WOODWARD
Ignorant of CoastWise
Law Till He Came
Here.

CT am more convinced than ever
that the coastwise shipping law should
be suspended, at least temporarily, with
reference to the Hawaiian Islands, !"
said Representative woodward of West
Virginia yesterday.
Mr.. woodward had just finished read
ing of the family war between the
sons of the late Claus Spreckels, in the
Chronicle of September 5, wherein it
is alleged that the three American
built, American owned and American
tagged steamships, Sierra, Sonoma and
Ventura, of the Oceanic steamship
line, are being held idle in San Fran
cisco bay, that the bonds of the
Oceanic company may depreciate, SO
that John D. Spreckels may gain the
control at the minimum of cost. Mr..
woodward read the following items
from the Chronicle s account:
Gross Neglect Asserted.
1t is charged that through the gross
neglect of John D. Spreckels and 9th

valued at $2,771 ,000s-have been allow

Pearson Sells Notion Store.

Last Friday Messrs. Fremont S.
Gibson of Mason City, Mr.. Hogsdon
and b. H. Phinney of Fergus Falls,
Mimi, were in the city and closed
the deal for the purchase by the lat
ter of the l.. H. Pearson dry goods,
crockery and notion store in the
Mrs. liver Larsen building, formerly
owned and conducted by L. F. But
ton. Possession was given on Sat
urday, and temporary management
will be assumed by Mr.. Gibson, one
of the prominent men of Mason City.
There is coincidence in the fact
that some years ago Mr.. Button was
clerk in a store for Mr.. Gibson.
This is good stock of goods, in one
of the best store rooms in the city,
and we hope for the continued sue
cess of the new firm.
Mr.. Pearson has not definitely de-
cided upon future plans, and may
decide to remain in DEBORAH perma-
nently. Since coming here Mr.. and
Mrs. Pearson have made many
friends who hope they will remain
residents of this city.

Fine Wrestling Exhibition.

The small crowd that witnessed
the wrestling match at Rudolph's
hall on Thursday evening saw one of
the finest exhibitions of this popular
sport ever seen in DEBORAH. The
bout was between Harry Bucknell of
this city and Ralph Herdman of
Riceville, two very promising young
wrestling artists, who have been un-
der the special training of d. A. Nc
MILAN for some time past.
The match was one hour of wrest-
ling, during which Bucknell won
three falls and Herdman two. Herd
man won the first and third falls in
13 and IL minutes respectively, and
Bucknell the second, fourth and fifth
in nine, ten, and twelve minutes
Both of these men weigh 200 pounds
and are very evenly matched, hav-
ing had about the same experience.
They are perhaps the most evenly
matched men in the west.
Several lively preliminaries kept
the audience in good humor while
they awaited the main event.

Preparing for the Fourth.

The DEBORAH Fire Department
committees are busy these days clos
ing their preliminary arrangements
for the coming Fourth of July cele-
bration in DEBORAH. It's a big task
TO prepare for such a celebration as
will be given here, and arrangements
must be made weeks ahead. The
program is to begin with the boom
ing of cannon at surnise, and there
will be something doing from then
until midnight, every minute. The
address Of Gov Hook of Kansas, the
base ball game, the races and sports
of all kinds, and the general attrac-
tions, will keep everybody busy
Marsh's big hall, upstairs and down,
will be devoted to an immense dane
ing pavilion, on the finest floor in
northern Iowa. The days program
will conclude with a magnificent dis
play of fire works at night. Get
ready to come to DEBORAH for the
fourth. West Union is coming up,
and so are the other neighboring
towns.

the man who hired horse from
Will Rumble several months ago and
failed to return it, was arraigned
before Justice HI. F. Barthell and en-
tered plea of mot guilty." He

crossing the river near Elkader, and
that he had not been able as yet to
earn the money to pay for the same.

LUTHER WINS TWO MORE.
Takes Into Camp Charles City Col
lege and Upper Iowa University,
Winning Easily From Both.
l.. c. Is, C. G. o.

The base ball game at Luther Col
lege on Friday afternoon Ia. tween
the Luther College and Charles CITY
College teams was walk-a-way for
riority of Luther's playing was evil
dent. The Charles City boys are
nice fellows and play quite snappy
game, but they are not in the same
class with the L. c. team this year.
The score was 13 to O.. Only twice
during the game did Charles City
come near scoring, and each time
they were prevented by fast work on
the part of the home team. When
Luther came in to bat for the first
time, Storaasli stepped up to the
plate and damned out a home run,
and after that stuff was off. They
seemed to make the scores about as
fast as they wanted to. Nygaard
pitched for Luther until he sustained
a broken ankle in slinding to second,
and Hanson finished the game.
Both of them did good work.
L. c. II, U. 1. U. 4.
The ball game between Luther
College and Upper Iowa University
on Monday afternoon was but a
repetition of the defeats that the
local team has been administering
to everything they have been pitted
against during the season, and the
score at the end of the game was IL
to 1. Naeseth pitched for L. c. and
Heiny for U. /. U. BY fast work at
the outset U. l. U. bagged a score,
and it looked like the game would
be close, but Naeseth steadied down
to his regular gait, and goose-egged
them throughout the remainder of
the game. They have a good team,
but l.. C. is so strong this year that
they almost belong to the profession
al class. L. c. got two scores in the
second, three in the fifth, four in the
sixth and two in the eighth.
Two more games will be played
with the U. l. U. team this week, on
Friday and Saturday, at Fayette,
and with Naeseth out of the box it is
quite probable that they will be
close ones.

Only minor damage is reported.
The shocks were felt in a minor
degree throughout this section. At
Fort Atkinson they were quite
noticeable. In fact throughout all

shook so that the people became
frightened.

A SPLENDID CONCERT.
DEBORAH Choral Union Sustains Well
Known Reputation for Pleasing
Entertainments. Large Au-
dience is Delighted.

The DEBORAH Choral Union scored
it's sixth consecutive success in a
splendid mixed concert at the Grand
last evening, before an audience
which packed the house. Instead of
adhering to it's established custom
of presenting an oratorio it was de-
cided to try the experiment of giving
mixed program of popular though
high class numbers, and the plan was
wise one, as was indicated by the
large attendance and the hearty ap-
plause accorded each number.
The program opened with "The
Flag" by over 100 children, dressed
in red, white and blue, and placed
so as to represent the Stars and
Stripes. Under the direction of Miss
Ella Treat they sang number of
national airs splendidly.
The Symphony orchestra of thirty
pieces then rendered Homestead
Melodies" in a charming manner, the
various instruments blending in
perfect harmony, and executing the
beautiful selection with grace and
precision under the mastery direc-
ton of Prof. Carlo A. Sperati.
This was followed by the Bridal
Chorus from 1.-THE Rose Maiden"
by the Choral Union of 100 voices.
So much has been said of the &C
complishment of Prof. Sperati with
these local unframed voices that we
can add but little. 1t is certainly
marvellous that such harmony and
expression can be attained. In all
the choruses Of the evening, the
same excellence was noted, the har-
monious blending of hundred
voices thrilling the audience with
delight each time they appeared.
The Canoe Quartette, Messrs. VOL
Ian, Grindeland, Mevig and Fritz
was one of the hits of the evening.
Their voices blended splendidly,
and their selections were comic and
catchy, so that they were compelled
to respond to repeated encores.
Mrs. Tillie c. Neutrality-suspicious.
was never heard to better advantage
in DEBORAH. Her beautiful and ac-
complished rendition of go Not,
Happy Day" was received with en-
thusiasm and she replied to the en-
core with another charming selec-
ton. Her clear sweet voice and her
pleasing stage appearance made her
contribution to the program one of
the most acceptable of the evening.
Additional numbers by the chorus,
orchestra and quartette were of the
same high order of merit as those
mentioned. and altogether it was one
of the most pleasing musical enter
tainmentS ever held in DEBORAH.

A Painful Accident.

Albert Stevenson and Theodore
Buer were coming to town on Thurs
day evening, and when crossing the
factory, the outgoing train freight
ened their horse. Stevenson jump
ed out and tried to hold the horse,
but he reared and struck him in the
head with his hard shoe, knocking
him down and dislocating his
shoulder bone. DR.. Stabo attended
to the wounds and since then he has
been getting along nicely.
