"The Little Homestead" Tonight.

The Little Homestead is now in its
third year. Since its first production
it has been enthusiastically greeted
by large audiences throughout the
country, playing two and three return
engagements in many of the cities.
The Little Homestead is from the pen
of w. B. Patton, author of "The
Minister'S Son, +" "The last Rose Of
Summer, Etc. 1t deals with life in
New England. No section of our
great country affords better opportun-
ity for character drawings and charm
ing love story incidents. The play
has recei-ed unstinted praise from
the cities everywhere it has been pre-
sented, and promises to live longer in
the hearts of American theatre-goers
than any stage picture of New Eng
land life ever written. With its
realistic settings and capable inter
probation by an unusually talen ted
company, The Little Homestead is one
of the most popular successes of the
day. Grand Opera House tonight,

for the Winneshiek County State

of congratulation, both for the bank

represents. 1t bespeaks not alone an
unusual period of prosperity for the
surrounding territory, but also a bust

beyond the ordinary, as well as feel

ademy,

About three O'Clock Sunday morning
an unknown person entered the resi-
dence of the Catholic Sisters who
have charge of the parochial school
on Day Street, by breaking out a
glass in the kitchen door. He re-
moved his shoes and going up stairs
put out the sanctuary lamp in the
chapel, and was about to go into the
room where the sisters were, just as
Sister Phillip heard him. Speaking
to the. other three she told them
there was some one in the house,
and getting up she met him, and a
scuffle followed in which she got the
best of him and threw him out Of
the house. The police are working
on the case, but as yet have made no
arrests

We take a good deal of pride in
making this announcement AS our
readers know well we have by a
special arrangement with the Chicago
Daily Tribune, Americas greatest
daily newspaper, beer able in years
past to give our readers the special
low price of 80 % per year for this
great paper, or 90. 10 for both the
Chicago Daily Tribune and Public
Opinion one year. Keeping the in
terestS of our subscribers in mind, we
wrote the Tribune the other day asking
for this rate for next November and
December, and they replied that in
consideration of the large list of
subscribers we have sent them every
year, we could have the distinction of
being the only paper in Iowa to adver-
tise this low rate again this year
at this time.
This means that from now on until
further notice anyone who takes the
Public Opinion can get the Chicago
Daily Tribune, the greatest paper in
the world, and Public Opinion, the
best and widest read newspaper in
northern Iowa, both whole year for
only 50. 10. We have the exclusive
use of this rate and you cannot get
it elsewhere. Hundreds of people in
DEBORAH and throughout the county
read the Tribune and Public Opinion.

do the same. We will be glad to send
for it for you.

Returned a Thousand Fold.

Two years ago DR.. E. j. Bulgin,
the evangelist, was conducting revi-
val services in San Bernardino and
became interested in one Charles
Campbell, who was OH the down
grade. He went into a saloon one
night, and literally dragging Camp
bell out, took him to his room and
sobered him up. He worked with
him and Campbell was converted and
remained that way. Not long after
he fell heir to 800, 600, and to show
his gratitude to the evangelist last
year presented DR.. Bulgin with an
automobile. This gift was last week
augmented by making DR.. Bulgin a
stakeholder in the Clements No. 2
mine in San Bernardino county, and
electing him treasurer of the Kelso
Mining and Milling Company.
