HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.


the High School visit Tuesday Of
last week.
Both the girls and boys basket
ball teams from the West Side High
School will come to Denison Friday to
play with our girls and boys. The
West Side teams are excellent and we
will guarantee fine games.
The Latin class has been working
like Roman slaves on their play. Miss
Barber deserves much credit for the
excellent play she has gotten up for
the buying of pictures to decorate the
Latin room. She has put all the time
and energy she could spare on it. All
the members are doing their parts to
make it a success
just as soon as the Latin play has
been given the members of the G class
will start to get their program ready
to be given some time this spring. 1t
was to have been given Christmas but
on account of examinations it had to
be postponed.
The team that will debate with Vail,
which is composed of Lydia Belle
kuehnle, Roland Philbrook and Oliver
Saul. went down to Missouri Valley
to get points for their debate.
There will be program given by
the pupils OF the grades below the
High school, at the Opera House on
Saturday. at 7:45 sharp. There will
be no canvass for the sale of tickets
The Denison High School debating
team lost to Missouri Valley Friday
evening. The question was Resolv-
ed. That American cities should seek
the solution of the street railway pro-
blem through private ownership. Den
ison had the negative. and defended
it splendidly. but the Missori Valley
debaters had more experience in de-
batting. and won out. Grace Bamford,
Williams Harding and Clarence
Schooley made up the team with
Oliver Saul alternate. Missouri Val
ley certainly nows how to entertain
visitors. The debate will be held in
Denison next year.
The Girls Basket Ball team paved
an interesting game at Missouri Val
ley Friday afternoon. Although the
score stood 20 to "a against them at
the end Of the game. the girls have
every reason to be satisfied. The
Denison team was handicapped some
what by the low ceiling which made
it very difficult to throw fouls. and
then too they had not been playing
with lines. The team work of the
Denison- girls was easily the feature
of the game. Following is Denison' s
line up. Forwards: VERNE Kuhl and
Addie Luney. Centers: Pearl Wilson
and Birdie Berg. Guards: Clara
SERVER and Erma Naeve. Missouri
Valley will play return game here
in about three weeks.

REBUILDING COMMENCED
Work on the Laub Block Has Com
menced in Earnest

The scaffoldings are being erected
this week for the work on the Laub
block. They are we'll constructed and
are intended to shield the stores and
passers-by from all harm during the
work of reconstruction. Several
thousand dollars are to be expended
by the owners in this work. The
foundations are to be rebuilt where
ever necessary. the old soft brick are
to be taken down and veneer of
pressed brick will replace the old
front This will make much better
appearance but it is a matter OF
general regret that the old building is
not to be superseded by an entirely
new and modern structure. 1t is not
thought that the rebuilding will
greatly interfere with the merchants
now occupying the block.

EDITORIAL CONVENTION.

The editorial meeting at Rockwell
City last week was one of the best
the newspaper men of Iowa have ever
held. The attendance was large and
the men gathered there would have
been credit to any profession. They
were as well-dressed. as bright and
as business looking as convention
of bankers might have been. Harvey
Ingham and LATE Young were the
"stars" of the occasion. Rockwell
City did itself proud. 1t certainly is
as lively little town as there is in
the state. Each year they can from

corn. They have gas plant and

which seem to be doing we'll. Elmer

honors with great grace. The banquet
at the new hotel was something to be
remembered and made us long for the
day when we could again invite the
editors to Denison. to hold their meet
ings in the new opera house and their
banquet in the new hotel. G. L. Cas-
we'll presided over the meeting with
dignity and enough of humor to make
things run smoothly.
The convention showed the transit
ton from the old newspaper days to
the new ones. We can remember
when the editors were chiefly noted as
editorial writers. Each man stood for
something and was rated by his fellows
on account of his standing in the ed
itorial field. To-day the editorial is
to large extent back number. Ed
itors are more properly called new
spaper men to-day. The talk was of
advertising and subscription and rates
and business. We are not criticsing,
for at least this attention to business
has made the editors more independ-
ent. They are no longer the long
haired. poverty-stricken drudges Of
the early day. but brisk, up-to-d date

MARRIED IN ARGENTINE
Denison Couple Unite Fortunes in
6uenos Ares and Sail for Europe.

A romantic wedding took place at
Buenos Aires. Argentine Republic on
March 5th. when Miss Matte Miles
and Mr.. Latham Adelbert Jones were
united in the holy bonds OF matrimony.
After the ceremony they took ship
across the Atlantic and it is under
stood that they will visit London,
!. Paris and other European cities be-
fore returning to America.
The groom is the brother of M. E.
Jones of this city and made his home
here a number of wears ago. He
finally went west and drifted into the
Klondike country where it is under
stood that he made comfortable
fortune. The bride is sister of Mrs.
M. E. Jones and is very we'll known
as one of Denison's most lovely and
talented daughters. She developed a
great deal of artistic talent. earned q
large reputation in Chicago as 9
painter of miniatures, studied in the
ateliers of Paris and finally went &c
Argentine where for several years she
has been the leading art teacher Of
Buenos Aires. About year ago Miss
Miles revisited Denison and soor
after Mr.. Jones returned from the
Klondike. The two had been old
sweet-hearts and the story is that the
acquaintance was renewed. Miss
Miles returned to Buenos Aires anc
Mr.. Jones after a short visit left
Denison. 1t was not known what wa:
his destination. but it now appears
that Cupid lead him across the waves
and the marriage was the result. The
Review but voices the sentiment of
all when it wishes long life. happi,
ness and prosperity to this splendid
couple.

TEACHERS MEET
Continued from Page One.)

Continued from Page One.)
Affairs twas taken care of by Pre-
fessor Van Ness, when the meeting
adjourned to August 18th. 1907.
The concensus of opinion of the
teachers was that this meeting must
prove very instructive to those who
really wish to progress. while the
presence of seven school directors
shows slight awakening on the part
of school officers. One year ago a
special invitation was sent to every
director in the county. and one lone
director responded. Mr.. Dieter. The
writer wishes people to remember Mr..
Dieter. he is all right.
The Resolutions.
Resolutions passed by the teachers
of Crawford County assembled in an
nual convention. March 18th, 1907. at
Denison Crawford County, Iowa.
Whereas-There were in Crawford
County two schools closed during the
winter term because of shortage of
teachers and the quitting of Is teach
er this spring fortells shortage of
from Is to Is to fill the schools for
the spring term, and goodly number
signifying their intention of quit
ing this summer fortells even
greater shortage for next year.
And Whereas-There are in Craw-
ford County at the present time seven
schools vacant for want Of pupils.
nine whose average attendance is less
than five and tifty-nine whose aver
age attendance is less than ten, there
fore be it resolved.
| First. that. since we believe the
shortage of teachers to be result of
combination of causes chief among
which are. first. low wages paid to
teachers as compared to all other pro-
fessions of equal or inferior rank.
Second-Lack of Accommodations in
regard to board etc.. and the neglect
of proper courtesies to the teachers in
many districts-a general raising of
wages and more considerate treat
ment of teachers is the only effective
and permanent means of remedying
this shortage of teachers.
Third, that. questioning the wis
dom and economy of maintaining
schools where the enrolment is less
than ten. we recommend the temper
airy closing OF all such schools trans
porting the pupils where necessary to
the neighboring schools. and raising
the teachers salaries so that S45 for
first. $40. for second and S38. for
third, shall be the lowest wages re-
ceived by all rural teachers in Craw-
ford County.
Fourth-That. we shall recommend
a nine month school or eight months
with the same annual salary as for
nine month year.
Fifth-That. the teachers be allow
ed the same holidays as the Govern
menr employees.
And, be it further resolved that we
as teachers and educators cooperate
in every possible way with the school
officers of Crawford county in putting
the above recommendations into early
and successful operation.
Signed by the teachers special COM
mittee and approved by the teachers

40 years of age, with a wife and sew
eral children, shot to death Mrs.
Laura Ray, proprietress of the "Suc-
cess Inn" large boarding house of
this city, and then turned the weapon
on himself and sent three bullets int }
his heart. The only motive that can be
assigned for the murderer fearful
act was debt due him by Mrs. Rag

effects of drink. The double tragedy
was committed in Mrs. Rays room in
the Success Inn. Murdock fred eight
shots in all, taking time after send

gre-s along all lines.
r. letter to the Progressive Farm
er. referring to the approaching State
meeting, Mr. George +. Parrott, Of
Kia-tou, president of the organiza-
ton says:
With no little pleasure we look
forward to next Tuesday, August
18th, the annual meeting day for the
State Alliance. We hope that every
county in which there is an organiza-
liou Will be fully represented and that
each delegate will have something 10
suggest for the good of the order
and for the good of mankind.
No well Informed man who has
,ac proper regard for truth will de-
clare that the Alliance stands for any
thing other than for the scattering of
peace and prosperity all over this
laui Of ours. Our purpose is to build
up. not to destroy; we antagonize
poverty and strife among men; moth
Iuy more.
"Our meeting will be a very i'm
porlant one. We will probably dis.
crlss with view to some action the
buying Of wrapping for our next cot
ton crop; also the marketing of our
cotton as well as the attitude of the
American Tobacco Company toward
cultivation of tobacco.
Let delegates at their leisure
note just what suggestions they wish
to offer, also any specific matter whicl
they are instructed by their Count :,
Alliance to bring before the Stat'
meeting.
Again let me urge delegates to bs

Shot Wife in Cold Blood.

Selma, Special. Ransom Goodwin
a well-to-do white farmer, 65 years
old at his home five miles west Of
Kenly a small and remote place in
Johnston County, shot and killed his
wife without any real cause for the
deed, so those who know the family
say. She was his third wife he hav-
ing married her about four years ago.
From the union two children survive
their mother. Mrs. Goodwin was 3o
years of age. Shortly after the mar
riage of the couple the husband began
to drink and kept it up till his treat
ment of his wife became extremely
cruel. Tuesday night he came home
drunk and beat Mrs. Goodwin with
a stick till she was nearly unconscious
Wednesday night he came home again
in the same condition. When he
reached the house he called his wife
to come to the door and just as she
stepped into the light where he could
get a plain view of her he shot her
down in cold blood.

Washington, Speeial.-Naval cir

redoubtable "Dreadnought. 1t Is

conditions become known, but the
British government feels that 1t :

fact that the British navy is thereby
kept at least two years ahead OF
any other navy in point of design,

quently obsolete in the course of fivs
years after going into commission.
1t is understood that the new ship
is to be of no less than 10000 tons
displacement, against 10000 tons OF
the Dreadnought, but aside from the
mere matter of superior size, the, de-
sign is believed to include many nov
elites some based on the experience
of the Dreadnought. Such one, for
instance, is understood to be the con-
templated assembling of three guns
in each turret, so that if the new ship
is equallcd with the six tsurets, she
will carry no less than Is guns i'll
her main battery. The calibre of the
guns, however, will, it is believed, re-
main at II inches, the present stand

The report of the British plan has
caused some of the bolder designers
to proceed to greater length and tc
propose the laying down of battle
ship of 10000 tons displacement
placing the American navy clearly III
the lead. Naval designers are be-
licved to be willing to undertake the
construction Of such ship. 1t would
cost no less than $20O00,000, but ii

proposition that such a ship woulc
be an economical investment by tend

Decide for Pilots.

Wilmington, Special. Judge J.

late term of New Hanover Superior
court, and who, the past week, heard
the suit to test the constitutionality
of the compulsory pilotage law, APP
plying to the Cape Fear bar, which
law was recently passed by the Gen
cral Assembly after a fight on the
floor of both houses, on Saturday rem
dered his decision, holding the law
constitutional and valid This decis-
ion of course is in favor Of the pilots
and will be appealed to the Supreme
court of the State, and perhaps later
to the Supreme Court Of the Unitel
States. The findings of Judge Biggs
are brief and are written after mature
deliberation, knowing that in either
event they would be reviewed by the
highest court in the land. On every
point the law is construed in favor
of the pilots.
