On Nov. II, twenty-iour members and
friends OF Kellettvile Hive, No. 2i9, L..
o. Y. NJ, gave Lady Gillespie one of their
annual surprise parties. After gathering
at Lady Shaw's residence they all
marched in body to Lady Gillespie's
residence which lies in the south suburbs
of Kelettville.
But still there was another surprise
awaiting Lady Gillespie, which was a
beautiful bouquet from Florida, presented
to her in honor of the ladies of the Hive
by Lady Commander Catlin, followed by
poem, of which u. S. Day was the au-
thor.
After this the table was spread with a
bountilul lunch which the ladies had
brought with them. The hours passed
so pleasantly that it was II p. m, before
the members realized it was time to bid
their esteemed Lady sdieu, and return to
their homes. Corresponding Committee.

buzzed loudly, but at last were "hiyed." ;"

the blossoms were suitable to the occa-

No Poison in Chnmbcrlain's Cough Remedy

From Napier New Zealand, Herald :;
Two years ago the Pharmacy Board of
New South Wales, Australia, had an
analysis made of all the cough medicines
that we're sold in that market. Out of the
entire list they found only one that they
declared was entirely free from all poi
sons. This exception was Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, made by the Chamber
lain's Medicine Company, Des Moines,
Iowa, u. S. A. The absence OF all narcotics
makes this remedy the safest and best
that can be had and it is with feeling of
security that any mother can give it to
her little ones. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is especially recommended by
its makers for coughs, colds, group and
whoopng cough. This remedy is for sale
by DR.. j. G.. Dunn.

Another Skin Game.

Here's another new skin game. A
man walks into store and buys s.
or $40 worth of goods, tells the store
keeper to keep the goods until he calls
for them at certain date and gives a
$50 or SO check on bank in payment.
The check is sent to the bank and re-
turned marked N. G. At the date
given the man comes in for his goods.
is Informed that the check is not
honored He cusses the bank but pays
for his goods, starts for the door, then
walks back and asks for his check.
He gets it with the merchants en-
dorsement. In few days the mer-
chant is notified by the banks of a
check cashed bearing his endorsement.
The merchant then weeps.

AT Work on the Winnesheik.

Workmen have been busy the past
week wrecking the old Winnesheik
hotel and getting things in shape for
the erection of the new building. The
old structure which has stood for fifty
years presents gruesome picture,
and soon will be a thing of the past.
II it could tell tales. it would tell the
story of the building of DEBORAH from
its infancy. for here came the first
settlers when the country was new,
and here have been formulated many
of the plans for the growth and de-
velopment of the adjacent territory.
To the visitor now it seems almost a
miracle that it has stood for so long,
and that fire has not long ago de-
stroyed it. for if there was ever a
place susceptible to fire this seemed
to be one. But it has served its time
faithfully, and gives way to a mag
nificent modern structure which will
be the pride of the city, and is in
keeping with the advancement and
progress of DEBORAH along all lines.

THE FOURTH IN DEBORAH.
Quietly Observed by Picnic For Children
and Fireworks in the Evening.

Although DEBORAH did not celebrate
the Fourth of July this year, the most
of our people participated either in
some of the neighboring celebrations
or the numerous picnics throughout
the county, aud the small boy who
staid at home had his time we'll taken
up with the shooting of firecrackers,
etc.
The picnic in the afternoon and the
fireworks in the evening were pro-
vided though the generosity of Mr..
George Phelps, as was announced last
week. The children assembled at the
Congregational church early in the af-
ternoon and were transported to Alb
bey's Park in West DEBORAH, and a
large number of town people walked
over. The afternoon was spent in
amusem ants of various natures, and
the children were treated to ice cream,
cake and lemonade. being brought
back toward evening.
The fireworks in the evening were
witnessed by upwards of 1000 people,
who gathered about the court house
square. The program was carried out
without hitch, aud the many beauti
full designs were greatly enjoyed by
our people, who united in thanks to
Mr.. Phelps for his generosity. 1t pro-

New Rural Route From Locust.

Those living in the vicinity of Lo-
Gust have been making ali effort for
some time to secure better mail SER
vice, and the rural route inspector
was here recently and went over a
proposed route starting out of Locust
about eleven O'Clock in the morning
and running east through Highland
township and back, covering about
twenty miles. We understand that
the inspector has recommended the
establishment of the route and it will
in all probability be put in operation
about July 10Th. An examination for
rural carriers will be held at the post
office in this city next Saturday. The
mail from DEBORAH will be carried to
Locust by Rural Carrier No. 4, and
the carrier will depart from Locust
after mis- arrival This will give the
people east of Locust daily service,
and will be great improvement over
tine present method of mail delivery.

GIVES CLOCK
TO THE COUNTY
MACNANInOUS GIFT OF nR. c. ].
WEISER.
Presents Handsome Town Clock to
Winnesheik County in Remem-
brance of his Father and
Mother.

We are exceedingly happy to make an
announcement to the people of Winnie
sheik county today which we are GER
tain will be read with great pleasure
by everyone. 1t is to the effect that
the following brief note which ex-
plains itself has been sent to the
Board of Supervisors, who will con-
vene at the court house this afternoon /:
DEBORAH. Iowa, July 5, 1904.
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors,
Winnesheik County. Iowa,
NJ. j. Nicholson, Esq, Chairman.
Gentlemen -
In loving remembrance of my father
and mother, it gives me great pleasure
to present a clock to the good citizens
of Winnesheik county.
l trust your honorable body will
install the same in the tower of our
new Court House.
Sincerely yours,
9. j. WEISER.
For some time past Mr.. Weiser has
been considering what he might do
for the city of DEBORAH in remem-
brance Of his late father and mother,
Mr.. and Mrs Horace S. Weiser, who
were for so many years leaders in the
business and social circles of the city.
and as next year will be the fiftieth
anniversary of Mr.. Weiser's coming to
DEBORAH and establishing the Winnie
sheik County Bank, he has taken this
method of showing his affection for
his parents and the esteem in which
he holds his home city and county.
That the magnificent memorial is
most appropriate at this time need
not be stated. Few men were more
closely identified with the early his
tory of the city and county than Mr..
Weiser. or more deeply interested in
its progress. Coming here as he did
in al early day. he established in this
city a bank which has from the first
taken front rank among the fnan-
cial institutions which followed it
and has steadily grown in stability
and responsibility until it is today
not only the oldest but one of the
strongest in the state.
Following his death Mrs. Weiser
became president of the bank, and in
her business affairs showed the same
keen judgment and foresight, and the
same kindly, considerable and charit-
able disposition that had won for her
in her home life the esteem of all
with whom she came in contact.
The gift of Mr.. Weiser comes at a
most opportune time and will be &C
copied with much appreciation, for
it will be fitting and useful adorn-
Inent for our beautiful court house,
and will be installed in building
that would be incomplete without it.
While the purchase of the clock has
not yet been made, it will be very
fine one, costing from $1,000 to $500,
and will be manufactured according to
NJ. Weiser's order. and of the latest
modern pattern.
