THE RIGORS OF THE SUMMER
HOLIDAY.

People who go away for a summer
vacation to get rest will be sadly
disappointed. They submit them
selves to the tender mercies of a
hundred or two fellow sojourners
at great barns misnamed resort
hotels. When they would like to
snooze. the young people persist in
tearing the internal organs out of
the piano. When they wish restful
absorption in the sublimities Of sea
and mountain and river, the fringes
of society intrude with their tire
some twitter.
The people who own summer cot
tages and surround themselves with
their own friends may or may not
get rest, according to whether the
friendship is near enough, SO that
you can kick the etiquet book into
the garbage pail.
For the majority of us the cost of
living is such that a week or two at
some moderate priced hotel is all
we are entitled to in justice to our
creditors. However, the experience
is not wholly valueless to the philo-
sOpher, who may even find some
sweetness in the transient flower OF
summer friendship.

TRIED TO SHOOT WIFE
Nels Opheim of Highland Township
Attempts to Commit Murder.
SHOOTS son THROUGH HAT
Finally is OverpOwered by Son and
Mail Carrier, Revolver Taken
From Him, and Brought to
DecOrah and Arrested. I

NelS Opheim, a we'll known farm
er of Highland township, about fifty
years of age, has been bound over
to the grand jury on the serious
charge of assault with intent to
commit murder.
1t appears that Opheim had been
having trouble with his wife and
family for some little time, jealousy
being the principal cause Vt it. FRI
day morning he drove to Decorah,
his wife and son expecting to fol-
low him later and fix up some mat
ters with an attorney. He went to
Groff's hardware store and purchas--
ed revolver and started out home.
Meantime the wife and son, the lat
ter about % years Of age, started
for Decorah, and they met upon the
road. Here occurred a quarrel for
some moments. when Opheim, who
had beer bottle in his hand. at
tempted to strike his wife with it,
when the son interfered. Then OPP
helm went back to his buggy. pro-
cured the revolver which he had
bought in town, and fired three
shots, two of them at his wife. which
went wide of the mark, and the 9TH
er at the son. the bullet passing
through his hat, and his face being
marked with powder.
At this time Frank Panek, til,
rural mail carrier, Route Z. came
up, having heard the shots. He was
met by Mrs. Opheim, who told him
that her husband was trying to kill
her, and asked him to go and help
the boy. He drove to the place
where the quarrel took place, and
found that the son had his father
down, and assisted to take the re-
volver away from him.
Finally neighbors came to their
assistance, the sheriff was telephon-
ed for. and all started for Decorah.
Opheim was arrested by the sheriff.
charged with assault with intent to
commit murder, and placed in Jail.
He was given hearing before JUS
tice H. F. Barthell on the above
charge, and bound over to the
grand jury, bail being fixed at
5 900. which was furnished, and
he was given his liberty.
The matter will come before the
grand jury at the September term
of court. and if he is indicted, the
trial will probably speedily follow.

makes a reduction of two-tenths Of

Governor Carroll.
According to reports from all
banks in the state just compiled by
Auditor of State Bleakley, deposits
in all banks increased in Iowa $21.-
766,039.67 from May 1S, 1909 to
June 80, 1910. There has been a
striking decrease in overdrafts
since the last report to the banking
department. This decrease of over
drafts amounts to $674,839.90.
During the period Of this last report
there has been an increase of SO
banks in Iowa. Iowa's prosperity is
unquestioned.

England.

DecOrians will remember a num-
Der of years ago modest young
Bohemian came to Decorah from
Spillville and entered Decorah Insti-
tute under Prof j. Breckenridge;
that he at once showed remarkable
talent and industry, and it was not
long before Prof. Breckenridge be-
gan to predict successful educa-
tional career for him. After a year
or two he became teacher in the
Institute, graduated and taught
there for few years. He made
special research along botanical and
scientific lines, and wrote one of the
best among many papers on the Ice
Cave. which was readily accepted by
the scientific students of the world.
Then he went to Minneapolis and
entered the state university. Here
his progress was even more rapid.
He soon made place for himself,
was honored by his classmates, and
chosen an instructor in the uni
versity before he graduated as presi-
dent of his class. He remained
there as professor a year or two,
and then went abroad, to the great
Oxford University, England, to con-
tinue his studies.
We have received a COPY of the
Manchester (England) Guardian OF
July 18th, which gives the follow

A DEBT OF HONOR.

Many people subscribe to news
papers and other periodicals with
out any fixed intention of paying
for them. They would never de-
cline to pay a railroad fare, be-
cause they would be ashamed to be
put on the train. They would
never decline to pay for their seat
at the theatre, fearing to be humili-
ated before the audience. Yet they
feel that they can do precisely the
same thing with the newspaper pub
Usher.
One would think that such people
would hate to look in the glass and
see anyone capable of so mean an
evasion. 1t is fortunate on the
whole that the government has
adopted new rules requiring pub
fishers to take of their lists those

dead-beats used to get angry when
they were first called to account,
but finding that all newspapers are
In the same boat, they begin to
realize that the public mails are not
run for the convenience of people
who do not pay their debts. The
day when a man could get a news
paper free for about half a dozen
years, and then find some other pub
Usher willing to carry him that
length of time for nothing, is over.
