BIG CROWDS ATTEND.
Trial of Hassan Boys Proves
Interesting. -
MANY LADIES ARE PRESENT
Evidence of State Not Completed and
Trial Will Last All The Week.

The trial of Joseph and Solomon
Hassan on the charge of numbering
Fred Nawfi is proving most interest
ing case aver brought before the
courts of Crawford county. The
court room is crowded at every ses-
sion and glance at the auditorium
makes one wonder whether he is at a
caucus or an afternoon tea.
To the Hassans and their father.
and to the attorneys who are battling
to their uttermost. the case is very
serious affair. Up to this time the
state has been introducing it's evil
dence and nothing on behalf of the
defense has been heard. The lega,
hattie is stubborn one. every bit of
testimony being the subject of contro-
versy. Up to date the testimony fol-
lows quite closely the line of testi-
mony given before the justice of the
peace.
1t is not good newspapering and
it is not enterprising. but in as much
as mems lives are at stake the Re-
view thinks best not to publish de-
tails of the testimony until the case
has been decided. At least fifty wit
nesses will be examined by the State
and the number of witnesses to be
called by the defense is not known.
Judge Powers is doing all he can
to expedite the case. Court will con-
vene this week at a. m. and night
sessions will probably be held also.
1t is hardly probable this case will be
completed this week.
Other Court Matters
Last evening the grand jury
brought in FIVE indictments. They
were all for selling liquor to minors
and were against the Militaerische
Bruederschaft. and all the salon keep
ers of Denison except !. c. McCar-
thy.
1t is alleged that beer was sold to
minors at the Bruderschaft dance last
month. and that on the morning fol-
lowing four minors secured liquors
at four Of the Denison saloons. Az
the Bruederschaft has no license any
liquor sale made by it would be H.

HAVE FINE OPENING
The Bale -Broderson Opening
Attracts Many Visitors.

The fall opening days of the Bale
Brodersen Co.. attracted not only all
the ladies of Denison but every town
within radius of twenty-five miles
was represented in the throng of
shoppers. The store was made beau
tiful from top to bottom. The show
windows were triumphs of Otto
Moenk' S skill and each show case was
arranged to the best advantage. The
millinery department was in its glory
and Miss Schumacher pronounces this
the most successful fall opening the
store has known. The beautiful new
goods were tastefully displayed and
one could hardly resist buying.
Mrs. Silleto had charge Of the coffee
and many hundreds were served dur
ing the opening days.

ENJOY GOOD MUSIC.
Five Bands Make Denison a
Lively Place.
kEARNEY IS THE LEADER
jefferson Band Master Proves Fine
Instructor for United Band

The Band Carnival drew but four
bands to Denison and while they made
excellent music there was much di>ap-
pointment expressed by those who had
been led to believe that something
like fifteen bands were to be in at
tendance. The tournament attracted
many people to the city and they en-
joyed the music. but for the most part
they refused to go into tent and
pay quarter for what they could
hear. if anything little better on the
outside. For this reason the receipts
were very light and the business men
who guaranteed their expenses will
nave tu put up in the neighborhood of
$10U to make up the deficit. Dances
were given on Monday and Tuesday
nights and these netted something
less than 500. In some way Denison
failed to appreciate the opportunity to
make the carnival big thing and it
was something of disappointment.
not only to the spectators but to the
musicians.
Prof. Kearney of Jefferson proved
an efficient leader OF the consolidated
band which numbered nearly 100
pieces. He was reelected for the
coming year and Jefferson was select
ed as the next meeting place. Nearly
all the work of the carnival was
thrown upon few and while they did
their best the carnival did not come
up to expectations. The bands and
their leaders were as follows: Jeffer-
son. Prof. John Kearnev: Scranton.
Prof. Moss; Glidden. Prof. Epperlv
West Side Prof. Dohse Denison q.

YOUR CHANCE TO HELP
German Methodists Would Pay Debt
BY Lecture.

themselves without asking much as
sistance from anyone They have
built fine church edifce which is a
credit to the city. The remaining

quent and gifted lecturers of Iowa

admission price.

legal. We understand that the saloon
men expect to plead guilty. although
they maintain that they endeavor to
obey the law and that the sales were
made by bartenders against the in
structions of the proprietors. The
sal6oos will doubtless be fined and
they will probably be more careful in
the future.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov 14.-Congress-
man ]. A. T. Hull, chairman of the
house committee on military affairs,
said Wednesday after returning from
Washington where he had confer
ence with the president:
president Roosevelt will be renom-

years more. Bryan will be the NOM
inee of the democrats and the country

tory. The trend Of public sentiment
is all to Roosevelt, although the sit
uation will be complicated If Hughes

With Roosevelt out of the race Speak
err Cannon stands as good a chance
for the nomination as any one"

Washington, Nov. 13.-Estimates of
appropriations aggregating $23,461,9 1l
are made by Gen. Alexander MacKen-
zie, chief engineer of the army, for

Gen. MacKenzie's report deals also
with the question Of the Improvement

Inmates aggregating over S27OOO,OOO
for the fiscal year 1909 which will be
included by Secretary Taft in his re-
port to congress. These are made up
as follows:
For continuing work already begun,
$25 ,744; Mississippi river commits
sion for carrying on works under its
charge, $2,OO0,OO0; expenses of Cali
fornia debris commission, s15,000,000;

At the last session Of congress river

passed carrying a large amount Of
money and authorizing the War de-
partment to enter into contracts for
various projects. Because of the i'm
probability of any legislation of that

except to make appropriations for
carrying on work already authorized
and contracted for, Gen. Mackenzie
does not submit any estimates for new
projects.

A FAIR TRIAL FOR POWERS.
An impassioned Appeal BY His At
torney Brings Out Statement
From the Judge.

third day of Caleb Powers trial
opened Wednesday with increased at
tendance and interest. The first move
of the defense was the filing OF three
important dispositions in support OF
the avowal bearing on the validity NJ
Taylor's claims to the governorship,
making good his pardon issued to
Powers.
Attorney s. M. Wilson made an inn
FASHIONED appeal which took the body
of spectators by storm and so moved
the judge that his eloquent response
will serve as a local classic. He fol-
lowed the several arguments and mo-
lions and said when the panel shall be
presented IL 1t shows on its face a
discrimination in the selection of We
niremen he will exercise his judicial
right and set aside the panel on his
own motion. He declared: 81 came
here to give this defendant fair and
impartial trial and that l propose to
do. No man can be impartially tried
by partial jury. An impartial t'al
calls for an impartial jury and adj
monish the sheriff and his deputies to
be careful in their selections of We
niremen and to show no discrimina-
ton"

With nuts, and raisins. and fruits,
And a good, stiff batter beat up and

And served with hefty sort of sauce.
And then there's pies,
Like pumpkin, and mince, and apple
And sometimes one or two more.
For a finish we always have walnuts
And a glass of cider or two.
Now I'm tellin' you
When you get outside Of that there
