Installing Burglar Alarm.

Representatives of the American
Bankers Protection Company are in
the city, installing the new burglar
alarm system in the National Bank of
d ecorah. When completed it will be
one of the most complete and secure
systems in this section. The vault
will he lined with steel, and a large
gong placed outside the bank, with
alarm bells in different locations else
where. The device will operate aut-
omatic:lly with time lock, and is
so arranged that at any time at night
anyone touching the door of the vault,
or attempting to drill through will
strike this steel lining, and sound the
gong outside which may be heard for
blocks, as well as sounding the other
alarms. This will make the burglar
protection almost absolute, and great
ly increase the safety of the funds in
the bank. Other interior improve.
ments noted in these columns last
week will also soon be completed.

handed down decision sustaining
the ruling of Judge Fellows in the
case of Greer, Halves & Co., VS.. A..

on a promissory note given by Sever
son to Greer, Halves q Go. to secure
their consent for him to run saloon
within fifty feet of their place of
business. Suit was brought to collect
the note, but Judgment was denied by
Judge Fellows, the contention of the
defense, that the sale of consent
was against public policy, being sus-
tanned by Judge Fellows and also the
Supreme Court 1t is the first time
this question has been raised in the
Supp eme Court. The attorneys were

MAY BE A MILLIONAIRE
DECORARIAN FALLS HEIR TO AN ESTATE
Public Opinion Finds Fortune for a
Citizen of DEBORAH Who is Now in
Moderate Circumstances.

Ii the present INDICATIONS develop
as we hope they will, one of our citi-
zens, Mr.. David n. Biddinger, will
in short time come into possession
of his share of an estate valued at
over 1913, 000,0 and he will be bet
ter than millionaire. An innocent
little item of news in the last issue
of this paper referred to j. Fl. Bid
dinger, of Oelwein, falling heir to a
large sum of money, and seeing the
item, Mr.. Biddinger, of this city,
began to investigate. He called up
his brother at Oelwein On the tele-
phone, and was informed that he had
received information to the above
effect from Washington, D. O., and at
once went to Oelwein to confer with
him, returning ON Monday.
The story runs as follows: Prior
to the Revolutionary war, a man
named State, being called to arms to
defend his country, deposited his
small fortune in the United States
treasury. as was the custom in that
time. After the war his fortune had
doubled, and he retired from active
life to live with his daughter Caro-
line, still leaving the money in the
U. S. treasury, to accumulate and in
crease. At his death he willed the
money deposited in the Treasury to
be kept there for the period of ninety
nine years, and to be allowed to ac-
cumulate with interest, at the expira-
tion of which time it was to be divid-
ed among the descendants of his
daughter Caroline. The reason given
for his doing this is that his daughter
had plenty of money, that the govern
ment was in need of funds for it's de-
pleted treasury, and he believed that
at the end of 80 years it would he
amply able to repay the money with
interest to the heirs. 1t was to all
practical purposes gift to the
government. For some thirty years
the government officials have been
tracing the heirs of this estate, and
they are now believed to be all locat.
ed, there being between forty and
fifty of them. The daughter of thi;
man State was named Harr, and she
was the mother of Mr.. Biddinger, and
died some years ago. There were
four of these Harr families, one OF
| them now living at GAINESVILLE, Iowa.
AS Mr.. Biddinger states, the child
rem of these four Harr families vii.
receive the money, there being about
SO. 900. 900 to be divided among eacl
of the families. Mr.. Biddinger has
one brother and two sisters, which
would give each of them about ST.,
500, 900.
1t is also stated that the same gen.
tleman left considerable estate in the
city of Boston and in Germany, which
if true will greatly increase the above
amount.
Mr.. Biddinger is we'll known citi.
zen of DEBORAH, laboring man who
has been in the employ of @. B. Len.
non & Go. for some time. and bears
the highest reputation for INDUSTRY,
integrity and honor. His employers
aud all his friends state that such a
handsome sum could scarcely fall in
more worthy hands. and it is The
wish of all that the good news may
be literally true, and that he will re.
ceive his portion of this vast estate in
a short time.
