PRACTICAL Jok r CAUGHT.
"A Good Story on A Former Denison Man
Told by the Perpetrators.

as Told by the Perpetrator.
During court week a good many
prominent citizens are called to Deni
son and one of them told usa story that
is surely good enough to print. The
story is on a former we'll known resi-
dent OF Denison who is now living in a
City about seventy miles distant. The
Crawford county man had often been
the victim OF the Denisonlte's practical
Jokes and he was on the outlook for
chance to get even.
1t so happened that he was guest at
the former Denisonites home one day
when there was to be a church supper
In Intervening In which the lady of the
house was much interested. The men
folks were invited to attend and to the
former observation-disclosures We will call
hum for convenience-was entrusted the
delivery at the chulch of castor con-
tanning among other things two bottles
OF fine apple vinegar Jones aud the
prominent citizen started down the
street with the castor and it happened
as they were in front of saloo. that a
man came up and called Jones away on
business. Jones went into the saloon,
asked the bartender to put the castor
back on the counter few moments
and asked his friend to wait there for
him. Then Jones left and the man
from Crawford had All idea. He got
the bartender to pour the vinegar from
the bottles and to substitute some old
rye whisky in its place Soon Jones
came back and they started for the
church supper. At supper they were
seated at the table with the minister
and Mrs. Jones fine castor shone re-
splendent. Raw oysters was the first
course and the clergyman who had evil
/ IDENTIFY partaken of the hospitality of
the Jones household before, inquire of
| Sister Jones if she had any of that fine
i apple vineger there that night. Eyes
indeed she had'' said Mrs. Jones and
she passed it to the minister with a
gracious smile. The clergyman liked
plenty of vinegar on his oysters and
was not sparingin his use of the con
tents of the bottle. Then he took an
oyster. The expression on his face
must have been worth the price OF the
supper. He did not know at first
whether to swallow the oyster OF not
but he did, and then he asked Mrs
! Jones with tears in,his, eyes, What il
the matter with your vipegar?" Mrs
Jones, sQf courses said 81 Nothing. :
f'Smell it,''said he of the cloth witt
l Echoking voice. Mrs. Jones smelled
land then she looked at Jones Tit
prominent citizen of Crawford tells us
that look repaid him for all the many
griefs he had suffered at jones' hands
and that while he has often, visited a
> the Jones home since that time tn,
subject of vinegar is never mentioned
although Jones tells him privately tina
& what happened that night was some
: ithlng awful. 5 a0 Z.

Next week will see but few changes
in the county court house. On the
board of supervisors Mr.. Fred Jepsen
will give place to Mr.. VIM. Flaherty.
MIR. Jepsen has made very good rec
ord as a supervisor and it is matter of
regret to many that he was not renomi-
mated. Mr.. Jepsen has always been an
intense partisan, but in matters in
which party did not enter Mr.. Jepsen
was both fair and courteous. Mr.. FLAIR
erty, his successor, has hard place to
fill. The REVIEW expects to treat him
with utmost fairness, for we do not be
lieve in hampering an officer by captious
criticisms. The craftsmanship of the
board is said to lie between Rhoden-
baugh and Langley. The only other
new official is Mr.. Theo. Kuhl, who sue.
ceeds Mr.. A. b. Lorenzen as county
treasurer. AS previously announced
Mr.. LorenZen will remain in the office
as deputy for some months. Crawford
county has always been fortunate III its
treasurers from the days of l.. Cornwell
to the present. Mr.. Lorenzen has been
faithful, efficient and honest, and we
can wish Mr.. Kuhl no better success
than that he should do as we'll as his
predecessor.

A week ago the REVIEW was author
lied to announce the candidacy of
Judge Zala A. Church for position on
tho federal bench. Today we are
authorized to announce Judge Church's
withdrawal from the contest Judge
Church had many influential friends
and was assured of the solid support of
his judicial district, but he has never
theless seen fit to withdraw his name.
The people of this part of Iowa are of
the opinion, however, that there are
still higher honors in store for Judge
Church and they will gladly support
him whenever occasion arises. Since
the withdrawal of Judge Church there
seems to be decided sentiment among
the members of the Crawford county
bar in favor of the brainy Judge Walter
[. Smith of Council Bluffs. We under.
stand that this is the sentiment in Car.
roll county also.

Our Schools.

Our Schools.

with an enrolment Of about seventy,
with more to come in this week and
next. All the teachers are at work
in their respective departments-Prln-
cipal A. c. Kimler, assistants c. j.
Miller, Miss Harriet Johnson, Miss
Mary McConn, L. D. Arnett, J. C..
Muldoon and Miss UrDa V. Cummings.
At the opening exercises Rev. DR.. Chas.
Ghisein made some appropriate re-
marks, in which he congratulated the
students upon the excellent education
al facilities that they were permitted
to enjoy. The outlook for good
year for the school is excellent.
The Shepherdstown Graded School
began its term on Monday with full
attendance in the several grades. IN
the room of Principal c. 7. Smootz
there are 80 students; Mrs. Ida NELL
has II; Miss Ella Kelsey, So; Miss
Bessie Licklider, So Miss Eliza Hof-
man, So Miss Beulah Neel, 80; Miss
May Hoffman, 95. About seventy of
the scholars in the loweS grades have
quarters in the Line building, more
than block away from the main
school. This arrangement can never
be satisfactory, and it is an absolute
necessity that new school building
be constructed.
The colored graded school, with Mr..
Alex. Freeman principal and Mr.. John
Stevenson assistant, opened Monday
with about the usual attendance.

Deaths Harvest.

Mr.. Raleigh L. Moler, one of Jetfer-
son county's respected citizens, died
last Friday at his home near Bakerton,
aged So years. He had been sick for
a couple of weeks with malarial fever
which turned to typhoid, and on Fri
day he began to sink very rapidly, his
death resulting between six and seven
o'clock. Mr.. Moler was conscious of
his approaching end. Indeed, he said
from the first of his illness that he
would not get well, and was fully pre-
pared, saying that he was ready to go.
He was quiet, upright, exemplary
man, respected by all who knew him
for his many admirable traits. He was
a member of Elk Branch Presbyterian
Church. His life was a useful and
honorable one, and his end was peace
full. The funeral was held at his late
home on Sunday and the remains were
inferred in EImwood Cemetery at
Shepherdstown. Rev. c. H. Hockey
conducted the service. The funeral
was one Of the most largely attended
that has ever been seen here. The
pallbearsrs were six nephews of the
deceased: George NJ, VIM. J. and DR..

bert T. Moler. Mr.. Moler is survived
by his widow and FIVE children,
Blanche, Edith, Lillian, Arnold and
Hugh also three brothers and two
sisters, John, Jacob S. and Adam B.
Moler, Mrs. W. J. Knott and Mrs.
Mary V. Snyder. 1t is a coincidence
that Mr.. Moler died on his birthday.
Mrs. Charles Gordon died last week
at her home near Rest, Frederick
county, Va, aged about 50 years. Her
death, which was very sudden, was
caused by heart disease. Mrs. Gordon,
whose maiden name was Thompson,

where she was highly regarded. She
is a sister of Miss Emma Thompson, Of
Shepherdstown.
Mr.. Robert Matheny, native of
Shepherdstown, died recently in Iona
coming, Nd, where for many years he
had been station agent for the Cum
berland and Pennsylvania Railroad.
He is survived by his widow, three
sons and three daughters.
An infant child of Mr.. and Mrs.
W. S. Widmeyer died at their home
in Martinsburg last Sunday and was
buried IN EImwood Cemetery, Shep-
herdstown, on Monday. The child
was eleven months old.

attention of one of the beasts. a Sec
ond later he was thrown violently to
the ground with his leg torn frightful-

strain proved more than he could en-
dure.
