HE WAS CHICKENS FEATHER"
Little Boy Was Determined to PROTECT
His Pet, Even If It Was a Great
Nuisance.

l want to give you story (true)
about a youngster in my neighbor-
hood, which | consider good. 1t is
as follows: Out of a brood of chick
ems was one poor little thing, with
but few pin feathers. The six
year-old boy of the family made a
pet of it. 1t would follow him all
over the house, and all the sound
that ever came from it was "Peep,
peep" 1t incidentally got into
everyone's way, the members of the
family falling and stumbling over it,
and many q stifsd oath was uttered
by them. On this particular day the
mother of the family fell over the
chicken, and made the remark
wish some one would do something
to that chicken" The cook, who was
standing near with butcher knife in
hand, said: "I'll fix that chicken,
mum p picked it up by the neck and
started for the kitchen door. The
small boy appeared upon the scene
at this time and overheard the re-
mark, and this was his reply: "Well,
| guess not! Guess I've got some
thing to say about that chicken! |
want you to understand I'm the ia
ther of that chicken"

BIG EVENT FRIDAY.
"Miss Nobody From Starland'
Promises to Draw Large Crowds
From Out of Town.

Judging from the number of re-
quests for seats from out of town
people for Miss Nobody from
Starland," which will be seen at
the Grand opera house, Friday,
Feb 3rd, a large delegation will be
here on that night, and will return
after the performance. 1t is said
that fully a hundred and fifty from
out of town will attend the perform
ance, so it is very evident that the
phenomenal success of this big mu-
steal revue has preceded it's arrival
in this section Of the country. This
organization plays but seven cities
in the state and DEBORAH is one of
the seven which shows the standing
that DEBORAH holds in the theatre
cal world. That famous dress re-
hearsal scene in which the entire
audience is taken back of the scenes,
is one of the most talked of novel
ties in theatricals today, and is said
to be most natural as we'll as the
funniest scene ever constructed by
an author. The company is a very
large one, comprising almost sixty
people headed by the well known
prima donna, who essays the role Of
Miss Nobody"
Every artist in the cast sings and
dances aside from playing the char
acters assigned them. The chorus
is said TO be made up of New York
and Chicago's representative beau
ties and includes the Little Twink
lers' dancing squad, recent Par
sian Importation. The production
is carried complete in every detail.

due and paid in September. Now,
these three mills could be applied
as levy for sewer purposes and
not increase the taxes, remaining
the same as they have been for the
past sixteen years. The cost of the
entire SYSTEM has been estimated
from $4,000 to $4,000. The I'M
even condition Of the surface, rocky
character of some localities and de-
tached situation of West DEBORAH, all
tend to increase the cost. AS to
cost to individuals, three mill tax
levy will cost each $1,000 assess
ment 10 cents per year. The assess
ment against abutting and adjacent
property will probably not exceed ST
FER lineal foot, which makes an as
sessment of S25 for each so foot
lot. This might be paid in seven
annual installments at six per cent
interest. Added to this would be
the expense of connection from
house or store. This is a problem
which must soon be met in DEBORAH.
Mayor F. w. Daubney followed
with few remarks along the same
line, explaining the difficulties ex-
perienced by cities in locations, ETC.,
and also the urgent need of COM
plete system for DEBORAH.
Messrs. E. ]. Parman and E. C.
Bailey spoke briefly upon the De-
corah Gas Company, explaining the
progress of the work of installation
of the plant. and stated that service
would be furnished the people of the
city within two weeks at the out
side. Mr.. Bailey also brought up
the matter of the sprinkling of the
residence districts during the sum-
mer, expressing the hope that some
thing might be done to establish a
uniform system throughout the city.
This closed a very interesting and
profitable meeting, which may result
in much good for the city.

RUMORS OF a FORTUNE.
The Children of the Late Mr.. and
Mrs. j. w. Stiles Will Perhaps
Receive Large Amount
of Money.

Rumors of fortune having fall
en- to the children of the late John
w. Stiles and wife have been afloat
in DEBORAH for several days. 1t
came about through the arrival here
last Friday of their cousin, Dwight
Stiles, son of Edward Stiles a broth
er of ]. W., for many years land
lord of the Stiles Hotel. He came
here for the purpose of securing the
affidavits of the members of the FAM
lily residing in DEBORAH to show that
they are the rightful heirs to large
amount of money coming from the
estate of their grandfather, T. c..
Stiles of Cleveland, Ohio. The facts
as near as we understand them are
to the effect that the grandfather
now deceased, was married twice,
his last wife dying about a year ago.
Both were wealthy, and conditions
were made that on the death of Mr..
Stiles his property was to go to the
widow, but after her death his prop
erty or monies were to revert to his
children and heirs and her interest
to go to her heirs. $4,000 is sup
posed to go to each of the girls,
Miss Lizzie Stiles and Mrs. E. w.
Spur of DEBORAH; Mrs. Name
Haines of Sherwood, N. D.; Mrs.
Nell Bondy of New York City;
Mrs. Grace Norton of Tyler, Mimi.
Mrs. Anna Schildknecht of Dubuque
and Miss Ruth Stiles of New York
City. $4,000 is to go to Charles
Stiles of Cherokee.
We hope this good news proves
true and join with the many friends
of the children in extending advance
congratulations anyway.

Does it Pay?

Last week a stranger, Mr. Flah-

the National Cash Register Co. 1t
was his first trip here, and he came
down to this Office, inserted an adj
vertisement for the cash register and
stated that he was stopping at the
Winneshiek. Soon after the paper
came out two business men looked
him up, and he sold two cash reg
listers on account of this adv, TO
two men he had never seen. The
adv. cost him $500, but it paid him
big. 1t will do the same for you,

cd murderer, O'Aalley, is kept in soli.
tary confinement, handcuffed, and has
TO be put to sleep with drugs. He has

crazy.
The sheriff stated that the wave Of
feeling against O'Malley is widespread
throughout all of the county in which
the crime was committed and that

streets of LIE Sueur Center. He said
also that any ablebodied man with a

wall in ten minutes. The town is ap-
parently quiet, but the O'Malley case,
it is said, is the chief topic of CONVEX
sation upon the streets and in the
