It is asserted on the part Of those
who are friendly to him that the
charge can be easily disproved, that
Mr.. Booth has frequently. since the
Indictment was returned, offered to
return to Crawford county to meet
the charges made against him.
Others maintain that the law has
been violated and that the case can
be proved against the defendant.
The Review has no opinion to ex-
press concerning the guilt or inno-
cence Of the party accused, preferring
to leave the matter to the court. 1t
ID always safe to trust to the courts
to dispose Of q case Of this character
rather than to have the community

ably select its own route and make

In listening to the descriptions Civ
en- by the members Of the party, one
can imagine himself going from place
to place and standing on the historic
ground described.
The party spent something like
eight days in London, which gave
them an opportunity to see many Of
the prominent points Of interest and
to visit some of the great art exhi-
ibitions. A like amount OF time was
given to Paris, where places of his
toric interest were, visited. ober-
ammergau was one Of the places Of
great interest, and like all other trav-
elers, they give very graphic &C
count Of the, Passion Play, which they
had the pleasure of Witnessing.
A number Of points, including Rome,
Venice. Florence and Milan. were Wis
tied in Italy. Rome seems to have
had many attractions for the visitors.
They crossed the Tiber, passed
along the Appian way, visited the Coli
scum. the Pantheon and saw many OF
the 500 churches In the city. st.
Paul's and st. Peters cathedrals
were among the great sights. Some
Of the members Of the party visited
the vatican and witnessed service
at which the pope delivered an inter
esting address. s
Florence furnished sight long to
be remembered in the most beautiful
and artistic royal palace seen by the
party at any place on the trip.
After leaving Paris, Germany. Italy
Switzerland, Holland and Belgium
were visited. although the party re
peated their visit to Germany anG
France before their return. All Of these
countries were 9 delight to the tray

and yet in talking with the members
Of the company and asking about the
condition of the people visited, ant

gains the impression that at no place
and in no country do the people en-
joy the comforts found in the Amer
ican homes.

CONTENT TO RETURN HOME
Visited Many Places Of Interest and
Give Enthusiastic Description.
"Party Of Thirteen"

The voss.Gulick party, composed
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Voss and son, Loyal,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Gulick, returned on
Monday night from their European
trip Mr.. Voss himself having reached
Denison on Friday morning.
While the members Of the party
were delighted with their trip and
have nothing but the highest praise
for all they saw and heard, they are
quite content to return to their homes
IN Denison. Some Of them have been
heard to say that they could not be
tempted to take another trip any
where in the near future.
They were exceedingly fortunate in
enjoying the best OF health during
the entire trip and escaped without
an accident Of any kind to mar the
pleasure Of their journey. Mr.. voss
may think that he has q grievance
from the fact that the motion Of the
ship and the action OF the sea at times
~
caused him some little annoyance,
but he felt all the better for his ex-
perience after It was over. We un
derstand the other members Of the
party generally escaped without any
discomfort.
The McMahons will be coming along
some time next week, their delay be
ing caused by taking side trip into
Ireland to get their children who were
left with relatives during the time
they were abroad.

FRIDAY MORNING At 11:so
At Meeting Of Commercial Club Com
mittes Was Appointed 70 Adver-
tise speech.

The community was surprised last
week when word came that EXPIRES
ident Roosevelt was to stop at Deni-
son on his western trip. s@
The first intimation given came
from Mr.. Cheseman, travelling passen-
ger agent of the Chicago & North.
western Railway company. When
passing through the city on Thurs
day evening he stopped at the station
long enough to call up over the phone
several people to tell them that on
Friday. August 26th, at 1880 q. N.
the Roosevelt train would pass
through Denison and would stop for
ten full minutes to give the people 4
chance to see and hear him.
A meeting Of the Commercial club
was called on Saturday in order to
determine what the method Of pro.
cedure should be on the part Of the
citizens Of the city and how much d
an effort should be made to bring 4
crowd here to see the ex-president. 4
A committee consisting Of ]. p,
Conner. Sears McHenry, George
Naeve, Hugo Gilbert. WI G. Rollins
and Alfred Wright was appointed
with full authority to take such steps
as should be deemed advisable. The
committee decided to give as much
publicity as possible to the fact OF Mr.
Roosevelt's purpose to stop here II
order that those who desire can be
at the station when the train passes
through.

then he slyly flew to the Greyson's
front gate and ate some of the crumDs
from the gate post Then he sought
the tree beside the gate and, on ex-
ploring the bare branches hunting no
doubt for q warm place, for the
weather was still bitterly cold, ne
found the house with the open door.
Into 1t he first put his head. and, SEE
ing that the place contained no enemy,
into it he stepped And, finding 1t SO
COSY. he decided to remain, which he
did.
And all that winter did Bonnie
STAY in the little house in the tree, ana
it was May Greyson who named him
Bonnie, for she declared he was the
bonniest birdie she had ever seen. Z
and all the family agreed with her.
And not one day or night did Bonnie
feel the cold, and when other sparrows
CHANGED to pay him visit-which was
quite frequent-he had delightful
parlor in which to entertain them. Ana
seeing these little visitors coming
there caused Mr.. Greyson ana MS
sons to build several more sparrow
houses in the tree beside the gate, ana
there were plenty of sparrows to take
possession as soon as the tree apart,
ments were ready for them.

Then the children joined their par

young guests arrived Then all was

And after the curtain was drawn
from in front of the tree, the light
shone full upon frightened Bonnie. He
sat in the full view of all present. "a
queer looking. red checked individual,
whom the children all called Santa,
was there, making loads Of fun as he
lifted the gifts from the tree. But
Bonnie could not enter into the spirit
of the occasion, for he felt that every
minute would be his last. So he sat
covering and shivering on the limb,
too much afraid of what might happen
to him should he fly away from it.
And pretty soon a pair Of bright
eyes rested on him. They were
Santas eyes. and he thought Bonnie a
stuffed or toy bird. "Ah, ha,' said

came into the room. She lighted the

took peep behind the curtain which
