A New Time Table.

A new time table is expected TO
go into effect on the Milwaukee
next Sunday. Local officials have
not received the official notice as
yet. 1t is rumored that No. 3
from Chicago which arrives in Cal
mar at 1885 a. m. would arrive
about one hour earlier, or in other
words just enough earlier to miss
the Chicago papers, which would
then come later in the afternoon on
the Rock Island. If the change
takes effect the train from Mime
apolis will arrive in Calmar about
l1:55 a. M, instead of 2:15 p. m.
OF course the schedule in and out
of DEBORAH will be materially
changed to conform with the arriv-
ais and departures at Calmar. AS
we said before these are only ru-
mors and next Sunday the official
change will be made known.

C. n. Houck; Vice president, DR.. H.
H. Thomas; Secretary, r. H. Tracy;
treasurer. "A. r. Johnson; Field
Captain, T. c. Johnson.
New applications for bass and
trout were ordered for their spring
shipments for stocking purposes.
A resume for the first years
work done by the members of The
club, indicates the organization has
fulfilled the purpose for which the
club was organized. During the
year six shipments of fish have been
received and distributed in Winnie
shiek Co. as follows:
$4,000 rainbow trout; stocking
Canoe creek, Trout Run, Trout
river (Smith creek), Twin Springs,
and South Fork Bear creek.
5000 black bass distributed in
various locations along the Upper
Iowa river.
1000 mixed fish, including pike,
pickerel, sunfish, blue gills, ETC.,
placed in the Upper Iowa river.
The club has been instrumental
in assisting to uphold the game
laws of the state and of the United
States, and has aroused public SEN
timent in preventing illegal fishing
and hunting, and although this
may have occurred in few instan-
ces, yet there was less the last year
than any previous year during our
memory. In addition the club has
developed a few trap shooters who
are the making of tournament men
with a little practice. The club
hopes to have it's own club house
by the next annual report. Anyone
desiring membership in the organi-
cation can obtain same by applying
to the secretary, for the fee of one
dollar annually.

New Ordinances For Decorab.

The city council is engaged in
passing complete new set of or
dinances for the city of DEBORAH.
covering all phases of city govern
ment. In his annual report the
mayor recommended that the or
dances be recodified and pub
lished, as it had been about
twenty years since this had been
done and it was difficult matter
TO determine just what the laws of
the city were. The work was turn
ed over to City Attorney j. A. Mel
son, and it has been deemed adyis-
able, for the sake Of brevity and
bringing them down to date, to
prepare a complete new set of or
dinances, as many of the old ones
were obsolete and encountered with
various amendments to serve spec
ial purposes. The work is we'll
along, and when all have been pas
sed by the council, they will be
published in book form, so that il
will be an easy matter for anyone
to learn what the city laws are.
