Ben Franklin Club Meets.

About twenty-five newspaper men
from various cities around DEBORAH,
members of the Ben Franklin Club
of Northeastern Iowa met in DEBORAH
last Friday in quarterly meeting.
The weather was anything, but pleas
ant, but nevertheless those who
braved the elements had a profitable
meeting here. A fine dinner was en-
joyed at the Winneshiek hotel at
twelve o'clock, and in the afternoon
at two, Mr. Ed E. Sheasgreen, we'll
known cost expert, gave an interest
ing talk at the Court House, where
the business meeting of the club was
held. About five o'clock the news
paper men attended display of films
at the Star showing work of The
Strathmore Paper Co. and The Mer-
genthaler Linotype Co. An auto ride
about the city was enjoyed after
supper, and most of the editors de-
parted on the S:15 Milwaukee for
their homes.

FURNACE FIRES GOING.
Our August Weather Demands Fires
and OverCoats.

1t has been many years since
August has dished up the cold wealth
er she has this year. Only four days
of the month has passed, and fires
and overcoats have been pretty
much in evidence. A great many fur
mace fires have been going for sever
al days and they feel mighty COM
Portable.
The rain gauge at the Winneshiek
County State Bank shows p inches
of rain fell here in July and so far
in August 21a inches.
The crops of Winneshiek this
year were never better in years, but
with the excessive rains it has been
almost impossible for the farmers
to do any harvesting. The cold wea-
Their has put the corn back, but with
the hay and smaller grains, it has
been a serious problem to gather it
in, and there will be no doubt con-
siderable loss to many.
The lowest temperature here has
been in the neighborhood of 60 de-
grees. This particular kind OF
weather seems general over a great
portion of the United States. At San
Francisco the highest temperature
Monday was sc degrees.

OILED ROAD COSTS Ss.65 A LOT.
That is Estimate Made by Engineer,
Who Have Investigated Costs
of Oiling.

To put a good coat of oil on 4
graded dirt road will cost about
$685. for each 60 foot front town
lot under the average conditions in
Iowa's cities and towns. That is
the estimate made by the engineer
ing extension department at Iowa
State college. To clean the road will
cost about 40 cents per lot on 25
foot street; the oil will cost about
81 per lot; applying the oil and sand
to cover the oil coat, about 50 per
lot, and the sand, about 25 cents
per lot.
1t is of little use to oil road un-
less 1t has first been well prepared.
1t ought to be we'll graded and
crowned so that it sheds water, and
then evened and packed until its
surface is firm and smooth. The oil
ling should be done when there is ne
dust on the road. There should be
no uneven places, for when oiled
they will hold water when it rains
and make mud holes.
The engineering extension depart
ment has a free bulletin on oiling
streets.

SENTENCED FROM WINNEsHIEK
Convict Contends He Was Not In
dicted Under Act Authorizing
Long Term.

John Hogan, a man now about rs
years of age who was twice arrested
in Winneshiek county some years
ago for burglaries at Nasset and
Conover, and sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary, is trying to secure his re-
lease.
The following dispatch is from
Fort Madison, where Hogan is con-
fined:
In the district court here yester-
day John Hogan, serving a double
sentence of thirty-fve years in the
state penitentiary here, instituted
habeas corpus proceedings to secure
his release. Hogan claims that the
twenty-five year portion of his long
sentence is illegal and that having
served the ten year lap he is enti-
tied to release.
Hogan was one of the first men to
Ibe received under the habitual GRIM
| inal act, which provides a sentence
of twenty-five years in addition to
the sentence for a third felony, or
against a man who has served two
prior penitentiary terms. Hogan had
served two terms at Anamosa and
when he was convicted of breaking
and entering in Winneshiek county
in 1909 he got an additional quart
err century meal ticket on the state.
He contends, and appears able to
support his contention, that the law
requires, to render man liable to
habitual criminal sentence, that his
two prior prison sentences shall have
been of three years or more each.
One of his was only two years. An
'tother contention is that he was in
dicted under the code section apply
ling only to breaking and entering,
and not under the habitual criminal
TACT, and therefore he cannot be call
ed upon to serve the twenty-five year
1sliee.
7 Hogan, since his Incarceration.
Suffered an accident which deprived
him of all four fingers of one hand.
He confidently believes he has had
his due share of punishment.
4 The habeas corpus will be heard
by Judge w. S. Hamilton tomorrow

FINE LOOKING QUARTETTE.
! Four Well Known Sons of Erin i'm
DEBORAH Have Combined Age
of 80 Years.

Monday afternoon we observed
four sedate, polished old gentlemen,
summing themselves in front of the
DEBORAH Furniture Co. and talking
over old times. They made a strik-
ing looking quartette, and they are
four of the old and well known pi-
oneers of Winneshiek county. The
quartette was composed of Luke
O'Brien, of Bluffton; Patrick Gala
CHER, James Madden and Mat Court
ney, former residents of Bluffton,
but now of DEBORAH. We enquired
about their ages and all responded
Iagreeably, with the exception of Mr..
Madden, and he put up a talk like
an old maid, and wasn't going to
tell his age. OF course Jim feels
just as young as school boy, but
after a little persuasion he came
across and placed his years on this
mundane sphere at 76. 1t is a long
long way to Tipperary, but never
theless Jim has been there, as that
is the county in Ireland where he
was born. He came to America in
1857 and to Button in 1858.
Mr.. O'Brien is the oldest of the
quartette, being 81 years, and will
soon round out his SD. He was
born in county Cavan, Ireland, and
came to America in 1856 and t.
Winneshiek county in 1864.
Mr.. Gallagher first saw the light OF
day in county Sligo, Ireland, rs
years ago. He will be 70 next Sun
day. He came to America in 1850
and settled in Button in 1854.
Mr.. Courtney is native of county
Cavan, and came to America and
Winneshiek county about 1850.
Their combined ages is $40 years
Their health is excellent, have lived
good, clean lives, and We hope they
will be with us many more years t.
come. Coming here in the early day
they knew what hard work meant
and never shirked their duty, and
today they are all going down to the
+sunset of life with a realization Of
duty performed and successes at
tanned, and with the respect of those
who have known them during tax
years of the past.

Mrs. Mott Going to Market.

Mrs. Bertha Mott, daughter Don
tie and son Walter leave Friday FOR
the dry goods markets of New York,
Philadelphia and Chicago, on their
annual fall buying expedition for
the DEBORAH and Cresco stores of
Mott & Co. Mrs. Mott has made
about thirty semi-annual trips to
these leading markets. She is an
expert buyer and nothing but the
very latest and best in the lines of
coats, suits, dresses, ETC., are ever
brought here. Before returning she
will visit the leading wholesale hous
es and make a personal selection OF
goods that viii please the most fasti-
dious. Buying in such immense
quantities as Mott & Co. does enables
her to make unusual selections and
at right prices, which of course, al
ways go to the benefit of their many
customers. No doubt many of the
new things will be here by fair
week, and the big double store will
be teeming over with handsome new
things in all departments.
