Returns i'm October.

Census returns have been prom
ised about the middle of October,
which fact will be awaited with
much interest in local circles as well
as throughout the state and nation.
After the house to house canvass
was completed the immense task OF
compiling the records which were
taken at that time, has been in
progress. Out of the 1900 clerks
who find employment in the census
office, 800 are working on the popu-
lation figures alone, putting them
in shape to give out. In order to
avoid error, the figures are gone
over by different counters until &C
curacy is secured sometimes three
or four times. 1t is rather interest
ing to note that in all this great
nation there have been only two
cities where evidences of fraud have
been discovered. In giving out the
returns the larger cities will come
first, then the states and their re-
spective counties at the same time.

The AASE HAUGEN WILL.
Entire Property Bequeathed to
United Norwegian Lutheran
Church to Establish Home
For Aged People.

In our notice of the death and
burial of Miss Aase Haugen in the
last issue of this paper, we men
toned the fact that she had pro-
vided in her will for the establish
ment of home for aged people
giving her entire estate to the Unit
ed Lutheran church for that pur-
pose, having also during her life
time made substantial donations
and gifts to that church. Believing
that our readers will be interested
in reading the will, we print it in
full below:
Il, Aase G. Haugen, of the city
of DEBORAH in the state of Iowa, be-
ing of lawful age and sound mind,
do make, publish and declare my
last will and testament as follows,
hereby revoking all former wills by
me made.
First. | direct that my body be
inferred in the burial lot now own
ed by me in the Peter Haugen &C.
metery, near said City of DEBORAH !;
that my executors pay the expenses
of my funeral and that they erect
on my grave suitable monument.
the same to be of such design and
cost as to them may seem proper,
and l also direct that my executors
pay all my just debts, if any shall
have at the time of my death.
Second. Subject to the payment
of my aforesaid funeral expenses
and debts, / give, bequeath and de-
wise all property which l may own
at the time of my death, whether
real or personal, and wheresoever
situated, to the United Norwegian
Lutheran Church of America, a re-
ligious and charitable corporation
under the laws of the state of Min
nesota.
Third. While it is my intention
that the said United Norwegian
Lutheran Church of America is to
receive and hold all my said prop
erty in its own right and not in
trust for others, nor upon any con-
dition, yet if it should meet the ap-
prevail of the Board of Trustees of
said Norwegian Lutheran church l
should prefer to have said property
and the proceeds which said United
Norwegian Lutheran Church may
realize by the sale thereof. and the
rents, profits and income from said
property and proceeds, used by said
United Norwegian Lutheran Church
in establishing and maintaining a
Home for Aged People under the
name of THE Aase Haugen Home.
Should said United Norwegian
Lutheran Church, however, not find
this to be practical or desirable,
recommend to its Board of Trus-
tees, that said property, proceeds
rents. profits and income be devot-
ed and used for the following pur-
! poses:
One-fourth thereof for the main
tenance and support of the Orphan.
Home at BelOit, Iowa, of said Unit
ed Norwegian Lutheran Church
One-fourth Thereof for the mainten.
ance and support of the Deaconess
Home and Hospital at Chicago, Illi-
nois, of said United Norwegian
Lutheran Church; One fourth
thereof for the support of the
Home Mission and one-fourth there
of for the support of the Foreign
Mission of said United Norwegian
Lutheran Church.
Fourth. / nominate and appoint
Otto E. Schmidt and julius j. Hop
perstad of DEBORAH, Iowa, and
Erick Waldeland of Minneapolis
Minnesota, executors of this will"

OPENING OF THE Season.
1.-THE Cat and the Fiddle" Will De.
light Big Audience on Tuesday
Sept. 9th.

The opening attraction at the
Grand opera house Tuesday eve
ming, Sept. 9Th, will be the musical
extravaganza success, The Cat and
the Fiddle" which deals with ma
gic, sprites, gnomes, elfs, fairies,
and a story of the mythical Isle of
Eye. 1t is said to form combin-
alton that pleases the most fastidi-
Gus, and reminds one of THE Babes
in the Woods" Mother Goose" and
the present success of the century,
Little Memo"
1.-THE Cat and the Fiddle has
many weird and novel stage char
acters: The Good CENT and her
wonderful Gigantic Cat; Queen
Circe, the false queen, who with
Great Gobs rules over the destinies
of the mystic island, and the earth
beings who are spirited away to
Elfland; all are said to contain
many new ideas in the line of
musical comedy.
The plot leads to and permits of
score or more of pretty ballet
evolutions, some 20 musical num-
bers, and a bevy of pretty girls,
well selected and trained, while the
costuming is of new design, strik-
ingly handsome in many cases and
decidedly weird in others, in con-
formity with the locale of the
scenes.
The presenting company numbers
forty or more people. The cast
is headed by Mr.. Harry B. Watson,
favorite comedian and it is said
he has scored heavily everywhere
he has thus far been seen. He is
ably assisted by those clever artists,
Rose and Arthur Boylan, whose
grotesque and acrobatic dancing de-
lineations have made them famous,
not only in this country, but in Eu-
rope and Australia. Lawrence
Gotthard, an animal impersonator
of no mean ability. is the Cat. Geo.
E. Hart, Marty Martz, ]. o. Camp
bell, and Geo. E. Wakefield are all
among the principals. Seats on
sale at Brunt & Parman's.

Buyinp Winter Goods.

Mrs. Bertha Mott and son ]. w.
of Cresco have been in the eastern
markets during the past week pur-
chasing fall and winter dry goods
for the stores of Mott e Co. in De-
corah and Cresco. They stopped at
Cleveland, Ohio on the way for a
visit with Prof. Roy Mott, and from
there went to Philadelphia and New
York where they will spend about
three weeks selecting the fall and
winter stock of these stores. The
practice of getting into the first
markets and buying for cash has
given these stores the very best OPP
portunity in buying, which natur-
ally results in an advantage in sell
ing which their customers get the
benefit of.

The Fair at West Union.

The dates of the big Fayette
County fair this year are September
$3.50, and We are informed by
the management that it promises
this year to eclipse all former occa-
sions. The Fayette county fair has
come to be very strong attraction
to the people for many miles
around. They give a little better
entertainment each year, and have
not yet found it necessary to adj
vance the price of tickets. Any in
formation you may desire write the
secretary, E. A. McIlree, West

pair which caused him expense.
