A GREAT LECTURE COMING.

Through the efforts of Supt. Failor
Denison is to enjoy rare intellectual
treat on Sunday, December is. Hon.
Robert X. Nourse will on that date de-
liver his famous lecture on "Why am
not an Inlidel.' The usual charge
made for delivering this lecture is a
large one, but DR.. Nourse has consent
ed to address the people OF Denison
on this subject free of cost. The
churches of the city will be asked to
hold union services at the Opera House
on that evening, and this they will
doubtless be glad to do.

Washington. Dec. 1.-Consul Skinner.
at Marseilles, reports that DR.. Calmette,
OF the Pasteur Institute at Lille, has
discovered an anti-venomous serum, by
means of which the poisoning from
snake bites can always be checked and
ceath prevented, if the serum be in
jected within four hours after the per-
son has been bitten. DIR. Calmette, in
addition to his scientific discoveries, has
provided means for the creation of a
costly equipment at the Pasteur In

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Eight volumes of Review of Current
History" have been added to the High
Schools library. This set is a very
complete one, and will no doubt be used
to great advantage by teachers and
pupils.
There has been some discussion
among prominent educators as to
whether there should be an afternoon
session of the kindergarten. The Chi
cago School Board recently decided to
make the session al all day one, but
the general opinion is that the other
mode is the better. The Denison KIN.
dergarten is open only in the forenoon.
1t is not very improbable that re-
turn football game will be played with
the Harlan team. The members of the
High School wish to thank those OUT
side the school for their support of the
team, and especially to those who
played. Ralph seymour did us good
service as full back in the game with
the college, and Clyde Seymour, George
Sprecher, Alfred Larson and Arthur
Green in the other positions.
The School Board will hold meet
ing next Monday evening.

THE PUMPKIN SOCIAL.

just as predicted the Pumpkin social
held at the home of Mrs. r. A. Romans
on Wednesday evening was one of the
Jolllest things of the kind ever wit
messed in Denison. The house was
handsomely decorated, Jack lanterns
being one of the principal features.
Uncle Josh and his wife, two artistically
dressed pumpkin heads received much
attention. The supper was bountiful
and the tables were crowded from $50
until 8 o'clock, when the program be-
gan. Miss Mclaughlin rendered very
pretty instrumental solo. She is a
splendid artist and has proven a most
desirable addition to Denison's musical
circles. 1.-The Sunflowers" were the
events of the evening. Ten as pretty
girls as there are on the face of the
earth looked through an artistic screen.

whose chief source of information
seems to have been derived from county
fairs asked how many throws you got

Ihe girls sang a sunhower song and
withdrew from the screen one by one,
gracefully lodging the paper pellets
thrown ty the same wicked youths.
They then came forward as walltlowers
but were too pretty to remain that way
long and marched off triumphantly with
their beaux.
A well rendered solo by DR.. Gibson
was enthusiastically encored and he
sang rollicking song of a "Fidgetty
Wife," which we fear reacted ON him
later in the evening. Miss Masters
gave two readings which were received
with great applause, the first "When
the Frost is on the Pumkin" being
particularly apropos. The last number
was the song Of the Pumkin Pie, which
related the marvellous growth of the
plant and the subsequent transmigra-
tion of it's soul into the succulent and
ever welcome pie. Mrs. Romans added
much to the tastiness of the song by

LIKELIHOOD OF the Treaty Being
Signed Within a Week.
Paris, Dec. 1.-THE work of the peace
commissioners is proceeding rapidly
and, unless there is an unexpected
hitch, the treaty will be signed within
q week.
The peace Commissions did not hold
q joint session Thursday owing to the
fact that it was ascertained at two p.
m. that the preliminary clerical work
was not completed. 1t was therefore
agreed by the presidents to defer the
next meeting until two o'clock Friday
afternoon.
Gen. Wesley Merritt, who arrived
here from London leaving his wife con-
valescent there, was in consultation
with the American commission all
Thursday morning, relative to the con-
ditions and necessary measures in the
Philippine islands.
Gen. Merritt expects to sail for New
York on December 10 and hopes to re-
sumo his duties in California or New
York until his retirement, 1s months
hence.

GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.
Blizzard in East Hoyer-Whole Corps OF
Milwaukee R'y Engineers Wiped Out
Contributed

This afternoon two reliable citizens
of Denison, suspecting that a great
calamity had befallen the Milwaukee
railroad and Denison in particular,
braved the terrible snow drifts and
after getting as near as possible to the
engineers camp near Zimmerman's
farm, found the whole camp with all
the men and horses completely buried
out OF sight. Not man nor horse has
been seen to come to the surface since
they were seen last Monday. The tall
est stakes they have set are not to be
seen.
Mr.. Jackson, agent at Manila, has
sent to Chicago for. four snow plows
and two hundred shovelers to dig the
bodies out. A new set of engineers
will have to be procured before the line
can be run into Denison.

THAT GIRL.

That Girl by the Olga Lorraine COM
pany drew good house here on Tues
day. The company was above the aver
age. The dancing by Miss Lorraine
showed her to be prima donna of the
first grade. Some of the jokes were of
as late vintage as the earlier part of this
century and provoked great amount
of mlrth. Some of the singing was
good also. We regret that all of the
jokes and songs were not of as refined
a nature as they should have been.
Taken on the whole, however, it was
better than the average run of reper-
toire companies.

Jority of the Reina Christmas crew
were killed or drowned, but some of
the men were picked up by the Spanish
feet and the ships exact loss In men
cannot now be ascertained. The flag
ship burned iercely during the rest of
the fight, but sank before any explosion
could occur. She Is a total wreck. All
this had taken place within sixty min
utes. There was not a gun on board
the American feet which had not been
used, and most Of them had done exc
cution. The Spanish cruiser Reina
Mercedes was engaged by the Balti-
more and Concord, the shells Of which
did frightful damage to her, and she
was Obliged to retire behind the Span
ish line. The Boston and Raleigh did
splendid work along with their sister
ships.
The battery which had been rugged

shots at the enemy, but was quickly
disabled by the American guns. The
Cavite battery kept UP a steady can
nonading upon the American feet, but
many of It's shots fell short and some
came nearer to the Spanish boats than
to the Americans. After the battle
had ragged for an hour the American
feet retired by twos to the Nashan and

mainder of the feet keeping up the
fight. None OF Commodore Dewey's
feet showed any apparent injury to the
Spanish feet. They Unanswered with
as much ease as though they were

OF the hardest knocks were directed at
the Reina Maria Christina. Her cap

killed by a shell, and almost in the
same instant a full broadside from two
American ships struck the Spanish
boat, killing two officers and a large
number OF men. Just then the Maria
Christina was discovered to DE on fire
and sinking. The crew broke from all
discipline and rushed to the sides,

ferring to trust to their powers as
swimmers, rather than suffer the fate
of their companions of the Don Juan.

Americans, seeing that it would be a
waste Of powder, turned their attention
to the other boats.

The weather was calm and sultry and

haze. SO common to early morning In

through which the rays Of the coming

hues. Gradually, however, this lifted.
and the dim outlines OF the hills In the

OF the Spanish fleet, but the Americans
knew they were but a few minutes

They and their commanding officers
seemed unable to locate any OF the
American ships In time to deliver the
b~roadsides where they intended. No
sooner would a gun be sighted than
the whole American squadron would
have seemed to change position, and
the Spanish shots simply churned the

did take effect did so almost without

so many corks. The tearing OF steel,
the splitting OF climbers. even the
shrieks OF the wounded could be plain
ly heard following this awful noise.
Dead bodies of men were seen flying
through the air, while the survivors
were noticed jumping from the decks.
The Don Juan careened over to port,
righted again and dipped once more
and began to sink rapidly. Hardly a
seconds time elapsed between the
striking of the fatal shot and the ex-
plosion, but it seemed TO the watchers
that it was five minutes.
The shot undoubtedly penetrated
and exploded the Don Juan's maya
zines. The Americans had an oppor-
tunity to see this, for at that moment
the dense clouds Of smoke had settled
in the direction of the Spanish line,
while the American ships were COM
p~aratively free. The vice consuls re-
port says: "The VIGOROUSLY bad
craftsmanship of the Spaniards was
apparent from the start. The fleet was
managed with daring and skill, but al
though numerically stronger than its
enemy, it was no match for it in gun
merry. The latter was splendid, and
much regret is expressed that our naval
representatives were not given a better
opportunity to take note OF an engage
ment which must mark an epoch in
naval warfare" AS a matter of fact,
the Raleigh, Boston and Baltimore
were reported to have been struck by
Spanish shells and several men killed
and wounded, but the victims, having
been landed at a distant point upon
the shore, the names could not be as
certained at the time the Spanish au-
thorities cut the cable or at least stop
ped its use at Manila.
When the Don Juan blew up a cheer
arose from each OF the American fleet
and again the cry went up, "Remem-
Der the Maine. The Maine is avenged"
From his post Commodore Dewey gave
out his orders and these commands
were to keep ~maneuvering. 1t was this
order which rendered the shots from
the Spanish gunners S % ineffective.
