be absent about two months. Mr.
and Mrs. Weiser will take their sons,
Horace and Charles with them and
they will be accompanied by nurse.
During their absence Mr.. Holway

Railroad Officials Make Important Visit.

A matter of great Importance to
DEBORAH was the visit last week of a
company of high officials of the
Rock Island railroad. The party con-
sisted OF Superintendent Gable aud
his private secretary. Mr.. E.. M.
Stanton, Division Passenger Agent
John G. Farmer, Division Freight
Agent @. H. Caswell, and Mr.. D. E.
Howell, wholesale merchant from
Cedar Rapids. They arrived in a
special car on Thursday evening, and
spent the most of Friday here, being
entertained at dinner by committee
OF business men on Friday. During
their stay here the matter of new train
service was discussed at length, with
a view to having a train leave De-
corah about 6 80 in the morning, ar.
irving at Cedar Rapids about 10 90,
and leaving there in the afternoon
at 2: 80, arriving here at $50. This
would give daylight rides direct to
and from Chicago, and with the pre-
sent passenger train, give excellent
service. The gentlemen expressed
themselves highly pleased with the
city, its paved streets, opera house,
new court house and hotel, and assured
the committee that the matter of adj
ditional train service would be given
very careful consideration, and would
be recommended to the passenger de-
partment in Chicago 1t is needless
to state that the proposed service would
be of great advantage to DEBORAH and
every town on the line, and that with
this arrangement the road could
reasonably expect increased business.

THE .C0lNTY. CENSUS.
Returns from a Part of the County Show
Loss in Population Compared
TO Five Years Ago

s. The returns of the state census are
coming rather slowly throughout the
county, for the reason that the taking
of the census is being done by the
assessors, and they have finished the
taking of the assessment before taking
the census. Many of them have COM
pleted the assessment and left the
census until after seeding, so that it
will be some little time yet before the
complete county census will be known.
Those who have finished their work,
however, report a general falling off
in population over five years ago,
which is true quite generally over the
state, caused doubtless from the fact
that so many have left for western
states during the past few years, where
they are now living.
Below we give the returns so far as
completed, in the various townships,
together with comparison with 1900

Gas.

Gas has been in commercial use for
the past 100 years and is installed in
most towns of 1000 population and
upwards throughout the United States.
To make coal gas clay retorts are
filled with soft coal, each retort hold
ing 400 to 500 pounds. The retort is
then sealed with air tight doors and
heat applied underneath, sufficient to
heat the coal red hot which is
maintained from to hours. This
converts all the volatile matter in the
coal into gas, which is conveyed
through scrubbers and purifiers into
large tank called the gas holder.
What remais in the retorts is coke,
which is withdrawn, sprayed with
water cooled down and stored in
bins and sold as fuel.
The gas from the holder is dis
tributed by pipes throughout the
city, for heat, power and light.
The heating and power features are
fast being developed. With gas
stove you can cook just as cheaply as
with gasoline. All the bother of
generating and the danger always
present in handling gasoline is
avoided. All you have to do is open
the cock, touch a lighted match to a
gas stove and your fire is started.
When through turn it off and the fire
is out. No foul, sickening smell
from unconsumed gas there as with
gasoline. AS heater of water for
the bath room it has no equal fifteen
minutes after lighting you will have
plenty of hot water for bath at a
cost of l b cents for gas, and larger
heaters are made that will heat 40
gallons every 80 minutes hot enough
for bath at a cost of ~ cents. CAL
ifornia boasts of having the largest
single gas generating unit in the
world at Oakland, producing 5000. 600
cubic feet of gas every twenty hours,
and there is now under constructor in
San Francisco the largest gas engine
power plant in the world, in which
there will be three 5,400 horse power
gas enigne connected to three 1000
kilowatt alternating current genera
tors, which will furnish current for
all the street cars in the city.
The Welsbach Mantle has increased
the efficiency of gas for lighting at least
three-fold, so that you now get so
candle power light for same money
that you formerly paid for IS candle
power.
1t is certainly boon to every house
hold, as it is always ready any minnie
of the day or night to furnish heat,
power or light in any quantity you
want at the touch of match.

Hotel Opening Next Week. Thursday.

= The committeeHon arrangements for
the opening Of the New Wihnesheik
hotel on next week Thursday evening,
April 27th, are having excellent
success in arranging an evenings en-
tertainment which promises to be a
very pleasant one for all who partici-
pate. There will be as little for
mality as possible about the affair,
and it is hoped that every citizen. of
DEBORAH will consider himself especial
ly invited TO attend and assist in
giving the enterprise a rousing open
ing. The banquet will be served at
seven O'Clock, for which a splendid
menu is being prepared, after which
there will be short program Of
toasts: Hon. w. L. Eaton of Usage,
formerly speaker of the house of rep
resentatives and one of the most
prominent after dinner speakers of
the state, will be present and respond
to the toast "The Making of City,"
and there will be short talks by two
or three others, after which there will
be a reception and inspection of the
building until ten o'clock, when
dancing will be INDUCED in by those
who enjoy it. 1t is expected that
there will be a large attendance, for
our citizens are proud of the magnifi-
cent new hotel, and very large num-
Der of them will lend assistance to the
enterprise by the purchase of tickets.
Many have already bought tickets
who will be unable to attend. They
are now on sale at any of the banks,
the hotel or from any of the directors.
1t is desired that as many as possible
buy their tickets this week, so that
an estimate of the number that will
attend can be made as early as possible.

The announcement that Miss Louise
st. John Westervelt, soprano, of
Davenport, Iowa, and Miss Ethel
Baker of this city will give concert
at the Grand opera house on the eve
ming of May 4th, is received with de-
light here. The reputation Of Miss
Westervelt is national, and her voice
is of magnetic quality, pnre, firm and
sweet. She has attained high place
on the musical platform. Her high
musical ability is largely responsible
for the degree of excellence attained
by Miss Baker, who has been her
pupil. The latter has most
charming voice of rare quality and
sweetness, and she has developed it
very rapidly and pleasingly. Mrs.
Nora Riley will be at the piano,
which assures an evening of rare
