HOME COMING PROGRAM
Committees are Busy Formulating
General Program of Festivities
of the Week.

The committees are busy this week
arranging the program for the weeks
entertainment during the Home
Coming, and endeavoring to finally
settle upon every attraction, etc. for
the entire week, so that a general
program can be formulated. 1t is
big job to get everything lined up,
so that every minute of the time
will be occupied for the whole week,
and yet have things so arranged that
the big crowds can have an opportu-
nifty to see it all, without missing
anything. With the meetings of
Home Ccmers and Old Settlers, the
registrations, the reunions, the big.
parades, the free amusement attrac-
lions and the sports, the morning
programs will be as well filled as the
afternoon. Then comes the march
to the fair grounds, the speeches,
probably one each by Governor B. F.
Carroll, Senator j. P. Dolliver, SEN
ator A. B. Cummins and Senator M.
". Johnson of North Dakota; the
performing wild animals, jaguars,
panthers, leopards. etc.; the Velde
Trio with their trained dogs and
acrobatic work; the Bottomley
Troupe in their sensational mid-air
acts, actually flying through the air;

Fred SchOOmnakeI's Ball Team,

Letters have been received in De-

Fred Schoonmaker at Swift Current.
saskatchewan, Canada. to the effect
that he is thinking of taking long
tour with the Swift Current base ball
team, playing at points between that
place and DEBORAH and disbanding
here. 1t is quite likely that game
will be arranged for him here when

Gale TOrsen Painfully Injured.

About seven o'clock last evening as
Mr.. Engen, who lives near Highland
vile, was driving down Washington
street, the king bolt on his wagon
tongue came out, and his horses be-
came frightened and leaving the
wagon behind, dashed down the
street at break-neck speed. AS they
came to the Vernon street corner,
little Gale Torsen swung around on
to Washington street, riding bicy-
Gle. The horses ran into her and
knocked her down upon the brick
pavement, rolling and sliding over
her and carrying her to the edge of
the curling near the Henry Potratz
corner. The team scrambled up and
ran across the street into telephone
pole near G. F. Bakers house, where
they stopped. Mr.. Baker happened
to be there and running out at once
picked Gale up and carried her into
his house, and it was fifteen or
twenty minutes before she gained
consciousness. At first it was fear
ed that she had been severely injur-
ed, and the wonder is that she was
not killed outright, but she is resting
easy this morning, and will speedily
| recover, it is thought. No bones
were broken, her injuries being con-
fined 70 cuts about the face and arms
| and severe bruises over the body.
1t is exceedingly fortunate that she
escaped without being permanently
crippled, and even with her life. The
Team had run away once before dur
| ing the day and were in an ugly
! mood.

the wives of the local Odd Fellows

q very pleasant occasion and there
was large number present.

Base Ball Friday.

Cresco, the old base ball rivals OF
DEBORAH, will be here for game on
Friday afternoon, and it promises to
be close one. The rumor that Cres-
co had disbanded, printed elsewhere
in this paper, is an error, as they
have only reorganized their team
and added one or two men, making
it stronger than ever. Decorah's
victory over Rochester has shown the
mettle of the home team, and the
game Friday ought to be good one.
Come out and root for the home
team.

Edward Bear of this city the family

From the entire city and in fact all
over northeastern Iowa will come
warmest congratulations to this most
highly esteemed family on this occa-
sion. In all that goes to make home
life ideal, the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Bear has been singularly blessed.
Surrounded by all the comforts and
pleasures of the modern home. they
have reared family of beautiful and
accomplished children, who have
gone out into the world endowed
with the sweetness of character and
disposition of their beloved mother
and the sturdy uprightness and bust
ness capacity of the father, ladies
and gentlemen of whom any parents
might well feel proud. The home
life of this excellent family has ever
been worthy of admiration and emu
lation, and the gathering about the
family circle on this occasion will be
a most happy event. 1t is the sincere
wish of everyone that the entire
family may be spared in health and
happiness for many years to come,
and that there may be many family
gatherings of a similar nature in
future years.

The Rock Island Evening Train.

Petitions are being circulated in
DEBORAH and other towns along the
line, to secure if possible the re-es-
tablishment of the evening and early
morning train between DEBORAH and
West Union, making the run be-
tween here and Cedar Rapids as for
merly. instead of stopping at West
Union. This was one of the most
convenient trains we have ever had,
and it is hoped that the movement
will be successful.

For years there has been talk of
building a drive about the city of
DEBORAH, extending along the crest
CT Pleasant Hill, up Broadway and
out on the top of the bluff above the
Dugway, on southwest across the
hilltop. down the HcgBack and past
Twin Springs, back around Pulpit
Rock hill and through West DEBORAH
and along the Schwarz hill past Dun
ning's Spring and SIMPSONS Pond
to the Ice Cave, and thence across
the Twin Bridges and back to the
city. Everyone recognizes that this
would make a drive which for beau
ty of scenery could scarcely, be
eQualled this side of the mountains.
This week petition has been cir
culated among the business men Of
the city, looking towards the estab-
lishment of road along the bluff
near the Ice Cave and past Cummings
Spring, which in itself would make a
delightful drive. 1t is hoped that
this may be completed this year, and
later on the remainder of the drive
established. The matter is to be
taken up with the proper officials
and the owners of the land, and 1t is
quite likely that it will be completed
according to the plans of those in
charge of it.

into new enterprises, and the tariff
tangle is q thing of the past, while
it really seems as though the second
session of the 61st Congress, en-
couraged by the attitude of the
Chief Executive, might undertake
some definite solution of that most
important of all our national issues,
the vexed banking and currency
question. We are becoming money
lenders abroad. The over-subscrip-
ton to the recent Cuban offering
augurs we'll for Americas interest
in this class of investments. Fl
nancial aid is being extended to
South American States, and not on
~ are we likely to participate in the
Chinese loan, but our whole Dip
lomatic policy in the East is in the
direction of securing a larger share
of the trade of the Orient.
These are a few shadows in this
brilliant picture which should not
be overlooked and warrant a word
of caution. For some time we have
had the stimulus Of hal upward
impetus which always follows Sc
we're crises. Now we are losing the
effect of that exhilarating force and
have begun to feel the drag of the
ascent. It remains to be seen if, in
the face of slowly but surely ad-
vancing fall money rates, we can
go forward unchecked. New York
bank reserves are $342, 122, 100,
barely above the minimum amount
required. Foreign exchange is for
the time against US, and already,
even prior to crop moving require
ments, we are heavy borrowers
abroad. By reason of the brighter
agricultural outlook in Eur ope our
exports of food stuffs are not likely
to rectify u present adverse bal
ance of trade. This, however, is
but temporary, and in the long run
undoubtedly there will prove to be
much force in the quotation from
the London Statist, which, if really
indicating the European attitude,
presages a golden future for foreign
investment in securities of corpora
tions of the United States.-From

tees it to cure you or money back. Read
this:
II have been a great sufferer for Il
years, everything 1 ate gave me heart
burn. l have never been able to get
anything that would give me any relief
until a friend of mine insisted on my
taking Mi-o-na. 1 took a 5O-cent box
and 1 believe 1 am entirely we]l."-F.
M. Bryant, Newman, Ga, June 9Th.
Mi-o-na is not a nostrum; it is the
prescription of a celebrated physician
who is a specialist in stomach diseases.
One clever woman calls Mi-o-na the
Sunshine Prescription, because it
changed her from a miserable nervous
dyspeptic into a bright, healthy, happy
woman in a few weeks.
These little Mi-o-na tablets are sure
ly wonder workers. They absolutely
cure Indigestion whether acute or
chronic.
They stop belching, gas ia stomach,
and heaviness, in a few minutes. Dis
tress after eating vanishes as if by
magic when n or two little Mi-o-na
tablets are swallowed.
