Springfield. H., Jan. 50.--William
Mckinley, Democrat. OF Chicago,
was ccted speaker OF the House OF
Representatives of the Forty-eighth
General Assembly at 6;f5 this
evening.
The election OF Mckinley to the
speakership was brought about by a
combination OF Democratic and Re-
publican votes with one Progressive
breaking the ties OF a party caucus
and casting his vote with the win
ming combination. Eighty-three
votes were cast for him on the 18TH
and final ballot; So Democrats and
46 Republicans and l Progressive
made up the list. The GA other votes
were divided as FOL ows:
Carter, Progressive, "A; Hubbard
Democrat, Ia; Rapp, Democrat. s;
Karch, Democrat, 5; Mclaughlin
Democrat, 4; Tice, Republican, 4 !;
.sseslnaH, Soesaiist. Z: iinslmaas
Democrat /. Five m0nbcrs were abb
sent.
Not even the election Of William
Lorimer TO the United States Senate
four years ago furnished more
spectacu ar scene than that oil the
breaking OF the deadlock. There
were speeches galore and much ex-
planning OF votes. There were also
charges sufficiently directed to pro-
woke responses from the members at
whom they were directed.
While no suggestion OF Doodle
was offered and every speaker pro-
testing against new alignment
was careful to state his conviction
that no bribery was resorted to, 1t
was freely charged that a deal had
been made dividing the two United
States Senatorships. For this reason
q number OF Democrats who had
voted for Mckinley on previous roll
calls declined to support him on
the final ba lot.
So direct were the charges that a
deal had been made that Mckinley
from his desk in the midst OF the
final roll call made statement
denying that he had been party to
aay understanding regarding the
division OF the two Senatorships. He
called on the members to support
him or some other candidate giving
his pledge that he knew OF no deal
TO elevate him to the speakership
and declared that it elected to pre-
side over the House he would do so
fairly, impartial and to the best
of his abality.
Although no one questioned Nc
Kinley's statement leaders OF the Re-
publicans said tonight that they ex-
pected to land the six year term
Senatorship.
In accordance with Gov.-elect
Dunne's wishes the newly elected
state officers will be installed IN
their offices Saturday afternoon,
Feb, 1st.

RECEIVES BLACK
HAND" LETTER
Landlord Nielsen Recipient of Threat
ening Episte, Sent Through Mail,
Wherein He is "Boycotted.
OBJECTS TO KEEPING SALESMAN
Des Moines Clothing Salesman Evil
IDENTIFY Not Wanted in Denison,
According to Sender of Letter

A circular letter, sent to Denison
by a Des Moines clothing firm, saying
representative would visit this city
and establish quarters for two days
at the Hotel Denison, has Seemingly
caused uneasiness within the breast
of some citizen and Landlord Nielsen
has been censured for harboring the
said Des Moines salesman.
On Saturday last Mr. Nielsen re-
ceived an unsigned letter through the
Denison mails, in which was enclosed
one of the Des Moines firms circU-
lars, and an unintelligible letter writ
ten with lead pencil, presumably TAX
ing Mr.. Nielsen to task for renting
his sample rooms to transient mer-
chants" The letter has aroused Mr..
Nelson's ire and he intends, if pos
sible, to locate the sender. The Hotel
Denison is in no way interested with
any firm selling goods and is not re-
sponsible for the coming of the afore-
said salesman, nor the sending of the
circular letters. The hotel is open
for business in it's line and has rooms
and sample rooms for rent and fur
nishes meals, and as long as a guest
is not an escaped criminal and has
the money to pay his way, no ques-
tons are asked. Every day there are
statesmen occupying the sample rooms
in all lines of business. Why this
particular case is brought out and
made much ado over is beyond under
standing. If there is any citizen of
Denison who takes exception to the
coming of this salesman into the city,
there is an ordinance regulating tran.
sient' merchants and upon complaint,
may be enforced. The "black hand
method resorted to is despicable and
shows a weakness on the part of the
sender, such as to render him sub
ject for Clarinda or like state insti
tuition.

Immediately took up correspondence
course and was diligent student un-
til the time of his death. He gradu-
ated in music from the DenisOn Nor
nal and Business college in the class
of 1907, and the same year gradu-
ated in the subject of piano tuning
from a college at Valparaiso, Ind. Soon
after graduating from piano tuning
he accepted position with the Nor
rison Music company at Cumberland,
Nd and for some time tuned pianos
at their factory. His work in this line
was so good that the company sent
him to different cities in the United
States to tune their electric pianos
and in this manner he visited the most
important cities in the east. Later he
went west and spent two years traV-
cling on the western coast and in Mex
ico Two years ago he returned to
Denison and since that time has been
living here with his parents.
Russell was taken i'll only two weeks
prior to his death with what was sup
posed to be severe attack of the
grip. At that time he complained OF
an ear ache and deafness in one ear.
A week ago last Tuesday his condi-
ton became worse and specialist
was called from Omaha to diagnose
his case, which he pronounced to be
tuberculosis of the brain, and the spe-
cialist held but very little hope for
his recovery. A trained nurse was
summoned from Omaha, who, togeth-
er with the loved ones at home, did
all in their power to comfort him. He
rapidly failed and was unconscious
for several days before he passed
away. He leaves to mourn his death
besides his loving parents, two sisters,
namely: Garnet Lucille and Ruby
Winifred, and one brother, Harold
Mckinley.
The funeral services were held at
the Baptist church, of which he was
member for number of years, this
afternoon at 2:3O o'clock, Rev. Will
Jams, pastor of that church, officiating.
The floral tributes were many and
beautiful, and only showed in what
high esteem he was held by all who
knew him. Interment was made in
Oakland cemetery.
The Review joins with host OF
friends in extending their sympathy to
the bereaved family.
