DENISON SHOULD CLEAN HOUSE.

The percentage is not large but
Denison has few genuine toughs.
There is bunch of loud mouthed,
tin-horn gamblers who hangs about
trying to rope in some farm boy who
has little cash. They would beat
up their grandmothers for fifteen
cents.
There is also another clique of
hoot-leggers. men who buy whisky
for Kelley cure grads. and those who
cannot get it direct from the saloons.
Then there are professional drunk
ards, unfortunate. weak minded vie
ridden creatures who should be sent
to a Kelley institute forthwith. 1t
is time that Denison should act.
Twenty determined men. acting with
sober judgment and without violence.
could rid the city of these people in
twenty days. Wherever pussible the
wrecks should be saved and given a
chance, but some are SO bad that the
only relief will be to get them out of
the community. But the first to go
should be. not the unfortunate vic
tins. but the boot-leggers and the
tin-horns. Every man about town
knows just about whom the Review
means.

mac in the harbor to "bottle up the
Spanish feet been here. delivered his
plea for q greater navy. and shaken
hands with all who desired?
+ The Chautauaua management made
no mistake in placing Hobson the first
day. He was certainly a drawing
card. Being fellow member of
congress with Hon. j P. Conner it
was most fitting that. he should in.
troduce the speaker which he did in
q neat brief speech. The Captain
was not long in getting down to the
burden of his talk. an appeal for q
greater navy. and arousing Of his
hearers to the danger of war with
japan. which nation he claims is but
waiting an excuse which it can pres

from Us. and invade our coasts with
a million soldiers.

bark this week under the title of TIE
Empire Clothing Co.. and plans to
steer safelv to the harbor Of financial
success. The captain is Mr.. Milton
McAhren. young business man who
was horn and grew to manhood in
this county. For five years he was
with the Denison Clothing Co.. when
conducted by that pushing business

to see him starting out in business

wish that he may succeed.
The other member of the firm is
Mr.. W. R. Kirkup. He likewise
needs little introduction to the people
of Denisun. For twenty years he has
been at the head of a merchant

.BUSINESSESPLAY
PUSH AROUND
KNAUL SECURES FINE LOCATION ON MAIN
STREET.
LEASES FROM lST. NATL. BANK.
7. c. Mccarthy Will Move His Saloon to the
Knaul Building October ls.

A little game of "push around"
played by some of our business houses
has resulted in r. Knaul. the veteran
druggist securing the fine location
on Main street between The Boys
store and the First National bank.
This is one of the best locations in
the city and Mr.. Knaul proposes to fix
it up in fine style. A large new
soda fountain will lie part of the
equipment of the new store. Those
who know how neat and shipshape
Mr.. Knaul has always kept his place
of business, are assured that the new
store will be beauty. Mr.. Knaul
has seen some what handicapped the
past few years by his location which
has been to one side of the main bus
mess streets. He is confident that
this move will be highly beneficial.
Mr.. Ed Liese who will remain in
Denison for some months will assist
in getting the new store into running
order. Mr.. Knaul is our senior drug
gist. He is an honorable. upright cit
ize and business man of proven in.
tegrity. We join with his many
friends in wishing him the best pos
isble success in his new location.
The Knaul building has been leased
for period of FIVE years to T. G..
Mccarthy. who will remove from his
present location on October. Mr..
Mccarthy was pleased with his pres
ent location but it seems impossible
to continue another winter in the old
building which he occupied. In fact
the same reason which made the
Knaul location poor one for drug
store, make it good one for saloon.
No matter what ones beliefs or .pre-
judices may be concerning saloons
lie generally adssis.ass a.sS De... 81
that if We are to have saloons in ou,
city they are much better in the
hands of such men as Tom Mccarthy
than of others.

Edith Flodine is an attractive ap-
pearing girl of about twenty years.
She had been despondent for some
time over personal affairs and had
several times spoken of making an
end of her life. On Tuesday morn
ing she arose at the usual hour and
went about her duties until the men
of the household went out to milk.
She then took a package of Paris
Green from the shelf. mixed it with
sugar and taking the mixture went
out to the barn where she completely
hid herself under the hay. Being

about eating enough poison to kill
herself. Her ignorance of the amount
required was her ultimate salvation.
She ate little and as that did not
work quick enough she ate more and

lectures and Concerts Taking Place Accord
ing to Program.

Although by the car arriving late
the Chautauqua assembly got little
lame start. things are now going on
smoothly, and the affair will be an
undoubted success. 1t would appear
there will be no disappointments on
the program. On the first day the
hero Hobson and the eminent DR..
Will spoke as will be seen in the
write-ups in another column. The
children are pleaed with the Indian
games and this will be most inter-
esting part of the weeks amuse-
ments. The bible lectures by Or.
Enyart are proving fine. Those who
believe in the Chautauqua manage
ment having bible talks in the pro-
gram should turn out to the morning
talks from ten to eleven.
On Wednesday the Pueblo Indians
were here and gave an idea of the
ancient civilization of their ancestors.
They added to the lecture given in
the evening by DR.. Cole. Miller. of
ONO, made good in his lecture on
" Animal Husbandry.

ing capacity of the big tent in the
city park on the east side of town
will be taxed. But there is plenty
of standing room on the grass. DR..
Hood is proving good conductor and
he says the crowds present from the
beginning surprised him.

Mrs. Theo. Kuhl left this morning
for Okoboji. where she will visit
friends for week or two.
Congressman Conner was at the
summer school MONDAY forenoon by
invitation, and spoke for time be-.
fore the teachers. He made a plea
for more stability in the teaching
profession. There should be some
method adopted by which the teach
ers would be glad to regard it as
life work. and not a temporary
make shift. He advocated normal
schools aided by the state in every
county. and that those who would
pledge themselves to teach for given
number of years should have special
training given them.

how easy it was for these to swarm
over the borders.
Hobson gave some inside facts as
to the incident of keeping the Jap
anese students from the San Francisco
schools. He says that if it had net
been for the coolness of President
Roosevelt that war might have then
come upon US. When something sim
liar occurred up in British America
where England would be effected
nothing was done. but when quarrel
could be picked with the United
States. war was threatened at once.
He claims that our nation was hamili-
ated when it had to put the Japanese
pupils back in the San Francisco
schouls against the local sentiment
of the people there. He called to
min. that the mayor went on breath
ing defiance. and went back from
Washington meek as lamb.
Captain Hobson urges more large
ships, greater in size. with more far
reaching guns. and faster than any
other nation now has. Expense should
not be counted. for in case of war with
Japan the treasure of our country
would flow without limit. A navy
WOULD be no menace to the land. like
q great standing army. He says that
in case of war with japan we would
at first be beaten, but in the course
of few years our great resources
would show up and success might
come our way. In conclusion he
offered certain resolutions which
we're adopted urging congress to have
the International court of arbitration
made stronger. and give more powers.
and to provide for a greater navy.
We hear that Captain Hobson was
much pleased with his reception at
Dcnison, and people certainly were
with him.

remain to render Dallas distinctly
