LICENSEDBY PHONE.
Electricity Lends Aid to Anxious Lovers
Cupid Brooks No Delay And The
TelenhOne Assists.

Telephone ASSlSlSs
A'marriage license was issued out of
the Clerks Office yesterday by tele-
phone. The young people whose
hearts were made glad by wire were
Alfred E. Ford of Earling and Miss
Della Schrader. The groom to be
went to Harlan to procure the license
but as the wedding was to take place
in Crawford county the Clerk of Courts
of Shelby county was unable to issue
the much desired paper. However he
was willing to assist. All the world
loves lover and the County Clerk OF
Shelby county is no exception. He &C
cordingly called up the Clerks Office,
explained all the circumstances and
stated that there was no reason why
the license should not be- issued.
Thereupon Mrs. Kruger who has a
soft spot in her heart for Cupids vic
Tins agreed to issue the license at once
and waive the signing Of the register
to later date. Thus two hearts are
doing the beat as one act on schedule
time and all is merry as a wedding
bell.

THE COOK BOOK.

The ladies of the Friday Club promise
the people OF Denison the early publ
cation of an interesting and useful
book to be made up of the best recipes
of the best housewives of Deuison.
The book will be of great value as it
will contain the best suggestions from
the many good cooks who have made
our city famous for its cuisine. Our
merchants will be asked to contribute
by their advertising patronage and
they should do this literally, mot only
to encourage the ladies but because it
is good advertising proposition as the
books will be in durable form and will
be in daily use in many homes for years
to come.

ment from practice.
Mr.. Lally has had fully as remark
able career and his success has been
entirely self-wrought. Coming to Am
erica as poor emigrant, he worked at
days labor and Mr.. Lally himself is the
last one to be ashamed of the fact, that
he welded pick and shovel on the
railroad. Ambition and energy are
hard things to tie down to the road bed
of railroad, however, and Mr.. Lally
pursued course of reading and study
which has made him one of the best
educated men in Denison. His first
practice was in Vail and he remained
there number of years finally remov-
ing to Denison when elected county
attorney. His practice has steadily
grown and he is one of the most sue
cessful trial lawyers Denison has ever
known. The new firm will occupy the
entire second floor of the Crawford
county bank building. and Judge Con-
ner will devote as much time as possible
to the business consistent with his
duties as congressman from the big
10th district of Iowa. Here's congratu-
lations to the new firm.

i IS CONNER AND LAuY.
The New Law Firm JUS
Announced
A STRONG LEGAL COMBINATION
Congressman J. P. Conner and Hon. P. E. c.
LalIy Unite Their Legal Practice.
Will Take an Effective Firm

The announcement is made this
week of the new legal firm of Conner
and Lally. The formation of this firm
does not come entirely as a surprise as
1T was known that Judge Conner would
be obliged to make some arrangement
for the carrying on of his legal business
during his congressional absences and
it was felt that no better or stronger
combination could be made than be-
tween these two strong lawyers who
although opposed to each other in so
many causes before the courts have
always maintained the warmest per-
sonal friendship.
The union of these two, each having
large and lucrative practice, creates
one of the very strongest firms in west
ern Iowa and makes benson legal as
we'll as banking and business center.
1t also takes from the field one com
peting firm and thus adds to the busi-
ness of every other lawyer in Denison,

almost to despair by the first long
months of waiting as a brieiless bar
rister, he gradually forged to the front.
Later he entered partnership with
the now great Governor of Iowa and
the firm of Conner and Shaw soon be-
came noted throughout the western
part of the state. After being elected
Judge Mr.. Conner OF course retired
from active practice but assumed it
again when his term expired. Judge
Conner made splendid judicial officer
but he was too aggressive in his nature
to enjoy the quiet of the bench. From
the day OF his return to Denison his
practice has grown and his election to

The Peoples Store opened today and
the large crowds in attendance in spite

The following is from the vinton
Eagle: The general verdict of all who
witnessed the performance of Faust
last night by the Labadie Co., was that
the rendition was in every particular
satisfactory. The scenic and electrical
effects we're heavy, we'll handled and
proved prime feature in this excellent
production. The parts were mainly
we'll cast in the hands of capable ar
fists well versed in legitimate drama.
The company was in every way worthy
of liberal patronage.

The young peoples lecture course
this winter is better than evar. Seven
first-class lectures and entertainments
are offered for $500 per season ticket
and $1.25 for gallery tickets. All those
who have not yet secured season tickets
should call at once at Johnson's book
store. Those who have subscribed but
have not yet secured their tickets
should get them in time to reserve
seats Friday morning for the Balm lee
ture. Every dollar taken in is applied
to procuring attractions. There is no
profit in it to any one. The local COM
mittees pay for their tickets just as the
others do. You get good entertain
ments cheap by buying season tickets.
Take season ticket and help keep up
this worthy movement. The committee
are doing lot of work freely, simply
to insure the people first-class enter
tainments and unless the community
takes hold and responds to their efforts
the lecture course will be abandoned
after this season, as the committee
cannot be expected to beg the people
to take tickets if they don't want the
course. The men who have charge of
this course are representative business
men who are giving valuable time to
the work. The course is the best yet
presented and it should receive cordial
support.

Some Denison boys are ''game" as
will be established by the wheelbarrow
parade to take place next Saturday
afternoon at o'clock when four unwise
youths who bet on the late Mr.. Bryan
will wheel four republican stalwarts
about the business streets in wheel
barrows. Every one is invited to see
the fun. Betting is not a good habit
but this is the least dangerous form it
can take.
