LUsITANIA SUNK BY GERMANS
Lives of Grew aud 1858 Passengers
Endangered by German TOrpe-
does. Many Americans Aboard.

London, May THE Cunard line
steamer Lusitania, from New York
May for Liverpool, with 1858 pas
sengers on board, was torpedoed at
about ? o'clock this afternoon at
point about 10 miles of Oldhead
Kinsdale, Ireland, and later went
down.
1t is believed that her passengers
are safe No details of how they
may have been rescued are at hand
One message received said ut
is not known how many of the pas
sengers were saved" II was sent
from Queenstown. If she floated
reasonable length of time before go
ing down, it is possible that some of
the rescuing ships got to her side
1t is believed that the Lusitanias
water tight bulkheads would tend
to keep her afloat.
Two hundred of the passengers on
board the Cunarder were transfer
red to- her from the steamer Gene
ronia before she left New York.
The presence of German subma-
rines in the transatlantic lanes of
travel has been indicated by the
sinking, during the past few days,
Of other British vessels off the coast
of Ireland.
II was the Lusitania which, last
February made use of the Ameri-
can flag to protect her from possi-
Bile attack on the part of the Ger
man undersea boats. The report
received here says the liner was
eight miles Off the Irish coast when
she went down.
Washington, May 7-Should any
Americans lose their lives the case
would be covered, officials thought,
by the warming to Germany that she
would be held in that event by the
United States ito a strict accounta-
bility."
6ffcials did not believe there
would be any complications, how
ever, unless American lives were
lost.
A few days ago American officials,
heard privately from personal cor
respondents that Germany intended
to destroy the Lusitania at the first
opportunity to terrorize British
shipping and restrict ocean com
merce with the allies.
II was taken for granted by Off
cials here that if there existed a
plan in the German admiralty to
torpedo the Lusitania every precau-
ton had been suggested.

THE MEMS FASHIONS.
What the Men Will Wear Easter i'm
Line OF Fashionable Clothes.

That the women will have to look
to their laurels in the Easter Par
ade" is indicated by the careful
preparation for Easter made by a
rapidly growing number of men.
An angle of mems clothing for
spring is the quantities of imported
fabrics being shown. The struggle
over seas doesn't seem to have af-
fected the fabrics up to now. Glen
Urquharts and Tartans are among
the favorites, although the stripes
are holding on strongly.
In cut the tendency is toward
broad lapels, form fitting backs and
straight hung trousers; and away
from padded and stiff-fronted coats.
One standard suit style that is
very popular with young men has
a thirty inch coat with soft front.
The back fits in at the waist; and
has a vent. OF the three buttons
the top one is to be left open, to
allow proper roll to the broad, not
ched lapels. The waistcoat has eth
er a roll collar or none at all, and
has five buttons. The trousers are
medium English effect, hanging in
straight lines and having a narrow
cuff.
Hats offer wide variety; stiff
and soft. In the soft hats a medi-
UNI crown with a rolled brim seems
a little ahead in popularity, parti-
cularly among the younger men.
Diagonal stripes, some of them
quite wide, seem to have the call in
the early showings of spring neck
wear. A large number of bows, in
mixed colors, are being shown.
Everything in shirts seems to in
cline toward plain, soft effects; few
tucks or plaits are shown. 1t looks
like a big season on silks and flan-
nels. In colorings there is an i'm
mense variety with new and odd
patterns and color combinations.
This seasons shoes show flat
soles, in a rather narrow effect and
low, flat heels. The cloth top is
gaining in favor.

Marriage Yesterday.

Yesterday morning at the parson-
age of the M. E. church, fReyaG. S.
Lakeland officiating, occurred the
marriage Of Mr.. John G. Dell and
Miss Grace Makepeace. The bride is
a daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. w. G.
Makepeace, who reside mile and a
half west of DEBORAH, and is one of
Winneshiek county's very best young
ladies. She has been a successful
and popular school teacher for the
past five years, and her friends
throughout the county are legion.
The groom is a well known young
farmer of Howard county, gentle
man of sterling worth and character
and well worthy of the charming
bride he has won. Mr.. and Mrs. Dell
departed yesterday on a honeymoon
trip to Minneapolis, and on their re-
turn will make their home on a fine
farm near Cresco, where the best
wishes of many friends go with them.

You can well be, for so am /.
However, I'll refrain from the sin
this time if you'll tell me how to

well, dear soul, l can help you
in that simple matter. Just drop a
brass button or any bright object in
to the bowl of the lamp. Then watch
for it to bob into sight just before
the oil reaches the danger line. Even
a ten-cent piece will do, if you are

sene can spout-for it "can spout,

Rev. Schmidt Resigns Passionate.

Rev. Otto E. Schmidt, who has
been the popular and efficient pastor
of the United Lutheran church il
DEBORAH since December 1907, re-
signed the pastorate last Sunday
morning, much to the surprise and
sorrow of his parishioners. During
his years of labor with this congre-
CATION Rev. Schmidt has endeared
himself to his people and they were
1oath to part with his services. The
reason Rev. Schmidt resigned is be,
cause of the fact that he has had
charge of the experimenting of the
Aasa Haugen Old Peoples Home
since the building was started and
he felt that the institution needed
all of his time and it was his desire
to see it put on a successful and sub
stantal foundation, and his time will
be taken up for several years with
the institution. The home has eight
inmates now, and seventeen more
are coming soon.

Making the Target.

Two Irishmen arranged to fight
duel with pistols. One of them
was distinctly stout, and when he
saw his lean adversary facing him
he raised an objection. "
Bedad! he said, I'm twice as big
a target as he is, so l ought to stand
twice as far away as he is from me.
Be aisy now, replied his second,
I'll soon put that right.
Taking a piece of chalk from his
pocket he drew two lines down the
stout mans coat, leaving space be-
tween them.
Now, he said, turning to the other
man, fire away, we spalpeen, and re-
member that any hits outside that
chalk line don't count. -H

w. +. BAKER ELECTED MAYOR.
Big Vote Was POlled at the Election
Monday.

Decorah's city election was held
on Monday and over 900 voters were
out and cast ballots for their Tavor-
lite candidates. The fight for the
mayors office was interesting and
both candidates worked hard. Mayor
Baker was elected over his opponent,
Mr.. N. R. Croft by majority Of $50.
1t was a warm race and nobody
seemed to be able to pick the win
ner, for in elections nowadays it
seems impossible to get an exact line
on just what the voters may or may
not do.
AS usual there was quite a race
on for Alderman at Large. 1t was
three cornered affair with c. E.
Mckinney, Peter Jensen and Geo.
Is. Evanson in the field. The two
former Aldermen were elected by a
good vote. Mckinney received a
majority of 17S over Jensen and Jen-
sen received a majority of 29O over
Mr.. Evanson.
In the first, second, third and
fifth wards the candidates for alder
man had no opposition. In the first
G. N. Kjome received 100 votes; B.
j. Mckay 81 in the second; Richard
Bucknell 127 in the third and Atty.
C. S. Boice 106 in the fifth.
In the fourth ward there was a
contest on, l.. B. Willis winning out
by majority of 15S over E. F.. Sell
man.
| For Assessor John Hargreaves
won by a majority of 440 over his
opponent, Mr.. Draper, of the West
Side.
For City Treasurer President E. J..
Curtin of the Citizens Savings Bank
was elected with 721 votes. ~
President l.. b. Whitney of the Ma
tional Bank of DEBORAH was elected
City Park Commissioner BY $50
votes. . s.
The library proposition carried
by handsome majority. There were
I1012 votes cast on the proposition,
756 for and 256 against, thus CIV
ing the proposition a majority of
500 votes. The ladies voted on this
proposition, and it seemed rather
good to see the fair ones out eXer-
cising their rights at the polls. In
the first ward there were 242 votes
for and rs against the proposition.
4 We didn't get the number of ladies
voting in this ward, but We under
stand there were about 80, ALI for
the proposition. In. the SECOND
ward 81 men voted for it, 3S against;
% women for it; the third ward
showed 1913 men for it and 81
against it, while 81 women voted
yes; the fourth ward $50 men Tor it
IS against, and 100 women for it;
the fifth ward showed rs men. for

Advertising managers have come
to the point where they are consider
ing something more than circulation.
The quality of that circulation counts.
The medium which reaches the best
people is most to be desired, as a
greater proportion of it's readers are
more liable to develop into custom
ers. The best people read the best
paper. Therefore the newspaper
man editing the best paper will be
the one whose paper will live
and the one who will succeed, says

PROHIBITION OF
RED CROSS GOODS

Washington. Dec. ga statement
was issued by the British embassy
here tonight denying that Great Brit
am had extended to hospital supplies
OF al kinds its prohibition against
the shipment to the Teutonic coun-
tries of such supplies made OF rubber.
Difficulties encountered by the
American Red Cross in obtaining per-
mits for the passage Of hospital stores
have been brought to the attention Of
the state department and yesterday it
was learned that the department had
communicated with the London for
eien office seeking to facilitate the dis
patch of large quantities of goods &C.

quarters of the Red Cross Officials of
the society say they have been unable
to obtain permits for the shipments of

this situation is a result of some mis-
understanding which now may be
cleared away.

ESTABLISHMENT
OF PAPER MONEY
MEXICO PROBLEM

Ell Paso, Tex, Dec. 24.-The most
pressing problem Of the Carranza
de facto government of Mexico today
in its newly acquired Villa territory
is the establishment of paper curren-
cy on a basis that will insure its ac-
ceptance by former Villa soldiers.
Last nights disorder in Juarez was
the result Of the discovery that there
was no silver in sight. Preparations,
however, had been made for an out
break. and it was speedily put down
after a show of arms in the street.
The presence of agents of a party
working in opposition to the de facto
government was indicated when I'M
official notice was given that two
Americans were meddling in Mexican
politics in Juarez. They were ordered
to remain on the American side.
The American State department has
been requested to make strong repre-
sentation to Obregon on the detention
of the four American employees of the
Hearst ranch near MADEIRA as we'll as
upon the danger to $4,000 head of cat
tie on the ranch and upon the pos
sibility of destruction of the Pearson
interests at MADEIRA.
The de facto government today is
conducting Juarez affairs from Ell
Paso. the former Villa generals being
left to handle the Juarez situation I'M
