Young Lehman has been a student
at several agricultural schools. He
first intended to become a ranch owner
in the South. and in order thoroughly
TO understand the nature OF the soils
OF the South and what crops were best
suited to them. he went TO the agri-
cultural college at Raleigh. N. c. While
there he came TO the conclusion that
hogs could be marketed on big scale
at handsome profits. He. therefore.
spent most of his time learning about
the breeding Of the best type of pork

Rad almost decided to buy a ranch

That is why the Long Island farm was
bought.
There is an old-fashioned country
house on the premises. and this will
likely be transformed into a summer
home for Mrs. Guthrie and an all-year
place for the young gentleman farmer
her son.

Mrs. E. r. Stull passed away on

cere Christian woman of many adj
qualities, a good friend and
neighbor. She is survived by her

er, five half sisters and one half
brother. Brief funeral services were
held from the home at eight o'clock

THE UNION MEETINGS.
Attendance Good Despite
Cold Weather.

The union meetings being held at
Marsh's hall "got the swing of things
last Sunday, despite the awful
weather with which they have had
to contend for week. All the meet
ings were well attended and the in
terest deep. Smith and Colburn,
while they make every moment in
the meetings alive and full of in
terest, are absolutely devoid of SEN
sationalism and clap-trap methods.
The music is made great feature of
each meeting. Both gentlemen sing
and have been members of promin-
ent male quartettes. Prof. Colburn
is hymn writer of note. Their
duets are always enjoyed. AS a
prominent foot ball player puts it,
Their team work is well nigh per-
feet" At the various Sunday SER
vices they were splendidly assisted
by the large chorus and by Messrs.
Willett and Groves and Mesdames
Adams and Perry. 80
One Of the special musical feat
ures of this evening will be cornet
and vocal duet rendered by Messrs.
Groves and Smith: More Like the
Master" Mr.. Smith will speak upon
Lessons from a Fool" ss.t
The christian people of the city
are urged to attend the afternoon
meetings of tomorrow and Friday,
held at 800 p. m. at the Methodist
church. Mr.. Smith says no other
meetings will be of so great import
ance.
The two churches. Methodist and
Congregational, will unite in their
morning service at the Methodist
church next Sunday, and be address
ed by Evangelist Smith and Prof.
Colburn will lead in song. At $500
p. m. a second mass meeting for
men will be held at the hall and Mr..
Smith will tell the story of win"
Mcclure, the rescue of a railroad
engineer. No services will be held

A HOT FIRE.
Reum Poultry House Burns. Need
of Adequate Fire Alarm and Sug-
gestion For Providing One.

About one o'clock Monday morn
ing the poultry house of Fred Reum
& Co. on the fiat in the rear OF
Water street, was discovered on fire
and before the fire companies could
get there it was practically destroy
ed. Fortunately they were able to
protect the adjacent buildings. II
was very intense, hot fire, and the
firemen fought hard to control it
The house was well stocked with live
and dressed poultry, some thirty live
turkeys and also two fine dogs being
suffocated. The loss is about $1,000,
with insurance of $500. The cause
of the fire is unknown, Mr.. Reum
finding everything all right when he
went there at 1880 o'clock to close
up for the night.
Mr.. Reum says that he is still
doing business in the poultry line as
usual, and the fire will not interrupt
the business in any way.
Again the inefficient, in fact the
disgraceful fire alarm system in
vogue in DEBORAH is brought into
notice. When the men who discov-
cred this fire went to the city hall
the rope leading to the dinky little
bell In the tower was frozen in so
that they could not bulge it. and
one brave fellow climbed up the
tower in the cold, bitter night and
with a hammer pounded out the
alarm. But a few of the firemen
responded, as only a few heard the
alarm. Others were reused by tele-
phone.
Is it possible that DEBORAH must
have fire loss running way up into
the thousands before decent alarm
is furnished? We believe this is a
matter in which public interest
should be aroused. We have sug-
gested two different methods of pro-
viding an adequate fire alarm to
members of the city council, either
of which we believe to be practic-
able. One is that a special telephone
wire be stretched through the main
streets of the city, with branches to
the rooms of firemen, with electric
bells at their bedside, and telephones
in the rooms of the officers of the
various companies, these bells to be
rung and the ward alarms sounded
throughout the entire city by the
simple touch of one button in the
central office. Every fireman could
be instantly awakened, and perhaps
a hundred thousand dollars. saved
to the city in a short time. This
ought not to be expensive, and we
believe the details could easily be
worked out If the city council would
look into it.

Preserving the Old Flag.

In the second aoor lobby of the
court house there is fine new red
cedar case, with bevel plate glass
front and sides, which contains the
old flag presented to Co. d, Third
Iowa Infantry by the people Of De-
corah when 1t went to the war, and
was carried by them throughout the
war. Since then it was in charge
of the family of the late Captain E.
/. Weiser, and after his death Mrs.
Weiser turned it over to the G. A.
r., who took the matter up with the
board of supervisors, and as re-
suit this case has been made. 1t
is intended also to contain other
relics of the early history of Winnie
shiek county, and will make a safe
depository in which to place any
thing OF the kind that anyone may
desire to give to the public.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Items of Interest From the DEBORAH
High School, Reported by Our
Special Correspondent.
The Basket Ball Games.

On last Friday occurred the dou-
BILE header basket ball games, High
School VS.. Alumnae and High School
VS.. Alumni. Both games were inter-
esting to watch. Due probably to
the fact that the Alumnae were en-
tirely out of practice, they were
"swamped" to the tune of "a to 1.
The work of the high school for
wards was brilliant at times. The
lineup and score follows:

The boys game was more evenly
matched contest as the score, Sc to
80, plainly indicates. The game was
married by numerous fouls, which
are explained by the fact that some
of the Alumni have been playing col
legiate basket ball. The playing was
swift, however, and several pretty
baskets were netted. The team work
of the high school, especially during
the last quarter, was excellent. The

On Monday evening debate was

opinion" The speakers for the af-
firmative were Norman Bradish,
Rudolf Evans and Lawrence Acres.
The negative was defended by
Jamie Croft, Lillian Winter and My

which he announced the decision of
the judges in favor of the negative.
