yiding Place For Literary
Clubs and Gatherings.

The ladies of the Friday club, the

OF the Carnegie Library building
This club room will be for the free use
of any literary club and its manage
ment will be under the control of the

The suggestion of the REVIEW that
both Mr.. b. Y. Nicholson and Mr.. J B
Romans should be reelected as mem
bers of the school board seems to have
met with almost universal approval in
Denison. The school election is on
Monday next and those who approve
of the present board should remember
to cast their votes. In is standing
reproach to Denison that more interest
is not taken in our school elections and
while no contest is expected in the
present election it would be we'll that
every citizen should De present at the
polls. Remember the election is on
Monl4y.

Jury Deliberates But Twenty
FIVE Minutes
A Hard Fought Case Results in Con.
yictiOn for Serious
Offanse

M, l.. Parmenteir has been found
guilty on the charge of keeping house
OF Ill fame at Ari IN in the spring. of
1907. The verdict was rendered on
Friday forenoon after the jury had the
case but twenty five minutes. 1t is re-
ported that three ballots were taken
the first being eleven for conviction
and one for acquital, the second the
same and the third unanimously for
conviction. The case has been most
stubbornly contested, the testimony
covered that OF nearly forty witnesses
and from the nature of the case was of
a highly sensational character. The
crime of which Parmentier has been
found guilty is justly a penitentiary
offense, nothing can be more repulsive
than the thought of man seeking to
profit by the depravity of lewd women
and equally lewd men. The conviction

place bore good reputation until the

be dropped if the conviction ~holds.
While we regret the necessity for
