COMMERCIAL CLUB
AGAIN ACTIVE
Two Interesting Meetings Held Last
Week, on Thursday Evening and
One Friday Evening.
CAMPAIGN FOR NORMAL SCHOOL
No Definite Action in School Matter
Taken, However, but Later Ac.
tivities Are Anticipated.

On Thursday evening the CONNER
Of which was to extend reception
to the parties in charge of the beef
special train, which remained over
night here. A large number of the
members of the club were on hand
to greet the gentlemen who comprised
the beef special, prominent among
whom were: Dean Curtiss of the
Ames Agricultural college; Professor
Kennedy, head of the extension de-
partment at the college; Charles
Escher, Jr., of Botna, and others, all
of whom delivered addresses which
were both interesting and instructive.
The Commercial club held meet
ing on Friday night, being regular
meeting, at which they took up the
question of campaign relative to the
state taking over the normal school
of this place. There is a we'll de-
fined rumor that at the next session
of the legislature normal schools are
to be established at three or four diff
ferent places in the state. Denison,
in all probability, has the best propo-
sition to offer the state of all places
mentioned up to this time. No defin-
ite decision was reached nor any plan
adopted, but there was feeling man
ifested that we should avail our
have the property taken over by the
state. 1t may be that in the near fu-
ture some definite action will be TAX
en- and a decision reached to enter
the contest and in case such decis-
ion is reached our competitors will
know that we are in the contest.

we'll given and we'll received by the
audience, and she acquitted herself in
manner worthy of one much older
in years and training. Harold Poole
who delivered 1.-The Independent Spirit
of the Puritans," and who was award
ed first place in the oratorical class.
was exceptionally fine. His delivery
was excellent and he seemed to be
perfectly at home on the platform.
Martha Weiss told the story of "The
Negro; Americas Greatest Problem
and held the audience spellbound as
she told of the hardships and life of
these people. Miss Weiss undoubted-
ly had spent much time and practice
on her selection for not one of the
contestants appeared more at home
on the platform than did she. Bryan
Weberg, who delivered "The Builders
of the Empire" and Hugo Boettger,
"The Common People," were both
good.
In the dramatic class Miss Helen
Trexel, who was awarded second
place in this class by the judges, had
a most interesting subject that held
the rapt attention of the listeners and
one could have heard pin drop in the
hall while she was telling of "The
Keeper of the Light" Her portraiture
was exquisitely vivid, and one could
almost find himself on the scene.
"Mary's Night Ride" portrayed by
Miss Fannie Mcdonald, "How the Cos
pei came to Jim Oaks" by Miss Bula
Hover and The Wedding Ring" by
Estelle Johnstone were splendid de-
pictments.
Miss Grace Allen in her topic "Too
Late for a Train," gave an excellent
personification of man making prep
arations to catch train, and drew
hearty applause at the conclusion. One
of the best numbers was "a Political
Stump Speech" delivered by Harry
Meyers, who gave the impersonation
of candidate for congress deliver
ing a prediction speech. This deliv-
cry and caricature was exceptionally
good. Ben Brodersen, who was
awarded second place in the humor-
GUS class delivered "Sockery Sets
Hen" He had his listeners in a con-
tinual uproar of laughter.
We believe Denison can well hope
to win honors at the district contest
with Miss Chamberlin as it's cham
pion. She is hard worker, has
natural talent and is ambitious, and
we bespeak for her success and that
she will reflect still greater glory up:
on the schools of Denison.

LYDIA OTTO WINS SECOND
Musical Numbers by Girls Glee Club
RoundIy AppIauded-Now for
the District Contest.

The fourteenth annual high school
declamatory contest was held at the
Germania opera house at Denison Fri,
day evening, and proved to be one OF
the best events of the kind ever held
in the city and was throughout de-
cided credit to the Denison high
school.
The musical numbers by the Girls
Glee club were all heartily applauded,
as was Harold Poole, who rendered
two selections on the cornet.
In all there were thirteen contest
ants, they being: Bryan Weberg, Har-
old Poole, Hugo Boettger, Martha
Weiss, Fanny Mcdonald, Helen Trek
ell, Bula Hover Lydia Otto, Estelle
tombstone, Ethel Chamberlin, Grace
Allen, Harry Meyers and Ben Broder-
sen. The judges were: supt. S. c.
Cobb, of Logan; Supt. w. w. Craw-
ford, of Vail, and Supt. c. N. Cunning
ham, of Glidden, and by their decision
Miss Ethel Chamberlin, who competed
in the humorous class, was given first
over ALL and Miss Lydia Otto, who
competed in the dramatic class, was
given second over all In the oratori-
cal class the judges awarded first
place to Harold Poole, the second
place in this class being awarded to
Miss Martha Weiss. Miss Helen Trek
ell was given second place in the dra-
matte class and Ben Brodersen Sec
ond place in the humorous class.
Miss Ethel Chamberlin delivered
"A Woman's Bright Invention," and
with this selection proved herself to
be a speaker of extraordinary ability.
She kept her audience with an ease
that was remarkable, her delivery was
excellent and her memorizing perfect
It must have been hard thing for
the judges to decide between this Sc
lection and the one delivered by Miss
Lydia Otto, whose subject was "On

POSTOFFICE PLANS
XMAS DAY
Holiday Parcels to be Sent to Patrons
As Promptly As PossibIe-Rural
Carriers Make Delivery.
DELIVERY CHRISTMAS MORNING
Every Effort Made to Get Presents
From Outside to Patrons as
Quickly As Possible. :.

If all the Christmas packages ex-
pected by the patrons of the Denison
postoffice have not arrived the day
before Christmas Denison people and
those living on the routes out of Den
ison will not have to wait until the
day after Christmas to receive them.
The Denison postoffice will remain
open a greater part of tomorrow and
in fact the general delivery window
will not be closed until noon.
Postmaster Alfred Wright informs
US that according to the present plans
one entire city delivery will be made
tomorrow forenoon. AS the morning
delivery is always the heaviest of the
day but few packages or letters that
arrive at the postoffice will be held
over until the following day. Deliv-
cries will be made to the lock boxes
and to the general delivery patrons.
Despite the fact that the Christmas
rush, both incoming and outgoing, has
been on at the DenisOn pOstOffice for
two or three days past, the mail was
all cleared up last night. All the in
coming mail was delivered as usual
by the last delivery of the carriers
Tuesday afternoon so far as it had
been received up to that time. The
outgoing mail was all dispatched on
schedule time.
The city and rural carriers are load
ed down on each trip with Christmas
packages and the postal clerks inform
us that never have the mails been as
heavy as at the present time. Christ
mas postal cards are flooding the
mails and Clerk Kemp estimates that
three times the number of these cards
are being sent this year as there was
last year.

Messrs. John and Will Curry will
arrive home Christmas morning and
spend the day with their parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. A. T. Curry. They will
return to Seward, Neb., Wednesday
night.

church will be filled to overf1owing.
Episcopal Tree Friday.

Rev. Buxton, of the Episcopal
church, held the regular Christmas
services on last Sunday morning, due
to his departure the fore part of the
| week for Ohio, where he goes to spend
Christmas with his family. The
Christmas tree for the children will
be arranged for Friday, and an inter-
esting program has been arranged for
that time.
The Methodist Way.
As has been the custom for many
years the Methodist Sunday school
will observe Christmas in a most
elaborate way. The exercises will be
held this evening at the church at 1880
sharp, and it has been limited that
Santa Claus himself will be there to
deliver the presents. A large ever
green tree has been set up and is
beautifully decorated and the branch
es are fairly creaking under the load
of good things for the little people.
Catholics Celebrated Last Friday.
The Roman Catholic church makes
much of the Christmas anniversary
and the church did not fail to follow
this custom last Friday when the chill
dren of the parochial school held
their exercises. A delightful program
was rendered and the little folks of
the church thoroughly enjoyed the
tree which had been arranged for
them by the grown people of the par
ish. Tomorrow the usual Christmas
services will be held at St. Rose of
Lima church.
Presbyterians Celebrate This Evening
Santa Claus will be on hand at the
Presbyterian church this evening to
deliver in person the gifts to the little
folks of this church. A large ever
green tree has been placed in the
church for the occasion and gener-
al program of speaking and music
will be rendered. Services will be
held at the church Sabbath morning,
December goth, at 10:30 and that even
ing sacred concert will be rendered
by the orchestra and choir.
At the German Lutheran Church.
The usual Christmas exercises of
the German Lutheran church will be
held this evening at o'clock. The
program will consist of declamations
and songs by the children, after which
the children and many of the adults
will be delighted with fine and vari-
Gus Christmas gifts. There will be
Holy communion at 10 o'clock.

ing Christmas Exercises.
oPERETrA AT BAPTIST CHURCH
Sacred Concert to be Given at Pres
byterian Church Sunday Evening
by Choir and Orchestra.

All Denison churches will observe
Christmas in some for, either this
evening or tomorrow and for weeks
preparations have been under way for
these programs and services. A num-
Der of the churches will have trees
loaded down with good things for the
younger members of the church and
special music and appropriate pro-
grams will be rendered. The church
people of Denison always see to it
that Christmas time is remembered
and are most liberal in making dona-
tions for this event.
Baptist Tree This Evening.
The members of the Baptist church
and Sunday school will hold their
Christmas exercises in the church
this evening, and we understand great
preparations for special program
and operetta have been made. A mag
niicent tree has been decorated for
the occasion, which is loaded down
with candles, nuts and fruit for the
children. There will be singing and
speaking, and together with the oper-
eta by the children the program will
be a very entertaining one indeed. All
members and their friends are invit-
ed to be present.
German Methodist Services.
1t is said that the idea of celebrat-
ing Christmas with decorated ever
green trees was of German origin. 1t
is certain this is the way the Ger
mans of the later years remember
the day for the enjoyment of the chill
dren. The good people of the Ger
man methodist church will hold their
exercises this evening at the church
and Rev. Lempke, together with the
members of the church, have made
arrangements for one of the best pro-
grams in the history of the church.
The exercises will be held this even
ing and it is needless to say that the

CALL MONEY GOES
TO 20 Per CENT

New York, Nov. 29.-Call money
was lent at 30 per cent Just before
the close of business on the stock
exchange. The ilurr" was created by
an increased demand from borrow
crs and further calling OF loans by
clearing house banks.
Various factors entered into the
stringency. including the condition
of the local banks. whosc reserve had
been very much depleted By losses
to tac sub-trcasury.
Money opened at per cent and re-
newals were made at :. 1t was not
until the final hour that the rate
rose to 10 per cent and in the final
fifteen minutes jumped successively
from IL to 10, then Is and finally
20. The rate has not been eGualled
in several years. the nearest approach
to it being in January of 1910, when
the maximum rate was II per cent.

CoNFESSES BRUTAL
MURDERS; DRINK
MANIAC he SAYS

Buffalo. NY. Nov. 29.-J. Frank
Hickey today made "a full confession
OF the murder on October L.. 1911.
OF Joseph Joscphs. the Z year old
Lackawannn boy. and of Michael
Kruck the New York ncwsboy. Dc.
ccmbcr 12. 1902
Roth the Joscphs hoy. whose dis
membered body was found In cess
pool back OF n saloon In Lnckawanna,
November. 1C. and the kruck boy
were stranSled to death.
Hickett attributed his crimes Ia
the excessive use OF liquor. When
drunk. he said. he was possessed OF
nm irresistible mania for killing
boys. He denied he had committed
similar crimes and said he was re.
sponsiblc for crimes and expected 10
pay the penalty.
Young Josephs disappeared the
aficrnoon OF October ~. 1911. Ills
father. George Joscphs. n prominent
merchant Of Lackawanna. insisted
from the start that the boy had been
kidnapped and country wide search
was instituted.
Hickey was arrested at u colony
for inebriatcs at Whiting. y. j..
November 10. His fondness for writ
ing postal cards to the police proved
his undoing. He mailed cards from
Boston and New York which were
published In n newspaper and led a
friend of Hickey's to inform the po-
lice OF his suspicious. The order for
his arrest followed. In one postal
from Boston. the then unknown
writer wrote Of the Kruck murder
as follows:
"wednesday night, December 1902
"I enticcd Michael Kruck. a news.
boy at Eighty-sixth street and Cen
trail Park west. New York city. into
the Park opposite the entrance to tho
Arsenal police station. I strangled
him and Just escaped the officer who
found him as ! came back flew words
here illegiblc). Three timesc have
taken life and cannot help"
Another. card from Boston told oi
the Joseph boy and where the bod,
would be found. The police follow
ed the minute Instructions on the
card and recovered the body in de
composed fragments. Hickey vii
bS formally arraigned Monday OF
the charge of murder in the first de
gree.
The body of Michael Kruck, one o
the boys Hickey confessed havin,
murdered was found in an excava
tion In Central Park the night o
December 10. 1902. Death had beer
due to strangulation. His father
who is Il tailor. and his mother are
still living in this city. Suspicious
was directed toward Hickey at th
time. and he was picked up in Buffalo
in a maudlin condition. In semi-de
lerious state he confessed to the mur
der. but when the effects OF the II
lquor wore Off. he repudiated tn
confession and was subsequently re
leased owing to lack of evidence.
