One OF the most social events that
has occurred at Burr Oak for a long
time was the leap Year party at the
!. O. .. +. hall last Tuesday evening,
Jan. 26tll. Over hundred invita-
tions were issued. The hall was de-
corated with evergreen. lace curtains
hung at the windows and portieres at
door openings. Two cozy corners i'm
proved the west end. "Old Glory"
hung as back gronnd to the stage,
where sat Brady Smalley, Sile Erwin
and Mr.. Anderson, who furnished the
music. Misses Inez Schanck and
Georgia Bovee were the reception
committee. and little Misses Ruth
Schanck and Lucille Emmons acted
as ushers; Mrs. Donna Emmons was
floor manager. Supper was served up
stairs to upwards of ninety. Guests
were present from Canton, Mabel and
Prosper, Mimi.

Standard Telephone Superintendent.

At The annual meeting of the stock
holders in the Standard Telephone
Company the question of creating the
Office of superintendent was dis
cussed. Accordingly Ellison Orr, ex-
clerk of the district court has been
selected to fill the position, and that
gentleman has already entered upon
his duties in that capacity. He will
have charge of all the lines owned by
the company and it is planned to put
the entire system in first-class condi-
tion as fast as the work can be done.
The appointment Of Mr.. Orr met with
hearty endorsement of the stockholders
as we'll as the patrons of the lines.
Mr.. Orr will move his family TO
Waukon as soon as suitable resi-
dence can be secured mad will make
this place his headquarters. We well
come him and his estimable family to
our city. He wi ] have his office mp
stairs over Palmer's store back of DR..

ANOTHER THEATRICAL TREAT.
David Harum" to be Seen Again at the
Grand. on Friday Evening, Feb. 18th.

In looking over the list of successes
of the last half dozen years. one can
not help noticing the fact that three
were rural comedies-'The Old Home
stead,' "Shors Acres' and "Way
Down East" To their number an
addition has been made in "David
Harum." Like the others it deals in
rural types aid country scenes but
there all similarity to its predecessors
ends. The dramatization of Westcott's
story is not what the public has got to
know as "b gosh drammer. F" Joshua
Whitcomb fed trsmps from his kitchen
door and in the city i,ll q victim to
the viles of the sharper. Nathaniel
Berry made sacrifices in order that
his brothers. farm might be saved,
and Squire Bartlett of "Way Down
East" was so puritanical that he had
but little real charity for the girl who
had been deceived. david Harum"
possesses none of the traits which mark
the average stage hero from the coun-
try. He is a shrewd, cunning old
chap who believes in the Golden Rule
as expouDded by himself-"Do unto
the other fellow as he would like to
do unto you. only do him fust.'' He
cold navigate around large city
without any danger of being hit by
the cars and the confidence man who
made his acquaintance would undoubt-
edly regret it. One of the good things
in the book was the horse trade be-
tween Harum and Sanctimonious
Deacon Perkins, and this is made use
of in the opening act of the play. An
other capital scene. in fact one of the
most amusing aud laughaDle scenes
known on the stage in years, shows
the Deacon behind balky horse in a
terrific down pour of rain. The play
is to be presented at the Grand. Fri
day night, Feb. IL, and that it will
attract all the people that the theatre
can hold seems moral certainty.

NEW HOTEL A SURE THING
STOCK SUBSCRIBED IN A SINGLE DAY
A Magnificent Modern Structure to be
Erected in Decorah This Spring. The
Citizens Respond Literally to the
Enterprise, Insufing its
Success.

When recent issue of the Public
Opinion called the attention of our
business men to the urgent necessity
of the building of hotel and the rea-
soma why something should be done in
that direction at once, we little
thought that by this time we w0uld
be able to announce that the necessary
amount to insure its erection had been
secured. and that it is now certain
ty. Such is nevertheless the case.
One day last week some of the busi.
ness men got together and decided to
circulate paper and see how much
stock would be subscribed by the
business men for the purpose. With
the same characteristic enterprise and
public spirit ALWAYS displayed by our
people in questions of public necessity
they rallied to this mOst worthy cause
in q manner which surprised the most
enthusiastic.p In less than thirty-six
hoLrs, in about one day in fact.
enough stock vas subscribed to insure
the success of the enterprise. All
classes of business men, and citizens
have taken stock, so that it will in
every sense be a cosmopolitan hotel,
built by the people.
At this time it is impossible to
give definite idea of the plans.
However. the old Winnesheik will
be torn down. and handsome modern
structure erected in its place. 1t
will be three stories in heighth. and
will contain two or three store build
ings on the ground floor. Everything
about it will be of the best, large,
we'll lighted rooms. many with bath.
comfortable parlors. a large and con-
venient lobby, sample rooms, steam
heat, electric lights. etc. etc.
It is now proposed to commence the
tearing down Of the old building in
April and push the erection Of the
new one as rapidly as possible.
completing it within four months il
it can be done. When it 10 finished
it will be q structure to which every
citizen Of Decorah will point with
pride. and which will attract from q
distance besides travelling men of
every trade, conventions, associa-
tions. etc. which are always of in
calculable benefit to q city. Fur
ther than this we can givo no details
Of plans. A meeting Of the stock
holders will probably be held today.
when officers will be elected and
arrangements for the immediate
commencement of the work formu-
lated.
In this connection we want to say
once more that one may 60 tar aud
wide without finding town to equal
Decorah in all that goes to make up
progressive, enterprising little city.
It has.been the experience for many
years past that whenever a matter
came up that was of benefit to the
general public, our citizens have put
their shoulders to the wheel and made
q success of it. Our handsome opera
house, the pride of all northeastern
Iowa. was erected in this manner.
our streets paved. our fine new school

The United States is ever progress.
ing. II is interesting to note the fol-
lowing statistlacs taken from the Sci
entific American: In area, for ex.
ample, the total in 1908 is 3.O25. 900
square miles, against 1850. $50 square
miles in 1850, and S27,S44 square
miles in 1900. These figures do not
include Alaska or the island belong
ing to the Unitsd States. The popula.
tion in 1908 is stated at 80,372. 900.
against 80, 19l. .S76 in 1850 and $685.. :
4SS in 1900. The wealth of the coun-
try 10 stated at niuety-four billions
of dollars in 1900, and presumably 100
billions would not be an unreasonable
estimate for 1908. while. for 1850 the
wealth of the country stood at Z bill
lion dollars, no estimate being given
for any year earlier than 1880 The
per capita wealth is set down at ST.
2S5 in 1900 and $s07 in 1850. having
thus more than quadrupled meantime.
The interest bearing debt in 1908 is
Ola millions dollars. against l.7s4 mil
lions in 1880 and 2. .046 millions in 1870.
The per capita indebtedness Of the
country in 1903 is $ll.5l against $50. 46
in 1870 and the interest per- capita.
80 cents in 1908, as against $S O8 in
1870.
