Prominent Democrats at DCCorah.

Judge Buck, Of Winona, was amcng
the distinguished visitors that the
November term of court drew to our
city. Judge Buck is one of the simon.
pure, first water, Bryan Democrats. of
Minnesota. His adherence to the COM
moner was so loyal that he led the
fight for the Minnesota delegation to
Denver in 1908 when Governor John A.
Johnson was put forward as favorite
son. The judge was a candidate for
Congress against the scintillating Sid.
ney Anderson.
He now rests from his labor for four
years, at any rate, for the Secretary
Of State saw to it that the Winona
postmastership was handed to him on
"a silver platter, garnished with econ
iums on his devotion to the party.
While in the city, Mr.. Buck found q
congenial companion in Attorney Johr
McCook, of Cresco, another Bryanite,
who; stood the test Of time without
wavering. The two honored the
Journal with short call and interested
us with political anecdotes worth hear.

Of our beloved neighbor James
Kostka, of Hustler Camp, 472O, M. w.
A. Protivin, Iowa, who died at his
home on the 18th day of Nov. 1918.
Whereas, our all wise and merciful
God has seemed fit to call our beloved
neighbor from our camp fire and the
home that knew no want of love and
kindness; Therefore be it
Resolved, we bow in submission to
him who knows that which is best, and
we tender to the surviving wife and
children our heartfelt sympathy and
with the consoling hope that one so
dear to them and so true to US has left
an influence of good that will last to
the future union where the sorrows of
parting is unknown. ttss
Resolved that this expression of our
regard for our neighbor be embodied
in the records of our Camp and copy
of same to be transmitted to the fami.
ly of the deceased and published in

Opera House
DO YOU WANT 1T?

LIZ 1oO WAN -
The committee have been working
and will work as long as there is a
show of raising the money.
But whether or not we have an opera
house depends upon how bad the peo-
pie want it, and the one way that de-
sire can be expressed is by signing up
for ALL THE STOCK THEY CAN
AFFORD and not try to get by the So
iicitors with as little as possible 10
date, the.e has been $4,000 worth Of
stock subscribed for. There are quite
few more to see but if they DO not
respond more literally than some who
have been seen, and if some that have
been seen do not add to their subscrip.
tion, there will absolutely be no opera
house in Cresco for some time to come.
Now, Mr.. Citizen, if you want this
much needed building, make this affair
yours and help it in any way you can.
Out of a town of over 5000, seventy
five men have shown a desire to have
an opera house strong enough to sub.
scribe $40 or more. If you want it,
look up the committee-don' wait fol
them. Committee.

A Word About Glove Bonds

The very incest way to give gloves,
if you are thinking of that, is by giving a
Glove Bond, instead Of the gloves them
selves. We make out the certificate, good
for one or more pairs Of gloves as you
wish, and you present the certificate to
the lady. If she does not need gloves now
she keeps the Glove Bond until she is ready, then
and gets the kind and shade she wants and
gets them properly fitted. Enclose Glove Bond in
box of candy and watch the smiles.
