On the StOrk SneCial.

Mr.. and Mrs. John Rud of this
city, are rejoicing over the birth OF
ten pound baby girl, born to them
yesterday morning. If you observe
Papa Rud neglecting the sale of the
famous Overland cars for a while
9you will know the reason why.
When the Western Union tele.
graph messenger boy handed a tele-
gram to Atty. c. S. Boice yesterday
kthe latter's face wore a look of ap-
sTrehension, but when he read the
contents his face became wreathed
in smiles, as the message bore the
glad tidings that he had become a
grandpa, a fine baby boy being born
yesterday morning to Mr.. and Mrs.
A. j. Braun at Am Arbor, Mich The
mother will be remembered as Miss
Ladice Boice.
Another message which brought
JOY to Mr. and Mrs. John A. Jewell,
arrived last Friday, conveying the
news of the birth of six pound girl
to Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert Amundsen,
of Austin, MINI. We join in extend
ing congratulations to the above

Tillie Made Them Laugh.

The Lyric theatre was packed t.
the limit Monday night by a crowd
which taxed the capacity of the thea
tire. TITLES Punctured Romance,
with Marie Dressler, Charles Chap
lin and Mabel Normand was the
attraction. An offer of $40 was made
to anyone who failed to get a laugh
out of the pictures, but we haven
heard of anyone claiming the ten dol
lars yet.
1t is one of the greatest comedies
ever produced, and Miss Larsen is
certainly to be congratulated on get
ting such high grade pictures for her
katrons. The audience was in an up
roar of laughter all the time and ev-
cryone went home feeling that their
time and money was well spent The
same film was repeated again last
night to a record breaking business.

Coffeen Gets Another Contract.

Contractor A. r. Coffeen started
work yesterday on the new buildins
to be erected by II. j. Hutchinson on
Main street, mention of which was
made in these columns last week.
The building will replace the old feed
store opposite Anderson Bros. barn.
1t will have a pressed brick front,
tile walls, plate glass front and con-
crete walls in basement. The size of
the building will be 25x65, one story
high.
This makes the fourth fine bust
LESS building which Contractor COT
feen has under construction in De-
corah at the present time The brick
started work yesterday on
the Richard Schrubbe store building,
and the Kuntz and Volding garages
are progressing rapidly. Contractor
Coffeen is hustler, is always on the
job, and when a building is finished
under his supervisor it means that
it is well built to stand the test of
time.

He Didn't Mind.

A certain railway in Michigan
has station entitled Sawyer's Mills
but usually entitled, for short, Saw
yer's.
A rural couple on one of the trains
attracted much attention by their
evident fondness for each other un-
til the brakeman thrust his head
in the doorway Of the car and called
out, Sawyer! Sawyer!
Reuben suddenly assumed the
perpendicular and Indignantly ex-
claimed: Well, we don't care if you
did; we've been engaged three
weeks.

KITCHEN KINKS.

In heating the oven, the draft
should be closed when the coal is
we'll started. In a word, to save fue
plan ahead and then watch draft.
When washing glassware do not
put it in hot water bottom first. Slip
it in sidewise and turn it quickly in
the water and it will not snap.
If the turkey is not very fat, avoid
its being dry after roas ing by
spreading butter over the outside,
and haste it frequently, while it is
roasting.
A pretty salad is made of lettuce
leaves shredded. sliced red radishes
and young onions sliced thin. Mix
together with good French dres-
sing.
Tin is a great saving of the ex-
pense of equipping kitchen, if one
wishes the outlay to be as small as
possible. But it should be the thick
ly coated kind.

DECORAH'S POPULATION OVER
1000
Recount of Population Shows Decor.
all Has Over 1000 Residents.

On April p the figures of Decor
abs population was given out as g..
629, and it was known at the time
the figures were not just exactly cor.
lect, and a recount was taken up. A
number of residents assisted Asses
sor John Hargreaves. He has work
ed hard, but it seems like an impos-
sibility for one man to cover a city
the size of DEBORAH in a certain
length of time and get the correct
count of the citizens. The new fig
ures handed in by Mr.. Hargreaves
brings Decorah's population to over
1000; the figures given this time are
4,O07, which is almost 400 more
than the first count in April. The
population of DEBORAH has always
been considered by all of the older
residents here as being closer to
5000 than $500. The counting of
the students who spend almost the
entire year here would swell the
count considerably towards bringing
it to the 5000 mark. But after ali
its quality that counts, and Decorah's
population is made up of the very
best. Following is the count by
wards.

MIJTINY

DEFEAT

PETROGRAD, March z3.-Mu-
tiny was the real cause of the
fall of Przemysl.
The truth concerning the last
"a hours OF terror within the
walls of the great fortress became
known today.
Human endurance had reached
its limitation. Starving. sick.
cold and miserable, the victims of
the six months siege at last re-
vclted, turned like hungry wolves
on their masters.
Prefers Surrender.
Only when faced with destruc-
ton from within did Gen. Kus-
manek. the valiant defender OF
the fortress, succumb to the unre-
lenting iron ring of his enemies
without.
IL was late in the afternoon
when he gave orders for the final
dash for liberty. He summoned
10000 men to prepare for a
sortie, a forlorn hope of letting at
least part of the army escape.
Then news reached him that
several units refused to obey. His
treat of execution was disregard
ed. He finally surrendered rath-
er than bear the disgrace of mu-
tiny.
Russians Drive Forward.
Inspired by the fall of Przemysl
a half million Russian troops are
pushing forward toward Buko-
