The Margin Of Saving.

In these days Of fierce competition all that
new invention or process has to do is to show
that it saves part Of the cost of the DID, and the
old is at once doomed. We see illustrations Of
the principle on all sides The Broadway cable
was put In at an enormous expense only six or
seven years ago. hut already IT is thrown away
because II has been discovered that the under
ground trolley means a saving Of fraction OF
a cent per passenger per mile. The explanation
OF the great increase in the use of the gas range
is similar. II stands for demonstrated margin
Of saving. IL saves a certain per cent In fuel
cost. II saves a certain per cent. additional in
preventing waste Of food Both these savings
have been proved over and over again by ex-
periments under ell sorts OF conditions That
is enough. The question is settled The nipple
ment that saves is the implement that gets into
use and stays there. When you reckon in, be-
sides the comfort. the convenience and the per-
feet results OF cooking by gas. you need inquire
no further for the reason why the sales Of gas
ranges are SO great.

A "JOB" HEADED OFF.
PRIMARY ELL RECALLED FOR TWO IMPORTANT
AMENDMENTS.

Albany. April q (speciaD. were several
Objectionable features in the Primary Reform bill
passed by the Legislature They were discovered
to-day. and the Governor. being Informed re-
turned the measure for amendment. The chief Of
these bad features provision that the Secre-
tary of State should have charge Of the printing Of
all the ballots used at primaries. II II believed
that the Secretary Of State had anything 10 do
with the provision. but some interested in a
good printing lob" must have thought that by
concentrating it at Albany he would have a better
chance Of getting a fine contract.
DR.. Henry, Of New-York, recalled the bill to the
Assembly from the Governors hands. and had this
obnoxious part eliminated. He also put in an
amendment suggested by the Governor The Gov
discovered that the enrolment lists were not

year The bill permitted transcripts OF the lists to
be made. but did not require their publication. The
Governor said:

VETO MESSAGE FROM ROOSEVELT.

HE OBJECTS TO MEMBERS OF THE MUNICIPAL
ASSEMBLY GETTING OTHER OFFICES.
Albany April Ex-Governor Roosevelt to-day
vetoed Assemblvnan Meisters bill to amend the
New-York City charter relative 10 the legislative
department In his veto message he says:
This bill purports 10 be amendment Of a sec
ton In reality f. is repeal of a section. The
trainers OF the NeW-York charter very wisely APP
pied TO members OF tho Municipal Assembly the
same rule made applicable by the Constitution OF
the State (Sectlon Z Article lid 20 members Of the
State legislature by prohibiting them during the
term for which they were elected from being
eligible for appointment TO any other office under
the city. II also prohibits them from being con-
tractors with employees OF the city: The present
bill nullifes this provision by adding a clause
which permits any member OF the Municipal As
sembly to avoid the provisions OF the section by
simply resgning membership in the said Assem-
bly, All the considerations which made II wise 10
enact the original section make 1t unwise now to
nmlnfy il by this amendment.

DAY EARLY.

| The REVIEW is one day ahead of
time. The boy wanted a day off for
the Fourth and thought they would
rather work a little harder Oh Saturday
and Monday than to work on lndepen-
dence Day. We know our readers will
not begrudge them the holiday for they
are good boys and hard workers.
To those who prefer quiet day at
hone the Fourth we would especially
recommend the two short stories on
pages % and Z. These stories are by
Robert Barr and Clinton Ross, two dis
tlngulshed writer's and are distinctly
what is called high grade" literature.
The REVIEW has dropped the old
''blood and thunder" style of stories
and only prints the best stories by the
best writers. On our local page we
print all the news we were able to pick
up in two days. We hope you willhave
a good time wherever you celebrate.
Denison will entertain you the best it
can and so will Charter Oak, Vail, Dow
City and Manila. We print the pro-
gram of each celebration in this issue
and only regret that we were not able
to do so earlier so that our readers
might have had more time to determine
where to celebrate. fridays REVIEW
will contain accounts OF all the celebra-
tions.

A DELIGHTFUL EVENING.

Denison presented a lively scene
Friday evening. The weather was per-
lection and it seemed as if nearly all
our people were out on the streets
walking and visiting and listening to
the music OF our splendid band. In no
other city could be found more happy
prosperous, good natured and content
ed lot OF people. A patent medicine
show tried to divide the honors with
the band but soon gave it up in dispair.
The music for the evening was fine.
The patriotic airs elected applause,
and when medley of familiar hymns
was played it seemed as if half the
crowd involuntarily began humming
the good old tunes. Denison will not
get to be a very bad place so long as
the people keep these sacred songs so
near their hearts. The band is improv-
ing every week. 1t is now the best
Denison has ever had and it would do
credit to any city. The baud concerts
have struck a popular chord and we
only regret that we cannot have one
every night.

DEATH OF EDITH NJ. WHEELER.
A Former Resident of Denison Dies at
Tekamah Nebraska

Tekamah Nebraska.
Many Denison friends will be grieved
to learn of the death of Mis- Edith
M. Wheeler. Miss Wheeler was a long
time resident of Denison and was
greatly liked by all who knew her. The
following account of her death is taken
from the Tekamah Burtonian:
Died. on last Tuesday morning, June
q, 1899, after prolonged illness. Edith
M. Wheeler, eldest daughter of MI.
and Mrs. H. N Wheeler.
The deceased was bonn at Peoria.
ILL.,, and her school days were spent at
Lima, o., and Denison, Iowa. where
she lived with her parents. Later on
she removed with her parents to New
Richmond, Wis, which was recently
swept from the earth by a cyclone.
Eleven years ago she came to Tekamah
with her parents where she resided un-
til her demise.
The deceased had been sufferer for
several years with cancer, but only
in the past year did it give her much
trouble. During the past six months
she suffered untold agony, but bore her
pain like true christian woman.
Never was she heard to complain of her
condition. even when two months ago
she was told that she could not live
over six weeks. She was true woman
in every sense of the word and could
count everyone her friend. She be-
lieved in the teachings as laid down by
our Lord, and in her last hours she
only looked to Him for relief, knowing
that He alone could ease her pain.
The funeral services were held at her
late home. where very large crowd of
bereaved friends gathered to pay their
last respects to kind and loving
friend. Rev. Wilson delived very
touching and beautiful sermon and
Rev. Poucher offered an eloquent
prayer. The choir sahg several favor
lite selections of the deceased, which
caused every eye to be dimmed with
tears.
The remains were followed to their
last resting place in the Tekamah
cemetery by a large crowd of sorrow
ing friends who knew the deceased as
a kind friend, loving sister and an
affectionate daughter. To mourn her
demise she leaves mother, father and
a sister, Mrs. II. l.. Braun. The floral
offerings were many and extremely
beautiful.
