TURNING BACK THE CLOCK.

Our solons at the Capitol
Had worked fun ninety days;
And they were anxious to adjourn
And go their various ways
Twas Saturday-the day passed on
And neared the midnight hour
When legislators would be shorn
OF legislative power.
They'd talked on themes of every sort
From hedgehogs to taxation,
with oratory seldom heard
In halls OF legislation.
They tinkered with a lot of bills,
Some laws they tried to block;
But who'd have thought they'd try, al
last,
To tinker with the clock
BY word and act they voted oft.
That cheating Is a crime;
Then, turning back the clock, they said
Wen cheat old Father Time"

LINSEEO OIL IGNITES.
Fire in Basement Of knaul's Drug
Store Calls Out Department
Yesterday Afternoon.

The fire department was called out
Tuesday afternoon at 4:3O to en-
tinguish small blaze that occurred
in the basement OF the Rudolph knaul
drug store on Main street.
A large bucket of linseed oil, which
Mr.. knaul kept in the basement. in
some manner became ignited. Mr..
Knaul had occasion to go into the
basement and discovered the fire and
at once telephoned the alarm. The fire
department lost no time in getting to
the scene of the fire and by the use
of the chemical apparatus were able
to get it under control in a very few
minutes. Louie Evers and Charlie
Christensen carried the burning
bucket of oil from the building and
placed it in the street, where it was
smothered.
1t was very fortunate, indeed that
the firemen were able to control the
blaze, FOR the building being located
in the center of the block, might have
caused thousands OF dollars worth of
damage Only q small amount OF
damage was done and Mr.. Knaui is
exceedingly fortunate that it was not
more serious.

LEOPOLD AGAIN A
RESIDENT OF DENlS0N
Returns From Montana With Sheriff
Cummings on Saturday Last On-
der Name of Geo. Ludwig.
Acknowledges Passing Bad Checks
and Returns Watch-Wiil Write
Book While In Jail.

Sheriff Cummings returned from
Montana Saturday afternoon, sccc0-
panied by George Leopold, who has
been wanted here for some time for
passing some worthless checks ON the
local banks ard the bank at HO!ste!n.
Iowa. He was employed the latter
part of January and the fore part OF
February by Otto Eosgerau, as local
editor of Der Demokrat. From all ap'
pearances he was a rustler and made
many friends during his short stay
in our city He left Denison the mid
die of February and soon after his
departure it was discovered that he
had passed checks which were of no
value, and had also purchased a
watch of J. w. Barborka, which was
paid for with one of the checks. A
warrant was Immediately issued for
his arrest, and detectives were en-
,lOyed to locate his whereabouts.
Through the efforts of County At
torney Klinker and Sheriff Cummings
It was learned that man, who an
swered to the description of George
| Leopold, was employed on fruit
farm near Red Lodge, Carbon county,
Mont, under the name of George Lud-
wig A photograph and description
OF leopold was sent to the sheriff OF
that county in order that he might be
identified. At first George Ludwig,
alias George Leopold, alias George
Rosenstein, denied any knowledge of
George Leopold or the city of Deni-
son, Iowa, but on being confronted
with his photograph, acknowledged
that he was the man. He offered to
return to Iowa without requisition pa
pers. and we understand has admitted
drawing the checks. He has also re
turned the watch to Mr.. Barborka.
Court does not convene until Septem-
Der and Leopold will have five months
of jail life before being brought to
trial.

AND Elect Remainder Of Places
New Teachers Not Strangers.

The members of the school board
held meeting Monday evening for
the purpose of electing teachers to
fill vacancies in the Denison public
schools for next year. A number of
applications were submitted for the
board to take action on and several
were elected for positions.
Jacob Johnson was again elected
manual training teacher and we un-
derstand with an increase OF salary.
Mr. Johnson not only has charge of
the manual training department, but
teaches penmanship and drawing in
the grades. He has been here several
years and is one of the popular teach
ers in our public schools and we are
glad, indeed, that Mr.. johnson has
decided to teach in Denison another
year, as there has been some talk
that he might accept position else
where.
Miss Beatrice Lally, OF this city, was
elected teacher of music for the COM
ing year. Miss Lally is well fitted for
this responsible position. She has stud
led music for number of years and for
the past three years has been engaged
in the teaching of it. For some time
she taught music in the public schools
of Holstein, and for the past year has
been teaching at Manila.
Miss Jenna Strahan was elected to
teach one of the grades. Miss Strahan
is very capable teacher and has de-
voted number of years to this work.

zen and sheriff of this county, died at
his home in the southern part Of
Brown county, Nebraska. on Friday
last, aged IS years. Mr.. Mooney was
formerly engaged in the mercantile
business at Vail, and his popularity
was such that his friends concluded
that if he made the race for sheriff
of the county he could easily be
elected Their Judgment was vindi-
Gated, because in the contest for the
office he won out and was triumphant
ly elected. He was a capable officer
and possessed of unusual courage.
Mr.. Mooney served with distinction
as a soldier in the Civil war and at
the time of his death was drawing a
pension from the government.
While living in this county he mar
ried Emma Wightman and to this
union were born eight children, all OF
whom, as we'll as the widow, survive
him. Mr.. Mooney and family moved
from here to Fremont, Neb., where
they lived for several years before
moving onto a ranch in the neighbor
hood of thirty miles south OF Aims
worth, Neb. His health became i'm
paired soon after leaving here and for
a number of years prior to his death
he was an invalid. Mr.. Mooney will
be remembered by large number OF
friends and relatives living in this
county.
The funeral services for the de-
ceased were held at Ainsworth, Neb.,
on Yesterday, where the deceased was
buried.

The family of Leon Vassar, as we'll
as the community were shocked on
Tuesday afternoon at the sudden death

result. Not even her husband dreamed
for a moment that she was so near

usual, and in few minutes there
after suddenly expired.
The deceased, Bertha McCort before
her marriage, was born at Dunlap,
May 16, 1879. She attended school
at Dunlap and graduated from the
high school at that place. Later she
attended the Denison Normal college
and afterwards engaged in school
teaching. She was married to Leon
Vassar Nov. %, 1901, and since has
lived in Denison. She was the mother
of five children: Evelyn Elizabeth,
aged eight years; LeOna Emily, aged
six years; Bertha Ruth, hVe years;
John Ralph, three years, and baby
born ten days ago. She has two Sis
ters, Mrs. George Dollison, of Panama,
Mo-, and Mrs. F. L. Lyman, of Bassett,
Neb. She has one brother, John Nc
Cort, of Audubon, Iowa.
The death of Mrs. Vassar is a great
bereavement to her husband and an
rretrievable loss to her children. The
funeral services will be held Thursday
afternoon at two o'clock at the Bap-
tist church in this city. after which
