CURTIN WILL WIN.
Every Indication Now Points to the
Unanimous Election as PFesi-
dent Iowa Bankers
Association.

Some time ago Mr.. E. ]. Curtin,
president of the Citizens Savings
Bank of this city, let it be known
among his friends that he would be
candidate for president of the
Iowa Bankers Association, at the
state meeting at Mason City, which
occurs next week His friends got
busy over the state, and five group
meetings unanimously Endorsed his
candidacy, Sioux City, Davenport,
Charles City, Webster City and Eliza
der, and not a single other group
meeting endorsed any candidate.
Since that time it is stated that the
other candidates have withdrawn
from the race, and left the field open
to Mr. Curtin, so that there is now
little doubt OF his election.
The presidency of the Iowa Bank
ers' Association is an honor of the
highest rank. 1t is distinction
which would be proudly held by any
man in Iowa, and if the association
awards it to Decorah's banker, the
honor and distinction will be shared
alike by him and the whole city.
That he will carry the honOrs well
there is no doubt. His acquaintance
the state, his knowledge
of banking, and his congenial, pro-
gressive nature will make him
splendid officer. We sincerely hope
he will be elected.

The Bank Statements.

This paper contains publications OF
the statements of the condition OF
three of the prosperous banks of the
county, Winneshiek County State
Bank and Citizens Savings Bank of
DEBORAH and Burr Oak Savings Bank.
In each case substantial, healthy
condition is shown. The Winneshiel1
shows deposits of $1,152,S36.16, the
Citizens s457, 1886, and the new
Burr Oak bank comes in nicely with
$3l, 549.04, which is a first class
showing for the few months the
bank has been open. The condition
OF each of these institutions is very
gratifying.

Petition is Granted.

Should the supreme court declare
the mulct petition sufficient in this
county, or if not, should the petition
now being circulated be found suffi-
cient, it is almost certain that there
will be but four saloons in DEBORAH,
one to thousand people, as con-
templated by the Moon law. In Ce-
dar Rapids the city council, upon the
advice of the city attorney and other
able lawyers, has reduced the num-
Der of saloons to thirty-two, one to
a thousand, and other cities are do
ing the same. In most cases where
the number is reduced the license
is increased.

l.. C. BAND TO COAST.
Luther College to Tour the
West.

Preparations are well under way
for the departure of the Luther Col
lege Concert Band on its concert trip
to the Pacific coast during the sum-
mer months. The band will be COM
posed of fifty men and the glee club
of 10 men, under the direction of
Prof Carlo A. Sperati, and will
travel in special car. They will
leave DEBORAH on June 22d, attend
the Synod meeting in st. Paul, and
on the 26th give grand concert
at the big auditorium in that city
Then they will proceed west over the
Great Northern, stopping at various
places en- route for concerts. They
will visit about 60 congregations of
the Lutheran church, and will appear
in public at least 100 times on the
trip, which will occupy twelve weeks
time. Their western destination will
be Astoria, Oregon. They expect to
arrive home about Sept. 18th.
Besides the splendid experience
for the college men, this trip will
be a great advertisement for Decor
ah and Luther College. Nothing can
more successfully spread the fame of
Luther than a splendid musical or
ganization, and e'er they arrive
home, the whole northwest will be
as proud of them as is DEBORAH.

"DAVE" GRAHAM Is GONE.
Alderman ID. G.. Graham, One of De-
cOrah's Most Popular Citizens,
Passes Away.

The news of the death of Alder
man David C. Graham of the first
ward on Saturday evening brought
sorrow to the hearts of all who heard
it, for few men have lived long in
DEBORAH who have been better
known or more generally esteemed
by everybody than he. Big hearted,
kindly, always jolly and cheerful,
generous, courteous, in every sense
man, Dave" was known TO every
man, woman and child who met him
ever after. He will be missed in so
many different ways that it may be
well said, he was the friend of every
one.
David Collins Graham was born
May %, 1S47, at Yorkville, Racine
county, Wis, and moved to Portage
in 1869. The same year he was mar
ried to Miss Emma Rood of Portage.
They came to DEBORAH in 1874, re-
turning to Portage again in 1878,
where he remained to care for his
parents until their death. To this
union were born three children, Mrs.
Mary Francis Thompson, Mrs. Ella
May Miller, DEBORAH, George Wal
lace Graham, Spokane, Wash. His
first wife died Jan. IA, 1886, and
on Feb. 16, 1888, at Portage, Wis,
he was united in marriage to Miss
Mary Lilly Maltby, to which union
were born two boys, Byron Maltby
Graham of DEBORAH and Perry Roger
Graham of Spencer, Iowa. He had
been engaged in farming in Wiscon-
sin, and in Feb. 1892 removed to
DEBORAH, having purchased the dray
line, which he operated up to the
time of his death. His second wife
died March 10, 1893, in this city,
and on April &c, 1896 he was united
in marriage to Miss Nellie Maltby,
who, with the children, one brother,
Thomas of this city, and one sister,
Mrs. Mary Rood of Chicago, survives
him.
For the past year or two Mr.. Graz
ham had been in poor health. He
spent some time in Chicago a year
ago and seemed to be permanently
benefited He has been in charge of
his business for a year or more, but
was not so strong as formerly. Last
Wednesday he was taken sick again,
and on Friday night his condition
had become so serious that he was
taken to st. Joseph's hospital, Cres>
co, where on Saturday afternoon he
was operated upon for bowel diff
culties, and at 500 O'Clock passed
away. The remains We're brought
home the same night, and the fun
eral services held from the home yes
terday afternoon, Rev. DR.. II. H.
Green officiating, with the Masonic
service at the grave, interment be-
ing in Phelps cemetery.
DEBORAH has had few more public
spirited men than Mr. Graham. AT
the time of his death he was serving
his third term as a member of the
city council, and in everything that
tended to upbuild the city he was ac-

GOllmar Brothers Circus.

This is an age of immense proper
tons, the scale of every project is
being constantly enlarged. This is
certainly true of the circus business
The sleepings cars of a circus are
fitted with stationary berths, that
cannot be folded away, as in the
Pullman. They are more commodi-
Gus and comfortable than those in
the palace cars.
An extra sleeper is required be-
cause of the many performers and
musicians. This too, is a stateroom
car, and cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000. In order that they might
prevail upon certain performers, who
had never travelled with a circus to
join his galaxy of stars, the Gollmar
Brothers have had several stateroom
cars built. If the readers could look
in upon the occupants of these cot
tages on wheels they would be sur
prised by the homelike appearance of
the furnishings, the shelves of books
and magazines, the cozy corners, and
the bric-a-brac. 1t all tends TO make
the life of the performers a pleasant
one, but it is very expensive under
taking for the circus manager.
About the only complaint heard of
the Gollmar Brothers shoyc1ast5 sea-
son was that it was too big. There
was too much of it. In spite of this,
the magnitude of this show will be
more bewildering than ever this
year. In order to secure the SUI
perior talent, the new and original
acts to be seen with the Goldman
Brothers circus, it was necessa ry that
even for this year alone, there should
be an outlay of $4,000 above the al
lotted amount.

prise visits Postville, Wednesday,
June 14th and Cresco, Thursday,

DYNAMITE IN AGRICULTURE.

A frequent and formidable obstacle 10 successful tillage of the soil is the presence of hardpan, an unyieldng layer of congested earth underlying the surface from being profitably drained or worked. There are ways of getting below this obstruction to the more fertile subsoil but their application is difficult and expensive. A sugges- tion comes from Missouri however
 IS result of experiments in Jasper Country, that is worth the attention of those agriculturists that have this problem to deal with. It has been demonstrated that ground, which be- cause of it's hardpan produced small crops of corn yield nine times as much after being dynamited. The process is very simple. A hole four feet deep is bored with an old shioned auger
 A stick of dynamite is inserted and exploded. The result isi circle of raised ground like d gigantic potato hill. thirty feet across. A field by this method can be treated with almost as much expedition as the common plough vii uncover freer ground and the fertility that has been locked up can be relea scd. 1t gives tlre under lying soil air and water, and is liter ally the discovery of real treasure in the ground. The product of the Jas per county experiment has taken prizes at the corn show and is exhibited as showing what can be done upon "dy- namited hardpan This is not cx- actly turning the sword into the pl0ughshare, but it is the application of an instrument of violence to a ben efcent purpose.-Boston Transcript.
