The school at the Center closed
very pleasant term Saturday after
noon, June II, with picnic in the
school yard to which the parents and
friends were invited. Among these
were two octogenarians, Mrs. Ada
line -Sturtevant and Mrs. Calista
Watriss, great grandmothers to some
OF the pupils. The scholars gave a
little entertainment consisting OF
motion songs by the little ones,
readings, recitations, ETC., in the
school room, after which all adjourn
ed to the yard, where cake, ice
cream and candy was served. Their
school was increased this spring by
the addition OF five little ones from
five to seven years of age, no one OF
whom had mark during the term
the three little Gibsons, Arthur,
Howard and Vivian, and Katharine
and Dustin Bagley. These little
ones have made beginning in the
right direction. The three Barbour
children, Christie, Hazel and Har-
old, were also perfect in attendance
and department. Oliver Murphy
was obliged to lose two days, the
first in the six terms with the present
teacher. Riley Murphy, SO far ss
can be asce,tained, has not been alb
sent for thirteen terms. We wonder
IL there is parallel case in the
town. Every teacher will appreciate
what it means to have the scholars
present at every session. Alice M.
Miller, teacher.

DEATH OF WIN. eRAoDY.
One-1i Resident of Denison Dies
at His Home in Caiifornia-Was
City Marshal Of Denison.

Many of the older citizens of Deni-
son will remember William Brady,
who was city marshal of Depison in
1880, and who lived in the property
now owned by Mrs. Henry Lehfeldt
at the corner of Broadway and Lo-
Gust streets. From the Glendora
California; eleanor we copy notice
OF his death, which occurred at Glen
dora on Sunday. July 22d. After leav-
ing Denison Mr.. Brady went to Ne
braska in 1883. He had many friends
here, and those now living will be
panied to learn of his death.
"The Reaper gathered ruthlessly
from our little village this week. Sun
day morning the spirit of William
Brady was taken from the sight Of
his loved ones, and into the great be-
yond. Kind friends arranged the last
sad rites that attended the laying of
the remains in their last resting place
in OakdaIe cemetery. The funeral
on Tuesday afternoon was held from
the home, where Rev. Robt. Grieve
spoke a few words OF hope and con-
ISOLATION. At the cemetery the Masons,
|of when Mr.. Brady was member,
conducted the services.
William Brady was born at
Marshalltown, Iowa, in 1S47, and re
moved to Nebraska in 1888. In 1871
lie was married to Carrie Eckles, a
daughter OF the late Captain Eckles,
|of Glendora, and to them were born
five children. Twelve years ago Mr..
Brady came 10 Glendora and pul-
chased ranch east of town near the
old Eckles estate, where he resided
until a year ago, when he moved into
town and engaged in the real estate
business with Jacob Epler. He was
taken sick the first day OF July, and
though his condition was rather puz-
cling to the attending physician, hopes
were entertained of his recovery un-
til the last.
"He leaves besides his widow, two
daughters, Mrs. Edna Russell, and
Mrs Bessie Hawkins, and three grand
children, Don and William Russell,
and Phyllis Hawkins. Three sisters
and two brothers in .he east also sur
vive him."

One Daughter, Fern, May Live-Had

Especial to The Review.
Mr.. A. +. johnson, his wife and two
daughters, Dorothy and Florence, were
killed outright and another daughter,
r'ern, Is in hospital at Sioux City,
where she may recover, as result
Of an auto accident last Thursday
morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. F. Johnson and
three daughters, Dorothy, Fern and
Florence, after a weeks visit at the
home Of Grandpa I. Michaelson in
Kiron, started last Thursday morning
in their auto for their return home to
Akron, Iowa. Reaching Galva, they
met with disaster that nearly wiped
out the entire family. Just as they
were leaving town on the road west.
they had to cross the railroad track
and a freight train on the side track
moving towards the crossing which
the auto at good speed was apprOach+
ing, drew their attention and as-it
appears the occupants were watching
the same and failed to see the ap-
preaching east-bound passenger, which
was coming at good rate OF speed.
Just before coming onto the crossing
there is deep cut which hides the
view down the track for those on the
public road, as we'll as for the en-
gineers. The auto, going at good
speed, was struck by the engine and
was carried some 100 feet, when il
was released and pitched down the
|embankment. The car was complete
ly wrecked and the unfortunate occu-
pants terribly bruised and injured.
Mrs. Johnson and daughter, Dorothy,
were carried some 600 feet. on the
pilot Of the engine, where they were
found when the train was stopped.
Mrs. Johnson was dead and Dorothy
expired shortly afterwards. The faith
er was picked up and taken back to

sky-scrapers, close enough we should
judge to talk with the eager spec
|tators who were looking out of the
tenth and twelfth story windows.
! One thing which was particularly
noticeable was the steadiness of these
ships of the air. The big biplanes
carrying three people, would sail
through the air for several miles, go
ling apparently on the same level all
the time and riding just as steadily
as if on asphalt pavement.
The monop}anes gave daring and
beautiful exhibitions. The French
boat would 60 high in the air and then
glide down thousands OF feet in few
seconds, and one could hear the inter.
fmittent droning of the big fans as the
driver turned his power on and off.
The worst frightened things were
the lake birds. A lone big goose
sailed in from the north and an en-.
|thusiastic driver took after 1t with
his biplane. The goose let out few
links of speed and for a few moments
there was a beautiful race of man
against bird. 1t is safe to bet that it
was mighty we'll scared goose.
The maneuvers of the airships are
simply marvellous. In the alighting
contest one aviator stopped his boat
just a little more than foot from
the mark made by the judges. At
times it seemed that crashes were in.
evitable as biplane swooped and
curved among the buildings close to
the ground, but quick turn and one
could see that the driver had his ma
chine. perfectly in hand. Sometimes
the machines ran so low that they ap-
peared to be running over the heads
of the thousands who filed the grand
stands The crowd was worth seeing.
Saturday the official estimate was
3O9, 900 spectators. The Sunday crowd
must have been nearly twice as large.
The prizes for the week amount to
$4,000, and the receipts from the
grandstands amountsto about $4,000
a day. Thousands of visitors are be-
ing attracted to Chicago and the
meeting is worth the trip even from
so far as Denison. 1t is the greatest
meet the world has ever known. The
grounds are ideal and world records
are being broken every day.
Talk aboutsyour autos, they are back
numbers. Talk about your good
roads; pretty soon we will need no
roads and live advertisers will be
putting up their signs in the sky, not
to attract the people down below,
but to be read by the tourists over
head.

:. A Union Sabbath School at
Paradise Center.

From reports there will be from now
on fourishing Sabbath school in
Paradise township. Last Sunday there
was a gathering of forty people liv-
ing near the Center school house. Rev.
Calkins. the Congregational pastor of
Arion, had spent previously two days
among the homes and found a decided
feeling for a school. He invited Mr..
Ghas. K. Meyers, the county Sabbath
school secretary, to assist in the or
ganization. There was the best of
feeling and mueh enthusiasm. After
singing. >the plan of the work was set
forth by Rev. Calkins and Mr.. Meyers.
On election of officers, Rev. Calkins
consented to drive out from Arion and
be superintendent. Miss Belle Bran
ley will be secretary and Miss Dolly
Malone treasurer. Next Sunday after
noon at three there will be a short
preaching service. Those interested
feel that this school will continue
right along.
