School election passed off very
quietly on Monday. The closing of
the saloons was the only incident
which marred the joy of the occasion.
Nicholson and Kuehnle were reflect

general satisfaction.
j. P. Freihage is a disciple of
cleanliness. He was the man who
ran the original bakery in Spotless
Town and he took the bun. He has
had hold of the Palace bakery but a
short time but he has already made it
look like a new place. Soap, water.
paper, paint. elbow grease and an
excellent vocabulary, are responsible
for some splendid results. Freihage
says he is going to run clean bakery

Here's hoping.
There is a serious lack of teachers
to fill the schools of the county and
to help the situation the county super
intendent has set Friday and Saturday,
March 10 and 20, as examination
days. Applicants must be ready for
work at eight in the morning. This
will be the only opportunity to obtain
q certificate for spring term of
school. There will probably be fif-
teen teachers short to fill the school
rooms this spring. We might add
here that. it does seem probable there
will be any new school, laws passed
\ by this legislature SO the people must
plan to get the best results from the
present conditions.

A course in domestic science can
not but be of great and lasting value
to every housekeeper. Great pains is
taken in this course to explain care
fully the nutritive value of foods,
tests for authorizations, combination
of classes of food in bills of fare, so
as to be most liable. Together
with the theory is given practice in
both plain and ornamental cookery.
Bread and soups are made the subjects
of special drill. No industry is more
important to human happiness and
we'll being than that which makes the
home. Miss Charlton is ut the head
of the domestic science department of
the Ames College and was also at
the head of this work at the corn
show in Omaha. The course will be-
gin next Tuesday. the 18th of March,
and will last three days. Six lectures
will be given morning and afternoon.
The price of the tickets is one dollar.

j. b. Lyon. the Broadway grocer,
fell on slippery walk Tuesday morn
ing and struck on his temple. He
was knocked senseless. BY degrees
he came to consciousness. hut up to
Wednesday night be was not fully
recovered. 1t would appear that he
ran out of his store III his shirtsleevea
across the alley to the business house
of George Menagh. AS he was shut
ting the front door on the return. he
fell on the inclined walk, as before
noted. His condition was soon seen,
and shortly he was laid on a cot in
his store. Medical aid was summoned.
Before dinner he was carried through
the snow to his residence on Park
street one block south of the Julius
Bale home. There was fear for a
time that the brain was injured by the
fall and his condition was closely
watchde. He is now on the gain.
and for this his devoted wife and
friends are most thankful.
The SOth birthday of Mrs. Rachel
Wright was very pleasantly cele-
brated by the ladies of Trinity church
together with few friends and neigh

A very handsome gold spoon was
presented Mrs. Wright by the guests,
Mrs. ShawVan presenting it. 1t was
also Mrs. Beardsley's birthday and
she received a bouquet of carnations.
Refreshments in two courses were
served by Mesdames ShawVan. Garb-
er and Wright and Alma Wright.
Mrs. Wright's life has been a beau
ftiful one and her friends wished

popular Chautauqua speaker, and has
delivered this and other lectures in
Chicago. Kansas City. Lincoln. Rould-

people in Denison have heard him,
and most highly recommended him.
The ladies feel that in securing Mr..
Huggett they are providing a high
class entertainment for all. and hope
to clear little sum for their treasury.
1t will no doubt add to the interest of
the public to know that Rev. Nugget
is brother of our townswoman, Mrs.
M. A. Penney. We are able to secure
him for this date, only because he
speaks at Lincoln, Neb. just previ.

HON. j. P. CoNNoR RETURNED
His Homecoming Means Much to Denisoa as
He is Always Foremost in the Affairs
Of Our City.

Hon. j. P. Conner returned on
Sunday noon from his winters stay
in Washington. Raymond accom-
panied him as far as Mt. Vernon,
stopping there to visit school friends.
Mrs. Conner is visiting friends in
Georgia. South Carolina and Alabama
and will not return to Iowa for sever
al weeks. Judge Conner is looking
we'll and in good health in spite of
the fact that he was confined to his
bed for several days of the past few
weeks.
Inauguration Day was wretched, so
Mr.. Conner tells US, and it is probable
that some move will be made to
change the date. The Judge is very
confident as to the success of the Taft
administration. He says he thinks
Taft will take the Congress more into
his confidence than did President
Roosevelt and that result will thus
be, that more will be accomplished
with much less friction. Judge Con-
ner is not however among those who
would detract from ex-President
Roosevelt. nor deny to him the credit
for his great accomplishments. Re-
lative to the secret service, Judge
Conner tells US that it was the con-
census of opinion that Congressman
Walter I. Smith fully proved his con-
tention, and that Smith is to be one
of the great leaders of the next House.
Mr.. Conner says that he 10 glad to be
at home again and promises US an.
other Panama letter telling of the
Culebra cut. He may also see fit to
make some further statement relative
to Congressional matters.

to retain any different control over these lands from those which have been already sold by the, government in other parts of the country.
 It seems wise in tho disposition of coal lands and indeed of all mineral lands having agricultural value to the surface of the land from it's mineral contents; and then either to lease tho right to take coal from the land at specified compensation per ton, that is to provide a system of royalties, or sell the deposists of tho land out right to the coal miner.
 In every case, restriction by way Of forfeiture ought to be included to pre- vent monopoly of ownership of her coal land in any one set of men so as to enable them to control the price of coal. This is the great object of . change in the method of their dispo. sition.

takes issue with the president and says Alaska should be able to govern herself, that the cablegrams signed by nearly every newspaper and mayor of Alaska shows her capacity of self government and proves the falsi;y of the presidents statement that they are not entitled to it. It asserts that newspapers represent the people and the Alaska newspapers are overwhelm- ingly in favor of self government.

President Talks On
 Disposition of Resources

Spokane, Oct. 5-Disposition of coal, oil and phosphate lands in Alaska, California, Idaho and Wyom- ing, owned by the government, with such restrictions as will permit their development by private project and yet will prevent monopoly and extor- ion in the sale of the products, was discussed at length by President Taft
 n the course of an address before an audience of 40, GOO in Spokane Sep tember 2S and in discussing the first mentioned subject he spoke as fol lows ::
 "rhe anthracite coal strike evoked 2 great deal of discussion in respect to the evils of the ownership by pri- sate persons of monopoly of the coal supply of the country, and led Mir. Roosevelt to declare the necessity of preserving from acquisition by monop- oIizing syndicates the public coal lands still undisposed Of.
 The truth Is, that in Alaska the deposits of coal are so great that when they are developed they will doubtless furnish coal to the entire Pacific coast. They have been reserved from filings siuce 1906.
 There are some 900 calins, but 1t is probable that under the evidence adduced most Of these claims will prove to have been defective.
 With such an immense tract of coal land at a place near the sea as this is, from which coal can be easily furn. ishd by water to the entire Pacific coast, 1t becomes highly important to settle before this land shall be disposed of under present laws whether we are

 lu his speech at the banquet last night the president lauded Baliinger and took crack a at Secretary Ritch- cock by saying that several people had taken it upon themselves to show up Roosevelt thoroughly, but they had lost sight of what Roosevelt really meant by his conservation policy. He further stated that Secretary Ballin- ger intened 70 visit Alaska next spring. He also said that in his opinion the government could aii the north by building better roads and the admini- stration intended to see Alaska given it's full due. This was evidently handed out as a sort of salve to the injured feelings of the Alaskans and elicited no applause.

and criminal classes?
 As matter of fact tho great major. ity of citizens in Alaska arc honest whole hearted, hard working pio- neers. of more than average intelli- gence and experience. There is no criminal class here and nothing to induce them to come. Desperate char acters have sense and cunning and know very we'll that it is a difficult country to escape from.

Tho laws are gsnsr. ally observed and easily enforced. She is untitled to some form of homo rule, to afford better opportunities for correcting her laws and some of our present political abuses.
 The idea of congressman Wm. Sul. ger, for three territories, is . good one. The general population of Alaska is almost unanimous for territorial government and the old argument of extra expense is exploded. We are out for it ana expect to win, and the names of those who oppose tho meas ure will not be written on the tablet of fame with those of Seward and Sumner. The expressions Of President Taft in Minnesota and the state of Washington regardless of his claim that he is following tho Roosevelt policies, indicate that the Cannon. Aldrich influence is taking . hand in his policies. Our 'orefathers were determined and fought for the very principles that are now denied Alas. kans.
 We are also determined and will continue the fight for principles, right, justice and American libsr- ties. All we ask is that our eastern countrymen and legislators inform themselves of Alaska, not from reports of political wire-pullers but by per. sonal investigation and observation, then our cause is won.
