fire giving the intended victim time to
make her escape. Miss Thompson did
not file information against Clark but
others did and he was soon arrested
by officer Mcclellan. 1t is said that
he told the officer that it was the
fault of the gun that he did not ac-
complish Miss Thompson's death.
He was arraigned before Mayor
Carey, but on change of venue the
preliminary hearing was held before
Justice Gulick, who held him to the
grand jury under $1,000 bonds. He is
now in Jail awaiting trial.
Clark is a man of about thirty five.
He came to Denison few years ago
and seemed to be without visible
means of support. He posed as a de-
tective and at the time of the mys-
terious fires in the county near Deni-
son it is said that he did receive
monies from several parties in order
that he might bring his Sherlock
Holmes skill to bear on the case. He
gained an unenviable reputation in
Denison and finally he received one of
the famous "Red Letters ordering
him out of town. He left, but re-
turned in a few days. He was ar
rested under the state law for va
grancy and Justice McLennan gave
him a Jail sentence of six months,
wisely allowing one hours time to
arrange his affairs" before the sent
ence took effect. Clark arranged his
affairs by leaving town and he was
not heard from until his temperance
last week. Miss Thompson had a
narrow escape and we believe. Clark
will wish he had needed his red let
ter" better before he gets through
with the charge now against him.

MORE Gas TALK.
City Council Discusses Pro
posed Franchises.
TWO COMPANIES IN FIELD,
Kelly and Nichols On Hand But Quick
Asks Time and Matter is Post
poned to March IS.

The city council wrestled with the gas
problem on Monday night. but no action
was taken and the whole question was
postponed until March 1eth when both
Kelly and Nichols aud the Denison Elec-
trio Company expect to be on hand with
their propositions.
Mr. w. W. Kelly was present and
presented franchise such as the COM
pany has at Carroll. He wishes twenty
FIVE year franchise. Maximum rate to be
81 50 and no greater than the average rate
charged in any FIVE Iowa towns of same
approximate size as Denison and useing
about the same amount of gas. Gas to be
furnished free in all city buildings.
MIR. Gulick represented the Denison
Electric Company. He had no ordinance
framed and asked further time in which
to consult his stockholders. A special
election will be necessary now under any
circumstances and the ccuucll wisely
conclnded to no the matter over until a
.ater date.
Neither company seems inclined to put
up bond for the erection of a plant if
the franchise is granted and have offered
to pay the expense of the special election
only in case the franchise carries.
The Review thinks that the companies
should guarantee all election expenses in
any event. and it would again urge upon
the council to COMPEL the company to
file detailed sworn statement as to the
cost of erection of the plant, as it NAV be
matter of first importance to the voters

come up, or the question of ra'es be un-

He was quiet and unosentatious but he

received of his illness and his mother

sincere sorrow that it was learned that the
disease had proved fatal and that the one
who left Denison SO full of hope and

NOT A CANDIDATE.

Mayor Carey tells us that he is not
seeking another nomination. If the
citizens called upon him with unanim-
ity as they did two years ago he
would probably accept, but he does
not expect such contingency to arise.
He tells us that both republicans and
Democrats have treated him we'll and
he does not care to hold the Office for
another term.
Mr.. Carey has male good mayor.
Two years ago he received the ex-
traordinary compliment of bi-party
endorsement, and it seems to us that
the republicans can put up a candi-
date this year without any reflection
on the present mayor, and that it is
their duty to do SO.

A BIRTHDAY PARTY.

One of the pleasant events of the
week was the gathering at the home
of Mr. M. Haskins on Friday evening
to help him celebrate his seventy third
birthday. Many old time friends
and neighbors were present. Frank
Lesher volunteered to cook the oysters
in the old-time way when he was
Denison's chef and splendid supper
was enjoyed. Mr.. Haskins is one of
our number One citizens, always kind
and lovable and true-hearted. We
wish him many more happy years Of
life and usefulness.

SHOOTS TO KILL

One Thousand Dollar
Bonds
On Sunday Denison was treated to

On Sunday Denison was treated to
as genuine scene from life's melo-
drama as can be found in the annals
Of the Chicago American. Because
his former sweetheart refused to open
negotiations to renew their engage
ment Vernon Clark drew revolver
on Minnie Thompson, fired at her
from distance of but ten feet, the
bullet striking the door casing at her
side. Clark attempted to shoot again
but the gun refused fire and in the
meantime Miss Thompson fled.
The affair happened between one and
two o'clock at the home of Mr.. w.
w. Hoover at whose house the Thomp-
sons have rooms. 1t seems that some
time ago Clark and Miss Thompson
were engaged to be married. Later
Clark was requested to leave Denison,
by one of the red letters which hast
ened the departure of number of
people about year ago and Miss
Thompson learning more of his char
acter, broke the engagement and re-
fused to correspond with him or to
have anything more to do with him.
He remained away from Denison for
about year but turned up last week
and at once commenced bothering
Miss Thompson, hanging about her
home, sending her notes, demanding
interviews and even making threats
if the interviews were not granted.
On Sunday afternoon he called at
the back door of the Hover home and
Miss Thompson came to the door.
She repeated her refusal to go with
him to talk things over, and without
warning Clark drew his revolver and
fired. Excitement made his aim poor
and to this fact Miss Thompson owes
her life. The bullet missed its mark
by about foot and was imbedded in
the casing of the door. Clark at once
tried to fire again but the gun missed

many cases, none too good-for a
fair price, he was contented to do
business.
But the time arrived when the
creamery owner was not the only
factor in the dairy business. For
the wise farmer took a hand in il,
and gave the public to understand
that he must keep cows in order to
keep his land up, and that if he was
compelled to keep cows, he must
have price for their product equal
to the cost of their keeping and the
labor necessary to care for them
This he found he could not get
from the little whole-milk creamery
because, in many cases, it cost more
to manufacture the butter than could
be afforded.
The farmer is ever on the alert
to have things go his way and he
proposed another creamery, close by,
perhaps, on the cooperative plan.
Soon such creameries were quite
numerous throughout the country.
but this did not better the conditions
and, in many instances, we could look
around and see small creameries
standing idle, usually for want of
funds, and the farmer was still look
ing for an outlet for his cream.
Here the centralizing plant, backed
up by plenty of capital and aided by
the hand separator, came to his
relief, and by this combination, the
farmer is not only able to keep his
cows at a profit, but is able to in
crease the number of cows very ma
terially from time to time. If the
centralizing plant was compelled to
gather whole milk, the advantage
woud be less, but owing to the fact
that a farmer can separate his own
milk and send only the cream to the
centralizing plant, it is very much
safer proposition, not only for the
farmer, but for the plant.
BY so doing the farmer can ship
this product with just as much safety
as he can his wheat, beans or any
other crop and Usually to better ad-
vantage. He is not troubled with
weather conditions, as his cream will
GO to market just as we'll in a rainy
day as a fair one
Again, the farmer is enabled to
realize more from this method of
handling his milk than he can by
handling it in any other way. He

MICHIGAN BANKS PROSPEROUS.

A prosperous condition of the state
banks of Michigan is shown by the
report of Banking Commissioner Moore
for the year just ended.
During the year 25 new banks aud
one trust company were organized, and
there are now $50 state banks, five trust
companies and one society of savings
under the supervision of the state bank
ing department.
The increase of capital invested in
banking institutions during the year is
quite remarkable. Ten banks have added
$407 800 to their capital stock, and, with
the new banks organized, total of
81, 1872, 800 has been added to the bank
ing capital of the state.
Two state banks went into liquidation
during the year. There were no failures
of state banks.
