Death of Fat Rump.


The station had the misfortune on
Tuesday to lose the male of the pair
of Persian fat-rump sheep bought as
a matter of curiosity. There is little
loss to experiments being carried on, as
the animals We're found wholly unfit
for cross breeding, their flesh nor their
wool being of any great value. The
animals were evidently affected by the
climate or altitude, the male dying
from sheer inability to keep the breath
of life. The female is still in the breed
ing pens, but she is old and her ears
have a Respondent, dropping look that
reminds n indeed of an aged widow
whose mate has passed to the beyond
and she longs TO follow from sheer
loneliness. Prof. Mcconnell believes
that, the sheep being indigenous to the
arid plains of Persia, where there is
not ample food for the whole year, they
draw strength from the great masses
of fat on their rumps when they have
no better food for nourishment. The
wool is coarse and of little merchant
able value.
Will Make Address of Welcome.
Prof. ]. d. Towar, director of the ex-
pertinent station, will represent Mayor
Spalding, at that gentleman's kind invi-
%tation, at the opening session of the
fourth annual convention of the Wyo.
ming Wool Growers association here
a week from tomorrow, speaking for
the people of the city in a welcome on
behalf of the city to the president of
the association. Prof. Towar is a
pleasing speaker, thoroughly in love
with his work here, n his address
will be worth hearing from the stand,
point of local pride in the station and
its efficient management.

Telephones i'm Iowa.

Statistics show that the farmers of
Iowa are progressive and enjoy the
conveniences which their urban CO.
workers in life enjoy, in fact they
show that the farmers of this state
can hold their own with any in the
union, If not in fact having more
telephones, in proportion to their pop
ulation and the number of their
farms, than any other state in the
union.
The census of this state for the
year 1905 shows that Iowa has a to-
tai of 154,O29 farms, that the pop
ulation in the rural districts of the
state is 1,142,114. In other words
the rural population of the state is
SIT per cent of the total population,
assuming that the total population of
Iowa is 2,21O,025. James HI. Shoe
maker, of Waterloo, president of the
Iowa State Independent Telephone
association, in paper read at the
annual convention of the Internal
ional Independent Telephone assoc
iation, recently held in Chicago,
stated that there are in this state a
total of 288,851 tele homes, of which
134,452 are located in the rural dis
tricts. Taking the figures of the
state census of 1905 and the state
ments of Mr.. Shoemaker and it is
seen that the 154,029 farms of the
state are equipped with 134,452 tel
ephones, a showing which is believed
that the farmers of no other state in
the union can make.

Another Convenience.

New telephones are being inau-
gurated in country school houses. At
several districts throughout the state
telephones have been placed in rural
schools and are proving quite bene-
fetal to teachers, scholars and par
ents. In case of sickness of a pupil
the telephone comes in very handy
to either call a doctor or notify the
childs parents. In bad or stormy
weather it again comes in quite
handy, giving the parents an oppor-
tunity to send word to the teacher
that they will come to the school
house for the scholar, and in many
different ways the telephone in the
country school is proving quite a
valuable addition In most places
the phones are put in without any
expense to the district, social or
some other form of entertainment
being held at the school house and
the money raised in this way. Some
of our neighboring schools should
adopt this idea.

DEBORAH Bank BUYS Canal Bonds.

The Citizens Savings Bank of De-
corah was one of the successful bid
ders for some of Uncle Sans Panama
Canal bonds last week. The bank
bid for $4,000 worth through Fisk
& Robinson of New York, who form
ed syndicate of s10,0O0,00O, and
were allotted $4,000 at premium
of 1902 ". They also bid for $50,000
through the National City Bank OF
New York, but have not as yet heard
from them. AS is well known, the
bond issue was quickly taken and
banks were not allotted the full
amount asked for. 1t surely is a
good sign when bank in small
city like DEBORAH bids for 2 per cent
government bonds, and they are a
mighty good thing for the bank to
hold

Destructive Fire at Cresco.

One of the most destructive fires
in the history of Cresco occurred
Wednesday evening, when the AL
lance Mercantile Association large
store building together with the GEN.
trail office and building of the North
ern Iowa Telephone Company were
totally destroyed, together with all
contents. The destruction was COM
plete and nothing remains but the
iron covering of the telephone build
ing and a cellar full of bricks and
smouldering debris.
About $3.50, employees of the store
discovered that there was a fire in the
basement in the vicinity of the boiler
room and at this time the smoke was
SO dense that no one could get to the
fire, so they commenced pouring
water down the register and sum-
moned the fire department and work
ed necessarily from that time on,
Enough water was poured in the cell
lar to drown any ordinary fire, and
not until about s o'clock was the
flame visible, when all at once the
north and south walls fell outward
and simultaneously with an explos-
i've noise which must have resulted
from the ignition of gases formed
by the heat of the fire. 1t is said that
in the vicinity of the fire was a tank
of kerosene and a quantity of lubri-
eating and paint oil were kept in tne
basement and it was probably the
burning of the oils which made such
quick work of the doomed building
nearly all the wall having fallen
within 80 minutes after the building
burst into flames.
No effort was made to remove the
contents of the telephone office until
the Alliance store had burst out in
flames, as it was supposed that the
fire there was under control AS a
result, but little was taken out of the
building save their books and &C
counts.
Both the Alliance and the Tele-
phone Co., lose heavily as result of
the fire. The Alliance carries the
building and fixtures at $4,000, al
though its cost to them was in excess
of that figure. Their stock, on a
basis of their last invoice of$28,000
and with the usual large stock of
winter and holiday goods, will easily
make a loss on stock of $4,000.
Their insurance policies are in the
safe in the ruins, but the officers
are quite sure that the insurance is
$4,000 on building and $4,000 on
stock. The telephone company car
ried but 81, 500 insurance, about one
third their loss, as the switch board
alone was valued at $2,0O0.-Cresco

Elected director Of state Fair.

President e. J.. Curtin of the Citi-
zens Savings Bank was last week
honored with being elected a mem
Der of the Board of Directors of the
Iowa State Fair Association. The
Iowa State Fair has come to be a
great exposition, having the largest
stock show in the world, and a mem
bership on the board of directors
carries with it large responsibilities
and the necessity of mature business
judgment. That they have chosen
wisely in selecting Mr.. Curtin for
this important duty, it is needless to
state.

TO-Nights Attraction.

THE Thief. which Charles Froh-
man is to produce at the Grand this
Wednesday evening, has been the
most important dramatic work pre-
sented in Paris and New York during
the last two years, SURPRISING all ex-
pectations. Its critics say that it's
power must be seen to be appreciated
properly. What the outcome is, it
would not be fair to repeat in adj
vance, but it can best be said that at
every turn the playwright goes
counter to the probabilities Of the
moralities, and always
is he logical, always profounding
human, always convincing.
