Queer Kansas Man.

An lola man received the usual
number of statements of accounts on
the first of the month. Being a
queer chap, he did not call them
duns and become angry and intimate
that the men he owed were afraid he
would not pay. On the contrary, he
regarded the credit extended to the
first of the month as a distinct favor
as he could then collect what was
owing him and meet his own bills
more easily. Furthermore, when he
discovered "a charge on one state
ment which he believed he had paid
before he never cussed anybody. He
paid the account less 81, being
courteously granted time to look up
his checks. When he found a re-
ceipted bill covering the 81 charge,
do you think that he went tearing in
to the mans place of business and
limited that he was a thief and was
trying to rob him? Not so. He was,
as stated, a queer chap. He sub
mitted his evidence. the unintention-
al error was corrected, and every
body was good-natured and remained
good friends.

Advertising is Refused.

Public Opinion yesterday refused
contract for over $4,000 worth OF
advertising for single concern. II
was gilt-edged contract, display adj
vertising at % cents per inch, our
highest rate, and a staple article OF
universal use. We refused it simply
because the advertised article is sold
by two local firms. Public Opinion
has always stood by DEBORAH and its
business concerns and intends to dc
so as long as these concerns stand
by Public Opinion. We are offered
thousands of dollars worth of adver.
Using every year and refuse it, be-
cause we have adopted the above pol
icy. Some say that we are foolish
but we believe in trading at home
and expect to continue to refuse such
advertising.

IN SNOW DRIFT IS HOURS.
President T.. j. Curtin of Citizens
Savings Bank, SnOwbound for
Hours Near Lafayette, Ind.

DEBORAH has enjoyed one of the
most ideal winters in years, snow be-
ing almost a curiosity. But one De-
corah resident at least, had the
pleasure? of being snowbound On
the return of President Z. j. Curtin
of the Citizens Savings Bank from a
business trip to Lexington, KY, on
last week Monday his train on the
N. Y. Central lines, was stuck in a
snowbank near Lafayette, Ind, for
sixteen hours. The train was long
pullman and had 60 passengers. 1t
left Cincinnati Sunday night and was
due in Chicago at 1880 Monday NOR
ming but didn't arrive until Tuesday
noon. Six engines went dead trying
to get the train out, and before they
pressed into use, and the train was
pulled out in sections. OF course the
steam went out when the engines
died, and the passengers were with
out food or heat for "a hours, when
a switch engine arrived from Kanka-
kee with big basket of sandwiches.
Mr. Curtin arrived home Thursday,
none the worse for his experience,
but glad to get back to Gods country
where billiards and snow blockades
seem to be thing of the past.

SWEDES ARE BEATEN.
Gustavus AdOlphus Basket Ball Play.
ers Fall Before Luther at the
Auditorium Wednesday.

The Gustayus Adalphus quintet
stopped off at DEBORAH to play Luth-
er game on their return from Rock
Island, ILL.,, where they played Au-
gustana. Gustavus came here deter
mined to win by fair means or foul
and they were frustrated in their at
tempt to do the Luther fellows up.
Harstad was laid out after few
minutes of play and Streeter was
shifted to forward, Natvig going in
for guard.
The first half ended 13 to in ia
vor of Luther. The second half
opened with a new style basket ball
if it could be called so. The Gusta-
vus men began tripping, slugging and
sticking their hands into their OPP
ponents eyes. This spoiled the game
entirely. Loftnes made six baskets
and received blue eye in return.
Capt Gigstad shot seven out of eight
free throws which is very we'll. Gus
tavus shot only three field goals be-
cause of the efficient guarding of our
guards. The final score was 81 to 10.
Gammertsfelder refereed to the sat
isfaction of all.
