LED DOUBLE LIFE.
Wife Deserter Exposed When Ar
rest is Ordered by His Wife.

New Hampton, Ia, Sept.-Posing
as an unmarried man and paying at
tention to several of New Hampton's
most highly respected young women
while he was being awaited by his
wife and child at home, is the story
of the double life led by F. d. Kelly,
who had been employed as undertake
er and embalmer at the Murphy Fur
niture Co. of this city. Tuesday
night word came to the sheriff order
ing his arrest on the charge of wife
and child desertion, and ordering
his return to his home at Montezu-
ma. When arrested he begged to be
kept out of Jail and to keep the
knowledge from the newspapers, as
he wanted to come back here and
take back his job" There is a gem
eral sentiment of Indignation here at
his fraudulent life.

Teaching the People to Drive.

There has been an attempt by the
city officials the past week to place
the traffic on the principal business
streets of DEBORAH on a modern and
safe basis. Traffic conditions are vast
ly different now than even year
ago, completely revolutionized, in
fact, and in order to safeguard the
people as much as possible strict
traffic rules are necessary even in
the smaller cities. With the large
number of autos on the streets at all
hours of the day and until late at
night, it is highly important that
everybody follow the only safe rule
Of keep to the right
DEBORAH has been exceptionally
fortunate in the few accidents that
have occurred, but unless people gen.
orally are more careful there will
be terrible toll to pay some OF
these days. Automobiles as rule
are more careful imam uIlNcIo Va
horses and pedestrians. All should
follow the keep to the right rule
carefully, especially in turning the
street corners. Never cut around
the corner to the left, but always
drive to the opposite side or the
street,-to the right corner-Defore
making the turn, and there will then
be little danger.
Pedestrians will also have to
learn to cross the street at street
corners only, where they are expect
ed to cross, and to keep close watch.
This may seem strange TO people
who have been in the habit Of doing
just as they pleased all their lives,
but it is the only safe way, and the
rule will be enforced so far as posi-
BILE.

Another Wreck Narrowly Missed.

The Rock Island narrowly escap-
ed another very serious wreck on it's
Decorah-Cedar Rapids line satur-
day. A trestle bridge near Rowley
caught fire and the supports were en-
tirely burned out so that there was
practically nothing but the ties and
rails left. 1t was hazy and the bridge
burned slowly and in all probability
it would not have been seen by the
engine crew. The train was luckily
a half hour late, and the bridge was
discovered on fire by a farmer, who
telephoned to Rowley just In time
to stop the late train. 1t was bad
place and had the train run onto
this bridge doubtless the toll would
have been heavy in human life. 1t
was several hours before sufficient
repairs to pass over the bridge could
be made.

Try This Game


There's a new game called
Tickle the Editor. You take
an ordinary sheet of writing pa
per on which you pen a few
lines suitable for the occasion.
Next you fold it carefully, en-
closing in the fold a check or
a postoffice order sufficiently
large for all arrearages and a.
year or more in advance and
hand it to the editor. Keep an
eye on him, and if a smile adorns
his face, the trick works fine. 1t
can be played by mail. Now is
the time to play the joke.

Dear Judge Lilly:
| write to>say that all who have
seen the Souvenir program for
the Dedicatory services, pro-
nounce it a work of art. 1t is a
fine specimen of the printers
craft. That is as creditable piece
of work as any town in Kentucky
the size of Richmond, can pro-
duce. Indeed, it is not worth
while for any of our citizens to
seek farther for fine artistic
printing than right here in our
own city. When the price is
considered, we believe a more
satisfactory piece of work than
these programs could not be
| furnished in either Cincinnati or
Louisville. Good print shops
are a valuable asset to any COM
munity. When | find one | am
always glad to say SO.
Yours truly,
E. B. BARNES.
