A VERlTABLE EMPORIUM.

Dealing Clothing
Store.

The other day we requested one of
the employees in Ben Bears store to
show us through the different depart
ments and make some explanations
oncerning the immense fall and win
er stock of goods which Mr.. Bear
as received and has placed on sale
during his annual Fall Opening,
which commenced Saturday and will
last throughout this and next week.
We were surprised to note the i'm
mense amount of goods which has
been gathered together in this one
stock. every department OF which is
complete, without doubt the largest
and most comprehensive assembling
OF the finer and better grades of cloth
ing, hats, fur coats, gents furnishings,
ect. as well as the cheaper qualities,
that can be seen for distance of
couple of hundred miles about. 1t
is the biggest stock ever in this big

store, and runs to much better grades
and values than ever before. In sell
Getting his stock this year, Mr.. Bear
gave particular attention to the quail
ty of the cloth and the tailoring.
There is no adulterated stock, nothing
|slighted about the goods or the manu-
facture into garments. which conform
in each case to the handsome designs
and snowy styles of the latest fall and
winter fashions. which were really
never before 50 genteel and pleasing
as this year, all the better goods being
made strictly to Mr.. Bears order.
From the reserve department. on the
second floor, where the stock of fur
coats and the over supply of other
lines is kept, to the basement, each
department is complete in every way.

full value for every cent paid. this is

simply name at Ben Bears store, it
is the real thing, an absolutely truth
full statement that thirty years of busi-
ness has proven beyond all question.
1t is but simple justice to the store TO
state that in comparison. with the big
stores of other cities which we have
repeatedly visited this establishment
excells in quality and in price, and
Winneshiek county has right to pride
in this matter, for such store in
town the size of Decorah can't be
found elsewhere in America.
We eau simply state that every nook
and corner is crowded with all that
is needed for the covering and comfort
of men and boys; overcoats, fur as
well as plush lined, and all grades of
cloths, cravenettes, suits of every des-
cription, personally selected and hand
tailored; shirts, collars, cuffs. neck
wear, the latest productions; under
wear by the case, bought from the
manufacturer direct shoes, hats.
trunks. valises. etc. in fact every
thing you can think of in the line of
gents furnishings, stock complete in
all departments, and marked at prices
that will rapidly dispose of it all.
The store has been conveniently ar
ranged and the stock we'll displayed
for the fall opening, which began
Saturday, and during which fine Ger
man cloth brushes will be given away
to patrons. The large display windows
are filled with artistic decorations
showing the new lines, giving every
appearance of a large city establish
ment, which is certainly verified by
visit to the inside.

"Where there is smoke there is fire. {"
There has been so much speculation
about electric lines through Decorah

that it is only question of time be-
fore one will be constructed.

clerk, Miss M. s. Scott, here about a
week ago. who has been busy collect
ing statistics. crop reports, maps of
the route, elevations, etc. and when
he gets this report he will come to
Decorah, according to his clerk, and
take up the matter. His clerk states
that Mr.. Dunlop represents large COM
panies whichawill finance the road,
and will be able to construct it if
necessary, without local capital. and
will probably ask only for the people
along the line to provide for prelim-
mary surveys. in order to show that
they are interested in the proposition
and will give it their support when
completed. The amount necessary
for this purpose will be repaid at the
time of the first sale of stock. He
proposes to call the line The Wan.
kon, Decorah & Rochester Railway
Co., and it will connect these three
cities.
Mr.. Dunlop has been in the railway
construction business for good many
years. Some years ago he built a
short steam line near Chatfield, Mimi.
and has during the past year been
building electric lines, three of them
now being under construction, the

UNITED STATES NOW RULES CUBA.

The outcome of the Cuban insurrec.
tion is proclamation by Secretary of
War VIM. H. Taft of the United
States, declaring himself provisional
governor of the island. Unable to pro-
cure an amicable settlement of the
difnculties which arose between the
insurgents and the local government,
the United States through Secretary
Taft, has taken possession of the is.
land, and there is little doubt that
eventually it will be annexed to the
United States, and become, instead of
mere charge, a part and parcel
thereof. The Cuban flag still floats
over the island and all executive de-
partments, including provincial and
municipal governments, will continue
to be administered as under the Cuban
republic. American troops will be
used it necessary to preserve order.
although no resistance to this action
on the part of the United States is
anticipated. for both factions are
cooperating with Gov. Taft in the
effort to restore peace and order.
While doubtless an effort will be
made to establish order and place the
republic Of Cuba on it's feet again,
it is more than probable that the
ultimate outcome will be annexation
to the United States. 1t will be a
difficult matter to recede from the
advanced position already taken. A
large element among the Cubans pre-
fer annexation, and the American ele.
ment is practically unanimous for it
Foreign powers interested in the trade
of the island favor it, and it seems to
be evident that the Cubans cannot
preserve peace and order permanently
among themselves.
The United States has given her
every opportunity, assistance and en-
couragement to work out her own des.
tiny and establish a republic. The
Cubans have by internal strife and re-
bellion wrecked the fair prospects Of
peaceful. progressive government, and
shown incapacity to govern them
selves. The alternative is the action
taken by this government, which
seems to be the right movement.

PROTECTION AND PROSPERITY.

This is a pretty prosperous country.
We have increased in material wealth
under republican administration of
government from $1,000, 600. 900 to
800. 600, 600. 600. The republican par.
ty is not to be given credit for all of
our prosperity. The good Lord, and
the rich soil we have been developing,
have had much to do with our in
crease in wealth. But the economic
principles of the party of commercial
and industrial protection have had an
important part to play in this devel-
opment. says the Monticello Express
The young man who will cast his first
vote this fall can hardly remember
that recent time when the democratic
party was in full control of every
branch of the government for two
years. But those who are little OIL
der will recall its attempts at the en-.
actment of a tariff law verging upon
free trade-the Gorman- Wilson law,
which remained in force for about
four years-those four years of dis
tressful hard times from 1894 to 1897.
We know the democrats made mess
of it, and we recall how the people
wiped out their government just as
quickly as the laws permitted them to.
We do not have to be told that the
Dingley tariff law was enacted just as
speedily as possible. Mckinley, the
great apostle of protection, knew what
the trouble was, so did Tom Reed and
Nelson Dingley. The senate and the
house with republicans in control OF
both, knew what would restore good
times, and they put us back on the
protective basis. We have been there
ever since, and never in our history
was there more work for everybody
than there is right now. AS republi.
cans we may not agree upon tariff
schedules. We never will. No man
is wise enough to frame tariff that
will be suitable for every part of this
country of diversified industries and
conflicting interests. Dingley framed
one that set business to thrObbing and
men to hoping. 1t turned the foreign
balance Of trade into our favor. and il
has done its full share in giving us the
past eight years of unexampled pros
perity. There are those who would
strike down that law. though they
know by experience that the results
would be disastrous. Modify it whel
and where necessary, but always keel
in mind the great economic principl,
of pretection-the principle that is /,
fundamental tenet OF the republican
party.
