WAS A SPLENDID MEETING
REPUBLICAN RALLY FRIDAY A SUCCESS
Addresses of Hon. M. D. OC0nael and
Congressman G. N. Haugen Listened
to by a Good Sized Audience.

Although there seems to be but lit.
tie interest taken in national politics
this year and there are few if any is.
sues at stake, and 1t was day in
which farmers could accomplis
much with their work, yet the repub-
lican meeting at the Grand opera
house on Friday afternoon was well
attended and was success in every
way. Owing to misunderstanding
Mr.. O'Connell, Solicitor of the U. s.
Treasury, did not come on the noon
train, he having been notified that it
would be an evening meeting, and
did not arrive until the 2 40 train.
However Congressman G. N. Haugen
arrived at noon, and was met at the
depot by the committee and others in
carriages, and driven to the Winnie
sheik.
The people were little slow in ar
irving at the opera house, the report
having gone out that the meeting
would not open until Mr.. O'Connell
arrived, but by the time to commence
there was good crowd present. The
opera house had been Hastily decorated
with palms, flags, and pictures Of Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt. Chairman j.
J. Marsh called the meeting to order,
and announced that the committee
had asked Mr.. A. K. Bailey to pre-
side. With few appropriate remarks
he accepted, and announced the Cresco
Republican Glee Club, who sang
several appropriate selections during
the afternoon to the delight of the
audience, which received hearty ap-
plause. Congressman G. N. Haugen
was then introduced, and talked for
nearly an hour, eulogizing the past
principles and successes of the repub-
lican party, which have brought about
the present unparalleled prosperity,
referring at length to reciprocity,
trusts and imperialism, explaining the
position of the party with regard to
each, and the manner in which these
issues are being dealt with. By the
time Mr.. O'Connell had arrived and
Mr.. Haugen closed his address the
opera house had become we'll filled
with people.
The speech of Mr.. O'Connell was
one of the best ever delivered in De-
corah. His sound, practical, common
sense statement of the present condi-
tion of prosperity with its causes,
mingled with many witticisms,
brought forth repeated applause. He
is splendid speaker, and held the
rapt attention of the audience for
three quarters of an hour, comparing
the wages of day laborers now and at
other times in our history, as we'll as
with foreign countries, ridiculing the
Imperialism bugaboo, outlining the
party's position with regard to trusts,
and closing with impressing upon the
voters the duty they owe to the
country and the party which has al
ways stood for protection, prosperity
and advancement. He was enthusiast
tically applauded when he closed.
The meeting closed with another
excellent number by the Glee Club,
after a couple of hours spent in hear
ing an able and conclusive discussion.

Giving Perfect Satisfaction.

All DEBORAH people are interested
in the success of home institutions,
and will be pleased to learn that the
threshing machines which were in
vented and manufactured by j. d..
Halves have given the best of service
this year. Mr.. ID. P. Halves showed
us the other day photograph of the
first machine which was shipped from
DEBORAH, which he proposes to retain
as a souviner. The machine was pur-
chased by Chas. Holt & Co., of
Postville, who gives it thorough test
and sends the following testimonial to
the factory:

Gentlemen-We cheerfully say that
the Winnesheik we bought from you
this season, gave perfect satisfaction.
1t works perfect in all kinds of grain

trial in the worst grain we ever
threshed and it operates to my perfect
satisfaction.
Chas. Holt g. Co.
There are now thirty of the ma
chimes in operation, and all have high.
ly pleased those operating them. Fiji,
teen machines have been made by the
factory this year, which is good
output considering the fact that they
have had to install all their machin'
cry, and get things in running shape.
They will increase their output next
year, as they feel sure of the success OF
the new..machines, all of them having
given the best of satisfaction. and that
there will be ready market for al

ton. Unfortunately an accident &C.
Cured to its machinery soon after
leaving Norfolk, and it was compel
led to return to that city. Conse-
quently in company with several
hundred others who were with us we
we're Obliged to remain there over
night, with the promise that another
steamer would be sent up in the morn
ing. We stayed at the hotel Chamber
lain, one of the largest and most aris-
tocratic we ever saw, and in the morn
ing waited an hour or two after
breakfast for the arrival of the
steamer. During that time score of
craft of all kinds landed at Old Point
Comfort, from all directions. One in
which we took particular interest
was large Mexican steamer, which
was just arriving into port. 1t swung
around in a circle and anchored,
while government official from the
Board of Health boat pulled along
side, and going aboard examined its
passengers for signs of contagious
diseases. A heavy gale was blowing
by the time our steamer arrived, and
the sea was rolling high, the enor-
nous white caps breaking against the
piers and throwing its spray far into
shore. We had scarcely steamed out
of port before the passengers with one
the vessel, which was rocking fercely,
and "heave Jonah" in every direction.
We had heard much about sea sickness,
but never before had the pleasure of
an actual experience with the real
thing. The boat was crowded t, its
utmost capacity, and among all these
people there were not over twenty-five
who were not sea sick. Fortunately
the writer and his brother did not
eat breakfast that morning before get
ting on the steamer, and we escaped
the worst stages of the malady never
theless, we had no desire to eat for
twenty hours, or until we arrived
in Washington The trip was an ex-
perience we will never forget, for we
enjoyed all the pleasures co of a
typical ocean ride in heavy sea, if
there be any.
After spending the night in WASH
ington, we prepared for the return
trip home, and the next morning after
an hours ride arrived in the city of
Baltimore, spending a few hours there
viewing the many points of interest
about the city, including the famous
Druid Park, John Hopkins University
and the ship yards
At 3 80 p. m. we left the east over
the Pennsylvania for Chicago, travers-
ing the same delightful trip over the
mountains of Pennsylvania, through
Ohio and Indiana, which was des-
cribad in last weeks issue, arriving
at Chicago Monday afternoon. That
evening we attended Powers Theatre,
where we saw the venerable actor,
Joseph Jefferson, in his great success
rip Van Winkle," later leaving for
home, and arriving in DEBORAH the
next noon, after trip frought with
much of historical interest, of edu-
cation and of pleasure, GLAD that we
had made the trip, but still more
happy to return home and commence
anew the duties which awaited u.s.

ital In bonds, and the Union Blektricates
Gesellschaft, having $s5, 600, 900 capital,
have reached an agreement amounting TO
a practical consolidation, the directors OF
each company being elected members OF
the board of the other, so that the man
agement is identical, though the companies
nominally remain separate.
The step is the result Of the crisis in
the German electrical industry. 1t was
found that the manufacturing companies
had outrun the demand and various efforts
were made to organize a combine after the
model OF those in America. The Allgemina
took the lead In these efforts, but found
most of the other companies demanded too
high a rating in the proposed combina-
ton.
The FIRST negotiations were opened with
the Schubert company Of Nuremberg, which
surprised the country last summer by an

~shrinkage in the value OF It's securities and

HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE.

Symptoms of q Very Common Trouble
There is no disease so common in the
United States as eatarrh because 1t appears
In so many forms and attacks 80 many diff
ferent organs.
II Is a common mistake to suppose that
catarTh IL confined to the nose and throat.
Any Inflammation Of the mucous membrane
wherever located, accompanied by abnormal
Becretions. is cataFrh. Catarrh Of stomach
or bladder. or intestines is nearly as com
mon as nasal catarrh and much more seri-
Gus although IL Is true that stomach ca
tarrh and catarrh OF other internal organs
IL the result Of neglected nasal cstarrh.
A new remedy has recently appeared
which so far as tested seems to be re-
markedly effective in promptly curing ca
tarrh. wherever located. The preparation Is
sold by druggists generally under name of
stuart's Catarrh Tablets and In addition to
being very palatable and convenient, pos
sesses extraordinary merit. In many cases
giving immediate relief from the cough
ing, hawking and constant clearing Of the
throat and head. those symptoms With
which everyone Is familiar who has ever
suffered from colds In the head and throat.
CatArrh Is simply a continuation OF these
symptoms until the trouble becomes
chronic and grows gradually worse from
year to year.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed OF
Blood root. red gum and similar antisepties
and eatarrh specifics. from which II will be
seen that no secret is made OF the ingredi-
ents and also that no mineral poisons are
used. as Is the case with many we'll known
catarrh medicines.
For catarrh OF the nose. throat. bronchial
tubes, for oatarTh Of stomach. intestines or
bladder no preparation Is so safe and gives
such rapid and permanent results as
stuArt's Catarrh Tablets.
All druggists sell them at SOC for full
sized package. You can use them with as
suranee that you will not contract the
cocaine or morphine habit as the result
from his eatArrh cure are apparent from
the FIRST days use.

GOES TO MILWAUKEE, ROAD
c. s. Young Accepts OGer to ecom
General Advertising Agent
at Chicago.

Charles S. Young, for the last year ad-
vertislng agent for the B. & NJ. has ac-
cepted the position of general advertising
agent for the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul, with headquarters in Chicago, and
will assume the duties Of this office Janu-
airy 1. This announcement Is made by
F. A. Nash, general western agent of the
Milwaukee, under authority Of f. A. Miller
OF Chicago, general passenger agent.
Mr.. Young was offered this position by
the Milwaukee after he had accepted the
position Of assistant advertising agent Of
the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy at Chi.
cago. The Milwaukee place, being an ex-
ecutive position, naturally was more
lucrative and offered greater attractions
than the Burlington Office. The position
Of assistant advertising agent OF the Bur-
lington is therefore left vacant, but will
be filled doubtless by the first Of the year.
Several men are being considered for the
place, among them P. P. Fodrea, who has
been assistant to Mr., Young for the past
year. Mr.. Fodrea, like Mr.. Young, went to
the B. & NJ. from the reportorial stan Of
The Bee. He has made an excellent record
as assistant advertising agent and is be-
lieved to stand a good chance Of this pro-
motion.
The Milwaukee has mapped out an ex-
tensive plan Of advertising for the coming
year. 1t has appropriated a large sum Of
money, as large, 1t is said, as any other
western road, for this purpose. Its trafic
alliance with the Union Pacific for through
service to the coast will be one Of the
chief features Of advertising.
Mr.. Young has been with the B. & NJ.
four years. having begun his career as
assistant to Advertising Agent Campbell,
who is now with the Rock Island. He
held this position three years and one
year was in the position of advertising
agent.

HAYES GETS THIRTY DAYS
sscreIisious Thief Draws Maximum
sentence After Hearing Before
Judge Berka.

george Hayes, who makes a speciality OF
robbing churches Of their altar brasses.
was arraigned yesterday morning in DO
lice court and sentenced to thirty days. He
pleaded guilty to the charge Of larceny
from the Church Of st. Mary Masdalene.
1918 Douglas street. When the sacreligious
nature Of his depredations was pointed out
to him the prisoner, solemnly pointing his
finger at the Judge, said:
mot at all. II | should take an over
coat from some poor man II would be diff
ferent. but when I steal from a church I
take from a body Of persons, and the share
OF each is so small that no one feels his
loss. Do you see?'
Yes, | see," replied Judge Berkn.
Thirty days"
There are other charges Of petit larceny
against Hayes. but action on these will be
deferred. As the churches we're not locked
no burglary charge can be brought. The
prisoner took four candlesticks from st.
Mary Magdelene's, which were found in the
pawnshop Of o Wright; st. Peters,
Twenty-eighth and Leavenworth, contrib
uted four more. which we're recovered from
the U. s.. pawnshop; the Holy Family, Sew
enteenth and lizard, lost two, which were
sold to the American Loan Office; In addi-
tion to two more sticks, a crucinx was ia
ken from st. Johns, Twenty-hfth and Cali
fornia streets, these also being located in
the American shop; and in Adler's pawn
broking establishment we're found two
sticks and ten rOsaries, one Of them the
property OF Father Judge, all OF them
looted from the Church Of the Sacred
Heart, at Twenty-second and Blnney
streets.
