HANDSOME DENTAL PARLORs.
DIR. G. l.. TOpliff Now Has One of the
Finest Equipped Dental Offices
is the West.

A visit to the dental parlors of DR..
C. l.. Topliff, the other day, in the
Ben Bear block revealed one of the
handsCmest offices one would wish to
see. The doctor has just had his par
lors redecorated, and re-equipped
with the latest up-to-date appliances
known to the profession. The oper-
ating room has been given french
gray color scheme throughout.
The operating chair, cabinet, etc.
are beautiful pieces, the above color
being carried out in the wood and
enamel with upholstery and window
draperies to match. He has also in
stalled an electrical switch board
with instruments, and automatic air
compressor. The air being elecJrl-
cally warmed has many uses at the
dental chair This outfit also sup
plies various forms of electric lamps
for use in dental operations, electric
cauterys, cavity dryers, etc. The
dental electrical switchboard is the
latest move in the direction of pain
less dentistry and is boon to both
dentist, and patient. The outfit was
supplied by the Patterson-O' Brien
Co. of Des Moines and was installed
by their electrical expert. The COM
pany report it one of the most COM
plete Offices they have equipped in
the west. The doctor is to be con-
graduated on the beauty of the par
lors and the way they are equipped.
Although a dental Office is not just
the place to go for pleasure, never
theless we feel that the doctors
many customers will fully appreci-
ate and enjoy the many new things
he has provided in his newly re-
equipped parlors.

A Peculiar Coincidence.

Last week DR.. c. l.. Topliff receiv-
ed letter from Rochester, Mimi,
from Walter Topliff, inquiring as
to relationship, etc. The latter was
at Rochester where he underwent an
operation and While there heard of
the Topliff family of DEBORAH. The
doctor wrote him to come to DEBORAH
and he did on last Fri
day, spending Sunday here.
While near relationship could
not be definitely established
still there was enough resemblances
and characteristics to denote that he
was a relation. The Topliffs origin
ated from England and enough was
learned to show that he was one of
the descendants. His father was a
sea captain and was drowned in the
Gulf of Mexico. He has been a great
traveller, having visited all the prin-
cipal cities and states in this country,
and also Europe. In all his travels
he said that he never before heard
of a family bearing his own name
until his visit TO Rochester. A very
enjoyable visit was had and on Mon
day he departed for his home in Tar
pom Springs, Florida.

LUTHER BEATS ST OLAF.
Win Holly Contested Basket Ball
Game From Old Rivals on Mon
day Night. Score 1S to IL.

In the fiercest basket ball contest
on the Luther floor in the history of
that school Luther defeated st. Olaf
Monday night. 1t was the toughest
and fiercest game ever witnessed by
most of the spectators. Six times,
time was taken out for injured play
ers. The team st. Olaf produced was
excellent in fighting spirit and team
work. Right here Luther fell down;
their passing was poor and the team
work more so. st. Olaf started with
a three point lead which Capt. Gig
stad soon overcame. In the first half
Luther made all eight points Luther
scored For st. Olaf Engum did all
the scoring, making in all seventeen
points, five field baskets and seven
free throws. Riste the forward who
starred against Minnesota U. did not
get field goal through Harstad's
efficient guarding.
Not foul during the entire game
was called for holding on the throw
which spoiled all stellar basket
shooting throughout the contest.
Next Wednesday evening Luther
meets Augustana, one of the strong
est teams in Illinois. Luther was
DEBATED by this aggregation two
years ago, but expect to turn the
tables this time. The institution at
Rock Island always puts out very
strong basket ball team and an ex-
cellent game is assured.

Assessors on a Strike.

The assessors of the different
townships and corporations of the
county went on a strike last week,
and special meeting of the board
was called Thursday to settle the diff
ficulty, which was the fact that the
assessors felt that they were not re-

their work. The board adjusted
matters by giving 20 per cent raise
to the township assessors and 10 pei
cent raise to the corporation asses
sors. This raise is additional to the
