A New Hunting Law.

One of the most sweeping and far
reaching national game laws ever
enacted went into effect Oct. 1st.
and the government has sent copies
of the Weeks-McLean migratory
bird law to all parts of the coun-
try so as to give the authorities and
the hunters throughout the country
chance to become acquainted with
the provisions OF the law. The law
fixes the seasons for shooting MI
gratory birds and also divides the
country into two zones, northern
and a southern, in order that the
birds may be protected to the full
lest extent. Twenty-Five states are
in the northern zone, while the
southern zone comprises the re-
naming twenty-three states. The
shooting season for the two zones
varies according to the classificatlon
of the four classes of migratory
birds. Spring shooting is absolute
ly prohibited, as is the shooting oil
migratory birds between sunrise and
sunset. In most cases three months
of open shooting for water fowl are
allowed, and in no case will there
be less than thirty days, when
birds may be shot during the period
of their greatest abundance.

More Big Attractions Coming.

So well pleased with the proouc-
ton and success of James X. iia,-
kett in The Prisoner of Zenda, -
Manager Relf of the Princess Thea
ire has contracted with the Famous
Players Film Co., of New York, for
the entire output of their great
plays in films. Besides setting a
new standard in motion pictures,
these films also establish new
price for film rentals, one film cost
ing more to exhibit than the whole
weeks program of the ordinary
picture show. In fact, several of
the nearby towns larger than De-
corah could not see their way clear
to take contracts on account of the
large amount involved.
1t is probable that the next play
to be presented will be Mrs. Fiske,
in Tess of the D'Ubervilles" five
parts, although it is possible Sarah
Bernhard, in Queen Elizabeth"
will be seen first.
1t is planned to offer one famous
player production every other Fri
day, as soon as the circuit is COM
pleted. A matinee and two night
shows will be given and prices will
be made as low as possible consid-
ering the high quality of the pro-
grams offered.

The climax 70 the celebration at
Spillville Sunday was the arrest of
Frank Voldan, who was brought to
DEBORAH Monday night and given
trial before Justice H. F. Barthell,
who found him guilty of assault
and battery and fined him $500

an alteration with John Klima,
which ended by his telling ANNA

place there would be trouble. In
the evening Klima and another
man went to Voldan's home, when
the latter got a shot gun and telling
them to leave his premises shot
towards his house, they thinking

Occupying the New Bank.

Probably tonight the Winnie
shiek County State Bank will move
from its temporary quarters in the
NARROW building into the new
structure. This is necessarily done
so as to give up the former build
ing to the carpenters and decora-
tors who will install the fixtures and
complete the decorations for M. j.
Soukup, who will soon occupy it
with a handsome modern jewelry
establishment, unquesrionably the
finest in northern Iowa.
The bank will be able to take care
of its business in the new building,
even though the work of finishing
the interior is only partially finish
ed. The decorating of the walls
and the installing of the inverted
light electric chandeliers under the
handsome art dome has brought
out the rare beauty and harmony of
the interior finish, and as the work
proceeds each day adds to the COM
pleteness and charm of the entire
structure. The furniture has ar
rived, and the work of installation
will begin at once, while the finish
ing of the floors and the rest of the
work inside will all be pushed as
rapidly as is consistent with first
class workmanship. Within thirty
days DEBORAH will possess the hand
soonest banking house in the Mis-
sisippi valley.

"MOvies" Present Fine Programs

Movies Present Fine Programs.
The past week in the Movies" in
DEBORAH has been one of the pest
since they opened here. in each of
the three theatres exceptionally
high class films have been shown,
and the vaudeville numbers have
been on the order of those seen only
in the big city theatres. The NOV
ing picture theatre is not only a
cheap and satisfactory means of
amusement and entertainment, but
an education and recreation that
may be productive of much good to
a community if rightly conducted,
and no one who has visited the
theatres of DEBORAH of late could
find anything but to commend. They
are all worthy of the patronage of
the public so long as they are con-
Quoted as now, and the programs
as a rule are much better than those
usually seen in a city of five thous-
and people.
