FOR FREE DELIVERY
Denison is Now Entitled To
This Boon
RECEIPTS WERE $1o,28s.l6
For Last Fiscal Year. Interesting Sta
tistics of Mail Weights for July.

While the official accounting has
not yet been made by the Auditor for
the postoffice department. the books
of the Denison office show that the
total receipts for the year ending June
Both. were $40, ,289 16. This is safely
over the $4,000 limit required for the
establishment of free city delivery.
and there is no good reason why Den
ison should not have it during the
course of the next year if it so de-
sires. The only opposition we have
heard to free city delivery has come
from very few merchants who be-
lieve that the people will trade more
it they are compelled to 90 to the
postoffice daily for their mail. The
majority of the merchants favor it
and SO do all the working men and the
ladies of the city. The establishment
of free delivery would mean the en-
ployment of at least two carriers at
good wages and would be great ac-
commodatinn to the people not only
in the delivery but in the collection
of mails to. To very many it would
mean saving of from 81. 90 to 81. 80
for box rent. while the only increased
expense would be that letters for the
city would require two cents postage
instead of one. 1t is required that the
city shall have all house numbered
according to some accepted system
and the streets be named. This is
but small requirement and one easy
of fulfillment. Denison should do
this in any event. 1t will further be
a matter of pride for the people as
free delivery is one of the steps that
marks the progress and growth of any
town. There is but small danger that
Denison will ever fall below the ten

THE NORMAL INSTITUTE.
The Crawford county teachers in

The Crawford county teachers in
stitute convenes at Denison Monday
morning August 18th. at O'clock.
The plan of the institute is materially
changed this year. Instead of it be-
ing a sort of summer school or "cram-
ming school" to get ready for the ex-
animation it is more on the plan of a
big teachers meeting mixed with a
school Of methods and new ideas.
Teachers choose the classes or lessons
they wish to attend. and there are
sessions for all-from primary teacher
to the school principal. The special
classes in drawing. school law. parli-
mentary practice. penmanship. psy
chologv, and all kinds of methods
will be found very attractive and
helpful.
A special feature of this years in
stitute will be the addresses and lect-
ures by DR.. Howerth and Mr.. Search.
Both are men for whom lecture COM
mlttees pay from SIS to slO0 night.
Besides giving one or two addresses a
piece daily to the teachers each gives
two evening addresses. Monday even
ing. Mr.. Search speaks on the sub
ject Music in the Fatherland. I" and
Tuesday evening at the rural COM
mencement exercises he speaks on.
A Twentieth Century Message. {"
DR.. Howerth speaks on Wednesday
and Friday nights.
Special programs of music are ar
ranged to accompany each address.
The citizen of Denlson and school
patrons in general are invited to come
out to hear these evening programs.
They are free to all. Friday after
noon the teachers and their invited
friends have their annual picnic in
the park. No doubt ladies ball
game will be one of the exciting
features.

Popular Denison Man Suffers
From Appendicitis.
WAS OPERATED UPON TODAY
Chances Now Largely In Favor Of
Recovery.-But He Had A
Close Call.

On Monday night Mr.. Eugene Gu
lick was suddenly stricken with Sc
we're attack of appendicitis. His
symptoms ut once became alarming
and physicians and nurses made an all
night struggle for his life in which
they were successful. On Tuesday
Mr.. Gulick rested easier but the
symptoms were still alarming and
there was no decided change for the
better. DR.. Hamilton of Omaha was
called in consultation and this morn
ing an operation was performed at
the City Hospital.
The operation was severe one. a
large section of the intestine as we'll
as the appendix being removed. When
seen after the. operation DR.. Hamilton
said Mr.. Gulick had stood the opera
tion bravely and that the chance 8
were largely in favor of his recovery.
He said that he would not be out of
danger however for the next three
days. His splendid general health
and strong constitution will aid in his
convalescence. Mr.. Gulick returned
last week from Okoboji where his
family was at their summer cottage
and he was taken i'll at the home of
his mothers Mrs. H. S. Gulick.
His symptoms were SO alarming that
Mr.. Voss was reached by telephone
at O'Clock Tuesday morning. Mrs.
Gulick and her daughters Mrs. Voss
and Miss Ethel left at 6 O'Clock in
the morning reaching here in the af-
ternoon. while Mr.. Voss brought the

Talented Young Pastor Resigns To
Accept Call 10 Much Larger
Field.

The congregation of the First Bap.
tist church was almost stunned with

 In some vaudeville houses you may watch @ diversity of performances four hours for so humble a price as ten cents. provided you are willing to sit among the rafters. Yet the roof bleachers were never popular or profitable as the tiny show places that have fostered the nickel madness.
 Before the dog days set in, licenses were being granted in Manhattan Borough alone at the rate of one day for these little hurry-up-and-be-a booths They were catalogued as common shows" thanks to the board of aldermen. A special ordinance was passed to rate them under this heading. Thereby they were enable dto obtain q license for s25 for the first year, and sl2.50 for the second year. The city fathers did this before Anthony Comstock and others rose up

 Three hundred licenses were issued within the past year in the Borough or Manhattan alone for common shows. Two hundred of these were for nickelets. They are becoming vastly popular in Brooklyn. They are springing up In the shady places of Queens. and down on Staten Island you will find them in the most unexpected bosky dells. or rising in little rakish shacks on the mosquito flats.

The Nickel Madness.

From Harpers Weekly.
 The very fact that we derive pleasure from certain amusements, wrote Leeky creates a kind of humiliation. Anthony Comstock and Police Commissioner Bing- ham have spoken eloquently on the moral aspect of the five-cent theatre, drawing far more strenuous conclusions than that of the great historian. But both the gen eral and the purity commissioner gencr- alized too freely from particulars. They saw only the harsher aspects of the nick- el madness, whereas it has many inno- cent and harmless phases.
 Crusades have been organized against these low-priced moving picture theatres, and many conservators of the public mor- als have denounced them as vicious and demoralizing. Yet have they hourished amazingly, and carpenters are busy ham, mering them up in every big and little community in the country.
 The first 'nicl<elodeon,' or "nickelet," or whatever it was originally called, was merely an experiment. and the first ex- pertinent was made little more than a year ago. There was nothing singularly novel in the idea, only the lndividuaiizing of the moving picture machine. Before it had served merely as turn" in yau- deville For a very modest sum the out fit could be housed in narrow store or in shack in the rear yard of a tenement

The newspapers are telling us that we will spend anywhere from 15 to 40 per cent more for food this winter than we did last. Here Is the way they figure the advances in one month.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-10-06

We are always bearing about the in- creased cost of living with the accom- panying assertion that wages do not show a corresponding increase. Such declarations are generally exaggerated if the federal statistics are correct. The statistics indicate that in thirteen years the increase in the cost of living has not been more than 31s per cent of a workingman's income. The basis for the percentage Is an annual in come of $S35.
 Striking a general average Between the cost of food last year and in 1893 the increase is trife over per cent
 The varying prices of food however often depend on temporary conditions To counteract the effect of such mo- mentary variations and make the fig ures as accurate as possible, the basis adopted for the percentage is therefore the cost of living in 1905 on the one hand and in 1890, 1891. 1892 and 1893 on the other.
 The cost of food in 1905 was 9.s per cent higher than for 1890, S.3 per cent

WALDORF-ASTORIA HAS MANY RIVALS It Is No Longer The Chief Hotel
 of the Millionaire NEW PLAZA THE LATEST That Old Scare About the Cost of Food Bobs Up Agaln-The Modern
 skyscraper and the
 Fire Peril.
NEW PLAZA THE LATEST
BY sEWELL HAoGARD.

New York. October 5.-The prestige of the Waldorf Astoria as the hotel of the millionaire is rapidly slipping away; not because the Waldorf is de- teriorating, but because so many hotels just as good and Just as expensive have been opened in the last few years. The latest of these palaces to begin business is the Plaza. at Fifty ninth street and Fifth avenue.
 The new Plaza takes the place of structure handsome in it's day-one that cost sS,o0o,0O0. The new hotel represents an outlay of s12,5OO. GOO. The many apartments for millionaires who will live there In the winter form its distinguished feature. For the benefit of these permanent patrons there is on each floor what Is known as service room"
 This room is really a very complete buffers pantry. This is made neces- sary by the fact that many of the patrons who engage suites will have one of their rooms furnished as din- ing room. But for those who have only a bedroom or a bedroom and sittingroom, and who wish to dine in private, there is in each service room a supply of collapsible dining tables.
 AlOIB Olc Wall OI eGCi StINiC6 tOOHl there is a cupboard to hold the nec- essary supply of crockery, silverware, and linen. Then there are two plate warmers, which are heated by elec- tricity, and a large ice box, which Is chilled from the refri gerating plant in the endorsement.
 No cooking is done in the service rooms. but instant communication Is had with the kitchen in the basement hN e1 a1ppfrin dumbwaiters. The order for food or drink Is put In a pnumatic tube and shot down to a receiving table in the kitchen.
 As soon as course is prepared 1t is put on one of the four dumbwaters The man in charge then moves a dial-hand to the number of the floor to which the food is to go, the dumb waiter then automatically ascends and stops at the proper service room A little ticker or knocker announces its arrival. and small electric bulb lights up over the door of the dumb waiter containing the food Distance above the kitchen is tfrus eliminated and guest can have his food served as piping hot upon the fifteenth floor as he can in the main dining room on the ground floor.
 The ordinary rooms in this hotel cost more for nights occupancy than a shop girls weeks wages. A suite costs as much for a day a clerk can earn in two weeks. The apart ments are rated at prices higher for a weeks pay than the years wages of the average adult citizen of the United States. Yet all the expensive apartments are taken. Alfred G. Van derbilt was the first person to put his name on the register when the hotel opened on Wednesday,.
 A few years ago it would have been very cheap hotel that could have been afforded by several of the oc- cupants of the new Plaza. One of them used to propel a wheelbarrow on a slag dump near Pittsburg. Another sweated in a roller gang fin a steel mill A third peddled barbed wire and fourth travelled with vaudeville show.

In speaking of hotels ii may be Inter esting to you to know that when you tip a waiter in New York you may be tipping a clubman. The walters of the city have a club, and it occupies a handsome brownstone front house, for which they pay 5000 a year rent It is a branch of the International Geneva association which takes it's name from Switzerland, where hotel-keeping is an exact science.
 Every man who carries a tray can't get into the Geneva association. The least he must know Is two or three languages and the whole gamut of purveying fine food in a superflne way. and the best terms on which he can squeeze into the Geneva association are a regular propos- ing his name for membership and con sideration of his pretensions by a captious board of governors. For instance, he must come well within this:
 ''The chief aim of the Geneva asso- citation is to organize all classes in one profession with view of elevating every single member morally and Intellectually to such an extent as to command the re- spect not only of employers but or the public in general, and by these means ameliorate the conditions existing in our profession in the United States It IS also the aim of our society to bring about better state of affairs far as the em- ployment of members of our profession in this country is concerned. and if possible to do away with waiter joints inteii gence offices, etc, which are the greatest demoralizers of our profession
 But a look at the names of the of fcers of the club will give as good an idea as any of what kind of a club it Is.

AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.

"Our little girl, one year and half
old, was taken with eczema or that
was what the doctor called 1t. We
took her to three doctors but by this
time she was nothing but yellow,
greenish sore. One morning we dis
covered little yellow pimple on one
OF her eyes Doctor No. 3 said that we
had better take her to some eye spe-
cialist, since it was an ulcer So we
went to Oswego to doctor No. A, and
he said the eyesight was gone. We
were nearly discouraged but thought
we would try the Cuticura Treatment,
SO purchased a set of Cuticura Rem
edies, which cost me 81, and in three
days our daughter, who had been sick
about eight months, showed great i'm
provement, and in one week all sores
had disappeared. OF course it could
not restore the eyesight, but if we had
used Cuticura in time l am confident
that IL would have saved the eye
