Goodbye, Old Court House.

The structure which for half CEN
tury has been the seat of justice for
Winnesheik county will soon be a
thing of the past. Work was begun
Monday on tearing down the old
building, to make ready for the con-
struction of the new Ole Evanson
who bid in the building at the sale at
$50, failed to file bonds to complete
the work within given time, and as
a result the Board gave the building
to G. w. Higgins under the same con-
ditions, who has force of men busily
at work tearing it down. At the
present rate it seems that he will
have the structure demolished within
a week, giving ample time for the con-
tractor to commence budding, and
for the county to place the grounds in
proper condition. The Board has en-
gagged Mr.. Geo. Draper as superinten-
dent of construction for the new court
house. In tearing down the roof of
the old building, Messrs. Riggs and
st. Clair found hid away in the
cornice an umbrella, lot of combs,
a pair of white stockings, and a good
jack knife. How they came to be
there is a mystery.

What Tie Says of Himself.

DR.. E. j. Bulgin says i'll regard to
his work as an evangelist: Il believe
in fair, straightforward Gospel preach
ing, free from traps, hobbies and tan
gents The old Word can be made
attractive and powerful without such.
The lines on winch | succeed in
short, are these: Loyalty to the
church and pastor, not doing or say
ing anything that will reflect or react
on either when am gone. An uu-
compromising friend of truth and a
friend of lost sinners | do not be-
lieve in working upon the sense of
fear or feeling for conversion, but de-
pend upon the Holy Spirit and God S
Word and personal winsomeness to
win souls.
DIR. Bulgin, assisted by Prof. Hig-
gins a solo singer and cornetist from
Chicago, will conduct union revival
services for the Congregational, Meth
odist, Baptist and German Methodist
churches in the Grand opera house
on Sundays and the Congregational
church throughout the week begin

THE JUBILEE SYNOD.
Committee on Entertainment Make State.
ment to the Citizens of DEBORAH.

When the First Lutheran church of
DEBORAH invited the Norwegian Luth-
eran Synod to celebrate its Goth an
niversary in the city of DEBORAH, it
pledged itself to provide free lodging,
breakfast and supper to the accredited
members of the meeting. While the
congregation extended this invitation,
believing that, with the kind aid of
sister congregations in the vicinity, it
would be able to take care of the regu-
lar members of the Synod, yet the
kind assurances received from repre-
sentative citizens of DEBORAH. that
assistance would be given, If neces-
sary, were not without weight in de-
terming the congregation to venture
its invitation.
AS the time for the meeting draws
near it becomes more apparent that
the attendance will be considerable
larger than at fisrt anticipated The
committee on lodgings have completed
its canvass of the congregation and it
is found that assistance is needed
We therefore, make free to address TO
the citizens of DEBORAH the following
questions:
Who will assist us by giving free
lodging and breakfast and supper to
one or more delegates?
Who will assist by giving free lodg-
ing?
Who will assist by giving free break
fast and supper?
| The Synod will be in session from
June 18th to cath, 1903
Those willing and able to assist in
this matter, will kindly make it
known to one of the following mem
bers of the committee OH lodgings:
o. Bidne-1st ward
Austin Larson--2d ward.
P. 0. Haugen-3rd ward
O. G. Johnson -4th ward.
Geo. Markhus- 9Th ward

Winter Clothing.

In anticipation of a large fall cloth
ing business and great advance of
wooden material, l made extensive
purchases when was east. month
ago, of hundreds of yards of wooden
cloth. This seems early, in fact,
very early to talk about winter
clothes, but the business nowadays is
done about six months in advance of
the season. We bought more heavy
cloth than we ever did, since we
started in business. Since our pur-
chases this same cloth has advanced
from to 10 cents per yard our prices
next fall will be based on our cheap
purchases, and we can pretty safely
guarantee that we have bought plenty
of cloth to make enough suits and
overcoats to last us through the fall
and winter season. We ONLY mention
these facts so our customers know we
are alive to their interests, as we'll as
our own. Ben Bear.

VALUE

A prescription that lacks in
the least essential is worse than
worthless 1t may be positively
dangerous, a peril to the life of
the patient. 1t may defeat the
doctors efforts, and it may even
retard the recuperative forces of
nature.
To have any value whatever,
prescription must be COM
pounded from drugs that are alb
solutely pure and Of standard
potency. 1t must be exactly
what the doctor intended it to
be. If it is this, it is certainly
worth the price we will charge
you. Our prescription service is
