MASON TO FINISH
COURTHOUSE
Committee of the Creditors
So Recommends.
AT DAVENPORT
Completion of Plans Under Mr.. NaSOn'S
Direction Settled Upon as the Best
Plan to Follow.

The committee appointed to look
into the affairs of the Northern
Building company, and recommend
the course of action that would re-
suit in the most salvage for the G. Id
itors from it's various contracts, has
prepared report covering several
type written pages, which has been
mailed to the Individual creditors,
some rs in number.
The report gives the figures on
the various contracts, as shown in
the report of Superintendent Barber
to the committee and estimates that
there is $780, in salvage on the
Mason City, Lancaster, Wis, and
the three Davenport jobs. This, &C
cording to Mr.. Mason, when avail
able will wipe out all but $25, 900 or
$50, 900 of the indebtedness of the
company, Including the endorsed
paper.
In the report the committee finds
that there are apparently but two
ways to wind up the affairs of the
company-involuntary bankruptcy
being one, and the carrying out Of
the contracts the other.
1t recommends that trustee be
appointed for each job, if the con-
tracts are carried out, which it
favors. This trustee is to be given
a bill OF sale of the company's equip
ment, and the committee suggests
that the contracts be finished under
Mr.. Nason's supervision, he being
the only one fitted under the circum-
stances to complete the work. After
the contracts are completed, the
equipment could be disposed OF for
the benefit of the creditors, and the
committee believes that this course
would be the most advantageous to
the creditors.
Mr.. Mason has been at Davenport
for the past week, lending the COM
mittee all possible assistance in its,
investigation of the company's af--
fairs, and it is stated that the inves-
tigation of the company's books has.
established the honesty of Mr.
Nason's course, and his virtual en-
dorsement by commentator that
he be retained as superintendent of
the work. The report is signed by
A. F. Cutter, G. w. Field, A. g.,
Bush and G. G.. Hipwell, the mem
bers of the committee.

Decker-LivenS.

A large company assembled at
the hall Of Mystic Workers Tuesday
evening, Feb. 18th, at s p. M, to
take part in the wedding services OF
Miss Harriet E. Livens, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. J. r. Livens, and Mr..
Braman G.. Decker, both of Lancas-
ter, Wis.
At the time appointed the oficiat-
ing clergyman, J. T. Morgans, fol-
lowed by the bride, who was most
beautifully gowned, and the groom
entered the hall to the strains Of
the wedding march played by Herb
ert Pendleton, and took positions on
the platform in an arch beautifully
formed and trimmed with lace,
flowers and evergreens. Here
while music in soft strains was
PLAYED was solemnized the marriage
ceremony which pronounced them
husband and wife.
The hall had been previously seat
ed and draped SO as to present the
appearance of a beautiful home
parlor.
After congratulations the COM
pany was served with dainty re-
freshments and then took occasion
to view the presents which were too
numerous to mention.
Mr.. and Mrs. Decker go immed-
lately to Minneapolis where Mr..
Decker has been engaged for sever
al wears in work in a machine shop,
and will there for the present make
their home.

Idle Thoughts.

If a man does not repeat the cute
things his baby says it's sure sign
he hasn't any baby.
Ny better half sold a package OF
old love letters I sent to her de-
cade ago to a rag man the other day
for 6 cents, and insists that she got
the best end of the bargain.
1t is gratifying to note that but
one divorce case appears on the cir
cult court calendar this term. The
proper time for divorces is at the
sparkling time and not the spanking
time, anyway.
Ida Derrick and Geo. Crane were
married in Iowa last week. II that
couple can't raise a family, VINO
can?
The tiredest girl there is can get
up energy enough to chew gum.
It isn't every mother in Lancaster
that knows where her boy is at bed
time.
