Miss Della Hall ret,,rna,

Miss Della Hall returned last week
from visit with Mr.. TAYLOR Nixon
at his home near Armour S. D.. She
tells US that Mr.. Nixon and family
are doing finely. have had good crops
and are thoroughly in love wild the
country. To prove the quality of
the crops Miss Hall brought Us two
ears of splendid corn raised on Mr..
Nelson's place. We will have to
admit that Crawford county cannot
do much better.

resident Roosevelt is meeting the
e of all men who lead a strenuous
e and try I'd do things in this world.
le tremendous energy which he put
to the effort to pass railroad
eight bill through congress made
m many enemies who are but watch
: for weak points in his policies
tn a view to humiliate him when
II possible. The opportunity came
lar as congress is concerned with
the opening of the session and thus
far the president has had to acknow-
ledge that he must retreat from var
ious proposed courses of action. Let
US note few Of the minor troubles
which have confronted him:
First. can be mentioned the failure
to promptly confirm certain nomina-
tions which were sent in Immediately
on the opening of congress. It is
customary for congress to meet and
formally organizing send committee
to wait on the president informing
him Of the fact that the legislative
branch Of the government is ready
for business and awaits any commune
cation which he may have to make.
From the press reports we gather
that before this committee had been
named there came a communication
from President Roosevelt nominating
four men to positions in his cabinet.
Mr.. Moody Of Massachusetts, as
Judge of the u. S. supreme court.
and q man to take the place of one
who had not yet resigned in an east
ern district. The opponents Of the
president in the senate were quick to
see that custom and even the right
of things had been violated. 1t was
promptly shown that it was not pro-
per to nominate Judge to fill va
cancy which did not exist for the
Judge in the eastern district was ir
for life and need not resign for many
years, ard although he might have
said he would. had the power te
change his mind. In the case of NOM
mating Mr.. Cortelyou to be secretary
of the treasury no time was set fol

ADVERTISING "A ToWN,

Every village Of any pretentlon
seeks to hold the good will and APP
probation of it's patrons. Many
different institutions have been made
use of from time to time in the way
of entertainment and instruction.
such as Country Fairs. Street Fairs,
Reunions. Carnivais. Etc. These have
each sufficed for while but it seems
now that we are to be introduced to
the latest and for us the best insti-
tuition yet offered TO the patrons of any
town. Our citizens, many of them at
least, know already much about the
Chautauqua in the minds Of many the
question has already arisen. Why
can we not have Chautauqua in
Denison? AS an advertisement to
our town alone it will pay better than
any.other expenditure we could make
of the same amount Of money. The
time has come when the patrons of
Ia town look to that town for some
kind OF entertainment each. year.
Why may we not without assuming
any greater risk than usual bring to
our town for our families as we'll as
our patrons this modern institution,
an up-to-date Chautauqua.

non-partisan judges take the earliest
opportunity o.. accepting the challenge,
and the s25 to be donated tn the
charity fund will be on deposit at the
Bank of Denison for you to cover any
minute that you are ready. The
stipulation is hereby made that bona

THE REVIEWS REPLY.
To Mr.. Caswell's proposition we
made the following reply:
Dec. %. 1906.
Editor Bulletin.
Dear Sir: In compliance with
your note have already deposited my
check for $25. with the Bank of Dem
ison. and l stand ready to file my
certified list and appoint my Judge
as soon as l am notified that the
terms Of the wager as offered by the
Review are accepted. 1t is entirely
within the province of the Judges to
determine who are and who are not
legally to be classed as bona fde sub
scribers. that is what the Judges are
for.
Respectfully.
F. w. Meyers.
Bulletin Is Silent.
Up to date we have heard nothing
more of the wager. Our money is on
deposit at the Bank of Denison and
our certified list remains on file there.
should Mr.. Caswell accept the fair
conditions laid down by the Review
we are ready at any moment to go on
with the contest. We have no idea
however that the Bulletin intends to
go on with the matter. 1t knows that
lit is beaten and is afraid to abide bv
the decision of any fair minded set
of judges. The stipulations as offer
ed by Mr.. Caswell are absurd and
impossible. For instance. nearly
every year the Bulletin makes an
offer in July or August to send that
paper until Jan. LIST. at reduced
price. Doubtless some have accepted
the offer. have continued to take the
paper and have paid for it from year
to year. According to the Bulletin
these would not even now be regular
subscribers. We have men on our list
who tell us that they commenced as
a trial subscriber twenty years ago

In the weeks that have dragged by
since Christmas the young brioe has
faced the alternative Of death from
shock and blood poisoning OF the pos
sible losing Of her right srm. The
attending physician has thought 1t
might bo necessary to amputats just
below the shoulder In order to save
the girls life.
In the meantime the mystery OF the
unnatural crime dsepens, and there
seams to be no hope Of clearing 1t up
till young Farrell is brought before
the grand jury, and the State AteoE'
ney has produced all the evidence that
be is now carefully gathering.
No case has ever 30 stirred up ehe
people Of Vermont except the famous
affair OF the nbrarian.legislator select
man. burglar Clarence Adams, who
terro,izsd the whole countrywide Of
Chester, was finally caught, impris
oned at Windsor, and then was be,
lieved to have feigned death, o1eps
out OF his coffin and escaped TO Canada,
three OF four years ago.
Some timid folk at Ira even venture
the suggestion that the perpetrstol
Of THE last fendish act In Clarence
Adams, returned to big native State
s7d starting IN on new courss o.
villatnous crime, while masqueradina
as an honest citizan.
In support Of this they point ou
