HOW FAME COMES.
Men Who Became Great Through Ac-
cident or Chance.

Accident has played an important
part in the making Of great men. If
Cooper had never been challenged by
his wife to write as good a story as
an English novel he had been reading
he might never have been one of the
great novelists.
If Napoleon had persisted in his at
tempts to be writer of essays after
he left the military academy the world
would not have known this great gen
eral.
If Shakespeare had not failed as a
wool merchant and turned actor and
then, becoming disguised with himself
as an Indifferent player, applied him.
self to writing there would never have
been this great dramatist, and no
doubt the plays Of today would have
been inferior to what they are.
Cowley became poetN purely
through chance. When only aNboy he
found in his mothers attic a copy
Of Sponsors "Faerie Queene" and, be-
coming enchanted by the rhyme, deter
mined to write poetry for himself
Gibbon tells that ii was while he was
at Rome among the ruins OF the cap
itol that he was first moved to write
the history of the rise and fall Of that
great empire. Probably had he not
taken a walk on that certain sunny
day he would never have conceived
the work that afterward made him IA
nous.
Corneille, the French poet, was in
the habit of making verses for his
friends. Being fattered by their crit
icism. he gave upshis profession as a
lawyer and turned writer.
Franklin discovered electricity by
accident, and Moliere was turned to
writing comedy. from the tapestry
trade, by a reprimand from his father
for leading dissipated life.
Newton discovered the force OF gray
itation through mere chance. When
a student at Cambridge he went one
day to the country. Being weary with
hh rambles, he sat down beneath an
apple tree, and while hes was musing
+hafa was rridnlv aroussd nv severe

blow from an apple which, falling
from the branches, struck him on the
head. He was surprised at the force
Of the blow from so small an object,
and this led him to deduce the princi-
pie of gravity.
Flamsteed became an eminent as
tronomer through chance. Because of
i'll health he was taken from school,
and, wishing to have some books to
read while in confinement, he borrow
ed book on astronomy. He was so
much interested in this volume that
he procured others and at length adopt
ed the study as a profession.
Pennant, the authority on natural
history, received his propensity in that
direction through chance perusal OF
book on birds which he found on
table in the house of friend, and Sir
Joshua Reynolds was first moved to
his profession of painting portraits by
casually reading Richardson's treatise.

New Bank Officials.

At the annual meeting of the
officials of the Winneshiek County
State Bank, held on the first of the
month, Mr.. Algyer, the cashier, was
elected director in the institution.
Since coming to DEBORAH several years
ago Mr.. Algyer has gradually advance
ed from the position of messenger to
the prominent one he now occupies,
gaining as the years passed the con-
fidence and esteem of not only his
business associates, but the public at
large. He has business capacity and
mature Judgment such as is seldom
found in man. of his age and ex-
perience, and has demonstrated his
ability and fitness for the position he
holds so satisfactorily. tThe teller,
Mr.. Albert Atkinson, was elected
assistant cashier, in recognition also
of his natural ability and careful
attention to- his duties. Mr.. George
Kern was elected teller. He too has
shown himself thoroughly capable to
fill the position, having been very
efficient assistantiin the bank since
he started.
This institutionshas made show
ing the past year that is highly salts
factorily both to itself and the people
at large. Always known as conser-
vative, safe and sound institution, it
has made such gradual progress that
not long ago its daily footings passed
the million dollar mark, and this is
enough cause for pride. 1t has always
been a monument to business ability,
Judgment, conservatism and prog
ress, and looks to the future with am
bition, confidence and assurance of its
further success.

An Expert Opinion.

The noted Russell Railway Guide.
the Webster's dictionary Of railroad
time tables, gives the following very
complimentary and absolutely tru q
opinion of Decorah's beautiful hotel,
the Winneshiek, in it's December num-
Der.
go where you will, look as long as
you choose, analyze the situation as
you desire and. price considered, size
of town considered. you will find no
better in the world than is the Winnie
shiek, at Decorah, Iowa. This is a
pretty strong statement but visits to
that city and to that hotel will verify
what we claim. The hotel was built at
an expense of S75, 600 by the business
mel of Decorah, and was opened
April l., 1905, under the lease of the
present proprietor, Mr.. N. L. Bailey,
who furnished the fifty-two rooms at
a cost of something like SIS, 600. The
hotel is absolutely modern and the
decorations throughout leave nothing
that one could possible criticise. The
hotel is in the center of the city and
the rates are $500 day and up.
As suggested before in this article,
Mr.. N. l.. Bailey is the proprietor
and he has had thirty years experience
in hotels in st. Paul and Hastings,
Minnesota, and Taylor Falls, Wiscon-
sin. He has associated with him in the
management of the business his two
sons, whose pictures accompany this
article, Mr.. Fred Bailey and Mr..
Robert Bailey.

Now if you had thousand bushels
of corn, and you should sell it out to
thousand of your neighbors. a
bushel to each at 81. 80 per bushel, it
would count up to a considerable sum
wouldn't it? But suppose your
neighbors didn't pay for the corn for
year or two, though you needed
money badly in the business, and the
individual amounts being so small it
seemed equally small to ask them for
it. That is the exact situation in a
country newspaper Office, and if sub.
scribers stop to think of the matter
a moment they will find a proper
answer to this conundrum. This is
"a gentle hint.

A school ma'am pull" is a thing
of the past under the new law in
this state requiring teachers to pass
a uniform examination. The smooth
tongue, Apollo like form and lovely
eyes that often mesmerize a superin-
tendent on examination day will play
no part in raising school ma 'am's
grade. Father and Uncle Bill may
be influential politicians but their
recommendation can not hold up
their angelic daughter when she fails
TO deliver the goods at teachers ex-
animation. She will be weighed in
the balance by educational experts
who are not depending on political
pull for their bread and butter and
when she is found wanting she must
step into the kitchen and leave the
school room in the hands of those
willing to qualify for the work. Eek.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
Resolutions Adopted by Chaves coun-
tX ConNention Sentenher 4 1905

Resolutions Adopted by Chaves coun-
ty Convention, September 4, 1906.
We, the Democrats of Chaves coun-
ty, in convention assembled, hereby
adopt the following resolutions:
L. Tha we favor the establishment
of a railroad commission, which shall
have power to regulate both freight
and passenger rates, upon terms fair,
both to the railroads and the public
2. We are in favor of a provision
to the effect that no county, or other
municipality, shall be allowed to bond
itself in favor of any railroad, or pri-
vate enterprise.
| 3. That we favor liberal homestead
| exemptions.
4. That We favor a provision in the
constitution prohibiting the sale or
| giving of same to minor students of
schools, or to habitual drunkards,
VINO have been so declared by mem
bers of their family or by the court.
5. That we favor the adoption of a
provision in the constitution pertain
ing to local option.
6. That we take this opportunity
of expressing our admiration for, and
our confidence in, our m~atchless lead
er, Hon. William Jennings Bryan,
whom we propose to elect, in 1903,
President of the United States. There
fore, we hereby instruct our delega-
ton to the Territorial Convention to
vote for and attempt to secure the
adoption by that body of a resolution
endorsing him as the democratic nom
inee for President at the next ensu
ing presidential election.
Z. In view of the fact that this ter
ritory has been for years seeking in
vain to be admitted into the Union
as a separate State, and, in view of
the further fact tina it seems that
statehood will not be accorded us by
the republicans; who have been for
many years in power, and will prob
ably remain in charge Of the senat
for several years after the next cleo
ton, though the democrats may
elect the next President and a ma
JOrl1y or the mDer OF the Lower
House of the next Congress-; and in
view of the fact that the people of
this territory do not desire longer to
remain under a territorial form of
government, but wish to become cit1-
zens of one of the sovereign states
of this Union, therefore, we are in
favor of voting for joint statehood,
under the terms of the Hamilton bill.
8. In view of the fact that since
the last apportionment of this ter
ritory, the Southeastern portion
thereof mas greatly increased in pop
ulation, so that it does not now lave
such representation in the legislative
body of the territory as it is entitled
to according to the number of it's cit
liens: Therefore We are in favor Of
a re-apportionment so that each coun-
ty in the territory may have such
number of representatives of the leg

islative body of the territory as
equitably belongs to it.
9. That we are in favor of honest
and fair elections, and demand that
our election laws be so changed that
there will be given to ever legal vot-
er of this territory the right to cast
his vote without regard to the wish,
will or deman of any political boss
Or party; and, believing that such
a result may be best brought about
by the adoption Of what is commonly
| known as the Australian Ballot Sys-
tenn of voting, we, therefore, demand
of our representatives who are sent
to the next territorial legislative body
to vote for and attempt to secure the
passage of an act adopting that sys-
tem.
10. We are further in favor of the
| adoption of a law making it a pen
| atty for any person to carry on or
| permit, to be carried on, gambling in
any county in this territory; and,
therefore,, we further demand of the
members of the next legislative body
Of this territory, to vote for and at
tempt to secure the passage Of an
act forever prohibiting and abolish
ing gambling in this territory.
II. We are further in favor of he
adoption of an act that will prohibit
corporations, as well as individuals
from establishing or maintaining n
trust, or combination in restraint of
trade, in his territory; and demand
of our said representatives to vote
for an act making it a penalty for
any corporation or person to attempt
to establish a trust of any kind, or
a combination of any kind in re
straint of trade, or any other business
whereby the interests of the masses
may be injuriously affected by such
wrongful trust or combination.
II. We point with pride to the fact
that the democratic party has been
in charge of the financial affairs of
this county practically ever since the
creation thereof, and we pledge the
people of this county that if the
democratic party snail continue in
power that it will continue to ad-
minister their public affairs efficient
ly, and that our administration will
be such as an Individual of prudence
and caution would give to his own
affairs. We also go on record as be
ing in favor of the county ~treasurer's
depositing the public funds Of the
county with bank or banks in said
county that will pay a percentage on
said funds, and that the interests ac-
cumulated from such deposit become
a part and parcel of the public mon
eys of the county. We favor the
readjustment of the fees and salaries
of Territorial, District and Court Of
fcers with the view of a more fair
and equitable basis to the tax payers

sending them, but do not think it wise
Every letter and telegram that I re-
ceive assures me that the people OF
Kansas are looking to me as their only
hope for the future. They recognize
me as being the brainiest man in Kan
sas, and the only one fitted for the
position Of United States senator, but
/ have nothing to say for publication.
It is true that I have only been mixed
up in politics for about two years, but
as soon as I was discovered the people
realized what a good thing they had
and it seems, from the letters and tele-
grams I am receiving. that they recog-
nize q good thing when they see It.
However, do not care to be inter
viewed. II I do announce myself as d
candidate, / propose to take the stump.
and show the people where they have
been wronged and outraged by machine
politics. 1 know it viii be a great sacTi-
fee on my part Ny business interests
will suffer; but my eyes are now get
ting better and my oculist advises me
that in few days will be in a position
where I may safely personally read all
these messages and letters, and possibly
be able to see my way clear to becoming
United States senator. I do not want
you to publish this statement for the
present. I want to keep it a secret as
far as I can. Senator Dolleyfield is my
representative and is using all the
transportation which he received as
state senator. and it does not cost me
very much. Senator Dolleyfield is an
able man, and understands the situation
and when he finds the feeling anyways
dormant he seems to stir the people up
to an enthusiastic pitch, because wher-
ever he goes I receive from that point
a great many letters and kilograms. I
will keep you advised, and if I conclude
to accede to the opportunities of my
numerous friends from all parts of the
state and announce myself as a candi-
date for United States senator, shall
expect your support.
'4As said before. I don't want you to
publish this statement. but if you do.
please give it a good heading
