princess Chic" in that
it carries superb orchestra that
one costs nearly $500 per week. This
matinee is given that those who were
unable to obtain seats for the regular
evening performance and prices will
be the same, i. e., 75c, ST. 90 and $1.50.

TWO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.
Geo. M. Clark Badly Burned in South
Dakota, and John Limbeck Crushed
by Train at Calmar.

The news of q serious accident to Mr..
Geo. M. Clark, of this city, at New
Salem, s. D., last Wednesday, was re-
ceived with sorrow by his many friends
in this city. He was just recovering
from long and painful sickness, and
had gone to South Dakota to look up
the land business, which he expected
to be engaged in this summer. With
an associate, Mr.. Arlington, he went
down into a mine near New Salem, to
see the methods employed in mining.
Mr.. Arlington set off a squib to show
him how it worked, and the fire COM
municated with powder stored in the
mine, which exploded and seriously
burned them, Mr.. Clark being badly
burned on the face and hands. He is
now at the home of his father in St.
Paul, and reports come that he will
not be crippled any, and that he is
getting along nicely.
John Limbeck, of Ossian, but who
has been staying here good deal of
late, was run over by the cars at Cal
mar Saturday night, and leg cut off.
1t is supposed that he and Ambrose
Duffy, who was with him, were in
toxicated, and that they were stealing
a ride to Calmar. 1t is thought that
they were behind the tender, and in
some way Limbeck in attempting to
jump off in the yards at Calmar, slip
ped under the wheels, and the right
leg was so badly crushed that it was
necessary to amputate it. Drs. Hefien
and Jewell performed the surgical
work, and he was placed in the rail-
road house, where he is being taken
care of.

Firemen are Bauqueted.

The banquet rendered to the fire de-
partment by the city council in the
name of the city of Decorah at the st.
Cloud hotel on Thursday evening, was
an appropriate demonstration by the
city of its appreciation of the faithful
and efficient services of its firemen, and
the delicate menu so neatly served by
the ST. Cloud was credit to that
popular hotel. The fire boys were out
in uniform and all were in happy
mood, and when the delicious viands
had been slowed away, number of
toasts were responded to by members
of the council and department. After
ward a meeting of the department was
held at the city hall, followed by a
smoker. The evening was very en-
joyable one for the boys, and we move
that it be made an annual affair.

Abe Jones Replies.

/ supposed my remarks in last weeks
Public Opinion on taxes, etc., were SO
fair and just that they would elicit no
reply. But why Mrs. Jones was
brought into the matter who has said
nor done anything but pay all de-
mands against her, has strong look
like an ungentlemanly proceeding.
What do or say i am responsible for,
not Mrs. Jones. Had her name been
left out the matter would have ended
with no further comments. But when
a lady is published as tax dodger
who has made no complaint, said
nothing for publication and paid all
demands, it would seem to be best for
other people to mind their own busi-
ness. My friend who comments upon
my article has been short and so will
be my answer for several reasons.
1st. If going to battle / prefer foe
man wol thy of my steel.
2nd. My friend borrows sosmuch
literature that it is doubtful whom to
engage.
Sd. There is nothing so tiresome as
to kick at nothing.
4th. The space in this paper is too
valuable to be occupied by discussion
with a graduate of kindergarten
school. ABE JONES.

Anniversary a Great Success.

The twenty-fifth anniversary of Mr..
X. I. Haugen's business life in Decorah
will remain a pleasant memory in the
minds of all who participated for many
years to come. 1t was the signal cli-
max of the career of this esteemed
merchant, and the people of Winnie
sheik county and southeastern Mime
sofa united with him in a celebration
of the event that was indeed gratifying.
All day Saturday and until late at
night, constant stream of people
crowded into his store, so that it was
packed full all day long, and Monday
and yesterday the large force of extra
assistants were kept constantly busy,
Notwithstanding the inclement wealth
er. On Saturday afternoon and even
ing the Luther College orchestra
furnished delightful music, and on
Monday and yesterday the music of q
piano skillfully executed kept the Wis
itors in happy frame of mind. A
very pleasant surprise was the appear
ance of the Luren on Saturday night,
which rendered several charming and
much appreciated selections, in con-
graduating him. 1t was altogether
felicitous event, a conscientious ac-
knowledgement by the people of the
friendship and esteem in which Mr..
Haugen is held, both as business
man and citizen. Congratulatory let
ters and telegrams have been pouring
in from all parts of the country, two
of which are especially esteemed, let
ter from Mr.. Theo. Wold, cashier of
the Merchants Bank of Winona, Minn.,
who started in life with Mr.. Haugen
as delivery boy many years ago, and
a telegram from Mr.. Bear, local coll
league in business in Decorah, who is
east on business trip.

of the Authors club in London in
company with Lord Salisbury, the
younger Gladstone and others. In
the course Of the conversation young
Gladstone asked Carnegie whether the
people of the United States were not
impressed by England's great warlike
naval preparations. Mr.. Carnegie re-
piled that the American people didn't
care if England had thousand war
ships. "But" said Mr.. Gladstone Sin
that case we could blockade the entire
American coast" "And them" re-
piled Mr.. Carnegie. sit would be pos
sible for the president of the United
States to place an embargo on all ex-
ports, with the result that within
three weeks England would be starv-
ing" Mr.. Gladstone had no more to
say.

AN American poet once said: "The
Monarch breads the printers frown."
That was stating the case little too
strongly perhaps. but the modern mon
arch certainly has respect for the
printer and wishes to gain his good
will. Otherwise the German Emperor
hardly would have looked with evident
approval on the presence Of his brother
at the banquet given by the press OF
the United States, nor would he have
hidden his brother ITO keep in mind,
that the press men in the United
States rank almost with my generals
in command" From the point OF
view of the German Emperor this is,
indeed, compliment.
