mstaIIs Automatic Shoe Sinner.

One day last week C. L. Culver in
stalled in his billiard hall and lunch
room one of the new patent auto
matte shoe shining machines which
we noted last week were being plac-
ed in this state by West Union part
les. The machine is decided novel
ty, and bids fair to become very pop
ular. 1t is very attractive in appear
ance, and all that is necessary for a
person desiring his shoes shined, is
to drop a nickle in the slot, put his
foot on a pedestal, and away she
goes, brushes revolving on both SIDES
of his shoes. shining them up IN fine
shape. The machine is operated by
electricity, and promises to revolu-
tionize the shoe shining business.

GREAT LINE OF ATTRACTIONS.
After Months of Negotiations Kline
Shows May Come to Home
Coming.

When the Home Coming was first
settled upon, the men at the head
OF it made up their minds that De-
corah would have the greatest line
OF attractions ever seen in this part
Of the state. They at once began
negotiations with Chicago parties to
amusement pavilions, etc. of the
highest class, and finally decided that
they would make every effort to Sc
cure the Kline Shows, perhaps the
most famous and popular line of at
fractions now in the country. These
shows have appeared only in towns
of 10000 people and upward, and at
state fairs and the big public events.
But undaunted and determined not
to fail, they went after them. They
met with a fiat refusal. Kline's
Shows would not think of coming to
a town the size of DEBORAH under any
sort of a guarantee. No use of fur
Their attempts, they simply would not
come.
But ever since they have never
theless been after these shows. Fin
ally, to make the story short, tele-
gram and telephone was sent them
yesterday at Rock Island and the re-
suit is that man will be here today
to consider and probably settle the
matter. And we make the guess that
we get them.
The Kline Shows require street
by themselves, a frontage, we under
stand of 500 feet, and consist of
eight big separate and distinct shows
of high order of merit Ordinar-
lily this line OF shows constitute the
entire attraction for a week OF car
nival, etc. in big cities. We hope
they will come here, for we think
our visitors will be delighted with
them, and we think they will come

BASE BALL FOR HOME COMING.
AnsOn's Famous Colts and Callahan's
Logan Squares of Chicago to
Play During the Week.

We have an announcement to make
today with respect to the Home Com
ing which we know will be received
with delight all over northern Iowa.
1t is that this morning the deal was
closed for the engagement of the ia
nous Capt. Anson's Colts of Chi
all American ball players, for years
captain and first baseman of the Chi
cago Nationals, then known as the
White Stockings. Arson is an Iowa
man, hailing from Marshalltown, and
has been famous with Billy Sunday
and the other great ball players of
the country, as everybody knows.
The engagement of Callahan's ia
nous Logan Squares of Chicago has
also been closed today kilograms,
telephones and letters have been go
ing back and forth for two or three
weeks, in the effort to get these
teams and it is now assured that
both teams will be here.
Callahan was a pitcher for Arson
in the Chicago Nationals for some
years, and is also one of the great
est players of the country. The
teams they have been conducting for
years are composed of some of the
best players in the country, and are
guaranteed as good as the National
or American league teams. 1t will
be the greatest week of base ball, as
also all kinds of amusements, north
ern Iowa ever saw. 1t will cost a
barrel of money, but many of the
citizens of DEBORAH are subscribing
to the limit to provide this enter
tainment for people who will come.
About $1,000 will be spent for base
ball alone.
These two teams will play three
days. Other games are being arrang-
ed with some of the best teams in
this vicinity, so that there will be
plenty of base ball.
