Hog Cholera is Raging.

Reports of the ravages of hog
cholera come from all parts of the
state, much damage being done, and
there seems to be little hope of
stopping the spread of the destructive
disease. In Howard county and the
western part of Winneshiek county
it has made its appearance, and
many farmers have lost heavily.
Fred Howard, Mr.. LETTERS, S. Sutton,
Herbert Shaffer, Guy Humphrey,
George Hill, Joe Steinmetz and Will
Cummins are reported to have lost
their entire herds, while Russell
Burr, John Lydon and Mr.. Connolly
have also had large losses. There
are said to be many others who are
losing heavily, whose names we
have not learned, and we hear also
of scattering losses throughout 9TH
er parts of the county. 1t seems to
be a difficult matter to procure the
hog cholera serum being made by
the state, though the supply may
now be larger Some appear to be
doubtful of it's efficiency, but we be-
lieve the expense of inoculating a
herd of hogs is we'll worth the trial
in any case, in such a time as this.

Successful Tour of Con.
tinent,

Sheehan and Beck's beautiful
production of THE Girl From
Mumms", the Partisan musical cock
tail, book by j. A. Lacy, lyrics and
music by Fred A. Bohnhorst, with
Miss Olive Vail, Americas foremost
mirth connoisseur, a select cast and
a picked chorus will open the season
at the DEBORAH Grand opera house
next Monday night, Sept. Sth.
The story is typical French ar
rangement, with real plot OF alb
sorbing interest, Astounding in clean
cut, brilliant comedy. The play is
constructed along new lines to amuse
and entertain from the ascent of the
curtain to the finale of the last act,
and in this the authors of both book
and score have been highly success
full. Probably no musical comedy
in the past ten years, productive as
they have been in this direction, is
comparable with THE Girl From
Mumms", in the profusion OF ciever
dialogue, sparkling tunes and trip
ping melodies, and if you have a
heart and mind for brilliant mu-
steal inspirations to set your feet GO
ing, THE Girl From Mumms' should
be your mecca.
The costuming of the play is the
most gorgeous and pretentious un-
dertaken by musical comedy produc-
ers in years. The gowns worn by
Miss Vail, are the most stunning and
costly Partisan creations of the
theatrical season, a goodly sum be-
ing invested in Miss Wallis gowns
alone.
The costumes worn by the chorus,
as we'll as the principals are not du-
plicates, but stunning, handsome
creations of French design and work.

In scenic production and electri-
cal effects, THE Girl From Mumms'
will out-rival any musical comedy OF
the season.

Answers the Final Call.

The death of Miss Laura Tavener,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. j. l. Tav-
ener at the family home in the fifth
ward on Friday noon, after an i'll
ness of only three days, was a shock
to her numerous friends and ac-
quaintances throughout the city.
She was taken suddenly i'll Monday
night with appendicitis, and grew
rapidly worse until it became evil
dent that her only chance for life
was an operation and DR.. J. r. Guth-
RE of Dubuque was sent for and with
the assistance of Drs. Thomas and
Jewell operated on Friday morning,
but none of them held out much
hopes for her recovery, and she prov
ed to be in such a serious condition
that she passed away at noon.
She was born in DEBORAH, Nov. II,
1875 and grew up here among a wide
circle OF friends who deeply mourn
her death. She was a kindly dispo-
sitioned, congenial young lady and
was universally liked. The grief
stricken family have the sincere
sympathy of all in their bereaye-
ment. The funeral services were
held from the home Monday AFTER
noon, Rev. Dr. NJ. Willett ofIiciat-

Swnt is Again.

We take all the sass the cheap ma
tions can spring, we are so intense
ly afraid that if we resented an in
suit or fling, it might have effect on
our trade They knock off our hat
and they tread on our feet and,
though we are weary and sore, we
turn with smile that is sanity and
sweet, and ask them to kick us some
more We hand out red tape TO the
pestilent chaps who kick till our
coat tails are frayed, for if we
should frown on insulters, perhaps
it would put a crimp in our trade.
1t challenged the world, once, in
dominant tones, this country now
greasy and fat! Alas for the days of
Decatur and ones, when we. scrapped
at the drop of the hat! But Com
merce is sacred; we might lose a yen
if we should get mad for while; so
come friends, and kick us, and kick
us again, and gaze on our heavenly
smile. Time was when the flag OF
this land of the free which now is
the emblem of trade, protected its
people, on land or on sea, however
remotely they strayed; but g. is
its prestige; it's dropping and SIGN,
it waves over shop-keeping men,
who never hit back when they're
sIugged with brick, so come,

The Freeport Road.

Work has been progressing steadi
ly the past month on the long stretch
of sand road extending from the
Logsdon farm at Trout Run to the
east side of the county poor farm
at Freeport. This has for years been
one of the worst pieces of road in
the vicinity of DEBORAH, and the
most travelled, and there is scarcely
anyone who is not delighted that ii
is being put in splendid condition
The work has been done by a force
of men under the supervision of E.
T. Reed, according to plans and
specifications by County Engineer
VIM. Lee. 1t has been all graded
to a level corresponding almost to
railroad grade, with deep bitches
on the sides to take care of the wat
er, and the sand covered with clay
from the poor farm. When COM
pleted and given little travel it is
expected that it will make smooth,
solid road, which will correspond
with the several other very excellent
pieces of road work done by the
county the past few years, and will
make one of the hardest stretches of
road to drive through in this vicin-
ity easy of travel. With the re-
building of the road extending east
over the sand hill south of Free
port, tand the Frankville hill road
last year, the improvement in that
part of the county has been very
commendable. The men who have
had charge of this improvement are
to be commended, for it is money
we'll spent, and will return profit
