SEARCHING FOR THE BEST.
Decorah's Square Dealing Clothier to
Spend Two Weeks i'm New
York For I'D Time.

A man who had done a certain
thing and done it well for 10 times,
twice each year for thirty-seven
years, whose whole life has been de-
voted to just that sort of thing, who
knows nothing but hustle, hustle all
the time, and who has the ability and
energy to see the vital points in a
proposition at a glance; such a man
ought to be able to do that thing
better than any other man.
All this is demonstrated in the life
and in the successful business career
of Mr. Ben Bear, our most promin-
ent citizen, in the clothing business.
Together with Mrs. Bear and their
son Alex he will leave Saturday
night for New York, to search
through the first markets of the ma
ton for the seventy-third time, to
see that DEBORAH and the surround
ing territory has offered to it this
spring and summer the best line of
made-to-order clothing and gents
furnishings in the United States. He
says he will try harder than ever to
get the very best things. He has al
ready placed his order for lot of
spring stuff, and this he wants to
look over and see if it is all right,
the famous Hart, Schaffner & Marx
line,s the 81" System, and the So
ciety Brand, the three most famous
lines of clothing in America. He
wants nothing but good goods, equal
to merchant tailored clothing, with
the finest furnishings, shirts, neck
wear, etc. that cash money is able
to buy.
He hopes to increase his sales this
year by selling for still more reason
able prices than ever, and to make
his profit from the quantity of goods
which pass through his establish,
ment.
His advertisement this week shows
an immense cleaning up sale, to get
room for these new goods. Read it

BALD HEADS NOT WANTED.
Badness is Too Generally COnsiG-
cred Sign of Advanced Age.

A bald headed person does not
have an equal chance with one bless
ed with a healthy head of hair, be-
cause badness is too generally &C
copied as an indication of age. Many
large corporations have established
an age limit, and refuse to take men
over 80 years of age as new en-
ployes.
Probably 65 per cent of bald head
ed people may regain a good head
of healthy hair if they will follow
our advice and accept our offer. We
have a remedy that We positively
guarantee to grow hair on any head,
unless the roots of the hair are en-
tirely dead, their follicles closed, and
the scalp has become glazed and
shiny. We want people to try this
remedy at our risk, with the distinct
understanding that unless it does
exactly what we claim it will, and
gives satisfaction in every respect, we
shall make no charge for the remedy
used during the trial.
We know exactly what we are
talking about, and with this Offer
back of our statements no one should
scott, doubt our word, or hesitate to

Interesting Illustrated Lecture.

The members of the p. A. Munich
Historical Society of Luther College
were charmed last Wednesday even
ing with the illustrated lecture upon
Norway by Prof. Bjarne Svanoe,
formerly a member of the Luther
College faculty. Prof. Svanoe has a
collection of rare and beautiful pic
lures, which are reflected upon the
canvass with remarkable clearness
and beauty, and his able and inter-
esting description and lecture upon
Norway was delight to all who
heard it. He is fast becoming a
notable success upon the lecture
platform.

Annual Hotel Meeting.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Winneshieg Hotel
company was held at the hotel yes
terday morning. The annual report
of Secretary Ccrtin showed a very
satisfactory condition under the cir
cumstances, with gradual reduction
in the debt upon the building, which
is now practically better than when
new, extensive improvements and ad-
ditions to equipment having been
made. Immediately after the stock
holders meeting the directors met
and reelected the present officers.

THE COLD WEATHER.
Record of Government Observer
Shows Temperature Never
Before Known Here.

In our last issue we gave the Off
cial record of the temperature as
taken by the United States govern
ment's observer, Mr.. w. F. Baker,
for the first ten days of the year.
We thought then that that was all
there would be of it, but to keep the
record straight, and just to let you
know who don't already know it, that
we have been having cold weather,
we give below the record for each
day since the beginning of the year,
a most remarkable record, eclipsing
anything ever experienced here. Dur
ing the past day or two there have
been signs of the breaking of the
cold period and slight rise in the
temperature, but when night comes
down goes the mercury again.
Here is the official record for the
year thus far, with the temperature
below zero marked go:

put our remedy to an actual test.
We want every one in DEBORAH
who is suffering from any scalp or
hair trouble, dandruff, falling hair,
or badness, to try our Rexall 1913"
Hair Tonic. We want them to use
it regularly say until three bottles
have been used-and if it does not
eradicate dandruff, cleanse and re-
fresh the scalp, tighten the hair in
it's roots, and grow new hair, we will
return every cent paid us for the
remedy for the mere asking. There
is no formality expected, and we
exact no obligation from the user
whatever.
We are established right here in
DEBORAH, and make this offer with
full understanding that our business
success entirely depends upon the
sort of treatment we accord our GUS
toners, and we would not dare make
the above offer unless we were posi-
lively certain that we could substan-
tiate it in every particular. Remem-

Reed Wins at Mason City.

l.. o. Reed not only runs a livery
stable, fishes and hunts wolves, but
he is also some chicken raiser. He
has flock of Rhode Island Reds that
he is as proud of as a boy with a
new pair of red-top boots, and he
has a right to be. Last week he
took thirteen of them to Mason City,
but it did not prove an unlucky
number, and in the Northern Iowa
Chicken Show he received the high
est score on ten birds and won sec
ond in the R. l. Red class. He won't
talk to ordinary people like us any
more.

Large Crowd is Delighted.

1.-The Country Boy" made a hit in
DEBORAH on Monday night. 1t has
been our first attraction since the
holidays and the house was well fill
ed The people expected to be high
ly amused and entertained, and they
were not disappointed. 1t was one
of the best things we have had in
some time. In every detail the pro-
duction has been adequately and
carefully staged. The roles are car
ried by particularly competent char
acters each of whom seems to have
been made for the part, and the sham
and show and tinsel of so many
stage frailties was nowhere in evil
dence Monday night. 1t was COM
Iplete production, a splendid success
and both the company and the audi
ence were glad they had seen each
other.

LOUIS BERGERON
IN TROUBLE
AGAIN
Former Employe OF Smith Thomas
Grocery Faces Serious Charge
Confesses to Peculations That
Amount to $4,000.

Louis E. Bergeron, formerly a res
ident of this city and who has al
ready served a term in the Joliet
Ill, penitentiary. is again in trouble.
This time he has confessed to spec
ulations amounting to $4,000 from
the International Plumbing & Heat
ing company of Denver, where he
was a trusted employe.
Bergeron came to this city with
his girl-wife about four years ago,
and was employed at that time by
the Smith-Tuomas grocery company.
He was found here by Pinkerton de-
tectives employed by the Chane COM
pany of Chicago, who caused his ar
rest on charge of stealing typewrit-
ers. 1t was said at that time that
Bergeron was one of the best and
most careful accountants and office
assistants that great corporation had
ever employed. He was found to be
short in his accounts several times.
and, finally, rather than lose his
services, he was placed in charge
of the shipping department of the
company with considerable authori-
ty and no opportunity to handle mon
ey. Here his mania to appropriate
property not his own was eXemplified
III llt Iltll Vi couple OF lypeWIll-
ers. For this he was discharged and
as soon as it was found that he had
taken other property Pinkertons
were put on his trail and he was ar
rested here. While awaiting his tri-
al and serving sentence in Joliet the
Crane company sent a member of the
firm here and employed a local at
torney to provide the young Mrs.
Bergeron with money during her
husbands Incarceration. The thought
fulness of the Crane people in maxi
ing this provision for the innocent
victim of Bergeron's dishonesty eX-
cited general admiration and surprise
at the time.
BergerOn was not heard from
again until this latest escapade in
Denver 1t seems that he was able
to get fine position in the offices
of the big plumbing supply house
and that he had practically complete
control of the books and much of
the cash reserve of the company. He
declared when arrested that his
gambling passion had caused him to
make the misappropriation.
The parents of the young man, Mr..
and Mrs. L. G. Bergeron, reside on
Orchard Mesa on ranch on the river
road.
