mercial club, held last FRIDAY evening,
was a disappointment to the officers of
| the club, and they are at loss to
understand why more of the promi-
nent citizens do not take an active in
terest in the affairs of the club. The
Commercial club is On organization
which should receive the support of
every loyal citizen who has the inter-
est OF Denison at heart.
AT the meeting held Friday evening
the electrolier committee reported
that enough mcneyJ has been sub
scribed to warrant going ahead with
the improvement, and the plans and
specifications are now completed 1t
is planned to install single lamp poles
on lower Main street to the Chicago
& Northwestern passenger station and
also on the street leading to the llli-
nois Central depot. The plans and
specifications as prepared call for the
single lamp pole and bidders will be
required to bid on poles, cable, and in
fact the entire equipment as we'll as
the installation work. 1t is believed
that the new system will be installed
very much cheaper than that OF last
year by this method. Several firms
have already signiiied their intention
of submitting bids
The city council served notice upon
the Commercial club at the meeting
that unless there was plenty OF water
in the city wells this summer they
would not allow the use of city water
for sprinkling purposes. On several
occasions during the past few years
it has been necessary to discontinue
sprinkling the streets on account of
the lack of water. The club turned
this matter over to the civic commit

is Much Building at Dunlap.

Dunlap. May S-This is a very active
year in the building line among the
citizens OF Dunlap and vicinity. No
less than nine new houses are under
process OF construction. some OF which
are nearing completion. Most Of the
new buildings are OF the bungalow
type and modern throughout. Others
are remodeling and adding modern inn
prOvements.
Among those whose new homes are
under actual process of construction
are: Ed Rogers. c. A. Malone. William
Rannells. j. T. Rawlins, Dr. j. T. Stat
terry and Mr.. Benjamin
There are a great many more homes
and buildings being planned. but as
yet work has not progressed enough
to warrant the publishing of the same.
Houses to rent have been hard to OBJ
tain in Dunlap all year 1t is hoped
that the new buildings will somewhat
relieve the demand for living quarters.

In private enterprise, explanations
and excuses don't so. The employer
of a travelling man doesn't want expla-
nations; he wants orders. The manu-
.Iocturer don't want excuses; he wants
buyers. The employee who comes
back with excuses instead of orders.
soon loses his job The democratic
administration has had many eXpla
nations for the business depression
that followed its accession to power.
First it was psychological" then a
state of mind" then finally the Euro
pean war furnished plausible ey-
cuse. But the American people. like
all good business men, want public
servants who deliver results, not ex-
plantations and excuses.

Open Season on Bryan.

George Fitch in Golfers Weekly:
There has been a great disposition
among republicans to be fair with the
new administration as far as comment
goes. They have given the president
the benefit of the doubt and have been

could be expected from a party which
hopes to eject the said administration
with loud shouts in 1916.

Dunlap, May g. Under the direc-
ton of Contractor y. J. Farrell. of
South Omaha, work is rapidly progress
ing on the new $4,000 parochal
school building being erected by the
congregation of st. Patrick's church
here.
The building. 7Ox77 feet in dimen-
sions, is located on the Lincoln high
way at commanding spot overlooking
the town. 1t is substantial two story
above basement structure and tinisll-
ed with Brazilian tapestry brick. man
ufactured at Brazil, Ind The different
shades of those bricks blend together
in such manner rs to give a very
pleasing effect. which is heightened
by the trimmings of Bedford stone.
The building on the inside is very
we'll and commodiously arranged. The
basement contains the. toilet, boiler,
domestic science and manual training
rooms. The first floor is divided into
four school and two class rooms. While
the second floor embraces two school
rooms and an auditorium with seat
ing capacity of 450.
The building is to be ready for oc-
cupancy with the opening OF the school
year next September. When COM
pleted, Dunlap will have the best
equipped parochial school in the Des
Moines diocese, outside of Des Moines.

number on Oct. l." answered Reginald
promptly. THAT will give US over a
month In which to enlighten the PEG.

which ought to be known, and l have
no fears about the result"
1.-THE new editor of the Courier is an
able fellow" responded Mr.. Prince,
"and l can see that he is influencing
some of our business men to favor the
wide open policy"
"Come into our pressroom and see
the new machinery which we are in
s~talling,' said Reginald, and he ush.
cred Edgar Prince into his plant.
"I have been thinking" said Regi'
maid slowly, that it would be an adj
antage If we could erect sour own
building for the Tribune and plan ia
enter 1t next spring. If we could be-
gin the erection at once it would give
the paper a better standing In the com
munity. If | could get some of the
business men in Bronson who are in
terested in u reforms to take stock
in the Tribune l believe l could make
the newspaper a power not only in
Bronson, but all over southern Mich
igan."
After a further conference the result
was that a large Tribune Publishing
company was organized.
A week before the publication of the
much expected first issue of the Trib.
une Reginald Nelson distributed cir.
culars over Bronson announcing the
advent of the new organ of reform.
The circulars were headed, in loaded
type, "The Bronson Tribune, The PEG.
pies Paper"
This circular described briefly the
policies which would be advocated by
the Tribune and promised some inter
esting details in regard to the expos
ure made in the Independence day edi.
ton Of the Courier. 1.-THE Tribune will
be a newspaper without a muzzle,"
said the circular in conclusion.

Bronson is a different city now from
the one that heard Billy Sunday preach
in times past. Edgar Prince is now
mayor, the old gang of councilmen has
been disrupted. The great power there
now is the Daily Courier Tribune, edi-

good fight and won, and Joy Graham,
now his wife, is a great aid in running
the paper.

Gregory arose and tried to push the
editor out of the door.
Reginald Nelson shook himself free,
took a typewriter paper out of his
pocket and placed 1t on the desk before
the other. Gregory read the paper
quickly. 1t was a written renuncia.
ton of his claim on Joy Graham.
II want you to sign that and sign 1t
at once" said Reginald determinedly.
Roland Gregory reached into his hip
pocket, and before Reginald under
stood his purpose he had drawn a re-

Roland Gregory fired.
The editor reeled and fell uncon-
scious. Gregory turned the gun upon
himself.
A noise was heard outside, and in q
moment Allan Rutledge rushed Into
the Office. The minister had come to
the Tribune office to invite the editor
to lunch and was told that he had left
for the office of Roland Gregory. Fear

Hastily examining the two bodies
and saying to himself In horror, Dead;
both dead!' he fastened to the tele-
phone. In a few moments the police
patrol dashed up to the factory. Allan
Rutledge hastily told the chief what he
knew about the letter which he found
lying on the floor, which pointed so
plainly to Roland Gregory as the guilty
man in the Mae Mobray tragedy.
81 was not here in time to know what
passed between the two men," declared
Allan Rutledge, but it is evident that

ed after a cursory examination, and
then he added: "Mr. Gregory is fatal

only stunned"
The doctor soon looked up, saying
quickly: at is all right, Mr.. Rutledge.
1t is only a scalp wound. The bullet
glanced off the bone"
In a little while Reginald opened his
eyes and stared around him. He saw
the dark stream of blood on the floor.
"Where is he?" he asked in a hollow
voice.
"He killed himself" responded Allan
