DOW CITY NOW
ELECTRIC LIGHTED {; i
Electric Lights Turned on for the
First Time Last Evening at
Dow City. ''' ''.
HAVE 80 ARC LIGHTS IN TOWN
Many Residences Wired and Many
Others Will be in Near Future
People Elated Over Lights

Dow City, Dec. 11-(Special to the
Review)-Electric lights are not a
hope in Dow City, but reality; the
proposition deals not in futures, but
in the present. The lights were
turned on for the first time Tuesday
evening and everything was fine and
dandy. The engine and dynamo had
been installed last week and Messrs.
Bennett and Hardness, sub-c0ntractor
and agent of the Fairbanks Morse
company of Chicago, respectively, had
been here for several days putting on
the finishing touches. About 1880 the
wires were connected up, the switch
turned on and 10! there was light.
Thirty arc lights have been installed
and this lights up the streets in fine
shape Six business houses and four
teen residences have been wired and
without doubt others will be wired
at an early date. Many have ex-
pressed themselves as waiting to see
the thing tried out and proven satis-
factory before they invested their
money for wire and fixtures. The
construction work of this enterprise
was commenced the last week in Oc-
tober and it is considered that the
workmen have brought it along in
good time. OF course it is not com.
plete at present, but it will not take
many days after number Of needed
appliances reach here until the sys.
tenn will be complete and then, with
out doubt, accepted by the town.
Electric light is proposition that
has been debated loud and long in
times past and when it was determ-
ined to put the question before the
people the boosters boosted and the
knockers knocked, but it carried
overwhelmingly. OF course there will
be few knockers that will still
knock, but we predict that the ma
jority of our citizens will hustle to get
in on the benefits, and that Easter
will see the town well wired and en-
joying good lights from the system.
There is no discounting the fact that
the town council have had a stu
penduous undertaking on their hands.
but they have "hastened slowly" on
every detail and have worked consci-
entiously and there is no fault to find
with anything concerning it. Every
body feels as though each and every
member has done the best he could.
We feel as though the town of Dow
City, a burg of but 500 souls, de-
serves to be congratulated on it's en-
terprise.

CITY COUNCIL HOLDS SESSION.
Talk Over Ways and Means for New
Standpipe and Give Lease Of Life
to Popcorn Booth.

The city council held a meeting last
evening, at which time considerable
discussion was had over the proposed
new standpipe. 1t was finally ar
ranged for representative of some
concern having standpipes for sale to
visit Denison and meet with the coun-
Gil. A new standpipe will cost in the
neighborhood of five or six thousand
dollars and arrangements must be
made to raise this amount. The pres
ent standpipe is not only inadequate.
but is in bad repair and it is only a
question of short time when 1t will
be useless unless steps are taken to
renew part of it.
At the meeting Tuesday evening the
matter of the popcorn booth came in
for hearing. Mr.. Dean presented
to the council a petition signed by &c
citizens, asking that the popcorn booth
be allowed to remain on the streets
during the winter, providing Mr.. Dean
move the building some ten or fifteen
feet north of it's present location. Al
ter considerable time was spent in
discussing the matter, Mr.. Dean was
given until January Sd to complete
his petition. The council deemed it
wise that more of the business men
and particularly those who had re-
ceived notice to clean their premises
be given an opportunity to sign the
petition.

THE GOVERNMENT
CLEARS P. 0. site
Old Opera House Must be Removed
From the Present Location With
in Next Thirty Days.
OPTION ON THE LAUe PROPERTY
Improvement Company Secures Option
on w. n. Laub's Livery Proper.
ty for Opera House Site.

Postmaster Alfred Wright received
instructions from the United States
government the latter part of last
week ordering the site for the post
Office building cleared within thirty
days. The news came as surprise
to all concerned, and steps were i'm
mediately taken for the securing OF
grounds for the old opera house. A
number of locations were talked of un'
til Tuesday afternoon, when the I'm
provement company made contract
for an option with Mr.. w. H. Laub
for his property at the corner of Tre-
mont and Sweet streets.
We understand the option runs un-
til December Goth, and the price to
be paid for the ground and build
ing is $7,500.00, due in ten years. Mr..
I.aub offers to rent the east 100 feet
for an indefinite length of time at
$500 per month. Should this deal
go through, the present opera house
will be moved next to the alley across
from Mr.. Harding's blacksmith shop.
That part of the Laub barn will be
torn down. The opera house is about
"A feet wide and there will be six feet
of space between the Laub barn and
the opera house, which will give suf-
fcient light and air circulation. It is
understood that the government will
begin excavating it as soon as the
ground is cleared.
1t was undoubtedly thought that the
present opera house could remain on
it's present site for at least five years,
and the sudden order has more or less
disturbed the plans and calculations
of the German Verein. The remnt,il
al of the building will undoubtedly
close the picture show for two or
three weeks.
Mr.. Melton, who owns the building
just east of the opera house, has sold
the same to P. J. Eggers, and it will
be removed to the south part of town.
AS yet Mr.. Melton has not arranged
for new quarters.

cred at their home in Goodrich town
ship to celebrate the day and share
their hospitality. Little need be said
regarding the enjoyment of the occas

o'clock in the afternoon and remained
until after midnight, which explains
the merrment of the crowd. The

lunch, both in the afternoon and even

a mock wedding ceremony and mar

attired in a beautiful gown of gray
silk messaline. This ceremony was
the cause of much mirth; congratula-
tions were extended to the newly
weds" and the large number of gifts
presented, which were useful and
beautiful but simply the tokens of the
esteem in which these good people
were held by friends and neighbors
in that community. In few we'll
chosen words Mr.. and Mrs. Pody
thanked their guests for their kind
ness and beautiful remembrances.
At late hour the company departed

time and wishing that they might eel

THE BOYS BEHIND
The BARS" SPECIAL
Ladies of Federation Disappointed in
Postponement Of Sen. Burkett,
But Secure Good Number.
MRS, LILA G. ENGLISH TO SPEAK
Lecture 10 An Additional One, With.
out Extra Cost to Holders OF
Course Tickets.

The ladies of the Federation have
been disappointed in having to post,
pone the lecture of Senator Burkett
They have, however, secured another
number for this month. Mrs. Lila
G. English will deliver her celebrated
lecture on "The Boys Behind the
Bars" at the opera house on Monday,
December 10Th. This lecture is not to
take the place of the one that was
advertised for this week, but is an
additional number that is furnished
without additional cost to holders of
course tickets. The reserved seat
sale will begin at Lamborn's on Sat
urday morning.
The Ames Times, in speaking OF
this lectuer, said: "Her lecture on
prison life ranks with that OF Maude
Ballington Booth On Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings Mrs. English
will deliver two of her lectures to
girls and their mothers. Concerning
these lectures the Oskaloosa Times
saws: Mrs. English in her address to
women was worth the whole chau-
tauqua." Through the courtesy and
help of the different women's clubs OF
Denison the schools are able to offer
these lectures free to all women and
girls. The teachers who heard Mrs.
English at the State Teachers asso-
citation in Des Moines are very enthus-
iastic about her and it is hoped that
all mothers, particularly those who
have children in school, will hear
these lectures.
Here is a beautiful tribute from the
women of Ames when Mrs English ap-
peared on the chautauqua there:
1--WE, the women and girls of Ames,
wish to express our hearty apprecla-
ton of the splendid work done by
Mrs. English. Her timely messages,
given to thousand women and girls
at JlIne, we're given VIVA SS1- +
or. nersuasiveness and sweet sympathy
that the memory will not be lost, but
the messages will be permanent in
terms Of purer lives, higher purposes
and loftier vision. Mrs. English
brings to her hearers messages that
are vital and inspiring, replete with
knowledge that gives greater power
to live wholesomely and well, and
above all, leaves her hearers feeling
that they have made friend whose
memory will remain as an inspiration
to nobler effort. We earnestly request
that the Iowa Chautauqua alliance
send Mrs. English, or women bearing
a like message, to each and every
chautauqua in this great state of ours,
that the message she brings may be
spread broadcast. Respectfully sub
mitted, Mrs. Freeman R. ConaWay,

In the issue of the Review of last
week appeared statement OF the
First National bank of this city, which
prompted complimentary notice
from the paper. In this weeks issue
appears statement of the Crawford
County State bank, which merits an
equal commendatory mention. The
statement which the bank makes may
we'll be the envy of the city banks,
for doubtless many of them cannot
compete with the showing made.
With loans and discounts of $780,
646.7S, demand deposits of $53 ,263.O7,
individual deposits subject to check
of $293, ,5OO.57, time deposits of $46S,-
O97 900, total deposits of $S24,S66,4,
with an ampel cash reserve fund and
total footing of almost million
dollars, most healthy condition of
the affairs of the bank appears. This
bank is also one of the old-time insti-
tutions of the county, having been in
operation for almost thirty-five years,
and under the present organization
for almost thirty years. 1t has main
tanned it's reputation as a safe and
conservative banking institution and
there is no question but what it enjoys
the full confidence of the people Of the
community.

QUESTIONS
BEFORE ASSOCIATION
BAR WILL HEAR RBcoAnfENDA
TON FOR KAUAI JUDGE-To
DISCUSS RECALL
(From Thursdays Advcrtiser.)

The recommendation Of new circuit
judge for the island Of Kauai and an
expression of opinion on the matter
of the recall Of the Judiciary, are two
interesting matters which will come be.
fore the annual meeting of the Hawa.
iian Bar Association, to be held May
30. Action on the matter of the re.
call has been asked in a letter from
the American Bar Association, in which
opposition to the recall is expressed,
and the Hawaiian association is asked
to express its views.
The matter of a circuit Judge for
Kauai is one which may result in a
good deal of discussion. That Circuit
Judge Hardy will ever sit again is not
regarded as likely, and the members of
the bar are considering what members
of the profession are available for the
position. Among those under discus
sion are G. W. Ashford, r. p Quarles,
G. s. Dole, D. H. Case and Lyle A.
Dickey. The only one of these who
is resident of Kauai is Dole.
Questions of legal ethics, which have
been brought up in the national asso.
citation, may also be brought up locally,
and may lead to some interesting dis.
cussions. There will also be election
of officers and annual reports for the
year.
The annual dinner of the association
will be held on June 10. Committees
in charge consist of +. f. Thompson,
Attorney General Lindsay and L. A.
Dickey, on arrangements for the din.
ner, and w. o. Smith, R. b. Anderson
and D. L. Wilmington on arrangements
for the literary program.
