NEW INDUSTRY FOR WOMEN.

A woman's hand and a woman's s
brain did the unusual, when Miss
Lisle Dunning, well known in local
musical circles, brought to compile

point of musician and craftsman.
the work of her own hands, capable
of standing the test of concert play
ing and the quiet hours in the studio,
and combining those features of yio-
lin construction portrayed by those
two old masters of the craft, Guarn-
erius and Stradivarius.
For year Miss Dunning worked
ON her first effort before success
came, spending long days and nights
in modelling the long, sweeping lines
of the body, chiseling the artistic
scroll and shaping curves upon whose
serpent angles depended thorough
ness of tone quality and vibration
says the Spokane Spokesman Review.
After the first attempt became a per-
feet playing instrument, infatuated
with the tedious work, she made an
other, later presented to her first
music teacher, Lucille DuPre, of Dem

into a field heretofore occupied alone
by man. The eye and ear must tell
you everything. Most any man ac-
quainted with panes and chisels and
glue pot could make something
that looked like a violin, but the Sc
cret lies in framing the body so that
the tones are vibrated without rasp-
ing or harshness. The liberal use of
glue, or too deep incision of
chiseled line will spoil all your work
1t is this care and carefullness for
details that counts and causes worry

ANTI-oPIUM' CAMPAIGN.

Thre appears to be abundant room
for encouragement in the Chinese
anti-OpiUm campaign. to the promo
tion of which year ago, under the
lead Of the United States, the pow
ers Of the world devoted an inter-
national congress at Shanghai. Re
ports are by no means complete,
and the lack of an efficient general
government causes much diversity
Of action and results in the different
provinces of the Empire but it is
certain that marked progress is be-
Ing made In the suppression of the
drug habit and in the cultivation OF
poppies for the manufacture of
opium. In Peking itself it is ssti-
mated that among the people three
tenths have given up opium smok-
ing and among the officials eight
tenths have done so. Most encour-
aging of all is the assurance that
popular sentiment is heartily sus-
tanning the government in this cam
paign and Is making it increasingly
disreputable for men to indulge in
the vice.

HOTEL TO BE IMPROVED.
DecOrah's Beautiful HOstelry Re.
leased to MIR. N. Il. Bailey for ].
Five Years, and Improve
ments Provided For.

The directors of the Winneshiek
Hotel Company held meeting on
Saturday morning, at which it was
voted to release the Winneshiek
Hotel to it's present lessee, Mr., N. l..
Bailey, for term offfive years from
the expiration of his present lease,
April 1st, under terms mutually sa-
tisfactory to him and the company.
One of the most important actions
of the meeting was the arrangement
by which the rooms in the hotel not
now provided with hot and cold run
ming water, will be so equipped.
When the hotel was erected, those
in charge were very desirous that
running water should be placed in
every room. but in order to do this
at that time, it would have been
necessary to very materially modify
the plans, so that the beauty and
convenience of the building would
have been effected, and rather than
slight the structure. in other ways,
it was decided to wait until this
could be done properly. In every
other respect, the hotel has been the
peer of anything within good many
miles, and in fact superior to any
thing in the northwest in cities of
this size. This added Improvement
will add much to its comfort and
convenience, and in fact, is regarded
as necessity at this time.
Financially. the hotel, owned by
the business men, has made a salts
factory record. Between $1,000
and $4,000 has been paid on the
Indebtedness, and important and ex-
tensive improvements and additions
made from time to time. 1t is now
in first class condition in every
respect, in fact, resembles from
cellar to garret a brand new hotel.
Everybody in Decorak will be
pleased to learn that Mr.. and Mrs.
Bailey and their. excellent family
are to remain here. Since coming
to Decorah five years ago they have
assumed a prominent position in
the business and social circles of the
city, and have made many close
friendships. Their conduct of. the
hotel business has been exemplary
In every way. They have conducted
such a hotel as any city good many
times the size of Decorah might well
be proud of, and everywhere you go
you hear about Decorah and it's
magnificent hotel.

Sues for Election Bet.

A good deal of interest centers in
case which will come up at tle
coming term of the district court
at Mason City, in which F.. S. Gibson
of this place, manager of the Big
Notion Store, is plaintiff and num-
ber of prominent business men de-,
PENDANTS, which is an action to re-
cover $1,000 in the nature of an
election bet. A number of PROM
inent men have been summoned as
witnesses in the action.
The bet was made during the
Allison-Cummings campaign on the
issue of the Cummins' partisans
placing $1,000 in the First National
Bank and sending out the challenge
for takers. The whole amount was
covered by F. s. Gibson. Shortly
after the campaign had been de-
cided and he had won, he began to
look for his money and after some
quibbling succeeded in getting q
written order from one of the party
to the bet on the bank for the
money, but was refused the cash.
Whether the case will be allowed
to come to trial by the principals
is a matter of considerable specula-
tion, but at any rate Mr.. Gibson in
timates that settlement must be
forthcoming.

capable to look after every detail
of the business. and our patrons
may be assured the same careful
and prompt service that has always
