DIES VERY SUDDENLY.
Mrs. O. c. Johnson Expires From Heart
Failure While at Work on Mon.
day Evening.

The sad news of the very sudden
death on Monday evening of Mrs. o.
@. johnson. wife of Mr.. o. O. John
son. Vice. President of the National
Bank of DEBORAH, cast a gloom of deep
sorrow over the community. 1t appears
that she was busy with the household
work in the kitchen of their home.
preparing supper, and while sitting in
q chair peeling potatoes, when she
spoke to her daughter, Miss Clara, say
ing that it was getting very dark and
falling hack in her chair expired in
asmoment or two. The family quick
ly summoned Drs. Stevens and Hoeg,
but she was past assistance before they
arrived. She had been in rather poor
health for several years, but seemed
much better the past few months, al
though for some time past she had
been subject to tainting spells. She
was about sixty years of age, and
leaves a husband and daughter to
mourn her loss, who have the sincere
sympathy of all in their deep Attic
ton.
Those who knew Mrs. johnson best
speak of her as a kindly. lovable wo-
man, whose life was wrapt up in her
home and those she loved, an estim-
able lady of the highest repute. Her
sad ending will be mourned by her
many acquaintance throughout the
city and county. The funeral services
will be held at two O'Clock Thursday
afternoon, from the First Norw.
Lutheran chnrch.

Quincy Adams SAWYER

An excellent demonstration of the
we'll known saying that when a wo-
man will. she will. may be found in
the publication of that popular New
England novel. Quincy Adams Saw
YER" and the marvellous success that
has ATTENDED its sale throughout the
land up to the present day. Miss
Caro- M. Clark, a young Boston wo-
man, thoroughly believed there was q
market for this story and against all
advice of friends she ventured her last
cent in forming the @. NJ CLARK Pub
fishing Company to publish it. The
author was unknown and she had
never had any experience in publish
ing books. but her wonderful success
in this venture is still the talk of the
book trade. Miss CLARK modestly says
that the book met her expectations il,
making shit" with the public that
is all. The dramatization of the
novel, which is to be seen her at the
Grand opera House Tuesday Dec. LIST,
is equally successful. and her pub
lisher's royalties from the dramatic
performances have added very hand
some to her income. The big New
York Pr oduction is coming her.

Some Things DEBORAH Offers.

Several of our merchants begin
their holiday advertising in this issue.
We hope our readers will carefully
peruse these announcements during
the holiday season, as by SO doing they
will be able to make purchases much
more intelligently when they come in
to do their trading. Our stores have
exceptionally large and we'll selected
stocks this year, and we sincerely
hope no one will be so foolish as to
buy from mail order houses, where
nine times out of ten they get less
value for their money and no gain by
so doing. We venture the assertion
that the merchants Of DEBORAH will
duplicate any price made by the big
city department store mail order
houses, and back up their sales with
guarantees that are absolute. Buy
goods from those who ask you through
these columns, and if your purchases
are not satisfactory or as represented,
they will return your money. Buy
from the city mail order houses. and
you must accept the goods you get
whether you like them or not. Be-
sides, the DEBORAH merchants devote
their lives and energies to improving
your condition together with theirs.
They help pay your taxes, they help
improve your roads. they buy your
produce, they give you honorable,
square and fair treatment. Come to
DEBORAH to do your trading. And
when you come, trade with our adver-
tisers. They represent the highest,
progressive element of our citizenship.
Upon this point there can be no just
denial.

The regular November session of the
district court for Winnesheik County
opened Monday afternoon at the
temporary court room in the j. j.
Marsh building, Judge l.. E. Fellows
presiding. The time Monday and yes
terday morning was taken up with the
reading of the probate and default
docket and the disposing of minor
matters. Yesterday afternoon the
petit jury was called and the case of
Jennings VS.. Otto Gunderson tax
up. This case is on as we go to press.
The docket at the opening contained
two criminal matters. one preliminary
to grand jury, fourteen new cases,
ninety one old causes, and thirty Five
matters in probate. The following
were marked for trial.

Perhaps one uf the most interesting
cases to develop is that of Fairman VS..
Rice, which was transferred from the
law to the probate docket. This is an
action brought by Lucy Fairman, of
Humboldt, Iowa, against the admins
traitor of the estate of the late Almon
Rice, of Bluffton. claiming to be the
only child of the deceased and there
fore entitled TO the proceeds of the
estate. something over $4,000. 1t
will probably not come to trial for
two or three terms of court, but bids
fair to be an interesting casa.
The present term now appears to be
a short one. and will probably close
next week, although matters may
develop to continue it longer.

Meets Death Under the Cars.

In our last issue we made brief men,
tion Of the death of AL Barsch, of this
city. who was killed near Oelwein
while riding the rods under car on
the Rock Island. The following &C
count from the Oelwein Record Is
complete:
"Al. Barsh, a cigar maker by trade,
was found dead on the Rock Island
tracks about four miles north of the city
Tuesday afternoon. His body lay upon
it's face, and was frozen stiff.
The section men who made the grew
some find reported it to Agent Hillman,
of this city, who notified the authori-
ties, and Squire Cammack, with Officer
Barden and Agent Hillman went in the
evening to the scene.
Coroner Cole being out of the city,
Squire Cammack conducted the inquest
Wednesday evening, and the following
was the finding:
"We, the jurors in inquest over the
body of Albert Barsh, find he came to
his death by carelessness OH his own
part while riding on the rods under
meath mail car of passenger train on c.
II. |. & p. railway, between Maynard
and Oelwein."
"Barsh's home was at DEBORAH but he
had been working at his trade in May
nard. In company with another young
fellow, he boarded the south bound Rock
Island train Saturday night, riding the
rods, while the other rode the blind"
The boy noticed the absence of his part
ner, and walked back to Maynard in
quest of him.
"The deceased evidently lost his hold
on the rods, was thrown from the NOV
ing train and striking some object, was
killed"
1t is thought by relatives here that
he was frozen to death, and was not in
stantly killed, as the body was found
down an embankment and outside of the
railroad right of way, where it is pre-
sumed he had crawled after falling from
the train.
Albert was within few days of %
years of age, and had started for Dubu-
que in company with Enos Brekke of this
city also cigar maker, so Brekke states.
Barsh's parents live at Preston. The
left side of his temple disclosed heavy
bruise, and close examination showed
that the skull had been crushed as by
contact with the end of railroad tie.
Aside from this and few bruises on the
face no other evidence of his tragic
death were visible.
The funeral was held Friday afternoon,
his parents and other relatives from
Preston being i'm attendance.

The Old Time Thanksgiving.

Along about Thanksgiving time last
year the Sioux City Tribune published
the following "reminiscences of lady
past ninety years Of age. which shows
the marked change in the present OBJ
servance of the day.
"TLere didn't use to be the inviting
of people to others houses for feasting
on Thanksgiving day seventy-five or
eighty years age" says Mrs. Gibbons.
Families would have nice turkey
dinner and enjoy 1t without so much
ceremony. Sometimes they would
have relatives present. Religious SER
vices would be held at the churches
just as they are now. We had a
Lutheran, Presbyterian and Metho-
dist church in different directions
from my father farm, and they were
about two miles away. My mother
and father would ride to church on
horseback. and we children who were
old enough would walk to meeting.
Those days the little ones were not
humored like they are now. In the
summer time everybody's children
went barefootod, girls and all, and

People used to drink whiskey because
they thought in good many cases it
was necessary. No household could
be found without flask of whiskey
in the cupboard, which was accessi BILE
to all members of the family. At
harvest times the demandyror whiskey
from my father was especially great.
The men who worked in the harvest
field used to mix whiskey with the
water they drank SO as too keep them
from drink ing so much water. They
did not get sick from drinking too
much water then. The hands would
get up at daylight and eat a piece of
bread and butter and drink some whis-
key which had been poured over
crushed tansy leaves and then go to
the field. About o'clock they would
come to the house for a more sub
stantial meal.
