LEWIS FISHER IN HOSPITAL :
FEAR COMPLICATIONS FROM
EXPOSURE.

Lewis Fisher of Eldon was found by
Special Officer Allen Of Burlington
about o'clock this morning lying on
the platform Of the Baker Egg house
on South College street, with his right
leg broken. The man was taken to
shelter and the police notified. Off
GERS Peterson and Maloney, who were
called, had the man removed to the
home of his sister, Mrs. Alice Logan,
over 212 East Main street. He was
later removed to the hospital and the
fracture was set. While the mans con-
dition is favorable, it is feared that
serious complications may set in, as
Fisher was exposed to the cold
weather for several hours.
Fisher was conscious when found,
and claimed that some one broke his
leg with chair at the Greasy
Spoon" restaurant in Smoky Row. The
police, however, discredit his story,
and believe that he broke his leg by
falling on a sidewalk while in an intox-
icated condition.
He was bareheaded and had no coat
when found, and was nearly frozen.
How long he was on the platform is
not known. The police declare he had
been drinking as the smell Of intoxi-
cants was noticeable when found.

RETURN FROM
EASTERN MARKET
WI j. DoNELAN AND j. F. LAMB
HOME AFTER PURCHASING
SPRING STOCKS.

w. ]. Donelan and J. F. Lamb, of
Donelan's dry goods emporium, have
returned from the eastern markets,
where they state that they encount-
where the stock for spring and sum
mer was purchased. Mr.. Lamb return
ed some few days ago, and Mr.. Don
elan is just fresh from the east,
cred the largest crowd of buyers they
have met in the past fifteen years Of
annual visits to the market. The bust
ness prospects are the best, says Mr..
Donelan, and the lines were never bet
ter. The great number Of buyers In
the east this time Of year, was I'M
usual, and he states that the hotels
while he was in New York, turned
away patrons at the rate of more than
hundred per day New York and
Philadelphia were among the cities
visited and on the return home stops
were made in Chicago and st. Louis.
Prices were found to have the upward
tendency and another increase in the
cotton prints and domestics is sched-
uled to take effect March s. This,
however, will not be felt by the pat
rons of Donelan's, as that establish
ment has provided this class Of stock
some months since, and the advance
will not be felt. While Mr.. Lamb was
in the east, the stocks of cloaks, suits
and ready-to-wear goods were pur-
chased. Upon the return of Mr. Lamb,
Mr.. Donelan visited the millinery,
silks and dress goods houses and also
bought his lines Of novelties, neck
wear, etc. Especially fine was the
line Of millinery purchased The pat
rons Of Donelan's will find upon the
opening of this department, the finest
array Of French pattern hats that has
ever been brought to the city. To &C.
commodate this department, the en-
tire second floor will be used for mil
linery and the carpets, curtains, drap-
cries, etc, that have shared the quar-
tiers with millinery, will be placed in
the third story, having the entire floor
This will double the capacity of both
departments.

Rev. John A. Brown of Batavia Tells
of the Beauties of the
Afe,A-r-


The following Interesting letter has
been received by the Courier from the
Rev. John A. Brown, Of Batavia, who
is visiting in Colorado with his family
in quest of better health for his son,
Dempsey e. Brown:
II am travelling in the west with my
family for the health Of my youngest
boy, Dempsey E., who was given up
to die with typhoid fever last fall at
Batavia, my home town. We made our
first stop at Fort Morgan, Colo, which
is nice town Of 5000 population, sit
uated in the northeastern part Of the
state of Colorado, in Morgan county
This is a beautiful valley along the
Platte river, some hundred miles In
length and fifty miles wide All they
need here Is irrigation. The soil is a
sandy loan. 1t grows alfalfa, sugar
beets, fine wheat, and corn to the
amount of thirty bushels per acre. 1t
is also good for potatoes and most all
kinds Of vegetables. The climate is
very mild in the winter. 1t seems
almost like the autumn in Iowa.
"The city Of Denver lies to the west
of here eighty miles You can see the
mountains from here. They are COW
cred with snow the year around. The
mountains are grand sight to an
Iowa man. The canyons are Just as
grand a sight with snow in them to the
depth Of 500 feet. AS I look at these
mountains, valleys and plains I think
