Another New Press.

We have this week installed fine
large job press, which makes a
valuable and useful addition to our
job department. Our steadily in
creasing business in this line required
additional facilities, and we hav e
added a large press of the latest
modern pattern, which produces the
best possible work in the hands of our
experienced job printers. Although
we have increased our force, we
have been unable to keep up with our
orders for several months past, but
the new press and more printers
coming will enable us to turn out the
work in the future promptly. We
guarantee our work and the price.
Give us your orders.

DISTRICT COURT IN SESSION.
Last Term of the Year Convened on
Monday Afternoon, Judge Fellows
Presiding.

On Monday afternoon Judge l.. E..
Fellows convened the November term
of the district court at the court house.
One of the fortunate peculiarities of
the term is that there are no criminal
cases ON the docket, condition most
unusual and gratifying. The time
Monday and yesterday was taken up
with probate matters, the Keefe case
being before the court as we write.
Next will come the John L. Bouska
will contest. which will occupy two
or three days before jury probably.
1t is likely that the term will last for
a couple of weeks.
The docket at the opening contained
twenty-six causes, one hundred and
two old causes and fifty seven matters
in probate. The ten cases marked
for trial" are as follows:
L. Finn VS.. Seegmiller, ct al
Webster VS. Billiard.
Bloomington VS.. Spilde.
Anderson VS.. Spilde.
Shaffer VS. Cavanaugh, ct al.

Wiuneshiek county's pioneer mothers,
passed to her eternal home last Mon
day morning at O'Clock at the family
home, four miles south of DEBORAH
after long illness extending over a
period of about four years. During
about the last two years of hel life she
had been great sufferer from
rheumatism, and was in helpless
condition, having to he assisted back
and forth from her b. by members
of her family. She bore her suffering
cheerfully, death, though, at last
seemingly coming as great relief
Mrs. Hollands maiden name was
Bridget Murphy, and she was born
in County Mayo, Ireland, and came to
this county when quite young and
resided in Pennsylvania, where she
was married to Peter Holland, and
shortly after they came to Iowa,
locating first near Lansing for short
time, then removing to Winneshiek
county, where the family has since
resided for almost fifty years, the
husband dying some six years ago.
Mrs. Holland was a kind and
loving mother, and in her death she
will be missed by many old friends
and acquaintance made during her
long residence here. She leaves to
mourn her loss one son, Joseph, and
five daughters, Misses Kate, Mary aud
Ella, living at home, Mrs. VIM.
Jennisch, of this city, and Mrs.
Joseph Farrell. of Sanborn, Iowa,
and one sister and one brother, Mrs.
John McAndrews. of this city. and
Thomas Murphy, of st. Paul.
The funeral was held this morning
at 9 o'clock from the Catholic church.
Rev. Father Have, Officiating,

Cater Asks for Pardon.

AS stated in these columns several
weeks ago, John Fl. Cater is an APP
plicant for pardon from his term of
life Imprisonment for the murder of
his wife. and has made formal APP
plication to the coming Legislature.
His plea is made on the claim of
innocence and good behavior in prison.
We doubt very much if his',application
will receive much assistance in this
county. Nearly everyone believes he
had fair trial. twice. and that he
committed the crime. 1t might be in
order Tor any who desire to file a
formal protest with the Governor
against such action.
