A MASS OF RUINS.
Grand Opera House Building Gutted by
Fire on Monday Night.

all Decorah-the Grand Opera House.
is now a mass of charred ruins, de-
stroyed Monday night by a raging fire.
At ten o'clock parties on the streets
near the opera house saw the rear of
the building which encases the stage
suddenly enveloped in flames, seeming
to shoot from the basement in one
solid mass and completely cover the
rear of the building. An alarm was
quickly turned in and the department
responded very quickly, but by the
time streams of water began to play on
the structure flames were shooting
high into the all, and it seemed that
the main business blocks in Decorah
were doomed to destruction. But the
boys never fought more manfully.. The
magnitude of the fire seemed to impel
them to greater efforts, and for an hour
they struggled and fought the fire de-
mon from every part of the building,
and finally succeeded in subduing it,
but not before much damage was done
to the property. The roof and ceiling
of the entire building, with the towers
and cornices, are destroyed, also the
stage and all its contents, but the walls
of the building remain, and the ground
floor and balcony are not totally de-
stroyed. Most of the goods were re-
moved from the Decorah Club rooms,
and from the store room occupied by
the Western Telegraph Co., and the
bicycle shop of I. N. Holmes. The
paper stock of A. Paulson in the west
store room is loss of probably $7O0
with $40O insurance. The loss on the
opera house building is estimated at
from $4,000 to $4,000, which is partly
covered by insurance.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but several theories are advanced, one
being that it was ignited from live
electric wire, which is disbelieved by
many. ' Il
OF course the citizens Of Decorah will
rebuild the structure. We must have
q modern opera house, and the liveliest
city in northern Iowa will not permit
many months to pass before much
better opera house will take its place.
This building was erected by the citi-
zens of Decorah in 1891, and was at
that time the finest of its kind in this
part of the state. Since its erection the
people of this vicinity have witnessed
on its stage sOme of the best theatre
troupes travelling, as well as hearing
prominent musicians, lecturers, etc. 1t
has been source of pride and pleasure
to our people and all were indeed sorry
to see it destroyed.
