Hyde and J.R. Watts. with the Pres
ident and Secretary, constitute the
board of directors. Their authorized
capital was fixed at $4,000.
This business has been successful
investment for the stockholders and
has become one of the fixtures of
Winfield. The gentlemen who COM
pose the company are all progressive
business men and the wonderful
growth of the company's business
speaks for itself. They show that
they are not afraid to tell the people
what they have to sell, and it is safe
to say that they will give full value
for every cent spent with them
They came here shortly after the
first railroad entered the town and

Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1906-05-23

A dispatch from Allison, Iowa, says
that considerable excitement was
caused there when two detectives from
Eldora attempted to arrest two boys,
Leonard Kratzer, of Oskaloosa, and
Riley Mead of DEBORAH, who ran
away from the Eldora reform school
Friday with the Cook & Barrett circus
and went to that place with the show.
The boys were only arrested after
putting up hards fights with the men
who attempted to arrest them, and it
is possible that legal action may be
brought against the managers of the
circus with which they were found.
Kratzer and Mead are both Is years
of age, and are inmates of the Eldora
reform school, but ON account of good
behavior were taken to the circus Fri
day by one of the instructors at the
institution. They succeeded in
getting away from him in the crowd
and were located at Allison with the
circus.
Both started to run when the
officials found them at the show
grounds, Mead being overtaken il
an open field and gave up only after
being overpowered. Kratzer tool
refuge in a barn, where he was cap
ture after fight by exMayol
Scoville, of Allison, and Sheriff
johnson. The manager of the circus
denies any knowledge of their pre-
sence with the show, but the boys
claim that the ticket agent promised
them big wages if they would ac-
company the show. The ticket agent
has not been found, but it il
possible that the charge of abduction
will be fled against both him anc
the manager of the circus.

College Spirit is Manifest.

Last Thursday evening, the 18th OF
May, the day on which the Luther
College base ball team did not go to
Mortified to play st. Olaf, because
some of them played ball and the
faculty would not let them go. the
students engaged in demonstration
the like of which has never been seen
here before. Forming into process
siol, about $50 of them, practically all
the students, marched through the
principal streets of the city to martial
music, and at the head of the line was
an improvised coffin, containing a
base ball outfit. When in the center
of town they held a pow WOW, broke
up the ball bats, and in various ways
showed their dislike and regret over
the loss of the trip and the ball game.

Mail Order Groceries by the Car Load.

On Monday there came to DEBORAH a
whole car load, some 500. 90 worth Of
groceries, mainly tea, coffee and
spices, to be delivered to Winnesheik
county farmers, orders for the same
having been taken by shysters who
bamboozled the people into thinking
they were getting goods extremely
low. They sold tea for 55 cents, when
no DEBORAH merchant charges more
than 90 cents per pound for the best
tea sold, and they loaded off enough
coffee, spices, etc. upon them to last
for months at fabulous prices.
The fact of the matter is, that not
one man in ten thousand can tell good
tea from poor tea, good coffee from
bad coffee, good spices from poor
spices, or tell anything about what
he is getting, except to take the seller Is
word for it. If the goods are bought
of DEBORAH merchant and are unsatis-
factory they can be returned. We
will venture the assertion that not a
single order of this $4,000 in goods,
but what the person buying it was
beaten. 1t is the avowed business of
men who take these orders to beat the
people. Some day the people will
wake up and find this to be the truth.
We could fill columns in telling why
it is to the interest Of everyone to buy
at home. There is not single reason
why one should buy away from home.
Every time you do it lessons the
value of your property.
