Why, only a small piece OF linen-a
heavy quality of white-a little mer-

more. Now. our old embroiderers are

We are pleased to present to our
Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Seegmiller, two
well known pioneers of Winnesheik
county, who celebrated their golden
wedding anniversary last Thursday,
an event that so few couples are
privileged to enjoy. About rs rela-
tives and friends assembled at the
hospitable home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Seegmiller on West Main street, to
assist them in celebrating this i'm
portant event in their journey of
life down the pathway towards life s
ideal sunset.
At one o'clock the guests sat
down to a bountiful wedding dim

with all the good things imaginable,
and proved that Mr.. and Mrs. Seeg-
miller knew perfectly how to pre-
pare most tempting repast. After
the dinner was over the afternoon
was spent in congratulating the
bride and groom of fifty years ago,
and many "reminiscences of bygone
days were recalled. A number of
beautiful remembrances of the oc-
casion were presented to them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Seegmiller were
married in Hamburg, Canada in
1860. In that same year Mr.. Seeg-
miller came to Winneshiek county
and purchased the Andrew Foss
farm near Locust, and removed from
Canada the following year and set
tied upon it. In 1868 he purchased
the Clarence Blackmore farm, which
is the old homestead now occupied
by several of his sons. A family
of fourteen children were born t.

twin baby boys were born that
day to Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. o. Preus
at ST. Paul. But closely following
this, came the intelligence that the
mother was very ill. Mr.. Haugen
and Mrs, Preus went to st. Paul
Thursday. For several days Mrs
Preus' life was despaired of, but
with the excellent medical attend
ance she received at the hospital
coupled with her always cheerful
disposition and strong will power
she was safely brought trough the
crisis. Monday the physicians in
formed Mr.. Haugen that Mrs. Preus
was out of danger and he returned
home that evening, with the good
news that was so anxiously awaited
by DEBORAH friends.

THE JOHNSON CASE.
The Attorneys For the State Have
Filed Their Accusations, and
Judge HObson Has Set Mon
day, Feb. 21st, as the
Day for Trial.

On Monday, Feb. eth, County At
torney Willett and Attorneys Sayre
and Houck, for the state, filed eight
accusations in the disbarment pro-
ceedings against Attorney E. p.
Johnson. Two additional accusa-
tions were filed on Feb. 18th. E..
w. Cutting, attorney for Mr. John
son, on Friday last filed an answer
to the disbarment proceedings.
Eight times he reiterates that John
son cannot be disbarred for claiming
money in his possession on which he
claims lien until a demand is made
and security proffered. In other
words, if Johnson gets hold of his
clients money, the client must put
Up a bond to get it. The claim is
also made several times that the &C
cusations named against him are not
enough to disbar him. In relation
to one of the accusations he claims
that the members of the Winneshiek
County bar knew about that in 1902,
and it is now too late to .ydisbar
Johnson on that charge. The, same
thing is claimed in another accusa-
ton.
Sixteen times Johnson pleads in
his answer that he is not guilty, or
denies the inference of wrong doing.
The case has been set for trial on
Monday afternoon, Feb. 81, at 200
O'Clock.

them, seven of whom are living, all
of whom were in attendance at the
anniversary. Mrs. Seegmiller also
had the pleasure of visit from her
brother, John Schwalm, of st. Joe,
Mo-, whom she had not seen in 81
years. In 1892 they retired from
labors on the farm and removed to
DEBORAH, where the home has since
been, and having accumulated a good
ly share of this worlds goods they
have had the privilege of enjoying
all the good things this life affords.
Their long life here among us has
been a clean and honorable one, and
consequently in their declining days
they enjoy the respect and esteem
of staunch friends on every hand.
We congratulate Mr. and Mrs.
Seegmiller on reaching this fiftieth
milestone of happily welded life,
and congratulate them also on the
fact that their love and respect for
each other during all these years
has made their life one of happiness
and sunshine. We congratulate
them also for having the love and
comfort of their children, for Il
shows that they have not failed in
their duty towards those whom God
entrusted in their care. They have
avoided the thorns and gathered the
roses, and life has seemed sweet tc
them. We hope that they may live
many years yet to enjoy the fruit:
of their labors here, and when final
ly the last page in the book of life
has been turned, they can look back
over the long term of years, and re
view well spent life that will merit
its reward on the other shore.
