STORE OPEN SATURDAY.
Hanson'S e. Co.'s Ladies' Garment
Establishment to Open This
Week.

Work has been progressing rapidly
upon the new store which we an
nounced a few weeks ago would be
opened by Hanson & Co. of Milwau-
kee, and the firm now announce that
they will be ready for business next
Saturday. The store is being neatly
and attractively arranged, and will
doubtless prove a popular place. The
stock will consist exclusively of
ladies garments, furnishings, millin-
cry, etc, and rest room for ladies
will be a convenient adjunct. Mr..
Hanson and family are now here, oc-
cupying the fat above the store, the
Reed building, nearly opposite this
office. They came here from La
Crosse, having formerly lived at For
est City. We wish the new firm
success.

contains a large cut of AL. Palzer
the now famous pugilist, seated in
an automobile together with Ed
Rossley, C. E. Mckinney, e. n
Mayer and F. NJ. Hughes, taken in

ASK PASTORS RETURN.
Successful Record of Rev. w. Nj
Lemen i'm Clearing Church of
Debt Brings Request.

1t is a matter Of much gratifica-
ton to the members of the Methodist
Episcopal church of this city, and
especially to the pastor, Rev. w. NJ.
Lemen, that for the first time in
sixty years the church is entirely free
from debt During his passionate a
special effort has been made to pay
off all outstanding Indebtedness, and
now the church is free of debt in
every way. His successful pastorate,
the many close friendships he has
made here, and his able sermons
have brought out a request for his
return to DEBORAH by the conference
which soon meets in Waterloo,
through the following resolution,
passed at a recent meeting of the
official board:
Resolved, that the Official Board
of the First Methodist church of De-
corah, Iowa, do hereby request the
return of Pastor w. Minor Lemen to
the foregoing charge for the ensuing
year.
When pastor Lemen took charge of
this church two years ago, there was
an Indebtedness of nearly eight hun
dred dollars, shortage of about $40
in the Sunday school fund and $40
in arrears of former pastors salary.
In view of the fact that the fore
going claims are now liquidated, the
church hereby extends to brother
Lemen it's warmest and most earnest
thanks in appreciation of his untir-
ing efforts in behalf of the organiza-
ton.
Be it further resolved that the
church has profited spiritually by
his able expounding of the scriptures
and its teachings; and, by his activity
both as preacher and pastor he has
succeeded in uniting and cementing
the church into a working christian
unit.

Stray Thoughts.

Pat got on the rear end of g
crowded street car and was obliged
| to steady himself against the door
! Move up" shouted the conductor
at every street, as more passengers
were taken on. Pat moved up a
step each time, but at the next stop
he got mad and he yelled back at
the conductor: 'Bedad, / paid to
ride. Do you expect me to walk all
the way ome?''-Woman's Home
Companion.
Selected The new teacher sur
veyed her wriggling, restless charges
with some dismay. But, true to her
oft-studied book of instructions as
to the best manner of implanting
knowledge in the young mind, she
began:
Now, children, what is it that a
cat is covered with? Is it fur? Is
it hair? Is it feathers? Is it wool?
Johnny Holloran, you may answer"
Johnny, seven, soiled and starved
looking, arising in state of mingled
contempt and perplexity, replied:
Say, honest, is youse kiddin or
amt youse never seen a cat?'
Exchange: 1t was ash day. Pat
and Mike were obliged to halt their
heavily loaded cart to make way for
funeral. Gazing at the procession,
Pat suddenly remarked: Mike, |

know the place where I'm goin' to

ANOTHER NEW TRAIN.
Commercial Club Secures Additional
Service Over Milwaukee
Railroad.

For nearly year the secretary of
the DEBORAH Commercial Club has
been making an effort to secure i'm
proved railway service for the city
of DEBORAH over the Milwaukee rail
road. At the same time the request
was made of the Rock Island for the
night and morning train, the Mil
waukee was asked to make the leay-
ing time later (ten o'clock in the
morning and (9:30) in the evening
These changes were readily made by
the company. A request was also
made for a new train to convey pas
sengers from DEBORAH to Calmar in
the afternoon to catch the trains go
ing east and west at 4:30 p. M, and
to bring over passengers bound for
DEBORAH coming to Calmar on these
trains. This has been a difficult mat
ter to bring about, and has taken
some months to get all arrangements
made, but the following telegram,
received on Saturday, is self-eXplana-
tory:
Chicago, Ill.
H. J. Green, DEBORAH, Iowa.
Schedule for trains making connec-
tons with trains 80 and 33 l. and d.
division at Calmar, will go into effect
Sunday, Sept. II.
The time card giving the exact
time of arrival and departure has
not yet arrived, but we presume that
the new train will leave here about
3:45 p. M, connecting at Calmar at
4:3O, and returning arrive here
about 5:15.
This will give DEBORAH about all
that could be reasonably asked in
the way of passenger service, con-
Meeting with all trains both over the
Rock Island and Milwaukee. People
wishing to come to DEBORAH or to
leave here can now get as good con-
nection as anywhere, a matter, in
our opinion, of uppermost interest
to all our people.

A Famous Enclish Clock.

Wells cathedral contains one of the
most interesting clocks in the whole
world. 1t was constructed by Peter
LightfoOt, a monk, in 1920 and en-
braces many devices which testify to
the ancient horologist's ingenuity.
Several celestial and terrestrial bodies
are incorporated in the interesting
movement and relationship. They in
dicate the hours of the day, the age
of the moon and the position Of the
planets and the tides. When the clock
strikes the hour two companies of
horsemen fully armed dash out OF
gateways in opposite directions and
charge vigorously. They strike with
their lances as they pass as many
times as correspond with the number
Of the hour. 4 little distance away,
