Decorah merchants and business
men have made arrangements for q
Carnival week to occur the last week
in June. Arrangements have been
made with the Parker Amusement
Co., big carnival company which re-
quires 25 cars to transport their shows,
and which comes to Decorah direct
from Milwaukee.
Reports have been circulated In
Cresco that T. I. Clifford had been re-
leased from the Independence asylum
and returned to Decorah and from
there had left with his family for
New York state. The Decorah Journ-
al of this week brands all such and
similar reports as false and slanderous,
containing not single word of truth.

ter township, died Wednesday morn
ing at clock, from the effect of a

The ticket for the city election
next Monday will have only one set
of candidates-the republican ticket
which is denomination Of outgoing
officers. A peoples CAUCUS for the
3rd ward held Monday evening
put in nomination e. e. Mullin
for Alderman, and although
the tickets had not yet been
printed, the combine" availed them
selves of the technicalities OF the
election law, and declined to accom-
modate half or more Of the voters
in that ward by priutinng the name
Of their nominee on the ballot, neces-
sarily handicapping him IN the race.
During the past season there have
been wars and rumorS Of wars, trusts
and rumorS Of trusts, and new
members of trusts already f.rmed;
from all sides comes the question:
Are you in the trust? We reply to
this question without casting refiec-
tions on any one, that we are not
building up our business by "knock-
ing" our competitors, but we do
believe that every tub must stand on
its own bottom. Therefore we take
this occasion to inform the farmers,
and the general public, that we are
not in the trust. Our business is the
manufacture and sale of harness,
hardware, wagons, buggies, piows,
corn plows, and the best Plymouth
binder twine; it runs more feet to
the pound than any other twine on
the market and will not cost you any
more than the common twine,
