Women and Scores Of Babies.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 1S.-The 'Post-Dis-
patch" this afternoon says Mrs. Henry
Bamberger, a midwife living at 91Y

Miss Rieger was a r~>rse at the Chou
teau avenue house for three years The

the place one year ago on account Of a
difficulty with Mrs. Bamberger's son.
These ex-nurses have occupied The

The Post Dispatch, continues: "One
witness alleges that the body of LYDIA
Dessert of 2113 Madison street, who
disappeared from home in 1897, was
buried in the cellar in September OF
that year. Another witness declares
that the body of Miss Annie Siemmer-
mann of Moline, ILL.,, who died from a
criminal operation, was thrown into the
Meramec River. The story related by
the nurses is almost incrad 1t deals
with the disposition OF the bodies in a
revolving manner. If all the allegations
be true, the home of the accused is a
veritable charnel-house."
Five indictments were found against
Mrs. Bamberger late this afternoon by

in the first degree. three charges man
slaughter in The first degree, and one

We greatly regret that the Bulletin
has not as yet seen fit to join the re-
mainder of the people of Denison in
the effort to obtain a state normal
school. MIR Cook comes out in man
~ way for the good of the city and we
congratulate him on his course. We
do not wish anyone to be tied to the
tail of the REVIEW kite, the state nor
NAL scheme is not the property of the
REVIEW but of the people Of Denison.
We do not claim that a state normal
school is standing around waiting for

or not, but we do claim there is good
fighting chance and that no man or no
community can ever obtain anything
by standing idly by waiting for some,
thing to turn up.

Our Holiday Number.

The REVIEW greets its readers as a
twenty page Issue as reminder of the
holidays to come aud as pleasant com
panion for these long winter evenings.
1t has been a severe strain upon our
Office force to issue this extra edition
without neglecting the regular work of
the office. III the paper will be found
many bright and interesting things,
serial stories, short stories, the pres-
dents message, and the general news
which ordinarily fills the columns of
the Great and Only. We have not
made such great effort this year as
last and we wish particularly to thank
our advertising patrons for the support
th have given us on such short no
tice. Another thing to be noted is that
eur advertisements are all from good,
straigh, trustworthy business men, and
we feel that the reader will be well re
paid if he gives their announcements
careful perusal. There are several
y things which we claim for the REVIEW
andswhich cannot be sue ressfully COM
batted: 1st, that the REVIEW is read
by more people than any other English
paper in the county. %, that it sets at
least!one half more type than any other
paper in the county Sd, that it carries
more advertising than any other paper
ia the county. 4th, that it prints later
news than any other paper in the coun
ty. 5th. that its correspondence service
is better than that of any other paper
in the county. These are not idle
boastlngs but indisputaple facts, for
which we thank our patrons who have
given us the encouragement to do our
best.

READ IT IN HIS EYE.
The Cuban Understood the Soldier
and Mt Once Gave Up HIS Pros
pectlve Prey.

This occurred at Siboney, while the
town was in flames. Panic had hold Of
everybody but the American troops,
who were vainly endeayoring to con-
duct an orderly evacuation.
A lanky rough rider was hurrying
through the town on some mission.
says the Philadelphia North American,
when he came abreast of n half-starved
Spanish woman, who bore every trace
of wealth and refinement in her face,
manner and dress, and was struggling
to keep a child. barely able to walk, at
her side and at the same time restrain
a burly Cuban from robbing her of a
walnut box tipped with silver, which
she held under her ann.
The rough rider took in the situation
at glance. He couldn't speak Spanish.
so he let loose a wild yell peculiar to
the genus cowboy, and at the same
time leveled his gun at the rascally
Cuban.
Then, to reiieve his oan feelings, he
yelled in good vigorous English: We're
down here to fight men, not wonl-
en- and children. and if you don't sneak
I'll drop you."
The Cuban read tie message in the
soldiers eyes and SUNK away. while
the rough rider conducted the woman
and child to headquarters. and then
went about his business.

EXECUTIONS IN FRANCE.
Electricity by new
Method.

If Importance is to be attached to
a recent letter from Paris. while Amer
leans are in the midst of discussion
as to whether or not death by electric.
shock is painless and instantaneous.
the French government is considering
the adyisability of disseminating the
use of the guillotine for the ex-
ecution of criminals and the adop-
ton in its stead of method in
which needles charged with high
tension currents are shot into the
brain, causing instant death. Accord
ing to the accounts given, the head OF
the criminal, as he sits firmly strapped
in the execution chair, is to be inclosed
in a helmet similar to that OF a diver.
Opposite the temples of the wearer are
two holes, through which the needles,
duly connected with the source of cleo
trio current employed, pass. AS the
executioner touches button, and so
turns on the current, the two needles
leap from their sockets and are forced
through the temples into the brain OF
the criminal. With them they carry
powerful alternating currents, which
rupture and destroy the brain cells with
