Among others of Fashions de-
crees for this season 1t Is expressly
stipulated that ladies garments
must cling. Padding OF the hips
and bustles are no longer permits
sible. Skirts must lay on the
ground one inch In front, three on
the sides and six In the back. This
will enable the wearer to deity
sweep up the superb .ous dust, mi.
crobes, cigarette stumps and other
forms of discarded tobacco. In
other words, a sort of animated
sidewalk sweeper. One must look
as slim as possible about the hips,
and as far down as the knees, where
the fariog begins and continues to
increase to the bottom. No refer
ence Is made to the ''old man, "who
will do little flaring himself,wh
the bill comes In. But first of all
the garment must Cling" Keep
your eye on that fact ladies. 9th.
ers will keep their eyes OIL you.

How About 1t.

We are DESTROYS of learning the
method of figuring as adopted by the
Dunlap papers. The following account
of the bowling game between Denison
and Dunlap appears in the Dunlap pa
pers. We do not quite catch or" but
supposed its that Harrison county
water:
The Dunlap bowlers took a sweet re-
venge out of Denison on the Denison
alleys last night, beating them by 1853
pins on their own battle ground. Dun
lap rolled total score OF 2642 against
24S9 for Denison. This makes the
towns even again as far as contests
won are concerned. Every one of the
Dunlap boys bowled over 200 in at
least one game during the series.
The result of the game was right the
reverse, from that stated above. Deni-
son beat the Dunlap boys three straight
games and total pins. The boys from
Harrison are all right fellows but they
were up against it when in Depison the
last time. Our boys rolled total of
2409 and the Dunlapers 2255. This
does look like Dunlap was victorious.

1t is sometime since we have taken
our typewriter in hand to enjoy a good
editorial talk with our readers. Other
duties have kept us busy so that it
seems almost like coming back from a
long journey to again resume editorial
work in earnest.
Now that the city council has de-
cided the important question of who
shall clean and keep in repair our
streets it is to be hoped that the work
will be done. We like to talk of pic
turesque Denison, but if some man
should take kodak and faithfully pre-
sent the appearance of Broadway or
Main street as it is today, to say moth
ing of the miserable alleys and back
doors of the uptown district, there
would be howl of indignation on all
sides. The truth is that the sanitary
conditions of the business portion of
Denison are about as bad as they can
be. In the crowded blocks where dur
ing the busy seasons hundreds of men,
women and children transact business,
there are almost no toilet accommodate
tions and those that do exist are filthy
beyond mention. These conditions are
conducive to all sorts of i'll health and
form positive menace to the welfare
of our city. The tenants should take
hold of the matter in earnest and iu-
sist that property owners provide suit.
able accommodations for both men and
| women and then the store-keepers
should see to it that they are kept
clean and healthful as possible. Oh
course this brings us to the question OF
Sewage This IS the next thing for
which Denison must go in debt as the
city cannot wait until the Indebtedness
is paid off for the introduction of a
sewage system. The question involves
more than a matter of Indebtedness. il
involves the health and happiness an6
perhaps the very life of hundreds Of
our people. If it were new road that
would open up new trade it would be
rapidly done and the money would be
Forthcoming. AS it is only question
OF health and perhaps of life and deatf
it viii probably be postponed.
If we were wealthy and wished to d.
Denison public benefaction it shoule
be the humble watercloset that should
be the object of our benefaction, fo
cleanliness is next to Goodness.

The latest folder issued by the
Minneapolis and ST.. Louis railroad
shows the extension from Storm Lake
to Denison connecting here with the
Illinois Central with which it is in
close touch In its passenger and freight
departments. We are informed that
the road will be built this summer and
that Denison will be the practical
terminus OF the M. & ST. T.. This un.
do1btedly means a division, at least a
freight division and will add greatly to
Denison both as to its population and
as to its Importance as railroad center
aud shipping point. The new road
will cross the North Western at Ode.
bolt and in the vicinity of Kiron and
will undoubtedly mean second road
for both of these towns. The M. &
st. L. folder also shows a separate line
from this place to Council Bluffs but
we understand that it is the intention
to double track the Central instead OF
building new line. All this means
that hundreds of men will be at work
in this vicinity this year and it should
mean splendid year for our merchants
in every line. This with the erection
of the library and the hundreds OF
private improvements now under con-
tract will give to Denison one of the
best years in its history.

The friends of Hon. j. P. Conner can
bat rejoice at the record he has made
and at the very general approval which
his course has met all over the district
The announcement of the congressional
convention to be held at Fort Dodge
on May 18th mas been the occasion for
many favorable newspaper comments
and not note of discord or lack of
confidence has been sounded through
out the district. This means that
Judge Conner will be nominated with
out opposition and elected practically
in the same way The Tenth district
will thus again go on record as favor
able to the idea of allowing good me-,
| to remain in Congress and there to
grow into commanding influence. 1t
was his continuous service and the
splendid backing given him by his dis
trict which made nolliver the states
man he is today, and we have every
confidence that in Judge Conner the
district has found a most worthy sue
cessor to its illustrious former repre-
sensitive. Years of experience on the
bench have given to Judge Conner a
fine judicial mind and have made him
used to passing upon questions upon
their merits and this fact has done
much to add to his popularity among
his present constituents. He has ar
rayed himself with no faction, has been
fair and just to all elements of the re
publican party and his re.nominatior
will come as fitting reward for good
and faithful service.

Speaking of benefactions reminds US
of the Carnegie library and the many
blessings il will bring to Denison. Very
wisely MIR. Carnegie asks that the city
show its willingness and ability to suit
ably maintain the library after it is
erected. 1t will be an easy matter to
raise the 81 900 necessary each year to
fulfill MIR. Carnegie's demands. The
present library tax amounts to almost
that much and instead of paying rent
for suitable room the surplus can be
spent for additional books and periodi-
calls so that the library shall keep in
creasing and shall be up-to-date at all
times 1t is estimated that out of the
81 900 from $500 to S400 can be ex-
pended each year for new books. The
site of the new building is the ques-
tion now bothering the heads of the
library committee. Tt would do no
good at present to mention the desir-
able sites, but it is pleasure to record
the generous offer recently made the
committee by Denison's splendid and
generous citizen, Mr.. L. Cornwell
Mr.. Cornwell is spending the winter in
California, but Immediately upon re-
ceiving his copy of the REVIEW an
nouncing the Carnegie gift he wrote
Mr.. Chas. Tabor, saying that he be-
lieved the lots just east of his
residence would make desirable To-
cation. that he would sell them for
that purpose at whatever was con.
sidered fair price. without imitation
of value, and that he would then give
one-half the purchase price to the Ii
brary. Whether the offer is accepted
or not the people can but feel grateful
to Mr.. Cornwell for his liberality as
those that know him know that the
| offer was made for no other purpose
than to do his share for the up-fuild
ing of his home city. There are one OF
two other desirable sites owned by
wealthy and philosophical citizens
and it is hoped that among them some
such generous offer may be made anc
accepted. In this way the Taxpayers
of Denison will have provided for then
a magnificent library building erected
on a site donated by the public spirited
people of Denison and filled with
choice hooks the majority of which
will have come from private philan
thropy and which will not have cos
the taxpayers as such, aSsingle cent
All that is asked is that Denison main
tain this great and benefcent public
institution. Naturally Denison will be
only too glad to do its share. The
offer made by Mr.. Cornwell but add
another to the many public spirited
and generous acts of "The man from
Denison.'

Strikes AID Spares
What the Bowlers are Doing.


The Tamm and Brown teams played
the last game of the present league sea-
son on the Denison Bowling Cos alleys
last night. The Brown team won two
out of the three games and by 1874 pins.
The games were poorly contested, the
work of the Tamm team being excep.
tionally poor. The absence of Jackson
and Luney of the Tamm aggregation
was undoubtedly the main cause of the
teams defeat. This gives the Brown
team second place in the percentage
column
Score by games is as follows:
