We have so many new values IN
our Readto.Wear department that
we only have space to mention them.
We have just received lot of
Children's Coats in blues, that are a
little different, and in extra good
values.
Nearly every express is bringing
new Coat values into the depart
ment. We received today some spe-
cial new values in LADIES' full length
Coats.
Never were we able I'd show so
full line OF popular Coat values
as we have at present. These are
Coats where there are only one of
a kind, each one good model, and
still little different than the otn-
ers. If you are not ready TO buy
and want to see the new styles,
come in and try them on. Many
people do not care for the new cut
of Coat at first, but after they have
seen them on, and get a little ac-
customed to them, the style appeals
to them as the best they have seen
for many seasons. You should see
this line of popular Coats.

ANOTHER TRAIN ADDED.
Milwaukee Puts on Extra Morning
Train Which Meets With APP
prevail of Travelling Public.

Monday the Milwaukee added
another morning train which has
met with the general approval of the
travelling public. The first train ar
rives as usual at S:15 and departs
at 9:10. The new train added re-
turns to DEBORAH at 1850 and leaves
again at 1906, making connections
for the north, south and east. 1t
eliminates that long, wait at Calmar
for passengers to Minneapolis, and
other points. The 1870 afternoon
train has been taken off. The after
noon passenger arrives at 800
o'clock, and brings passengers from
the north, taking them on at Con-
over, so that connection has been
made better also. This train de-
parts again at 1885, and the rest of
the schedule is the same as before.
In letter to one of our business
men from Supt. j. H. Foster, of
Minneapolis, he stated that it was
the desire and wish of the road to
accommodate the people of DEBORAH
in the best manner possible, and this
new train signifies their good inten-
ton, because il was just what was
needed.

The people of DEBORAH were
greatly shocked this morning when
news came of the death of Conduc-

Minneapolis at $3.50 o'clock this
morning. He was on his run between
Minneapolis and Mendoza yesterday
as usual, but died early this morning

to obtain further particulars. For
a good many years Conductor Collins
had the run between DEBORAH and
Calmar, and his genial, courteous,
kindly disposition made him the

Saturday.

News of the accidental death OF
Leonard Thorson, of Ossian, broth
er-in-law of Ned Vance of DEBORAH,
reached here Saturday evening, the

in company with Rob Vance of Os-
sian had gone to Oelwein on Thanks
giving to visit for a few days. On

load entering young Thorson's stom-
ach. He lived four hours after
wards. 1t was a distressing and I'M
fortunate accident and the sympathy

BASKET BALL WEDNESDAY.
Luther College Will Play Opening
Game of Season With Luther
College.

The basket ball season at Luther
College opens this year in contest
with Lenox college of Hopkinton
Iowa. The Lenox team has always
proved itself strong on the Luther
floor, but the first game of the season
is always the hardest to predict. 1t
must be remembered that football is
played at Lenox, which of all athlet-
les is most helpful to basket ball,
because it tends to give wind, speed,
and teamwork-the main requisites
of basketball. Therefore a good
team is to be expected from Lenox
at this early date.
1t can be predicted that I,Lthes
will have an excellent team. With
Capt. Gigstad, I.oftnes, Seebach and
Henderson, last seasons stars, back
in the game, there is plenty Of ma
terial Capt. Gigstad has worked
his men hard for the last month and
a half in order TO get his team Up to
the necessary standard.
Since both teams have the best CT
prospects a good game is to be ex-
pected. You all know the spirit oil
a Luther team when in action and
if you wish to see a snappy hard
fought contest attend the game. with
Lenox, Wednesday Dec. 10, at Luth-

And / seek its peace at the close of

Methinks on your face heavens light

Can you show me the road to Para

Its trees and flowers. The songs
there sung
By the angel host are echoing still
In my heart and soul. But / pray you,
will
You show me the way that | now
must go,
For I'm seeking the truths that all
men know"
"Oh, little brother, tbs rough and
long
For tender feet to travel on;
And the truths men know will not
compare
With the secrets you and the angels
share.
For his soul must bow, and his
heart must break
Who will travel mans road for
truths own sake"
For the way that's weary | have
song;
Ill soon forget that the road is long.
The angels secrets will help me
know
The truths of men, as / journey. So
Come you with me where the sun
light lies.
We will find us the way to Paradise. ;"

There will be two class plays given
next year by graduates of the De-

nine graduates in the first semester
which ends this month, and class
play and exercises will be held the
third week in January. At the end
of the second semester in June, 90
will graduate, IL boys and II girls,
one of the largest classes in years.
And the fact that eleven young men
will graduate certainly speaks well
for the boys, because in most classes
they are generally outnumbered to
a large degree by the girls.

Another Chimney Fire.

A small chimney fire in the 4th
ward at the Thos. Logsdon home
called the fire department out about
500 o'clock last evening These
chimney fire alarms are nuisance
and of course in some cases cannot
be avoided, but we think the calling
of the department for every little
scare is unnecessary. And in many
instances the alarm Is turned in by
young fellows, who seemingly wan
