PUBLIC NOTICE
Notice is hereby given that the week of April 21st will be “clean-up-week”. All ashes, manure, garbage, tree trimmings, sawdust, or anything of an unsightly nature, must be removed from the streets and alleys, and the public in general are requested to clean up their premises in such a way that the town will present a neat appearance. All wire, barrel hoops, tin cans, or any other material that will cause damage to the street mower, must be picked up from the streets adjacent to your property, and the practice of throwing this kind of material in the streets and alleys must be discontinued.

DEATH OF FORMER ALLAMAKEEAN.
From the Emmetsburg Democrat we learn of the death there Monday of last week of an old-time resident and former Allamakeean, Thos. F. Joyce, after an illness of but three days. Deceased was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Joyce, was born in county Mayo, Ireland, in 1846, coming to this country as a small boy and locating in Kentucky. In 1876 he moved to Lansing, where he taught school until moving to Emmetsburg in 1879. He was unmarried and is survived by two brothers, John, of Chicago, who attended the funeral Wednesday, and Patrick of Harpers Ferry, Iowa. Mrs. Fred Hoyt of Dubuque and Miss Therese Joyce of Harpers Ferry, nieces, also were present at the funeral.

To Revive Woodman Picnic.
At a recent county convention of the Modern Woodmen of America, held at Rossville April 3d, a movement was started looking to a revival of the old and popular Woodmen County Picnic.

At the conclusion of the regular business of the convention at Rossville, on motion of Neighbor G. W. Haines, 81, probably the oldest Woodman in the county and resident of Waukon for over fifty years, a committee of one from each of the eight camps of the county was named to sound out the home sentiment and meet some time in May at Waukon to decide the matter and fix the date and select the place if it was decided to hold one this year. The four camps present, Postville, Rossville, Waukon and Lansing, were favorable to the proposal and it is a pretty safe bet that these annual gatherings, so pleasing to the members of the woodcraft and the people in general in the past, will be revived and prove even more popular in the future than in the past.

The advent of the automobile makes it possible for any camp in the county to prove a gracious host and we are quite sure that whatever place is selected a successful picnic is assured in advance.

In talking to Neighbor J. W. Irons at New Albin last Friday we learned that the camp there was planning on a picnic sometime this summer, so why not start the ball rolling a the state line and make it a county affair? No place in particular is after the picnic this year but the desire seems general to revive the custom and make it a success wherever held.

To Neighbor Haines will be due the credit if one is held and he will henceforth be rightly known as the “Father of the County Picnic.” He has the pep of many twenty years his junior and having a deep and abiding faith in the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God, comes as near carrying out the tenets of the order as it is possible for mortal man to do. P. S. Since writing the above a meeting has been called for Saturday, April 27, to decide the matter definitely.

Fred Zimmerman, Mike Callahan, M. Magnusson, P. J. McCauley, W. T. Piers, Chas. Wild, Herman Dehli. The judge appointed W. T. Piers Foreman and gave the panel the usual instructions. A. C. Larson served as clerk and James Foley as Bailiff. There was nothing special for the grand jurors to do so they went through the routine duty of inspecting the Court House and jail and visited the Count Home and adjourned for the term the same afternoon.

Court remained in session Tuesday and Wednesday, attending to such matters as were ready for action and at the close of the day’s work Wednesday Judge Reed adjourned until Monday of this week.

The case of Myrl B. Kugler vs. Clark G. Kugler, a divorce action, was heard by Judge Reed Monday afternoon.

Charles E. Ryan, living in west Waukon, undertook to visit his farm in Ludlow township last Thursday, driving a team, which he keeps for that purpose when the roads are too muddy for the car. One of the horses dropped into one of these mud holes, which have become fashionable on the roads of late years, and it took several men several hours to dig him out, with the result that Charley was not able to return to his fireside in town that evening.

Mrs. M.A.R. Bellows, writing us from the Soldier’s Home at Marshalltown, says: “I cannot sufficiently thank the many acquaintances and friends in Waukon and vicinity who have written a line since I have been here. I did not make note of the same, but they were many and I thank all who did so. I am getting stronger and able to step around by taking hold of the furniture, etc., and take a step alone now and then. Am not anticipating any rapid pace just now. We are wheeled in our chairs by an orderly when not able to walk.”

Michael Kennedy was taken sick a week ago Sunday, but continued his work on the street grader until Wednesday, when he became so bad that a physician was called and it was decided that he was suffering from appendicitis.

He has been in a serious condition since. Saturday morning his sister, Miss Nell Kennedy, and cousin, Mrs. Frank Gerky, went to LaCrosse to be with him and extend what comfort they could. Reports from LaCrosse Monday were that he was still in a very serious condition, but relatives and friends hope for the best.

We notice by the minutes of the grand jury in session Tuesday of last week that the cases, State of Iowa vs. Al Moran and State of Iowa vs. L. J. Rood, were dismissed. That the jurors examined the County Home and jail and found everything satisfactory.

The Mothers and Daughters Club surprised Mr. and Mrs. Roy Gleisner at the George Lasky home Monday evening. A fine supper was provided from baskets brought by the Club and a pleasant social evening spent. It was in the nature of a farewell for Mr. and Mrs. Gleisner, who are soon to move to Decorah.

Word was received Monday by Mrs. Herman Klemma of the death of her father, Andrew Peterson, one of the pioneer settlers on Round Prairie, who has been making his home recently with relatives at Fertile, Minn.

L. & Z. Variety Changes Hands.
A business change which caused wide-spread surprise took place in this city the past week, Messrs. Lauerman and Zadrazill of the L. & Z. Variety selling out to Schultz Bros. of Chicago. The store was closed last Thursday for inventory, which will be finished today, when the proprietors take charge under the title, “Schultz Varity Stores,” the new owners operate a number of stores through Illinois and Wisconsin with headquarters at Chicago.

Two young men, Ed Lauerman and Jake Zadrazill, both of Muscoda, Wis., came to Waukon in 1922 and bought the Mooney Variety Store. By hard work and strict attention to business they were successful. Several years ago they moved to their present quarters, the largest store room in the city. They have had an increased trade each year and the L. & Z. has become noted as the biggest and best store of its kind outside the large cities. Schultz Bros. were anxious to establish a store in Waukon and made them an offer so liberal that they could not afford to refuse, which was their only reason for selling.

Messers. Lauerman and Zadrazill have no definite plans for the future except that they will take a few months vacation and rest. Both young men have made many friends during their seven years’ residence in Waukon and there is a universal feeling of regret at the prospect of losing them. They also enjoyed their residence here and are sorry to leave us. Whatever plans they make for the future they can rest assured that they have the best wishes of all who now them for their future success.

Dog Owners Take Notice.
The fact that you pay a license on your dog does not permit you to allow your dog to run at large. Do you realize what annoyance and damage your dog causes to your neighbors? If you have a dog keep it at home for it may disappear some day, if running at large. P.H. Letourneau, Mayor.

Please Take Notice.
We wish to notify the children once more that it is against the City Ordinances to ride bicycles or coaster wagons upon the sidewalks. We would suggest that when ridding bicycles or coaster wagons in the street, that the rider keep close to the curb, and to the right side, thus avoiding accidents. P.H. Letourneau, Mayor.

Pleasing Junior College Play.
A good sized audience assembled at the Opera House last Thursday evening to witness the three act play, “The Goose Hangs High,” presented by the students of the Waukon Junior College under the direction of the dramatic arts teacher, Miss Donna Bibler. The plot of the play had to do with the troubles of the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ingals, portrayed by Horace Roggensack and Adeline Helmo, in keeping a son and daughter in college on the salary of a City Assessor. The title was derived from the fact that after a peck of trouble through two acts the third act brought a glorious happy ending.

Besides, the two previously mentioned the others taking part were as follows in the order of their appearance: Meryl Baxter, Lester Olson, Lucille Lusk, Mary Ellen Hart, Vivian Walters, Edward Sullivan, Earl Mahoney, Anna Hager, Arthur Jacobson, Jessie Howes, Lloyd Thompson.

The amateur Thespians were letter perfect in their parts, showed an intelligent understanding of the characters they were portraying and the performance from beginning to end went along smoothly and without a hitch, at least without anything serious enough to attract the attention of the audience, all of which reflects credit on the director, Miss Bibler. Where all did so well it would be invidious to make particular mention.

The school Orchestra, under the leadership of Prof. Chas. W. Phillips, brightened the entertainment before the curtain went up and during the intermission between the acts, with some good music.

IZAAK WALTON LEAGUE CONVENTION.
Julius Boeckh as delegate and J. J. Dunlevy, alternate, of the local chapter of the Izaak Walton League, left for Chicago yesterday morning, where the national convention of the order opens a four day session at the Stevens Hotel. Their purpose is primarily to secure for Lansing the location of the proposed Will H. Dilg memorial, about which a committee of the League has been debating several years. This city will again offer them Mt. Ida and several acres of ground, overlooking the famous Winneshiek Bottoms, which were saved as a game preserve largely through Dilgl’s efforts, and which is the logical spot for a memorial to him. Messrs. Boeckh and Dunlevy have a number of most beautiful views of Lansing and vicinity with them for display at the convention, and 2000 illustrated folders for distribution to the delegates. If they are able to make the Waltonians see and read of the beauties of Lansing and can get the matter out of the committee and on the floor of the convention, they have high hopes of landing the Dilg Memorial.

Miller-O'Brien Marriage
A pretty wedding ceremony occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Warren O’Brien in Ludlow township at 5 o’clock p.m. Monday,, when their daughter, Mary E., and E. W. Miller were made husband and wife, Rev. Paul Krebs, pastor of the Waukon Presbyterian church, officiating. The groom’s sister, Miss Laura Miller, served as bridesmaid and the bride’s brother, Leslie O’Brien, acted as groomsman. The bride was attired in a dress of light blue georgette and lace over pink silk and carried a bouquet of snapdragons. Miss Miller wore a dress of tan georgette. Robert Engrav presided at the piano. Otto Kirkeby sang “Oh, Promise Me” before the ceremony and at its close he and Robert Engrav sang a duet, “At Dawning.” The bride has been one of our successful rural school teachers and the groom is engaged in business at Wells, Minn., where the young couple will make their home. The ceremony was witnessed by relatives and friends and at its close a sumptuous wedding feast was served and Mr. and Mrs. Miller received he congratulations and good wishes of all.

Eighty Years Young.
Westfield, Iowa, April 15, 1929.
Mr. Thomas Dunlevy, Waukon, Ia.
Friend Thomas: enclosed please find check to apply on my subscription to the Journal, as usual. Have had all kinds of weather but I guess spring is nearly here. As for myself, I am not feeling over brisk. On May 1st I reach my 80th milestone in life and the final call cannot be far in the future. If I were to visit Lansing now I would be a stranger in a strange land. Journal comes regularly, have never missed a copy. Wishing you success, I remain, Yours truly, R. A. Banks.

The writer of the above spent his youthful days on the Banks Prairie in Taylor township, this county, midways between Waterville and Harpers Ferry. This writer well remembers the home, a substantial frame house, noticeable because about all the farm houses of the neighborhood were of logs. At the age of 18 or 19 he and the late John W. Hinchon were persuaded by our step-father, Thos. F. Healy, then teaching in a private school in Lansing, to enroll as students in the State University at Iowa City, the first representatives of Allamakee county to enter that institution. After leaving the University Mr. Banks followed the teaching profession for some time, but of recent years has been engaged in farming. We trust he may have many more ears of comfortable old age.

-Miss Edith Feurhelm of Lansing, contestant from Allamakee county for the Des Moines Register’s statewide spelling bee (total of 103 contestants) was accompanied to Des Moines last Thursday by Jeanette Reynolds of Waukon and they returned Sunday. Miss Feurhelm lasted about half way through the contest and was set down on the noun “insight.” She spelled correctly the verb “incite.” Unless she was given the definition of the word and understood it before spelling it don’t seem fair to us. Miss Reynolds says there was some objection voiced from the audience over the decision but it had no effect on the judges.
-A baby daughter, their first born, was welcomed to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Will White in Chicago Monday. The proud papa telegraphed the glad news here to his brother, James, who kindly passed it along to us.
-F. W. Bauman of Lansing township was brought to the Waukon Hospital Wednesday afternoon of last week to have a painful and serious injury attended to. His tractor was out of order and he had a machinist fixing it. The man was running the machine and Mr. Bauman was riding on the running board when a loose lug in the gearing caught one of his heels, cutting the ligament running up into the leg tearing off the point of the bone and some of the flesh. It is a most painful injury and will lay him up for some time.
-The former Jane Whaley house, located down the railroad track about two miles, and its contents, were destroyed by fire Monday afternoon. Dud Whaley has been keeping bachelor quarters there, and for a few weeks past Bill Hall has been staying with him, and was the only one at home when the fire was discovered. The roof was burning and probably caught fire from the stovepipe. A few things were saved from the lower story. We are unable to learn as to whether the house was insured but probably not.

DISTRICT COURT.
Trial of the case of Irma Lyman vs. A. M. Cunningham took up the attention of the court Tuesday of last week. The plaintiff, a resident of Cedar Rapids, sought to have the court enforce the specific performance of a contract signed by the defendant in a real estate transaction. It was a trade of a business property at Postville owned by Cunningham for a residence property at Cedar Rapids owned by the plaintiff, who was to receive $4,000 to boot. At the conclusion of plaintiff’s testimony Attorney Sheridan for the defendant filed a motion asking the court to dismiss the case because of various reasons which he alleged made the carrying out of the contract impossible. The plaintiff’s attorney, Otto L. Schluter of Cedar Rapids, after some remarks by Judge Reed which indicated that he would sustain the motion, asked leave to withdraw the case without prejudice, which the court granted, the cost to be paid by plaintiff.

All the attorneys were summoned to the court room Wednesday for a conference on the setting of cases for trial. A number were set for trial this week and Judge Reed adjourned court Wednesday afternoon until Monday of this week.

NOTHING DOING ON DILG MEMORIAL.
The seventh annual meeting of the Izaak Walton League of America, held in Chicago last week, did nothing on the Dilg Memorial. The Lansing Chapter was represented there by Delegate Julius Boeckh and Alternate J. J. Dunlevy. The former has not returned yet, gong to Sycamore, Ill., at the close of the convention Saturday, to spend Sunday with his daughter, Mrs. Frank Lee, and from there Monday to Madison, Wis., on some other business. He returns Wednesday morning. Alternate Dunlevy returned Monday on the late train and there isn’t much to say in regard to the matter for there was no action pro or con taken by the convention. When we got our programs Wednesday and saw the matter was ignored by the executive committee, we made up our minds that there was some reason for it, and learned later from different members of the committee that nothing would be done this year—the Chairman of the committee having it in charge even not being present—and took their advice that it would be impolitic but possibly hurt our cause by attempting to urge or force action on it at this time. But little of the literature issued was used but will not be wasted as it is just as appropriate whenever the matter is reached. The Picturesque Lansing views, which attracted much attention at Omaha, Neb., last year, and which assisted us with the aid of Henry Beninger, of Danville, Ill., to get the Illinois delegation instructed for the Lansing site, were on display in the lobby of the meeting place in the new Stevens Hotel, and were the subject of much favorable comment.

The society, composed largely of doctors, lawyers, judges and professional men of means, with a sprinkling of the common herd like Beninger, Boeckh and the writer, and numbering considerably over 100,000 at one time, has been going through the throes of internal dissentions the past two years and is not yet fully reconciled to itself. It has raised a large foundation fund the past year, about $100,000, we learn, and this is to be applied to perpetuating the order, and as soon as the large debt it inherited from its founder, Will H. Dilg, who seems to still have both friends and enemies among members, is paid, it will be in shape to function again on the many projects of recreation and conservation it has undertaken, as well as the Dilg Memorial matter, which has been in the hands of a special committee for over two years.

So it will be seen that Lansing’s chances have not suffered but only been delayed. Mr. Boeckh made many friends at Omaha last year and we are quite sure that the cause was materially promoted at Chicago last week by the action taken.

Improvements at the Lumber Yard
P. E. Rethwisch, the local lumberman, whose “Building News” is the first advertisement many Journal readers look for, not only here but in Chicago as well (so we learned on our recent visit there), has made a number of improvements about the premises which his innate modesty doubtless forbids him publishing “The Building News.” He has enlarged his work shop, demanded by his constantly increasing trade in the manufacturing line, so that this department of his business is prepared to better than ever serve the public and he has always been proud of the service given.

A new paint shed has been added and his stock in this line will always be found most complete and priced to sell.

A new brick, tile and wire shed is at present under construction. These articles have heretofore been kept exposed to the weather but Mr. R. believes that they will handle much better and be more satisfactory to the buyer if kept under cover.

With the completion of these improvements the yard, which has always during Mr. Rethwisch’s administration been among the best appointed in this part of the state, will be just a little bit better, and of which the owner can be justly proud.

St. Rita’s Court, C. O. F., enjoyed a banquet last Tuesday evening at 6 p.m. at the Parish Hall, followed by installation of officers and a short session of euchre, Mrs. Basil Gonier, Jr., winning prizes.

Mrs. Peter Ferring entertained the Senior Class of I. C. H. S. at a chicken dinner last Wednesday evening, at her home in Center township, in honor of her daughter Ethel, who is a member of the class. The evening was spent in a social way and was most enjoyable.

Five tables played euchre, and after a lovely lunch, the history of the organization was read. Mesdames George Horne and Chris. Anderson cut for the prize, the latter winning.

Monday’s Aldermanic Election
The special city election Monday to decide the contest between Martin Kohlstad and Ralph Thorsten for Councilman for the First Ward, held to be illegal at the regular election in March on account of there being two more ballots in the box than names on the polling lists, and Thorsten having only one more vote than Kohlstad. The same candidates were pitted against each other Monday, on the original petitions filed. This time there were 163 votes polled of which Mr. Kohlstad received 96 and Mr. Thorsten 67, electing the former by a majority of 29. The contest seemed to hinge on whether or not the south side, which has always been conceded an alderman, should continue to have representation on the Council, and the voters have decided the question in the affirmative.

The writer has sat on the Council with Mr. Kohlstad and been Mayor during his incumbency as well, and can truthfully say that the interests of the whole ward will be honestly and faithfully served by him to the very best of his ability. Martin does not attempt to say very much but he always votes right.
