Gus towns and townships of the
county. All of the papers are sent
to Washington d. c. to be passed

TO BECOME SISTER OF MERCY.
Miss Bessie Powers of This City
Goes to Convent at Cedar
Rapids to Prepare for the
SisterhOOd.

Miss Bessie Powers, the beautiful
and talented daughter of Thomas
Powers of this city, has bid goodbye
to the outside world, and on last
Wednesday departed for Cedar Ra-
pids, where she will enter the
Sacred Heart Academy, the Mother
House of the Sisters of Mercy, and
prepare herself to become a member
of that order.
Miss Powers was born in Howard
county, but DEBORAH has been her
home since she was little girl, she
having made her home with her
uncle, Mr.. John Enright, since the
death of her mother, a number of
years ago. She was educated in the
Immaculate Conception Academy
in this city, and the environment
she has always been surrounded
with has made her life a pure and
christian one. The entering of the
sisterhood is thus the browning
point of her desire.
Another young Decorah lady will,
We understand, leave soon on the
same mission.

And be forever blest?
When shall / see my Fathers face,
And in His bosom rest?
Filled with delight, my raptured
Can here no longer stay;
Though Jordan's waves around me
roll,
Fearless I'd launch away.
1t is in this spirit that she went
forth, and we believe that her weary
soul, wearied by physical distress
for the past few days, is now bathed
in restfulness; for, ito be absent
from the body, is to be present with
the Lord" that Lord who has gone
before to prepare mansions, and
who has said that He will return
as He has returned to her-that He
may take us with Him.
And so, today, as We contemplate
this life which has been rounded
out in these nearly seventy-six
years; glancing backward over the
many and varied experiences, in the
quiet way, through which she has
gone, as we remember that longer
life would only have been continued
pain; whilst we come today to SYM
pathize with those whose loss is
great, greater than their tongues
can speak, yet we come to the place
Of cheer and of hope, for this is a
Christian burial that looks on and
up in the spirit of gladness.
Since my return to DEBORAH,
have often felt that somehow or
other, from time to time as l saw
her face, that she did not seem to be
quite the Mrs. Gibson that | could
remember in my boyish days, which
was very natural in view of the
passing years. 1t was yesterday that

went in and out Of the church. That
was the face of her young woman

of the future life, which | think, is
very cheering gathered up in the
phrase Eternal Youth" In that

DISARMAMENT PROCEEDINGS.
Judge HObson Issues Order Appoint
ing Committee of Attorneys to
File Accusation Against
Well Known Local
Attorney.

The most sensational action of the
present term of the district court of
Winneshiek county, and in fact the
first of it's kind since the establish
ment of this paper, was the filing of
an order by Judge Hobson on Fri
day, appointing the County Attor-
ney, N. Willett, and Messrs. Frank
Sayre and C. N. Houck, attorneys, a
committee to prepare and file charg-
es of misconduct as an attorney. and
immoral conduct in connection with
his practice as such attorney, against
Attorney E. P. Johnson, of this city.
The cause of this action by Judge
Hobson was the filing with him of
affidavits signed and sworn to by
Rev. Otto E. Schmidt, pastor of the
United Lutheran church of this city,
Miss Olivia Groebel of DEBORAH, and
Mrs. Hauke dahl of Calmar; the first
and second in relation to charges Of
misconduct as an attorney and i'm
moral conduct in his practice as an
attorney, in connection with Miss
Groebel as his client, and the third
with misconduct as attorney for Mrs.
Haukedahl.
While the affidavits filed present
surprising char"es, which if proven
will doubtless result in disbarment
of this attorney, We retain from en-
tering into details at this time, sim
ply appending the order in the mat
ter as issued by Judge Hobson, as
follows:

schoonmaker VS.. schoonmaker.

Last week Judge Hobson handed
down a six-page typewriter opinion
deciding the Shoemaker case in
favor of Newton Schoonmaker and
ordering the land petitioned. e. r.
Acres was attorney for Newton
Schoonmaker and brought the ac-
tion to have Newton Schoonmakers
interest in his mothers land set
aside. Nelson Shoemaker came
in with Attorney Hart of Waukon
and claimed all the land. Some
forty years ago Nelson Schoonmak-
er and his wife settled on an eighty
in Frankville township. She owned
one 40. She died in 1876 and the
husband continued to occupy the
land, paid the taxes and when New
ton Schoonmaker, one of her chill
dren, claimed his share the father
resisted it. 1t is said the case was
an interesting one and will in all
probability be appealed by Mr.. Hart.

'Dokie" Candidates Got Theirs,

There was certainly something
doing in Cottonwood last Satur-
day evening when the "Dokies"
came up from Lewiston to put
the local candidates for initiation
into that order through their
PAGES. About seventy-fve lodge
members were present from Lew
iston and neighboring points and
the stunts they did on the street
were, to say the least, something
fierce. Timorous tyros, who
came over from Ferdinand to
join the order, were taken in
hand on the train and after
reaching this place they, to-
gether with several local candi-
dates, were decked out in female
apparel of an unmentionable
character and then tied up to
telephone posts, town pumps and
other places to be gazed at by
the gaping and astounded popu-
lace. Some of the tyros hid out
and escaped this public humil-
iation but were evidently visited
heavily during the initiation to
make up for this timidity. The
initiation ceremonies were no
doubt rich and racy and those
who went in have little to say
about what they got but are
doubtless waiting their chance to
get even on the next bunch OF
innocents who cross the burning
sands.
After the initiation all present
adjourned to the Phoenix hoteI
where they enjoyed a sumptuous
banquet, by far the best ever
spread in this city and pronounc.
ed by some of the leading mem.
bers present to have been the
best conducted of any in then
experience, which is saying much
for Mr.. and Mrs. Housh and
their hOstelry.

Liquor Flows In Dry Town.

A Grangeville dispatch dated
May 29th says:
Two drunken brawls in the
business district last night and
an exaggerated case of intoxica-
tion on the streets today are some
of the evils the city of Grange
vile is suffering as result of
the dry" victory and County
Attorney ]. M. Gilmore, one of
the reform leaders, states that
he is unable to enforce the law.
Mr.. Gilmore says that he is in
readiness to prosecute the vio-
lators of the local option law as
soon as evidence is available to
him but up to the present time it
has been impossible to secure
necessary evidence with which
to secure a conviction.
The condition is regarded as
much worse than under the H.
censed saloon system as people
who now come into town secure
a bottle and consume the entire
quantity while formerly t h e y
were content to secure their liq-
uor by the drink and in modera-
ton. 1t is also said the liquor
now sold is of inferior quality
and has greater tendency to
craze the mind than produce in
toxication.
AS a result of the brawls last
night George Farm and Lennie
Williams have been placed under
arrest and other warrants have
been ssued.-Lewiston Tribune.
