BUYS OUT PARTNER.
i. w. Brunt Retires From Popular
Drug Firm to Devote Attention
to Other Interests.

The announcement on Monday of
the dissolution of the partnership of
Brunt & Parman, druggists and
jewelers., was surprise to nearly
everyone, but as a matter of fact it
has been contemplated for some
time by these gentlemen. The rap
i'd growth of The American Drug
and Press Association, concern or
ganized and being developed by De-
'corah business men, and other bust
ness interests that demand a con-
siderable portion of his time, in
duced Mr.. Brunt to relinquish his
interest in the drug store. While
regretting deeply his retirement
from the firm, Mr.. Parman has pur-
chased his partners interest in the
drug and jewelry business, and will
continue the same in his name. The
partnership which has existed be-
tween these two gentlemen for near
ly eighteen years in DEBORAH has
been very satisfactory and agree
able one in every way, and they
will continue to be Jointly interested
and associated in other business en-
terprises. Mr.. Elmer Parman has
come up from McGregor to assist
his brother in the business, fact
which will be learned with pleasure
by his many old friends in DEBORAH.
The firm of Brunt & Parman has
been one of the leading business in
stitutions of DEBORAH. Some eigh-
teen years ago two young gentlemen
came here, strangers from the phar-
macy college, and have gradually
built up a large and comprehensive
business. A few years ago they add
ed a complete stock of jewelry,
which department has also been very
successful. They built their own
building, and have in every way
been conservative, successful bust
ness men.
In continuing the drug and jewel
ry business, Mr. Parman will retain
the, same confidence and personal
esteem that he has enjoyed through
out the years past, and the business
will doubtless continue to grow and
expand. In whatever field of activ-
ity Mr.. Brunt may be found he too
will enjoy the best wishes of large
friendship.

GAS THIS WEEK.
Plant Is Now Complete and Service
Will be Inaugurated Be-
fore Sunday.

1t will be good news to the pros
pective patrons of the DEBORAH Gas
Company to learn that before Sun
day the company will be furnishing
gas to all who are connected with
the mains, which already number
over one hundred. Yesterday Mr..
w. w. Sanders, the manager, was
notified by the construction COM
pany that the plant was ready for
the making of gas. A day or two
will be spent in getting everything
in shape for giving the service, get
ting the air, etc, out of the pipes,
and trying out the machinery, and
we are assured that by Saturday
evening at the outside the new arc
gas light in front of the city office
of the gas company will be burning.
Our people will heartily welcome
this service. For several years they
have wanted gas for cooking and
heating, and now that the plant has
been installed, it will doubtless be
literally patronized.

New Millinery store.

Mrs. #. w. Daubney will open a
new millinery store in the Daubney
building on Water street, early next
month. The store building is at
present occupied by Miss Ruen, with
a stock of millinery she purchased
last fall and which she has been
closing out at cost. On the first of
March Miss Ruen will remove the
remainder of her stock, if any is
left, to permit the installing of the
new line. Mrs. Daubney goes to
Chicago tomorrow night, where with
her trimmer, she will select a COM
plete line of the seasons latest
creations in millinery. The new
store will without doubt enjoy a
liberal patronage.

NEW ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT.
Increase of 1000 Horse Power at
the Dam and 40 Horse Pow
err at WaukOn.

There hasn't been much ado made
about it, but the Upper Iowa Power
Company are busily at work making
| Improvements at their power dam
at Lake Oneota and their power
house at Waukon which in effect are
as important as the building of the
dam was.
At the power dam a force of men
have been at work for some time in
stalling a new $50 horse power
Lefell water wheel, of the latest
type, which is more than twice as
efficient and economical in the use
of water as the old 900 horse power
wheel installed when the dam was
built. The new wheel is set on the
base beside the other, which was
left vacant when the dam was built,
to provide for future requirements,
and it will, with great deal less
water, furnish much more power.
1t is double wheel, so that half of
it may be used when the load is
light, or all when needed. When
the water is low, like it has been
this fall, it may be operated so as to
save the water very materially. Both
wheels operating at the same time
will give them 1000 horse power
from the dam.
Together with the new wheel
new General Electric Co., generator
of 1000 k. W. capacity is being in
stalled. This is an immense piece
of machinery, weighing 10000
pounds, and it takes some skill to
raise it ten. feet and then lower it
SO feet to it's position. which is be-
ing done this week. The weight of
the new water wheel is $4,000
pounds. When these new machines
are installed it will give them three
units of power at the dam, two in
the DEBORAH power house and two
in the Waukon power house, which
makes it reasonably certain that we
will never be without service for
any length of time.
In addition to the improvements
at the dam, new $50 horse power
Corliss steam engine is being INSTALL
ed at the Waukon power house this
week.
The Waukon iron mines will soon
be using power from the dam, be-
sides DEBORAH, Waukon, Postville,
the tile works at Postville and other
large users of power and light The
increased demand for power has
caused the addition of this new
equipment, which, we believe, makes
much the largest water power plant
in Iowa. yse1
1t is also proposed, for the con-
venience of the many who picnic at
this beautiful spot in the summer, to
set aside piece of land for picnic
grounds, to raise a sum by subscrip-
tion sufficient to pay for the erec-
tion of sheds for horses, eating
| tables, etc., so as make the place
as convenient and attractive as pos
sible to the hundreds who delight in
the beautiful scenery and the fishing
about the dam.

The managers of the opera house
made an attempt on Friday night to
procure list of the patrons of the
Grand in DEBORAH and aneighboring
places, in order TO have list to
send out advertising matter, an
nouncements of future attractions,
etc. A large list of names was SCI
cured on the cards circulated, but
still there are many who sometimes
attend the theatre, and are entitled
to be on the list. The managers,
Messrs. G. ]. Weiser and Ben Bear,
will appreciate it very much If par
ties who did not sign the cards on
Friday night, will send in their
names to them.

Weather Crop Bulletin.
For the week ending Aug. 27, 1911.
Des MOines. Iowa.

For the week ending Aug. 81, 1911.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The week was cool and unusually
dry: only a few light and widely
scattered showers occurred. In many
localities over the western and south
western counties no rain fell during
the week, and in those sections the
drought is still serious. In the north
eastern district the rainfall was more
copious, and practically all crops are
in excellent condition, but consider
able small grain in shock has been
damaged by the continuous wet
weather during the past five weeks.
In other sections of the state corn on
light or rolling ground is dying very
rapidly and some of it is already be-
ing cut. Reports made on August
25th by the correspondents of this
service show that the average condl-
ton of corn was Is per cent, or a
gain of six points since August LIST.
With normal weather conditions
about IS per cent of the crop will be
safe from frost on September 18th.
80 per cent on September 25th, %
per cent on September 3Oth, and
practically all of it by October 10th.
The average condition of late pota-
toes on August 25th was 81 per
cent, or an improvement of 20 points
since August LIST. In many localities
in western and southern counties
farmers are feeding their stock green
corn on account of no pasturage.
Much more than the usual amount
of corn will be cut and saved as
substitute for hay. Fall blowing is
progressing in sections where suft1-
Gent rain has fallen to soften the
ground. In other sections that work
has been suspended. Apples, plums,
peaches and grape crops are larger
than usual. A summary of the late
reports from threshers show the av-
erage yield of small grain to be as
follows: Winter wheat, 20 bushels
per acre; spring wheat, IA; oats, Is;
barley, %; rye, II, and timothy seed
bushels per acre.
