Death Of Marion B. McIntrsh.

The many friends of Marion B. Nc
Intosh were panied to learn of his
death on Sunday afternoon, at his
home about seven miles southwest of
this city, after an illness of several
weeks.
Marion B. Mcintosh was born April
%, 1869 in Orleans township, this
county, and in 1876 moved to Madison
township, where he lived until he died.
He leaves to mourn his loss loving
wife and child, mother, three brothers
and two sisters. The funeral services
will be held at / 80 o'clock this We'd
nesday afternoon, from the home OF
his mother, Mrs. James Mcintosh in
Madison township, with burial in
Phelps cemetery.
Deceased was of sober and industrious
habits, generous and forgiviDg to all.
In his early school life he was a quiet,
painstaking student, showing those
qualities that in later life made him
the friend of all. A good husband and
father, he thought home the most dear
OF all places. He was truly a good
man.

Home From Paris.

Miss Christine Siewers arrived home
Monday, from Paris, where she has
been for some time taking instructions
from one of the best vocalists of the
continent. Before returning home she
took a trip to Norway, thence to
Sweden, Finland and returned by the
same route, leaving Cbristiana on the
fifteenth of August and arriving here
Monday. 1t is needless to state that
her many friends were glad to greet her
again. She will spend the fall here
and then we hear rumors of an event
that will take her to London, England,
to make her home.

A Beautiful Story.

"When We Were Twenty.one" is a
love story pure and simple and is told
in a straight, forward, homely way. 1t
is story of how Dick Carewe and his
comrades rear and guide the only son
of deceased chum; how they guard
and save him from the pitfalls and
snares that lie in the path of life at
twenty-one. 1t is a story of hearts
bound together by ties of friendship
that nothing can break, and of how the
comrades save their ward from the re-
suits of his foolish impetuesity. 1t also
tells how a great and abiding love
comes to Dick all in return for his
willing selfsacrifice for the girl he loves
and who, he thinks, loves his ward.
This play Is undoubtedly the greatest
of modern times.

Football Team Organized.

The football enthusiasts of the city
got together with some of the students
of Valdez College Monday evening,
and organized football team for this
season by electing Fred Goddard
captain. They will call it the Valdez
team, and it will probably consist of
about the same players as last year,
with few additions. However, they
will begin training next week, and
will compete for positions on the
team. The boys expect to have a
much better team than ever before,
and If so they will bring home some
laurels from our neighboring towns
and colleges. Two games with the
Upper Iowa University are already ar
ranged for, one at Fayette, Oct. 25th,
and the other in DEBORAH Thanks

The Fall Opening at the Grand.

If clever artists, beautiful stage set
tings, pretty girls, dainty costumes and
bright witty play counts for anything
it is not surprising that Mathews &
Bulger's new musical comedy has made
such success.
Tuesday night, Sept. 10th, these fav-
orites and their superb supporting COM
pany will no doubt continue to delight
a large audience. The much mooted
question as TO whether the play is the
thing or the artists that make it is not
open for argument in this particular
case as Mathews & Bulger have a
bright, speedy vehicle in 1.-The Night
of the Fourth" and company of artists
that enact it. With two such favorites
as j Sherrie Mathews and Harry Bull.
ger it is no wonder that "The Night OF
the Fourth" has been the merriest play
produced this season. The piece is
chuck full of fetching musical numbers
that are encored over and over again
nightly and they are all destined to be.
come very popular. The production is
complete in every detail. The ensem-
BILE is large and the girls are very pretty

AT the last meeting of the city coun-
Gil they voted to have the arc electric
lights burning all night long, and the
incandescent lights until 200 a, m.
This action on their part is commend.
able one, as it often happens that per-
sons are on the streets after midnight,
and further it sometimes happens that
they need well lighted streets in order
to get home safely. 1t is expected that
the new service, together with the cleo
trio pumping of city water, will be in
augurated about Oct. 1st.

Az the Theatres.

The plays at the Grand and Steyer's
opera houses last week were quite Iiber-
ally patronized, and both gave satisfac-
ton. The Van Dyke & Eaton COM
pany which occupied the stage at the
Grand, is clean company, all good
actors, and presented very creditable
repertoire, while the Frank f. Long
company at Steyer's contained some
good people and also pleased their au-
diences.

The Baud Concert.

An immense crowd listened to the
concert by the DEBORAH City Band at
the corner of Winnebago and Main
streets Thursday night. This was their
first concert at home this year, and the
boys demonstrated that the practice of
the past year has rendered them much
more efficient than before. This organ
ization is certainly without an equal in
northern Iowa, and our people always
welcome an open air concert.

A Serious Fire.

About half past nine o'clock last
Thursday morning the fire department
was called to the residence of liver
Ryran in the first ward, and when
they arrived there they found the
kitchen on fire and burning rapidly.
BY hard work they soon had the fire
under control, and with liberal use
of water soon extinguished it, without
a great deal of damage being done.
