Dow City certainly did celebrate
the glorious Fourth. The celebration
was great success in every way. 1t
is estimated that between three and
four thousand people were here, and
all seemed to enjoy good time. The
day was right. What helps US out
is having such fine public park. and
being able to have the celebration
doings right handy to the town. Our
park is just at the end of Main street
only four blocks south of the N. W.
depot 1t has large trees. plenty of
grass, room enough to accommodate
all who come. Our banker, w. f.
Fishel was president of the day and
made the address of welcome. Rev
Curtis was present to offer prayer.
The speaker was Hon. Charles G.
Saunders. of Council Bluffs. He was
a Crawford county boy and one of the
men whom every one of our citizens
is proud. He spoke the gospel of
hope. .cheerfulness, contentment. He
does not think the world or the re-
public going to the dogs. 1t is re-
freshing to hear such talk when the
cry from President down might lead
one to think that all public officials
were rascals and graft was in the as
tendency. There were many games
and contests in the afternoon. Base
ball, horse racing. dancing. wrestling
match. and fireworks IN the evening.
Dow City business men deposited be-
tween three and four thousand dollars

If the ten year old son of Charley

tempted to leave town feeling that
bad luck Was after him at Dow City.
The lad was sliding about out IN the
barn having matches in his pocket
Someway these became lighted ant
there was excitement on the premises
until all was safe. The incident calls
attention to the fact that we have moi
hose enough to reach the Smith home

thing that should have the attentio,
} of our council.
