SENSATIONAL TRIAL BEGUN,
John H. Collins Charged with MUIR
der of His Rather ut To-
pcl,n, Kan.

Topeka Kan, Nov. 2s.-The trial of
John Henry Collins for the murder of
his father, j. S. Collins, was commenced
in the district court to-day. The trial
promises to be one of the most sensit-
tional ever tried in this city.
j. S. Collins, prominent citizen and
real estate dealer, was shot twice while
asleep in his own home on May 13, at five
o'clock in the morning. The shooting
was done with Mr.. Collins own gun,
which was secured from closet adjoin-
ing his bedroom.
John II. Collins, son of the murdered
man, was attending the Kansas univer-
sity at the time of the murder, and was
deeply in love with young lady of Law
renee, Kan. To secure his share of the
insurance on his fathers life, some
$4,000 or $1,000, to enable him to prose
cute his suit with this young lady, is
said to be the motive for the crime.
The work of securing jury will prob
ably occupy several days, and the tria
| will be a long one.

SOMETHING NEW.

In this issue of the REVIEW me
Bros. offer a novel method to the people
of this county to get good clothing for
almost nothing. We would advise our
readers to study the details of the plan
carefully, there is no catch in it. The
firm simply asks you to assist them in
making sales and by so doing you get
your clothing for almost nothing as said
before. This plan has been carried on
with success by other firms in other
places and the fact that it is offered to
the people by such responsible firm as
Slime Bros. is known to be, is sufficient
guarantee that they mean ell they say
and that the plan is an honest and far
one.

and prosperous little city of Denison.

territory, and the splendid railroad
facilities make it SO that | can be home
nearly every night. In fact L Go not
know of better railroad town in the
state. The main line of the North
western gives us splendid mail service
as does the Illinois Central and one can
send letter to Chicago, st. Paul, Min
neapolis, Sioux City, Des Moines or
Omaha at almost any hour of the day
My trip takes me out over all four
roads l go north on the Northwestern
to Algona and on the Central as far as
Fort Dodge. The Milwaukee branch
connects with the Sioux City and Da-
kota branch at Buck Grove and with
the main line at Manila, enabling me
to make all that territory. 1t also goes
north striking a number of good towns.
The Sioux City and Des Moines is also
a good outlet, it has lot of good towns
and makes fine cutoff over which to
make the towns on the Milwaukee east
OF Manning, as it goes southeast from
here almost in an air line to Des Moines.
In fact, L never saw a place where one
could make so many towns with so little
mileage. The hotel Accommodations are
tirst-claSS and lots of the ''boyS' Sun
day here. so there is always a merry
crowd in town.
All the roads have good depots, but
the NorthweSeern's at the foot of Main
street takes the cake and would do
credit even to a much larger place.
The people are net so slow either. They
have not had their heads turned by
prosperity, but they are willing to spend
their money when it will benefit the
town. They have some fine school
buildings and churches, fine sewage
system, and the business streets and
those leading to the depots are paved in
brick. My wife likes it here very much,
she says ste can buy goods as cheaply
as in Omaha, the schools are excellent,
the college, which is a very prosperous
and thourough institution, gives us a
splendid chance to give our oldest boy,
Sam, a good business education at very
little cost. Besides this the town is
quiet and orderly and the young folks
have fewer temptations than in larger
places.
Denison is getting to be quite a
wholesale point. Some of the old re-
tail merchants took advantage of the
new railroads to go into the wholesale
line and they have done finely. The
fact that this is the freight division for
the Northwestern, east, west and north,
for the Illinois Central and the S. C. &
D. M. enables them to get theix goods
out much quicker than from those
houses whose goods have to lie over i;
day or so at some division. This is the
center OF one OF the largest butter and
egg houses in the state Nicholson

Judge n M. Hubbard of the North

day While here he accorded an inter
view to a representative of the REVIEW.

prepared to do great things for Denison.

The distance is about seventeen miles

twice as much and this will more than
compensate for the extra distance.

Big Fire at Kan.a. city.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 2s.-Fire in
the big furniture establishment of Rob-
ert Keith & Co., at Eleventh and Grand
avenue, caused a loss on stock roughly
estimated at $150,000, and on building
of $4,000. The stock was insured for
so per cent. of its value. The building,
owned by DIR. John Bryant, of lnde-
pendence, was amply protected. The
Keith house was one of the biggest OF
its kind in the west and carried stock
valued at quarter of million dol
lars.
A later estimate places the loss on
stock at from 100000 to $4,000; in
surance, $1s5,0O0.

The COUNCIL MET.

The city council was called together
in extra session last night to consider an
ordinance relative to vacating Dyer
street at the request of the Northwestern.
Considerable talk was INDUCED in but
the council was not called to order as
City Solicitor Wright gave it as his
opinion that an ordinance could not be
passed at an extra session. The opinion
seemed to prevail among the councilmen
that they We're willing to meet the rail

and that nothing may be put in the way

gave rise to a rumor that he had come
to make representations to the depart
ment respecting certain rights claimed
by. Germany in the Sulu islands.
Whether this is true or not could not
be ascertained. The department, how
ever, has not failed to take notice of
certain indirect and suspicious at
tempts to ALLEVIATE the Sulu islands
from the rest of the Philippines and
has been forehanded in this matter. 1t
was recognized from the beginning.
and this lesson was learned from the
experience of other nations that have
gone to war in recent years, that at
tempts might be expected to be made
by nations that were not party to the
war to secure advantages to which they
had not the slightest equitable claim.
Japan was notable sufferer from this
sort of treatment at the hands of GER
tain European nations, and consequent
ly precautions We're taken in the case
of the Paris commission to avoid leay-
ing any loophole for the entrance OF
any plea or demand for special privi-
leges either in the matter of territorial,
acquisition or trade concessions.
1t is believed that the definition of
the limits of the Philippine group in
the American demands was as follows;
From degrees 80 minutes north lati-
tude to 10 degrees IS minutes north

And the Milwaukee Came Also

This morning a party of engineers
representing the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul Railway passed through Deni-
son. They have been making pre-
liminary survey of a route beginning at
Manila, running north along the course
of the Nishnabotny and thence north
west along Walnut Creek to Denison.
The proposed route swings around
through Denison in the neighborhood of
the Northwestern tracks, thence north
up the west Boyer Valley to Big Greek
toward Hohenzollern. 1t is said that
the line Will be extended north to q
point of juncture with the Iowa and
Dakota Division somewhere i'll the
neighborhood of Sheldon.

way is the one which opens onto block
IL, that this is the only practicable and
most convenient place in which to To-
cate their depot both for their own
convenience and that of the public.
They further set forth that the Boyer
Valley Company is in reality but a
branch of the Chicago and North
western Ry, and that said company
already owns more suitable lands for
the location of their station and depot
grounds, and that in fact they intend to
locate them at the juncture of the
Boyer Valley and Northwestern lines.
Therefor the court is asked to enioin
the Boyer Valley company from pro-
ceeding with condemnation proceedings
against block IL.
1t appears that the Boyer Valley Co.
has served condemnation notice en-
block II the same to be appraised on
the 5th day of December. For this
reason it is asked that immediate
action be taken to prevent the carrying
out OF the notice.
The notice as served by the North
western people states that they wish to
use block II ssfor depot grounds, wood
and water stations, excavations and
embankments, for depositing waste
earth and for bermes, and waste banks,
and borrowing pits.
The filing of this petition is import
ant, as it is the first information of a
definite character OF. the precise location
of the Illinois Central line 1t is also
important as showing that the two
roads are in dead earnest and the pro
posed extensions will surely be built. 1t
is said that the injunction proceedings
will be heard on Saturday next by
Judge Church OF course this is legal
matter with which the people of Deni-
son have nothing to do, but we know
that it is the unanimous opinion of the
people that neither road shall act as a
dog in the manger, and that both should
have fair and equal opportunity to
make the extensions contemplated.
