CONGRESSIONAL DOPE.
What Space Writer at ClermOnt Says
of Possible Candidates.

Clermont, Ia, Feb. Sit was
quite surprise here when the name
of William Larrabee, Jr., was pre-
sented in the daily papers as a pos
sible candidate for congress of this
district. 1t was not known that Mr..
Larrabee was directing his political
ambitions in that line, but his friends
here Immediately took up the sug-
gestion and every effort will be made
to encourage the candidacy. How
ever, there will be no misundersta stand
ing between Mr.. Larrabee and SEN
ator Smith of Usage. If the senator
can be prevailed upon to enter the
race against H. l.. Adams of West
Union, the standpat candidate, then
Larrabee will drop out. If he does
not care to go into it and Congress-
man Haugen decides not to make the
race, then it is possible that Mr. Lar
rabee can be induced to make the
race.

OBITUARY.
Orlando Blanchard.

On Wednesday,, January 31st, a.
the Burr Oak Advent Christian church
occurred the funeral of Orlando
Blanchard, we'll known and highly
respected former resident of this
community. Mr.. Blanchard died the
night of Jan. eth. in his rooms on
East Main street in Bozeman, Mont,
where he had, with his sons, removed
from his homestead on the east Flat
head country the first of the week.
Old age was the chief cause of his
death.
His son, F. A. Blanchard, accom-
panied the remains, which arrived at
DEBORAH on Tuesday the Goth, and
were brought to the home of George
Smith near Burr Oak.
Orlando Blanchard was born in
Illinois on May "a, 1888, and moved
to DEBORAH, Iowa, in 1S48, at the
time when DEBORAH was still an In
dian village. On July 3, 1863 he
was united in marriage with Miss
Isabelle Kennison, beside whose
grave he was buried, as she had
preceded him in death number of
years. Mr.. Blanchard in his young
life became a member of the Advent
Christian church of Burr Oak, and
up to the time of his death was held
in high esteem by its members. In
1907 he moved to lGallatin county,
Montana, after living in California
for four years. He leaves to mourn
his loss four children, F. A. Blanch-
ard, ID. d. Blanchard, Mrs. Lizzie
Stevens and Mrs. Edna Stevens, all
of Gallatin county, Montana. The
funeral services were conducted by
Rev. j. r. Kess and were attended
by large number of friends of the
deceased. These all extend their
sympathy to the bereaved.

Making il Hard For Him.

There was a queer old specimen of
humanity brought to the Cuyahoga
county Jail. He had been convicted
of the crime of cruelty to animals,
and there was no doubt in anybody
mind that he richly deserved the
penalty inflicted 1t is the custom
to examine prisoners, however, be-
fore they are assigned to their cells.
When this old reprobate was brought
up, the interrogation went thus:
What is your manner"
"Budd Dobbs."
What is your age?"
"Sixty-eight."
What is your religion?"
Great snakes! Does man halter
git religion before they'll let him
inter Jail in this county?"-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

A Peculiar Rat Incident.

A peculiar rat incident occurred
near the C. G. w. station at Oelwein
the other day, says the Register,
when the top of the mercury was To-
Gated at something like 80 below
zero. A rat was noticed making his
way across the tracks, evidently from
grain car toward the station, and
in the trip he crossed a rail under
a car where escaping steam from a
pipe hit the rail. The frigidity OF
the rail and the atmosphere coupled
with the steam formed a combination
that glued the rats feet to the rail
Try as he would he could not get
loose, and he froze to death stuck
to the rail.

Forest City-DecOrah Debate.
On Saturday evening, Feb. 8, De-
corah, for the first time, had the
opportunity of hearing one of the
series of Iowa Interscholastic De-
bates. The debate, which was be-
tween the high schools of Forest City
and DEBORAH, was part of the second
round of the series, the teams hav-
ing qualified to take part by defeat
ing Grundy Center and Cresco re-
spectively.
The subject debated was: "Resolv-
ed: That the movement of organized
labor for the closed shop should re-
ceive the support of public opinion"
The affirmative was upheld by the
visitors, while the home team took
the opposition. The debate turned
almost wholly about the possibility
of practical trade agreement under
the proposed closed shop. Both
teams agreed that under the present
conditions labor agreements are es-
sential. The negative claimed that
such agreements could be made, and
had been successfully maintained
under open shop conditions, while
the affirmative tried to show that
the closed shop was essential.
In arguments the home team was
as strong as the visitors, but, in sys-
tematic working out of these, they
We're not. In delivery the visitors
were superior and especially SO in
the rebuttal, where they came out
with a clearness and strength that
was surprising. 1t was, therefore,
not an unexpected result, when the
judges, Supt. Ray Belknap of West
Union and Supt. Griffith of Waverly,
turned in a decision for the affirma-
tive.
The defeat is, however, no reason
whatever for DEBORAH to feel dis
as the local debators were
while Forest City had
on her team two of the veterans that
during the season of 1901 were
victors in nine debates before finally
to Cherokee. Therefore
let everyone in the high school pre-
pare to take a vigorous hold, that
year by year DEBORAH may grow
stronger in this field of scholastic
a ctiyities
