No Authority to Use Name.

Certain parties who are canvassihg
the county and soliciting orders for
clothing and other goods, are taking
the liberty, it is said, of using the
name of one of the banks of DenisOn
and claiming the bank has investigat.
ed the character and condition OF
the solicitors and that their standing
is all right. A reporter of this paper
called upon the bank and was told
by the officials of the bank most en-
phatically that it has not made any
investigation which would enable it to
pass an opinion upon the character
or financial condition of the solicitors
and does not desire any one to believe
reports to the contrary.
The bank simply states that it has
not sufficient information to express
any opinion about these people and
therefore does not want any one to
believe that it has expressed or in
tends to express an opinion. 1t does,
however, repudiate any statements
which may have been made by these
people that the bank indorses them.

ATTEMPT TO
ROB DRUG STORE
Lamborn Drug Store Scene Of At
tempted Burglary Friday Night
ENTERS by the Basement.
UNABLE TO REACH STORE ROOM
Cuts Hole Through Floor Door With
Pocket Knife, But Braces Prove
Too Much for Burglar.

A sneak thief gained entrance to
the Lamborn drug store basement on
Friday night by knocking out an out
side door leading to the basement.
He was prevented from getting to
the main floor, however, because of
heavy braces which held the floor
door down. The door leading from
the store room to the basement is in
the extreme rear Of the building and
when closed for the night is braced
down with two heavy braces, one at
each end of the door. The thief was
undoubtedly aware of these braces, in
asmuch as they can be seen through
the rear window, but he undoubtedly
thought he could remove them by cut
ting through the door. This he pro-
ceeded to do, and succeeded in re-
moving one of the braces, but was
either frightened or concluded the re-
labor in cutting another hole in order
suit might not warrant the extra
to reach the other brace.
One of the lower shelves upon
which rested number of large bot
ties was Jared loose, and the noise
made by the falling bottles may have
frightened the burglar. Nothing was
taken from the basement, as the mon
ey drawer and safe were undoubtedly
the attractions. From the appearance
of the door an ordinary pocket knife
was used and the burglar must have
been without flash light as charred
cravings we're found on the steps.
Marshal Weeks is thought to have
had clew as to who the burglar was,
for the next day stranger was placed
it, the city Jail whose pocket knife
contained some pine shavings in the
handle, but the marshal was unable
to fasten any proof upon the fellow
and he was allowed to go his way.

INDIVIDUAL FIRE
ESCAPES ADDED
Hotel Denison Provided With Fifty
Additional Fire Escapes, One
From Each Room.
BUILDING is WELL EQUIPPED
New Escapes Attached to Window
Casing and Easily Operated
Without Least Danger.

Landlord Nielsen, of the Hotel Den
ison, is constantly adding new de-
vices for the safety of his guests, and
the latest improvement is system
of individual fire escapes. Each one
of the fifty guest rooms has been pro
vided with an escape, in addition to
the regularly established avenues OF
escape. The new appliance consists
of a rope, one end of which is Sc.
curely fastened to the window casing
A strong belt hangs ready to be
slipped under the arms, and taking
hold of the rope all one has to do is
to drop from the window and he is
gradually lowered to safety by his
own weight. Printed cards are placed
near the room telephone, describing
the method for using the escape and
the instructions are so plain that 9
child can understand them. Aside
from these new escapes there are the
regulation escapes attached to the
building. At the end of the hall on
the third floor is collapsable iron
ladder, to be thrown from the window
and the main stationary stairway on
the south of the building.
The Hotel Denison is one of the
safest hotel on the Northwestern
line, and the travelling public is be-
ginning to appreciate the fact more
and more, and many of the CONNER
cial men come considerable distance
to stop over night Mr.. Nielsen has
recently had all of the upper floors
refreshened and tinted and the hotel
throughout compares very favorably
with all leading hotels of the cities.

PASSES 63D MILESTONE.
Andy Bell, Father of County Attorney
Bell, ModestIy Celebrates Ami
versary on Monday.

Mr.. Andy Bell, who recently moved
into Denison from his farm in Para
disc township and purchased the Hill
property, passed his 63d milestone on
Monday last, and by way of celebrat-
ing the occasion a small company of
immediate friends were invited to par
take of 6 o'clock dinner Mr.. and
Mrs. Bell were ably assisted by their
two bright and promising sons, Andy,
the county attorney, and Henry, the
efficient news writer on the Bulletin.
The dinner was much enjoyed and the
evening spent in relating early events
in Mr.. Bells life, and the many
vicissitudes encountered in LIES
work. Mr.. Bell is one of the early set
tiers of Crawford and by hard work
and integrity has gained a compe-
tency that he is able to enjoy in his
reclining years. The Review trusts
that both Mr.. and Mrs. Bell may live
to celebrate many such occasions as
took place at their home on Monday.

COMMENCEMENT
MAY THE oath
New and Novel Feature to Be Intro.
duced for First Time at the
Commencement.
REV. sENsENEY GIVES SERMON
Mrs. E. w. Fellows Chosen Dean of
Women and Will Crown the
May Queen. ..

The Review of last week published
automatically an outline of the pro
gram as will be carried out at the
commencement of the Denison high
school, with the exception Of giving
the name of the person who would
preach the baccalaureate sermon
There have been some additions to
the program since, and we therefore
give a synopsis again this week.
The high school commencement
exercises will begin on Saturday, May
Oath. In the afternoon there will be
the browning of the May Queen at
Washington park. This part of the
program will be new for Denison. 1t
is taken from one of the most enjoy
able of the commencement exercises
in many of our colleges. The May
Queen is chosen from the senior class
by ballot, all of the students in the
high schoo voting. Miss Louise
Jones has been thus chosen for the
queen this year. She will be attend
ed by a maid of honor and attendants
representing the other classes in the
high school. The GROWING of the
May Queen in college is generally
done by the dean of women. Mrs.
Fellows has been chosen for this hon
or for the high school.
After the browning of the queen
there will be exercises in her honor
something after the manner of the
old Greclan games. There will be a
May pole dance by girls of the ninth
grade, the Flower drill by girls of the
tenth grade and a Japanese drill by
girls of the eleventh grade. Then
there will be athletic contests and the
browning Of the victor with the olive
wreath by the May Queen. The teach
ers have so arranged that if the
weather makes it impossible to hold
these exercises on Saturday afternoon
Monday afternoons schedule of exam
nations will be given on Saturday so
that the open air program can be
carried out Monday afternoon.
On Saturday evening the class will
present the farce, "The Unexpected
Honor" at the high school assembly
room. On account of the limited seat
ing capacity no tickets will be sold.
Each member of the class will have
his share and will distribute them
among his friends.
On Sunday evening at the Metho-
dist church DR.. Senseney will preach
the baccalaureate sermon.
On Tuesday evening, May 9th, the
class will render literary program
at the Methodist church. This will
consist of orations, readings and
music, and will be given entirely by
members of the class. This will be
the dignified part of the commence
ment week program, as far as the
class is concerned.
On Wednesday evening, May 2Sth,
