PIONEER MERCHANT DEAD.
Former Denison Merchant Dies at
MarshaI!town, Iowa, After
Long and Useful Life.

Denison friends were greatly grieved
this week to learn of the death of Mr..
D. NJ. Goodale, formerly one of the
prominent merchants of Denison. He
and his excellent family will be we'll
remembered by all the old-time resi-
dents of this city. Mr.. Goodale was
a kindly, honest and honorable man,
always Industrious and always true
to himself and to his friends. In
MarshalltoWn he became one of the
hOnOred and most highly respected
citizens of the place and he was known
and loved by all the people of that city.
Our sincere sympathy is extended to
the noble wife and the son and daugh-
ter who survive him.

VERY SATISFACTORY PLAY.
''The Lion and the Mouse" Presented
by the United Play Company,
Well Received by Large House.

The United Play company presented
"The Lion and the Mouse" to packed
house at the Germania opera house in
this city on Monday evening. This
company came to Denison highly rec
commended and each member Of the
company sustained their reputation as
actors and actresses of considerable
merit. The plot of the play in itself
is excellent, and as the delineation of
character by each individual of the
company was fine, the play was all
that could be expected. Nearly every
one who was present Monday evening
pronounces it to be the best that has
ever been played in Denison, and all
are loud in their praise of this excel
lent company.
Barborka's orchestra are to be COM
mended for the beautiful selections
rendered at this performance.
The management of the opera house
are to be congratulated on being able
to bring such high-class play here,
and we trust that the success of this
one will prove an incentive and prompt
them to put forth their best efforts
to secure a number of other standard
plays for Denison this winter.

''The Prodigal Judge is the product

"The Prodigal Judge is the product
of the ripest culture of both mind and
heart. In every detail of it we are
impressed by the writer's competence,
clean vision, sensibility and firm yet
flexible handling of the material
There is wealth of quaint, dry south
ern wit that runs through the story
some quick dramatic touches OF
pathos, and throughout delightful
note of tenderness. One lays the book
aside with the feeling of having lis
tened to great music and of having
walked in an old-fashioned garden"

next issue of the Review. Don't fail

CALLED TO ToLsToY.
Rev. SchonIaben, German N. e. Pastor,
Is Sent to the Russian Colony
in Potter County, S. D.

Rev. Schonlaben, who has been pas
tor of the German Methodist church
here for the past two years, has been
transferred by the church authorities
to Tolstoy, S. D. He was chosen be-
cause Of his superior qualifications
for the work there.
1t would appear that some one hun
dred and twenty-five years ago there
was an immigration of Germans from
the kingdom of Wittenburg over into
Russia. In time colony of these peo-
pie heard of the possibilities of free
America for making money and secur-
ing religious freedom and there was
an migration to Potter county, S.
D. What was more natural than that
the town established should be called
"Tolstoy." There was need of a pas
tor who could do the best work among
these Germans, whose ancestors came
from Wittenburg. Happily for the
conference and for these people Rev.
SchOnlaben is a native OF that king
dom and so he was the man above all
others to fill the pastorate. There is
a big colony, lots of work to be done,
a large church to build, and fired with
the prospect of labor for the cause,
he has gone to the new field. He is
a man OF superior spiritual power, and
it is certain his work will be heard
from among his kinsmen of the Rus
sian colony near Tolstoy.

From the Daily Iowan, a paper pub

we learn that two of Crawford coun.
TVS boys have been chosen to assist

Bell, of Dow City, will endit Depart
mental and Rowland Philbrook the
Military department. The Iowan says:
"The staff chosen by Editor Seydel
is an unusually efficient one. Nearly
every social and literary organization
IN the university is represented by a
member of the staff. Each person, too.
has been chosen for his or her COM
potency to fill the position and it is
sincerely desired by Mr.. Seydel that
his selections meet with appreciation
OF the entire class. Work on the an
nual has already begun and each
member of the staff will be assigned
work by the editor-in-chief within a

The city council held a short session
last evening, only three of the four
members being present. An electrolier
was ordered placed on the south side
of Broadway near Mr. Rachwitz's
meat market, the property owners in
that vicinity agreeing to pay for the
electricity used. 1t was also decided
to pay for the electricity used by the
electrolier at the Crawford County
State bank. At this meeting the use
of the streets was granted the Wood
men of the World, who will hold a
barbecue on November I'd. Mr.. Peter
Krauth, whose daughter was injured
some time ago on defective walk,
was allowed $69.15 in payment of the
physicians bill incurred during the

S. S. WORK IN CRAWFORD.
The County Sunday School Secretary
Reports Much Activity in the
Work in Country Schools

Mr.. Chas. X. Meyers, the county Sun
day school secretary, is able to report
that there is most encouraging work
going on in the country i'll the teach
ing of the bible. The latest school
to be organized is at district nine in
Boyer township. Here, with Mrs.
Chapman as superintendent and Mr..
c. M. Peterson and others as helpers,
an earnest organization has been
made. The success of the Paradise
Center school is wonderful, for here
the attendance is up to fifty and over
every Sunday. Rev. Calkins, of Arion,
is the leader, and he is general IN
the work. Mr.. Meyers visited this
school last Sabbath. The temperance
pledge has been literally signed and
is on the wall. The school is to have
new song books and the prospects for
the future are most encouraging.
At Coon Grove Mr.. Bear is faithful
ly experimenting school with an at
tendance of twenty to thirty. The
school, founded by Rev. Creson, of
Dow City, at North Grove in Union
township, is active, the christians of
the neighborhood carrying on the
work after the pastor could not come
regularly. Mr. Meyers plans to visit
this school next Sunday.
Over on the Willow there are two
schools under one management doing
good work. Rev. LaReau, the county
president, is making plans for a series
of Sabbath school institutes before
the winter season is over.

BLUFFS GOOD ON FORWARD PASS
Nonpareil Says Denison Boys Took
Defeat Gracefully and Behavior
Was Credit to School.

The Denison players outweighed the
Bluffs eleven by about ten pounds to
the man, but nevertheless our boys
met defeat by score of II to 8. The
Denison boys played the Old style game
and they seemed unable to solve the
Bluffs forward passes. Council Bluffs
scored the first touchdown shortly af-
ter the beginning of the second quar-
ter, rushing the ball down the field
on four successive forward passes,
Robinson going over the line. Goal
was missed. The teams lined up again
and Denison steered the ball on Coun-
Gil Bluffs ten-yard line and shortly
placed the pigskin on the other side OF
Denison's goal. Council Bluffs kicked
goal this time. The Denison boys
braced up and secured the ball on the
Bluffs thirty-yard line on a fumbled
forward pass. They didn't seem able
to gain much ground by line smashes,
so Brodersen kicked pretty goal
and the half ended with the score II
to in favor of the Bluffs.
The second half the Denison boys
awoke to the situation and rushed the
ball down the field for touchdown in
three minutes of play, but were un-
able to kick goal The boys tried
hard for another touchdown, but the
Bluffs line held when the downs were
needed worst.
The lineup of the teams was as fol.

Below we print an article which ap-
neared in Sundays Nonpareil, which
is a compliment to our boys:
"The Denison players were clean
and game bunch of young men and
took their defeat gracefully. Their
behavior was credit to their school.
"A deplorable feature of the game
was an assault upon one Of the Deni-
son rooters by member OF the local
team. The incident occurred after
the play had terminated in the crowd,
and the matter, according to the
Bluffs mans story is that the Denl-
son rooter announced his intention to
kill one Of the Bluffs jlayers. The
Bluffs man struck him, cutting deep
cash above one of his eyes. Such
conduct by one of the local players
can be justified by no possible circum-
stances and it is to be hoped that any
repetition of such an incident will be
met with the most stringent measures
possible"

Will Pay Directly.
The plan contemplateS payment d.
rect by checks mailed to the last ad-
dress of the pensioner. Besides the
Endorsement OH the back of these
checks, the government would require
certificates by two witnesses as to
identity. In few instances, Commits
sioner Davenport said, vouchers still
would be required.
Commissioner Davenport told of his
efforts to ascertain the truthfulness of
reports in the press and elsewhere
that the pension roll was honey
combed with fraud. He sent field men
from pensioner to pensioner in the
Washington agency, and is now doing
the same in the Knoxville agency, with
view to probing fraud. Out of

The commissioner said he believed the

any fraud that may now exist.

on the pension roll at the close of the

Juniors Will Be 1T To
Morrow Evening.

If persistent practice, backed NJ
by aD abundance of class spirit
count for anything, the play being
arranged, and at this time receiv
ing the finishing touches by tbt
Junior class of the Heppner High
School, should be one of the stsl
attractions of the season.
A few months ago the prospect
for a class play this year looked
very gloomy, but with the arrival
Of Miss Funk, new life was given
the poyement. Here was an op-
portunity for the young people to
do themselves proud, especially in
musical way, and it was decided
that the first play should consist
mainly of music. Some we're a
little skeptical on this point, as the
class is largely boys and they were
never known to behave ahy too
we'll in the music class, but they
were convinced they could sing a
little, at least, and after few good
rehearHals it was found that they
could sing quite bit. Now they
are convinced that they can sing
and do some other things of an
interesting nature, and all they
ask is that you come out and give
them a chance to show you what
they can do.
Besides a program of bright,
popular songs, a farce entitled, "a
String of Pearls" has been worked
up and will be presented for your
amusement and entertainment to-
morrow evening.
1t you want to enjoy a pleasant
evening and at the same time pre-
mote worthy cause, "put on your
old gray bonnet" and hike to Rob-
erts hall tomorrow, (Friday) eve
ming. deposit your 35 cents at the
ticket window and then remain
silent-the Juniors will make the
fuss.
P. S. If you haven't purchased
a ticket you will have to hurry, for
they are selling fast.
