The iiremen's spring festival was
opened Monday night to large at
tendance and so far this week the
numerous attractions and side shows
have been we'll patronized. The Ed A.
Evans greater shows, one OF the larg
est organizations of its kind en- tour
are furnishing the attractions. The

commendable letters from all commit
tees and officials in the various cities
the show has visited since the opening
date
All of the northern part of the bus
mess section of the, city from Broad
way to the city hall is devoted to the
various attractions. The tents are
pitched in the streets with narrow al
leyways between in true carnival
fashion Two brass bands furnish the
show tents where barkers tell of the
wonders within.
The merry -gO-round seems to be the
one big feature OF the festival week
and on the first day over 500 tickets
were sold. 1t is one of the finest mer-
ry- go-rOunds that has ever been in the
city and it is being enjoyed by all the
kiddies.
Other attractions are ferris wheel,
motordrome, tango show, Ten in One
show. Egypt, the Palace OF Mystery,
the Joy Mill. Turner's Wonderland,
Wild West show, Col. Smiths Muse
um. Tipperary, the. Hawiaan village.
Space does not permit us to go into
the merits OF each individual show.
Besides these attractions there are
cane racks, doll racks, etc.
The queen Of the festival has not
been decided upon as yet. Voting
commenced last week. but it has been
decided to postpone crowning the
queen until the latter part of the week.
With good weather the balance of the
week the attendance should be good
and the fire boys certainly will have
something to show for their efforts in
securing the carnival.

'The Fortune Hunter" four act
drama presented by members of the
graduating class OF the Denison Nor
nal & Business college, at the Ger
mania opera house last evening, drew
packed house, notwithstanding the
fact that there We're other counter at
fractions. The class plays OF the col
lege are always looked forward to by
Denison people and this last enter
tainment was Of the high standard al.
ways attained by the college enter
tainments. The class was fortunate
indeed in being able to secure the
rights to present this particular pro-
duction as it is one which has scored
great success in the theatrical world
with Jack Barrymore playing the lead
ing role.
The play was full of interest aud al
though it lasted until almost midnight
it held the attention of the audience
until the curtain dropped at the end
of the last scene. The costumes and
stage settings were very effective and
helped materially in the presentation
OF the play. Many of the roles were
taken by students who had never
before made their appearance on the
public platform, but they had been
coached by Miss Steere, teacher OF
Oratory in the college, and their act
ing was superior to that of many who
have had more experience. The drama
was full of action throughout and the
audience was kept guessing from start
to finish just what the outcome would
be.
The leading role was played by Earl
ing Garrison as Nat Duncan. New
York young man who devoted his time
to enjoying social functions rather
than attending to business matters
for his firm. This Part was by far the
most difficult one in the play and he
carried it through i'll a very fine man
ner and had the sympathy OF the audi
ence throughout his quest OF a rich
wife. At the suggestion OF his friend,
Henry Kellogg: lecdecided to embark
for Radville, Pa, where he was to fall
in love with the daughter OF the rich
est man in the community. Melvin
Romans played the part OF Hen
ry Kellogg, who had made a great sue
cess as financier with the largest
firm of brokers' on Wall Street. Melvin

PAVING QUESTION
IN LIMELIGHT
Committee Presents City Council With
Resolution Requesting PreIim-
mary Work at Once.
MEET COUNCIL TOMORROW EVE
Anxious That All Necessary Advance
Work be Done Now in Order to
Start Paving in the Spring

The Commercial club held its reg
ular monthly business meeting at the
club rooms on Friday evening OF last
week with goodly number OF the
members in attendance.
The meeting was an important one
| inasmuch as the club took some action
in regard to paving and passed a reso
luton requesting that the city council
go ahead with the preliminary WORK
so that paving may be commenced
early next spring. Last year a peti
lion was presented to the city council
signed by nearly every property own
or whose property abuts on streets in
the business section of the city, ask
ing that those streets be paved. The
City council failed to take any action
in regard to this petition. The busi-
ness men Of Denison are anxious to
have the business section of the city
paved and they realize what it will
mean to Denison to pave twelve or
fourteen blocks. Other towns much
smaller than Denison have already
paved and many have as much as two
miles of paving. Paving was discussed
at some length. The following reso-

HARRY BERGER INJURED.
Car in Which He was Riding Turns
Turtle on a Hill and Three Brok-
en- Ribs Are Sustained.

Charter Oak. June Especial to
the Review Harry Berger, who car.
ries mail on one of the routes out of
Chatter Oak, almost met his death III
a frightful automobile accident, which
occurred yesterday morning about nine
miles north of Charter Oak, when the
car he was driving tuned turtle. He
was brought to Charter Oak in ma.
chine and after careful examination
was made it was found that three ribs
had been broken. He received many
bad bruises and numerous cuts. His
condition is much improved this morn
ing and it is believed that lie will be
able to resume his duties within few
days.
Mr.. Berger has been carrying mail
on the route north OF Charter Oak for
several months and for some time has
been driving 4 touring car. On Mon.
day afternoon he traded his machine
for small roadster and started out
Tuesday morning for the first time
with the new car. He was not tamil-
lar with the machine and when going
down a small hill lost control, which
resulted in the car turning turtle. Not
withstanding that he was badly in
jured, he was able to walk quarter
of a mile to a farm house for aid.
Mr.. Berger is well known in Deni-
son, having been employed as clerk
in the drug store of K. Knaul, and two

Hubert VanNess as Robbins, valet

ed by Glen RalstOn, acted his role in
a realistic manner.
In the second act Nat Duncan ar
rives at the town of Radville and it
is not long before the news is herald
ed from door to door of his arrival.
He at once attracts attention on ac-
coant of his city dress and gallant
manner. According to the rules laid
down by his friend Kellogg. he was to
secure a position, attend church regu-
larry, neither smoke, drink nor swear:
but he found some difficulty in adher-
ing to all OF these rules. After trying
at several different stores for employ
ment he finally offers his services to
Sam Graham, the druggist. who is too
poor to pay clerk wages and keep
up his stock. LOrin Patchin, who
played the part of the old druggist and
inventor, could not have been imprOv-
ed upon and made an exceedingly good
character. Betty, daughter of the
druggist Graham, was portrayed by
bnI,
gained for herself an enviable reputa-
tion as a dramatic speaker and capti-
waited the audience by her charming
mannerisms. She was not at all
pleased over the fact that her father
had secured the services of clerk
when he was unable to furnish her
with the necessary clothes in order
that she might attend the social func-
tions of the village.
Mr.. Lockwood, the banker. made his
appearance at the drug store shortly
after the arrival of Nat duncan, de-
manding that Graham, the druggist,

TEMPLE.

That the Temple theater bill for
the current week is an exceptionally
good one IS attested by the rounds
and rounds OF applause that greeted
the various acts. Four acts draw
vociferous applause; two, apprecia-
tive applause; one, courteous APP
plause. and one continuous applause.
The acts cover a wide range OF ef-
fort but, apparently, they all have a
common appeal-at least the APP
plause would so indicate. And a

tries II is their only way TO get the
| full benefit OF their control OF the
sea. All we can do Is 20 stand strictly
and firmly on our rights. Among
those rights is that OF trading freely,
in good faith, with neutral countries.
The question is not a new one.
During the war between the north and
the south We had the same question
| up with England Supplies OF guns,
ammunition, saddles and goods likely
TO be useful TO the confederate armies
were shipped In British vessels 10
Matamoras, Mexico, just across the
Rio Grande from Brownsville, Texas.
We had command OF the sea as the
allies have now. We were trying TO
starye the south just as they are now
| trying to starye Germany and Aus
tria. We took possession OF the Brit
/ ish ships just as they now take pos
session of ours. We said. as they In
some cases say now, that the goods
we're contraband OF war, shipped to
Mexico TO avoid the blockade. just as
our goods are consigned TO Holland
or Italy or Denmark or Sweden or
Norway.
The supreme court of the United
States decided that we had the right
TO do exactly what Britain is doing
now-condemn the shipments as eva
sions OF the blockade.
So, one sees. IL makes difference
whose OK is gored. We must not
| tamely submit to the unreasonable
| goring OF our OK, however, just be-
cause our bull claimed the right, and
exercised II, too, OF goring Britain's
OK half a century ago. We must see
to 1t that the popgun blockade is not
SO extended as TO shut out our goods
from neutral ports, which under the
law OF reason and with due regard 10
the purposes OF the shipments should
not be shut out.
The allies have done we'll by us in
allowing shipments Of cotton. In view
OF the fact that cotton is so important
for the clothing OF soldiers, II might
with some show of reason have been
declared strict contraband of war
Allowing us to ship IL Is concession
OF great value to us and incidentally
to our British and French creditors
and the securing OF the concession is
a credit to the state department.
