A TRAINED NURSE
After Years of Experience, Advises Women In
Regard to Their Health.

of 65 Chester Avenue,
Newark, N. j., who is a

Nurse at the Philadelphia

they do not know just where they are at
regarding the court house construction.
Practically no work has been done on the
building during the past two months
The contractors say that they cannot pro
ceed until the roof is on and the roofers
say they cannot go ahead until the dor e
is erected and the base of the dome is
said to have left Chicago on MONDAY
Unwisely, the board has placed no time
limit on the construction of the building
and there seems to be nothing to do hut
to await the convenience of the contract
ors. The contractors have promised that
the bailding would be ready for partial oc-
cupancy this fall but it would appear that
there is little likelihood of the fulfllment
of the promise.

judged insane he was taken to the state

he becomes violently insane and must be

that he was much improved. Later de-

finally Opportunity came and found them
ready.
Mr.. E. c. Petersen decided that he
could find better scope for his business
ability and capital in a larger town and
accordingly rented an excellent locaHon
in Kansas City. He announced that he
would close out his business here and
there was at ouce much speculation as to
what would become of Denison's long es-
tablished clothing corner. 1t was then
that the Huettran Brothers came to the
front. Quietly they went to work, secured
lease on the building, found men in
Denison who had confidence in their busi-
ness abb ity and who were ready to ad-
vance them what money they needed to
buy brand new stock of clothing aud to
take up the business where Mr.. Petersen
might leave off. I, was as shrewd a busi-

only such energetic, nervy young men as

vALE-THE OLD REVIEW OFFICE

The REVIEW is having hard time, to
keep the root over its head these days.
The old REVIEW building is being torn
down forever. 1t is all right and we are
glad of it but there are many tender
recollectons connected with the old
building that come to US as we hear the
carpenters at their work The building
has been standing about thirty-h years.
AT one time il housed the Rsvtew. Die
Zeitung, the postoffice and the express
Office. In the early days the mail was
delivered to Charter Oak. Kiron, Deloit
and Harlan from the Denison Office and
all the farmers living in the German set
tlement came to the Denison pestotfice
for their mail. Later the Morgan post
Office was established and the mail was
sent out from Denson. Thus every old
settler in the county had business in the
REVIEW building at some time in the
year. The old Office was the scene of the
lsbors of Mr.. ]. Fred Meyers throughout
his life in Denison. For this reason if
for no other we believe that many good
and useful things have come out of its
portals. Thoughts and words that have
helped the people of the entire county.
Words of comfort and sympathy in time
of trouble and hardship, words of helpful
ness and siren 9Th for the over-weari4d
words of hope and energy for the young
and ambitious, words of rejoicing and con
graduation for the happy and the success
full. And with i. all there came from the
pen of j. Fred Meyers much wisdom.
From the dingy Office windows he looked
but upon the world and knew it for his
own. His mind was at home in every
great men of his times and they knew and
respected him and the editorials of the
little country weekly, issued from the
little frame Office in the little frontier
town had weight i'll the councils of the
| Nation. We believe it was this constan
educating force that made the great men
of Crawford county to-day. The constant
and thoughtful rea Ter Of the REVIEW in
the days when j. Fred Meyers was at
! the helm became statesman in spite of
himself for the brainy man does not end
his education with his school days, and
thus it was that when called upon Deni-
son has never failed to furnish men of the
first calibre.
1t is our hope that the new building
may become the home of as much good
and as much usefulness as the old busi.
ness building knew in its best days. 1t is
our hope that the REVIEW may always
stand for what is right and honest, and
that it may always be welcomed as a
friend in the homes Of the people. We
are ready to give our readers the very best
that is in us. We know our limitations,
know that we lack the wisdom. the pro-
fundity, the intimate knowledge of men
and events that characterized the great
editor of tie REVIEW but we shall keep
on giving our best and hoping that with
the years some portion of his wisdom and
experience may be ours. It is a comfort
to know that the REytEw will live long
after we too are gone. that it is a part of
the county and the countys history and
that just as the old building is vanishing
without interruption of the old paper
which it housed olong, 50 we also may
be laid away and it shall live.

SANDBAGGED AND ROBBED
ALONG SMYRNA RAILROAD
JOHN @. ZIMMERMAN THE VICTIM OF AN.
OTHER DARING HOLD.UP MONDAY NIGHT.
Zimmerman Was on His Way to Visit Friends
10 Smyrna When He Was Knocked Down
and Robbed of Watch and Money.

A daring highway robbery took
place near Font Hill. short distance
from Smyrna along the railroad Mon.
day evening in which John G.. Zim-
norman of Philadelphia formerly the
baker for E. X. Boehmler & Son was
knocked down and robbed of his
gold watch, gold trimmed spectacles
and $16 in money, and a railroad
ticket to Philadelphia. Zimmerman,
who had been away from Smyrna for
two or three months, came down on
the eight O'Clock train Monday even
ing to make a visit to his friends.
From the Smyrna station he walked
out the track directly after the train
had left on its return trip to Clayton,
when somewhere near Mrs. PRESLEY
Spruance's home Font Hill'' he was
overtaken by three young men. 1t
appears that the plans were deep set,
for one of the men slipped up behind
him and dealt him blow with blunt
object, probably a sand bag, which
felled him to the ground. He was
rendered unconscious and robbed as
above stated, After getting what they
wanted they left him IN the road to re-
cover as best he could. 1t was not un.
til sometime afterward, near morning,
that Zimmerman came to his senses,
and picking himself up walked tc
Smyrna and to the home of Richard
Cunning, where his injuries received
attention. DIR. E. S. Dwight was
summoned and found his left eve
badly battered and several abrasions
on his face and head. Zimmerman has
some suspicious as to the highwaymen
but whether he will bring action has
not been definitely determined. Fol
the safety of the public it is to bt
hoped the offenders will not be al
lowed to go unpunished.
