Carlyle speaks Of the folly of the
man who complains because he might
begin his work in a small field. The
recent patriotic celebration at Three
Oaks, Michigan, is a fresh and strik-
ing reminder of the Importance Of the
obscure village. In the modern rush
to the great cities, we too often forget
that hamlets and villages are still the
reservoirs of a nations best life. In
honoring Three Oaks a few weeks ago.
the people of the United States CRATE
fully honor every other place, how
ever humble, where, with loyalty and
public spirit, men arc living honest
and patriotic lives.

A love romance with q decidedly
novel turn comes from Debreczin,
Hungary. A young man Vas rejected
by his sweetheart because he was bow
legged. He went to a hospital and vas
informed that to straighten his legs
the operating surgeon would just have
to break and then reset them. and
that the chances of success were slim.
The young man insisted on the opera
ton; it proved q success, and in two
months he returned to his sweetheart,
and now they are married.

FUNERAL OF MRs.aMOORE.

The funeral of Mrs. Flora Rannells
Moore took place at Dunlap on yester-
day afternoon and was attended by a
number of friends from Denison to
whom the news of her death came as a
sad shock. Mrs. Moore was a daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Rannells of Dunlap
and was a woman of lovely character
and many accomplishments. For four
years she was a teacher in the public
schools of Denison and hundreds of our
people will remember her with tender
affection. Mrs. Moore died en- Friday,
June 9, at her home in Riverside,
Wyoming, the Immediate cause being,
heart failure. A week before. her lit
tie two weeks old babe was laid to rest
and the loving mother soul and that of
her child are now reunited through
out all eternity. Our most sincere
sympathy goes out to the. bereayed
husband and to her parents and her
brothers and sisters. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. Bar
tholemew of Dunlap assisted by Rev.
A. G. Martyr of Denison. Among the
other Denison friends present were the
Mesdames Martyr, Ley. Geo. Richard
son and the Misses Emma Raine, Mar
garet King and Dele Marshall.

BUSINESS MEN MEET.

A meeting of Denison business men
was held this forenoon at the city hall,
II. A. Cook acting as chairman and II.
w Meyers as secretary. The commit
tee on organization of a business mems
association reported a constitution
which was adopted. The constitution
provided for a board of fifteen directors,
who in turn elect the officers of the
association The directors are to be
elected at the regular annual meeting
to be held in January of each year. A
committee consisting of Messrs. Con-
ner. Kuehnle, Gebert, Criswell and
johnson was appointed to select direct
ors to hold Office until January next.
A set of bylaws was also reported but
they We're referred to the directors for
action. This is another preliminary
step toward a strong organization
which is much needed in Denison.
After a brief discussion of matters of
Importance to the city the meeting adj
adjourned.

SHAW AND DOLLIYER.

A correspondent to the Des Moines
Capital has evidently been .'seein'
things" forhe contributes a column of
sensational wash for that paper based
on the fact that Gov. Shaw says he is
not a candidate for vice-president. The
governor is reported as saying 81 have
emphatically expressed myself and it
is thoroughly understood that I am not
a candidate" Despite this the cor
respondent says: Iowa cannot have
two candidates, and if Gov. Shaw is a
candidate he owes it to the people of
Iowa to say So" Great Scott! hasn't
he said so. What does the fabber-
gasted idiot correspondent wanto Must
the governor take a sledge hammer
and pound it into his stupid head? For
some time there has been a studied
effort to cause a disagreement between
Gov. Shaw and Mr.. Dolliver. That it
it has not worked is a credit to the
sagacity and knowledge of human ma
ture CT both men. Gov. Shaw may
have thought that the candidacy of any
Iowa man for vice-president would in
jure Speaker Henderson. 1t is the
wise man who considers every phase of
a question and the kindly man who
respects the ambition of others. Mr..
Henderson himself is the best Judge of
this matter, and if he deems that an
Iowa candidacy will not iniure him.
Mr.. Dolliver will have no warmer sup
porters than Governor Shaw and his
friends. The milk in the cocoanut in
the Capitals correspondence is that
the great A. b. Cummins ''came OUT
for Dolliver the moment he heard that
he might be a candidate. A number
of Dolliyer's friends have been waiting
to learn if Mr.. Deliver wanted them
to come out" but not so with the
Polk county giant. He did not even
wait for an invitation. Shaw and
Dolliver are all right-either would
make a magnificent candidate for vice
president. Shaw does not want it
Dolliver evidently does. Here in
Shaw's county all are for Dolliver. and
when the convention meets at Phila-
delphia Mr.. Dolliver will find one of
his best hackers to be a man named
Shaw, from Iowa.
