Con Enright Takes Slice at Denison's
Street Commissioner.

Will Northam. street commissioner
is going about with game leg as a
result of Con Enrlght's over in
dulgence in red-eye. Monday night
Northam and Alderman Pat Lane
stepped into Miller and Klinker's
place on business. Enright was in
there and paid his compliments to the
city officials in rather heated terms.
They paid no attention to him and
soon stepped out in front of the
saloon. Enright followed and accord
ing to Northam tried to pick a
quarrell. Before Northam realized
that the situation was critical, En-
right made pass at him with knife
cutting him on the left leg. The
cut was about four inches long but
fortunately was not deep. A warrant
was issued for Enright's arrest but
he disappeared at once and has not
been found as yet.
Con is usually a peaceable. hard
working man. We are told that he
has been drinking considerably the
past two weeks and this must accoun,
Tor his conduct.

Walker Bros. had fine law library
recently purchased from 7. j. Garri-

large number of the books were de-
stroyed. The library was partially
covered by $500 insurance. The
origin of the fire is unknown. The
fact that many people living within

REVOLUTIONARY DAUGHTERS
Spend Delightful Evening and Listen
to Eloquent Address.

The D. A R. chapter gave their
friends very pleasant and instruc-
tive evening on Monday night. Last
year Mr.. Lally addressed the ladies
upon the Irish in America and this
year Judge Conner was invited to
address the chapter. He chose for
his theme Daniel Webster.
The talk by Judge Conner was a
real treat. 1t was not only an
oratorical gem but it was OF real
value as study of the life of one of
American 8 greatest men.
Judge Conner considered him as a
lawyer, salesman and an orator and
drew vivid word picture of his in
tense and masterful life. Those for
tunate enough to be present are of
the opinion that Judge Conner should
deliver this address before larger
audience. The very informality OF
the address added to its charm. while
the information it contained showed
the deep insight of the speaker and
his familiarity with that period of oul
history in which Webster played sc
large part.
Mrs. w T Wright. regent is grace.
full and easy presiding officer and gave
a we'll expressed introduction of the
speaker. Winnifred Wright and Mrs.
Doctor Boyle gave musical numbers
that were much enjoyed as were the
closing solos by Miss Osborne. The
Club room was decorated in the ma.
tional colors with flags in great mum,
bers. Very nice light refreshments
were served. Mrs. Patterson and Mrs
Young pouring coffee at the rount
table which was decorated with white
carnations and candles sticks will

Mrs. S. G. Wright. Mrs. Crippen
Mrs. Cassaday and Miss Marshal
were on the reception committee
and assisted in making all the guest

Denison Winner Scores One Hundred
Per Cent on Examination.

Charles McWllliams of Denison and
B. E McKim of Deloit are to be the
new mail carriers who will commence
their duties on Nov. 10Th. There
were ten Denison contestants and
Chas. McWilliams lead them all,
making the remarkable record of 100
per cent. Mr.. McWilliams has been
a substitute carrier and he will be
able to give his patrons good service
from the start. We understand that
Thos. Clinton and l.. B. Craven were
tied for second place among the Deni-
son candidates. b. E. McKim won
in the examination of Deloit candi-
dates. Route Seven out of Denison
and the new Deloit route will COM.
mence on Nov. 16 at which time
there will also be numerous changes
in the old routes. N. w. Nash, who
has been carrier on Route out of
Denison has asked to be transferred
to Route Seven and his request will
doubtless be granted. so that Nc
Williams will have Route a.
Those living on Route Seven should
hurry up and get their mail boxes
ready for the new service. The Den
ison postmaster has been notified by
the department that no further steps
will be taken toward the establish
ment of City free delivery until the
street signs are up and the houses are
numbered.
The date when this service begins
therefore depends upon the city
officials.
The postal clerks here are rejoicing
over the news that Denison is to have
a cancelling machine. This will not
only be great convenience to the
clerks but it will be benefit to the
public as the mails can be more
quickly handled.
The Denison postoffice is now the
4th largest in the 10th District ir

BOUGHT BIG SAFES.
The Way jay Could ErossAt a. -
press Company to Terms.


Recalling early days in the express
business, an officer of one Of the largest
companies told this story of Jay Gould:
Gould and Fisk then had hold Of
the Erie" he said, land the United
States Express company had all the
express business on the road. The con-
tract was about to expire, and Gould
wanted an arrangement more profita-
bic to the Erie.
1.-The Eries doing all the work and
you're making all the money Gould
said to the express people. You ought
to do some of the work and give the
railroad chance at the money
"The express company officials de-
INJURED. Their profit, they insisted,
was no more than they were entitled
to, and they refused to shade the con-
tract penny. Gould insisted on de-
crease, but they remained obdurate
and eventually let the Erie president
understand-what he very well knew
that no other company would compete
against the United States for the Erie
business. All the companies at that
time were In an agreement to maintain
rates.
"All right said Gould at the concfu-
sion of the interview, you've no objec-
ton, l guess, to my going into the ex-
press business for myself. 1t looks
better than railroading.'
1.-THE express people rephed mat
Gould could organize all the companies
he wanted to- They thought it was all
bluff, but things that came to their at
tentior soon weakened their faith in
this idea. Gould was going around
among his associates talking up an ex-
press company scheme, officials Of oth-
er roads We're told that a new company
would be In the field to bid for their
business, and the papers began to talk
about the new Gould express company.
"The express officials, however, saw
none of Gould's money going into the
enterprise and stood pat. Presently 1t
was reported that he had bought twen-
ty-four big express safes. Was this
talk or was 1t business? the express
men asked themselves. They set to
work investigating. and they discover
tAl illll lilt ItIbIl vas tINt. NIOulu Ddu
actually bought and paid for the safes
safes cost money in those days, too
and he was negotiating for all the 9TH
er equipment required.
NOW thoroughly convinced of
Gould's sincerity, the express company
came to terms. Gould got the best con-
tract from n railroad standpoint that
had been known up to that time The
clause in the contract that the United
States Express company considered
most valuable to itself was one stipu-
lating the abandonment of Gould's ex-
press plans.
''It was all bluff on Gould's part
except buying the safes. For that mat
ter the purchase was, of course, part Of
the bluff, but Gould had actually
bought and paid for them uncondition-
ally. Nevertheless he lost nothing on
( the deal, for as soon as friendly rela-
tions were established with the express
officials he persuaded them they could
use the safes In their business and sold
them at little better than COST

"They must be arranged alphabet

our R.IIions of ANCESTORS.

Has anybody ever stopped to think
how many male and female ancestors
It took to bring us into the worldf
First, of course, 1t was necessary to
have father and mother, and our IA
ther and mother must have had ia
ther and mother, and so on back to the
time of Christ. A careful calculation
of all these ancestors shows that there
must have been 1876, ,235, OF, ,4S9, ,534, ,970
births to bring one of us into the
world And this Is only from the time
Of Christ and not from the beginning
of the world. According to one author
ity, If from single couple for 5000
years each husband and wife had mar
ried at the age Of twenty-one and there
had been no deaths the population Of
the earth would be 2,199,915, followed
by IA ciphers. To hold such popula-
ton 1t would take several worlds tho
size Of ours.
