These various functions fit into and

their diversity is sometimes pointed
to as throwing too much responsible

ables the bank to carry out its duties
with extraordinary ease and with the

ABDUL HAMID Is
An UNHAPPY Man

Berlin, Sept. 1.-THE unhappiest
man on earth is said to be Abdul
Hamid, the deposed sultan of Turkey
A remarkable account of his miserable
existence, which has been received
from an authentic scource at Salonica,
is published by the Lokal Anzeigar Of
this city, from which the following ex-
tracts are taken:
The former despot of Turkey is
shivering for his Observation-Disclosures
shivering with fear for his life. He is
in hourly dread Of assassination by
his enemies. Since he was sent into
exile, nearly eightesn months ago, he
has never shown himself at any Of the
windows of the villa. He dare not, for
he is convinced that he would be shot
by one of his foes if he were seen.
Neither advice nor entreaties, nor
even stringent medical orders, will in
duce him to leave the house and take
exercise in the garden.
Not only does he remain stubborn
ly in doors, but nothing will make
him leave the first floor Of the villa.
He fears to trust himself at the
ground floor lest bombs should be con-
cealed in the cellars beneath. He will
not go up to the second floor, for he
thinks, the villa might be set on fire
and he would perish before he could
escape.
Suffers from Insomnia.
A victim of insomnia, he never un-
dresses, but his thin, bowed figure is
seen wandering during the night from
room to room until finally Abdul
Haid falls exhausted and slum-
bers fitfully on couch. He
works as carpepenter during
the day, and recently he finished
making a large wardrobe. Strangely
enough, his one desire is to find a pur-
chaser for it. 1t is not that he needs
the money, but he longs to convince
himself that the work of his hands is
of monetary value.
He begs his warders for leave to

new AUGUSTA GETS
MUCH new COTTON

New Augusta, Miss, Sept. 7.-Sev-
eral bales of cotton have come to Ruff
fin & Co.'S gin, and the price here is
usually about fourteen and half
cents. But the boil weevil is here in
earnest and will have a decided in
fiuence on the crop planting next
spring, as the farmers already declare
themselves afraid to try cotton next
season.
James Pearce living about five miles
south of town raised this year enc
hundred and forty and fve-eights
bushels of corn on a single acre. His
estimate was carefully made, as he
took barrel of the corn and shelled
it, and it yielded 20 pounds of shelled
corn to the barrel, so, making one
hundred and twelve and a half bar
rels on an acre gives the total yield
mentioned.

eminent fears that within the wood
work there may be concealed some
undesirable communication to his
friends.
Abdul Hamid knows nothing of the
outside world. Neither he nor the two
wives and the servants who followed
him into captivity are allowed to read
any newspaper.
Anxious for News.
Once his keen desire to learn what
was happening led him to attempt to
bride one of his warders, to whom he
offered fb100 for the latest newspap-
efs. He clamors for details of the
revolution which ended his reign.
Sometimes he sits hour after hour,
deep in melancholy meditation.
Recently when the officers on duty
congratulated him on his birthday,
Abdul Hamid wept and said, 81 was
once great sultan, and therefore
you can only mock me when you con-
graduate me in my humiliation"
Abdul Hamid is intensely lonely.
Abdul Rachim, the only son who fol.
lowed him into capativity, has desert.
ed him, declaring that his father was
so petulant and nervous that no one
could endure life in his vicinity. Bur.
banned Din, his favorite son, to
whom he desired to leave his crown
has repudiated his father, accusing
him of having caused the death of his
mother because Abdul Hamid refused
to summon a competent medical man
to attend her in her illness.

"SHOP EARLY" IN STYLE.
Merchants are Preparing for the An
nual Holiday Rush and Expect
a Big Business.

Come early and avoid the Christ
mas rush." is the usual slogan of
the merchants of DEBORAH. Prepa-
rations for handling the enormous
business which is prevalent around
Christmas time are being made.
Nearly all of the stores have their
holiday stock now on display Great
shipments have been arriving for
the last three weeks and will con-
tinue to come until after the Holt
days.
1t is the prediction of the mer-
chants that the Christmas trade this
year will be greater than ever, and
they have filled their stores to over
flowing. All the merchants say they
are ready for the heavy influx of the
holiday trade. The favorable wealth
er the last, three weeks has proved
beneficial to the stores, and it is al
ready noticeable that the Christmas
buying has begun. Toys and gifts
are rapidly leaving the stores in the
hands of the purchasers and the mid
winter stock is being placed on the
counters and shelves.
BY buying their stock earlier in
the season than usual, the merchants
are hoping to obliterate the usual
rush that accompanies the two
weeks before Christmas. They hope
to give their patrons the opportunity
to purchase early, if they wish, and
an advantage in the choice of their
presents earlier than the last hour
buyer.
Many new lines of merchandise
will be placed on sale this year for
the accommodation of the holiday
traders. New decorations are being
received daily by the merchants and
the stores take on a Christmas APP
pearance already. Several of the
larger stores announce that Santa
Claus will appear in their windows
early this season as a contract has
been signed with him whereby he
will give Decorah prevalence over
the other cities of the United States.
The general depression of trade
during the summer months has dis
appeared, say the merchants, with
the advent of the cooler weather,
and they are now getting ready to
provide proper facilities and fully
accommodate the heavy holiday
trade.

New Mexico's Constitution.

New Mexico has adopted the east
ern model for her constitution, a
document of 13 sections and 10000
words just completed at Santa Fe.
The Oklahoma frills are omitted. 1t
takes care of the rights of 135, 1000
Spanish-Americans who feared they
would be made the victims of dis
elimination because the federal en-
abling act provides that all public
officers must speak English. 1t pro-
vides for an elective corporation
commission, having no judicial pow
ers, but having the right to regulate
rates of transportation and trans
mission, to grant charters and to SUI
pervise corporations. An automatic
arrangement INN ediateiy takes the
decisions of the commission to the
state supreme court, which must
pass on them without delay.
The initiative was rejected. but a
referendum clause was included. 1t
enables % per cent of the voters, on
petition. to suspend law within 80
days of legislative session, and 10
per cent of the voters, on petition, to
submit a law passed by the last
legislature to popular vote at the
next election, while a majority OF
the legislature may submit TO the
people constitutional amendments.
The constitution raises a bound
airy dispute with Texas and with
Colorado; it provides for an elective
judiciary from top to bottom. and
for elective state officers. 1t limits
the tax rate TO twelve mills the
first two years and ten mills after
that. 1t grants to women the right
TO vote at school elections and
makes them eligible to be school di.
rectors and county school superin-
tendents.
The constitution also abolishes the
fee system. 1t prohibits separate
schools for Anglo-SaXons and Span
ish-Americans and provides for the
payment by the state of the railroad
bond Indebtedness of a million dol.
lars through the sale of a million
acres OF land granted by congress.

MULCT PETITION FILED
Petition For Saloons i'm Winneshiek
County on File With
Auditor.
CONTAINS ABOUT II PER CENT.
Signatures of Voters Taken Upon
Election Day and Since That
Time Now in Hands of
Auditor.

The mulct saloon petition for
Winneshiek county, designed to per-
NIT saloons to operate in the towns
of the county for the next five years
was filed with the county auditor
on Monday. The petition, 1t is said
contains the signatures of S425
voters and as there were 1892. voters
who voted at the recent election in
this county, the petition would con-
tain the signatures of about II per
cent of the voters.
An effort has. been made to secure
a withdrawal of as many as possible
of those who signed the petition by
the anti-saloon forces, with what
success remains to be seen as the
matter proceeds. In order to de-
feat the petition, as we understand
it, it will be necessary to secure
the withdrawal of about $50 names.
All petitions now in existence ex-
pire July II, 1911. In towns and
cities under 5000 population, the
petition of consent must receive 65
per cent of the total vote cast at
the election on Nov. Sth. Only
thirty dJys is given in which to
secure these signatures, and the one
who secures them must swear as to
their genuineness. After filing the
auditor gives ten days notice of the
canvass of the petition by the board
of. supervisors. The notice appears
in this paper, and the date set is
Dec. 18th. Should the board of
supervisors find the petition ample
and correct, they will render
finding TO that effect. Previous to
such action, signatures may be
withdrawn by signers upon written
notice and request. After the find
ing. by the board, thirty days are
allowed for the filing of protests.

THE COMING OF WINTER.

Few older people see winter come
without regret. Decadence of vege-
tation, death of flowers and fruits,
affects with melancholy all who are
sensitive to inanimate nature. The
farther one goes North, the more
there is of snow bound country and
of physical ills that make the sea-
son dreaded.
The death-like hush over the land
scape so often in November has
ominous suggestion of frost. The
browning earth creates an atmos-
phere very different from an April
landscape, when mating songs OF
birds and springing vegetation make
pulses stir.
But to the clear sighted there is
hope and consolation even in De-
cember If the leaves have fallen,
it but reveals the sturdy power of
the tree. If the fields ARE brown
from frost or white with snow. they
reflect light and set the air dancing
with sunshine.
+ Winter brings tonic, and if we
live as far as possible in the open
air, we avoid ills. that result from
self Imprisonment in stuffy homes
and offices and shops.
