Political mud-slinging is bad en-
ough when personalities are not con-
sidered and the women are left out,
but when the dirty campaign is
circulated to the very doors in the
form of cleverly worded petitions in
an effort to enlist the sympathies of
the women voters, the limit certain
ly is reached. To gain an office that
supposedly contains nothing but
hard work and grief, the independ-
ent candidates and their support
ers are making terrible job of it.
The candidates on the citizens
ticket, can, of course, only make a
denial of the allegations, without
taking hand in Tipping the ooze.
AS matter of fact, the reports of
the establishment of red light dis
trict in case of the election of Lock-
erby, are absolutely without foun-
dalton and have been circulated for
the purpose of prejudicing voters.

Either the Pacific Power & Light
company is terribly afraid of mu-
nicipal competition or the needs OF
the town have been badly misrepre-
scented to the officials of the com
pany. The general manager OF the
company in the meeting with the
council made all sorts of promises
for the betterment of the services.
Among them were promised better
arcs, and sixty new lights, and a
manager with an office, wherein
complaints could be made without
the necessity OF chasing over to the
county seat of Franklin county.
What is better, the lights will be in
operation by the first of the year,
if the word of the general manager
is OF any worth.

WHAT THE CHURCHES ARE DOING
The Revival Meetings Are Still; in
Progress With Good Attendance
and Interest.

BY the vote and wishes of a large
majority of the people who crowded
the M. L. church last Sunday evening,
it was decided to continue the union
revival meetings. The pastors were
willing to continue and were pleased
at the determination of the laymen.
The meetings this week have been in
the Presbyterian church and the at
tendance all which could be desired.
Very many have come forward in the
meetings and far more in private have
determined to live better lives be-
cause Of what has been said in the re-
yival meetings. The services from
night to night will close on Friday
evening. There will be no services on
Thanksgiving day in the forenoon, but
the union services in the evening will
have the Thanksgiving thought well
in mind. At that time the fund will be
replenished to help the worthy poor
and the committee appointed to dis
tribute it. Although the special meet
ings close the revival spirit will go on.
it has been suggested that after the
holidays meetings be held up town
with view of reaching those who do
not feel like going to the church serv-
ices.

We are glad to be able to announce
that arrangements have been made for
w. e. Taylor, that eminent authority
on Soil Culture, to visit Denison on
his western trip and that he will de-
liver his instructive lecture on "Soil
Culture" at the opera house Saturday
December 9th, $3.50 p. M. DR.. Taylor
is in great demand at all the leading
institutes in the United States and
we are indeed fortunate when, we con-
slider that DR.. Taylor will only make
one other stop besides Denison in
western Iowa. Everyone who is in
terested in increasing the yield OF his
crop can we'll afford to spare the time
and learn from an expert on this sub
jent Just how to go at it. DR.. Taylor
has ana1yzed samples of soil from hun
dreds of different localities, includ-
ins this, end knows what elements are
lacking to make the soil yield the best
crop. DR.. Taylor will be glad to talk
90 anyone after his lecture. The lee
ture will be free and we hope every
seat in the opera house will be taken.

New Stock Show Features.

A. new and interesting exhibit al
the coming international Live Stocl
shoW in Chicago, December I'd to 9th
will be huge refrigerator for the pur
lpOss of displaying the various marke
grades and classes OF meats, together
with the prize carcasses Of animals
entered In the carcass competition.
This exhibit will be sure to attract
la great deal of attention, because OF
Its practical educational value for the
housewife and head of the family who
purchase it's daily meat supply, as
well as for the meat dealers, stock
raisers and agricultural college stu
dents who attend the show from many
states.
Here will be shown and explained
the differences between prime, corn
fed beef and the medium and inferior
grades; between choice lamb or NUT
ton and that taken from commO.
sheep and habitat lambs or lambs OF
the pee wee variety; and between
ine-grained, tirst-class pork and the
eoarser and inferior kinds that are
neither relished in the fresh state nor
found satisfactory as "cured meats. "
Not only the different grades in qual,
ity, but the different cuts and their
relative market values will be shown.
A better knowledge of how to select
meat will thus be obtained by many
persons, and the result will be an in
creased demand for the better grades
of meat, thus leading to proper re-
wards for the farmers and stOckmen
who produce the better bred and bet
ter fed meat animals.

HELD UP AND ROBBED.
Mrs. Silence Oaz Victim Of HoiduE
and Loses $18O.0O-Occurs Near
Chas. Jones Property.

A wave of lawleSsneSs prevails In
Denison and we doubt if people gen
orally are familiar with the extent of
~ 1t is not an infrequent thing to
hear OF people being held up in the
'i'ies of the country, but one
would hardly expect that in a COM
munity like Denison such a thing
happen Il was but short
time ago, during the revival meetings,
that lady who attended the services,
on her way home. it is said, was held
up and robbed on q public street of
this city. This matter was brought 10
the attention, of the Review q week
ago, but on special request of
those in authority nothing was said
about It in hast weeks Issue of the pa
per, and inasmuch as the matter is
quite generally known from other
sources, we see no reason why the
newspapers should be prevented from
mentioning the fact.
Mrs. Silence DaZ was the victim.
She had attended services at the Bap-
over she went west to Main street
and south on that street to the Jones
"nrner. where she was met by man
and woman and $3.50 in money was
e's"n from her. The matter has
since been investigated and it is be-
'ieved that the robbery took place as
Mrs. Daz describes. 1t is further re-
ported that another lady met with a
similar experience a few nights since
in the same locality. 1t is difficult to
believe these reports, which are SEN
sational, to say the least, but investi-
cation proves that there Is foundation
for them. We suggest to the citizens
of the town to be on the alert to dis.
cover the perpetrators of deeds of this
character.

ENCOURAGEMENT
FELT FOR new ROAD
Oenison Parties Advised That New
Road is Possible From Storm,
Lake South Through Here.
VISIT TO SCENE OF OPERATION
May Be Some Time Vet, and Business
Men Should Keep An Eye Out
for indications.

The atmosphere surrounding the
question of new railroad has not be-
come entirely clarified. Rumor sue
ceeds rumor, but nothing of definite
character has transpired. A number
of DenisOn enthusiasts went out in an
automobile two or three days ago and
visited the locality two or three miles
east of SchlesWig, where it is claim
ed the surveyors have been at work. 1t
was discovered that surveyors had
been in that community and operating
both north and south of the North-
western railroad, which argues in
favor of a line going in southerly
direction down Big Creek valley, and
that Denison is on the route. Sears
McHenry, chairman of the committee.
|of the Commercial club, on transpor-
tation, had an interview with George
w. Sewers, attorney for the Mime
apolis & st. Louis railroad, few days
ago, and was advised that the energies:
of the company were being devoted
to the question of reorganization
rather than to an extension of it's
ines; that as soon as the reorganiza-
tiOn is completed, the question of
building new lines will be taken up.
He held out considerable encourage
rent that line from Storm Lake
south would be part of the program
and that Denison would in all proba-
bility be one of the points on the
route. We predict that it may be some
time before definite route will be
selected. In the meantime, we sim
cerely hope that our business men will
make every effort to get into touch
with the officials of the road in order
that our interests may not be over
looked. There is a splendid oppor-
tunity for road to come from the
north to get into Denison and just as
fine an opportunity for getting, out in
9. southerly direction. Morris Nc
Henry, during his lifetime, often
spoke of a favorable route from the
north to the south through Denison,
and many of his friends remember his
taking a map Of the county and with
a pencil drawing a line which showed
2 feasible way both in and out of
Denison. We think it is true that a
perfectly satisfactory route can be Sc
lected and one that will touch the
very best port 'ons of the county. There
is no question but what there will be
railroad building in this locality with
in the next year or so. aud Denison
should not make the mistake of sleep
ing on it's rights.
