reason given being that Death cools

A SERIES OF ILLUS
TRATED LECTURES
Supt. e. W. Fellows Secures Prof. Mil
ton FairchiId, of National insti-
tuition of Moral Training.
FIRST THREE DAYS NEXT WEEK
To Take Place in High School Assemb-
ly Room-Lectures Full Of In
terest to Boys and Girls.

We are very glad to note that the
board of education has secured Prof.
Milton Fairchild, of the National In
stitution of Moral Training, to deliver
series of illustrated lectures to the
pupils of the schools of the city. The
National Institution Of Moral Train
ing is not scheme for making money
but cooperative work among edu-
Gators of high standing The lectures
are given at actual cost. The North
western Iowa Teachers association
has made it possible to secure these
lectures by bringing Professor Fair
child to their meeting at Sioux City
this week. He will spend one month
among the schools of Iowa. Supt. F..
w. Fellows was quick to see the op-
portunity and with the cooperation
of the board secured the first series
of lectures for Denison. These lee
lures have been given during the past
month in the leading cities of Massa-
chusetts, and were so we'll received
by the schools that an assistant lee
turer has been appointed to deliver
them, as opportunity offers, to the
schools of all cities of Massachusetts.
The lectures are illustrated and full
of interest and present facts that will
aid the boys and girls to form their
own conclusions on some of the prin-
ciples that underlie their highest de-
velopment and success. The titles
of the lectures are as follows: For the
college and high school students, Per
sonal and National Thrift Conduct
Becoming a Gentleman" "The True
Sportsman" For the grammar grades,
What Am Going to Do When ! Am
Grown Up" Boys Fights
The lectures will be given in the
high school assembly room Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday of next
week. Those to the high school and
college students will be given at 9 a.
M, and those to the grammar grades
at $3.50 p. m.

GERMAN LAB0RER
COMMITS SUICIDE
Broder Carsten Found Dead in His
Room Over the Martin Saggau
Building Monday Morning.
FOUND HANGING FROM TRANsoM
No Cause for Rash Act Other Thar
Supposed III HeaIth-Member
of German Odd Fellows.

Broder Carstens, a German laborer,
committed suicide sometime between
Saturday evening and Monday morn
ing by hanging. Two buckskin shoe
laces We're tied to a brace on the
transom and around his neck. He
was found by Messrs. Saggau, Fritz
Timm and Herman Otto Monday even
ing in his room over the Martin Sag
gau saloon, which is located in the
old court house building.
No cause is given for the act other
than that the deceased suffered from
growth on his eye. This at times
seemed to worry Mr.. Carstens and
only two weeks ago he underwent an
operation at the Denison hospital Tor
the removal of the growth. 1t is
known that he had made the remark
that rather than lose his eyesight he
would prefer losing his life.
A letter found on the table in his
room and addressed to IS friend, Mr..
Chris Otto, did not make known the
reason for this rash act, but only
stated that he was tired of life and
that he wished Mr.. Otto would see
..lat he received good burial and not
let his relatives in Germany know
just how he departed this life.
There was no financial trouble to
cause him to worry. Mr. Carsteg.
was last seen Saturday evening about
10 o'clock, and Monday morning when
he was not seen his friends thought
that he might be sick so few of them
went up to his room in the Saggau
building to investigate The door was
found to be locked, but a light was
noticed burning through the window
in the transom. On looking over tine
transom he was seen to be lying on
the floor and the door was forced open
to permit entrance. Dr. Wright was
called and he cut the shoe laces and
pronounced that Mr.. Carstens had
been dead for some time. Coroner
Byrnes. of Vail, was called and took
charge of the remains, and upon testi
