Decorahian Quietly Married.

The rumor of the marriage of one
of our young men, Mr.. John ".
Adams, which had been current iw
Decorah for several days, was verified
last Wednesday by newspaper clirpin-.
from Sterling, ILL.,, which brought the
information that he was united ia
marriage at Mt. Carroll on Jan. l4th ta
Miss Julia Maynard, highly re-
spected young lady of Sterling. Mr..
Adams had kept the matter quiet, de-
string to surprise his friends when he
would bring his bride here to make
their home. Mrs. Adams returned
home to Sterling after the marriage, to
remain until her husband had pre-
pared home for her here. sfr.
Adams is we'll known here, having
grown up to manhood in the city, and
his many friends and acquaintances
will welcome his bride To D.,onh, ana
wish them all the JOYS of-married lite.

Best Things the Cheapest.

Remember. my boy the good things
in this world are the cheapest. Spring
water costs less than corn whiskey; a
box of cigars will buy two. or three
bibles; a gallon of old brandy costs
more than barrel of flour; full hand
of pok er often costs man more in 20
minutes than his church subscription
amounts to in three years; state cleo
ton costs more than a revival of re-
ligion; you can sleep in church every
sunday morning for nothing, ifyou are
mean enough to dead beat your lodg-
ing, but nap in Pullman costs you
81 every time. Fifty cents for the cir
Gus aud penny for the little ones to
put in the missionary box; a dollar for
the theatre and pair of trousers frayed
at the end. baggy at the knee, and ut
terly busted at the dome, for the poor;
the dancing lady gets 5000 week and
the city missionary 5000 year; the
horse race scoops in $1,000 the first day
and the church fair lasts week, works
twenty-five or thirty of the best women

at the Grand Thursday night, Feb IL.

the season. We are promised the
pleasure of seeing Mr.. White-ide in his

and Sword"
During conversation with Mr..
Whiteside i'm New York recently he
confessed to having seen the reriorm-
ance of very few actors who have won
fame in the field of tragedy. During
my early years of study and prepsra-
ton for the stage" he remarked, II

of seeing the great actors of the day. foe

Electric Pumping the Best.

No better test of the new ncthod of
pumping by electricity could be made
than was experienced during the 1--WE
recent fires. During the Chinnock
fire the electric motor which runs the
pump was kept running all night, :"
that at no time during the fire, when
an enormous quantity of water wDs
being used, was there less thau ted
feet of water in the reservoir Under
the old system The steam punp could
not be ruu practically during fire, o's
account of the engine RACING OF
varying dangerously in speed when
hydrants were opened. About six feet
of water was used during this fire, hUt
the pressure or the amount in the
reservoir did not vary perceptibly.
Thus it is seen that with the new
method plenty of water could be fur
nished in case of extreme .cessit, foC
a day or two in all probability 0ithou
emptying the reservoir.

Anent Street Spriukllng.

However ludicrous the suggestion of
street sprinkling may appear at this
time of the year, it does not seem out
of place to discuss topic which will
soon be of interest. 1t is recognized
fact that the present method of sprink-
ling our principal streets and the pay
ment therefore by popular subscription
from business men is entirely unsatis-
factory. The present custom compells
comparatively few TO pay for the bene-
fits derived by all. We would suggest
that the city council devise some
schene by ordinance or otherwise
whereby the streets may be sprinkled
under the supervision of the city, as is
done in great many places, and pay
ment for the same be made by assess
ments against property holders receiv-
ing benefits therefrom. This would
provide more satisfactory service and
an equitable distribution of the ex-
pense of this necessity.

A Pleasing Recital.

The song recital given at the Con-
gregational church last evening bv Mr..
Marion B. Green, of Dubuque, assisted
by local talent, was listened to by an
audience that nearly filled the capaci-
ty of the church, and the program was
one that met with high appreciation by
the audience. 1t was Mr.. Green's first
appearance before q Decorah audience,
and his former acquaintance were sur
prised at his beautiful bass voice, his
perfect control, distinct enunciation
and pleasing platform appearance.
The different numbers were enthusi-
astically received by the audience, and
he was compelled to respond to num-
ber of encores. His assistance was
most pleasing. A difficult piano duet
attractively executed by Miss Aiken
and Miss Riley; Prof, Haldor Hanson's
pleasing Interpretation Of Handel's
"Sonate A." and response with beau
tiful encore that called out the highest
praise; and the reading by Mr.. Leon
Copeland, 1.-The Murderer" was .deliv-
cred In manner so pleasing that an
encore was demanded. Miss Riley, as
accompanied, was at her best, and as
usual ELECTED the appreciation of all.
1t was altogether an event that was
thoroughly enjoyed by those in attend

ANOTHER SERIOUS FIRE
BEAUTIFUL RESIDENCE DESTROYED
The New Palatial Home of L. N. Moss
Burned Monday Afternoon. Mrs.
Bersie Badly Burned.

Following close upon the destruction
by fire of the handsome shoe store of
j. T. Chinook, is the fire which start
ed Monday afternoon at l:30 o'clock,
in the beautiful new residence of l.. N.
Moss, travelling salesman for the J. T..
Hancock company, of Dubuque, on the
corner of Broadway and Grove streets.
Mr.. Moss was at home on Monday,
and had been doing some work about
the house, when an explosion occurred
In the cellar, and almost sooner than it
takes to write 1t, the handsome struct-
ure was mass of flames and smoke.
Mrs. Bersie, a lady who has been work
ing for the family for some time, was
in the laundry washing, and was using
a cook stove which contained hot
fire. The flames from the explosion ig-
nited her clothes and she rushed out
into the yard, where Mr.. Moss quickly
rolled her in the snow until the fire
was eAtinguished, but not before her
hair, face and hands were badly burned.
He then rushed up stairs to rescue his
baby, who was in an upper room.
Mrs. Bersie was carried into the resi-
dence of l.. B. Whitney, next door, and
physicians called, who worked dill
gently over her for some time. She
will recover, although for time there
was some doubt of it,
The fire department answered the
alarm as quickly as possible, and put
in several hours of hard work, but was
unable to get the fire under control be-
fore the home was reduced to almost a
total wreck. But little of the new and
elaborate furniture and fixtures were
saved, so that the loss to Mr.. Moss will
be heavy. The loss as near as can be
estimated is $4,000 on the house, with
$1,000 insurance, and $500 on furniture,
decorating, ETC., with $500 insurance.
