STORY OF THE BRlBE.

"I have received kilograms and letters
enough to spoil my sleep" said MIR. Dob
son. "since that inter low concerning The
Gomez hrbe FIRST Appeared. As Secretary
Root has admitted that the money was
really paid by Wood to Gomez. there can
scarcely he any further doubt OF the cor
rect and truthful purport OF the interview
The administration has done the only thing
that Il could do Under the circumstances,
made the plea that the buying of. Of Co
mez was mere matter of expedlency.'
Mr.. Dobson was asked what he thought
would be the future Of Cuba, md he re-
piled that he was sure It would come to
the level of the revolutionary South Amerl-
can republics.

will be annexed 10 the United States ne

NEGRO IN CUBAN POLITICS.
"Now there was one point that was not
brought out in the interview with me. That
was that the negro element, the element
mez could not be elected to the presidency
himself, was In favor OF choosing Bartolomo
Masso another negro. And the admins
tratlon at Washington was as determined
to defeat the election of Masso as IL was
TO keep Gomez out of the political arena
himself, or to prevent his throwing the
weight of his influence, that Is that OF
the negro element OF the Cuban popua-
tiou. in favor OF Masso. And that $4,000
vas paid especially to make it Impossible
for the negroes TO become an important
element in the first presidential election
which they could not be, with Gomez quiet
and in the background.
"As the governor general OF Cuba Mr,
Wood simply carried out the advices oi
the administration at Washington. There
fore Secretary Root was more than right
when he in his explanation Of my Inter
Wow assumed the entire responsibility for
the payment Of the sum to Gomez.'

right In slashinE prices and the public
locked to them in body. The trust at
tempted to meet the prices and even Of
fered lower figures, but hundreds Of people
refused to take their ice nj any price, and
they now see ruin and collapse staring them
i'm fhe face One Of the trusts factories,
the plant In Carrollton, has already been
forced 10 close, and II Is expected that
others viii be compelled TO shut up shop
number Of Ice dealers have aided the
debt on the trust by securing Ice from
ontside factories ana from Northern lakes,
and this has been an important factor in
the contest The lee factories at Thibo-
daux and Kentwood. IA. have been run

The street fair committees held a
general meeting at the city ball on
yesterday afternoon. The various COM
m!ttees report satisfactory progress ia
their work and the meeting showed
that the committees are hard at work
and that the fair will be tremendous
success in every particular. The music
committee asked for an additional hum
dred dollars in order that they might
employ the services of one of the best
bands in the country. This was given
them and they are now considering
offers from several famous musical
organizations. This assures the people
that they will have rea, musical treat
at the fair not merely blowing of
horns and beating of drums. 1t was
also definitely decided to employ the
boys band of Denison as a recognition
of the splendid work of that organiza-
tion during the past few months.

Death Of Patrick Flahiye.

Today occurred the funeral of Mr..
Patrick Flahive, son of Mr.. and Mrs
John Flahive Sr. of Paradise township.
Seldom has larger funeral been seen
in Denison and the extremely large at
tendance spoke louder than words If
the esteem in which this young man
was held. BE was in all respects
model young man, steady, industrious,
of the best of habits and a devout
Chistian. He was but twenty four
years of age at the time OF his death
and he was as promising young man
as there was in the county. He was
born in Crawford county and had lived
here all of his life. About two, weeas
ago he was stricken with tonsilitis
which soon developed more serious
symptoms and last week his life was
despaired Of He died on Monday,
August 1lth, and the fupe-al services
we're held at ST. Rose Of Lima's church
this morning, Rev. Father M. J. Far
reilly officiating. His parents and his
Borrowing brothers and sisters have
the heartfelt sympathy of all in their
great grief.

evening DR.. j. l. Gibson was elected

Bal tlett is one Of the greatest musicians
of Iowa and his nstructionsehould do
much to inculcate the principles Of
good music iu Denison and throughout
the county. 1t is to be hoped that out
OF til temporary chorus organization
something more permanent may be
formed. Nothing would afford more
delight to Denison people than per-
