The farmers creamery meeting at

noon was well attended, and resulted
in a definite decision to incorporate
and commence business as soon as
possible, which will probably be
about the first of the year. The COM
mittee to confer with Mr.. Roberg con-
corning the purchase of the Ice Cave
creamery reported that it could be
bought for $500, and it was voted
to make the purchase, thus obviat-

Farmers Will Not Appeal.

The report that the DEBORAH Farm
ers' Cooperative Society would ap-
peal the case instituted by Henry
Reeves against them appears to be
erroneous. The officers, expecting
that the stockholders would desire
to appeal, made out the necessary
papers, but when the matter was pre-
scented at their meeting last week it
was voted down, so that unless they
change their minds soon, the appeal
will stand, even though notice of APP
peal was filed with Atty. Acres.

SHOPLIFTERS ARE BUSY.
Two Women From Calmar Visit Var.
iOus Stores and Help Them
selves Until Caught in
the Act.

Two women from Calmar came
over to DEBORAH Friday and had a
high old time, looking over the many
beautiful and extensive stocks Of
holiday goods, and it seems that
from almost every place they visited
they gathered in souvenirs of the oc-
casion, without mentioning the mat
ter to the owners thereof.
About $3.50 o'clock they went into
the Mcintosh Bazaar. They replied
to the clerk who stepped up to wait
upon them that they were just wait
ing for the $40 train and wanted to
look about the store a little. And
they did. They stayed there look
ing about" for at least an hour and
quarter, and they had not been
there long until Miss Nettie McIn-
tosh, one of the proprietors, began
to become suspicious of their actions.
1t was not long until she was left in
the store with but one clerk and
these two women, the other clerks
going to supper. She watched them
separate and visit every department
of the store, and then come together
at the candy case in front. One of
the women took hold of a hat pin,
but it stuck and she couldn't get it..
Then she deftly concealed bottle of
perfume in the palm of her hand and
with clever downward sweep of her
arm slowed it away with her other
collections in her handbag.
This was about all Miss Mcintosh
could stand, so she quickly came out
from behind the counter, and then
one of the ladies said "Well, / guess
we'd better CO." but Miss Mcintosh
told them they need not hurry, and
in fact she wouldn't let them go un-
til they opened that purse. II didn't
put anything into it; honest to Cd
/ didn't" replied the sweet tempered
feminine. Strange to say Miss Nc
Intosh wouldn't take her word for
it, and grabbed her purse away from
her. She then searched them, and
found that they had neatly slowed
away ten dollars worth of articles.
Other things were also found, which
looked like they had come from other
stores, SO she called up Mr.. Warner
of Mott & Co. and Mr. Ed. J. Enslow,
and they quickly came down and
identified $3.50 pair of silk hose, a
$1.25 collar and so cent pair of
hose. The women begged like babies
to be let off without arrest, and final
ly it was settled by their paying the
value of the goods, s14.e0. "
Afterwards it was discovered that
they had left two suit cases at the
old store of Mott & Co., so it is pre-
sumed that they were carrying on
wholesale business in shoplifting,
and the outgoing trains were watch
ed to search them further, but they
got out of town without going by
train, and could not be found
They may consider themselves
very fortunate that they are not now
lodged in that awful old JAIL in care
of Sheriff Qualley. Let us hope they
have learned a lesson that they will
never forget.
We are giving these facts in detail
for the additional reason that there
has been a large amount of shoplift-
ing going on in DEBORAH during the
past year or two, and the merchants
are determined to put a stop to it.
The next time anyone is apprehended
it will probably not be so we'll for
them.

Films. Coming Here
Friday.

1.-THE Gotch-Hackenschmidt pictures
were shown at the Star on Monday
afternoon and evening, the record
for the picture house being broken
The pictures were exceptionally
clear, and everybody who saw them
seems to have been well satisfied.
Every movement of the giant Crap
piers is visible from the moment they
climbed into the ring.
The pictures bear out to the letter
the newspaper accounts which have
been published of the big match.
Hackenschmidt appears to have been
strong for a little while, but he APP
parently exhausted his energies in
clinging to Gotch's neck, probably
with the determination of weaken
ing him."

We acknowledge with thanks the
receipt of copy of the Luther Col
lege Semi-CentenniaI Annual" a
very excellent publication issued by
the students of that institution as a
souvenir of the semi-centennial cele-
bration held recently.
The book is splendid publication,
we'll printed and bound in limp
leather or cloth, selling at $500 and
$3.50, and is not only credit to the
institution, but an ornament and a
valuable addition to any library. 1t
is illustrated throughout with very
artistic and appropriate sketches and
drawings by Chas. Phil. Hexom of
this city, whose work has gained for
him a wide reputation; dotted with
excellent half tone cuts of college
views, the faculty, students now and
heretofore, etc., making altogether a
comprehensive and exhaustive his
torical and biographical record of
Luther College and those who have
gone out from it's halls.
The book ought to be in the home
of every friend of Luther College.
Owing to delay in publication it did
not arrive in time for sale during
the Semi-Centennial, hence a good
many copies remain unsold. The
students want to get rid of these,
and will appreciate orders from any
one. Address Luther College Semi
