MARIE HE|DEN WINS,
This Popular Denison Miss
Makes Greatest Gain
MISS MARIE KEANE LEADS
The Vail Fayorite rorges to the Front
For the Automobile.

The great auto-piano contest grows
in interest. There is now great
rivalry for the automobile and from
now on the race will be only for it
and the piano. Miss Keane has
forged to the front by less than 5000
votes. Her friends have been maxi
ing big push of late to put her
in the lead and have now succeeded.
The lead is not so great but that both
she and Miss Baker can be reached
before June IL.
Miss Marie Heiden the Denison
school girl who has worked so per-
sistently has now won her reward
and captured the phonograph given
to the contestant making the greatest
gain from March lst to April Is. She
made a gain of s5. .326 landing her up
to 148,O71. Her friends may take a
notion to have her ride in the auto
now she is showing such strength.
All the contestants have made great
gains in the last week and even those
seemingly. in the rear can come to
the front.
Here is how the count stands:

committeeman posted. on their duties

gentlemen and in fact all citizens to

primary law explained. To further
aid in this matter the Review prints

While to an ordinary voter the pri-
mary will be much like an election
in November, for the candidates and
those responsible for the counting and
returning of the votes. there is much
to learn. After the first trial the
worst will be over and few mistakes
made by one trying to be posted.
Chairman Tucker of the republican
committee is to be commended for
his foresight in arranging for this
instruction meeting. The county
attorney and others who have given
the subject attention will explain the
law section by section. 1t would be
we'll for those. thinking of attending
to arrange questions covering points
they are in doubt about. We hope
that the meeting Friday will be
largely attended.

Friday of this week has been set
aside by the Board of Education for
the annual school exhibit. The exhi-

the evening. In order to avoid
crowding, hours will be assigned in
the. forenoon for the pupils of the
various rooms above the third.
Pupils of the third grade and grades
below will be expected to come with
their parents.
We consider this industrial and
school work exhibit most important
and hope that the public will not fail
to attend and see what the children
are doing. The holding If such an
exhibit by the Denison schools began
fully thirty years ago when Prof.
Hawk was the principal and has
been kept up nearly annually ever
since. The manual training depart
ment of our schools will add much to
the exhibit this year. Be sure to
attend whether you have children in
the schools or not.

STRUCK IN THE RIGHT EYE
Rev. LaRaau The Baptist Pastor
Nearly Killed BY a Sick Lodging
in His Eye.

Our good Baptist friends came very
near having an unexpected vacancy
in their pulpit because of an accident
to Rev. LaReau. We noted last
week that the trees about the church
building were being cut down. The
pastor thought to secure some sum-
mer wood from chopping up the
branches and was engaged at the
work on Thursday last at about one
o'clock. He struck a branch with
his axe when a piece of wood flew
up and penetrated his right eye.
Such was the pain that he sank
instantly to the ground. Happily for
him. his wife was near and seeing
his condition took him in her arms
into the house. There she and his
mother and some other women began
caring for him until medical aid could
be procured. He was cold and nearly
lifeless and they took efficient
means to keep up circulation and
warmth. The doctor came and the
wood was removed. We are happy to
say that his eye may recover but he
had narrow escape from death. He
was saved by the prompt work Of his
wife and the other ladies. He ex-
poets to preach next Sunday. His
people can pretty nearly feel they
received him back from the dead.

BE COUNTY SHERIFF
Mike Copps Of Charter Oak Enters the
Arena for Nomination for Sheriff

Mr.. Mike Copps. the we'll known
livery man of Charter Oak announces
that he will ask the republican
voters 20 make him their candi-
date for county sheriff. Mr.. Copps
has been resident of Charter Oak
for fifteen years. and if there is
man living on the west side of the
couny he does not know, it will be
strange indeed. The true blue
republicans of Charter Oak and Will
low are fighters and if they get
behind the candidacy of MIR. Copps
he will run we'll. It is not for this
paper or any body of men to decide
on who shall he the republican
candidate for sheriff. Happily
under the new order of things the
republican voters have direct say.
Copps will be heard from however
when the votes are counted in June.

Mrs. John Kelly Dies at Her Home on
Monday Last.

The not unexpected death of Mrs.
John Kelly occurred ut her home
near the west Denison public school
building on Monday. April 13, at 8

suffered stroke of paralysis and
never recovered. She died peacefully

Miss Bridget Rasp was born sixty
seven years ago at Perth, Canada.
She died on the forty fifth ami
versary of her wedding day having

of Aliens Grove. Scott county
| She was renowned because she
feared the Lord, and no one spoke evil
against her.. With these words
Father Farrelly began his deserved
eulogy on the life of the deceased.
In viewing her life he empathized
three strong characteristics. Her
patience under all circumstances of
life; her fervor as Catholic: and
her discretion in directing her walk
| in life. All these virtues grew. in
the language of the priest. at the foot
of the cross of Christ. After an
acquaintanceship of fully twenty
years, with good conscience declared
that she was perfect in Christian
virtues. There was a very large
attendance at the funeral. both of
her fellow Catholics and the Protes-
tants. for Mrs. Kelly was woman
to whom the greatest of respect was
due. Her children coming from the
home have taken high rank for in
telligence. business. and manly and
womanly virtues. With them and
the esteemed husband there is much
!. sympathy.

FREDERICK LOUIS MEYERS.
This Beautiful Child Taken to Chi

Most everyone in Denison and many
of our readers elsewhere are acquaint-

son of Mr.. and Mrs. F. w. Meyers.
He is acknowledged to be a child
beautiful in form and character. and
therefore universal tavorite. Thus
the news that he had disease which
demanded a hurried visit to q
specialist in Chicago accompanied by
his parents and Aunt Grace. was
heard with deep regret. We shall
not attempt to give the medical name
for the touble. but it is the lessen

if the trouble is not checked. Great
hope is put on the news from Chicago
that the specialist says there is a
good fighting chance for the lad g
recovery, and it need not be told that
the parents and relatives will let
nothing stand in the way Of making
the most of that chance. The mother
is now with her son at St. Luke
hospital in Chicago. and will remain
there to await the result of the
treatment. The father and Miss
Grace will stay near at hand for the
present. Many are the prayers made
for the dear boys recovery who has
wrapped his strings of love about
hundreds of hearts in Denison ant

NEW PRESBYTERIAN MANsE
Plans Being Made for a New Parson-
age by the Presbyterian
Membership.

While the final decision has not
been made it is most probable that
the Presbyterian pastor will by fall
be living in q modem parsonage to
stand on site south of the church
and on line with the M. E. parson-
age. The membership ID fully able
financially to do this and there seems
little doubt but that it will be done.
The Presbyterian society has been at
Denison for many years. In the
early days it was sustained largely by
the loyal Scotchmen who came here
from Ireland. Of course the leading
families were the Luney. Smythe.
McWilliams and Rollins. If there
was Presbyterian preaching they
went to church. it not. they wor-
shipped at home. They would not
give up and unite with other
churches. In time their loyalty and
endurance was rewarded bv the
incoming of others of the faith and
the membership began to grow. The
first church building was on South
Main street. three blocks south of the
Laub corner. The site is now occu-
peid by the fine residence of Mr..
Jones who came from West Side.
The present church building oppo-
site the Carnagie library is in an
ideal location. The present parson-
age has been standing to the west OF
the church and so seemingly off the
Main travelled street. The new one
however, will have excellent location,
and in appearance. still further show
the wealth and influence in commun.
ity of the Presbyterian society.
