BEFORE INSANE COMMISSIONERS
Young Man From Near Manila Is
Brought Before Commission and
Given a Hearing.

On Tuesday morning Richard Leuth,
living in the vicinity of Manila, was
brought before the insane commission,
charged with insanity and hearing
was had to determine whether or not
he was a fit subject for treatment at
the hospital for the insane at Clarinda.
After the hearing, in which several
witnesses we're examined, the COM
missioners adjudged him fit subject
for the asylum. The young man is
twenty-seven years of age and is, un-
married. 1t is suggested that his trou-
bler grew out of an infatuation for one
of the teachers in the Manila school.
He was accompanied to the asylum by
Deputy Sheriff Savery and P. F. Blair,
of Manila.

PRESIDENT c. |. voss.
Is Elected President Of Farmers State
Bank at Charter Oak to Succeed
c. T. Marshall, Resigned.

At the semiannual meeting of the
Farmers State Bank of Charter Oak,
held yesterday afternoon, G. L. Voss,
of this city, was elected president of
the bank to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of c. 7. Marshall,
which was accepted by the directors.
Mr.. Voss is one of the well-known bus
mess men of western Iowa, and while
he has been connected with the bank
for some time, he has not heretofore
held any Office in connection with it..
His successful career in business and
his large landed interests in Craw-
ford county commend him as a suit
able person for the position. The con-
dition of the bank was found to be sat
isfactory and prosperous and we have
no doubt but what It's successful rec

Notwithstanding the gloomy reports
that one hears about crop conditions
in Iowa, a trip into the country will
convince anyone that there is no Oc-
casion for growing hysterical about
the prospects of the crops in this
county. While the crop of small grain
will not be the equal of what it was
last year, there is every prospect for
an extraordinary crop Of corn, and
with a reasonable amount of moisture.
we are sure of bumper crop. II
other sections of the country were as
fortunate as this portion of Iowa there
would be little reason for complaint
of a crop failure. We predict that
the crop raised in Crawford county
this year will net the farmers prac-
tically ss much as the crop raised last
year.

NIGHT pRowLERs At WORK.
Two Men Seen at schiumberger Res
idence, but Are Frightened Away
Marshal Appears.

Z Last evening at about $3.50 Mrs. Ed
Reimers noticed two men prowling
around the Phil Schlumberger resi-
dence on East Broadway. Mrs. REIN
ers was sitting on her porch across
the stret from. the Schlumberger
home and noticed the two men walk
Ing around the house. They were dis
turbed several times by passing auto
mobiles throwing light upon them. She
at. once telephoned to Mr.. Schlumber-
ger who, with Marshal Weeks, went
to the scene. A careful investigation
was made of the premises, but no in
could be found that the house
had been entered. 1T is thought that
whoever the parties were, knew that
the Schlumbergers were away and
were taking advantage of the fact.

Into Ditch Near Arion.

On Friday last a wreck occurred on
the Northwestern railroad between
Arion and Dow City, about ten rods
east of the Boyer bridge, with the re-
suit that four cars we're thrown from
the track. The train was a fruit and
meat train, bound from Omaha to Chi
cago. The wreck occurred on account
of drawbar coming out of place. The
accident happened about noon and it
required all of the afternoon to clear
the track. A number of the North

Mr.. w. H. DeBea, of the Redpath-

Denison Friday and Saturday of last
week. Mr.. DeBea was very popular
with the boys and girls OF the city, as
he spent most of his time among them,
creating interest for the coming Chau-
tauqua by giving away scout caps and
sending up balloons. Several season
tickets were attached to the balloons
and also a number of single admission
tickets, which entitled the finder of
them to free admission to the Chau-
tauQua.

more hopeful view OF life since meet

who up to the time OF meeting Madame

now fiattered with the belief that they.
are capable OF accomplishing great
feats in the business world.

cHAuTAuouA BEGINS JULY 2ad.
Will Be Held at Washington Park As
y UsuaI-An Exceptionally Fine
Program This Year.

We call attention to the page ad.
|yertisement of the Chautauqua, which
begins July 23d and lasts one week.
An erroneous impression seems to
have gone out that the Chautauqua is
to be held in the Brotherhood park
in the city. We desire to emphasize
the fact that there is no foundatio
for this claim. The Chautauqua will
be held this year., as usual, in Wash
ington park, and the first entertain
ment is on Saturday night, the 22d of
July, when William Jennings Bryan
will deliver. one of his famous lectures.
We understand that tickets are
meeting ready sale. One dollar and
fifty cents admits the bearer to each
and every entertainment during the
entire week. If one should attend
a lecture delivered either by Mr..
Bryan or Joseph w. Folk in a city he
would expect to pay practically what
it costs to hear the full list of en-
tertainments which will be furnished
during Chautauqua week. With such
talent as these two distinguished lee
turers and with the score of other at
fractions advertised to be furnished,
it will be full weeks entertainment.
We sincerely hope that the people
from other towns in the county and
the country will avail themselves of
the opportunities of the Chautauqua
this year.

Since the new sprinkler was in
stalled at least four different oper-
ators have had charge of it. One of
them lost his position because his
patriotism was of such a character
that he thought it out of place to have
to sprinkle the streets on the fourth
of July. Others in turn have given
up the work because of objections
which appeared to be insurmountable.
The latest man on the job is Mills,
and he seems to be making good. We
think it is a mistake to have changes
made so often.

life has been dispaired OF. We un-

holding her own. She has every COM

affection for her, can provide. Her
extreme age and the unfavorable
weather initiate against her speedy
recovery. We hope to be able by next

FAVOR LIMITED
AMOUNT OF PAVING.
Many People Of Our City Not in Favor
of Over Ten or Twelve Blocks
Of Paving This Year.
IN KIND or PAVING
Large Majority Of Business Men in
Favor Of Brick in Preference to
Other Kinds Of Paving.

There is good deal of. muttering
on the part of the people of the town
on account of the large number Of
blocks designated by the council for
paving. There is no Disgusting the
fact that it is the judgment of large
number of people that too much paw
ing has been undertaken by the coun-
Gil for this year. 1t is safe to assert
that eighty per cent or more of the
people prefer that not over ten or
twelve blocks shall be paved this year,
and If larger amount is undertaken,
a vigorous protest will be made.
The Review is not the advocate OF
any faction in the matter, but under
takes to convey to it's readers what it
finds to be the sentiment of the COM
munity with respect to this project.
There are those who contend against
any paving, and there are some
who would extend it beyond what
the council has decided upon, but the
great majority Of the people are in
favor of limited amount of paving
only for this year. Perhaps the recon-
mendation of the Commercial club in
regard to the amount of paving ex-
presses the extent to which the peo-
pie would prefer to go.
Quite an interest is being taken in
the kind Of paving to be adopted.
There are those who advocate btu
lithic and others who are bitterly op-
posed to it and in favor of the brick
plan. It is probably true that large
majority Of the business men of the
town are in favor Of brick as against
the other plan.
/ It is, up to the council to decide how,
much paving shall be had and also the
kind of paving to be adopted, and we
have no doubt but that before the mat
ter is decided very full Investigation
will be made and conclusion reached
which, will reflect the good judgment
of the several members of the. council.

telephone and electric light poles on
the streets of the city came up before
the council week ago and after some
discussion was put over for the spec
ial meeting of the council on Friday
night of last week, when, ON invita-
ton, representatives of the two COM
panies were present and heard before
the council.
The matter was discussed from
every STANDPOINT and especially 4
business standpoint, both on the part
Of the companies and the city council,
and without much difficulty con-
clusion was reached, which perhaps
under all the circumstances. is the best
solution that could have been made of
the matter. While the representatives
of the companies, as well as the mem
bers of the council, recognized that on
the business streets, where paving is
to be done, the poles will have to come
out of the cutters, there was no sug-
gestion of placing the wires under
ground, for the reason that the town
is not large enough nor is there suf-
ficient traffic on the streets to justify
such move at the extraordinary ex-
pense which would have to be in
Cured in order to carry out this pur-
pose. There was some consideration
given to the suggestion Of moving the
poles into the alleys, but this was
found impracticable because in some
blocks there are no alleys where the,
poles could be located. !.
When both the companies and the
city recognized that the poles stand
ing in the cutters wouA shave to be
removed. = plan was decided upon
which was favored by a majority of
the council and agreed to by the COM
panies, that in the business portion of
the city new symmetrical poles of uni
form size and length should be used
and placed in the sidewalk at proper
distance from the curb and that wires
shall not be carried diagonally across
the streets as has been the case in
some instances in the past. Under
the arrangement agreed upon there
will be nothing to mar the appearance
of the city and at the same time the
problem will be worked out in way
so that the property of the companies
will not be confiscated because of the
expense of locating their poles and
stretching their wires in the city. The
members of the council, as we'll as
the companies, are to be congratulat-
ed upon the application of business
methods towards the settlement of the
question in dispute.

CURED on Saturday and Monday east
of Marshalltown, which made the
roads impossible for automobiles.
The officers of the rans-Continent-
al Route association, extending from
Clinton to Council Bluffs. decided
some time ago to have the meeting at
MarshalltOwn, and every effort was
made to advertise it and secure as
large an attendance as possible. The
plan was to have the cars from the
western part of the state leave Coun.
Gil Bluffs on Monday morning and run
to Jefferson, where program was to
be carried out on Monday night. On
Tuesday the trip was to be made from
Jefferson to Narshalltown, after
which the meeting was to be held. The
plan was carried out in a way, but
there was SO little interest taken in
the matter that when the cars should
have reached Denison on schedule
time Monday, there was but one, lone
car came into Denison from the west.
There were half dozen cars started
from DenisOn, all of which ran through
to Jefferson, and some of them on to
Marshalltown. BY the time the party
had reached Jefferson there were per-
haps a dozen cars In the procession.
From Jefferson to Marshalltown there,
was good showing made with per-
haps thirty or forty cars In all. g
Disappointment came from the
fact that large number Of autoists
from Clinton, Cedar Rapids and other
points east of Marshailtown were. pre-
vented from bringing their cars on ac-
count of heavy rains which occurred
a day or two before the meeting. Many
of the good roads enthusiasts, how
ever, took the train and came to the
meeting, leaving their cars on the
way. Because of the absence of the
eastern cars the parade planned for
the early afternoon was not the pre-
tentious affair that it was hoped it
would be. The visiting cars from the
west were taken about the city soon
after they reached Marshalltown.
The business meeting was held at
two-thirty in the afternoon and at
seven-thirty last night the visitors were
the guests of the Marshailtown club at
a smoker and social evening. The
officers elected were as follows: c.
w. G. Haskell, postmaster of Cedar
Rapids, was chosen president; Mayor
G. E. Goodell. of Tama, vice-president;
w. G.. Rollins, of DenisOn, secretary,
and w. F.. Coan, of Clinton. treasurer.
There is no Disgusting the fact
that want of interest exists on the
part Of automobile owners to concen.
trate their efforts toward improving
the highways. The officers of the as
sociation made heroic effort to en-
list the aid of the people with cars in
the Marsha iltown- meeting a
great success. and there should have
been double or treble the number of
cars from western Iowa at the meet
ing. Denison instead of sending five
or six cars should have sent not less
than fifteen or twenty.
