hands by manipulating the cloch. If a
hicycllst desires to turn to the left,
he shoves on the right handle bar
with his right hand. The control OF
an aeroplane Is directly opposite. II
the aviator desires To go to the left he
shoyes the control forward with the
left hand. A big mirror in front show

which he made.
An instructor took his station in

note from abroad address the meeting.
The lantern slides that we exhibited
at the Chicago Land Show viii be
shown at one OF the theaters which
will be engaged for the exclusive use

dress the Bureau members, telling
them of his recent trip TO Washing

Taft. He will also deliver a lecture
in connection with the display OF the
colored lantern slides. Mr.. Carley has
done much in the last few days To

A minister in Salina, Kan. says that
people give more attention now TO the

newspaper men have been Of great
service TO the bureau in generously
publishing whatever news has been
sent to them pertaining TO the organi-
zation and it's work and their interest

ed is shown by the fact that they have
called their meeting at a time that
will enable them to be present at the
first annual gathering of the Develop
ment Bureau. 1t would probably be a
wise precaution for those who intend
being in Marquette either on the 9Th
or 9th of February to notify Mr. A. T.
Roberts. Marquette, or 7. Il. Quinby

reservations made for them at the ho-
tells. Inasmuch as these two promi

commodations.

Candidates For Recorder.

We announce today the candidacy
of Mr.. Peter r. Ramsey of Washing
ton Prairie for the republican nom
ination for County Recorder of
Deeds. Mr. Ramsey is a splendid
man for this position. He has grown
up from childhood on Washington
Prairie, in one of its best families,
and is a very popular and capable
man. He will be a strong candidate
without question.
The announcement of Mr.. Allen
Wise, for the democratic nomination
for the office of Recorder, also APP
pears in this issue. Mr.. Wise is a
popular young man and has made a
good Recorder, but we feel sure that
the republicans of Winneshiek coun-
ty are going to vote the republican
ticket this year, and that he will be
retired from Office.

SAVES MONEY IN DEBORAH.

Having decided to buy some new
furniture for his home he came to
DEBORAH to get prices and brought
with him a mail order catalogue
from which he had about decided to
order
After calling upon other dealers
he decided that he would go home
and send his order to the mail ord
err house. His wife happened to
think of Morrison's Little Store that
she had read had just moved into
larger quarters, next door east of
Reum's Meat Market So they came
in to figure with him and were sur
prised that the prices | made them
were way below anything they had
been offered Just before leaving
for home with his new goods he left
us the mail order catalogue for a
keepsake. AS this one deal had
saved him about $1,000, he was con-
vinced that The Little Store" was
the place for him to buy furniture
from now on.

a chimney on the Citizens Savings
Bank building across the alley, about
which ropes were placed to support
rigging for the lifting of the beam
into place, allowed the rigging, beam
