The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1902-12-09

In facilities for work in the natural
sciences experts have stated that the
Denison schools stand among the very
few of the state-the equal of those in
the very largest cities of Iowa.
Mr.. Ralph W. Core is the principal
of the school, he is not only an excel
lent teacher but his careful, prudent,
upright and most economical life is
daily lesson to those under his charge.
Fermeatine the entire school however
is felt the influence of that broad mind
ed educator who is at the helm. Mr..
Savage devotes his days to work and
his nights to planning for the schools.
He it is who is always at the elbow OF
the school boaad urging progress and
increased facilities, he it is who has
won the confidence and esteem OF every
boy and girl in Denison and who has
established an ''esprit du corps that
holds the students to the schools and
makes them proud and glad to be
among it's members. The Denisor
i High School of today is the equal O.
most academies 1t thoroughly pre-
pares for business life or for a college
course.
Facilities for instruction in manua
training should be added, and the pres

Last Friday evening the Eastern
Star Ladies scored the success of the
season at their banquet which was
given in the City Hall to the Masonic
Lodge of Denison. The ladies had
planned and prepared for this event
for two weeks previous to the appointed
time and left nothing undone that
would add to the enjoyment and enter
tainment of the guests. The five tables
representing the five points of a star
ere arranged in square with one
standing diagonally in the centre. The
tables were decorated with the colors
of the Eastern Star and roses, carna-
lions and mighionette aided by the
bright light of two candelabras on
| each table added to their splendor.
| The viands on the table looked rich
enough for royalty in their settings OF
the finest table ware of the city which
had been supplied by the ladies.
4 little after 8 O'clock the Masonic
school of instruction broke up and as
soon as the gentlemen could secure
their ladies the feast began and ended
about l0:30.when short programme

pretty young ladies had been engaged
to serve the guests which they did to
perfection. Serving the 13O present

FISTS USED IN THE SENATE.

DisgracefuI Scene on the Floor of the L.
:. senate while ia Open Session,
WASH1NGTON: A disgracoful scene
occurred on the floor of the senate Mr..
Tillman, in his speech regarding the
ratification of the Paris treaty, said that
improper influences were brought to
bear in securing votes and that the fed
eral patronage of his state had been
given to Senator McLaurin in exchange
for his vote. Mr. McLaurin shortly
after arose and in no uncertain terms
called his assailant guilty of utteiing a
''wilful, malicious deliberate lie. Mr..
Tillman, who was occupying his rcgu-
lar seat ON the main aisle sprung with
tiger like fcrocity at his collegue. Mr..
Teller, of Colorado, who was sitting at
his desk between the two South Caro-
lima senators was swept ASIDE without
ceremony. Indeed, the infurated Til
man climbed over him in his effort to
reach McLaurin. Without the slight
est hesitation Mr. McLauriu sprung to
meet the attack half way. Tillman
aimed wild blow Mt his colleague with
his night fist. 1t landed upon McLaur-
in's forehead just above the left eye al
though its force was partially spent
upon McLaurin's $ arm, which he had
raised in an effort to parry che blow.
\ few more blows were exchanged in
a short time, one of which landed on
Tillman's nose, drawing the blood. As
speedily as 1t cOuld be done, other scna-
tors interierred and separated the men.
When the affair had quicted down Mr.
McLauin attempted to finish his tirade
against Gilman, but was promptly
stopped by the chair \ motion was
made whereby the senate went into an
executive session and the galleries
were cleared and the doors were closed.
At this session, which lasted nearly two
hours, the senator's were given a chance
TO apologize.
\ resolution was adopted declaring
the two senators in contempt and de
