The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1907-09-04

The Review does not wish to be-
come common scold. but it cannot
refrain from time to time. from
jogging the memory of the directors
of the Denison Improvement Company
as to their duty IN regard to the opera
house.
The funds for this building have
been largely subscribed and there is
good reason to believe that the add
tional funds needed can be raised.
At least. until the effort has been
made there is no reason to abandon
the PROJECT. The awful paralysis
which seems to have struck the new
hotel building which is dragging on
at sna,l's pace. should be warning
that if the opera house is to be built
in single season as it should be. the
work must be commenced early in the
wear. The plans must be selected
this fall. the advertisement for bids
must be made and the contract award
ed by January first. There is no OBJ
iect in waiting until the hotel is COM
pleted. From present indications.
few of us will live to see that accom-
plished. If we want the new opera
house ready for the fall of next year
the preliminary steps must be taken.
The board of directors of the Den
ison Improvement Company contain:
some of the very best business men O.
Denison. There are men who hav'
made successes of their own undertak
ings. They are competent. capable
men. it they were about to build al
opera house. any one of them. TO
their own ownership. it would b.
completed by next fall. But becaus
it is semi-public institution. it i
allowed to languish and these sam
business men. who would not brool
delay or defeat if the undertaking wa
their own. dilly-dally about the wor
until they invite criticism.
If any one man ON the board O
directors had been building the hote
it would have been well-nigh read
for occupancy by this time. 1t will
be late next spring before it is ready

 Two weeks ago Mrs. Palumbier was taken i'll, but it was not serious at first and all of her numerous friends soon expected to see her in her shop again. But she did not return, and yesterday the word spread through Oliver street that she never would

Was He Horsing Him?

There is member of Congress iron a Southwestern state who is pretty wei known in Washington for his delight in the pleasures of the table. Partic ularly is he fond of roasted ears of corn a delicacy he never omits an opportun ity to indulge in.
 On one occasion, so runs the story the Congressman was in a restaurant in Texas, when the waiter placed upon the table a plateful of the dish men tioned. The statesman proceeded to help himself.
 When he. had consumed the fourth ear of corn, he noticed that a man across the table was eyeing him most curiously. Thinking that some explau9- tion was necessary the representative good-naturedly informed the stranger that roasted corn was one of the most nutritious and palatable of foods. Then he gathered unto himself a fifth ear, which he devoured with great relish.
 The man across the table could stand it no longer
 "My friend" he suggested, "don t you think you could save about a dollar and half day if you were to board at a livery stable2'

DEATH CERTIFICATE FOR JOIN
 TURF

Secretary Garfield s recent visit to Arizona has borne fruitful results, es- pecially for Arizona, according to yes terday's dispatch to the effect that President Roosevelt has given up hope of making one state of New Mexico and Arizona Thus fades away the dream of the iointists with its false promises of great political reward for the faithful-faithful to their own self ish desires rather than to the land in which they lived But few loyal citi- zens of Arizona wished to see this great and prosperous territory united with New Mexico and these few, with one or two exceptions, were misled
 Even in New Mexico the best element of citizenship did not desire to see that old commonwealth lose its identity. Nor did the grafting gang that has controlled the destinies of the sister territory care to see the merger, because it would have meant the end of graft there, but rather than lose favor with the administration, they made it ap- pear that they were eager for jointure
 The Silver Belt has ever since the election last year held that there was no longer joint statehood issue; that the scheme was as dead as the prover- bial doornail, knowing that the presi- dent and his advisers had been duped as to conditions in the southwest, and that eventually he would learn the true state of affairs from some disinterested party whose judgment could be relied upon. We are not overwhelmed with gratitude toward the president for his decision, because it was forced upon him. Nor is great credit due the secre- tary of the interior for seeing what any blind man could feel--the almost abso- lute unanimity of sentiment in Arizona against iOint statehood

 "An American traveller found in 2 cafe at Rotterdam a Dutchman who had been about bit and who spoke English perfectly well.
 "This Dutchman was smoking China pipe of remarkable size and beauty, and the American, as an admirer and collector of such bric-a-brac, took the liberty to comment upon it.
 You could not stumble upon 2 pipe like that every day. said the American.
 "The Dutchman took three or four whiffs at the pipe, and then slowly re- moved it from his mouth.

 A recently enacted statute seeks tC prevent executive departments from in. curing deficiencies, and if this holds good in the ease of the Panama canal less work will be done than it is pos sible to do. It is not the intention of the department to seek the advice of Attorney General Bonaparte, whose con. struetion of the law, Secretary Taft has declared, "leads to absurdity," but to refer the matter to Richard R. Rogers, the attorney for the commission, and have him pass on the question:,

Mountaineers Seek Strange Creature

| There has just started from James
 town, Va, an expedition headed by
 several veteran mountaineers, having
 for its object the investigation of a weird tale regarding snake woman
 who, it is alleged, frequents the wild parts of the mOonshine country. This strange creature, who, several witness cs have declared. resembles reptile as much as a woman, will be captured if it is possible for the members of the ex- petition to catch glimpse of her. A mountaineer on a visit to Jamestown last week brought the first story of the snake woman, and claimed to be one of the very few people who had actually seen her.
 For years, he stated, tales of q wild woman with the skin of a snake, who travelled upon the ground like reptile and subsisted on living prey, have been told, but these tales were generally re- garded as idle rumors. Stone Colby, grizzled mountaineer who visited the exposition, however, declares that the stories, instead of being exaggerated, only tell half the truth about the strange woman. It was he who made the offer to lead the expedition to the place where the woman lives.
 According to Stone, the snake woman is about 9 years of age, and in pyhs- ical conformation and habits so closely approaches the reptile species that she might he regarded as the missing link between it and the human race. Stone declares that she is more like snake than like woman. He has never seen her assume an erect position. Covered with the sealy skin of a snake, and shedding it regularly twice year in one piece the snake woman glides among the trees and rocks in search of small animals, mice, frogs, ground squirrels and other forest and swamp prey, which Stone has seen her eat alive, swallowing them like a reptile, without mastication.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Grateful Parent

A New York man enjoys repeating q story he claims to have had from enc of the life guards at Atlantic City.
 Ii apears that not long ago a Phil adelphia man and his nine year old son were at the end of one of the piers gazing over the rail at the ocean when suddenly the lad leaning over too far, tumbled into the water. The life-guards were just then at quite distance from the scene of the accident; so another man on the pier, without waiting to divest himself of either coat or shoes, plunged into the sea, and after buffet ing with the waves for some time sue ceeded in getting the half drowned boy to the beach, whither in the meantime the father had hastened from the pier
 The parent took the affair very cooly As the self appointed rescuer set the dripping boy at his fathers feet, the latter inquired:
 "Thank you; but what have you done with his hat?'

COL0RED EDITOR
 ALMOST LYNCHED

J. D. Uzzell, the eolored editor wh is held responsible for much of tn recent race trouble on the eastern shor of Virginia, was brought here unde strong guard today and locked up in tn Norfolk jail, says q dispatch from Nol folk.
 Uzzell surrendered to Colonel Noting ham of the Virginia militia at Oman cock, Monday, and asked to be sent | safe place, there being great dange that he would be lynched.
 ONANCOCK, Va, August 20.--J. ! Uzzell, the editor of the negro news paper here, who has been in hidinj since the outbreak of the night of tn 10th, was escorted to Onley depot, thre miles from here, this morning, guarde, by forty soldiers.
 Uzzen is charged with being one O the men who fired into the mail wagon carrying the three white men and white woman on the night of the dis turbance.
 Surrenders to Soldiers
 Yesterday morning about 'clocl he walked into Onancock and was bel, up by squad of soldiers patrolling th, street. He promptly gave his name and said he was looking for the proper person to whom to surrender. He wa, put in Jail immediately, and his arrest kept secret.
 This town is entirely quiet, but ther, was some fear that white people iron outside might make an attempt al lynching if it was known that Uzzel was in jail. Early this morning he wa. taken to Onley, put on train and sent to Norfolk for safe keeping.
 Escorted Out of Town
 A detachment of nine men in diamond formation acted as an advance guard and Uzzell was surrounded by the main body of the troops. There was not the slightest sign of trouble. 1t is not un. likely that the others implicated will slip in some night, encouraged by Uz. zell s experience, and surrender to the troops.
 The evidence against them is direct It is entirely that of negroes who say they were present when the shooting was done. Both the white man that  was shot by Uzzell in the street here and the negro that was hit by stray load of buckshot when the white men in the carriage were fired on, are recov- ering.
 Probably the troops will be kept here through next week, when the negro fair at Tasley is scheduled to be held. It is not known whether this fair will open. Burton is president and Conquest is sec retary of the association, and their ab- senee may prevent it.
