FALL OPENING
DENIS0N STORES
Best Showing in History Of Denison
Merchandising Being Made This
Wcck-All in Gala Attire
HINT AS TO THE FASHIONS
All Denison Proud Of Her Mercantile
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES With
Those of Large Cities.

Many of the Denison stores will hold
their annual fall openings, starting to-
day and continuing the balance Of the
| week Never before in the history OF
Denison has the showing been as com.
plete and up-to-date as it is this year
and markets all over the United
States and. in fact, some OF those
abroad, have been searched for the
latest and best in fall merchandise.
All Of the larger stores have sent
their buyers to the eastern market
where they have purchased directly
from manufacturers, through jobbins
houses and from the big importers.
This merchandise has been arriving
in Denison for the past few weeks and
is now being shown at the local estab-
lishments. The fine display windows
are resplendent with the latest the
market affords, artistically arranged
to please the eye of the feminine buy
cr Denison may well be proud of her
mercantile establishments, for with
her large stocks complete in every de-
tail, it is not necessary to purchase
merchandise in the larger cities and,
in fact, people from distance come
to Denison to purchase goods as 1t is
a well known fact that their desires
will be satisfied.
A word in regard to this fall mer-
chandise will not be out of place at
this time and will be of interest to
readers of the Review, both in Deni-
son and surrounding territory. The
three department stores, Geo. Menagh
& Co, The Boys and BalleBrodersen,
have made great preparation for their
fall slowings. All three of these
stores have ready-towear departments
and people are generally acquainted
with the class of merchandise which
they handle. The ladies should be
more than pleased with the fall line
of garments and the selection Of col
Ors will be comparatively easy, dark
tones predominating. The three lead
ing colors being navy blue, brown and
green for suits and practical dresses.

JUDGE ALBERT
HOLDING COURT
Court Opened on Monday Morning
and the Criminal Calendar Is
Now Being Disposed Of.
PIERCE ADULTERY CASE NOW ON
Several Criminal Cases Set for Next
Monday-State US eaumgardner,
Wiese and Palmer to be Tried

The district court opened on Mon
day last with Judge Albert, of JEFF
ferson, presiding. Last week, while
the first week OF the regular term,
disposed OF no cases on the calendar
for the regular term, inasmuch as the
Marshall case lasted up until prac.
tically the close of the week.
On Monday the criminal calendar
was taken up and the case of the
State of Iowa VS. Fay Pierce was put
on trial In this case the defendant
was charged with the crime of adult
cry The case is still on trial and the
probabilities are that it will last the
remainder of the day and no doubt
part of tomorrow. This case arose at
West Side and perhaps it would not
be we'll to comment on the evidence,
inaSmuch as the case is tried to a
jury. The case to follow that of the
State VS. Pierce is that of the State
Of Iowa VS. MCGEE In this case the
defendant is charged with the crime
of rape. The probabilities are that
the trial will begin tomorrow. and if
it is tried to a conclusion will take
all of the day The case of the State
of Iowa VS. Baumgardner, in which
the defendant is charged with grand
larceny. is set for trial on next Mon
day. The chances are that the case
will be tried and will take some time
to dispose of it. Another case set
for trial Monday is that of the State
OF Iowa VS. Wiese, in which the de-
PENDANT is charged with an assault
with intent to commit the crime of
rape. This case will be contested be-
fore jury and will probably take
some time. Another case set for Mon
day is that of the State of Iowa VS.
A. J. Palmer, charged with an assault
with intent to commit great bodily in
jury. This case will probably take
considerable time.
1t would appear that the criminal
business at this term is occupying
more time than usual. The defendants
are all confined in the Jail and the
court is naturally anxious to have the
cases disposed of at as early date
as possible. If the criminal calendar
should be disposed of before the term
expires there are several civil cases
that will be taken up by the court
and tried but just what one will come
on for trial first is at this time prob
lematical.

Celebrated Marshall Divorce Case .
Thing of the Past, Settlement

DECREE RENDERED BY COURT
Apt Illustration Of Danger Encount

The celebrated Marshall divorce
case is thing of the past At one
time it looked as if the case would
become immortal because of it's in.
terminable length. We do not know
how much longer it would have con-
tinucd had it not been for the action
of the court in using it's influence in
trying to bring it to an early con-
clusion. For almost three weeks the
case held the attention of the court
when the judge reminded those inter
estcd in the case that it was their
duty to see that an early disposition
should be made: of it in order to per-
nit the regular business of the court
to proceed.
The case was commenced in Janu-
airy last and after a separation OF the
parties which had occurred in October
before. The action was instituted on
the part of Mrs. Marshall to have the
court provide for her support without
requiring her to continue to live as the
wife of Mr.. Marshall. The contest was
made by the defendant denying her
claims and himself seeking divorce
by way of cross petition. Since early

From the beginning of the trial Of
the case TO it's sudden termination on
Friday last, when as heretofore in
timated in part at least, by reason of
the feeling that the court was anxious
to have the case disposed Of. the CON
test was fast and furious. Such legal
talent as the parties could secure was
brought into the trial of the case and
all that legal ingenuity could contrib
ute was made availabel in order to
advance the interests of the respective
parties 1t was disclosed early in the
case that there was little probability
that a reconciliation could ever be
effected and restoration OF anything
like harmonious feeling could be ex-
pected When this fact became APP

the case was that Of the amount of ali

| 1t is unfortunate that in trial of a
divorce case feeling should run as
high as it did in this case. 1t is hurt
full not only to the parties in interest
but to the witnesses and community

was about the busiest agency in con.
nection with the trial
This case proves another illustration
of the danger of second marriages on
the part of people who have passed
the meridian of life 1t is a rare thing
that happy results can be expected
from people of advanced years mar
rying when they have been married
before and have children by former
marriages. We do not claim that the
Marshall venture was different or any
worse than hundreds of other ventures
of similar nature. Our only conten-
ton is that people who have been
once married should hesitate a long
time, after they have reached the age
of fifty or sixty years, before contract
ing marriages again.

good provider for his family. hard
worker and accumulated a competency
for his family. He was liberal in the
tributed to any good cause that ap,
pealed to him. Even as the shadows
came into his life and as his end ap-
preached, he was able to say that he
had enjoyed life as much as anyone.
When his physician told him as late
as May goth of this year that there
was no hope for him and he could not
expect to recover. he was not in the
least alarmed or frightened. He
thanked them for telling him, 'Re-

afraid to take the final step. This is
a good world to live in, but only true
in the sense that it is good as long as

The Grange meeting held last Thur . day evening was very interesting al- ' though attended by very few members. l The unfavorable weather and perhaps other attractions may have kept many away, but it seems as if more members might make more of an effort to attend these meetings when the Worthy l Lecturer has such interesting and diff ] ferent programs for each meeting. The last meeting was a Community meet | ing" when each member gave an outline of what could be done to the community to improve it. Some very practical plans were given and we wish they might be carried out. "Children's s Night" will be held at the meeting of the Salisbury Grange on Thursday evening of next week, August '26. An entertaining program has been pl erared which will be carried out by the child ren of the Grange themselves.

SUFFRAGE-PRO AND CON
Pro-.

Pro.
 Suffrage campaigning is going on in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania at pace which has never been equalled in the Eastern states. It is now within three months of the time when all these states will decide upon the fate of the woman sUf- frage amendment to their constitutions which were passed by their State leg!s- latures in the two previous sessions. In New Jersey the vote will be taken on October 19th-just two months ahead, and it is in New Jersey that work is at its most fevered heat. Miss Emily Pierson and Miss Alyse Gregory have done some wonderful campaign ing in Connecticut, and it would seem almost impossible to believe that their present activities could surpass what they have done during the last two years in this state. Yet Miss Pierson writes that Connecticut people do not know anything about suffrage cam- paigning as it is understood in New Jersey, and that her campaigns there this summer are on totally different plane from the worked one last winter or in the summer of 1914.
 One reason for the greater activity in the campaign states is that with the vote so near everyone is interested ill the question. It makes Il great differ ence to the voter when the suffragist tackles him to know that she is talking about question on which he will have to vote within the next few months. It gives a reality to suffrage campaign ing, which surpasses that given in Con- necticut from the mere fact that the legislature would be called to pass on the question. Also the anti-suffragists are more active. In New Jersey the head and front of the opposition to the suffragist is the liquor interest which iss reinforced by MT. Nugent-a promi nent politician and James Maritime, we'll known in the annals of New ter sey politics. There is of course the usual activity on the part of the ladies who are organized to opposed the grant ing of the vote to women. But this opposition is almost negligible in com parison with the strenuous fight that is being put up by the liquor men.
