ing is becoming more apparent now
each day. A large portion of the wood
furniture is here, aud carload of
metal furniture arrived yesterday.
That it will be beautiful in every de-
tail is the universal expression of
those who inspect it. The entire work
will stand for generations as a monu-
ment to the wisdom of the people of
the county who ordered it erected. to
the Board of Supervisors who have
selected the plans and specifications,
the materials used, and superintendent
the construction, and to the architect
and contractor, who have certainly
done their work we'll and to the salts
faction Of all.
The top story of the hotel is being
erected. On the east side the brick
work is about half finished, the win
dow castings being in place Carpen-
tiers are busy laying the third floor on
the west side, fathers are lathing the
rooms OIL the first and second story.

wiring, plumbers are busy with the

commenced the laying of the fake

that ten days of good weather will
complete the brick work, when the

Decorah Wins Again From Cresco.

The Cresco high school football
team, together with about a hundred
citizens of our neighboring city came
down on Friday, prepared to mop the
ground with our high school boys.
They had with them all kinds of
money when they first arrived, offer
ing to bet two to one Oh Cresco. but
before the game started local enthusi-
asts covered it all and asked for more.
The Cresco team was heavier than
ours and they had with them Davis,
former Iowa state university player,
and confidently expected TO win. The
weather was decidedly inclement, but
this did not deter quite large crowd
from attending, and when the game
started the feeling was intense Ores
co kicked off, and the game was nip
and tuck from the start, but by super
ior work our bows smashed the line
ard went around the ends for steady
gains until they made a touchdown,
and kicked goal The ball was soon
put in plav again, and there was a
merry scramble until time for the
first half was called. Score, DEBORAH
6, Cresco 0.
The second half showed better play
ing than the first The teams steadied
down and there was much hard playing
with little gain for either side until
one of Cresco's men got the ball and
slipped around Decorah's right end,
after long. fine run making touch
down. They failed to kick goal.
Score DEBORAH 6, Cresco 5. The
excitement then became intense. Ores
co was bound to win, and DEBORAH
that they should not. By successive
smashes DEBORAH got within a few
feet of Cresco's goal. and soon had
the ball over. again kicking goal.
Score DEBORAH IL, Cresco 5. And thus
the game ended. 1t was hard fought
battle throughout. and our tsam
showed their superior training and
work by winning from the Cresco
.eam, which is a strong one.

A Valuable Invention.

Mr.. A, A. Hanson, our typesetting
machine operator, has just received
word from his attorneys, Orwig &
Lane, of Des Moines. Iowa, to the
effect that the United States Patent
Office has formally allowed his appli-
cation for patent OH an apparatus for
protecting stores in case of fire. One
or more show cases inside of the store
are mounted on legs provided with
rollers and the most valuable articles
in the store are placed in this show
| case. Other parts of the store, such
for instance as tie shelves. are pro.
vided with fire proof curtains in front
of them and door in the store is pro-
vided adjoining the case that is on
rollers. If fire should occur in any
part of the building it will ignite a
fuse running around the various parts
of the building where fire is likely to
occur and when this fuse burns heavy
| weight is released and this weight is
connected with the moving show case
and with the asbestos curtains, with
the bell attachment that gives the
alarm, and also with the doors near
the moving show case, so that when
the weight descends the doors will
open, the show case be moved to a
point outside of the building and the
asbestos curtains lowered, also causing
the bell to ring, all of which are done
very quickly and automatically.
The patent as allowed contains ten
claims broadly covering the different
features of the invention, and we sim
cerely hope Mr. Hanson will realize
handsomely from his invention
