One Hundred and Eighty Teachers
Are Enrolled and Many More

Excellent Corps Of Instructors Have
Charge of Work and Are Giving
Best of Satisfaction.

college on Monday bright and early
A good number of teachers were pres.
ent and every train brought others
The enrolment reached about 1S0 and
a number are here from surrounding
counties.
Primary work is in charge of Miss
Bess Foster, of the Cheyenne, Wyo.,
public schools. The program is so ar
ranged that nearly everyone can get
the very profitable work for the teach
ers of the rural schools. Her classes
are very largely attended and much
ing work out of the regular hours.
Music and penmanship is under the
direction of Miss Anna Casey, of Sid
ney. Special effort is being made
by Professor Olry to improve the pen
manship OF the teachers and pupils
of the county. To this end more at
tention is being given to penmanship
than in some of the years past. Miss
Casey also has a large class in music.
Prof. H. H. Hahn, of the State Nor
NAL school at Wayne, Neb., gives a
lecture each day besides instructions
in grammar. He is giving the teach
ers much help in the principle and
practice of teaching, as we'll as some
training in the rural school subjects.
The problems that are now under
discussion by the leading educators
are taken up and explained, and he
shows the teachers how to make prac-
teal application of the new ideas.
Supt E. w. Fellows has two classes
in parliamentary training which are
largely attended. The teachers are
equipping themselves to show our fu-
ture citizens how to organize and

cenison Electric Light Company |.
Again in Limeight-Pumping Of
City Water Chief Cause.
SHORTCOMINGS ARE CRITICIZED
Bulletin Bewails FraiItes Of Company
to Perfection, An Art Casweli is
Thoroughly Familiar With.

The Denison Electric Light com,
pany has been in the limelight agair
for the past week.
Someone has said that corpora
ton has no soul to be damned or tc
be saved; if the saying is true and
applies to the electric light company
nothing short of this fact would have
saved the company from the former
fate during the last week.
The company has been acquainted
with greif so long that any additional
abuse of it creates no surprise.
Last summer the company was
abused because it did not bury its
wires, although the man who perse.
cuted it was unable to find other
cities in the state where their wires
were buried; later on its application
for a renewal of its franchise was
voted down by the good people of the
community, and during the last week
it has been held up to ridicule and
scorn because it is complained that
water is not kept in the standpipe
adequate enough to protect the inter-
ests of the community.
The last trouble started on account
Of a storm which visited this COM
munity one week ago last Monday
night, when stable or building of
some kind in the southern part of the
city was struck by lightning. How
much blame is attached to the electric
light company for the lightning strik-
ing the barn, we do not know, but it
is universally admitted that when the
building was discovered to be on fire
the flames had made such rapid
progress that parties living a long
distance from the barn were able to
reach the scene of the fire before the
fire company appeared. No blame is
attached to the fire company, because
word was not received at the engine
room until a messenger could make

FATHER and SON
DROWN IN SOLDIER
Alfred TeIIgren and Son, Walter, Of
kiron, Lose Lives in Flood Sat-
urday Afternoon.
BETWEEN UTE AND SOLDIER
Were Going Home Along Track After
Placing Watchman on Bridge and
Water Carried Them Away.

Mr.. Alfred Tellgren, of Kiron, ant
son, Walter, aged IA years, were
caught in wall of water in the Sol
dier valley last Saturday afternoon
and both were drowned. The bodies
were not found until Monday after
noon and taken to Kiron Undertakel
Charles Bartcher, of Denison, pre-
pared them for burial and they were
laid to rest in the Kiron cemetery
The funeral services will be held or
Sunday next.
Mr.. Tellgren was the section fore
man for the Northwestern, his section
covering the distance between Ute
and Soldier, and he and his family
lived in a section house in the Soldier
valley. After Friday nights heavy
rain and on Saturday afternoon Mr.
Tellgren, together with his SON.
Walter, took some men and started
over the section to post sentinels and
watch the track and bridges.
After placing the men on the bridges
Mr.. Tellgren thought best to return to
the house, fearing the food water
might do some damage there. In this
he was discouraged by the son, but
the father persisted and he and his son
started toward home. After going
some distance from the bridge a wall
of water about two feet high rushed
down upon them and with such force
as to throw them off their feet and
carry them to death.
Aid was Immediately summoned, but
the search proved fruitless until Mon
day afternoon, when party of nearly
200 men found the badly swollen and
decomposed bodies.
Mr.. Tellgren had been a resident
of kiron for many years, where he and
his family had many friends. There
is left to mourn the untimely death
of father and son, the widow and four
children, the eldest being eight years
Of age.

teachers who are working for the frs
grade certificates are getting mucl
help in civics.
Prof. w. C. VanNess begins the
days work with class in arithmetic
This is one of the subjects which
takes large place in the rural schoo
work, and one in which the teachers
are very carefully tested in eXamina
ton. The discussion takes the par
ticular difficulties that the rura
teacher usually meets in the school
His other work is in civicss and polit
ical economy, which interests those
who are looking forward to first
class certificates. The work in civics
is largely in the line of experiments
In this he has an opportunity to show
by means of an apparatus at the col
lege. Many experiments are made as
practical as possible with help to.
wards something that may be done for
the pupils of the rural schools. The
filling out of reports is one of the
duties of the teacher, and instruc-

Thursday evening on the subject,

lecture is free to all and will be given
at the college chapel.
The rural graduating exercises will
be held in the opera house on Satur'

his way from the vicinity of the fire
to make the announcement. AS soor
as the alarm was given the fire was
reached, but it was too late to do any
thing toward putting out the fire, al
though some effort was made in that
direction. 1t is said that it required
twenty minutes to find a hydrant tc
which to attach the hose.
| While it is admitted that the fire
could not have been put out with any
| force of water, it is claimed the
depth of the water in the standpipe
was insufficient to have furnished
force enough to put out the fire had
the building been reached in the early
stages of the conflagration. Nothing
in particular was said about the mat
ter until Mr.. John Muir, chief of the
fire department, went before the city
council and complained that the vol
ume of water in the tank was not up
to what it should be. The city coun
Gil Immediately took action without
consulting with the members of the
plant, passing resolution requiring
the company to keep continuously 35
feet of water in the tank, although
there is no ordinance or franchise
requiring this to be done. And then
passed another resolution requiring
notice to be sent to wholesale elec-
trical plants of the country, notifying
them that there was an opportunity
for some one to get franchise to
pump water and furnish light for Den
ison
Then to cap the climax the matter
was turned over to the Bulletin to ex-
plot the shortcomings of the Elec-
trio light company in its next issue,
and no one can claim that it
did not do justice to the occasion. If
there is anything that the Bulletin
can do to perfection, it is to write up
the public utilities of DenisOn and
point out their short cOmlngS. ThlS
is done upon the theory of larger
patriotism on the part of the editor,
and desire to save the COM
munity from the want of loyal
ty on the part of the citizens
who have put their money into public
1t is easier to show
patriotism for the community by
criticising those who invest their
money for the public good than it is
to take stock in these institutions.
After the Bulletin came out with its
blast against the electric light COM
pany no one was disappointed that

MR.. MEYERS RESIGNS
AS POSTMASTER
Purchases a Newspaper at Marshall,
Ill.,, and Will Move to That City
in the Near Future.
RESIGNATION A GREAT SURPRISE
Has Been Prominent, Both As Citizen
and Politician, and Will Be
Missed by All.

A surprise which borders on the SEN
sational has come to Denison since
| the last issue of the Review. Mr.. F.
w. Meyers, for many years the pro-
prietor and editor of this paper, and
for the past eleven years postmaster
here, resigned his position as post
master, and will sever completely his
connections with the Review, and
move to Marshall, Ill.,, where he will
engage in newspaper work, having
purchased the republican newspaper
at that place.
We doubt if anyone living here was
advised of the movement which Mr..
Meyers contemplated taking, at least
nothing was heard of it until after the
l. fact was accomplished. Mr.. Meyers
has been so long a resident of Deni-
son, and so prominent in the affairs
of the community that his moving,
away from here will attract more than
usual attention. We regret to- see SO.
many citizens leaving Denison, and
especially men who have been factors
in the affairs of the community.
Mr.. Meyers has been prominent,
both as a citizen and as politician,
and will necessarily be missed by the
community and. the political party to
which he belongs. AS a writer few
men in the newspaper work excel him.
He has bright and attractive way of
expressing himself and one never
doubts, after reading an editorial,
where he stands on public questions.
No one in the community has been
more active in seeking to bring to
Denison improvements calculated to
build up the city He has always been
ready to support the political ambi-
tions of Denison men seeking state
and national recognition, and there
are a number of men in DenisOn who
are willing to testify to the success

 chine,

Little Rock, June 27-Thc Roose- velt Republicans in Arkansas ale re- pudiating the Taft ticket and plat form, and aligning themselves with the Progressives under the Oyster Bay pennant. The latest to return from Chicago is fCrmer Postmaster w. s. Holt, who is nest pronounce ed adherant of Roosevelt. He says there were ten rolled delegates from Arkansas in the conference wh oh nominated Roosevelt as the Progressive candidate. They were w. s. Holt A. s. Fowler, Wiley Welch Is2ac T. Gilman, Spellman of Gle burne county, and E. F. Ritter, of Marked Tree, and George C. LeWls, of Stuttgart. The solid delegations from twelve Republican states that had sat in the Republican convention, besides ten partial delegations, sat in the conference where the third party was born.
 MT. Holt bitterly denounces all O. the Republ can machinery in Arkan- sas and the nation, declares that they have won through chicanery and fraud, and that he declines to align himself with the receivers of stolen goods. It is expected that a state ment will be issued in few days oy the Progressives outlining their DO l. cies and plans. The Roosevelt state ticket will not be withdrawn.
