Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1907-02-20

Thaw trial, which, however, is at
standstill at p4esent, on account of
the death of the wife of one of the
jurymen. The trial. however, will
beSresumed on Monday. There is
great deal of talk about it. opinions
Of course differ, but the sympathy
seems to be with Thaw. White,
the man he murdered. is all for
gotten. 1 tried to get in at the court
room, but couldn't make it go.
Judge Fitzgerald permitted every
member of the jury to go to their
homes and families without bailiffs,
as he told them he would leave it
to their honor not to converse with
anyone about the trial, from the
time they left the jurybox till they
returned.
The weather has been very change
able, and at the present time it looks
like spring, but for all that we may
have snow in the morning.
Automobiles are the thing here. At
the recent Auto Show" there were,
two and one-half million dollary
worth of these vehicles sold to ben
delivered as soon as completed.
People buy them here for all uses,
pleasure as we'll as business.
Trade of all kinds is good, whole
salers, manufacturers and retailers
are all busy. Goods are no cheaper.
and manufacturers say they will not
be for some time. There is scarcity
of wool as we'll as cotton, and as
labor is high and everybody who
wants work can get it, l can't see
that merchandise of all kinds will he
much cheaper. The country is pros
porous, and farm produce of all
kinds brings good prices. so that
feel that we don't have much reason
to complain. AS said before,
am trying tC finish up, and will be
glad to return home at the end of
the coming week. 1 have bought a
grand stock of goods, as good as
money will buy. and 1 feel sure our
customers will like the selections.
With my regards to you personally
and all friends, believe me always,
Yours,

Perhaps no measure which. comes
before Congress evokes more enthusi-
astic bursts of eloquence than the bill
providing for appropriations for rivers
and harbors. There is no more reason
for some of these appropriations than
there would be for appropriating
money for canals on the planet Mars
Still, the members of Congress feel
districts are entitled to recognition.
A few days ago Hon. +. S. Gambler
made a plea for an appropriation for
the Tombigbee River, small stream
rising in Mississippi and flowing
across Alabama into the Gulf of
Mexico. In the course of his grafton
Mr.. Gambler said q have heard it's
murmuring waves as they went sing
ing their beautiful song toward the
Gulf since the early days of my child
hood, and they have continued to
sing along the path of my life and
have given me inspiration to love
the beauties of nature and admire
those grandeurs and those glories that
come alone from the great creative
hand of God above - II the appro-
priation desired is granted and the ex-
pected improvements made, the Tom
bigbee and some of the other streams
would be so spoiled that they would
no longer appeal to the poetic nature
of congressman and draw from them
such bursts of eloquence. In the
interest of literature the pleas for such
appropriations should be denied. =

In spite of its confiscation by the
Russian government and the most ex-
treme precautions to prevent its
reaching the public, General Kouro-
patkin's history of the Russo Japanese
war has at last become accessible,
and has been read with great interest
everywhere. Kouropatkin's reasons
for the failure of the war are based
chiefly on a comparison of the warlike
spirit of the Japanese, their prepared
ness and valor, which he says had
never been in any previous war. and
their ability to maintain the numeri.

the offensive, with the disadvantages
OF Russia owing to the inadequacy OF
the single railway from Europe in
feeding her fighting strength, to com.

Mrs. Shoecraft Dead.

Mrs. Lucy J. Shoecraft. wife Of
Merchant George Shoecraft, died
Tuesday morning about 10 O'Clock,
at the advanded age Of IT years.
About nine months ago. Mrs. Shoe
craft sustained broken hip from a
fall, and in all these months has not
been able to stand on her feet, or even
to sit up but few times. For several
weeks her strength had been waning
and so life lamp burned slowly out.
The sweet spirited christian forti-
tude with which this sufferer patiently
bore her affliction affords an object
lesson from which all of us should
profit.
Mrs. Shoecraft has been faithful
member Of the Methodist church for
many years. Before her aftliction
there were none in the church more
regular in attendance at worship than
| Mrs. Shoecraft and her husband
both always came together and oc-
cupied seats near the same place
She spoke of her religious experience
often during her last illness, and even
Immediately before death gave clear
testimony to abiding faith and con-
sciousness of having won the christ
ian's yictory-the crown of everlast-
ing life.
The funeral service was in the
Methodist church yesterday afternoon
at ; O'Clock, Rev H. B. Cox, of
Newport. preaching fitting sermon.
lnterment was at Oak Lawn Gene
tary shortly after O. clock.
May the aged companion, now left
so lonely, he comforted and sustained
by that grace which kept his wife
faithful to the end, even under the
heavy bond Of afflction.

to break the people from sending their
money off, just sell the goods to them
so cheap that the people will lose
money by sending off.
Of course there are some people
who'll send off anyway, just for the
name of it, but you needn try to fool
them by telling them il is culls and
imitation. ETC.. they get, for they
know whether that is true or not and
you might get caught in fib, for the
mail order houses handle some first
class goods-but not all-neither do
the local merchants handle all first
class goods.
Now in conclusion, let us join
hands, help one another by asking
only fair and legitimate profit on
what we sell and we'll just keep oul
money at home.
The home merchant and dealer
must advertise, like the mail order
houses do, more and let the people
know what they have and the price
and we all do better.
