Second Lecture Course Number.

The second number of the lecture
course, the American Ballads Com.
pany, gave a concert at the G rand Oh
Friday evening. With the exception
of the pianist, who was one of the
hest ever heard in DEBORAH, the com
pany was not above the ordinary.
This company was substituted for the
attraction originally engaged because
of inability to procure satisfactory
date, and has proved somewhat of a
disappointment. The fact of the mat
ter is, that such high standard has
been set by attractions offered by the
Lyceum Bureau that one of ordinary
merit does not receive universal ap.
prevail. 1t has been conceded that
this was the weakest attraction on
the list for this year.

A Monster Edition.

Public Opinion comes to you this
week in decidedly new form. 1t
contains twenty pages, filled with
newsy store talk and reading matter
from first to last We think that
without question it is the largest
regular edition of local newspaper
ever issued in Winneshiek county.
1t has some eighty columns of adver-
tisements, nearly all of which have
been set in Tyre during the week.
When one considers that the work was
all done by our regular Office force,
set, printed, folded and mailed, with
out extra help and without impeding
our regular line of job printing, the
greatness of the task may be partially
realized.
1t is not only the largest in size.
but also in circulation. reaching
every nook and corner of this big
county, carrying the news of the
county at large and of the busy stores
into more households and beside more
firesides than any regular issue of a
newspaper ever before went in this
county. 1t will be read by fifteen
thousand people. and the knowledge OF
this fact is the reason for the large
number of advertisements il contains.
We sincerely hope that our big,
happy family will read every page
and every item. Scan the advertise
ments closely. The merchants talk
straight to you this week, and we
want YOU all to read what they have
to say.

NEW BANK OPENS.
DEBORAH State Bank Opened its Doors for
Business Yesterday Afternoon.

| DecOrah's new banking institution,
the DEBORAH State Bank, opened its
doors for business yesterday, and has
since been visited by a large number
of our citizens, who called to pay
their respects to the officials, and to
wish them success in their new ven
ture.
| The new banking company several
weeks ago. just after organizing, pur-
chased the three story building on the
corner of Water and Washington
streets owned by G.. E. Soland. and it
has been fitted up in excellent shape
for the business. The corner room
is 40x25, amply large for the purpose.
and it has been elegantly fitted out
with up-to-date furniture and fixtures.
The counters, seats, desks, etc. are of
mahogany, with antique marble bases
and plates, and above the counters
are handsome ornamental steel rail-
lngs. The room has been neatly and
appropriately decorated, steam heat
installed throughout the building, and
everything put in first class condition.
At the right of the entrance is pri-
vate Office for the use of patrons and
bank officers, and at the left of the
lobby another room from which en-
trance to the safety deposit vault is
made. A handsome copper ceiling sur
mounts the whole. Besides the vaults
is a fine modern Manganese screw
door safe, absolutely burglar proof
In fact the entire equipment is that
of a modern banking institution, in
every way in keeping with the gen.
orally up-to-date business houses of
DEBORAH.
The bank has capital of $50, 600,
and will do general banking and
abstract business. The officers are all
we'll known men. viz: r. a. Eng
bretson, president; E. P. Johnson.
vice president; A. l.. Haakenson,
and j. M. Thorson, of Elbow
Lake, Mimi, assistant cashier. The
directors are r. A. Engbretson, A. L.
G. E. Soland, T. o.
Storla. DR.. L. Stabo, E. P. Johnson
and Harold Thorson
1t is the wish of all that the new
bank may enjoy such business as
they hope to develop, that of safe
and conservative institution, and we
have no doubt of its success from the
start.
