MITCHELL FARMS SOLD.
Sale of Bucktown Land Attracted
Large Crowd to Court
House Yesterday.

| The sale at the Court House door
yesterday afternoon of the Mitchell
farms, iCe ated in Bucktown district,
attracted large number of persons,
| many of whom were there for the
purpose of buying, while others wer
| there to enjoy the sale. The sum of
| $4,000 was realized for the portion
offered, winch consisted of three
tracts, known as the James Smith
tract, which contained 389 acres of
land altogether; the Frank Loves
Robertson tact, which contained 1873
acres, and the Isaac Lowe tract,
which contained 345 acres. The
Smith farm was sold to Mr.. James
Smith, for $4,000; the Frank Lowe
tract to Judge Thomas B. Windsor,
for $4,000, and the Isaac Lowe
tract 20 w. Irving Mace, agent, for
$4,000.
There yet remains of the entire
tract the woodland, which is esti-
mated to be worth from $4,000 to
$4,000.
This property was purchased sew
eral weeks ago of the heirs, who I've.
in Cecil county, by Comptroller
Emerson C. Harrington, Register of
Wills Russell P. Smith, w. Grason
Winterbottom and BENZ. Harrington.
The purchase price was said to
have been in the neighborhood of
$4,000, so that these gentlemen
have realized a very nice profit.
This is due to the fact of their.
buying right. for the land has long
been recognized as portion of the
finest lands to be found anywhere.

GREAT time SAVING.
Trip From Baltimore Several Hours
Shorter Than Formerly.

Apropos of the great improve
ments that have taken place in the
train and boat service between
Cambridge and the larger cities
within the past few months, it is
interesting to note the fact that
passengers may leave Cambridge
at SIS a. m. and be in Baltimore at
1.20 p. M, making the trip via Hur-
lock and Claiborne; or they may
go all the way around by train and
arrive in Baltimore at 1913 p. NJ,
and in Washington at Las p. M,
they can reach Broad Street Station,
Philadelphia, at 1910 p. m.
BY leaving Cambridge at 1.33 p.
m, one may arrive in Baltimore at
1903 p. M, and in Philadelphia, at
Broad Street Station, at 6.18 pm,
and in New York, at the Hudson
Terminal, at $40, while Washing
ton can be reached by $40 p. m.
The difference in time between
Baltimore and Cambridge is even
greater, as one can make the trip
now in six hours by boat; this is
done by leaving Baltimore at 11.3O
p. M, after the theatres close, and
coming by way of the w. B. & A.
electric line to Annapolis, from
which place the City of Milford
leaves about half-past twelve, and
lands passengers in Cambridge, un-
der normal conditions, at half-past
five the following morning. Under
the old schedule of the B., G. & A;
in fact, under the present schedule,
the time of leaving Baltimore is
6 p. M, and passengers do not ar
rive home until a. M, or later, the
following morning.

PALzER CHAMPION IN YEAR.
DecOrahian Expects to Have Few

In a letter received last week by
Ed Rossley from All Palzer written
at Perham, Mimi, the Iowa fighter
states that he is feeling as fine as
he ever has and will start back east
about July 21st, when he will begin
training for his fight with Frank
Moran. This will possibly take
place on Labor day. On his way
back he will stop off at Minneapolis
a few days, where he will visit some
friends. His next fight will be with
George Carpenter, ct Paris, France.

don't think so much of the big smoke
since his fight with the federal gov

that Johnson has departed for
France safely, a fight between him
and Palzer is not unlikely. Palzer
says he will win all these fights and
be champion of the world within a
year. AS sparring partners he will
have Carl Morris and Sam McVey.
The black fighter will be able to keep
him from getting overweight while
training. Mr.. Tom O'Rourke, Pal
zer's manager, has also taken Carl
Morris under his wing and has some
fights scheduled for him, so it will
be a great working aggregation
when these men get busy pounding
each other around. Palzer's many
friends in DEBORAH are feeling much
elated to hear of his splendid condi.

IMPROVE FREEpORT ROAD.
City and County Will Join i'm Re-
building Sand Road South of
Poor Farm.

Arrangements have been made
whereby the City of DEBORAH and
Winnesihek county will join in the
permanent improvement of the
road leading from Trout Run to
Freeport, past the county farm. 1t
is well known fact that the stretch
Of road along the south end of the
poor farm is one of the worst in the
county, on account of the deep sand,
and also that this is one of the most
used highways in the county. For
some years the necessity Of improv-
ing this has been evident, but other
roads leading into DEBORAH have been
demanding the expenditure of large
sums of money. Now the City of De-
corah will contribute part of its high
way improvement fund to be placed
with county funds and have this
road improved, under the plans and
specifications furnished and under
the direction of the county engineer,
which insures a fine driveway where
now it is next to impossible. 1t is
proposed to have the road thoroughly
graded and drained, and build a road
with thirty-siX foot base and twen-
ty-four foot top, covered with clay,
which will be secured from the Hat
tlestadt hill east of this road. This
will make without doubt the most
popular driveway out of DEBORAH,
as it is practically the only level one,
and everybody will be happy that at
last it is to be improved.
Other roads leading to DEBORAH
which have been substantially i'm
proved this year are the Burr Oak
and Bluffton roads. The road to
Burr Oak is now in fine condition
the hills having been cut down, the
low road south of the Haas farm
placed on the hillside, the SHARP
curves widened, and all smoothed on,
| in good shape. The Bluffton road
between DEBORAH and B. E. JEWELS
has been partly recovered with gray
ell, and in front of his farm has beer
built along the hillside, greatly i'm
proving it. The road north to Lo
Gust is also being overhauled along
the Pattee hill. Roads leading into
DEBORAH are now all in fairly good
condition, save the Freeport road.

The mark of the little muddy

shadow that darkens the mothers

THE OPENING ATTRACTION.
"TruXtOn King, a Beautiful Came
dy, Will be Produced Here Sept.
Fourth.

The management of the Grand
opera house has secured "Truxton
King as the attraction for the open
ing of the house September 4th. The
play will be put on at DEBORAH by
the same producer as brought us
Sarah Padden in "Kindling." A
peculiar interest attaches to this
beautiful comedy, from the fact that
the scene is laid in the Balxen terri
tory, that is being watched at pres
ent by the whole world.
Il have created a mani" cries the
impassioned author And truly the
layman does not realize the wonder
full feeling that fills the heart of him
who does actually create.
The person who writes books of
plays feels his creation as if they
were living, breathing men and wo-
men. If he did not feel the hot blood
coursing through the veins of his
characters how could he make them
real, to live and love in life through
the pages of his book?
Mr.. George Barr McCutcheon, who
is probably the most successful
American author of popular novels,
really lives with his creations. He
is known to be one of the fastest
in nvi
est is not used here as an illustration
OF gilded existence but as velocity
of authorship. He is said to be able
to complete an entire novel in a very
few days time. To be able to &C
complish this feat it is necessary for
him to live along with his characters.
Some authors scott at the idea of
McCutcheon' quick work but it is
truth. No one can deny that he
draws his characters perfectly. Take
his book Of "Graustark. Where
can you find more lovable charac-
ter than Baron Dangloss, a more
beautiful creation than Princess Ye-
tive, more hold and swagger a man
than Grenfall Lorry, and more
despicable person than Lorenzo
And again in 'Truxton King, how
broad his comedy with Hobbs, how
weird his deviltry with the witch
and how perfectly delightful his
two lovers, Truxton King and Lor.
raine Tullis. In this same book he
has reached out into Mother Goose
land and plncked the fairest crea-
ton of all-little Prince Robin, the
baby-ruler of Graustark. This latter
story has been made into dramatic
form by Miss Grace Hayward and
is hailing our direction. We will
see it Sept 4th. 1t is truly great to
feel that one can create life-mythi-
cal life as it were-but just the same
living, loving, breathing humans.

Three Locations.

At the regular meeting of the

contracts were let to Mr.. j. P.
Greene of Albert Lea, Mimi, for ap-
proximately $500 feet of new city

five bidders and that of MIR. Greene
was the lowest. Work has already
started and will be pushed forward
as rapidly as possible until finished.
With these additions water service
will be extended to nearly every
available portion of the city, there
being only a few isolated parts of
town yet to be reached with the
mains.
The extensions ordered in at once
are as follows: From Water street
north on Mill street, across the race
and one block west on the north
side of Bridge street.
In West DEBORAH, one block west
of present mains on Fifth Avenue

Did you tackle that trouble that
came your way
With a resolute heart and cheer
full?
Or hide your face from the light of
day
With a craven soul and fearful?
0 troubles ton, or troubles
an ounce,
Or a trouble is what you make it.
And it isn't the fact that you're hurt
that counts,
But only, how did you take it?
You are beaten to earth? Well what
of that?
Come up with smiling face.
It's nothing against you to fall down
fiat.
But to lie there-that's disgrace
The harder you're thrown, why the
higher you bounce;
Be proud of your blackened eye!
1t isn't the fact that you're hit that
counts,
It's how did you Highland why?
And though you be done to death,
what then?
If you battled the best you could
If you played your part in the world
of men,
Why the critics will call it good.
Death comes with a crawl, or comes
with a pounce,
And whether he's slow or spry,
1t isn't the fact that you're dead
that counts,
But only, how did you die?-Sel

these pillars are 21 feet, in. high,
have a diameter of 2 feet in. at the
bottom and 2 feet 2 in. at the top
and weigh around ton. An idea
of the appearance of the front can
be had from the work finished so
