shaw, Canes M. Harrison, John O'Far-
reH, ). Y. Keller, members of the
Hutchinson police force.
The charges against all of these Off
GERS are very similar to the charges
which were made against Mayor
Harsha. 1t is claimed that these off,
Gals were all in the conspiracy to
thwart the enforcement of the pro-
hio1tory liquor law. and that the po-
lcemen were unable to "see' viola

rick Brothers. real estate and loan
dealers. to the extent of s154,000 will
be placed on the 1908 tax rolls for COL

Brothers removed to Kansas City, Mo.
Although it is doubtful whether the
county could compel the firm to pay
taxes i'll this county. Charles Patrick,
who is in Topeka for few days. made
no effort to evade the taxes. and
agreed that the amount be placed on

TAFT AND SHERMAN CLUBS
The Republicans Of Denisoa And Crawford
County will Organize Clubs On Be-

There was meeting of the re-
publicans of Denison on last Monday
evening when the matter of organic
ing Taft and Sherman club was con-
sidered. 1t was unanimous that this
be done and between now and next
Monday membership in the club will
be offered to all republicans. Not
alone Denison but each township in
the county will be asked to organize a
club of its own. Let the republicans
in the towns 90 at the matter at once.
There is every evidence that the
county will increase its republican
vote this year. Those who know they
are Republicans can give encouragement
to the doubtful ones by joining the
Taft clubs. To be sure republicans
can vote in November. but it will
help in the enthusiasm of the cam

STRENGTHENING BOYER RIVER
A Plan To Take The Bends Out Of The Boyer
And Reclaim Bottom Lands.

The boards of supervisors in Harri-
son and Fottawattamie counties are
meeting in joint session to consider
the question OF SO changing the
channel Of the Boyer river that over
flows will not be so common. There
is some discussion over the best way
to proceed, but more over the neces
sity of something being done. an!
that at once. 1t does not seem right
that thousands of acres of the best
and most fertile land in the world
should be allowed to remain waste
when the expenditure of few thou
sand dollars would make it all the
equal of any.
The land owners on the Boyer in
Crawford county must sooner or later
face this matter. Because of the
many bends and curves the Boyer is
Iuggish. If Strengthened the current
would be swifter, and thus the water
would rush out Of the country faster
and not overflow the land. With q
swifter current the river bed woud
not fill up So rapidly with deposit.
Every argument is on the side of
undertaking the Improvement. but the
expense to the land owners. OF course
the expense objection is met by
showing that the land is nearly
worthless, and that when drained its
value would amount up fortv and
fifty percent. The land owners or
the Boyer had better begin investing
what can be done. and the best way
| to do it.

that the expenses of Mr.. j. E. Bale
were paid on the trip which he made
to Chicago to represent the Improve
ment Co. when the buying was done.
The Balle-Brodresen Co. was undoubt-
edly able to save the hotel manage
ment and the Improvement Co. many
hundreds of dollars and this they did
without penny of profit to them
selves. There is no question but that
the hotel was furnished as cheaply as
possible. considering the elegance and
completeness of every detail.
w. F. Dunn & Sons have leased
the hotel for this year with an option
for ten years. 1t is of course their
intention to remain here if the busi-
ness warrants. They are fine hotel
people and seem to have perfect
knowledge of what the travelling
public will want. Per example,
each room is to have as one of the
details of furnishing, a pin cushion,
containing needle and thread, pins,
safety pins, odd buttons. a regular
little housewife.
The Dunns have high ideals of the
way in which a hotel should be
managed and they will at least try
the experiment of giving Denison as
good hotel as can be found in all
the west.
Mr.. Harry Dunn. who has already
proven himself an efficient manager
and who has gained the confidence f
all have had to deal with him, will
be the manager and day clerk for the
present.
Mr.. Will Chupp will be the night
clerk. Mrs. Troost of Minneapolis
will be the housekeeper with two
chambermaids and two porters at her
command. Mrs. Spratt will be head
waitress with four mattresses. Curt
Schnalke of Indianapolis is the chef
upon whom so much depends, Louis
Jencks will be pastry cook. The

important bell-hops" complete the
directory of the hotel. The telephone
service installed by the Crawford

latest and best and was rush order

further details of this beautiful
hotel. the pride of Denison. 1t should
be seen to be appreciated and. by the
way, Manager Dunn requests US to
ask the good people of Denison wh9
