THE BLACK TRAIL.
New Automobile Trail Marked Out
of Decorah.

The above is the name of a new
automobile trail which was started
out of DEBORAH last night. Ben Bear
and John Bradish, assisted 0y
Messrs. Edward Bear, John Alstad
and John Holm started the trail at
the Kornmeyer livery corner on
Washington and Main streets. The
gentlemen marked the telegraph
poles from this corner half way to
Ridgeway last night. The marks are
one black one in the center and
white on top and bottom. At differ
ent intervals on the trail where an
X shows, it means danger, and TO
slow up. An "R" and IL" also ap-
pears on different posts, which means
right and left. The gentlemen will
finish the route to Cresco in this
manner, and then to Calmar and
Ossian. 1t is expected that resi-
dents of Calmar and Ossian will
extend the markings out of their re-
spective towns.
The trail out of DEBORAH leads
from the Kornmeyer livery down
Washington street to the G. +. Baker
corner, and then past the school
house and out.

DEBORAH MAN BROWNS.
August Olson Taken With Cramps
While in Swimming.

Yesterday afternoon between three
and four o'clock, August Olson went
swimming in the creek between the
Ed Blount and Ed Beard farms.
The place chosen was under the
bridge between these two farms. A
number of smaller boys were in with
him. He was seized with cramps and
drowned before he could be rescued.
Coroner Jewell and Sheriff Filing
son and Deputy Bucknell went to
the scene of the drowning, but no in
quest was held as the drowning was
purely accidental. The body was TAX
en- to the undertaking rooms of Will
lis & Ness.

Mrs. Ole Olson of DEBORAH, and was
born in Norway about 80 years ago,

his life in this city. The family have
the sympathy of all in their bereave-
ment.

The Woldum Motor Car Co. of De-
corah are now occupying the Void
ing garage on Main street. They
have just taken the agency for the
Oakland car, six cylinder, which
will sell at 1886 including freight.
They have sold 80 MaYwells SO far,
and this car has dropped from
1885, to $3.50, including freight, and
at the new prices they find it hard
to get enough cars.
They expect a shipment of Oak
lands any day now. With the Max
we'll and Oakland selling at such low
prices Woldums will have all they
can do in the automobile line this
season.

Visited Camp Cedar.

II NJ. Cummings and family and
Miss Ethel Osman autoed down to
Camp Cedar Sunday near the lower
power dam and visited with Mr.. and
Mrs. P. H. Schlatter and Mr.. and
Mrs. Arthur Johnson who are in
camp there. They report an enjoy
able time. We understand that Mr..
Schlatter took some old pieces Of
leather from his harness shop, and
as Mr.. Johnson is a banker, we
presume he is using few old paper
bills, in an effort to catch a few fish,
They are both expert fisherman, bat
the latest reports are that they have
only landed a few carp, and are very
anxious for a fish wagon to pass that
way so that they can have it to say
that they had some great fish feeds
while at camp.

WHAT NOT TO PRINT.

Once in a while somebody gets
the idea that the reason the local
paper does not report every scan
dial that comes to public knowledge
is because the publisher is afraid.
That's not the reason. The reputa-
BILE newspaper, especially in small
town where everyone is a neighbor
to everybody else, takes no delight
in giving publicity to those things
that have brought disgrace to some
family or>heartache to some wife or
mother. 1t is much more pleasant
to record the good things that hap
pen, to tell about the incidents that
tend to make life more endurable,
and that uplift rather than tear
down, that brings joy instead OF sor-
row, pride instead of heart-ache. So
if you don't always find in the Pub
lie Opinion the delectable bit of
gossip that would doubtless make
good reading" and if you are in
clined to blame the editor because
he doesn't print all the news" con-
slider that some home has had
enough worry over unfortunate hap
penings, and that the gossips and
scandal mongers of the community
can and will gladly and ghoulishly
give sufficient publicity to the details
to satisfy the lowest tastes.

Meals Will Cost More.

gardless of the fact that it was going
to be reduced by the new admins
tration After July IS meals in the
DEBORAH restaurants will cost more
money. Most of the restaurants have
been serving a regular dinner for
Csc, but in the future this particu-
lar dinner will cost 35c. Oyster
stews will cost 80 cents, and there
will be a slight raise along other
lines of service. Well it is a cinch
that we can't quit eating and we
guess the new prices will fit in al
right. Two or three commodities re-
main the same, circus lemonade,
peanuts and popcorn, five cents per.

BALL PLAYERS PRAYER.

Lord, help me to play the game,
1t matters not to you whether / am
talented or poor in natural gifts;
wealthy or starving; a leader among
men or simple follower, so that l
play the game as you would have 1t
played Help me to keep my batting
eye on the ball, that the curve OF
temptation not deceive me. Keep my
feet in the path of righteousness, that
may touch second and third on my
way round the bases. Help me TO
beat out my bunts, and hold me that
! stray not too far from a base when
the catcher is ready to peg me.
Count not my fouls against me, o
Lord, for the batting eye goes wrong,
though the intention is right. Help
me in the pinches, Lord, because a
good bingle might bring my brother
home. Let not the music of the
fans keep my eye from the ball, nor
the enticements of the slabman draw
me away from the need of clean
single with a man on second Help
me, o Lord, to bat over 800, because
my eyes are on the big league for
eternity even while / sojourn here
among the bush leaguers.

Some people never fail to bend
their backs to pick up pin, and yet
let the dollars slip right through
their fingers without even a blink,
they grasp at the shadow while the

OF a pin is facing you 1T is supposed
to be good luck to pick 1t up.
But there are greater values and
better opportunities for luck than in

search for pins. Read the ads in

Soon liter the out breal OF the war
soE ! a12 y die sailed from Rhiladel-
phia IN the s1oop of war Wasp
ssttngingi insects being then very popu-
lar as names for naval vessels. The
Wasp captured the British sloop
Frohc, and BiddIe was placed in
charge OF the prize. He had the mis-
fortune to lose his command very
soon, however. as both ships were
taken by the Poictiers and carried to
Bermuda. Upon returning to the con.
tinent Biddle was placed in command
OF 1otilla of gunboats on the Del
aware, but was soon afterward trans
ferred to the Hornet. For several
months his ship was blockaded in
the harbor of New London, but Biddle
obtained permission to try to escape,
and was successful In running the
gauntlet Of the British vessels.
Biddle then joined a feet com
manded by Decatur, destined to cruise
in the East Indies. He sailed from
New York in January of 1915, and
while off the coast Of Brazil fell in
with and captured the Penguin.
Captain Biddle performed an import
ant service for his country in 1916,
when, as commander OF the East India
squadron, he concluded the first
treaty between the United States and
Canada. He died in Philadelphia In
184S.
The battle between the Hornet and
the Penguin practically ended the war,
although as late as the following July
Captain Warrington, In command Of
the Peacock, captured the Nautilus
in the Straits OF Sunda. A day later
the news of peace reached Captain
Warrington, and he released his prize.
To Warrington, and not Biddle, there
fore belongs the distinction Of having
fired the last shot of the war between
the United States and Great Britain.
