THEY SCORED A HIT
Denison Band Boys do Very Well in
Concert Work

The concert given by the Denison
Commercial Band last week was we'll
attended and Thoroughly enjoyed. I'm
der the leadership of G. C. Gregg
the boys show marked improvement
over last year and have gotten to be
an organization of which Denison can
be proud. In fact they surprised all
by the improvement shown and gained
many plaudits from their friends and
admirers. Mr.. Gregg has had the
difficult task of maintaining the in
terest during the winter months and
the band has passed through the or
deal remarkably we'll. We believe
that before the season is over the
Denison Band viii! rank we'll indeed
with the bands of western Iowa. The
program was excellent throughout.
Perhaps the most popular selection
proved to be "Good Old Uncle Sam. :"
to which the boys were obliged to
respond with an encore. Mrs. Lou
Gulick Martyr gave a beautiful So
prano solo fairly eXcelling herself in
the rendition of the difficult music.
Miss Sewell proved as popular as
ever with her Denison auditors and
her selection was vigorously encored.
Miss Schlumberger gave an excellent
reading on short notice. Her memory
failed her but like the plucky girl she
is; she made second appearance and
came out with flying colors. The con-
cert proved that Denison has real
band. capable of furnishing good
music for any occasion and it should
receive the continued support of the
community. The receipts were not
sufficient for the purchase of new uni
forms but 1T is thought that the de-
sired amount can be made up by those
interested and that Denison can have
a finely uniformed band this summer.
The boys propose giving series of
open air concerts as soon as the
weather will permit and they will
thus add largely to the enjoyment of
the summer season.

DEATH OF A LITTLE BOY.

Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Messenbrink
have been called upon to lose their
dear little five year old boy. Marvin.
He had been sick for some time. The
physicians.decided he had appendicitis
and that his chances of recovery
were small. Three medical men came
to this conclusion, but it was thought
that may be an operation would save
him. This was performed. the boy
died. The funeral will be at the
Lutheran church IN this city on Thurs
day at 2:30 q. m. We feel sorry in
deed to chronicle the death of the
litr,e fellow. to whom life with its
possibilities was just opening up. and
who was so beloved by his parents.

TRIUMPH FOR DENIsoN
Our High School Chosen as One of
the Best in the State

Supt. of Schools Fellows. our school
board. and the people of Denison
general are to be congratulated on the
distinction given the High School of
Denison on being one of the thirty
selected in Iowa as worthy to be &C.
credited by the North Central Asso-
citation of colleges and secondary
schools. When one considers that in
the state there are fully 200 so call
ed high schools it can be seen what
it means to be in the chosen list.
Among the qualifications for selection
are that high school possesses or
ganization. a teaching force of not
fever than four teachers exclusive of
the superintendent, laboratory and
library facilities. buildings which in
sure healthful conditions for pupils
and teachers. that the teaching per-
iods shall not be less than forty min
utes. 1t is a signal triumph fer the
Denison high schoul to be classed with
the thirty best of the state, and our
people should appreciate the men who
have made this possible.

a GOOD SUGGESTION.

Prof.C. e. Humphries should be
given credit for splendid suggestion
in connection with the old opera house
building. He thinks that the school
board should buy the building and
move it to the High School grounds
The basement could be devoted to
manual training purposes and would
relieve the high school building. Civ
ing much needed room to the kinder
garten department. The opera house
building. he thinks, is admirably
adapted for gymnasium. This is one
of the greatest needs of our schools.
A sound mind in sound body" is
the motto of advanced education today
and it should be. If the boys and girls
are given this building for gymnasium
it would do very much toward max
ing them strong and healthy. Prof.
HUMPHREYS points out that the gallery
could easily be made into a fine run
ming track and that the room has the
desired height for good gymnasium.
There is plenty Of room on the high
school grounds. and although it
might cost considerable to move the
old building, it would be much cheap
er than the erection of new build
ing. For our part we think this an
admirable suggestion and one worthy
the attention of the school board and
of the directors of the Improvement
Company.

THE FlREMEN's BALL.

The Flremen's Ball takes place at
the Opera House tonight. In some
cities these balls are the events of the
season, and they should be made so
here. There is not property owner
in the city who is not interested in the
efficiency of the fire department., and
the only way to maintain the high
standard is to encourage the young
men to keep in training and to be ready
for emergencies. No city ever had
more courageous volunteer fire depart
ment than Denison has, and while we
have been extremely fortunate in not
having serious CONGREGATIONS, there
is no certainty but that we will have at
any time, 1t is to the interest of all,
therefore, to maintain the effectiveness
of the fire fighters. Ii you can not

showed that the perfect way of life
is to be attained by living in obedience
with the fundamental laws of our be-
irg. To observe Gods law. in other
words, the way of truth is to attain to
a perfected and a triumphant life. We
have made of "a good deal of the law
as revealed to us in the Bible link
in a philosophical chain. Christ showed
us that it was the pathway of a per-
feet and happy and a victorious life,
and such a life can be found in no other
way.
"And then again, in the discovery of
Christ, Philip found the one of whom
the prophets, seers and dreamers had
spoken. All the dreams and visions of
the Hebrew prophets were of happy
and a successful life life lived in har-
mony with the laws of our entire being.
They treated of things as mundane as the
earthly home, and the ordering of human
life and the making of an ideal govern
ment. Christ came presenting to the
world the unit of the perfect life, and the
ideal social structure. He fulfilled the
law, and he realized the dream. To find
Christ is to follow in his footsteps. to
1--we in harmony with the great laws of
our being, to feel the overshadowing
presence of the Creator, and to bring our
dreams of a better life down out of the
clouds of fancy and idealization, until
they have actual being in our daily life.
To find him thus for ourselves. and to.
give him to the world. this is the divine
mission of mankind"

STUPID MELoDRAMA is
"MILLIoNAIRE's REVENGE"

There js no excuse for "a Million
aires Revenge" this weeks offering at
the Grand. AS melodrama 1t is
weary, stale, fiat and Improbable. 1t
Is exceedingly talky, the action lags
and the story, what there Is of 1t, Is
presented piecemeal. In fact 1t Is the
worst thing Hal Reid ever has done,
which Is saying much as Reid Is the
author II considerably more than a
score of melodramas, some of them bad,
but none so bad as his latest.
Evidently the playwright kept COM
prehensive scrap book in which he
pasted newspaper accounts Of the
Thaw-White tragedy. The play has
been made by. selecting divers and sun
dry Of these clippings, arranging them
In chronological order and putting their
import into the mouths of the players.
THE unwritten law" moral leper" and
other expressions which received wide
publicity at the time of the Thaw trial
are used in the play, neither wisely nor
well.
: Stanford White-his name Is Stanford
Black in Mr.. Reid's remarkably bad
concoction--is painted as a blackguard
Of the vilest description, while Harry
Thaw, his name changed to Harry Daw,
Is apotheosized as a hero. The un-
written law is vindicated and Thaw's
murderous act Is praised without stint.
Thus the lesson of the melodrama is
not only bad, but dangerous.
There is one thing to be said in favor
Of the playwright. He has carefully
expurgated his work, and the melo-
drama is much less sensational than
the accounts of the tragedy published
in the yellow press. The pie girl Incl
dent is so tame that 1t is funny When
the pie is opened Myrtle Selwyn steps
forth. fully clad in gown that is al
most as we'll known as the young wo-
man herself, SO often has 1t done duty
on the stage of the Grand. Thus, even
those patrons who may go to the Grand
this week in search of shock are
doomed to disappointment.
"A Millionaire's Revenge" is not a
shocker. Neither Is 1t a thriller. 1t is
merely stupid presentation Of story
already old.
In justice to the stock company 1t
must be said that the acting Is much
better than the piece deserves.
