RAINS in NICK OF TIME
Copious Rain Gives King Corn Big Boost in
Crawford.

Tuesday night. succeeding the
burning heat of Monday. Crawford
county enjoyed a splendid. eopious.
soaking ram. The rain was general
throughout the county and undoubted-
ly meant thousands of dollars added
to the value of the corn crop. King
Corn was getting bit tagged and
dusty and his crown was beginning to
wilt. but the rain put fresh life into
every field and the stalwart rows of
green clad grenadlers are holding up
their heads with conscious pride.
The rain was accompanied by a
heavy electrical disturbance and as
usual the good luck Of many was the
misfortune of few. In Denison the
home of Mr.. Schurke in the eastern
part of the city was struck bv lightn-
ing but not greatly injured A large
stack of hay belonging to P. w. We
berg was destroyed and stack belong
ing to D. U. Thew was also burned.
There were undoubtedly other losses
which have not been reported. The
greatest loss however. was at Char
ter Oak, where the handsome Catholic
church is total loss

THE LAY OF THE LAST MINSTREL

With the passing of Ed Ainsworth
we lose the last of the jolly fun
makers who frightened the pioneer
days of Crawford county. Among the
pioneers the work was hard, toll must
be unremitting if competency was to
be wrested from the SOIL Amuse-
ments were few and primitive.
Long. dark. snow filled winters;
fierce. hot, labor-filled summers
visited the struggling settlements in
dull succession. 1t was into this
practical. dour, but splendidly ener-
getic community that Providence sent
a few such men as George Heston,
AL. Vickers and Ed Ainsworth.
Solemn faced pioneers held their
sides with laughter at the very
mention of their names. Log cabin
doors framed the joyous faces of all
the family, when one of them
deigned to stop in passing. No one
knows how much they did to tighten
heavy loads. to ease with careless
laughter the pain of aching hearts.
to make possible existence on the
hare and lonely prairies Of those early
days.
The people repaid them with a
love which has endured through all
the vicissitudes of time and place
and fortune, and which has followed
them to the grave with tears.
Their songs. their laughter. their
harmless minstrelsy, made up al
most all that we knew of lightness
They represented not mirth alone,
but music, drama. art.
Like all the sons of mirth they
were great. tender-hearted. lovable
men. The tear is ever the neighbor
to the smile. The sensitive soul that
sees life from the crested wave of
lollity knows. too. the trough of the
sea aud beholds with sympathetic
eye the mystery of life's deeps.
And thus these Knights of the
Light Heart, laughed with their little
world. and wept with it and helped
it both in sunshine and in storm.
Who shall say who played the
larger part. the stern faced pioneer
who built and struggled for the
future, or the merry minstrels who
made the struggle bearable. who
gave courage and happiness to hungry
hearts and furnished the food of
mirth and merriment to starving
souls.

REV. SHARPE in DENISON.
Former Pastor Of Presbyterian Church Give.
Sermon at Union Service.

The predecessor of Rev. Bryce as
pastor of the Presbyterian church was
Rev. j. H. Sharpe. He is now pas
tor at Red Bluffs. California. and on
his vacation trip to New York and
Canada stopped off to visit the Deni-
sno friends. These promptly asked
him to preach on last Sunday evening
when there was union service of the
membership Of the Methodist, Baptist
and Presbyterian churches. On that
occasion the church, was we'll filled.
Rev. Thuresson took part in the ser
vices. Rev. Sharpe took for his
Thought the we'll remembered verses
in John which includes 3-l6 'sFor God
so Loved the World that He gave His
only Begptten Son that whosoeve.

but have Everlasting Life-'' The
sermon was given in a conversational
way as friend talks 60 friend. Ac-
cording to. his view Denison and Iowa
generally are far ahead of CalifoeDia
in morals. Sunday observance, and
Christian citizenship. With him the
glarlng evils of this world have to be
fought all the time. He said Cali

it lacks many things going to make

and service places him in class by
himself in the annals of his state.
He was theaadvisor of Presidents. the
leader of the Senate and the guard
ian of the Nations welfare.
1t is consolation to US to know
that neither in the files of the Re-
view has an unkind word heen said,
nor in the mind of the editor has an
unkind thought found Judgement con-
corning the venerable statesman and
long time personal friend. Living
or dead, we have always honored him,
sincerely. truly. honestly. as we do
today. In common with others who
were Allison's friends, we telt that
in his age he was being made the tool
of others. The event has proven the
contention that his health and vigor
would not permit him longer to serve
the state with that power and wisdom
which was Allisonian, and we are still
of the opinion that had he been left
to decide the question for himself.
without taking into consideration the
ambitions of others, he would quietly
have withdrawn his name and ended
his DAYS in we'll earned peace. In this
as in other matters we believe he
sacrificed himself for his friends.
Under the circumstances every
loyal lowan must rejoice that Senator
Allison died in the harness. - To
him it was a splendid intervention of
Providence that he should die in the
hoo1 of victory. with the pleasure OF
the peoples endorsement IN his heart
and that the last DAYS of his active
service saw him still in the possess
sion of his intellectual powers. 10
none would it have been more
grievous. than to Allison himself. had
he been permitted to live through the
term for which he was candidate,
with mind and body enfeebled, bat
shadow of his once great self, incar :
able Of rendering to mis- beloved state
the service which he, the most OF all,
! would have felt to have been her due.

MONDAY THEIR JONAH DAY.

The less said about that ball game
OH Monday between the Postal cards
and the c. n. Rats. the better. 1t
was Hoodoo day for the Postalettes.
They could not have licked one cent
stamp. Before the game opened
Sprecher sent Special Delivery to
Kemp which took him just over the
heart and sent him to the Dead Let
ter office for minute. O'Hare went
through the cancelling machine for a
sprained ankle later in the game.
The fast males were late in their
base running and the pitcher had a
rural delivery which the rats back
stamped for fourteen runs. The out
going males were too seldom to suit
the Federalists and closing time
found them able to pay but fifty cents
on the dollar.

THE SENATORIAL SUCCESSION.

Out of respect for the memory of
the deceased Senator the Review re-
trains at this time from any further
mention of the senatorial succession.
We believe that the republicans of

Some Straight Talk.

A word to the wise ought to
be sufficient.
We would like to talk good
Furniture and Carpets toyou for
Just few minutes. We know
that we are not the only ISurni-
tvre Store as we'll as you are not
the only party that buys Furni-
tuYe. Bat we do know that we
have the largest, most complete
stock of Furniture and Carpets
in Crawford county, and it is
4 Just this that we want to tell
you. 1t don't matter what some
one tells you on paper that they
can do for you, that you can buy
of them just then, the best goods
at the lowest of price, that just
then is the right time to buy.
That is one way of working off
cheap goods, to hurry them out,
talk price only, but be very care
full not to show the quality.
But this is not our style.
Compare the goods as we'll as
the quality and price. We are
ready at all times to meet any
i all competition on quail
ity and price and quantity. All
we ask is a neutral comparison.
Like any other store we have
bargains in special lines at specia
times. Call and see few Of
our specials which we guarantee
to be just what we claim them
to be, good honest goods at the
very lowest of prices.
