AN HONORABLE CAREER
X. |. HAUGEN TO CELEBRATE THIRTIETH
BUSINESS ANNIVERSARY.
In Appreciation OF Business Favors During
the Past Thirty Years Mr.. Haugen Will
Give Sweeping Reductions in All
Departments Of his Business.

Thirty years ago next week Friday.
Mr.. K. |. Haugen opened store in
the city of Decorah. ard throughout
all these years his establishments has
been one Of the most prominent bust
ness houses in Decorah Starting on
a small scale, his business has
gradually grown and developed until
now he occupies large double
store. one of the most handsome in
northeastern Iowa, filled with
very carefully selected stock of
merchandise, and his name stands
for stability, honesty and upright
ness throughout the entire county.
In November, 1870. he became an
apprentice in the store of G.. Syver-
son, at the salary of $500 per
month. After six years faithful
service, during which time by
frugality and care he had saved some
money, together with Mr. Rierson
purchased the store from their en-
ployer. unfortunately the few years
that followed were marked with a

A CENTENARIAN DEAD.
OLDEST RESIDENT OF WINNESHIEK
COUNTY PASSES AWAY.
Hugh Mcbride, Prominent Resident OF
Orleans Township. Dies at the Excep.
tionally Advanced Age Of 104.
MCBRIDE

To have lived hundred years and
more, and half of that long period to
live upon the same old homestead, is
a distinction which comes to but few
people, and yet such has been the case
of Mr. Hugh Mcbride of Orleans
township. who passed away from old
age on Tuesday, February 10th, 1907,
at the home of his son, Arthur, on
the old homestead in Orleans township
where he had spent over half a
century. From the Atlas of Winnie
sheik County we learn that he was
born in County Monaghen, Ireland,
in 1903, where he spent his boyhood
and early manhood. At the age of
twenty. five he was married to Bridget
Slavin, resident of the same county.
who died after a short married life,
leaving three small children to her
husbands care. 1t was about this
time that Irish immigration to
America was at it's height and with
desire to make home for himself
and his children, his thoughts
naturally turned with the tide of

immigration westward. Never be-
fore having travelled outside the
county where he was born and
reared, standing face to face with an
uncertain future, on the brink of a
voyage to strange land, we can
better imagine than describe his
feelings as he bade farewell to his
loved ones and native land in 1850.
Landing in New YORK he staid there
one year, going from there to Illi-
nois, remaining there about two
years. In 1853, in company with
Daniel Callahan, he made the journey
on foot to Winnesheik county, locat-
ing for a short time on piece of land
in Section "a, Madison township.
Returning to Illinois, he staid there
two years, having in the meantime
taken out his first papers as a citizen
of the United States, ANA also sent
for his children to come to this
country In 1866 he came TO Winnie
sheik county and located on farm
in Section H., Orleans township,
where he resided mp to the time of
his death. For many years past the
farm has been conducted by his son,
Arthur, with whom he has lived He
was noted for his honesty and in
dustry, and until u short time ago,
performed limited amount of
manual labor daily. In politics he
was always staunch supporter of
the Democratic party, and since be-
coming citizen of this country, has
never failed to exercise the right of
franchise. He was man who en- :
joyed the confidence and respect of
all who knew him and IN his death
the county loses an honored and
valuable citizen. He is mourned by
two children, Arthur and Mrs Ell.
Tobin of Sioux Falls, s. D., besides
a large number of neighbors and
friends throughout the county.
The funeral services were held at
ST. Bridget's church in Button
township on Thursday, Revs. Father
Have and Collins of Decorah offciat-
ing, and were attended by large
number of friends and neighbors.

Mr.. Rierson retired, and since that
time Mr.. Haugen has conducted the
business alone. Starting as renter,
soon he purchased the little building,
afterwards enlarging, then rebuilt
it, and some years ago made the
handsome double store which he now
occupies. one of the very best in
size. appointments, arrangement, etc
in northeastern Iowa
Mr.. Haugen is truly self made
man, and his business lis self made
also. He has always applied himself
closely TO his business, watching
every detail of the big store carefully,
endeavoring at all times TO keep in
stock only the better grades of goods,
thoroughly reliable and trustworthy
stock. and sell the same at as close a
margin as is consistent with conserva-
tive business methods. He is liberal
user of printers ink, and when
promise is made in his advertisement.
il is everywhere known that it will
be fulfilled TO the letter This has
made his store favorite shopping
place for all classes of people, and his
name known in every section of the
county, for he has seldom done busi-
ness with a person in all his career
without making him q friend.
The citizens of Decorah and Winnie
sheik county will heartily congratu-
late him upon having reached the
thirtieth milestone in his business
career and wish for him many future
years of health. happiness, and sue
cess in business.
In his announcement this week he
gives the particulars of the method
of showing his appreciation of past
business favors, the same method en-
ployed by him with such general sat
isfaction ON former occas ions. In
stead of souvenirs, etc. he will make
a general discount ON everything in
the store, giving his customers an
opportunity 20 secure goods at extra
special prices during these two days
only, next week Friday and Saturday,

Preliminary estimates made by the
bureau of census as result OF the in
vestigation of marriage and divorce
statistics, which began last summer,
indicate that the number of applica-
tions for divorce filed throughout the
United States in the twenty year
period from 1887 to 1906 will reach the
enormous total of l.40O. 900. 1t is
estimated that three fourths of the
applications have been granted. so
that the statistics when compiled
will show that in the period stated
more than one million divorces have
been allowed. In the twenty-vear
period from 1867 to 1887, for which
divorce statistics were secured, the
total number of divorces was 32S, 600.

LET 1T BE CHANGED.

We have been a resident of Decorah
for the past sixteen years and during
that period we have occasionally
heard the suggestion made that the
name of the Upper Iowa river should
be changed to Oneota. We are not
aware, however, that any concerted
action has ever been taken with that
end in view. Individuals have ex-
pressed the opinion that it ought to
be done, but so far as we know,
nothing has ever come of it. There
are many reasons why this change
would be desirable, while there does
not appear to be single objection to
it. We have in the state, an Iowa
county, AN Iowa city. several Iowa
townships, and an Iowa river which,
including the name Of the state ought
to be amply sufficient to satisfy the
patriotic sentiment of every citizen
of this Beautiful Land" Then,
too. the fact Of there being two
Iowa" rivers in Iowa, causes con-
fusion in the minds of strangers who
seldom stop to make a distinction
between the Iowa" and the Upper
Iowa. (which is unfortunate because
it is to the disadvantage of every
part of the territory through which
the Upper Iowa runs. The Iowa is
a larger stream than the Upper Iowa
and runs through the central part of
the state which gives it decided
advantage over it's northern namesake
with people outside the state. Even
our own residents drop the prefix.
Upper" when they speak Of our
river, which certainly goes to show
that it is, to say the least, incon-
venient. We have been told that
Oneota was the name of an Indian
princess, in the long ago. with whom
beautiful legend of love has been
associated. What could be more ap-
propriate than to perpetuate the men,
ory of that lovely daughter of the
tribe whose hunting grounds were
made verdant and fruitful by the rip
pling waters of Northeastern Iowa's
fairest stream. We do not know by
whose authority the desired change
could be brought about, whether the
power rests with the legislature or
with the people residing in the
territory through which the river
runs, and are therefore more closely.
interested. But we do believe that
the necessary steps should be taken to
make the change at once, and all the
more so because the coming summer
will witness the completion of the
dam down the river and the conse-
quent formation of a beautiful lake of
considerable dimensions. which will
doubtless prove to be an attraction
for pleasure seekers from abroad who
will not be slow to avail themselves
of the pleasures of boating and fishing
on Lake Oneota. What say you
citizens, shall we move for the
change?
