Mr.. E. THEN has long been noted
in this county as a breeder of fine fancy
poultry. the following letter received
from John Wharton, of Yorkshire,
England. shows how Mr.. Thiem's
Crawford county chickens are appre-
ciated abroad.

letter from me ere this to say how the
Partridge cock Grover has done in the

has won two medals, four gold and
other specials, nine lirsts and one sec.

Palace Show. He is greatly admired
and he now looks at his best. If you
have a real good rooster of Growers

at any time just let me know and am

Mr.. THEM has shipped many chick

inquiries for them from over the world.

THE RAILROAD DECISION.

The railway injunction cases were
decided at jefferson on Saturday morn
ing. The Northwestern gains block II
as prayed and the Illinois Central is
prevented from condemning right of
way through blocks Is, etc. To the
friends of the Illinois Central this
seems jug handle decision, while the
Northwestern advocates think it was
just right. The REVIEW as a nonpar-
tisan knows nothing about the matter,
hut is inclined to give Judge Church
credit for honesty in his decision.
There is one thing we do know, how
ever, and that is that the Illinois Cen
trail must come to Denison. 1t would
seem that the Northwestern linei is as
sured, and while not wishing to give
that line the cold shoulder in any way !,
and while favoring concession to it OF
all it's officials may reasonably ask, It is
now the business of Denison to turn its
attention to assisting to secure for the
Illinois Central good and favorable de-
pot grounds and location. We are
thankful for what we have but like
Oliver Twist we want more" 1t
should be the business of the city
council to do everything in it's power to
assist the Central. We are assured that
there is grave danger of the Illinois
Central passing Denison by. or locating
its depot on the far grounds. This
must not be. One cannot be sure as to
what railroad company will do.
Larger towns than this have been fool.
ed by over confidence. The Milwaukee
passed Cedar Rapids and located its
shops at Marion, the Rock Island pass

b, c. r. s. N. gave Mason City the cold
shoulder. all because those cities we're
too confident and exacting. We want
both roads and want them badly. We
want Denison to be the principal inland
city Of Western Iowa and we can make
it SO if we all pull together, and if our
council acts with wisdom, considera-
ton and fairness to both. If they do
not the people of Denison will never
forgive them.

AN UNMlIlGA1ED ASS.

We are in receipt Of copy Of the
Arlington nee Brush Greek, News.
On the paper is pink tag as follows:
To the Editor: If you make a men,
tion of Curtis or this article will you
kindly send marked copy to the News
and we will send you further exposures
of this rascal?
The subject matter Is an inane, sense
less attack on one Curtis who now oc-
cupies an enviable (?) position in the
state penltentiary. There are two
times when man should be left alone,
when he is dead and when he is the
peDitentiary. What the editor of the
News expects to gain by giving his
readers the disgusting details of Curtis
record is more than we can see. We
will send him marked copy as he re-
quests.

TWO DAMAGE SUITS,
City Defendant ia Two Suits Caused
y by Defective Sidewalks.
MAY BE VERY COSTLY
Miss McCarthy Asks s5 900 for Injury Re
ceiyed last November. -Mr. Smith
Sues for Injury.

Two cases have recently been brought
against the city for damages. The first
/ is one in which Miss Mccarthy is plain
tiff. 1t is alleged that on Thanksgiv-
sing day she fell through a hoe in the
Scrossing east of j. e.. WyganJ's, and
that the fall resulted in straining Of
the muscles and cords OF the shoulder,
/ and that she has been unable to work
since that time and that in all probab-
atty she will not be able to do so for
some time. Miss Mccarthy was cook
at the Wilson house and she and her
/ parents were dependent upon her eff
forts for their support. The suit is for
$4,000.
The second case was brought by G..
SR. Smith. and j r. Miller s. Co. are CO.
sdefendents with the city. MIR. Smith
ALLEGES that he fell through an i'm
Y prOperly covered coal chute in front OF
diiler's hardware department and suf-
Sfered an injury to his leg which has
@disabled him.
We do not know the merits OF these
ceases and we do not wish to prejudice
aOur readers in advance one way or the
other. If there is justice in the claims
the city should not allow them to go
before the courts. but should settle
them to the best possible advantage
and with fairness to all.
Unnecessary litigation should always
Sbe avoided, and the city will be none
the gainer.if it were unduly obstinate
Sin allowing just claims. On the other
hand there often are impositions prac-
sliced, and especially when the city has
the reputation of being an easy victim.
Sin short if the claims are unjust they
should be fought to the finish, if they
lare just they should be settled without
RSlitigation.

A GOOD ADVERTISER.

There is advertising and advertising.
Ihe good advertiser, the one the news
paper likes if it be live newspaper, is
the man who takes a personal interest
IN his advertising, who makes it de-
partment of his business and who adj
vertises in straightforward manly
way.
Fake advertisements hurt a news
paper and lessen the value Of every
other advertisement in the paper. Dead
adds are of little benefit to live bust
ness. Denison has many good adver-
tisers, many who know how to get more
than their moneys worth out of every
inch OF space, Mr.. T. j. Kelly is one of
these. lie keeps copies of all his adver-
tisements in book, ready for refer
ence and comparison, he also writes
his ''ads'' in a straightforward way
which cannot fail to interest the reader.
Some of our readers will doubtless re-
member his advertisement in the RE-
VIEW during December, headed "A
Business Proposition" Concerning
this advertisement, the specialist in the
''Shoe and Leather Gazette" says, sit
is well prepared ad and is just what
it implies. 1t presents plain business
proposition, which is we'll calculated to
have effect" The writer then copies
the ed in full. Mr.. Kelly adyertises a
clearance sale i'll this issue in order to
prepare for the extensive changes he is
about to make in his store.

New Napoleon Letter.

The historic chateau of Malmaison fs being restored by M. Osiris, a wealthy Napoleon Worshiper. It is his lnten- tion, says the London Chronicle, to turn it into a Napoleonic museum, and to present it to the state in time for 1t to form one of the attractions of he great exhibition in 1900. In re- pairing the library a very interesting ind was made in the shape of let ter from Napoleon to Josephine, dat ed from the Trianon, August 15, 1913, representing her with not saving mon- ey. He advises her to put her affairs in order not to spend more than 96O,- 900 year and to save the other 96O,- GOO. Thus in ten years she would have accumulated fortune for her grandchildren. Instead of doing this, however, am told" he continues, that you are in debt.

YItrIoIIEIng seed Wheat.

For small quantities of seed, Yitrio- liking on a floor, in sacks, tubs, etc, does very well, but for large quantl- ties it is too slow, writes c. H. Lester in Dakota Farmer. Heretofore I havs used wagon tank with the top re- moved, set o1 two benches so placed that 2 lift of hundred pounds at the front will raise that end ten or twelve inches to secure drainage. Place tank convenient to seed bin Nail double thickness Of wire screen on inside over plug hole at back end of tank. Place three barrels at back of tank into which put your vitriol solution, and also place a large wash tub under the drainage vent. The vitriol solution will have to be constantly replenished as well l would here suggest that when you buy your yitriol, you have it finely ground when it will readily dissolve in cold water, and don't use tin pails to ha He it with as the ac- ton of he vitriol will ruin them. Hav- ing thus made preparations, fill the tank nearly full of wheat and level 1t, then dip solution from barrels into tank until the grain is entirely sub merged. Let stand two minutes. No skimmino or stirring is needed as the soaking sufficient to kill vitality of smut bal S. Knock out drainage plug and let dufd flow into washtub, from which dip 1t back into barrels to be used again. When the flow becomes sluggish raise front of tank and allow to drain. The action of the vitriol water generates a slight heat and a tendency of the grain to bake. Usually in about an hour after draining. tho wheat can be scooped into wagon box or sacked. If sacked, fill sacks only tHo-thirds full and in a few hours change their position in order to move the grain in the sack to facilitate dry Ing. Handled in this way the seed dries very fast and in from three to four hours should be in good condi- tion to SOW. For large quantities, 1,500 bushels, or over, I would use a grain tank, we'll battoned, and hold ing about one hundred bushels in place of the wagon tank

He then transferred them from the nest to a box. under serious protest from the parent birds The birds proved to be speeiments of the barn owl. and great was the surprise to see the three owls of three different sizes and evidently considerable differences in their ages. From inquiry 1t is learned that these birds. after matching the first egg. lay another whose matching is left to be done by the young bird while it feath- CTS, thus explaining why the birds in the different stages of development were found in the same nest and ex- blaming. too. the responsibility that the oldest bird seemed to have over the younger ones-much as the older child watches over the younger ones of a family The oldest owl was al most matured-ln full feather-its large black eyes. almost human in ex- precision. being well set off by the snow-white face. The plumage on the back was a golden brown, the rest of the body streaked with white. The second bird in size was an ashy, dull white he was covered with down the down on his face giving him vicious pression-entirely different from the oldest bird.

All day long these three little owls quietly sat, making nc sound except when ap- preached, when a sharp snappiRg Of their beaks announced that they wished no intruders. To turn them out of their box in daytime meant a quick return to it. They were turned out one day for a visitor to admire. and the box removed, when they quietly sought refuge under the folds of her dress skirt At night they were in their element when turned loose; they walked around, Tapped their wings, would come up and take food from the Land and drink water from spoon placed between their beaks with as much ease as a person possibly could After eating to their satisfae- tion. they would return to the box and there sit for an hour. peering out waving their bodies backward and forward. as f rocking themselves to sleep. The pleasure and the study de- rived from observing these young owls scarcely compensated for the sorrow caused around the old palm tree.
