Illinois Leads, while Nebraska and
Vermont Are Last.


From the Lincoln Star
In the new Congressional directory seat
ont by the Joint Printing Committee Of
the House and Senate appears a tabu-
lated statement of the salaries paid by
the various States to their governors
It makes a somewhat pitiful showing for
Nebraska, as this is one of the two
States in the Union listed as paying
their governors the minimum salary. The
salary Of the governor Of Nebraska IS
given at $500 Vermont is the only other
State that pays so little to its chief
executive.
Illinois leads in liberality in payment Of
its governors, overtopping even New
York. II pays its governors $1,000 a
year, while New York. California, New
Jersey. Ohio, and Pennsylvania pay s1O,-
COO each.
Fifty-one governors are listed for the
States, Territories, and insular posses
sions. Indiana, Massachusetts, ana Por-
to Rico pay each 8, 600; Minnesota, Alas
ka. and Hawaii. $500 eachi Kentucky.
$500 and Washington pays 5000

Till Was Tapped.

Three times during the past month
Davis Stevens has missed money
from his cash drawer in his feed
store, amounting in all to about
$500. He perhaps would have been
short some more last Sunday, but his
return to the store after short trip
up town, gave him the opportunity
to catch a young lad about ID years
of age in his store, having gained
entrance through the back door. No
cash was missing, but the. boy was
caught and Mr.. Stevens proceeded to
take him to the mayors office, but
on the way the lad complained of his
arm hurting and Mr.. Stevens eased
up on his grip, when the boy broke
and disappeared up Winnebago
street, and evidently is going yet, as
Mr. S. didn't catch him, but the
chances are he will not be caught in
that predicament again.

Boys Teams.
Silver Wedding.

An event of more than ordinary
interest in the lives of Mr.. and Mrs.
Emil Rosenthal occurred last Fri
day, March LIST, the occasion being
their twenty-fifth wedding anniver-
sary. The event was only observed
by the immediate family, as owing
to the sickness of relatives a larger
gathering was deferred until some
future time. Nevertheless the con-
gratulations and good will of num-
erous friends were offered them. De-
corah has been Mr.. and Mrs. Rosen-
thal's home ever since their mar
riage; they have been blessed with
family of five fine children, three
boys and two girls, and have always
enjoyed the friendship and esteem
of large number of warm friends,
who congratulate them on their
twentyfifth wedding anniversary, and
hope they will be able to enjoy many
more anniversaries, and especially
their golden wedding together.

KEEP MARRIAGE SECRET.
Miss Esther Alstad and. Harry j.
Hanson Married Feb. end.

Quite surprise was sprung on the
friends of Miss Esther Alstad and
Harry j. Hanson yesterday, when the
announcement of their marriage was
made. The happy event took place
at the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Alstad in West
DEBORAH on the evening of February
End, and not even their nearest
friends knew of the event until this
week, and We think the happy young
couple are entitled to double con-
CALCULATIONS in keeping such an i'm
portant event secret so long.
The bride is one of Decorah's very
best young ladies and enjoys the
friendship of large circle of
friends. The groom has been stu
dent at Luther College, and is a well
liked and popular young man.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hanson expect to de-
part in few days for Moorehead,
Mimi, their future home, where Mr.
Hanson will take a position in drug
store. We desire to extend congratu-
lations, even though they are some
what belated.

DEBORAH WINS.
DEBORAH High School Basket Ball
Team Wins From
Usage.

After long and fatiguing trip the
two basket ball teams representing
the d. H. S. reached Usage in the af-
ternoon of March 1st. 1t was not
long until the teams were on the
floor for an easy workout.
The hall in which the games were
played is without a doubt one of the
finest high school gymnasiums in the
state of Iowa. 1t is located in the
basement of the splendid new school
building just erected during the past
year.
The evenings program commenc-
ed with an indoor base ball game be-
tween two teams from the Usage
schools. Though this was an inter
esting curtain-lifter, it grew too long
drawn-out for the impatient basket
tossers.
At last the whistle summoned the
girls for their bout. In spite of the
fact that the game was entirely too
one-sided, it really was interesting,
as the DEBORAH team displayed a
team work that is not often paral-
leled. The forwards and centers
played the greater part of the game,
but when Usage once in a while got
the ball into their territory, the De-
corah guards showed that they were
in class with their teammates. In
fact, the Usage forwards were only
twice in the whole game allowed a
chance for a field goal. Both times
the result was a failure. The final
score was 81 to in favor of the
visitors

So far the evening had passed in
peace and quiet, but change was
due when the boys arrived on the
floor The game started with a rush
and a spirit that indicated that
hard fight was in store 1t was clear
that it would be a great deal harder
TO bring victory to DEBORAH this time.
Soon, however, the DEBORAH boys took
the lead and showed a determination
to keep the margin in their favor
In the struggle which followed, some
roughness was apparent, which the
Usage crowd was only too glad to
attribute entirely to the visitors. In
spite of the crowds desire to get"
or kill the visitors, the officials
carried the game through without
much trouble. When time was call
ed at the end of the last half De-
corah easily held the lead with the
score 81 to 81

A strange thing has come to pass
among the democrats of the city Of
Tulsa. Some of them claim that the
others are telling lies about them
actually telling bold, bad lies. In
deed, this is marvelously strange, be-
cause it is bad taste for one demo-
crat to Ne about another, even If the
one has struck the Damascus up to
the hilt in lung. Some of the dem,
ocrats have even lied about the re-.
publicans, but that Is of little con-
sequence.
Even democrats lied about Charlie
Comedy when he was chief of police,
it is said-City Hall democrats, too
and they made life so mean for
Charley that he QUIT. The beautiful
slaughter which the City Hall ring
attended Tuesday-anyway Comedy
was elected commissioner, and there
is a whole lot of truth in this laugh
