In the Eastern Markets.

Mrs. Bertha Mott and her son, J..
W., representing the DEBORAH. and
Cresco stores of the firm of Mott &
Co., departed on Saturday night for
Chicago, Philadelphia and New York,
where they will spend some time
making their customary preseason
selection of dry goods and ladies
furnishings for these stores. This
is custom which they have follow
ed since the inception of their bust
ness, and it's value not alone to them
but to their patronage is apparent,
for by personally making their selec-
tons of goods in the first markets,
buying large quantities for cash, and
getting just what their trade de-
mands, they are enabled to supply
their wants accurately and judicious-
ly.

WHY HESITATE?
An Offer That Involves no Money
Risk if You Accept it.

We are so positive our remedy will
completely relieve constipation, no
matter how chronic it may be, that
We offer to furnish it free of all cost
if it fails.
Constipation is commonly caused
by weakness of the nerves and mus
Giles of the large intestine. To expect
cure you must therefore tone up
and strengthen those organs and re-
store them to healthier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Order
lies on our guarantee. They are eaten
like candy, and are particularly good
for children. They seem to act di-
rectly on the nerves and muscles of
the bowels. They apparently have a
neutral action on the other organs.
They do not purge or cause incon-
venience. We will refund your money
if they do not overcome chronic or
habitual constipation and thus aid to
relieve the myriad of associate or de-
pendent chronic ailments. Try Rex
all Orderlies at our risk. Three
sizes, 1Oc, Csc and soc. Sold only at
our store-The Rexall Store. E. j..

Crosse Y. NJ. c. A. 1t will further
more be the last game on the home

capable of meeting the visitors. The
L. C. boys have been devoting their
time diligently in practicing for their
basket ball tour through northern
Iowa and southern Minnesota. This
will be a closely contested game and
worth seeing.

EIks to Give Minstrel Show.

1t has been some years since a
local talent minstrel show was given
in DEBORAH, and a committee repre-
senting the local Elks lodge is at
work preparing an entertainment of
this character, which will be given
within two or three weeks. MI. AL.
Conigisky, well known here, arrived
on Monday from Peoria, H., and
will take charge of the rehearsals
and preparations for the show. There
is some splendid local talent along

Burned by Gas Explosion.

One day last week William Marks,
employed by the DEBORAH Gas Co.,
was cleaning out the flues in the city
gas plant, when the striking of the
iron with a hammer caused a spark
which ignited the remaining gas
fumes in the fiue. He was severely
burned in the face, but his injuries
will not be permanent. AS there was
no fire and no gas being made it was
not thought that there was any dang
er in the work he was engaged in.

Luther Wins Again.

Luther College continued its rec
ord of victories in basket ball last
night, by taking Gustavus Adolphus
College of st. Peter into camp, score
81 to Is. The visitors brought a
referee by the name of McElmeel
with them whose faulty decisions
were very exasperating to the local
men, but they stood for them after
expressing their indignation, and
finally he refused to referee the re-
mainder of the game. After that
Swenson of the visitors refereed,
giving the boys a square deal, and
they piled UP the score until the
end, with the result as above. The
game was fast and furious, and Very
exciting to witness.

Work Progresses at the Dam.

Work is going along steadily these
days at the new power dam of the
Upper Iowa Power Co. The milder
weather permits the concrete work
to progress without interruption.
The concrete has been laid up to
the water line of the river, including
the base of the power house and
dam proper, and it is expected that
from now on construction work will
be more rapid, and that the dam will
be in operation early in the spring.

State NiS-Ru|e
(By Fred Whitley

The present position of municipali-
ties under legislative government is
entirely Unsatisfactory. owing to the
constant interference by state legisla-
ture in local affairs. Cities are the
pawns in national and state politics.
They are restricted in their power of
home legislation and regulation, by
periodical appropriation designated by
the general assembly, said appropria-
lions to be made. adequately would
have to be made by people with pow
er to foresee future necessities. Local
legislation is not determined by local
needs, bu thy state and national poll
teal issues. ]
corruption in the state legislature
and in city government is ENCOURAGED
by this system. Local self government
for cities is the only remedy and has
5eenA advocated by civic organizations
for years and has been already adopt
ed by the following eight states, Mis-
souri,, California, Washington, Mime
sofa, Colorado, Oregon, Oklahoma aid
Michigan. The result has been uni
formly satisfactory in these states,
and no desire has ever been, evinced
to return to legislative control The
principe mas gradually extended to
the smaller municipalities in the
states and all have shown ability to
govern themselves.
Every city needs it's own particular
Legislation, and under no form of muni-
cipal home rule will it be possible for
cities to evade their obligations to
the state. When framing a charter
for city government it is imperative
to insert a workable recall. clause as
the commission form Of municipal
control without this could become
absolute despotis1n.

About Pastry.

The paste, or dough, should be rolled

Cold Baths.
do not take an icy dip because your
dearest friend says a cold plunge every
morning makes her feel life a new
woman Perhaps your friend has more
strength than she needs and consumes
it IN this manner. But unless you are
possessed OF superabundant vigor, do
not follow her example.
The, cold bath is too strenuous for
the average woman. Another black
mark against the cold bath is that cold
water cannot pretend to cleanse the
skin. When your hands are grimy you
never think of bathing them in cold
