SOME GOOD BASE BALL.
The Wheatland Leaders and South
jackson Game Sunday.
(Contributed)

The ball game Sunday between the
Wheatland and Jackson teams was a
we'll fought battle of base ball. The
jackson team was quite certain of
walking off with the easterners again
but met sad defeat which was big
surprise to the team. An overthrow
at first in the eight was the cause
two scores in their favor. Up to tha
time and after the eighth they did
not succeed in getting to second.
Theo. Brundt was in the box and did
excellent work and had good support.
While j. O'Connel did the twirling
for the visitors, but was pretty we'll
found and hammered. The game was
good swift game all through, full of
good plays and exciting.

1AER TO THE RESCUE,
Nightwatch Discovers Early
Morning Blaze:
GIVES ALARM PROMPTLY.
Firemen Do Splendid Work and Bar
Firemen Do Splendid Work and Bar
tcher Bros. Store is Saved
With Little Loss.

While making his regular rounds
about 300 A. M. on Saturday, night
watchman l.. M. Baer saw light
Pickering in Bartcher Bros. furniture
store. Running to the door he saw
that there was a small blaze near the
rear of the building. He had the
alarm sounded at once. broke in the
door and had blazing mattress car
ried from the store. In the meantime
the fire was discovered to be under
meath the floor and the building was
soon filled with smoke. The fire COM
panies responded very promptly but
only the chemical engine was used.
At first it was difficult to locate the
fire but the floor was taken up and the
strong chemical soon had the blaze ex-
tinguished. Owing to the good sense
OF those in charge in not allowing the
hose to be turned on in the building,
the damage was confined almost en-
tirely to the property destroyed by
fire and this loss would not exceed $100.
One high priced mattress was destroy
ed, several mattresses injured and a
few pieces of furniture scorched. The
damage to the building was repaired
for $1,000. An insurance adiuster
who came on Monday, congratulated
the Denison fremen, saying he had
never before seen an interior fire
where so little damage was done in ex-
tinguishing the flame. The fire start
ed from the outside, back of Schlum-
berger's Pharmacy, either from a
carelessly thrown cigar or from spon-
taneous combustion in pile of refuse
next the Bartcher store.
The fire got under the sheet iron
covering and followed the ioists along
the floor. Finally the fame burst
through the floor and set fire to a heap
of mattresses and furniture. Had the
nightwatch been ten minutes later the
Bartcher store would probably have
been total loss and the entire row of
frame buildings on Broadway would
have been in ashes.
Bartcher Bros. feel very grateful to

IS FAIR
Good Crowds Enjoy the Differ
ent Attractions.
'REE SHOWS ARE FEW
Free Acts Few and Far Between
Heinz Bros. and Local
Managers at Outs.

Carnival week in Denison has
proven moderate success so far.
Tuesday and Wednesday showed fair
crowds but the threatening weather
of today has evidently kept many
away. There are six attractions and
many minor concessions to amuse the
crowd and we judge that all have had
a good time.
The free shows are not at all what
were promised and are decidedly tame.
Heinz Bros. explain that through an
accident and other causes their free
attractions have failed them here, and
they show letters and kilograms to
prove that they are securing the
country to get something better for
the last two days. This morning
there was heated dispute between
Heinz Brothers and the local men un-
der whose auspices the carnival is be-
ing given. For time it looked as if
the whole thing would be abandoned
but compromise was effected with
the understanding that Heinz should
redouble his efforts to get added at
fractions for Friday and Saturday.
The Ferris wheel which carries
passengers to the height of Sd feet is
proving an attractive novelty and is
we'll patronized. The merry go-round
is fine one and is kept busy all the
time averaging more than 1000 rides
a day. Mysterious Eva'' and Her
man the magician are giving good
show fully worth the fifteen cents ad-
mission charged. This is the best
show on the streets.
The next best is one given at John
sons corner, The Little Gem The
atre. Sid the human snake, acrobat
and trapeze artist is the chief feature
backed by a clever home grown Ie.i,s- Fin
strel aggregation in original stunts.
The San Francisco Disaster and the
Moonshiners are moving picture shows
which would be much better
We're the apparatus in better shape.
Aside from these there are cane racks,
baby racks, knife racks, pounding
machines, shooting galleries and
stands Of different kinds. The Den
ison Commercial Band is furnishing
good music and the dances at the
opera house every night are drawing
good crowds. Saturday night is fixed
for the genuine carnival night when
the confetti will fly and the crowd
break loose for good time. Those
who wish can have good time at the
carnival, it is not SO complete as it
was hoped it would be. We have
given our readers a truthful state
ment without coloring of any kind.
If you come to Denison to have good
time you can have it, if you come to
find fault you can find it. There is
a prospect of better free attractions
for Friday and Saturday but there is
no certainty of this. The Review
does not wish to keep any ose away
for there is lots of fun to be had and
you will get your moneys worth,
neither do we wish to be party to
getting people here by overstating the
facts.

A REPUBLICAN DEsERTER.

Joe Christensen says he is going to
vote the democratic ticket hereafter.
He has been trying for month to
secure a barber and finds it impossible
to get one. He tells US that during
the last democratic administration he
had applicants hunting him up nearly
every day, willing to work for low
wages, wanting to sell him their strops
and razors and finally hitting him for
quarter to buy dinner. Joe says
he will sure enough go democratic if
he don't find barber before long.

Albert B. Cumimns was renomin-
ated for Governor by the republican
state convention on Wednesday. The
vote on the only ballot necessary
standing Cummins, 9s3, Perkins 6o3
Rathburn, 104. Crawford county de-
vided its vote as per agreement
made with the approval of the county
convention.
The scenes at Des Moines were
stirring and there were many pre-
dictions of trouble and even of riot
ing. All the Cummins delgates were
seated save those from Jefferson coun-
ty, and this report was adopted un-
animously. Before the dove of peace
had been at work and the stand-pat-
ters while remaining loyalty with
their candidate, as will be seen by
the vote, determined to bow without
protest to the will of the majority to
the end that Iowa might be saved to
the republican party without break
in its congressional delegation.
The acceptance of the report of the
credentials committee settled the con-
test and the nomination was made
g.th great enthusiasm on the part of
the Governors many friends. The
vote on Lieutenant Governor stood
Garst 9l7, Raymond 722. For Secre-
tary of State Hayward received S55,
Richards 476 and Hites 30s.
w. w. Morrow was chosen unan-
imously for treasurer. For Atty.
General H. w. Byers received 933,
Cloud $40 and Mckenzie 101.
w. l.. Eaton received 134S votes
for Railroad Commissioner, the lar
gest vote received by any man before
the convention. Col. d. j. Palmer
was also renominated receiving 922
votes to 355 for Sitz and GAL for
Buttles. The balance of the ticket
was renominated by acclamation.
Both Progressives and Standpatters
are represented on the ticket, the
platform is thorou shly republican and
we can see no good reason why every
republican in Iowa, and every citizen
favoring good government, cannot
vote for all the candidates.
The result of the convention was
great disappointment to the democrats
who had hoped for such divisive strife
as might lead them to victory.
Governor Cummins is not only the
idol of large majority of the re-
publicans of Iowa, but he has an i'm
mense democratic following, and his
election by large majority is sure.
We would ask every one of our
readers to give the platform careful
study. 1t embraces the great prin-
ciples of republicanism and is a de-
claration of principles upon which
every republican can stand.
The Review is heartily glad that
the bitter contest is at an end. 1t
is also thankful that it has nothing
to recant or retract, no crow 10 eat,
no parallel columns to fear. but that
it can shout with sincerity, Hurrah
for A. B. Cummins and the Grand Old
Party.

CHARTER OAK NEXT.

Quite delegation of Charter Oak
people came to Denison today to at
tend the carnival and to advertise
the carnival at Charter Oak which will
take place August 1925. Denison
appreciates their visit and it is to
be hoped will reciprocate later in the

we hope will always continue. Char

BAD IQUANDARY

Between the devil Of the Southern
Pacific Company and the deep blue sea
of the navigation laws is the awkward
Wright, master of the big ferry steamer
Solano. that ferries overland and up
country trains across the straits of
Carquinez. He is on the griddle before
United States Local Inspectors Bolles
and Bulger for having obeyed the laws
of his railroad master and broken the
laws of his Government-also supposed
to be his master when not eclipsed by
the railroad. On November 13 Secre-
tary Metcalf was on the way east with
gripsack full of papers on the Jap
anese school question and attempted
to get out at the galley end of the
Pullman dining car while the train
was being ferried across the straits.
He found that there had been an exit
there. but that the door was securely
fastened with screws so that 1t could
not be opened He reported the breach
of the navigation law to the local in
spectors and they had Captain Wright
before them yesterday to show cause
why his license as master should not
be suspended
Harry Hansen testified before the
board yesterday that he was the super
intendent of the Pullman cars in ques-
tion and that those cars were oper-
ated by and for the Southern Pacific
Company.
Captain Wright admitted that six
Pullman trains q day were being car
ried over the ferry at the present time
and that the doors are still kept closed
as they were when Secretary Metcalf
observed them.
II am very badly handicapped" added
the captain. II have to obey the orders
of my employer, the Southern Pacific
Company and lose my license, or to
obey the orders of the Government and
lose my job. / have my hands full in
navigating the steamer without at
tempting the regulate the Pullman car
service

sci for the Southern Pacific Company,

OPPOSE RA|LR OA D
ON DOLORES

Determined protest is being made by
the Dolores Street Improvement Club
against the rumored effort on the part
of the United Railroads to get a rail-
way franchise on that thoroughfare.
The residents in the street who form
the membership of the club desire an
attractive boulevard, and at meeting
held Friday night a committee was
appointed to call on the Board OF SUI
pervisors to make formal protest
against granting the franchise.
Instead of a railway track the resi-
dents want the street ornamented with
center flower gardens, generally termed
street centers. A fund has been set
aside by the city for the street centers.
but that has been turned back by the
Supervisors into the general fund. The
Supervisors also gave over the matter
of making street centers to the Park
Commission, but failed formally to
notify that body of the fact.
Park Superintendent McLaren prom
ised the club that as soon as the
weather would permit he would have
the Mission Park planted with flowers
and grass.
The secretary of the club was di-
rected to communicate with the Board
Of Public Works complaint regard
ing the practice of many lumber haul
ers OF leaving their loaded wagons on
the street at night and over Sunday
A constitution and bylaws were
adopted at the meeting and the follow
ing officers were elected: A. S. Perley,
president; J. D. Hannah. first vice pres
ident; l. c. Dibert. second vice presi-
dent; l. B. Sibley. treasurer: H NJ

chairmen were appointed for the re-
spective committees: Father Cummings
on fire and police protection. l. B.

Of One Horse
Car 1910 of the Fillmore and Six
teenth street line yesterday ran into a
milk wagon belonging to the Standard
Milk Company, driven by C. Zuf7u, de-
molishing the wagon and spilling sixty
gallons Of milk in the street. The
driver escaped injury by jumping. The
accident was due to defective brakes
on the car.
Immediately after the accident. which
occurred on Sixteenth street, the car
was transferred to the Chutes line be-
cause of the lack of heavy grades on
that run. On the first trip the same
car. in charge OF another motorman,
collided with delivery wagon belong
ing to the Davis -Schonwasser Company,
badly injured the horse attached.
The second accident took place on
