FARMERS MEET.
Telephone Question Draws
Large Crowd to City Hall.
A COMPROMISE EFFECTED.
Contracts with Crawford County Com

Years Numerous Concessions
Are Made

The farmers were in town Saturday
from far and near to attend the meet
ing announced for the settlement of
the telephone question. Mr.. C. P
Harvey was called to the chair and
Rev. w. A. .Frese was elected secre-
tary. The committee formerly appoint
ed reported that they had had numer-
GUS conferences and as result would
submit new form of contract with
the Crawford county telephone COM
pany with the recommendation that it
be adopted. The new contract pro-
vided for five years contracts on the
basis of $l.00 per month and allowed
new subscribers the same rate pro-
viding they hauled and set up the
poles needed. 1t also provided that
the farmers should be allowed to talk
over the farm lines with those on
allied exchanges without extra cost.
1t was moved that the report. be re-

DR.. w. B. Evans was called upon

there was a rapid exchange of ques-

Larson and Glenn which began to get

AN IOWA INDIAN TRIBE.
Lorenz Lorenzen Of Denison One of
Ten in New Merit Order at
University

Iowa City, Ia, Feb. 10 Special:
The Meskwakis are not the only
Indians in Iowa now, for the tribe of
Waskwi has been born at the Uni
versity of Iowa. This is new organ
ization formed from students of the
junior class, College of the Liberal
Arts, and limited to ten men. The
object is the promotion of good fell
lowship, class loyalty and university
spirit. Similar organizations have
been or will be formed in all the
larger universities of the middle west.
Eligibility is based on scholarship
and general congeniality, and each
member must have distinguished him
self in some one university activity.
One of the cardinal qualifications is
that members shall not have flunked
in any study during their whole col
lege course. This, it is whispered,
accounts for the limitation on num-
bers. At the Pend of the present
school year ten men will be selected
from the sophmore class to take the
place of the present juniors and con-
tinue the organization. All members
must be approved by President Mac
Lean and the dean of the College of
Liberal Arts.
The university at present has a
number of societies supposed to be
based on proficiency in certain depart
ments, but which in fact emphasize
the social side. The new society
promises to subordinate general con-
geniality'' to the other qualification,
scholarship. The name Waskwi"
is an Indian word, meaning medicine
in the Indian sense of learning. Each
member will wear symbolical en-
blem made by an Indian jeweler at
Tama.
A public initiation will be held on
the university campus, in which Lo,
the poor Indian" will appear in war
paint and war whoop to spread their
ancient civilization among the white
residents.

our NEWEST FIRM
Warbasse Stock Passes Into
New Hands.
RANDALL AND BOYLAN BUY.
Well Known Denison Men Purchase
Jewelry Store and Will Conduct
Business on Large Scale.

Denison's newest business firm
composed of A. D. Randall and A. r.
Boylan who have purchased the big
jewelry stock recently traded to Kan
sas parties by Mr.. j. L. Warbasse.
Mr.. Randall has purchased the build
ing and he and Mr.. Boylan have pur-
chased the stock and will conduct the
business permanently. This means
strong, active firm, we'll equipped both
financially and by experience to build
up an extensive trade.
Mr.. Randall has lived in Denison
for many years and is known to all.
No man in Denison has better repu-
tation for honesty, liberality and
enterprise. About a year ago he sold
his meat market which he had built
up into one of the most successful in
this section of Iowa, to Rohwer and
Co. Since that time he has been
looking for an opportunity for invest
ment and his many friends have been
hoping that he would not leave Deni-
son. The news that he has decided
to again become one of Denison's s
business men is welcome tidings.
Mr.. A. F. Boylan has been resi-
dent of Denison for number of wears
and has built up a reputation as first
class workman and popular sales
man. His intimate knowledge of the
jewelry business will be of greatest
value to the firm. While in Denison
Mr.. Boylan has proven himself not
only good workman but a good
citizen in every respect. The Review
believes that there is room in Denison
for two up-toda and enterprisine
jewelry firms. The new concern
starts under the most happy auspices
and there can be no doubt but tina,
success will attend it.

WINS.
Selected for Next Fireman's
Tournament
JUNE SEVENTH THE DATE
Delegates Are Royalty Entertained
With Banquet and Grand Ball at
Opera House.

Representatives of the Maple VAL
ley Fireman's Association met in
business session in Denison on We'd
nesday. Sixteen towns out of the
eighteen in the association were rep
resented and the delegates were loud
in their praise of Denison and it's hos
pitality. The meeting was held in
the Commercial Club rooms which
were thrown open to the city's guests.
The association elected the following
officers for the ensuing year. Presi-
dent, Henry Harlow, of Onawa
Treasurer, Chas. Harvey, of Logan;
Sec'y., H. V. Chaplin of Mapleton.
On the question of the location of
this years tornament there was quite
contest Mapleton, Holstien and
Denison, being the principal contest
ants. After several ballots the plum
was won by Mapleton, and the date
fixed for June 7th. Denison labored
under the double disadvantage of be-
ing the newest member of the associa-
tion and of not having any regular
team for the tournament. Denison is
in good position to secure the tourna-
ment for 1908, however and a strong
effort should be made to secure it at
that time. At Z O'Clock the guests
and numerous citizens repaired to a
delicious banquet which was served at
the Merchants s hotel. The banquet
was followed by toasts and expressions
of good will.
The guests next were invited to the
opera house where grand ball was
given in their honor. The ball was
we'll filled with dancers, the music
was superfine and all enjoyed the mer-
riest kind of time. Denison enjoyed
the presence of her guests and hopes
that they carried away none but the
most pleasant impressions of our city.

The meeting broke up with good feel

telephone question is settled for three
years at least.
