Of the situation. The merchants long
ago realized that to prosper, the
farmers first must become successful,
and to a degree the more prosperous
the business community is, the more
valuable is the land surrounding the
town.
A Rugby hunter mistook Bert
Meyers of Williston for a deer, and
fired shot through his shoulder,
making dangerous wound.
Notwithstanding the timely advice
everybody received about putting in

He has some twenty head and will

SCHOOLS TO OPEN
NEXT MONDAY
Scarlet Fever Cases Are Very Few
and No New Ones Have
Been Quarantined.
SCHOOL ROOMS FuMIGATED
No Children From Quarantined Fam.
lilies Allowed to Enter School
Under Thirty-five Days.

Unless new cases develop between
now and Monday, the public schools
will open Monday, March Goth, as
planned. The board and teachers will
continue to use every possible precau-
ton to prevent any further spread
of scarlet fever. In order to do this,
the board has decided to follow the
old law of two years ago. That is, no
person from a quarantined family will
be allowed to enter school within thir-
ty-five days of the Date quarantine was
established. Under the present law
there is no time limit for quarantine,
and there might be cases of release
from quarantine before the peeling
was entirely complete. This ruling is
to avoid any danger from any possible
too-short quarantine.
The board has received twenty gal
Ions of formaldehyde and every room
and hallway in all the buildings will
be thoroughly fumigated before Mon
day. Every one who has been quaran-
tined, or who has been living in Ia
quarantined home, should read the
notice published in another column,
with reference to requirements for re-
entering school.

PAVING ADVOCATES
TALK BEFORE CLUB
Representatives Urge Using Of Bitu.
ithic Paving on the Main
Streets Of Denison.
THE CLUB TAKES NO ACTION
But Many Were Impressed With the
Showing Made and Action Will
Probably Be Taken.

On Friday night representatives of
the Warren Paving company appeared
before large meeting of the CONNER.
cial club and gave an interesting talk
on the subject Of street paving gener-
ally and the merits of their own prod
uct, bitulithic paving in particular.
They guaranteed that the cost of
paving would not exceed $500 per
square yard, that it would last life
time with the traffic of Denison and
that it could be easily repaired and
with little expense. They told of
numerous cities, among them Perry.
Grinnell and Iowa City, where their
paving had been used with great sat
isfaction to the people. Asked as to
the advisability of starting by paving
few blocks they said it would be
much cheaper to advertise large
enough contract to attract the large
concerns engaged in paving work.
In the business streets they advised
paving from curb to curb, but for res
idence streets thought a twenty-f0ur
foot pavement with two foot cutters
on each side would be sufficient. They
explained that the city must pay for
all grading and that the property own
ers must pay for the paving. Whether
the city should pay for the intersec-
tions at street corners was matter
to be decided locally. They estimated
that to pave Broadway and Main
around the Bale e-Brodersen corner
would cost that firm about $4,000. We
give this simply to give an idea of the
estimated cost. In front of 5O-foot
residence lot the cost would be in the
neighborhood Of $50. These figures
are not exact, the cost depending on

Mr.. J. P. Conner, who has been in

latter part of April.

the material used, the depth of the
concrete and of the surfacing, etc. The
representatives were put through a
rapid cross fire of questions and the
sentiment of those present seemed to
be in favor of immediate action. No
formal motion of any kind was made,
however. The company offered to take
a committee, composed of business
men and members of the city council,
to inspect the work they had done in
other cities, doing this at the expense
of the company. 1t is probable that
some such committee will be appoint
ed. 1t is also probable that COM
mittee will be appointed to estimate
the cost as nearly as possible and then
to make canvass of property owners
along the streets to be paved to ascer-
tain their sentiment in the matter. In
the discussion there was talk of paw
! ing all the uptown business streets,
;also the streets leading to the depots
land if possible to pave Broadway from
Mr.. Lally's to the college, Sweet street
its entire length, Chestnut from the
Baptist church to the high school and
Locust from the McHenry corner to
the railway. Many property owners
along the best residence streets have
signified their willingness to pave as
soon as possible. The cost could be
paid at once or in installments run
ming for seven years at six per cent
interest.
One thing which would limit the
amount of paving would be the
amount which the city would expend
under the law for grading intersec
tions and to supply deficiencies where
the property owners could not be taxed
sufficiently. Under the law real es-
tate cannot be taxed for more than
one-fourth of it's value for paving pur
poses.
The meeting has aroused good deal
of sentiment in favor of paving, sew
eral members of the city council are
in favor of it, but say they would not
order it unless majority of the prop
erty owners affected were in favor
of it.
The matter is one worthy of the
earnest consideration of our people.
The advantages to the city are many,

COMMERCIAL CLUB
ON QUARANTINE
Commercial Club Considers Attitude
Of Other Towns Concerning
Situation in Denison.
MAYOR MAKES A REPORT
Manifestos of Outside Towns Unjust
and Greatly Exaggerated-Very
Few Cases of Fever Now.

Among other matters considered by
the Commercial club at it's meeting
Friday night was that of the quaran-
tine and the effect that it had on bus
mess, and especially in regard to the
exaggerated reports which have been
spread in other towns. Mayor Laub
told the exact status of affairs and
said that he believed the cases We're
thoroughly quarantined, that the sick
list was gradually growing smaller,
that number of families were almost
ready to be released and that the dis
ease now seemed to be in mild type.
He further reported that the mayor
OF Dow City had called him up and
that he had told him the exact num-
ber of cases, and that later the Dow
City authorities had issued poster
greatly exaggerating conditions and
urging people to keep away from Den
ison. 1t was the sense of the club
that such manifestos were unjust and
unfair, that Denison has done all pos
sible to check disease and has the epi-
demic we'll in hand. That the fact
that all known cases were strictly
quarantined and that the children
were not allowed on the streets gave
every security to people wishing to
come here and that there was less
danger in Denison than in some COM
munities where the people were not
so wide awake and where the quaran-
tine laws were not so rigidly en-
forced
The mayor was requested to issue
an exact statement this week to be

SCHOOL ELECTION QUIET.
Messrs. N. 1. Hunt and Albert HeIsIey
Elected to Succeed Themselves
as School Directors.

School election Monday last passed
off quietly, there being no exciting con-
test. There were two Offices to fill,
those held by Messrs. N. l.. Hunt and
Albert Helsley, as directors. Both
gentlemen have given such universal
satisfaction that voters were loath to
make change and justly-the gentle
men named have proven very profic-
lent, have given their unstinted time
and thought to the affairs of our
schools. At the election Monday there
were Sc ballots cast, of which Mr..
Hunt received 81 votes, Mr.. Helsley
50 and Mr.. Lamborn, Denison's ever
popular young druggist, received, Z.
Not being directly interested in school
affairs, Mr.. Lamborn did not push his
candidacy to any great extent. At
this meeting the board voted $4,000
into the school house fund and $100
into the library fund.
Miss Lulu Girard, having taken a
course at the state normal, will teach

One OF the most beautiful and en-
joyabe entertainments OF the social
season was that given yesterday even
ing by Mrs. w. B. Smoot at her hand
some home or Prince street. The
parlors were decorated in yellow and
green, the library and conservatory in
red and the dining room in pink, pre-
senting a most beautiful and artistic
scene. The charming hostess was as
sisted in receiving her many guests by
Mrs. c. A. Webb and Mrs. f. P. Gator,

of this city. Assisting were Mesdames

WILL CE.AIM DOVER.

An article renouncing the provIs-
ions made for her in the will OF her
husband, Senator Stephen B. Elkins,
has been filed at the office OF the
county court clerk, F. A. Rowan, in
Elkins, w. Va. 1t is understood that
Mrs. Elksns will take the interest in
the estate allowed By IlIu laws vi ti'o
state OF West Virginia, which is one
third, which action Senator Elkins
anticipated in his will.
The effect OF this step on the part
OF the senator's widow will be to enable
her TO bestow a larger share OF the
wealth OF her husband on her own
children and will lessen the amount
which would ultimately be inherited
by the senator's children by former
wife.
The senator, in his will, provided
that all seven of his children should
share equally in the division of his
wealth. By disregarding the senator's
wishes, the widow will secure between
$1,000, 900 and sS,O00,OO0 absolutely,
and can, if she wishes, bequeath it to
her own children exclusively, in ad-
ditiou to their share OF the remaining
tyo-thirds OF the Elkins fortune.

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.

By vote 80 close that it practically
precludes all lopo Of its passage
through the House at this session, the
Gallinger ship subsidy bill passed the
Senate yesterday afternoon. The vote
was SO to SO. Had Senator Watson,
the new member OF the Senate from
West Virginia, remained until the final
vote he could have killed the bill, as it
was announced by his colleague, Sen
ator Scott, that Mr.. Watson was op-
posed to the measure. Three tie votes
we're recorded yesterday afternoon, on
any tie of which Mr.. Watson would
have had the deciding vote. As it was,
the advocates OF the ship subsidy we're
enabled to carry the day through the
vice-president, who, in each case, after
the announcement of the tie cast his
vote for the ship subsidy. Having
passed the Senate by one majority, the
bill now goes to the Honse, where the
democrats and insurgents, by combin-
ing, expect to defeat it.
