DENIsoN REVIEW:
| would like to take up small space
in yonr valuable paper so L may be able
to make things more clearly to my
friends in aud around Denison. I
notice in your issue of December 30 '03
that the Model Bakery failed to open
its doors for business on account of not
being able to meet bills left by a former
partner which refers to me Now those
bills he refers to were as much his as
they were mine and don't think am
being treated right by trying to throw
the blame upon me.
A brief history of the Model Bakery
will somewhat enighten my friends to
the true state of affairs which think
they are entitled to hear. When took
hold of the Model. as you all know it
was not and had nor been payin bus
mess for some time. Still by giving
the people the best of everything ex-
pected to make it pay and, was doing
fairly we'll until we were moved into
the street and then that completely
killed our business. AS you know we
were there over two months and then
had to take the only building we could
get which was not the proper location
aad from that on we lost money every
day until about Dec. '02. Mr.. Younng

bills that were contracted by US have
been paid for some time so under

houses.
Hoping my friends may better under.

to individuals disaster and to the coun-
try apprehension, but since they nave
failed to work general decentralization
they are DO no means an unmlxed evil.
BY this test it is proven that crashes
in Wall street may not carry the coun-
try to disaster. Wild speculation has
been curbed and values are on a more
normal basis. Conservatism about the
country is atfording an opportunity tor

stability and sound business conditions.

NEW CHICAGO.BLUFFs RECORD.
Takes 1. C. Train and Three Engines to
Make it in Twenty Hours.

A faded traveller with a prominent
appetite and stubby beard alighted
from an Illinois Central passenger
train at o'clock yesterday afternoon
after thrilling ride of twenty hours
from Chicago. On leaving the train he
shook hands with tie conductor and
said It'll really had begun 10 seem like
home, he had been there so long.
Absut.the only excuse which can be
offered for the chronicling of this feat
of railroading is that it seldom happens
and is, therefore, a piece of legitimate
news. The train started from Chicago
at p. m. Wednesday and over the
entire run bad luck seemed to hang on
with deathlike grippe. The mortality
rate among the successive engines
which had to do with the hauling OF
the train was appalling, as there were
no less than three which ''died" on the
way. The first was unable to clear the
Twelfth ST., yards in Chicago without
assistance and the train lost two hours
before reaching Rockford, Ill. The
next two engines we're almost as unfor-
tunate, while the climax was reached
when the train arrived at Ulmer,
small station near Wall Lake. Here
the engine. No. 225, fell down and was
unable to rise.
Two hours went by and The anxious
watchers had not a CLEAN OF hope as
reward. They were also on the point
of starving, for the diner mad been tax
en- off after supper the night before
and the supply in the buffet lunch de-
partment was frozen up.
The one general store of which III
mer boasts soon did a landoffice bust
ness in sardines and ginger snaps, it's
main stock in trade, and the passengers
were appeased in their poor, weak way.
Meanwhile the anxiety over getting
into Council Bluffs again began to agi-
tate the passengers. The agent at III
mer set cheerily to work ordering an
engine to help the train to Council
Bluffs and his efforts were in meas
ure rewarded when an old and decrep-
it piece of machinery, more like a
trundle bed than anything else hove in.
sight and took the pace of the dead
engine.
From then on all was easy sailing,
the train on its arrival at Council
Bluffs discharging its passengers hon
orably after long period Of faithful
service pariel.

TWO MILLION-1N TREASURY.
State Of Iowa Can Stand the Loss by
Fire on the State Building.

Fire on the State Building.
+ The annual report of State Treasurer
Gilbertson shows that the state of Iowa
is amply able to carry her own insur-
ance, and that the loss of lire on the
state capitol will not in any way en-
barrass the treasury. There is now
on hand almost two million dollars in
cold cash, enough to make the needed
repair on the state building and per-
haps some for Legislation appropriation.
To be exact the state has on hand
81, 9s5. 4S6.2O. Of this s1,l90. 443.06 is
in the general revenue, the available
fund, a fact which would indicate the
state had money enough to repair the
damage done to the capitol and some to
spare.
At the close OF the business Jan. 3
1908. the state had on hand the sum OF
81, $3.50, 09476, and had in the general
revenue fund 1921, 472.27. This shows
an increase in the report for the year
Just closed of S26s, 34l.44 in the total
funds on hand and $26s. 970.79 in the
the general revenue fund.
The statement just made shows cash.
in the treasury amounting to 1892 6s.
OF this there is $3.50 in gold. 81, ll5 in
currency, s514,75 in silver, s3es.01 10
checks and drafts and $24.92 in nickels
and pennies. The fund deposited in
banks amounted to 81 ,z69, 553.52. There
was in the form of agricultural college
mortgages 1863, $50.
The report just made for the year
ending Jan. 2, 1904, shows money in

KICKS UPON NEGROES

The Savannah News thinks someone

attention to the fact that the race issue
has become acute in certain parts of
Indiana and the Indian Territory
In the fJrmer, at the town of Carlisle,
a few days ago mob of white men
notified twenty negro families that
they must get out of town, and take
Ill their belongings with them, wi b.
in twenty fur hours, or take the
c. nsequences. There was no COM
p ant against the negroes, except that
they were black-skinned. The whites
have merely made up their minds
that no negro shall live in the COM
munity. In the other case ref rred
to, IN Indian Territory, it is the red
men who have drawn the color line
against the theirs They refuse to
permit negro. children to after d
schools with black. If The driving
out of twenty negro families had oc-
cured in Mississippi, the Republican
leaders would haYe stood on their hind
legs and howled; but since it Is in
Indiana, they will hsve nothing to say
about it.
