OPENING PLAY SPLENDID.
1.-The Girl From Mumms" Delights
Crowded House i'm Opening Bill.

The formal opening of the season
at the Grand opera house on Mon
day night attracted people from
good many miles about, with the re-
suit that Decorah's pretty playhouse
was we'll filled when the curtain was
raised for the opening act of The
Girl From Mumms'. There was no
disappointment in the play. Miss
Olive Vail is as pretty, as chic and vi
vacious as ever, and this play has
been written especially for her She
is a beautiful singer and dancer, as
clever an actress as one often sees,
and she is surrounded by a particu-
larly capable company. The cos
tuning was elaborate and beautiful,
the songs were captivating, and the
entire production ranks well up with
the best of those en- tour. Everyone
who saw the play was delighted with

Supply of Ice Exhausted,

The information that the supply of
ice on hand in DEBORAH had been
practically exhausted and that Tave-
ner Bros. would not be able to supply
residences any more this season, was
received with much chagrin by the
housewives of the city on Monday.
The extreme hot season reduced the
unusually large supply to such an
extent that there is scarcely sufficient
remaining to supply the business
houses, hence the residences will be
compelled to get along without it. At
tempts have been made to ship in
ice, but other places seem to be in
the same condition, the supply on
hand throughout this section, being
practically exhausted.

Burglar i'm Ice Cream Factory.

Some time during Monday night a
burglar effected an entrance to Mr..
Otto Dahljelm's Sugar Bowl ice cream
mandatory on West Water street
by removing a screen and breaking
the glass in window of the barn
from the alley. He went through
the various departments but took
nothing except the cash that was in
the cash drawer in the front office.
A reward of fifty dollars is offered
for information leading to the arrest
and conviction of the guilty party.

Bright Savings of Children.

The city newspapers throughout
the country are giving special atten
ton this summer to the publication
of bright sayings of little children,
and in this connection we think that
the little three-year-old daughter
of DR.. o. l. Refsdahl, who accompan-
led her parents and Rev. H. Halvor-
son from Hayfield, Mimi. to DEBORAH
by auto the other day, made an ex-
preston which is worthy of mention.
They made the 125 mile trip dur
ing the afternoon and driving into
DEBORAH in the evening, DR.. Refsdahl
said to his little daughter: where
are we now?" "Why, this is st. Paul,
Papa" said the bright little girl,
charmed and delighted with our
beautifully lighted Water street.

Fire DESTROYS Barn.

Fire Thursday morning destroyed
the big barn of G. Steine, about a
mile south of the city, and threaten
ed to spread to the house as we'll.
1t is believed TO have started from
spontaneous combustion, the barn
having been filled with new hay. To-
gether with the hay some machin-
cry, harness. buggy and considerable
other property was destroyed. Tele-
phone calls to the city for help were
made and several members of the
fire department went out by auto
with the chemical extinguishers, and
saved the house.

DEBORAH FIRE HAZARDS.
State Fire Prevention Association
Will Go Over Business District
on Sept. 23d.

Arrangements are being completed
for an inspection of the business dis
trict of the city by the members of
the State Fire Prevention Association
on Sept. 23d. The purpose of this
inspection is to discover and bring TO
the attention of property owners and
city authorities such preventable
and removable fire hazards as en-
danger life and property and are
largely responsible for the conflagra-
ton danger which hangs over every
business district. 1t will be made by
men thoroughly conversant with all
forms of fire hazard, and thus able
to point out the defects which so
frequently accumulate through Gus
tom, carelessness or ignorance of the
dangers involved. The purpose of
the visit is the improvement of To-
cal conditions, the reduction of the
fire hazard and the better protection
of life and property, all as a part of
the public-spirited and general cam
paign for the reduction of the proven
table fire waste of the country. This
now amounts to over 100000 a
year and is great drain upon the
national resources. It's reduction de-
Ponds largely upon arousing the in
terest of the individual property-own-
er and of the municipality, and this
can best be secured by such an in
spection visit as is being planned for
this city.
