by the DEBORAH Merchants Band, as
sisted by Luren and other well known
talent. The band has made no.

Mr.. j. o. Groves, and rendered sey-
eral difficult and pleasing selections
in a manner which reflected much
praise upon the organization. The
singing of Luren is always received.
with acclaim and they did them
selves proud last night, while Mr.
Len Larson as soloist added much
to the enjoyment of the evening with
his beautiful rendition of las Long

Running his farm by electricity,
turning the wheels of his machinery
and lighting the buildings, farm

venience, Frank Drew of Glenwood
township has joined the nabob class.
1t is not often that one can drive
up to farm at night and find every
building and even the yard a blaze
of light from electricity, and the
tanning mill, cream separator, corn
shelter and other machinery turned
by electic motors; but such is the
case here.
Ever since the power dam was
completed, Mr.. Drew has been con-
templating this improvement, for he
is fortunate enough to be right on
the line between the dam and Wau-
kon and last week A. Nj. Sherry went
down and wired his house, barn,
cream house, and even the yard for
electric lights. A two horse power
motor furnishes him an abundance
of power for all purposes, and in
consequence life on the farm is lone
grand, sweet song" With all these
pleasures about him Frank had bet

Anyway, he can sit back and laugh
at the fellows who protested so We

1t will be good news to the many

county to learn that Parnell Shea
will this week open a law office in
DEBORAH, occupying rooms in the Citi-

has had splendid preparation for his
work as attorney. After graduating
from the DEBORAH high school he
studied with his father, the late Dan
Shea, for some years, and then at
tended the Iowa state university,
graduating last spring with degree
of Ii. B. There is every probability
that he will speedily assume place
among the leading attorneys of the

Green presented an etching of Gen.
U. s. Grant to the high school. Ac-
cording to announcement in our
notes Of last week, the doctor gave
an interesting talk upon the life of

incidents of a personal character,
bearing upon the life of this noted
man. Tenacity, pertinacity and bull
dog grit were the distinguishing ele-
ments in the generals life as an
officer.
DR.. Daubney gave the talk Monday
morning. After referring to his boy
hood days in school, he gave a brief
history of the introduction and evo-
luton of the system of writing and
printing as we find it in the hero
glyphics of antiquity. knowledge
is power when rightly used" he
said. 1T matters not what kind of
a home you come from, whether rich
or poor; or the college you attend
or the school; but the test is how
you have equipped yourself for active
duties of life Boys and girls
should be taught to prepare them
selves to assume responsibilities.
The assumption of responsibility
leads to honesty or dishonesty.

it a part of his work to address COL
leges, universities and clubs making
a special study Of the drama. He
is doing more, perhaps, than any
other individual in this country to

production by the good high classed
performance. Special rates have been
made the students, and the lecture
will be given free, and after the stu

Lost in the Wilds of Winneshiel

Martin Christophersou has been 1t
work for several days on job OF
plastering at the power dam down
the river One day last week he rode
down as far as Frank Drews, south
CT the dam, with A. NJ. Sherry, and
then started to walk to the dam, a
mile or so distant. This was about
six o'clock in the evening, and he
thought he could make it all right,
but he got lost, and about midnight
was discovered long ways from the
dam, wandering about, seeing visions
Of wild animals, ghosts and other
things, but finally was put on the
right track and found the dam. In
this vicinity is about the widest
country in Iowa, and scarcely anyone
who is a stranger to the country
would care to get lost there in the
night.
