tunity for them. Congressman Haugen
writes that he will be ON hand to see
that the boys are royalty entertained,
and he knows how to do it.

After several months of suffering
from lung trouble, Mrs. VIM. F. Knorr
passed to her reward on Saturday af-
ternOon about three O'Clock.
Marian Louise Anderson was born
at Waukon, Iowa., Nov. /. 1867, and
was married to William F. Knorr
Oct 30, 1894. They lived in Postville
for time, then removed to Law
Ter, where he opened harness shop.
In 1897 they removed to this city,
where they have since lived. To
them were born two children, Bessie
Margaret, aged years and Charlie
Lewis, aged Z years. For about seven
years Mrs. Knorr had been in poor
health, but being of sunny and
cheerful disposition, bore her suffer
ing in silence. She has been confined
to her bed since Dec. Goth, suffering
from complication of diseases which
eliminated in lung trouble. Besides
her husband and two children she
leaves an aged father, J. @. Anderson,
a brother, l.. j. Anderson, of Decor
ah. and one sister, Mrs. G. p. Beale,
of Waukon.
Funeral services Will be held this
Wednesday afternoon at two O'Clock
from the house and at three fro7o the
church, and the remains will be plac-
ed in the receiving vault in Phelps
cemetery until spring.
Mrs. knorr was member of the
Daughters of Rebekah and the Ladies'

which, besides large circle of friends
and neighbors will ever bear her in
kind remembrance.

A Sl250.O 90 Team.

Lovers of horse flesh have the past
few days spent much time in looking
over the beautiful team recently pur-
chased at Charles City by Anderson
Bros. for VIM. Post & Son, of New
York. All unite in pronouncing them
one of the finest pairs of fancy drivers
ever seen in this section. They are a
beautiful bay in color, without a
mark of color::or scratch upon them,
above the average in size, Of excellent
carriage and style, perfectly matched
in every particular, finely bred, and
in fact in all respects as near to per-
lection in a pair of drivers as one
might desire. Anderson Bros. paid
$500 or them and thought they were
getting them cheap.
f. J. Curtin, President of the Citi-
zens Savings Bank knows something
about horses, and saw in them an
ideal team for his friend, Mr.. j. H.
Eckels of Chicago, formerly Comptrol.
Ter of the Currency under President
Cleveland. He conferred with him
about them, and accordingly purchased
them, but two or three days time
made them worth $3.50 additional, and
he had to pay Anderson Bros. $3.50 for
them. We believe this makes them
the finest and highest priced driving
team ever sent out of the county.

THE WEEK IN DISTRICT COURT.
Rudolph Will Remains Intact aud Nelson.
LurOs Probate Matter Now on
Trial. Court Closes
This Week.

Next Saturday will close one o, the
longest and most interesting terms of
court ever held in Winnesheik county.
When Judge Hobson came here over a
month ago, he had five weeks to srend
in this county, and that time will ex-
pire Saturday. On Monday he will go
to Cresco and open court in Howari i
county.
Last week was devoted to the trial
of the will contest in the Charles Ru-
dolph estate During the month Of
March. 1904, some two weeks before
his death, Mr.. Rudolph made his last
will, dividing the property between
his two daughters, Mrs. Emily Rowell
and Miss Gussie, after his wife's
death, which occurred in the fall.
His son Ed. was given by the will on
ly the nominal sum of ST., and he
sought to break the will on the
ground of undue influence and I'M
soundness of mind. The case finally
rested on the charge of unsoundness
of mind, and the attorneys for the
son were N. Willett and Frank Sayre,
those for the daughters 9. E. Boice,
Dan Shea and j. A. Larimore of
Minneapolis. The case was closed and
went to the jury late Friday afternoon,
and at eight o'clock they returned in
to court with the verdict that the will
was valid one and that Charles Ru-
dolph was of sound and disposing mind
when he made it.
On Saturday morning the Nelson
Luros case was called. This is the case
in which the jury disagreed at the last
term of court, and in which Mrs.
Belle Nelson charged the administra-
tor of the estate of 7. A. Luros with
refusing to pay her one thousand dol
lars due her. The administrator.
Theodore Luros, claims the amount
has been paid to her. 1t is very inter
esting case, and will doubtless take
all the week to try it. AS we go to
press the evidence for Mrs. Nelson has
not all been taken. The attorneys for
Mrs. Nelson, .objecting to the accep-
lance of the final report of the admin
istrator, are j. A. Sorley of Grand
Forks, N. d. and E. p. johnson of
this city, and for the administrator
Theo. Luros, Dan Shea and N. Will
lett.
Judge Hobson excused the jurymen
not drawn on this case ON Saturday
morning and adjourned court until
Monday afternoon, going to West
Union to spend Sunday.
Besides these three, the Clifford, Ru-
dolph and Luros cases, but little of
interest has been transacted during the
term.

The Arctander Lecture.

An attraction of more than usual
excellence and merit is offered to the
people of Decorah and vicinity in the
immediate future. We refer to the iIlu-
strated lecture on "A trip to Alaska"
by Hon. Jno W. Arctander Ii. D., the
wellknown Minneapolis lawyer and
orator, which will be given in the Grand
Opera House Friday evening March 3rd,
under the auspices of "Det norske Sell
skab". The we'll established fame of the
lecturer and his well known power to
charm and sway his audience by his
wonderfully beautiful English, and the
praise accorded by the Minneapolis pa
pers to the 200 finely colored views with
which the lecture is illustrated, warrant
the expectation of an entertainment I'm
ique, pleasant and instructive and one
which no one ought to miss.
The lecture, will be a wonderful reve-
lation of the resources and nature of this
great country which has sometimes jok-
ingly been denominated the great "Na-
tural Refrigerator. The lecturer has twice
visited the country personally, has 200
magnifcently colored slides to illustrate
his lecture, and the trip will cover the
whole of this wonderful country, COM
mencing with the exceptionally beautiful
fords and moutain scenery, of South
eastern Alaska, then taking the audience
across the White Pass u Yukon Rail-
way to Yukon River, then down through
its rapids and canyons to Dawson,
where mining camps are visited, then
again to the wonderful Muir Glacier,
and after a short visit to the historic
ally interesting Sitka, the old Russian
Capital of Russian Alaska, in succession
to Yakutat Bay, Mt. St. Elias and Mt.
Mckinley, by the wonderful shores of
the great Island Kadiak, through the
group of the Aleutian Islands, past the
wonderful volcano Bogosloff, witch one
calm day rose from the bottom of the
sea to height OF seven or eight hundred
feet, to the Pribylof Island where views
are presented of the rookeries of the
seals and the sea lions, and thence to
Nome, the great city of Western Alaska,
and beyond to the wonders of the Arctic
Sea and the land of the Midnight Sun in
our own America. That this will be an
interesting lecture goes without saying.
In addition to the fine views the ope-
rator of the stereopticon will exhibit
what is claimed to be Mr.. Edison's
greatest moving picture Shooting the
White Horse Rapids, one of the most
thrilling experiences which the gold
seekers bound for the Klondike had to
go through, before the building of the
White Pass & Yukon Railway, also two
other moving pictures. Panoramic
views on the Yukon and White Pass r..
r., and Running through Kicking
Horse Canyon.
The price of admission is 50 cents and
seats can be reserved at Brunt d Par
mans Every seat in the Opera House
should be taken and we think it will be.

The impeachment trial of Judge
Swayne, of Florida, reached its con-
clusion at Washington, on Monday.
He was acquitted on every article.
The animus of the charges against him
appears to have arisen out of con-
troversy with some lawyers in the
court at Pensacola. 1t appears to
have been weak case from beginn-
ing to end. But it may have accom-
plished one object by getting in the
way Of legislation on some very i'm
portant lines which just now occupy
the attention of the people.

This distressing ailment results from
disordered condition of the stomach.
All that is needed to effect cure is a
dose or two of Chamberlain S Stomach

may be warded off, or greatly lessened
in severity, by taking a dose of these
Tablets as soon as the first symptom
of an attack appears. Sold by Eng

SILVER
DOLLARS ABROAD.

The local police officials hayebeen
informed that counterfeit silver dol
lars Of the dates of 1880 and 1881
are being industriously circulated in
this part Of the state. At this time
Of the year the showers of the
s'queern are able to get in theif
work without much fear of detec-
tom The holiday rush makes mer-
chants less careful in examining the
money they receive and the number
Of extra clerks lSe e employed
also makes it an ps.ktter TO get
rid of this class of \
The counterfeit dollars that are
being circulated are almost a perfect
reproduction of the genuine and it
is a very easy matter to have one
passed. However the dates of these.
coins are 1880 and 1881 and as the
merchants have been warned in adj
vance it is probable that they will
not be yictimized TO a very large ex-
tent.
The new clerks that are employ
, I'D at this season of the year are as
rule unaccustomed to detecting
spurious money, and they are the
particular class of people sought BY
those who have the bad money to cir
culate. A careful lookout will be
kept and it is hoped that this may
lead to the detection of the guilty
parties if they persist in their work.
1t will be remembered that two
years ago just about this time of the
year this section of the country was
flooded with bogus SIS bills. 1t was
,.supposed at that time that most Of
this work was done by number OF
Italians but no arrests were made.
The plan followed was to go into
store during its busiest time. make
d purchase of some toy or other ar
ticle costing only a few cents and
! tender a SIS bill in payment. Thel
change was then profit and as hund-
reds of these bills were put out in
this part of the country the pro-
moters were several hundred dollars
TO the good.
Last wear this same operation was
repeated all over the state with the
exception that the denomination of
the bills used them was only 81 but
a large number were disposed Of.
This year the connterfeitcrs are us
ing silver dollars and reports have
come in from all over the state in
lsIicating that their operations hayel
been extensive.
The fact that the coins passed
this season are such good limitations
ofihe genuine makes it dorbly hard
detect the guilty parties but mer-
iiIl59s and dealers are all on the
for them: The federal an-I
sftselRies will be notified and the
local police will do all in their
power to arrest the guilty ones.
