Theatrical Notes.

Owing to the company's inability to
reach Chicago March 10th where it is
booked for a weeks engagement, Mr..
Frohman has cancelled his date in this
city, March 8, for "Under the Red
Robe"
This attraction has just closed a very
prosperous weeks business in the
Twin Cities. The next thoroughly
reliable booking at the Grand opera
house will! be William Owen and a
we'll selected company in one of
Shakespeare's plays, March 18th.

Card of Thanks.

We desire to express our sincere
thanks to all who in any way assisted
in making the supper and entertain

success. We are also deeply grateful
to all those Catholics, as well as
Catholics, who assisted in the program
of the evening. To the ladies who
took so active part and sacrificed
their valuable time in behalf of the
supper, our poor thanks are unneces-
sary, since they have their reward in
the knowledge of good work well
done. SISTERS OF MERCY.

Another Bad Fire.

Saturday afternoon the house of
Prank Barth, about three miles west
Of Locust, burned to the ground with
nearly all its contents. Mr.. Barth was
IN DEBORAH, and the house was discov-
.sred to be on fire about one o'clock, and
all efforts to save it were ia vain. 1t
vas known as the Knoke homestead,
and the original cost of it was 5000.
A child which was sleeping near where
the fire started narrowly escaped being
burned to death, and was rescued only
by prompt action. We understand
that there was $500 insurance on the
house and $3.50 on the furniture.

THE DRY GOODS OPENING
OF MOTT & CO.'S FINE NEW STORE.
Fifteen Hundred People Brave the Cold
and Wait for Admittance. An Open
ing Unprecedented in DEBORAH.

An event unprecedented in the his.
tory of store openings of this city was
that of the elegant new store Of Mott &
Co. on Saturday evening. 1t had been
pretty generally noised about town
that it would be something fine, and
everyone who possibly could made
preparations to attend. But when the
doors were opened little after seven
o'clock, the surprise between the pro-
prietors Of the store and the citizens
was mutual. Mott & Co. had expected
a large number and prepared for them,
but had no idea that the crowd would
be SO large that they could not be ad-
mitted as rapidly as they came. BY
1880 the store was literally packed with
people and likewise the street for thirty
feet in each direction. And thus it
continued until late in the evening"
and the happy throng kept coming
and going until it seemed that the
whole town had been there. The
number that visited the opening is
variously estimated at from 1900 to
1900, and it is not improbable that the
latter figure is more nearly correct.
Over 1909 carnations were given out
and there were many who did not re-
ceive them.
The beautiful scene that presented
itself upon entering the store was also
surprise, for nothing of similar nat
ure has been attempted in DEBORAH,
and EXPLANATIONS of surprise were
heard on every side. The large new
stock of goods was arranged as is custo-
mary on counters and shelves on each
side of the room, while above them,
the entire length of the store, were
tastily draped booths representing al
most every department of the stock,
and the careful blending and COM
mingling of colors and beautiful fabrics,
dotted here and there with cut flowers
and palms from Symonds' greenhouse,
combined in making the general APP
pearance one of exceptional beauty and
artistic arrangement. From either
side and across the room hung festoons
of lace, and in the center handsome
booths contained exhibits of elegant
gress goods.
At the entrance the visitors were
received by Mr.. Warner and Mrs.
Mott, and presented with carnations,
while from the rear came beautiful
strains of music from Coup's orchestra.
1t was altogether felicitous opening
for business enterprise that is des-
tined to become from the start a pro.
minent feature of Decorah's business
interests, for the large stock that has
been received by them is selected with
view to always keeping an assort-
ment of the newest and finest fabrics,
as well as the cheaper ones. An effic-
lent force of assistants will be on hand
to wait upon trade, and every effort
will be made to please the patrons.

New School for DEBORAH.

Representative of the Diamond Gar
ment Cutter Co., of Chicago, are now
in DEBORAH and will proceed at once to
establish one of their celebrated schools
in our city. These people come to us
well recommended by the representa-
tive people of other towns in Iowa
where their schools have been located.
This company has just finished some
very successful schools in Maquoketa,
Bellevue and Cascade, and are recon-
mended to us by the pupils and bust
ness men of those towns.
The system is very fine, not like the
ordinary chart, which is usually con-
fined to plain waist, but extends
through the entire catalogues of styles.
The principles of the system are such
that child can easily learn it.
Suitable parlors will at once be Sc
cured, which will be in charge of COM
petent lady teachers, where each pupil
is taught separately mot in classes)
how to cut every garment and every
part of the garment for any member Of
the family. In the Dressmaking de-
partment they are taught all branches
of dressmaking proper and in the La
dies Tailoring the pupils are instructed
in everything that is up-to-date. All
pupils are allowed to make a complete
costume for themselves while taking
instructions, so as to test the system.
The representatives of this school will
proceed at once to make a thorough
canvass of DEBORAH and vicinity in the
interest of their new enterprise. They
are courteous and well ordered and la
dies will find it to their interest to have
the work explained to them when they
call at your homes. 1t costs you moth
ing to investigate and have any style
pattern cut for you. Ladies DESTROYS
of having the system demonstrated to
them should drop card to P. H.

The Golden Wedding.

The following poem was written
for and read at the golden wedding Of
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. pPuntney. 1t was
inadvertently omitted in our last issue.
When the ground is white with driven snow,
And the sleighbells jingle to and fro.
And the silver moon its light is shedding
Tis the sweetest time in the year for we'd
ding.
To seek him wife he had hied away.
Right soon he found her, so young oh, very,
But true as the stars, loving and merry
A lalydon day it was in sooth.
When In the flower of their happy youth,
Without a thought OF their future dreading,
They Joined their hands for that winter
wedding.
And firmer and sweeter the union grew,
Between these happy mated two.
And their circle Of love was always spreading
Through the wooden, the tin and the
crystal wedding.
For seven little ones clustered now
To strengthen the charm of their marriage
And to smooth the pathway they were tread
TIL, lol they had passed their silver wed
ding.
And mightier still the traction grew,
Which babe them follow the only clue.
To the end OF the labrynth they were tread
ding.
The splender and grace of the golden we'd
ding.
There was love in the heart, ana the inward
trust.
Which speaketh sweet "can" to the sharp
est "must,"
And checks the tears which the eyes are she'd
ding.
Through ali the years till the golden we'd
ding.
AS nothing is known more precious than old,
(Save the gems that tn settings are made
to hold)
So, up to its time. in the vale we are treading.
no union so sweet as the golden wedding.
Then hail to the day serene and bland.
Which draws us togaiher true hearted
band.
To be glad in the joys the heavens are she'd
ding,
On the bride and the groom at this golden
wedding. DELL.

HULL ON PHILIPPINES.
Just the Place For the Pro-
 gressive Young Men.

The Man of Brains Can Find Oppor-
 tunities For Almost Every Line of
 Business-The Filipino, He Says,
 Can Never Become An American
 Citizen In The Fullest Sense of the
 Term.
 San Francesca, Aug 29.-Congress- man Hull of Iowa. chairman of the house committee on military aHalfs, who has arrived here on the transpoft Hancock from a five months tour or China. Japan and the Philippines Is deeply impressed with the possibilities of the new American possessions Ill the Orient. He says:
 If I were young man don't know where I should rather go than to the Philippines. For man of brains and industry the islands open vast pros pect in almost every line of business for one who has the grit to go there and stick to it.
 ..The mineral, agricultural and tim Der resources of these islands constl- tute a field for commercial enterprise that is practically unlimited. Of course, the present conditions of brigandage make it exceedingly unsafe for people to settle in the islands away from the protection of the military posts. But the people, or the great majority de sire peace and safety and are doing all they can to help the troops attain this end.
 Of course, it is impossible to make an Anglo-Saxon out of an Oriental. Therefore the Filipino probably never will be an American citizen in the broad sense that is understood by all that term implies to the man born in the United States of white parents. But, as soon as he gets sufficient edu- cation and becomes little more inn pregnated with our ideas and loses some of tile ideas acquired by 300 years association with the Spaniard the Filipino will be a citizen i'll spirit, patriotism, industry and education and will be worthy of participatingsto the fullest extent in all the benefits of this government.
 .'Of course. we shall have to govern them with firmness as well as with kindness. I think 10000 soldiers should be kept there for some years to come 7

The detectives and others who were intrumental in recovering the treasure and sending the robber, John Winters, to prison. have been lib erally compensated for their services. Winters was under arrest when the reward was offered and President Ral- ston says his conviction was expected. The company, however. thought hi had accomplices and feared also that the gold had been taken out of the coun- try For these reasons the offer of the big reward was made.
