An alarm Of fire about 2:l5 Mon

shots rang out upon the stilly night

was . fire on even before the mock

Night Marshal weineke fired the
shots and from the reverberxtions
that penetrated the atmosphere it is
surmised that he carries a gun large

in the United States navy.

water on. and made a run for the

the nozzle. and had stream PLAYING
upon the fire before any one else ar
rived. The fire was confined exclu-
siveiy to the corrugated iron kitchen
in the rear Of the main building.
and owing to the quick work of the
fire department the main structure
was not damaged in the least except
by smoke and water. The fire was
all out in less than an hour. No
complaint could possibly be made as
to water pressure on this occasion.

The Winnebago Indians, who are
camped in this vicinity are making
money "hand over fist" gathering
ginseng and white seal, the former
used in China and the latter in this
country. 1t is said that few white
men possess the faculty of discovering
this valuable weed, for which at this
time 500 per pound is being paid
by HI. f. Gaunitz. The Indians, by
some instinct make easy work of
gathering the weed and are making
big wages daily. Charley Whitewater.

DEBORAH.

1t was the fortune of the writer to
visit DEBORAH last week for the first
time, and we hope we shall not be
accused of exaggeration when we say
that we had no idea that after resi-
dence of forty years in Iowa we
should discover a town within its
borders, with so beautiful surround
ings. For we undertake to say that
no city or village in this fair state
that we have seen, and we have seen
about all of them, can compare with
DEBORAH for beauty of the surround
ing scenery. The city itself leaves
nothing to be desired as far as APP
pearance goes, but is not so far ahead
of some other places in the state as
to deserve special mention. although
it has a prosperous, solid and healthy
that is not excelled by any
place of its size within our knowl-
edge.
The occasion of our visit was the
annual reunion of the Northeastern
Iowa Veterans Association. About
100 veterans were present and all en-
joyed pleasant time. The people
OF DEBORAH opened their doors to the
old boys and made them their welcome
guests, and if any old soldier got a
chance to spend cent. he did it when
no one was looking. We have neither
space nor time to say all the good
things about DEBORAH and it's sur
roundings that we might with truth
say. but we came home more than
pleased with what we saw. -Hamp

The Way 10 Trigg Puts it.

We would like to have somebody
tell us just where the tariff as now
adjusted is felt as burden in any
manner by the American people with
the solitary exception of the sugar
tax. Wages have never been higher,
the people never more generally en-
ployed, money never more plentiful.
interest rates never lower, or the bust
ness of the country at large in more
healthy or prosperous condition.
Things have not long ago been other
wise, and it would be mighty easy to
get them that way again. And it is
a funny thing that no other state has
the tariff ripping itch like Iowa has.
Folks in other states ought to know
something. 1t is propbable their
memories are better than ours. 1t is
probably true if some men were not
short on political capital there would
not be so much ruction here. 10
