DENiSON BOYS LOSE.
Hiqh School Boys Go to Charter Oak
to Play Baseball and Meet
With Defeat.

The Denison high school baseball
team played the Charter Oak high
school team at Charter Oak Saturday
afternoon, with the result that Char
ter Oak won an easy victory over our
boys. At the end of the ninth inning
the score stood to 3, in favor OF the
yak 1t was the first game for the
Denison boys and for the amount Of
practice that they have had they did
exceptionally we'll. For some reason
the Denison boys were unable to swat
the ball in a safe place, for it seemed
that every time they made hit a
Charter Oak man was planted right
there and caught it, The boys have a
good team and we predict that the
next game will result in victory for
them.

Collection Month for Treasurer

season in the Office of County Treas
urer Louie Evers. During that month
Mr.. Evers and his deputy, John Hugg.
collected the large sum Of $153, lO4.9o

amount the state received the follow
ing sums: State, $11,1O2.23: state col
lege, $672.74; state university, s672.74;
state normal, $336.37 The total state
insane was $1,6S2.13. The town of
Denison drew in January SS,177.75 and

the children, warning the parents also
to safeguard the morals of their chill

them to their destiny.

Pioneer Business Man of Bluffs and
Well Known in Oenison Died in
Council Bluffs Saturday.

The meeting of the Commercial
club ON Friday night, coming so soon
after the banquet, was not as numer-
ously attended as usual. The members
felicitated themselves upon the sue
cessful banquet held a week before,
when Superintendent Hammil and
other officials OF the Northwestern
were the guests OF the club. The sup
erintendent visited Denison Thurs
day last and received many congrat-
ulations for having No. l2 stop in re-
sponse tc tie univ ersal sentiment of the
community. He promises other re-
forms demanded by the people here,
and We have no doubt but what they
will come in time. Everybody is glad
the banquet was held and the hope is
expressed that an invitation to the
Illinois Central officials may be ex-
tended in the near future.
At the last meeting of the CONNER
cial club number of the business men
expressed themselves that the res
OlutiOn of necessity, which was passed
by the council recently, should be
changed to extend the paving the full
width of the business streets and not
less than thirty-two feet on the res

teringly OF their reception and enter
tainment while in our city. The Den

earnest workers in Des MoineS con-

While Mr.. Finneran, who lives on
the farm known as the Henry Smell
place in Goodrich township, was in
Denison yesterday, he was notified by
phone that a fire had broken out in his
home. The fire was located IN one OF
the upper sleeping rooms, but how it
originated is a mystery. n plausible
theory advanced is that a vest hanging
near window had blown against the
window, causing it to come down on
so1re matches in one of the pockets,
and from these the lace curtain TOOK
fire. Aside from damage to new wall
paper, some bedding and curtains the
loss was small.

known resident of Denison, died at his
home on East fremont street at four
o'clock a. m. Tuesday, cancer of the
liver being the cause of death. Mr..
Smith was born in Ohio in the year

Veterans fired salute.
Eli H. Smith came to Iowa at an
early age and when nineteen years OF
age or in August, 1862, he became a
private in Company H, 26th Iowa In
fantry, joining at Davenport. He
served until June 19, 1865, when he
was honorably discharged having
served something over two years.
1t was while in hospital at Daven-
port that he met Miss Sallie B. Owens,
: who was attending brother, ill from
the effects of war. This friendship
ripened into love, and on September
II, 1864, they were married. To this
union four children were born: Emma,
now Mrs. c. Thew, Creston, Wash;
Lou, now Mrs. 0. M. Campbell, Den
yer, Colo; Isabel married to Mr.. Adj
son Hapgood, Denver, and since de-
ceased, and William W., Of Boise,
Idaho. A sister, Mrs. Mccullough,
lives at jefferson, Iowa, and was in
attendance at the funeral.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith came to Deni-
son in 1872 and have since resided
here, and where he followed his trade.
that OF painter and paper hanger.
In 1882 he joined John A. Logan Post
G. A. r., and was always an active
and enthusiastic member. Last Sep
tember failing health prompted him
to go to Hot Springs, S. d.. where he
remained for some time, but without
regaining health. Since his return
home he had been rapidly failing and
the end, coming, as it did in early
morning, was welcomed by a severe
sufferer. In life Mr.. Smith had numer-
GUS friends, and these friends extend
coincidence to the widow and children.

At the hospitable home of Mr..

evening of July 10th, a number
of invited guests assembled for
a surprise party, given in honor
of our pastor, Rev. w. H. Ger
many; we anxiously awaited his
coming and on his arrival as he
was ushered into our presence
the dim lights were frightened
and we beheld a face that wore
smile of bewilderment. After
being seated a number of small
gifts were presented him, as a
mark of love and remembrance.
In an urbane way he expressed
his gratitude. After being en-
tertained by lovely strains of
music and other enjoyments, we
were led to the dining room
which was decorated with ever
green's and cut flowers. After
delicious refreshments were
served we proceeded to further
the pleasure of the evening. As
the happy guests made their
way homeward and the merry
peals of laughter grew fainter
as it drifted into the voice Of thu
night, we were made to feel tina
it was surprise indeed.

rem showed they had been well
drilled, for they kept together
and did splendid work for the
cause, though they were a tired
band of little folks by night.
They did valuable work though
the city did give a majority
against their cause Of seventeen.
1t was plain that the voter who
loved his whiSkey could not be
induced to vote for dry state,
but it will come in time. The
other side voted this class nearly
solid against the amendment.
The ladies brought dinner and
served it in the Zachery building
near the polls to the children
and all their workers.
The colored workers came
down with their band of workers
but it was not SO large as at last
election. One of the workers
stated that they had a large mum
Der of children drilling up to the
day before, when outside inhu-

who came did good and faithful
work. 1t can be said the women
and children of Jefferson did
splendid work for the cause Of
prohibition, and while they lost,
they are not discouraged, but
are ready to take up the battle
for their cause till right does
win. The temperance sentiment
is growing every day and will
continue to grow among chris
