FREDERICK WARDE NOV. 4th.
Second Number Of Lecture Course One Of
the Best Attractions Offered by the De.
corah Lyceum Bureau.

The next number of the lecture
course will be the eminent tragedlan,
Frederick Warde, who will appear at
the Grand next Monday evening.
This is one of the best and most ex-
pensive numbers the lyceum bureau
has offered, and the house ought to
be packed.
Mr.. Warde ranks as the greatest
Shakespearian exponent before the
public today. He is probably better
known and better liked throughout
the entire country than any one man
appearing on the platform.
The tributes and excerpts given Mr..
Warde from the noted scholars and
journalists of the country, demon
strate the popularity of the recitals
and the esteem in which he is held S
an actor, scholar and orator by the
best people of our land.
About forty frst-classiseats are still
left to be sold and tickets are now on
sale at Brunt &jParman's drugstore.
We hope the people of DEBORAH will
take advantage of this high-class en-
tertainment and fill the opera house
to its limit.

into by Gus Rodvang and Nick Hagen

their horses at full speed, racing past

their team collided with his rig,
demolishing both buggies and piling
them up in heap. Fortunately all
escaped without serious injury, and
telephoning in to Noecker's livery,
whose rig he was using, they sent out
their automobile after him, leading
the team behind the auto. Upon ar
irving home Mr.. Tarvestad sent
Sheriff Qualley out after them, and
the next day they were given pre-
liminary hearing before Justice r. +.
Gibson, who let them out on bail, to
appear for hearing ON Nov. 7th
An example should be made of per-
sons who persist in racing horses after
dark, so as to stop the practice before
some one is seriously or fatally in
jured 1t is getting so that it is
unsafe for a person, and especially a
lady. to drive in the evening.

Luren Entertains This Week.

The entertainment given by the
Luren Singing Society at Steyer's
opera house last ev ming was attended
by large number, who as usual
greatly enjoyed the annual concert of
this popular society. The program
opened with pleasing song by
Luren, followed by piano solo, de-
lightfully rendered by Miss Rosetta
Olson, and a tenor solo by H. Baldani
which was heard with much plea
sure. A selection by Oneota Or
chestra, well rendered, was followed
by recitation by Miss Hilda Holm,
which was heartily encored and an
other song by Luren closed the first
part of the program. The second part
consisted of a very laughable farce, a
Chinese Laundry, by Ching Chang

A. Larsen BUYS Easton Clothing Store.

The deal was closed and possession
given on Saturday noon of the w. L.
Easton clothing store to Austin Lar
sen, who is now open for business IN
the stand occupied by Mr.. Easton for
good many years. The retirement
of Mr.. Easton from business circles
after so long career here will be
generally regretted. but his place is
taken by gentleman who is we'll and
favorably known here, and who has
been in the clothing business for a
number of years and understands it
thoroughly. He will without doubt
retain the patronage Mr.. Easton had
and gain many new customers. We
wish him every success.
