NEW STORE OPENS.
Pearson, Variety Store i'm Barthell
r Bgilding' Opened Today.

Today is the opening of the new
variety store in the Barthell build
ing west of the National Bank OF
DEBORAH, which will be conducted
by Mr.. j. HI. Pearson, who has come
to DEBORAH with his family to make
his home.
The store has been completely re-
modelled, and presents very at
tractive appearance. 1t is one OF
the best location in the city, and
Mr.. Pearson has filled it with new
stock of notions of almost every
conceivable kind. The stock is ar
ranged on shelving along the sides,
and tables with pyramid shelving in
the center, and there are many
which are extremely reason
able in price On today only, open
ing day, he adyertises a regular 40
cent 6 quart blue and white enamel
ed sauce pan for 10 cents. price
which ought to sell all he has on
hand.
Mr.. Pearson will be assisted in the
store by his wife and son and Miss
Mabel Prastmark and il is the
hope Of all that they may enjoy a
goodly patronage.

WHY PAPER is LATE.
High Water and Ice Breaks Electric
Wires and We Are Left Without
81 Power to Operate Machinery

Public Opinion goes to it's readers
several hours late today, the first
time in a number of years, but the
fault is not in this Office, and is be-
yond our control. The mild wealth
er of the past few days and the pro-
longed rain swelled the creeks and
river to the banks, and an immense
ice gorge collected on the fiat be-
hind the college, which gave way
yesterday afternoon and came down
the river with terrific force, over
flowing its banks until it covered the
fiat north of this Office. The stor-
rent was full of huge pieces of ice,
trees, logs, ETC., and presented
sight which attracted the attention
of everyone who came up town. The
main pole line OF the Upper Iowa
Power Co., runs near the river bank
and the ice broke down two or
three poles and severed the wires,
so that the north side of Water
street was without electric light or
power from yesterday (Tuesday)
noon until nearly noon today (Wed-
nesday), the company falling to re-
pair the damage or supply us with
current in any other way. The news
paper offices of the city, the electric
theatres and several other establish
ments are entirely dependent upon
electric light and power, and with
no power it is absolutely impossible
for is to give you pape. on time.
We regret it exceedingly. but it
simply can't be helped.

One of the most dangerous look
ing fires from spectators stand
point ever occurring in DEBORAH
broke out about 20 minutes to
twelve today in the Relf building oc-
cupied by the Ruen Cloak Store and
Solberg's photograph gallery, and
for a few minutes looked as if the
entire block was doomed The ORR
gin of the fire is unknown, it break
ing out in the Cloak Store. Miss
Ruen and one of the clerks were the
only occupants of the store at the
time, and were standing up towards
the front of the building, when a
blaze was discovered in the rear of
the store. Miss Ruen and the
clerk rushed to the flames in hopes
of checking it, but were compelled
to turn instantly and flee for their
lives from the building and give the
alarm. They escaped just in time,
as in almost the flash of an eye the
flames shot through the entire build
ing and blew the plate glass front
out with a deafening explosion. The
fire department was on the scene in
about five minutes and three power
full streams were playing on the fire
and it was under control in 10 min
utes. No fire in the history of De-
corah ever done so much damage in
| the space of few minutes as this
one. 1t Quilted the entire lower
floor, burning to a crisp practically

and Mrs. liver Myren, in this city,
occurred the marriage of their only
daughter Miss Rikka to William C.
Ulmer, Rev. Otto Schmidt officiat-

John Peterson and Miss Lola Lee.
This is a union of two very es-
Unable young people. The bride
has grown to young womanhood in
DEBORAH and Is a very popular and
we'll liked young lady among large
circle of friends. The groom is well
known in DEBORAH, being in the
employ of the Wells-Fargo Express
Co.. as messenger, running between
Calmar and DEBORAH. He is young
man of sterling worth and in his
frequent trips here has made many
friends, and all join in extending
sincere congratulations to himself
and bride. They departed on the
midnight train for Austin, and will
spend part of their honeymoon in
that city visiting his parents.
