A we'll known Iowa philanthropiSt,

wish his, name mentioned, has made two
magnificent offers to the people of Den
ison and to the teachers Of Crawford
county. To the city of Denison he offers
one thousand dollars to be used for the
purchase of additional books for the
school and public library of Denison,
provided that the citizens of Denison
will subscribe S250O additional for the
same purpose. The only additional con-
dition is that a certain amount of the
money shall be set aside for the pur-
chase of suitable books to be keptin the
school rooms for the use of the pupils of
the different grades. 1t should be but
a matter of few days until the addi-
tional $4,000 is raised. The subscription
paper is now in the hands of number
of our prominent citizens and will be

amount is raised What this means to
