Play Friday Nicht.

One Of the most interesting and
promising plays of the year, is
George Middleton's dramatization
of +. p. Roe's famous book of
three million readers" Barriers
Burned Away" which managers
Weiser and Bear have arranged for
an engagement for one night at the
Grand, Friday evening, Jan. 6.
The play deals with the love story
of poor young man and a rich
cynical girl who doesn't realize her
love until the barriers of wealth and
position are swept away in the great
Chicago fire.
The play is under the direction
Of Messrs. Gaskell, MacVitty and
who have given it the
mounting and excellent
and well balanced cast that is usual
IN their productions.

session all of last week, and on Sat-

when they will complete the re-
count. Mr.. Murphy, attorney for
Mr.. Carolan, is in court at Waukon
this week, which necessitated the
adjournment. All but nine town
ships I'll precincts) of the county
have been recounted, and thus far
the result reduces Mr.. Qualley's ma
jority 10. However, Mr.. Qualley and
his attorneys state that many of his
ballots thrown out would not stand
the test of the courts, and that the
contest will be taken into the courts
If there is material change. 1t
is the general belief, however, that
the recount will not change the re-
suit, as ii was expected that Mr..
Qualley would lose more votes on
a recount in the north half of the
county and Mr.. Carolan more in the

VIII Erect New Buildings.

Haas & Co., proprietors of one of
the pioneer meat markets of the
city, are planning to erect a fine
modern market in the spring on the
site of their present building. The
market will be fully equipped with
all modern appliances, and will be a
structure that will add much to the
city.
Noecker & Son are also planning,
we understand, to erect a large ga
rage in the spring, to operate in
connection with their auto livery.
This business is developing so rapid
ly that they feel that the investment
would be a safe one, and will put
up fine building. These and sever
al other building projects, including
the new post office, will create quite
a stir in the building line here this
year.

HENRY RENKEN DEAD.
Well Known Contractor Passes to
His Reward After Long ~
Illness.

Mr.. H. S. E. Renken, for many
years a prominent contractor and
builder of this city, closed his eyes
in death just after the opening of
the New Year, at 1850 a. m. Sun
day morning, Jan. LIST, after a long
illness.
Henry Siegfried Emil Renken was
born in Germany, Mar. Z, 1851, and
came to DEBORAH in 1853, where he
has since made his home. He was
married to Miss Anna Niemeyer on
April %, 1877, to which union five
children were born, one of whom,
II. T., preceded him in death.
Those who survive with the wife
and mother are Will H., Chicago,

The funeral services will be held
at 1870 o'clock this Wednesday af-
ternoon from the home, conducted
by the Masonic lodge of this city,
of which he was faithful member
for many years.
Mr.. Renken was a man whose
death has caused the pangs of sor-
row to come to all who knew him.
Honest, upright in all his dealings,
he has had much to do with the
growth and progress of DEBORAH. A
kindly man, a good neighbor and
citizen is gone, and to the bereaved
ones is extended the sympathy of
all.

Mason City Makes Large Growth.

Among the growing Iowa towns
disclosed in the latest bunch of sta
tistics, Mason City takes the head
Of the class. Mason City's 1910
population is 1920, having forged
ahead from 1857 in 1906 and 6,746
in 1900. Mason City has not quite
doubled IN the decade, but has come
close enough to it to do considerable
pointing with pride. Among the
smaller towns GrinneH has made a
creditable showing, Increasing from
$3.50 in 1900 to 1864 in 1905,
and crawling past the 5000 mark
to 5,036 in 1910. Charles City's
increase from 1927 in 1900 to 1892
in 1910 makes that town a live
one" Among the medium sized
towns Marshalltown offers q record
OF steady, If not rapid, development.
Given population of 11,544 in
1900, II increased to 12,045 in 1905
and climbed to 1894 in 1910.
Muscatine, with a present popula-
ton of 1918, has made a gain of
over 1000 for the decade. Iowa
City, starting in 1900 with a popu.
lation of 1887, has slipped past the
coveted 10000 mark to 1901. An
increase of nearly 40 per cent is
something 20 talk about.
