Flax Don't Iniure Land.

Scientific experiments have proven
that if flax was pulled it would not
exhaust the land any more than oats
or any other crop.
The supposed injury to the soil is
caused by blowing under the long
stubble. which from it's peculiar,
tenacious and fibrous nature, does not
rot like other stubble. Consequently
by cutting your fax low, you not only
avoid this difficulty, but add to the
value of your straw, as the bottom of
the stack is not only heavier, but con-
tains more fiber. There is perhaps, no
crop raised in this country that re-
turns to the farmer as much money
per acre as flax. The yield is good,
and the price big, beides, the straw
itself pays fair rent on the land.
For the past five years, the Union
Fiber Co., has taken all the flax
straw raised in this section of the
country and paid good price for
same and present indications point to
a greater demand this fall.

Opening a Great Success.

In the many years that he has been
in business in DEBORAH, Mr.. X. l.
Haugen has had many special days,
when his store was crowded, but
never anything to be compared with
the spring opening on Saturday. He
had advertised during the week that
he would have an orchestra on Sat-
urday, the opening day and from early
morning until late at night dense
crowd passed through the::store, listen
ing to the music, admiring the beauti-
full decorations, and inspecting the i'm
mense spring stock which fills the
store. The decorations were very
tasty, large festoons of dainty and
pretty colors dropping from the CELL
ing, and the arrangement of the wind
ows and the store in general was in
deed inviting. That the people were
highly pleased with the opening is
evidenced from the fact that they
packed the pavement for twenty feet
outside the store much of the day
waiting for their turn to go in. The
opening was great success. The
special prices continue throughout the
week.

column, write-up of our magnificent
court house. The article is mainly
descriptive, but is begun as follows:
lone of the first questions asked of
visitor to DEBORAH is: Have YOU
seen our new court house?' and the
questioner swells with conscious
pride as he offers to conduct his guest
through its handsome and well APP
pointed offices. And we'll may the
citizens of DEBORAH and Winnesheik
county be proud of their county build
insg. 1t is not an ostentatious pile of
masonry, gaudy and famboyant, but
is dignified structure, carefully de-
signed for its purposes, large enough
for the needs of the future, harmonious
in its detail and convenient in it's ar
rangement. 1t is in every way so
worthy of the consideration of every
one and so thoroughly the exponent of
the progressive spirit of our neighbors
of DEBORAH and Winneshiek county
that we take pleasure in presenting
our readers with view of it together
with a description of its main fea-
lures.

Death of Mrs T. A. LurOs.

The news of the death Of Mrs. T.
A. Luros came as shock to those
who knew her here on Friday. When
she was here with her husband about
month ago she was taken ILL, but
recovered and went home. However.
she became worse and was taken to a
hospital at Devils Lake, N. D., where
she died while submitting to an opera
tion for tumor. She was the daughter
of the late Anon Anderson of Ridge
way, and was born in Orleans town.

A. Luros May II, 1892, when he was
country recorder of this county. The
remains were brought to Ridgeway
Saturday, and the funeral held in Or
leans township on Monday. The many
friends of the grief stricken husband
throughout the county will extend
deepest sympathy in his sad bereave-
ment. -l..

A Very Successful Institute.

One of the most successful insti-
tutes ever held in the county has been
in progress during the past week at
the high school building. The at
tendance has reached about $50 and
the work has gone forward without
hitch, the instructors being un-
usually pleasing to the teachers in
attendance. President H. H. Seerley
of the Iowa State Normal School lee
tured last evening, and will deliver
two lectures today. That they are
highly entertaining and instructive
goes without saying to those who
know him. Monday evening a basket
ball game between the high school
and DEBORAH Institute ladies' teams
was played for the institute, and
resulted in victory for the DEBORAH
Institute by the score of to s. Supt.
Hook is receiving congratulations on
all sides fol his arrangement for and
conduct of the institute.

A Valuable Invention.

The acquaintance of Joseph Graf,
of Calmar, the gentlemanly brakeman
on the DEBORAH branch, have for
some time known that he was endea-
voring TO secure a patent on l-joint
connection which he invented two or
three years ago. The last issue of the
Scientific American contains notice
of the granting of the patent, and
an illustrated description of the in
vention. Its purpose is to provide a
very secure clamping device which
will, at the same time, permit longi-
tudinal expansion and contraction OF
the rails due to changes of tempera-
ture. Two similar clamping plates
are used which are locked together by
key, and key and clamping plates
are then held in a shoe which pre-
vents the key from slipping out and
provides a substantial base for the
rail joint. A minute description
without the illustration is impracti-
cal. but it is sufficient to say that
this invention bids fair to revolu-
tionize the rail joint of the modern
railroad track, and it is the sincere
hope of everyone that Mr.. Graf will
realize a fortune from it.

The Musical Union Concert

The concert given by the Luther
College Musical Union at the Grand
Friday night, was success in every
particular. The. house was filled with
an appreciative audience, which gave
evidence by frequent outbursts of APP
plause of its enjoyment of the various
numbers. The college band rendered
excellent music, especially fine was
the selection from Verdi's Eranni,
which showed thorough drill and
painstaking on the part of all the
boys. Prof. Bryson greatly pleased
his audience with his violin solo,
Muzurka de Concert, by Musin, as
did the vocalists in their several
renditions, which were all pleasing
and we'll received. 81 c-

INTO THE POND He WENT, HEAD FIRST.

master did not see him.
