Congressional Rurnors.

Out at Mason City there appears to
be an air of mystery over the coming
of Mr.. Fremont s. Gibson to Deco
rah to take charge of the former But
ton store in the liver Larson building.
Gibson is so well known. over the
state as public speaker of note and
politician of renown. that the fact
that he has settled down in the quiet
ude of retail business life in a coun-
try town doesn't seem reasonable to
the ambitious boosters of the busting
Queen of the Midlands." They are
looking for something to happen. 1t
is nevertheless true that he is attend
ing to business, looking after the
trade of the store and at the same
time keeping a stenographer busy
with his large real estate interests, he
being one of the most successful real
estate men in the state. Here is
Mason City's idea about it, as reflect
ed by Will Muse in the Globe-Ga-
zette:
Col. Fremont s. Gibson has been
spending some time at DEBORAH of
late. He gives it out that he was
there invoicing stock OF goods in
volved in a real estate transaction
which had some velvet in it for him.
However. in the manner in which
leading politicians in that county in
Guiding many Scandinavians gave
him the glad hand there is suspicion
that Col. Fremont may be Decorah's
candidate for congress some of these
days. If Fremont will only get
call down here for Fourth of July
speech he will tuck the whole bali
wick in his pocket SO to speak. Col.
Gibson will not be interviewed on
the matter so that this may be set
down yet in the ''only rumor" COL

a Word From Decorah's Square
Dealer

Our customers have no doubt seen
in our advertisements of the great
reductions throughout our store.
These are remarkable bargains,
simply because we are determined
that all our summer suits must be
sold before September 1st. The sale
differs from the usual advertised
sales in this respect: Usually sales
are put on for the purpose of profit.
Ours is not. We must close out eve
ry summer suit, as we need the
room. Again, we want to bring new
customers to our store, so they can
see just how we conduct this bust
ness, and we also take delight in
giving values to our customers that
other merchants think ridiculous.
We have simply made clean sweep,
and when you can buy good all wool
fine suits for $1,000 that are worth
$1,000, $500 and $4,000 it is a
matter of a money saving PROPOSE
ton to come quick and avail your
self of the chance. The same thing
holds good for our $3.50 suits. Some
of them are worth $1,000, $3.50
and S14.00. Thre is no half way
business about this firm. We prefer
to take the first loss. It's the cheap
est for us. We haven't the space to
enamerate all our bargains, but
there is being nothing undone to
make this sale the talk of N. E.
Iowa.
The value of our goods, the lowest
price throuought our store, cannot
help but make this sale a grand sue
cess. When you think of buying
clothing and furnishings, simply con-
suit your own interest and come to

The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1909-09-27

Probably the most unique novelty in
the way of an antique relic, as well as
a most valuable one, is the old fash
toned eight day clock owned by Ben
jamin F. Drischel, of 30 North Twelfth
street, now on display in the window,
of Walter ]. Feeger, the Main street
jeweler The clock bears the unique
distinction of being the only one of its
kind ever seen by any local jewelers..
and it is doubtful If there Is another
like 1t in the entire country.
The estimated age of the clock is be-
tween 125 and 200 years, although
there Is no way of obtaining exact
knowledge in this regard as close in
spection disclosed the fact that it bore
no date whatever. The clock is abou,
nine feet high and about three and g.
half feet wide across the top. 1t strikes
on the hour and at the time OF strik-
ing plays a beautiful tune. The
clocks repertoire consists OF thirteen
old-fashioned German airs. of pecul-
larry pleasing charm. and melodious-
ness. BY pulling cord the clock can
also be made to play between the
hours.
The clock has been in the possession
of the Drischel family for a number OF
years. It was brought to this country
about so years ago by Mr.. Drischers
father, Jacob Drischel, from Germany.
The face of the clock is profusely dec
GRATED with flowers and there is 4

colors, which stand out with unusual
distinctiveness. considering the age OF

are three small wooden figures of men
in the foreground which revolve when
the clock plays an air. The body Of
the clock is of cherry wood, the lower
portion being made in this country.
The works of the clock are interesting
and of very high order of workman
ship. There are a number Of smaG
music tubes varying in size and on the
order of pipe organ, through which
air is forced in some manner and pro-
ducing the music sounds. The clock
keeps perfect time and is attracting a
great deal of attention. Some idea Of
its great age may be learned from the
fact that the keys are lettered in the
old style through H instead of repeat
ing the alphabet again at the letter
G. In the olden days it is said music
was lettered in this manner.
Mr.. Drischel has been offered fabu-
lous sums for the clock from all over
the country, but he stated that he
does not intend to sell the article. Mr..
Drischel is a brother to Daniel Dris-
chel, marshal at Cambridge City.

president announces that he will also
seek legislation to prevent the overis-

ton is that the permission Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission for the
issue Of such new securities must first
be obtained and that the commission
itself must make q careful and formal
inquiry before granting such permis-
sion, and that In no case must stock
be issued for less than par. Other rec
concentrations are to be made to con-
gress by the president on much the

outlook as a whole the executives po-
sition becomes one Of distinct import

BUTTER MAKING - BECOMING
VERY POPULAR.

Marquette, Mich, Sept. 27.-Butte--
making in upper Michigan is gradual
ly taking on the proportions OF an i'm
portant industry. Several creameries
have been established within recen.
years. and SO successful have they
been that others are springing up in
various portions of the region. The
peninsula is still very sparsely set
tied, but its population is increasing
standby, and with the growth of the
farming community 1t is promised that
the number of creamer1es will become
legion.
The latest butter making plant to go
into commission has been established
at Skandia, Marquette county. The
company Is composed wholly of farm.
ers. The capital stock is 5000. Milk
from four hundred cows is being deliv-
cred to the plant daily and next year
much more will be furnished.
Another new creamery is being erect
ed in Felch township, Dickinson coun.
ty. The capitalization in this case is
$500, and practically all the stock is
held by farmers in the surrounding
county.
A third new creamery in Upper Mich
igan is being established at Chatham
Alger county. So enthusiastically
was the project received that within
forty eight hours after the scheme
was launched the stock of 5000 had
been subscribed, a contract for the
erection of the creamery had been
awarded and excavating for the foun-
dation of the plant had been started.
