 Very little is being heard of Harmon and Underwood now, although the state has been flooded with Harmon literature. The Champ Clark boom has been given some impetus by the with drawal of Folk and his espousal of the Clark cause. Wilson re- mains the man most talked about. and the Harvcy-Watter- son incident seems to have strengthened rather than.injured him in the estimation of the peo: ple.

METHODIST CHURCH.

We call in all preaching ser vice at the Methodist church for next Sunday. in the interest of the union revival at the ware house.
 A great revival in Brinkley is a thing for which Gods people here have been working and praying and talking for a long time. Now the time is here, and a better prospect for a mighty revival l have never seen, for which reason. to be less than intensely consecrated, and enlisted in the work just now, could be nothing but suici- dal to the Christian life of the community. Therefore l urge, I pray with a yearning heart that all members of my charge betake themselves to most im- portunate prayer, and work that God in His great goodness will give to this town such a bless ing. that it may be known as a new town, out and out. Sing, 1 pray, and shout, that the world may know that you really love the God that has loved you and redeemed you.

MAYOR IN CONTEST.
With The COUNCIL
Contest Between City Officials Waoing
Over Erection Of Popcorn Booth
on Main Street.
ODDS IN FAVOR OF THE MAYOR
Dispatch to WorId-Herald Says Pub.
lie Opinion is About Equally
Divided on Question

The Omaha WOrld-Herald of Sunday
contains the following dispatch from
Denison:
Considerable agitation is manifest
ed over the erection of a popcorn and
peanut booth on one of Denison's main
thoroughfares, and there is consider
able feeling between the mayor and
the city council. The mayor issued
a license to the popcorn vendor and,
it is claimed, without the sanction of
the council. A meeting of the c0un-
Gil was held and the matter thorough
ly aired, but no definite action taken.
The mayor says if the booth is re.
moved he will Immediately enforce the
blue laws and close every place of
business in the city on Sunday. He
says he will prohibit merchants from
the use of sidewalks for display Of
their goods and will clean up the en-.
tire town.
Public opinion seems about equally
divided over the affair, as the vender
is an old soldier, with family and
says he has no other means of sup
port. If the blue laws are enforced
the citizens will be deprived of their
Sunday papers, the postoffice will be
closed, bakeries and candy shops viii
close as will livery stables and feed
barns"
1t seems to be a contest between
the mayor and marshal on one side in
favor of maintaining the building on
the public street, and the city council
on the other, who are opposed to the
street being used for the purpose of
erecting and maintaining a building
thereon to be used for business pur-
poses. 1t is dollars to doughnuts: that
the mayor and marshall will win out
in the contest.

DEATH OF MISS KATE SWEENEY
A Faithful School Teacher and Worthy
Lady Dies at Home Of Sister
in Artesian, S. D.

On last Sunday morning the sad
news reached Denison friends of the
death of Miss Kate Sweeney, who for
many years was one Of the faithful
school teachers of this county. She
died at the home of her sister, Mrs.
Wealoga, at Artesian, S. D., where
she went last spring in hopes of bene-
fitting her health, thus prolonging her
life in spite of the disease of con-
sumption, which she has been braVely
fighting for over four years.
Miss Sweeney was q young woman
of most beautiful character, her
sweet smile and pleasing manner OF
speech will long be remembered by
all with whom she was acquainted
and especially the children whom she
taught. For many terms she was
teacher at the Nelson school in Boyer
township, which is in the extreme
southwestern corner of our county.
A visit to her school room showed
the walls, and blackboards decorated
by her artistic hand. Her last school
was at Paradise center. She attend
ed the Denison schools for some time,
making her home with her uncle, Mr..
Frank Fee, and thus many of our peo'
ple are acquainted with her. Our
hearts 90 out in sympathy to the sOr-
rowing sister and the family. Miss
Sweeney made her home during a
number of vacation times with Mrs.
Bert Woodruff, of Goodrich township,
who appreciated her noble character.

COMIC 0PERETTA

"The Captain Of Plymouth" Presented
by High School Pupils, Under
Direction Of Miss LaIIy.

'.The Captain of Plymouth" comic
operetta in three acts, was presented
by the pupils of the Denison high
school at the Germania opera house
Tuesday evening, under the direction
of Miss Beatrice Lally. instructor of
music of the Denison public schools.
The opera house was filled to over
flowing long before the time set for
the operetta, with the friends and rel
atives of those who took part in the
program.
The entertainment was a most cred
liable one from start to finish and
showed very careful training on the
part of the participants. For many
years it has been the custom of the
high school pupils to give an enter
tainment of this nature under the SUI
perintendency of the musical director
in order that the people of Denison
may know just what is being done in
the music department of the schools,
and we feel safe in saying that never
before have the high school students
exhibited their musical talent to bet
ter advantage than last evening.
The program opened with the
prelude played by Miss Mary Lally on
the piano and Mr.. ]. V. Barborka as
violinist, who furnished the accom-
paniment throughout the entire enter.

although it was his first appearance
on the stage, he acted his part in a
delightful manner. Alden, diligent
scribe of Miles Standish, whose part
was taken by Hubert VanNess, had
been secured to present Miles Stand
ish's offer of marriage to Priscilla, the
| fairest maid of Plymouth, and the part
of Priscilla was taken by Miss Rachael
Lally, who sang and presented her part
in pleasing manner. But before
John Alden had delivered the propos-
al of Standish to Priscilla it is an
nounced that Miles and his invincible
army have arrived they are greeted by
the Puritans, after which Standish
exhibits his skill in drilling his army,
comparing himself to julius Caesar.
Rowland Jones takes the part of Miles
Standish in an exquisite and pleasing
manner and his invincible army cre-
ated a great deal of mirth in the ex-
hibition of drills. Miles Standish at

in most curt manner and this act

The second act portrays a scene
in Priscilla's home and here we find
her at the spinning wheel singing
love song, at the close of which Alden
appears, still pressing the suit of
Miles Standish, only to arouse her in
dignation and asking him to speak
for himself, and this scene closes with
beautiful duet rendered by John and
Priscilla.
The next scene finds Erasmus and
Miles held captives by the Indians.
The part of Erasmus was taken by
Loyal Voss, who represented the part
in fine way. This is followed by an
Indian ghost dance, headed by Paul
Caswell, who displayed his musical
genius. Katonka EDNA Henry freed
the captives after some persuasion on
the part of Standish, who promised
to wed ner, and the curtain was drop
ped on the second act.
Act three opened with a scene of
the Plymouth colony, where the whole
colony had gathered to celebrate the
wedding of Priscilla and Standish. A
beautiful song was rendered by Mercy,

Will ERECT A
new ELEVATOR
Doud Milling Company to Spend S.,
10000 in the Erection Of New
Elevator Next Spring.
OLD BUILDINGS ARE TORN DOWN
New Structure to be 20 Feet Square
and Will Have a Capacity for
10000 Bushels.

The Doud Milling company is max
ing arrangements for the erection of
a large elevator with the beginning
of spring, and on Friday of last week
was in consultation with Mr.. G. H.
Birchard, of Lincoln, Neb., an archi-
tect of wide reputation, regarding the
plans. Mr.. Birchard was in Denison
and thoroughly investigated the
grounds, etc., and will at once begin
work on the plans and specifications.
The new elevator will be erected
just south of the mill proper, where
the present old elevator stands. The
building will be 40 feet square,
with capacity of 100000 bushels of
grain. It will be modern throughout,
and the estimated cost is $6,00O.O0.
The Doud people have been greatly
handicapped from the fact that the
present quarters were insufficient in
storage capacity and the increasing
business demands larger and more up
to-date quarters.
Under the efficient management of
Mr.. u. L. Fitch the busines is stead
lily growing, and farmers are very lib
orally patronizing the concern. The
price paid for grain is said to be from
10 to 12 cents higher than is paid in
other parts of the county, and grain
is being hauled from considerable dis
tance to. Denison. Fifty bushels OF
wheat to the load means $500 extra
to the farmer, and this is worth while.
Mr.. Fitch informs the Review that
the milling business is rapidly reach
ing out, and their flour is meeting
with the approval of many families
over the county who have heretofore
used foreign-made flour. This fact
alone encourages the company to
greater efforts, and is an inducement
for further improvements in the mill

CLOSE OF NOVEMBER

LARGE Number Of Cases Will Go Over
Until the Next Term Of Dis.
trict Court for Trial.
JUDGE cRowDING THE WORK
In the Case Of Frahm vs. LoeWe Ver-
dict is Rendered by the Jury in
Favor Of the Plaintiff.

District court will close at the end
of this week and large number of
cases will go over to the next term
for trial. Three weeks is scarcely
enough time to dispose of the busi-
ness here. 1t may be that after we
catch up with the work on hand that
this period will be long enough to trans
act all the business. Judge Hutchin-
son has crowded business along as
fast as possible and no blame can be
placed upon him for all the cases of
the docket not being disposed of.
The case of Miller VS. Backhaus,
which was on trial last week at the
time the paper went to press, was dis.
posed of Thursday by the defendant
paying the claim of plaintiff and the
costs in the case, which resulted in
the withdrawal of the case.
On Monday of this week the case of
Frahm VS. Loewe was called for trial
before the jury and was submitted TO
the jury yesterday afternoon, and last
evening a verdict was rendered in
favor of the plaintiff, which proved
a compromise. The claim of the
plaintiff being $275.O0, while the ver-
dict of the jury was $4,000. This
was contest between two neigbors
over the quantity of corn contained in
a crib and should have been settled
out of court.
Another case of considerable i'm
portance is the case of Alfred Birk
hofer VS. the Hamlin Construction
company, and is brought to recover
damages, as the plaintiff claims, are
Cue to negligence in the construction
of the drainage ditch through the
plaintiffs land. The defendants con-
tention is that it is not its fault and
