Eva Tanguay a Sure.Enough Cyclone.

A rip, roaring, raging blizzard
struck the town about Z 80 O'Clock
last night, and at about ten O'Clock
it's fury developed into regular
cyclone. 1t was late in getting here,
and the patrons of the Grand patient
ly waited in their seats for an hour
and half for its appearance. but
when it did come there was no mis-.
take about it. Eva Tanguay is "A
Good Fellow" all right. She's a
peach. She's the most exciting stage
freak that has vet shown up in De.
corah, but she takes the audience
with her, making love with them at
every minute. The play she has tied
up with is her style. and hers only.
No one else could begin to interpret it.
It's about the craziest thing we ever
saw on the stage. and yet it's good.
Eva is a real actress, and has good
company with her.

extract of sarsaparilla blended with
two grains of a combination of pure
and mild vegetable products, making
it blood purifier unexcelled in char
acter. One or two taken every night
for awhile will produce surprising re.

his daily rounds he happened in at

ment and was somewhat surprised to
find the progress and improvements
brought to our community in this
line by Mr.. Boehm during his four
years practice here. Mr.. Boehm has
two complete outfits for regular and
emergency calls, including the finest
and most complete embalmers kit
modern science can produce. The
disinfecting process was also ex-
planned to us. which is a boon to
humanity in case of contagious
diseases This requires skill and
standard chemicles used by the pro-
fession. Mr., Boehm's salesroom
contains rs cabinets which contain
the caskets, ranging in all sizes and
kinds. These are so arranged that
the room can be used as a chapel
which is often the case. Mr.. Doe HIM
has all the modern equipments such as
church trucks, canopy, rugs, folding
chairs, ETC., including, one of the
greatest inventions, the Van Camp
burial vault, made of cement. steel
reinforced. and built portable in
eleven sections. This vault is water
tight, burglar proof and at the same
time inexpensive; when set it weighs
1000 pounds. All in all we can do
no less than compliment Mr.. Boehm
on the improvements he has brought
to light and the progress made in
