EXPERT DRAFTS
LIGHT FRANCHISE
City Secures Electrical Expert Who
Submits Franchise Acceptable
to Members of Council.
COMPANY MUST ExPENo $4,000
Franchise As Prepared Protects the
City in Every Way, in Case It
Is Adopted.

Since the defeat of the electric light
franchise year ago considerable eff.
fort has been made to prepare fran.
chise that would be free from objec.
tions on the part of both the city and
the electric light company.
One of the purposes has been on
the part of the company to offer q
franchise less voluminous than the old
one, which was voted down before, and
which developed opposition on account
of it's length, and with that thought
in mind several months ago the com.
pany prepared franchise and sub
mitted it to the council, which did not
embrace more than third OF what the
old one embraced and which the com.
pany thought avoided the objection
able features in the one now in force.
At the various meetings held to con-
slider the franchise presented by the
company no serious objections were
manifested by the city, but 1t was
thought better to let the matter drift
along and consider it without haste,
and while the company on two or
three occasions had invited an expert
to be present, the city felt that it
would be the part of wisdom to also
select an expert to consider the propo-
sition, and with this thought in mind
a couple of weeks ago an expert con-
nected with one of the large electrical
houses of Kansas City came here on
invitation of the members of the coun-
Gil and after consulting with them an
agreement was entered into by which
he was to take with him to Kansas
City the franchise which the company
had prepared and which had been un-
der consideration for some time, and
after considering it, he was to pre-
pare franchise such as in his judg-

A WEEK OF
MANY PROGRAMS
Commencement Week of Our Schools
Very Busy One for All Those
Concerned in 1t. -.
MAY FESTIVAL HELD SATURDAY
Farce by Glass at Assembly Room on
Saturday and Monday Evening
Proves Very Entertaining. :.

Since last Saturday the Denison
| high school has been the center of in
terest to people in this locality. Each
evening some event of commencement
week is given, and so far each enter
| tainment has been most creditable,
which reflects the high standing of the
faculty and students of our high
school. Commencement time has al
ways been looked upon as gala week,
but this years program has certainly
surpassed all others. Denison people
are more than pleased with the ef-
forts made by both the class of 1913
and the faculty, who have done so
much in guiding them through their
last year in high school.
May Day Festival.
The May day festival, which was
held in Washington park on Saturday
afternoon, was without a doubt the
most unique entertainment that has
ever been given during a commence
ment week in Denison.
The May festival was the idea of
Miss Jenkins, instructor of English in
the high school, who planned the pro-
gram and trained the participants.
This is an annual event in many of the
larger universities of the country and
for many it was the first event of it's
kind they ever witnessed.
Washington park was an ideal spot
for the carrying out of the festivities,
the beautiful trees and green grass
affording excellent settings for the
event, Promptly at 2 O'Clock the pro-
Rcession entered the park from the
northwest corner and marched to the
center, Miss Josie Kinney playing the
accompaniment on the piano. The
procession was headed by Miss Anna
Staley, who wore a pretty pink dress

ished doctrine in the south of state
rights, that is that the states were
sovereign and supreme, and that the
constitution was but a compact be
tween the states which could be dis
solved at will rather than a bond o1
union between the people of the sew
eral states in the union. All of these
grounds and others were mentioned
as causes which led up to the unfor
tunate civil war and were mentioned
in way to hold the undivided atten
ton of the audience. The hardships
and privations endured by the union
soldiers; the sacrifice made by wives
mothers and daughters; the loss Of
life in southern prisons, hospitals and
on the battlefields, were all portrayed
as a part of the cost to the country
to preserve the union. The speaker
described the great benefits which
came to the country through the he
roic services and sacrifices of the men
some of whom were before him, 9th
ers scattered throughout the broad
land, but constantly decreasing in
numbers by death, but the great ma
jority sleeping in graves on southern

was traced by the speaker and no
doubt the rapid development of the
race in the few years since held in

were present. In the comparison with

pear to suffer. In fact the progress
of the colored people during the fifty
years since they gained their freedom

ment the city should require to be
submitted.
One day last week this expert re-
turned with the franchise prepared in
his Office, which was intended as a
substitute for the one which the COM
pany had prepared, and was so much
unlike it that one would scarcely be-
lieve that the two franchises were in
tended for the same plant. After the
expert and the members of the coun-
Gil had considered the new franchise
for several hours the members of the
company were told that they could
have chance to look it over and make
such objections as they desired. A
meeting was held at which the new
franchise was discussed, but few
changes were permitted to be made
in it as the expert was firm in his
conviction that his franchise was up
to-date, and as nearly perfect as a
franchise could be drawn, that it was
his business to draw franchises for
just such cases and that his expert
ence was a guarantee of the perfec-
ton of his franchise.
The franchise which is offered re-
duces the income of the company on
commercial and residence lighting in
excess of a thousand dollars annually
over what the income now is. The
requirements made in the new fran
chise of the city demands improve
ments which are certainly beyond
what any person expected would be
demanded of the company. The de-
mand is that the company shall ex-
pend $4,000 the first year and $4,000
the next year, making 100000 in all
in remodeling the plant and this re-
needed or not, and to insure this
amount being expended the company
is required to have plans and speci-
fications prepared within ninety days
after the passage of the ordinance for
approval of the council and if ap-
proved, then the company is ex-
pected to make the improvements
strictly according to the plans and
specifications and to insure this being
done the company is required to put
up bond of $4,000 with sureties
to be approved by the city council.
The franchise as prepared is double
the length or more than the one which
the company had prepared, but the
expert insists that he has covered on

DR., SENSENEY IN
MASTERLY SERMON
Memorial Day Sermon Best One Ever
Delivered in Denison, Is Opinion
Of Everyone Hearing It. :.
CREATES PROFOUND IMPRESSION
Speaker Had Mastered Questions
Which Divided South and North
and Brought War.

Memorial services were held in the
Baptist church on Sunday morning,
several of the churches uniting in the
service. While the weather was un.
favorable, yet good representation
of the members of the Grand Army
was on hand. The Relief Corps was
we'll represented, as was also the Sons
of Veterans. The church was COM
fortably filled with members of the
churches and citizens generally.
The music for the occasion was fur
nished by the Baptist choir and it is
unnecessary to say the singing was
all that could be expected.
The sermon was delivered by DR..
Senseney, of the First Methodist
church of this city. While great
many memorial sermons have been
delivered in Denison. there never was
a better one delivered in the city on
an occasion of this kind. The speaker
seemed to have mastered the questions
which divided the people of the north
and south and brought on the civil
war, through which the country
passed from 1860 to 1865. Not single
cause which contributed to bring
on the conflict between the north and
the south was omitted and not a
single cause assigned but what did
contribute, either directly or indirect
ly toward the unhappy rebellion. The
differences socially between the north
and the south; the condition of slav-
cry, which existed in the south while
in the north labor was free; a desire
on the part of the statesmen OF the
south regardless of all costs, to make
slavery universal which was as earn
estly opposed by the north; the fault
of the constitution of the United
States which recognized slavery when
it was adopted; the Dred Scott decis-
ion of the supre ne court; the cher

SUDDEN DEATH0F
7. {. MCCARTHY
Community Startled at Announcement
Of Death Of One of Denison's
Well Known Citizens.
HEART FAILURE CAUSES DEATH
Funeral Held This Forenoon Was One
Of the Largest Held in Deni-
son in Many Months.

The community was startled or
Monday forenoon at the announcement
of the death of T. C. Mccarthy, which
occurred about II o'clock in the fore
noon at his beautiful home in North
Denison. While many of his friends
more familiar with the progress of his
ailment were impressed with the seri
BUSINESS of his illness and even pre-
pared to hear of it's fatal termination
people generally expected him to re
cover and to be engaged in his bust
ness in short time.
Thomas Charles Mccarthy was born
on the 18th of August, 1860, making
his age at the time of his death about
SO years, at Davenport, Iowa, and came
with his parents to Crawford county
about thirty-five years ago, where he
has since resided, most of the time
here in Denison. His father departed
this life on his birthday about ten
years ago, but his mother still survives
him. He was married in 1887 to Miss
Elizabeth Fitzpatrick, who was raised
in this locality, and survives him. The
deceased has two brothers living. Pat.
rick Mccarthy, Of Springfield, S. D.,
and John, of this city; also two sis.
ters, Anna and Ella, both living in
Denison.
About five weeks ago Mr.. Mccarthy
visited Excelsior Springs, Mo-, think
ing that the waters of that place would
benefit him, but he failed to secure
the results that he had hoped for. His
lungs became involved and later his
heart and it is supposed that the lat
ter was the cause of his death.
Mr.. Mccarthy was one OF the enter
prising citizens of Denison and was
a person willing to invest his money
in Denison, his home city in which he
