A Riot of Ink.

Canon Nicholl used to tell how on one occasion he had visited the famous house of the Thrales in that suburb of London where Dr. Johnson was at homo. Johnson" said the canon in recalling his visit, "had occupied two rooms. and these were left as he last used them The sight was an eXtraor- dinary one, for ink was splashed all over the floor and even on the walls. It was one of the doctors habits to dip his pen in ink and then shake It."

DRAG THE ROADS NOW.
Get the King Drags Out After This
Rain and Put the Country Roads
i'm Good Condition.

Now is the opportune time fol
road building for the entire year
Right after this rain, before the
ground becomes dry, every road in
Winneshiek county should be drag
ged. The state law requires that
this be done, and the attorney gen.
eral has just notified all county at
torneys to see that the law is obey
ed. The roads are exceptionally
good this spring, and if gone over
thoroughly with the King drag or
any other similar implement soon
after this rain, they will be put in
condition so that they can be kept
in good shape all the year. OF
course, there are many places where
roads should be rebuilt completely,
but there is no place that dragging
will not materially help. Winnie
shiek county is way behind nearly
every other county in the state in
this matter, and if the roads are not
given better attention soon, the
law will be enforced as it is intended
tnat it shall be.
One of the principal causes of the
poor roads in this county, we be-
lieve, is from improper attention af-
ter new roads are built. In many
cases splendid roads have been con-
structed by the Board of Super
visors and other officials, and then
year after year nothing has been
done on them, until they became in
as bad condition or worse than be-
fore. "a stitch in time saves nine"
and we have frequently noticed
places where days work each year
would have kept roads in splendid
when they have been alb
solutely neglected The road from
DEBORAH to Freeport is a striking
example of this.

A SPLENDID CONCERT.
Luther College Musical Union De.
lights Large Audience With
Charming Program.

Although we have become ac-
customed to look for something sur
prising in excellence whenever Prof
Carlo A. Sperati and his force of
Luther College musicians appear in
public, yet no one was expecting
such a delightful musical treat as
they heard at the Grand opera house
Friday evening, in the annual con-
cert of the Luther College Musical
Union. The program was made up
of selections entirely new in De-
corah, and they were all rendered
with a measure of excellence whi,h
won the highest admiration and
commentator of the audience. The
selection from Massenet's "Herod-
las which depicts the scene of
Salome dancing before the king, the
woman of admirable character in
love with John the Baptist, was a
revelation to the audience in the
beauty, the expression and the har-
mony of the music which these
young musicians were able. to pro-
duce. Then the singing of the
chorus in ooh, Hail Us, Ye Free"
and Dans!' raabte Felen," de-
monstrated Prof. Sperati's ability to
teach vocal as we'll as instrumental
music, for the blending of the
voices and the ease with which they
followed his baton proved the &C
curacy of their training.
The closing number of the pro-
gram was without doubt the most
and one of the most
pleasing musical renditiens ever
heard in DEBORAH. 1t was a descrip-
ton of civil war times, and in addi-
ton to the musical description of a
battle there was a closing tableau
which almost brought the audience
to their feet 1t was a grand climax
to the delightful program OF the
evening, and added new laurels to
Prof. Sperati and his company of

THE HALEY COMET.
Comet With Tail Fifteen Million
Miles Long to Pass Between
Earth and Sun May 18th.

The attention of the scientific
world, and in fact, nearly all of the
people of the United States is now
turned to Halley's comet, which will
soon appear, and in fact can now be
seen in the eastern heavens with a
powerful telescope. There has been
much speculation as to whether
there is any cause for apprehension
by reason of it colliding with the
earth, and Flammarion, the French
astronomer, predicts dire disaster,
but it is generally agreed that there
will be no serious results from it.
Should it happen to strike the earth,
this old globe would burst and be
enveloped in molten flame, and be
cast off into the heavens as a burn
ing mass. The tail of the comet is
said to be 100000 miles long,
and the earth will pass through the
tail on May 18th. The earth and
the comet are now revolving about
the sun in opposite directions, and
are rapidly drawing together At
this date they are only 100000
miles apart. On the 18th of May
the comet will pass between us and
the sun, when We are liable to wit
ness some queer astronomical de-

Bury the croaker out in the wood
in beautiful hole in the ground,
where the woodpecker pecks and the
humble bee buns and the straddle
bug straddles around. He is no good
to the city push; too practical, stin-
gy and dead, but he wants the whole
earth and the stars that shine over
head. Then hustle him off to the
humble bee roost and bury him deep
In the ground; he's of no use here,
get him out of the way and make
room for the man that is sound.
