COUNCIL IN SESSION.

LaSC evening Cloro was meoClng OF
the city council which was quite we'll
attended. AS had been previously adj
vertlsed bids were received for the lay
ing of 900 feet of 4.inch water main.
There was but one bid handed in, that
of Mr.. H. F. Hodges, who offered to
dig the ditch and lay the main for
eleven cents per foot, the city to fur
nish all necessary material on the
ground. Mr.. Hodges was awarded the
contract.
An ordinance, which appears else.
where. was introduced and adopted.
The ordinance provides for the trim
ming of trees along the streets and al
lies. Hereafter all trees shall be trim.
med so that there will be q space of
eight feet from the walk to the limbs
and the street commissioner or any
member of the street committee shall
have the power to order the trees trim
med, and if not done SO within five days
from notice, the city will trim them
and charge expense to the property.
An ordinance lowering the grade along
some portions of Walnut street was
also adopted.
Mr.. j. p. Conner, acting in behalf of
Denison Electric Light Co.. appeared
before the council and stated that the
contract between his company and the
city for the lighting of the streets had
expired, and that he would like to re-
new the contract. A committee was
appointed to confer with Mr.. Conner
and draft an ordinance or contract and
submit the same at the next regular
meeting.
Gov. Shaw has written Mayor KEN
ming that if the city would make re-
quest and pay the freight charges a
Spanish cannon, captured on the Cub
an battle fields would be sent to the
CRY. There will be only two of these
cannons in the state-one was given to
Des Moines and the other Denison will
get. The council very promptly made
the desired request, and no doubt the
cannon will be shipped Immediately.
Thus with the Capt. Partridge gun
Denison can throw up Notifications and
defend herself heroically. 1t was very
kind and thoughtful of the governor in
getting this gnn for Denison; there are
larger cities in the state that would
have given premium for it.

THAT VAIL hoss RACE.

Quite q story has been going the
rounds lately about the way some Vail
sports got taken in the Fourth of July.
There was to be a horse race for q
purse of $500. The purse did not
amount to much but it is said there was
considerable money up on the side and
q great deal of interest was excited.
One running horse of more than local
fame was entered and when it made its
appearance on the track with its dainty
blanket and little Jockey in silk pants
and regular jockey uniform, it created
sensation. Several other well known
horses were entered, horses that had
raced before and the sports gave them
loud applause. About this time far
mer drove up, unhitched his horse and
put saddle on. He mounted and any,
one would have said that the hundred
and sixty pound rider was enough to
handicap any horse.
Now if there is anyone thing our
Vail friends know more about than
another it is running ''hoss.' When
Vail saw the country horse with great
patches of hair worn off, where the
traces rubbed against him. and with
marks of the collar on his neck, it in
dulged in uproarious mirth. ..Come
off the perch, Hans" IF you want to
be in it at the finish you better start
now, (" This is not the slow mule race''
were among the guns of wit flung at
the new rider and his steed. The sixty
pound Jockey on the prettily blanketed
horse shifted contemporary at being
obliged to ride in such company.
The start was made and the horses
were we'll away before the countryman
realized that the race was on, then he
started too. The farm horse seemed to
have pretty good stride, he gained on
the bunch ahead, when the course was
half run he was in second place. The
Jockey on the pretty horse was not so
slow however and he guided closer and
closer to the edge of the track, getting
the farm horse into what Jockeys call a
pocket" Suddenly the farm horse
slowed up little, slid out on the other
side of the track and started for the
goal. As the summer lightning fitfully
plays along the horizon, moment here
and moment there, so did this pillow
horse go. There was split in the at
m0sphere, a sudden rush of hOofs and
Chris and his pillow horse crossed the
line fully twenty feet ahead. 1t was
Chris turn to sniff CONTEMPORARY and
we are told that he didit. He garnered
in his flyer, hitched his horse to the
buggy, and went up town and bought a
gallon of ice cream and sat down to
solid comfort. The horse belonged to
Chas. Tabor, and although working be-
fore the pillow he has pedigree as long
as the moral law. The feelings of the
''hoss men" can better be imagined
than described.

chine, and household goods to the total
amount of $3.50, are the values placed
upon bis personal belongings by Mr..
VIM. j. Bryan in answer to the tax as

pleasing impression among his admirers
that Mr.. Bryan is really one of the peo-

closer scrutiny, however, discloses the
unpleasant fact that Mr.. Bryan has
either driven exceedingly hard bargains
in the acquisition of all the necessities
and some of the luxuries of life and has
used dollars of exceedingly great pur-
chasing power, or else he has. like ordi-

FOOLED. THE cATAMouNT,
And the Ugly Beast Plainly Showed
That His Feelinrs Were Hurt.

s.sse
"People who imagine that animals
haven't got feelings don't know what
they are talking about" said the Vel
lowstone Park guide as he sat clean
ing his rifle. II was cutting q trail
around one of the sproutin springs one
day, and, getting warmed up, threw
my coat over the end of log. BY and
by went off to hunt for drink of
water, and it was perhaps half an hour
before returned to my work.
"When I came up. 1t was to see q
whalin big mountain lion creepin along
Z to spring on the coat. 1t was over the
log in way to make it look like a man
deceived. He skulked up to within 1S
feet of the log, crouched fiat for mo-
ment and laid back his ears, and then
he made two Jumps of 1t. Creased
lightnin wasn't In it with that critter.
1t was like big ball of fur shot from
a cannon, and rs he flew he uttered q
screech which brought my hair on end.
If that coat had been man he would
not have had time to say gum. The lion
lit down on 1t with claws and teeth
ready for business, and in five seconds
the garment was cut into carpet rags.
+Then he realized the cheat, and you
never saw human bein look so fool
ish. His tail went down to the earth,
the fire died out Of his eyes and he'd
have given $40 for some one to kick
him up hill. His chagrin was so plain
that 1 laughed right out, and that
broke his heart He looked at me and
whimpered like puppy, and when
asked if his mother knew he was out
he fetched sort of sob IN his throat
and sneaked off like a dog caught kill
in sheep. If I could have run fast
enough to have caught him by the tail
he would't have even looked back. He
knew he had made fool Of himself
and he wanted to go off and hide and
have a long think. Chicago Inter

The County Convention.

The republican county convention
was well attended considering the busy
season and the fact that but little bust
ness was to be transacted. 1t was
pleasant reunion of republican workers
and it left no sore spots to be healed
and no hard feelings to be overcome.
The evident intent of all present was
to contribute as much as possible to
4 Governor Shaw's success. All felt the
necessity for harmonious action and
nothing outside was allowed to inter
fere with the devotion to Crawford's
favorite son. Political wise acres will
have hard time trying to figure out
any senatorial significance In the con-
vention just held. 1t was Shaw con-
vention and republican convention
and nothing else. The fact is that
Crawford county republicans have a
well defined idea that they would not
have to go outside of their own county
to find the best senatorial timber in the
state. 1t may not be available this
year but they have an eye on it just the
same. The republicans of Crawford
were never in more harmonious con-
dition or freer from personal jealousies
and animosities. 1t is always the
small thing which prevents success.
The welfare of the party is too often
lost sight of in the heat of personal
antagonisms. We are glad to say that
these personal frictions have been re-
duced to the minimum and that the
party is in splendid time to meet their
political opponents. This is republic
can year, you can see it in the happy,
prosperous looking faces, you can hear
it in the ringing of the hammers and
the sounds of busy life on every hand.
The great engines hauling their inn
mense burdens up and down the valley
proclaim with giant voices the return
Of prosperity.
Crawford county republicans appre-
ciate these facts. They know that it
is going to take an awful sight of
calamity bowling to make the people
dissatisfied with existing conditions.
The people are too busy just now to
listens to the hypocritical winnings
The s'lean" years have gone by and the
fat years have come, the years of re.
publican prosperity. The people ap
preciate this and everything points to
q continuance Of the wise policies
which have 30 greatly aided in the
bringing Of good times. The conven
ton was thoroughly harmonious and
its effects will be only for good.
Two years ago the republican dele
gates went into the State convention
prepared to work for Shaw's nomina
ton. This year Shaw has done tn,
work himself. His record has mad
his denomination certain.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-secretary Of
State Hay, when asked If Senior Regf-
dor, the Filipino envoy, would be per-
mitted to appear before the Philippine
commission, said:
81 have heard that he contemplated
visiting the United States and would
present some such plan as that outlined
by the newspapers. He would have no
official or diplomatic status in Washing
ton, either as the agent of the Flip no
insurgents or as diplomatic repres nta-
tive of the so-caled Filipino government.
The question of his being heard by the
Philippine peace commission rests
tirely with the commission. The state
department is not concerned in the mat
ter in any way"
The basis of demands of the Filipinos
for the establishment of an ind pendent
government will be contained in me-
mortal to be filed with the commission
as coming from a number of leading
residents of several of the larger islands
in the Philippine archipelago, represent
ing various races, and not by any means
confined to the Filipino. This memorial
will recite that the Filipino government,
which was established June IS, 1885, was
directly inspired by the example of the
United States; that at the time of the
adoption of the so-called government the
natives, who were in majority and by
every right should govern the is.anGs,
found themselves superior in position as
to their control of their country to that
Of the Americans when the American
Declaration Of Independence was framed
The memorial will plead that this country
should not repudiate the example based
upon its own experience in resisting con-
ditions similar to those which the United
States contested century ago.
The Filipino envoy, Senior Regidor, WILL
1t is said, not confine himself to diplo-
matte representations. If he is refused
an official status he will Immediately
start newspaper propaganda much after
the fashion of that instituted by the
Cuban junta during the early years of
their war. He will endeavor to have
literatu favorable to the Filipinos pub
lished in the Congressional Record, which
will be distributed throughout the coun-
try, and in this manner arouse sympa by
for his people.
