OLD SETTLERS
PICNIC PROGRAM
The Program for the Best Old Settlers
Reunion Ever Held In Crawford
County 10 Prepared.
STORES SHOULD CLOSE At NOON
And Merchants Meet Friends and Gus
toners on Picnic Grounds and
Help Make Day : Success.

The Old Settlers reunion, which oc-
ours on Friday, the 9th Of September,
is the most important subject up for
consideration at this time. The indi-
cations all point to a successful meet
ing this year. Conditions were never
more favorable than they are for
large turnout on the part Of the peo-
pie OF the county.
A large number Of citizens, includ.
ing the members Of the executive com
mittee, were in session at the CONNER
cial club room until q late hour last
night arranging the program and dis
cussing various phases Of the coming
event. Enthusiasm for the reunion Is
increasing every day.
It was the unanimous opinion Of all
present last evening at the meeting
that the stores in Denison should close
at noon until four o'clock in the after
noon in>order that the merchants may
be able to meet their customers at
the park and enjoy a social hour with
them until the program opens at one
O'Clock, and from that time until four
O'clock help to make the program
success.
1t would be q capital idea for the
merchants of Denison to close their.
lstores and give their whole attention
to making the reunion success dur
ing the afternoon. It would not only
delight the people, but in the long
run would be profitable from every
standpoint. Other towns suspend bus
ness on occasions of this kind and
Denisons can well AFFORD to.
a splendid program is provided and
plenty of music Of the highest order.
both vocal and instrumental. In an
other column will be found the pro
gram and the songs which have been
selected to be sung on the occasion.
4 We suggest to readers of the paper
that the paper either be preserved or
the selection of the music be cut out
and retained SO that everybody will
have, the words of the songs to be
|sung, which will save bringing books
containing the songs.
(. Let us make the reunion this year
i the greatest Homecoming of all the
years since the first reunion was held.

.C0lhPL LAIlVIS ON
DITCH ASSES SSMENT
Board Of Supervisors Have Been En-
gagged for Several Days Trying
to Settle Complaints.
RAtRoADs WERE HERE IN FoRcl
Illinois Central Assessed At $4,000;
Northwestern At $500 and the
Milwaukee It $500.

The board Of supervisors has been
for several days engaged in trying to
settle complaints Of various people
against the alleged injustice Of assess.
ments for benefits on account Of the
ditch STRENGTHENING the Boyer river In
the western part Of the county.
The railroad companies were here
N force on Thursday last the Illinois
Central resisting an assessment placed
BY the commissioners at s1O.OOO.OO:
the Northwestern one at 81, 10000, and
the Milwaukee one at $2,5oo.oo.
While the commissioners in fixing
the assessments perhaps failed to
adopt scientific or businesslike meth,
DDS in fixing the amount, they acted
with their best judgment from all the
facts which we're given them and
made findings which may not be 80
far out Of the way.
The assessment against the Illinois
Central on the face Of it would seem
70 be too large and the probabilities
are that 9 reduction will be made. The
assessments against the other roads
do not seem to be 80 much out Of
proportion.
There were not very many land
owners in the county who appealed
from the action Of the commissioners

The cordial reception given to Thee

last Friday on his western trip must
have Aattered him.
From the time he arose In the early
morning at Marshalltown until he
crossed the Missouri river from Coun-

he was cheered by thousands Of peo-
pie who hocked to all the stations
along the line to see and hear him.
AT Ames, Jefferson. Carroll. Denison.
Missouri Valley and Council Bluffs
large and enthusiastic crowds were on
hand to welcome him.
In view Of the fact that his train
was advertised to stop at Denison but
) ten minutes no plans could be made
which involved his leaving the sta
tion to come up town. Long before
the arrival Of his train large mum
ber Of people. estimated at not less
than two thousand. gathered at the
station and awaited his coming and
when the train came and stopped with

tion, Mr.. Roosevelt, with his face
beaming with good nature, appeared
and Immediately commenced his ad-
dress. which was cut short by the
train pulling out after he had spoken
!. not to exceed five or six minutes.
His speech was free from partisan
ship Of any kind and showed that he
was not out to advance the interest
Of any faction of his party. The tom.
myrot that has appeared in some OF
I the newspapers intended TO convey the

proves the extremes to which faction.
alism will resort in order to sustain
itself. The ex-president did not
make public utterance while passing
through Iowa that can be construed
as favoring any faction of the party,
and reports to the daily papers to
the effect that such utterances were
made are pure fabrications. The col.
ored reports made by John Snure,
correspondent for the Des Moines
Register and Leader, to the effect that
Roosevelt spoke in behalf of the pro.

BEN SMITH HAS
A NARROW ESCAPE
Auto In Which He and Two Gentlemen
Were Riding Drops Into
ss Creek.
.MADE q DRoP Ga FIFTEEN FEEr
Accident Happens Near Woodblne on
Saturday Night mo Warning
That Bridge Was Missing.

Ben Smith, driving his forty horse
power Oakland touring car. with Bers
ME Moeller and another young man
from Council Bluffs, met with what
might have proved q very serious &C
cident and they are all congratulat-
ing themselves that they were not
killed.
Ben Smith had his car In the repair
shop at the Bluffs and last Friday he,
together with other members Of his
family, went down to Council Bluffs
to drive the car home. Just before
leaving Mr.. Smith told his wife she
had better take the train as there
was possibility that It would be late
when they arrived home. Late In the
afternoon Ben Smith, Bernie Moeller
and the other young man started from
the Bluffs. They arrived in Woodbine
about nine o'clock and just after
crossing the Northwestern tracks the
accident occurred. Is seems the old
bridge crossing the stream had been
torn out and temporary bridge had
been built to one side but no warning
or signal was displayed showing the
old bridge to have been removed. The
car bounded over the embankment and
down some Is feet, Mr.. Smith landing
under one side Of the car and Mr..
Larson being pinned under the back
seat and Bernie Moeller was thrown
some 20 feet and landed uninjured.
Mr.. Smiths leg was injured and Mr..
Larson sustained a broken arm. The
machine was completely demolished
and was left where it landed. while the
gentlemen walked to Woodbine and
caught train for home.
| We understand Mr.. Smith will start
proceedings for damages against Har.
rison county. He and his party Ger
Itainly had narrow escape from death
and they do not care to repeat the
Jump.

|of the writer as Mr.. Roosevelt's
speeches will show. The report sent
out by the Denison correspondent OF
the Register and Leader that the
crowd here nominated Mr.. Roosevelt
for president in 1912 is another ex.
ample Of exaggeration. There may
have been some one who gave utter.
ance to q thought Of this kind, but II
no more reflected the sentiment Of the
crowd than II, someone had spoken
the same concerning Mr.. Byran.
The Dentson crowd did not repair
to the station for the purpose Of nom.
mating president or doing any 9th
Ter intemperate thing. The only pur.
pose was to see and hear the distin-
guished ex-president Of the United
States.
Mr.. Roosevelt may later declare him
self in favor Of one faction or the other
lot the republican party. but not since
his return from abroad has he up to
this time said anything that commits
him in any way to policy dividing
the republican party or encouraging
factionalism in It.
In substance. the following Is what
he said while at Denison:
Iowa is the state In which people
are, fortunately. typical Of what the
American people should be-" he said.
"In fact. they place the general. in.
terests before the special interests
This. my friends. is the problem that
Is before the American people today;
we must subordinate special interests
to the public good.
Il want to stand for the corpora
tions when, they are right, so that
they can have conditions under which
they can earn dividends, but corpora.
|tions are not entitled to the owner
ship Of any public man.
Here in Iowa. the conditions Of
your life have been such that 1 fee
that this state affords a peculiarly
Favorable field for work. We must
put the nation and keep the nation
on the plane = must be put and kept
| II we are to continue to make the
great republic Of the west what /,
must be made, the greatest example
THAT the world has ever seen Of sue
cessful popular government, Of gov
ernment by and for the people.
Il believe In your crops, in you
Isoil, but believe more in your peo
lple. 1t is the men and women thai
are the best crop Of your state. Wher
you speak of the general virtue, yol

Individual man."

A Weighty Reason.

Before a certain gentleman sci out for
Japan and India his relatives gave him
errands. One wanted an Indian shawl,
another a silver Buddha, third a chry-
selephantine carving, and so on, till the
list of commissions was appalling. He
agreed, however, TO fill them so far as
possible.
But when he returned he had executed
but one OF the nineteen commissions thai
had been given him. He had brought
back only the chryselephantine carving
This he gave to one smiling cousin amid
the disappointed looks of the other rel
atives. Why, the disappointed ones
asked, had he executed that one rarticu-
lar commission and disregarded the rest?
The traveller smiled. at happened, "
he began quietly, that each OF you had
written your commission on sheet Of
paper. On the second day OF the voyage
out took all these sheets OF paper from
my notebook, opened them and spread
them on my lap as Ireclined in my steam
er chair
"The air was very still at the time, but
suddenly brisk wind sprang up, and
every sheet was blown away except that
ofCousin Max. Max's sheet was weight
ed down with the gold coin he rad given
me TO pay for his carving"

But, still, he took her upon his knee,

A New Worlds Record Cow.

HoIstein-Friesian cow, finished her six
months test on July IS, producing II, ,0OS.S
pounds, an average OF 93.4 pounds OF
milk daily for 1S2 days. This is equivalent
to 46.7 quarts, or Il 6 gallons every day.
Her highest record for one day was ll0.2
pounds. This record is the more remark
able because no special preparation had
been made for this teStand Josephine has
done her full duty in the regular dairy
herd of the university, having had five
calves in five and one-half years.
Not only has this record smashed all
previous worlds records for milk produc-
ton, but the per cent of butter fat is in
creasing daily, so that, barring accidents,
his COW will undoubtedly produce more
butter during period of II months than
any other COW that has ever been tested
in the world.
This COW is but one OF number of re-
markable COWS owned by the University
of Missouri and maintained solely for the
instruction of its students in agriculture
and for investigational purposes. Only

or Is per cent of the total number are
owned and were bred by this Missouri

Josephine's record exceeds the present
worlds record for six months by l,458
pounds.

Missed The Squeak.

Some persons like one sort OF shoes
and some another, but the kind which
was desired by Pierre, the French Ca
madam mill hand, has never enjoyed
wide popularity.
"Shoes for Sunday" Pierre stated to
the young man who advanced TO meet
him as he entered the salesroom OF The
big shoe factory.
He then sat heavily down on one oi
the red plush seats and allowed the sales
man to insert his feet in pair OF bright
yellow shoes. When they were faidy
on, Pierre stood, moved his feet this way
and that, took few steps and, shaking
his head. SAT down again.
"What's the matter2" asked the clerk.
"Do they hur you7 Are they too tight"
Pierre shook his head violently.
."She no tight" he said, but also she
no talk. Shoes for Sunday must talk,
