GOVERNOR STANDS PAT
Argues That New Plan Will Work
Out Well.

Governor Hawley is following up
the action of the state board of equal
izaticn in the matter of leash value"
assessments of the property in the
State He is checking up on the work
of the assessors to see that the in
structions sent them are being carried
out. The governor holds TO the posi-
ton that there is little real opposition
to the increased valuation among
citizens who wish to do their duty to
the state. In a communication just
sen to each Of the assessors Governor
Hawley says:
Dear Sir: The resolve of he state
board of capitalization to put the as
scssment of taxable property at its
full value is meeting with hearty
concurrence of nearly all of the coun-
ty officers and the hopeful assent Of
great majority of our people. Outside
of few of our newspapers, animated
apparently by the seeming desire to
further certain political or business
interests, this great reform meets lit
tie opposition. From every quarter of
the state we are constantly receiving
encouragement and commentator.
No one is really opposing except he
who in the past has been evading his
share of the public business, and a
few others who. admitting the sound
ness of the theory, magnify trivial diff
ficulties into mountains of doubt.
"Our information from various as
I SCISSORS shows that the evils of the
heretofore prevailing system have
been greater than first thought. In.
stead of from 25 to 40 per cent being
the assessed valuation. much prop
erty in some counties has been as
sessed as low as 10 per cent of its rea
value. Even in Ada county, which has
had a higher valuation than most O
the other counties, the average will
be increased apparently $50 per cen
over last years assessments.
Il desire information from you a
your earliest convenience in regard Il
the increase in your county on variou
kinds of property Write me full
with reference to it. The board ha
about perfected arrangements 70

OUR BAND AT SIOUX FALLS.
Luther College Concert Band Charms
Dakota City With Strains
of Harmony.

The newspapers have been un-
usually kind to the Luther College
Concert Band during their western
trip, and everywhere they have play
ed they have received very compli-
mentary press notices. We append
below just sample, what the Daily
Argus-Leader of Sioux Falls, S. D.,
says of their concert:
"While there was a good turn out
at the New Theatre last evening to
hear the famous college band of De-
corah, Iowa, the house should have
been crowded. 1t is probably the
most youthful band of artists that
has appeared in our city and consist
ed of AZ pieces. The boys-for they
are only boys-are under the able
dictatorship of Carlo A. Sperati. AL
though he is the son of an Italian
father, his mother was a Norwegian
and he was raised in Norway. Coming
to this country, he accepted the posi-
tion he has held for many years as
musical director at Luther College,
DEBORAH, Iowa. AS the audience lis
tened to selection after selection,
played by these college boys, they
recognized the master mind which
had been able to develop the latent
talent until the proficiency of the
band as listened to last night was
reached.
Among the younger members of
the band was c. Vittorio Sperati,
who played the snare drum and a
solo cornetist, o. Angelo Sperati, II
years old.
1t would be difficult to select any
one piece as better than the rest, but
the substitute for "Tobani," which
includes selections from the national
airs of Scandinavia was exceptionally
well rendered, as was also the one
selection sung by request.
The Glee club consisting of eight
young men was enthusiastically re-
ceived, and in response to encores
gave one selection in Scandinavian
and one in English. The closing num-
Der was grand. THE Death of Gus
ter" The audience was delighted
with this description of the Battle
of Little Big Horn" 1ney saw the
Indians preparing for the war; they
heard the bugle in Clusters camp;
they heard them on the march, the
hoofs Of the horses in the distance
coming nearer and nearer; they lis
! tened to the national airs; and the
music of the Indians. Everything
was wildly portrayed by the use OF
the band instruments. Clusters bur-
ial, muffled drums and the bugle
sounding the last call closing with
the beautiful hymn, Nearer, My
| God, to Thee" was very realistic.
The DEBORAH college band will be
welcomed again in our city"

BIRD MEN AT DUBUQUE.
Worlds Famous Air Men to Fly al
NutwOOd Park, September
2Sth to Goth.

The business men of Dubuque are
looking forward to Thursday and
Friday, September 2Sth to goth,
when Lincoln Beachey, the world S
greatest flyer will appear at Nut
wood Park in a series of death-defy-
ing feats of the air. Beachey will
use the same machine that he used
in his flight over Niagara and also
at Chicago when he attained the
worlds altitude record of 1,642
feet, higher than any man had ever
flown previously. The machine will
be on exhibition free of charge af-
ter the flights of the day are over
In addition to his exhibition flights
Beachey will race an automobile over
a distance Of five miles. Beachey
has never been defeated in a race
with an automobile. This will be the
first one ever held in Iowa. In addi-
ton to the flying events there will
be motorcycle races and other events
to amuse the crowd between the
flights.
Arrangements are being made to
secure Company A of the Iowa State
Militia to participate in a sham bat
tie with the aeroplane showing the
use of the aeroplane in times of war.

AFTER THE SALOON WHAT?
The Sort of Game Lansing is up
Against Now That We Are
DRY" Community.

The business of that booze dispens-
ing river craft known as the Ram
bier" will probably soon go glimmer-
ing, as it is rumored DeSoto parties
will shortly run free ferry to that
place from Lansing. Our town will
become the laughing stock of the
country in permitting such dis
graceful thing as this boat to long
exist. If the state officials have any
authority, it is high time for them
to show their hand. Lansing we'll
knows from bitter experience the re-
suits of island saloons, gun boats"
and like outlawry. 1t is time such
fragrant evasions of law were taken
notice of by the authorities and those
responsible for the maintenance of
these disreputable places death with
as public decency demands.
This boat is a direct outcome of
the closing of saloons here on the
Bird of July. Where is there a man
prepared to say conditions have been
bettered? If the sale and consump-
ton of booze had been entirely done
away with by the action of the law
in the closing of saloons, there were
many who would have counted it a
good thing and blessing. But what
has been the result? This boat is one
of them, increased drunkenness is
another And we are not so sure
that boot-legging is not another.
One man had been heard to say
that while he could not get anything
in the Lansing saloons, he has no
trouble now in getting drunk every
day.
River towns like Lansing are un-
fortunately situated, in that irrespon-
sible men may engage in a business
sanctioned and licensed by this gov
eminent and yet apparently free
from the laws interference when
violations are known to exist. Pc
culiar condition, isn't it?-Lansing

THE RUsTLING OF THE CORN.

In my study chair reclining,
In repose my fancys twining
All the Joy which grit the present
With the days now lost and gone,
And the pulses of my vision
Beat in rythmical precision
AS once more l hear the night breeze
Softly signing in the corn.
In those days of peace and plenty,
/, robust lad of twenty,
Rose, refreshed from out my slumber
In the early flush of dawn;
Saw the sun rise DER the meadows
Chase away the lingering shadows,
AS the morning breeze was signing
In the fields of growing corn.
Like an army formed in battle,
In the pasture tropped the cattle,
And the dewdrops shone and glim-
mered,
Pale and glinted on the lawn;
From the tangled hazel thicket
Came the chirping of the cricket,
Beating time-at least in fancy
To the rustling of the corn.
Then the footpath by the river,
Where the maple branches culver,
Where / met her
She who vanished like the breath OF
early morn;
can hear the songs of thrushes,
/ can see her smiles and bushes,
AS / kissed her
To the music of the rustlingscorn.
Thus | sit here idly dreaming
Of the older days, and deeming
That the height of memory's pleasure
Rests in days now lost and gone,
While from out the shadowy places
Peer the old familiar faces,
And / hear the summer Dreezes
Softly signing in the corn.

DEBORAH Lost to Strawberry Poin

DEBORAH Lost to Strawberry Point.
Manager Shea's new DEBORAH team
lost out to Strawberry Point at the
West Union fair last Wednesday. 1t
was good game though, and the
West Union Union tells about it in
the following:
THE base ball game between De-
corah and Strawberry Point had
played one inning when the rain
started, and after about one hour of
cold rain, a clear spot appeared in
the west. The ball boys got out with
shovels and brooms and had the ball
ground so they could get onto it.
They succeeded in playing six more
innings before the rain again set in,
and then the game was called. The
score was A to in favor of Straw
berry Point, but the game was a
very interesting one, and both teams
were exceptionally strong. The grand
stand was a cold bleak place and
those who went there got out as soon
as it ceased raining.
