LONDON. July 6.-The story that al

the hope that it is untrue
The authorities at Shanghai recognize
that even though these reports are re-

died within an hour. The dowager
empress also chose poison, but craftily

China porcelaim is so called because
it was first brought from the Celestial
kingdom. 1t is made principally of
kaolin, and kaolin takes it's name from
a high hill in China, where it was first
discovered. 1t is fine clay, white
when pure, and it is easily worked. 1t
has since been found in various places,
the. United States as well as other
countries.

AFTER THREE YEARS.


July 1st completed the REVIEWS
third year under the present man
agement. Three years ago the
REVIEW was a weekly paper, print
ing from ten to fifteen columns of
home matter each week; today it
is a twlce-a-week paper printing
an average of thirty columns OF
home matter each week. The
actual bona fde; paidin advance
circulation of the REVIEW is larger
today than the whole list, dead
beats and all, was three years ago.
We hope we have learned some.
thing in the three years and judg
ling from the fact that we do not
feel as if we knew so much as we
did, we guess we have. The Re-
VIEW has been a member of our
family ever since we can remem-
Der, in fact it has been the favorite
child of the family and all of the
rest of us have had to make sacri-
fees that the REVIEW might grow
and prosper. We have not finish
ed making sacrifices for the RE
VIEW, and it looks as if we would
not for some time to come. The
REVIEW has been run chiefly for
the benefit of the people and its
employees, and the editors have
for many years come in only for
the crumbs which fell from the
table. Within the next few
months, the REVIEW will be estab-
iiished in a splendidly equipped
office, one of the best in the state,
and we can then do our work with
comfort and economy.
We have more enemies than we
had three years ago bat we com.
fort ourselves with the knowledge
that they are chiefly desirable
enemies and that the man who can
run a newspaper without making
enemies is a unmitigated ass. We
also have more friends than we had
three years ago aud for that fact
we are profoundly grateful. We
have not so many enemies as we
had a year ago perhaps that is
a sign of approaching assininity
and perhaps it is because we have
learned not to Judge men quite so
harshly. At any rate we look for.
ward with pleasure to the years to
come and with every confidence in
the future of the Great REVIEW.
| We like Denison and Crawford
county and their sturdy honest
folk and are giving to them the
best there is in US. If you like the
REVIEW and feel that it is doing
good work for the community
don't be afraid to say SO, and to
tell your neighbor about it and to
help your paper where you can.
Three years is not long time but
it has been long enough for us to
relearn to love our little city and
its people and to look forward with
content and happiness to many
more years among them. So here's
to year number Four, may we get
through it with no more mistakes
and errors than we committed in
year number Three.

THE DEMOCRATIC LEADER.

he is the most influential and most
powerful member of the Democrat
ic party. This being the case the
| people have the right to inquire
who and what he is. Is he a
statesman? No. Is he a soldiero
He is not. Is he an orator.
Again, no. Is he a successful
business man or manufacturer
Has he done ANYTHING to entitle
him to the respect and esteem of
the American people? No, he is
nothing and has done nothing ex-
cept that he has been chosen chief
of the most corrupt and corrupting
ring of bribe-givers and bribe-
takers the world has ever known.
Such is Tammany, such is the
organization that is at the head of
this party of reform, OF this party
that is to give US purity" and
"Jeffersonian simplicity in our
politics. The tears of thousand
prostitutes are crystallized in their
diamond shirt studs, the gains OF a
hundred hundred drinking hells
and gambling dives line their
pockets. Tweed, the Thief, is
their patron saint, and their sci
ence of government is that of brib-
cry reduced to a fine art. And yet
our poor misguided men from
Crawford rush down to their con-
vention, do their bidding and come
back to tell us what great thing
Democracy is to do for this coun-
try. Bah! Tamanny has to do
1Qnly with fools or knaves, the
former they cajole, with the latter
they are in cahoots. What good
can you expect from this ring? Do
they care a continental for your
welfare or ours? We have seen
their treatment of Ex-senator Hill
and Of every other man who has
become prominent in Democratic
politics through any merit of brains
or principles. We have seen the
unholy alliance with Bryan, and
Croker's statement that he cared
not what was in the platform SO
long as Bryan would do the right
thing with the Offices. What
does Croker mean by this? He
means simply that all this hypo
critical .sentimentality about the
Declaration of Independence, these
mock heroics, these appeals to
prejudice are simply masks by
which the influence of Tammany
| Hall can be extended to the nation

prise pay tribute to it as do the

was emlnently fitting that this con-
vention controlled by Don Quixote
Bryan and Boss Croker should seat
Briber Clark of Montana as one OF
the delegates. We hope our Iowa
delegation duly appreciated the
honor CD of sitting in convention
with these men.
The dispatches tell of the glory
of Tammany's arrival. Two spe-
cial trains brought the ice trust
friends of the common people.
Their rich and costly drinks were
at once the admiration and the en-.
Wy of all the assembled democratic
hosts. Where did they get the
money? They will never tell.

leaders of Democracy and is it any
wonder that the honest farmers o.

question "Can any good thing

Insane Man Whom an Officer Was

Obliged to Shoot.
William Galloway, a colored resident OF
Marlboro, Md, who was brought here
recently and taken to Freedman's Hospital.
became insane about o'clock last night
and made an effort to wreck the hospital
building The police were called in, and
Policeman Carroll of the eighth precinct
found it necessary to shoot the Maryland
man in order to protect himself. The bull
let entered the fieshy part Of the patients
arm and stunned him. 1t had the effect
of subduing him for a few seconds, during
which time others in the group grabbed
him and bound him hard and fast.
Galloway reached the hospital Sunday
afternoon and presented a certificate from
a Marlboro physician to the effect that
he had an ulcer on one of his legs and
required surgical attention, and the doc
tors were going to operate on 1t. Fearing
disastrous results from the operation the
patient became morose. 1t is believed that
fear affected his mind. About Z O'Clock
last night he made an effort to leave the
hospital, and in order to get out he
smashed furniture and windows. He went
from one part of the hospital to another
doing considerable damage. The arrival
of the police was the signal for a struggle.
in which the shooting occurred.
Two policemen were detailed to guard
the patient during the night. This morn
ing the case was Investigated by Sanitary
OHcer Frank, and Galloway was sent to
the insane asylum for treatment.

mission to certain persons to visit the
schools in the interest Of the anti-cigarette
movement. This was done on the boards

sent was. given for the sale of badges.
Twenty-one school buildings were visited.
No badges were sold by any teacher or any
other officer of the school, The amount
raised from oil sales was less than fifteen
dollars. These were sold by pupils who
had been designated captains.
