A Harvest Field Accident.

Last Wednesday morning while
Mike Courtney of Bluffton township
and two others were hitching team
to a binder preparatory to cutting
grain, the horses became frightened
and started to run. The three men
held on to them for quite ways, and
when they got to the end of the field
the horses gave quick turn, throw
ing Mr.. Courtney and his hired man,
who still had ahold of the horses, to
the ground. The cycle wheel and
platform passed over the hired man
without injuring him, but Mr.. Court
ney was run over by the large wheel,
and both bones of his leg broken
above the ankle, besides his body be-
ing badly bruised in several places.
DR.. j. G.. Lewis, of Ridgeway, set the
fractures, and has been caring for the
unfortunate man. The binder was
damaged but little

Compliment to DEBORAH Merchant.

The last issue of the Chicago Dry
Goods Reporter. journal published
for the trade, and one that is very
critical and careful in its commend
ations of business houses, contains
a beautiful half tone cut of the in
terror of the store of one of our popu-
lar dry goods merchants, Mr.. K. /.
Haugen, and then comments upon it
in terms which speak highly for Mr..
Haugen as a merchant who looks care
fully after every detail of the success
full business he enjoys. In connection
with the cut it says:
1.-THE interior view illustrated
here is taken from the store of X. l.
Haugen, of DEBORAH, Iowa. This
is one of a number of views sent US
of his store and all present the
same neat, clean, business-like appear
ance. This particular Characters
tic is no doubt responsible in large
measure for Mr.. Haugen's success as
a retailer. The buying community
appreciates an orderly store when it
comes to buying merchandise
Notable successes can be cited when
stores have handled merchandise in
jumbled-up manner. But the sue
cess of such stores is due to stimula-
ting methods of drawing trade, and
the selling is never on sound foun-
dation, but must be kept up by stimu-
lants. This sort of business is not
the kind the country merchant should
aim to build up, is hard trade
to hold and means constant strain
to keep it going. The foundation
of satisfaction can only be built upon
cultivating the come again customers.

Couldn't Work the DEBORAH Druggists.

On Saturday a smooth individual
giving his name as J. d. Frank came
to the city and called on our drug
gists, representing some kind of corn
cure. He was good talker, and con-
tracted with them to place an adver-
tisement in DEBORAH paper for one
year, and to distribute advertising
through the city thoroughly, in con-
sideration of their putting in a line
of his goods. He had been to Ossian,
Cresco and Ridgeway and made the
same representations. On Monday the
druggists here began to suspect that
something was wrong and instituted
an investigation, when they found
that he had not done as he had agreed
about the advertisement and distri-
button of samples, and had skipped
his board bill, so they hunted up the
sheriff and had Frank arrested at
Calmar He took back all the corn
cure, returned the money received,
paid the costs, in all about 800, and
was allowed to go his way. wiser

MRS. COLBY.

Last week Monday morning, Mrs.
Lucy Colby passed quietly away at
the home of ther daughter, Mrs. A. M.
Cairns Mrs. Colby was born in Que
beck, Canada, August Goth, 1924; she
was. therefore nearly rs years old
when she died. Mrs. Colby was sore
ly afflicted For three years she was
unable to walk or wait upon herself.
In order to care for her, Mrs. Cairns
brought her mother home from New
York state, some eighteen months
ago. 1t has required constant and un-
remitting care, but the service was
cheerfully rendered. During these
weeks the deceased gradually lost
strength and the change was so grad
ual that her death was a surprise.
She passed peacefully away. The
funeral, conducted by Rev. J. W..
Allen, was held at the home of Mr..
Cairns on Wednesday afternoon. The
burial was in the addition to Phelps
cemetery.

For a Lecture Course.

An effort is being made to secure
one of the high class lecture courses
for DEBORAH the coming season, and it
now bids fair to be a success. 1t will
be necessary for number of men to
club together and guarantee the at
fractions, but this will probably be
done. sub excellent talent as the
celebrated Salisbury Orchestra, Lou
J. Beauchamp, the laughing philoso-
pher, Ralph Bingham, the monologue
entertainer, and Hon. Geo. A. Gear
hart, of Buffalo, N. Y. are talked off.

Attempt to Rob winnesheik Co. Bank

1t is firmly believed that an attempt
was made to rob the Winnesheik
County Bank on Friday evening.
Several suspicious looking characters
had been seen about the city during
the day, and at $50 O'Clock in the
evening, the burglar alarm in Wang
ler's drug store sounded loudly
Wangler Bros both heard it and rush
ed to the rear door, when they heard
retreating footsteps and a sharp
whistle, which sounded as if coming
from the roof of N. r. Groff's hard
ware. They quickly found the police
and made a search of the rear of the
premises, but no one could be found.
1t is thought that the parties were
endeavoring to effect an entrance from
the roof thus early in the evening, so
as to have ample time to work on the
vault. However, the vaults and
safes of his bank are among the very
best in the state, and are supposed to
be burglar proof. At all events, it
proves the efficiency of the alarm sys-
TEN of this bank, and the care with
which they guard their patrons de-
posits. Nothing further has since
developed in regard to the matter,
and the persons mentioned above are
not to be found in the city.

Special Announcement.

The management of the fair are sim
ply more than pleased to announce to
the people of Winnesheik and surroun-
ding counties, that they have engaged,
as special attraction for the Winn-
esheik County Fair, the "Tolbert
Running Combination, consisting of
hurdle races, hippodrome races, chariot
races, umbrella races, etc. TheTolberts
are PROMINENTLY known all over the
country as the best people in their line
of business, and their attractions are of
such a splendid character that they
have been re-engaged at the Minnesota
State Fair for the past six seasons.
It's great streak of luck for the man
agement to have been able to contract
with these people, as the attraction is
one of the very best ever seen at any
county fair. Tie Tolberts carry
10 thoroughbred horses, and their
work will be applauded by everyone
who will attend the fair. This is an
attraction of the fair and of course no
extra admission will be charged.
Bladder & LaVelle, bicycle trick
sters, are with US again, with new
ideas ON the bike. Their work was so
much appreciated last season that the
management thought it well to re-en-
gage them.
Base ball and the usual attractions
at county fairs will be seen, and all
together the attractions promise to
be the best we have had for many
years. So book the dates, Aug. 26,
27, 20, 30, 1902.
