According to Associated Press dis
patches the Lozier Motor company is
in the hands of a receiver. 1t is un-
expected news for the automobile
world as it was thought that the
Lozier company was one of the most
substantial of the larger motor car
manufacturers. The Lozier company
had been making high grade motor
cars for dozen years since its incep-
ton in the old Pope machine works
at Westfield, Mass.
According to w. NJ Drennen. the local
distributor of the Lozer's, the receiver
ship is not likely to make any radical
difference In the output of the company.

SISTERS FIND HOARD
OF MISER BROTHER

Taken to a hospital in a dying condi-
ton, as an act of charity. Charles Per-
rine, rs years of age. an old soldier,
who has lived the life of a hermit 40
years, had $500 in bills in his clothes,
says a Newton Kansas special to the
New York World. The finding of this
money gave Perrine's sisters, Mrs.
Georgia Ann Muller of Girard, ILL.,. and
Mrs. Emily Waggoner of Villain, WASH,
who had been summoned here, an idea
that he might have more money con-
cea1ed In the house on his farm near
McLain. and visit there on the day
of his death, resulted in finding $395
In currency and $65 in gold in old
clothes hung on the wall of his bed
room.
No further search was made until
the second day following after his
funeral. when another search was
made and $1195 in currency found in
various places The search was kept
up until a total of $5135.s0 was un-
earthed.
Perrine came to this country 43 years
ago and homesteaded a farm near
McL4ain. About 20 years ago he quit
work and rented his farm. The small
amount he received as rent and q pen
sion of $40 month. cons'ltuted his en-
tire resources. His houfe was a two
room shack affair. and gave every evil
dence Of extreme poverty.
Old tin cans were heaped in one
corner Of the living room. Under a pile
of these a loose heap of bills amount
Ing to several hundred dollars was
found. In tin can was an old wallet,
made from the tops of a pair of boots,
which contained $685.. In q tobacco sack
covered by heap of old bottles, was
found $3.50 In gold. and money was
found in other unlikely places.

now valued at $4,000. Perrine was

In contrast to the bitter cry IN the
business world that times are hard
and money scarce comes the dramatic
announcement of the sales of the Ford
Motor company for the month of Au-
gust-the first month of the great Eu-
ropean war-the month when chaos
reigned in the marts of the world as
the direct result of the decision of
the largest world powers to engage
in war.
Over 10000 Ford cars were sold
during the month of August, accord
ing to Tied" Brownell, the local dis
tributor. Or to be exact, 20,63S of
these low priced machines were dis
tributed to various parts of the world
to buyers.
These figures said Mr. Browner,
ARE significant" They mean that the
sales for August, 1914, are almost 800 per
cent more than August last year. That is,
In August, 1913 the Ford company sold,
in round numbers, 7547 cars. When it is
remembered that August is always the
lightest month OF the year in sales the
Figures take on a new meaning. The real
significance in this larger volume of
sales lies in the fact that it encourages
the faith that the Ford company will
reach its goal of 100000 cars for this year
When the company announced the new
profit-sharing plan whereby the buyers OF
Ford cars between August of this year
and August 1, 1916, were to receive a
rebate of from $40 to $50, in addition to
an Immediate reduction in price. provided
$4,000 cars were sold within that period,

$4,000 EQUIPMENT FOR
TESTING HUPMOBILES

In line with the policy of maintaining
only the best equipment for produc-
ing Hupmobiles. the Hupp company has
recently made a large addition to their
test department.
'The dynamometer test" said Gentry
Elston of the Birmingham Motor COM
pany, lis mechanical apparatus used
for testing automobiles under all con-
ditions of road work. Formerly our
method of testing. as is the practice In
most motor companies, was to turn the
chassis over to a tester" to drive it
around in any shape or manner that
he sees fit Now in a test of this kind,
Where the car lis turned over to a
mechanic. the personal element of the
driver enters very strongly into the
results obtained. For instance, a cer-
tain car that one mechanic may say
is in perfect shape, might be turned
down by another man. You can plainly
see where matters of this kind are left
to ones own Judgment, there will be
difference of opinion between the en-
ployes.
with the dynamometer, the exact
opposite is the case, Each motor and
chassis is tested under the eye of an
expert Electric charts on the dyna-
mometer switchboard accurately show
| the exact conditions under which a car
| is working. AT the will of the opera
TOR the machine can be taken Off or a
smooth asphalt road, and made to. run
Under the worst sort of sand and mud
road condition. or the car can be made
to climb hill. In this dynamometer
test, we get an accurate reading of
the actual horsepower that each motor
develops. and every car that is turned
out must absolutely be up to a given
standard. which is impossible to obtain
under any other method.
"Other very important reasons why
the dynamometer is more efficient and
accurate than the former methods of
testing are the facts that the new ap-
paratus relieves the company of the
reliability of having testers on the
streets; we know that the machines are
being actually tested. and we know
that the mechanical test Is accurate to
a degree which would be impossible I'M

pany over $4,000. and 1t is similar to
TINT which Is used by manufacturers
of the leading high class cars 1t is
Just another reason why we believe
the Hupmobile is the best car OF its
class in the world"

HOSPITAL MAKING GOOD
Patients Receive Treatment Equally
As Good As Given by Hospitals
in the Large Cities.

The Review takes great pleasure in
directing the attention of our readers
to the work of the Denison hospital
under it's present management. 1t is
said by those who have visited other
hospitals in the larger cities nearby
that right here at home we can obtain
the necessary treatment, either in sur
gerry or for the various ailments and
diseases to which we are incident,
fully as we'll and for even less ex-
pense than will be required else
where and in the larger cities. A visit
to the operating room disclosed one
of the neatest and most sanitary and
best equipped rooms for that purpose
in the state. Surgeons from Council
Bluffs, Omaha and Sioux City, who
have been called in from time to time
for some of the more serious opera
tions, unhesitatingly pronounce the
room and its equipment one of the
best in this section of the country.
The hospital is under the immedi-
ate management of Miss Buck, a grad
uate nurse from Oakland, Cali. With
her assistants she is prepared to give
the best of care and attention to all
patients. With our resident surgeons
and physicians, and being within easy
call from the larger cities, the work
of the hospital is brought nearer home
and should be appreciated by all re-
quiring treatment at such place.

MARRIAGE OF MISS SMITH.

rage to Mr. Downing, Whose
Home Is at Fonda, Iowa.

On February 9th at Kirksville, Mo-,
Miss Iva Smith. of Denison, and Mr..

ed in marriage. The happy event was
carried out without the knowledge OF
the friends of either party. We un-
derstand, however, that their relatives

seems that the happy couple had plan
ned to make Kir4,sville their home,
but that circumstances interferred
to prevent their remaining there per-
manently, but as Mr.. Downing had
business that called him to Kinks
vile it was decided to have the we'd
Ding take place there.
Miss Smith was for several years a
member of the clerical force of the
Crawford County State bank, where
she established for herself a reputa'
ton for ability and fidelity. She is a
charming woman and no doubt will
prove herself helpmeet to Mr. Down
ing in every sense of the word. We
understand that Mr.. Downing is a bus
mess man and gentleman whom one
delights to meet.
We wish the happy couple every
success which life affords.

favorite on account OF her kind and
loving disposition. She was attracted
to young people especially and her
home was frequented by the younger
class of people and there are many
sad hearts in Denison since her death
because of the fact of her kindly treat
ment of these people, many of whom
are still living and will greatly miss
her departure.
Her son, Watson Wheeler. of AL
hambra, Cali, and Ter daughter, Mrs.
Eunice Wescott, of Des Moines, now
temporarily living at Denison, were at
her bedside to comfort and encourage
her during the final days of her suf-
fering.
Mrs. Wheeler was a valued member
of the Eastern Star, of the Women's
Relief Corps, the Current Event club
and the Friendly Helpers club, in the
organization of which she was prom
inent member.
In the death of Mrs. Wheeler not
only her immediate family is made to
feel the loss, but the community as
well.

Mrs. Wheeler's death was caused
by cancer which developed more than
a year ago, but the fact that she was
thus afflicted was concealed at time
when cheerfulness was required to
encourage her husband in his critical
illness. One who came in contact with
her during the last stages of her hus-

missed that she herself was suffering
from an attliction which was so soon
to prove fatal.

large Vote to be Polled.

On Monday afternoon the school
election will be held in the city, at
which there is a possibility of a con-
test being had The terms of Albert
Helsley and N. l.. Hunt are expiring
and their successors are to be elected.
They have both filed nomination pa
pers according to the new law. In
addition Phil. A. Schlumberger has
filed a nomination paper and will con-
test for a position on the school board.
The record of both the old members
of the board is such that nothing but
praise is heard of their services. Phil
lip Schlumberger is good man and
no doubt will find liberal support on
the part of the voters of the city. 1t
has been the policy in the past to re-
tain good men in this office and that
custom will probably help out lit
tie in the contest.
NJ. Il. Jones has also filed nomina
ton papers for the Office of treasurer,
as his term is expiring. Mr.. Jones has
made such record as treasurer that
1t is not anticipated he will have any
opposition and as it is past the time
for filing nomination papers, it means
that he will be reelected without any
opposition. There seems to be sufti-
cient interest in school matters here
to insure the people of Denison to go
out to this election and we hope that
a large vote will be polled this year
and that the best men will win.

Two RevoIvers Of Nightwatchman Are

Sheriff Cummings Of Opinion That
Robbers Were Part of Gang Max
ing Headquarters at Perry.

Up to date the officers have been
unable to secure any information as
to the identity of the six bandits who
attempted to blow the vault in the
Traders bank at Vail early last
Wednesday morning. Sheriff Cum
mings has covered the grounds thor
oughly in hopes of getting some clew
which might lead to their identity,
but it seems that the robbers were
very careful about leaving any traces
ture.
1t was not until late Thursday morn
ing that the officials of the Traders
bank were able to gain entrance to the
vault which was so badly damaged
by the bandits in their endeavor to
blow the vault door. Entrance was
made through the hole which had
been blown through the wall of the
vault, and then it was necessary to en-
large this to great extent. While
the door to the vault was badly dam
aged, the contents were safely intact
and nothing disturbed
There seems to be no question but
what the six men were frightened
away at the approach of the automo-
bile with Sheriff Cummings and his
posse. Nightwatch Fitzgibbons says
that the men were at work in the bank
building Up to within fifteen minutes
before ne sheriff arrived at the scene.
No doubt the headlights on the car
we're seen for several miles before it
arrived in Vail ard gave the robbers
ample time to make their escape.
The two revolvers which the rob-
bers took from Nightwatch Fitzgib-
bons have been found One was found
near the power house and the other in
a pasture just south of the Northwest
ern tracks. Doubtless the six men
started off across the fields when they
were frightened by the approach OF
the sheriff's auto. Sheriff Cummings
believes that the six men who at
tempted the robbery belong to a gang
of safe blowers who have been max
ing they headquarters at Perry for
the past few months and he is of the
opinion that it was part of the same

on the fourth floor, is easily accessible
to a fire escape from which the in

Some weeks ago the girls were
alarmed from having seen man look

plant to the school authorities. Steps
were at once taken to capture the
intruder and it was largely through
the efforts of the Misses VanNess that
ne was finally captured.

part of students at Cornell college here
to catch 'Peeping Tom who had

The girl students in Bowman hall
have been in a state of terror during
the past two weeks because OF actions
of someone looking through windows.

and authorized them to get help from
other students If necessary. While
they were watching the building on
Thursday night they saw someone
climb a fire escape and attempt to

students made their appearance the
man leaped from the fire escape and
ran, with the others in pursuit.
