Harry KOmornik to Leave.

Harry Komornik, who has been en-
gagged in the upholstering business
in DEBORAH for the past several years
will leave DEBORAH soon to make his
home in Streator, ILL.,, a hustling
city of 1900. Mr.. Komornik was
induced to locate there, while in
Chicago last week on business.
Streator offers him a larger field for
his work, and as he is an expert
workman, we know he will enjoy a
good patronage. During his resi-
dence in DEBORAH Harry has made
many friends who regret to see him
leave, and all wish him the best
there is in his new home.

Saloon License $4,000 a Year.

Denver is the name of a little
crossroads village a few miles from
Waterloo 1t boasts one flourishing
industry-a saloon, which, since the
Punishment of the Waterloo thirst
parlors, has become the mecca of
hundreds of Waterloo people who
repair to Denver nightly with yawn-
ing suit cases. The receipts of this
saloon are said to average from
$500 to 5000 a day, and the proprie-
tor has been paying the town II
cense of $4,000 a year Now the
august council of Denver, dismayed
at the rapidity with which this sa-
loonkeeper is amassing wealth, has
decided to increase the license to
$4,000. This is four times the Ii
cense of Iowa saloons, but few sa-
looms have the inestimable privil-
eye of quenching the thirst of city
of 10000 people.
