Meager details OF the wreck are to
the effect that the freight train was
attempting to take q siding to let the
passenger pass. but had only partly
run on the main line when the pas

crashed into 1t. The chair car OF the
passenger train was torn in two and

AN AUSPICIOUS OPENING.
1.-The Red Mill" Opens the Fall Sea-
son at the Grand With Packed
House. Everybody Pleased.

The regular fall theatrical season
of the Grand Opera House opened
last night in most suspicious man
ner with the musical comedy success.
THE Red Mill" The beautiful play
house was packed from pit to dome
with one of the most appreciative
audiences that ever greeted a show
there. The surrounding towns were
all well represented and all were de-
lighted. The Red Mill" company
is large one and fun makers from
start to finish. The costumes were
fine and the lady chorus was excel
lent, and the many popular songs of
the day that We're sung were received
with much applause.
Bert Swor and Franker Woods as
Con Kidder and Kidd Connor were
the main fun producers and they
surely produced lot of it, receiving
encore after encore. Carl Hartberg
as the Dutch Red Mill inn-keeper
contributed a goodly amount of mirth
and the audience was in a continuous
uproar of laughter throughout the
whole show. The songs were numer-
Gus and all made a hit, especially so
"Good-a-Dye John" and Because
You're you" In the latter song the
six little Dutch Riddles" appeared
and made a decided hit.
Managers Weiser and Bear are 10
be congratulated on the high class
shows they bring to DEBORAH, and its
no easy task to secure such plays as
they do. But DEBORAH has proven a
good show town and has reason to,
owing to the excellent judgment of
the managers in securing such high
class attractions. The best there is
is none to good for DEBORAH and the
managers are surely giving it to us.
The next attraction is on October
10Th, when Mr.. Harry Scott will pre-
sent the melodrama, The Girl From
U. S. A The Indianapolis, Ind.

A Great Sight.

We had the pleasure this week of
looking through the immense fur
coat section of the Ben Bear store
and the sight that met our eyes
would make Cook and Peary turn
green with envy, as its huge display
Of furs was something wonderful
Some 400 coats, from the high grade
fur lined ones down to the very
lowest priced coats met our gaze.
1t is conceded fact that no other
store in the state carries such a
line, and it's well worth anyone's
time to step in and see them. The
coats packed close together would
stretch out longer than a city block.
