Mr. Savage has nothing but the kindest

WELL DESERVED PROMOTION
Friends Rejoice With Him, But Sin.
cereIY Regret That Denison is to
Lose Him.

Supt. H. H. Savage closes his work in
Denison with the end of the present
school year and will accept the position of
Superintendent of the schools of East
Waterloo.
This announcement comes as severe
shock to those interested IN the welfare of
our schools as it will be most difficult to
find successor who has the ability, the
good judgment. the tact and the genuine
genius as an educator that Mr.. Savage
possesses AT the same time as friends of
Mr.. Savage, we can but rejoice at the
merited promotion that has come to him.
His relations here have been most pleas

He tells US that he would not think of
leaving Denison for any other place of
like size and importance and we believe
him. The field at East Waterloo is, how
ever. large one. 1t means not only a
substantial increase in salary, $500 being
the amount to be paid Mr.. Savage for his
first year of work, which amount the board
expects to increase from year to year, but
it also means wider reputation. larger op-
portunities and is another step onward in
the building of career. Over these facts
Mr.. Savage's Denison friends rejoice, but
it is certain that we shall miss him not
only as the head of our schools but as
Christian gentleman and citizen, without
fear and without reproach.
Mr.. Savage made no effort to secure the
appointment that has come to him and
made no application until overtures were
made to him by members of the Waterloo
board. 1t is COMPLIMENT to Denson
that when the school board:of Waterloo
wrote to leading and disinterested educa-
tors for advice about securing the best
possible man for the place some of the
best school men of the state, without hes
itation, recommended Mr.. Savage as one
who could fill the bill in...every respect.
Mr.. Savage owes his selection and pro-
motion to hard work. intelligence, ability
and absolute uprightness lof character5

about twelve thousand. Mr.. Savage will

THE HONORS AREEASY
Republicans and Democrats De.
vide the Offices.
WALKER FOR ATTORNEY.
Successful Aldermanic Candidates in
the Various Wards are Wright,
Mahler andsSchnoor.

The city election was largely non -parti-
san although both parties had tickets in
the field in each ward. ]. H. Walker had
large majority over his opponent E. X.
Burch.
In the first ward Mr.. Thew made
good run but was defeated by Mr.. Mark
Wright who received the republican sup
port.
In the second ward location entered in
to the contest to large degree and the
forces of west Denison, rallying to the
support of their candidate, carried the day.
There was no question as to Mr.. Nelson's
fitness for the Office and we greatly regret
that he was not elected. We believe the
streets of west Denison should be proper
ly graded as it is beautiful part of the
city and with stree. improvement would
build up very fast. At the same time we
do not think the work will be hastened
any by making it political issue.
In the third ward the Germans voted
for Mr.. Schnoor and he was elected.
Perhaps the fact that although candi.
date on the democratic ticket Mr.. Schnoor
has allied himself with the republican
party in many instances made the voters
cast politics to the winds in the city cleo
ton. Mr.. Schnoor IS good straight
forward business man and will doubtless
make good alderman. Dr. Simpson his
antagonist, although defeated need feel no
chagrin as he was handicapped by his age
and by the fact the German vote of the
ward. which is quite large, was unanimous
in wishing German en- the council.
The REVIEW stands ready to support
the new council in every thing they may
do for the good of Denison and promises
in advance not to handicap them by any
captious criticism. The council is now
evenly divided politically and this may re-
suit in complications as to the selection

CYRUS SSPRECHER DIES.
Age and Infrmity Conquer the
Powerful Will.
FUNERAL SERVICES TODAY
For Thirty Years He Lived in Denison
Esteemed and Honored by All. Was
Respected Citizen.

Again death has come among US and has
taken from our city one of it truest and its
best. Bowed down with weight of years
and of infrmities Mr.. Cyrus Sprecher de-
parted this life on the evening of Moaday,
March a7th, at 7:4o o'clock.
Mr.. Cyrus sprecher was born near
Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. in 1890.
His parents lived on a farm and it was
there that he spent his boyhood days.
Later, he went into business for himself,
owning grocery store in Chambersburg.
1t was not until 1872 that he first came to
Denison. His brother, Mr.. Samuel
Sprecher, had been IN business and
upon his death his brother, Cyrus, came
to t,enison te settle the estate. He sold
the store which his brother owned here
and returned ito his Pennsylvania home.
His brief visit had SO convinced him of
the possibilities of the west, however, that
he soon returned to Denison and establish
ed himself in businessshere. Returning
to Pennsylvania second time he was
married on June 10th. 1875, to Miss Belle
Deffenbaugh, the loving, loyal wife, who
survives him.
Mr.. Sprecher .built brick store build

! Chicago & Northwestern depot. Here the
family resided also until soon after the
birth of George. tbe only and the much
beloved son. The family then moved to
the residence that has ever since been their
| home.
Mr. Sprecher continued in the grocery
business for some years but finally sold
that branch of his business and devoted
himself to grain and live stock interests.

often gave in private charity from his own
purse when his ideas of integrity would
not permit him to use the money of the
city. By dint of hard work and economy
he was enabled to become the possessor
of no little property and he invested in
Crawford county lands, rightly judging
them to be the be stsavlng bank obtainable.
He owned fine stock farm of 500 acres
west Of Denison and farm of one hun
dred and sixty acres south of Denison to-
gether with city property.

and one sister but one brother Mr.. L. H.
Sprecher of Lanark. Ill. survives him and
he was privileged to be with his brother
during his last hours.
Mr. Sprecker was man of force and of
opinion He had high standard of pub
lie and private morals and to this standard
he strictly adhered. He took deep in
terest in the affairs of city. his state,
and the Nation. He was an earnest and
lifelong republican, one of the men who
took pride in his party because he be-
lieved it to be right, who was anxious to
help in its victories and VINO regarded his
right of suffrage as the highest privilege
of the American citizen.
He was devoted to his home and to his
wife and sen. After tn close of business
hours Mr.. Sprecker could always be found
at home unless the business of the city
called him elsewhere. He was hale and
hearty AS loyal a friend as man ever
had. If ever man hated hypocrisy and
pretense it was Mr.. Sprecher. He was
what he was. Out spoken. fearless.
straightforward and steadfast to what he
considered to be the right.
For many years he has been victim of
rheumatism and visits to various health
resorts failed to bring any permanent re-
lief. This winter he was confined to his
home and although he made an heroic
struggle for life he gradually grew weaker
until on Monday quietly and peacefully the
end of his journey came.
To Mrs. Sprecher who has been his de-
voted companion for nearly third of a
century, and to his son George who has
justly been the prideo his fathers heart,
we extend our most sincere sympathy.
They have as comforting thought in
their affliction that the life that has de-
parted was a brave one, free from blame
and that there are many dear friends who
will keep green the memory of his goodly
deeds.
Knowing that many of our readers will
value it highly we presentas supplement
to this issue portrait of our old friend
and neighbor and believe that it will find
a place of honor in many homes.

a week a~fterward, and early one
bright morning, the Gypsy, with
skipper, crew and a party of eight
Jolly young mon on board, sailed out
of Boston and thai night dropped
anchor under the lee OF an island in
Casco bay. She remained there one
full day and the next ran to Booth
bay and found shelter In u landlocked
cove forming part of the coast line
Of Southport island. 1t was after din
ner next day, and while the rest of
the party were either playing cards or
mapping In hammocks under the avn
ing, that Albert Page took one Of the
boats, his pipe and sketchbook and
rowed down the coast n mile to an in
let he had noticed the day before. The
outer point of this was formed by n
bold cliff that he desired to sketch. and
pulling the BOAT well up behind the
inner point, tying the painter to a
rock and taking the cushions along,
he found a shady spot and sat down.
The slopiug rock he selected for n
seat WAS n little damp, but he thought
nothing Of it, and lighting his pipe be-
gan sketching.
He worked for an hour putting the
weed draped rocks and long swells
that broke over them into his book,
IL then, lulled perhaps by the monot-
cnous rhythm of the ocean, lay back
on the cushions and fell asleep. The
next he knew he was awakened by n
cold sensation and found the tide had
risen until 1t wet his feet. Hastily
getting up, he took the cushions and
returned to where he had left the boat,
only to find it had disappeared. The
rising tide had lifted the boat and
painter from the rocks, and 1t was
nowhere to be seen.
"There must be some road back up
on the island" he thought, that will
lead me near the owe where the
Gypsy is" and, still retaining the
cushions, he started to find 1t. But
he was n stranger to Southport island,
and the farther away from the sea he
got the thicker grew the tangle of
scrub spruce and briers. 1t was too
thick TO see anywhere, and after n
half hour Of desperate scrnmbling the
afternoon sun began to seem about due
east. He had long since dropped the
cushions, and finally, in sheer cxhaus-
ton, he sat down on a rock to collect
himself.
