Don't forget the football game to-
morrow afternoon between Denison
and Jefferson. This will be the last
game of the season and as the local
team has few old scores to settle it
promises to be one of the most eXcit-
ing games that has been played here
for some time. Denison has not lost
a single game this season, but two
of the games were tied. Everyone
turn out and help cheer the local team
to victory.
The eighty-six saloons in the city of
Des Moines suddenly discontinued
business last week in about thirty
minutes after the supreme court Of
the state decided the petition of con-
sent under which they were running
was not legal. We do not see, judg-
ing from the facts, that the supreme
court could have done anything diff
ferent from what it did 1t is said
that other petitions are in circulation
with view of gaining legal consent
under which they may be opened.
Mr. A. G. Weeks returned on Tues
day afternoon from Omaha, where he
had been in attendance on his wife,
who is at the point of death. This
|good lady, so we'll and favorably
known in Denison is suffering with a
disease perhaps as rare as any other
disease known to the medical profess
sion. The disease is known as penn
phigus, and it's victim suffers most ex-
cruciating agony from which death
alone will bring relief. When once
fastened upon a person it is said to be
absolutely incurable. Those who have
seen Mrs. Weeks lately say that she
is failing rapidly and that her death
is only question of very short time.
The sympathy of the entire commun-
lily is with this good woman in her
great suffering
Messrs. Spaulding, of Grinnell, and
Harlan, of Tama, have been investi-
eating the Lincoln highway across
Iowa with view of holding speed
test across the state, and if possible
lower the record made by Harold
Wells over the River to River road a
week ago. Both of the gentlemen have
been out on the Lincoln highway and
as far west as Carroll getting acquaint-
ed with the road and interesting auto
mobile and good roads men in the run
which they intend to make. They Wis
|ited Carroll last Saturday and drove
la Spaulding Scout, made for coast
to coast run, and the same car in
which Mr.. Wells made his record of
1878 miles in 9 hours and IA minutes,
at the same time lowering the worlds
record over dirt highway in an en-
durance run. 1t is the opinion of both
of these gentlemen that the record
across the state can be lowered over
the Lincoln highway route.
