SENATE VOTES DEBORAH POsroFFICE.
100000 Appropriation For Federal Post
Office in DEBORAH Practically Assured.

On Wednesday last the United
States senate passed the public build.
ing bill passed by the House the week
before, which includes an appropria-
tion-of $50. 900 for DEBORAH. The only
obstacle now remaining is the sigma
ture of President Roosevelt, and there
is little question of this.
Senator Allison succeeded in in
creasing the appropriation for Daven.
port SO. 900. Council Bluffs So, 900 and
Denison So, 500 over the amounts voted
by the House. The Senate committee
cut out altogether the appropriation
for Estherville, but Senator Allison
came to the rescue and saw that it
was restored to the bill.
Decorahians are jubilant over re-
ceiving this plum at the present ses-
sion of congress, as it was generally
believed that it would be several years
before the appropriation would be
made.
We doubt very much that work will
be commenced before next year, as
there is great deal of red tape to be
gone through with in the selection of
plans and letting of the contract. But
DEBORAH can afford to wait, now that
we are sure to get the building.

DEBORAH Will Have Ball Team.

1t is practically assured that De-
corah will support first class base
ball team this summer The commit
tee appointed for that purpose has re-
celved over 81. 200 in subscriptions.
and it is believed that this can be in
creased to an amount sufficient to :
guarantee three or four months of
base ball. E. X Hovden has been
elected manager of the team and B.
J. Mckay treasurer. A large number
of applications for places on the team
are on file from good players. from
which an evenly balanced team will
be selected. The season will probably
open about June 10Th and continue
throughout the summer months.
Arrangements have been made for q
game of base ball at Cresco on the
Fourth of July, between the DEBORAH
team and the Cresco boys. If sufti-
cient number attend from DEBORAH,
provision will be made for an excur.
sion train between the two cities.
Already five DEBORAH players have
been booked. A team as strong or
stronger than that of last year will be
gotten together.

DEBORAH Will Not Celebrate.

At meeting of the city fire depart
ment held on Friday evening, it was
decided, on account of the chautaua ia
being here at the time and the fact
that so many of the adjacent towns
will celebrate, to postpone their
Fourth of July celebration to next
year, instead of celebrating this year
as planned. The fire boys have their
hearts set upon grand celebration,
and want the field clear for miles
around. so will not celebrate this year
as planned, but DEBORAH will attend
the neighboring celebrations this year
and invite the people of these towns
to DEBORAH next year.

Lost His Lee.

On 9ast Friday an unknown man at
Duncan attempted to hop the freight
train while it was in motion and in
some manner slipped and fell under
the train. He came out of the acct
dent minus leg and was brought to
Clifton on the regular passenger and
placed in the hospital for treatment.
The limb was badly crushed and am
putation was necessary, the operation
taking place in the evening.
The misfortune of this poor man
should be warning to great many
Clifton people who have contracted
the habit of jumping on the cars in
the local yards for the sake'of saving
a few steps. Every time an outsider
mounts moving train he is taking a
chance on his life. The company has
issued orders several times prohibit
ing this practice, but there are agreat
many people who do not pay any at
tention to it. 1t will be too late
after an accident occurs.
