SIXTY YEARS Of
Welded LIFE
Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. Mcbride, Of Def
ance,' Parents Of VIM. Mcbride,
Celebrate Anniversary
PROMINENT SHELBY co. PEOPLE
EstimabIe Couple Married in Putnam
County, Indiana, and Parents
Of Ten Children.

Defiance, Dec. 8-Mr and Mrs. Thos.
Mcbride celebrated their sixtieth we'd
ding anniversary Thursday, December
I'd. Both are enjoying fairly good
health. The Mcbride family have been
prominent factors in Shelby county
since 1875. A man who rears large
family of children to lives of useful
ness and honor, performs his duty as
we'll and faithfully as the man who
gamers in millions of dollars and en-
dows Libraries.
Thomas Mcbride was married in Put
man county, Ind, to Sarah Ann Eller,
and to this union ten children were
born, William, Marni, Oliver, Eliza,
John, Martha, Maggie, James, Charles
end Elmer. Mrs. McBride's parents
were both natives of North Carolina
where they both died.
Thomas Mcbride and wife have been
members of the Methodist Episcopal
church for more than half a century
and for many years he was trustee
and steward of the church. He has been
a Master Mason for half century and
a life long republican, but has never
held any Office other than that of road
supervisor. Mr.. Mcbride is fine type
of the sterling pioneer who made Iowa
what it is today. He has never taken
a drop of intoxicating liquor of any
kind and attributes his longevity to
excellent care of his health.
Thomas Mcbride was born Dec. 81,
1881, and attended school in Newcastle
county, Delaware, and after leaving
the school room worked as laborer
in his native state, never receiving
over 60 cents for his days work. When
% years old he went to Indiana and
settled in Putnam county. where he
obtained employment as the manager
OF farm. He retained his position for
five years, and having married in the
meantime, rented farm and remain
ed in Indiana until 1876. The state Of
Iowa having opened to settlement he
located in Union township. where he
bought farm of 100 acres. contract
ing to pay IS month, but it was ten
years before he even started to pay
anything ON the principal. Corn was
practically the only crop raised at that
time and, brought only 10 to 18 cents
ahead to make a payment on the farm,
nevertheless he weathered all storms.
eventually paying for the land and
when he retired in 1899 he had one of
the best improved farms in the county.
! All of the children except John, of
Palouse. Wash. were present at the
dinner: William and daugh
ter, Della, of Denison: Oliver and wife
and son. Harold. of Logan: Mrs. Jas.
Reynolds and husband. Of Dunlap:
Charles, James, Elmer and their fam
lilies and Mrs. Maggie Switzer and
children, of Defiance. Mrs. Paige Nor
rison, OF Council Bluffs, and DR.. Meyer,
of Defiance, were the only ones out of
the family who were present, though
many callers were received through
out the day and numerous presents
were left.

TRAIN IS LADEN
With SILKS CD
Special Train Of Thirteen Baggage
Coaches, Heavily Guarded, Pass-
&c Through 0enison Over !. G.
MAY HAVE BEEN GOLD BARS
Gold With Which to Pay for War Mu-
nitions-Each Car Was Valued
at $5o0,0o0o0

A special train made of thirteen
cars passed through Denison late
Thursday night over the Illinois Cen
trail railway bound for the east. There
was considerable speculation over
the special train and according to the
bills of lading the cars were loaded
with raw Japanese silk. One car of
the train was to be laid off at Chicago,
while the remaining twelve had New
York as their destination. The train
was running OH passenger schedule
and, as all trains of this character.
under orders which would give it the
privilege OF passing any passenger
train it should overtake.
People familiar with these ship
ments are always skeptical about silk
shipments as gold and silk are one and
the same thing i'll the mind of railroad
men. Gold in car load lots is never
shipped as such and it Is intimated
that there was more gold than SILK on
this train that passed through Denison
last Thursday night. The train was
well guarded on its long journey from
the Pacific coast.
Several trains of this character
have passed through Denison during
the past year and a half. 1t is a well
known fact that some of these silk
cars" contain gold shipped by the al
lies from Japan or Australia to New
York City to pay for munitions OF war
purchased in the United States. If the
train which passed through Denison
last week contained silk the estimated
value would be $6,OOO,000 as about
100000 worth Of raw silk is contained
in one car
What really was packed in those
thirteen baggage cars is known to but
flew men most intimately associated
with its shipment and the curious
along the route are just left to spec.
ulatc about the actual contents.

FIRST SNOW OF THE SEASON.
Merchants and Coal Men Wearing a
Smile OF contcntment As Win.

Coal dealers and merchants of Den
isOn are wearing a contented smile
these days over the fact that their bus.
mess has suddenly taken OH new life
due to the first big snowfall OF the
season which came Friday night and
Saturday morning.
On Saturday drays with which to dc
liver coal were at premium and il
was not until well after dark that all
of the orders had been supplied. With
the ground covered with snow Satur
day morning the man OF the house took
all inventory of his coal room and de
eided that if Jack Frost was to be kept
out OF the house more coal should be
ordered.
Rubbers and overshoes leaped into
first place as the correct thing in wear
ing apparel and shoe merchants were
kept busy all day Saturday filling
wants in this line. Most of the stores
experienced regular stampede dur
ing tho day and it was long before
merchants had to resort to theil
stocks laid carefully away in store
rooms awaiting the mid winter and
early spring season. More rubbers
and overslloes were purchased on Sat
uriay in ten hours than had been sold
|all fall.
Clothing merchants. too arc vel
pleased with the sudden change OF
weather and they report big bust
ness Saturday in overcoats and heavy
underwear.

"A word to friends" is the caption
Of all article in the November issue OF
Mr.. Bryan's Commoner It's first sen
tencc reads thus: "rhe results Of elec
tons held in several states November
Cd indicate that the republican party
will be united in 1916" This solemn
warning is followed by an appeal fol
subscriptions to the Commoner. The
rest of the issue of the paper is largely
filled with signed articles by Bryan
and others opposing the presidents
plan of preparedness. Which leads
us to remark that u reading the Com
moner indicates that the democrats
will be divided in 1916.

Among the remarkable changes OF
opinion and position which have mark
ed President Wilson'S course none is
more striking than that in relation to
Tamanny hall While Wilson had a
huge majority in congress and the OPP
position in the country was divided,
Wilson had no use for Tamanny. But
now it is different. The Tamanny

RACING ACROSS
THE STATE
Rivalry Between River to River and
Lincoln Highway Roads Leads to y.
Racing Across the State.
ANOTHER PLANNED THIS WEEK
Hupmoblle, Driven by Ogden Man
Tries to Lower Record Friday, <;
But Fails in the Attempt.

Since the race across the state last
week between two Ford machines, one
over the Lincoln highway and the 9th.
er over the River to River road. there
has been another planned which will
he run some time the last of this
week or the fore part Of next. If the
roads and weather permit.
There is considerable talk now of a
four cornered race over four OF the
Iowa highways across the state. AS
outlined the race includes trans-lOwa
trips by Hal Wells over the White
Pole road, by John A. Thompson over
the Lincoln highway, by Harvey Strong
over the River to River road and by
Leroy Perkins over the Blue Grass
road.
The latter highway begins at Bur
lington and goes through Mt. Pleasant.
Fairfield, Ottumwa, Abba. Charlton,
Osceola, Alton, Creston. Villisca, Red
Oak and Glenwood and ends at COun-
Gil Bluffs.
Backers Of the Blue Grass road are
endcavoring to gain record for this
route across the state and letters
have been sent out to- the, mayor OF
every town through which this road
passes asking that an effort be made
to get this highway in the best condi-
ton possible as the road over which
the winner drives will receive a big
boost for transcOntinental automobile
traffic.
r. is said that a fifth driver to race
over the Hawkeye trail will be well
coined in the contest. The road runs
from Dubuque to Sioux City by the way
of Fl Dodge. With an. entrant racing
oyer this route the entire state would
be Interested in the outcome OF the
speed contests as virtually every part
Of the Hawkeye commonwealth, would
be represented in the competition. The
winner, as in the race last week be-
tween Thompson and Strong, will be
determined by his average mileage per
hour. Hal Wells now holds the record
over the River to River road with 1876
miles per hour.
Another attempt was made last Fri
day to lower the record by an Ogden
driver, who raced from Clinton to
Council Bluffs over the Lincoln high
way. This driver used q stock ma
chine, q five passenger touring car, but
lie was unable to lower the record
made by Wells. No one here In Deni-
son knew of the race that was put on
by driver from Ogden until after the
car had reached Council Bluffs. The
car passed through the outskirts OF
Denison over the highway.

The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1915-12-15

The organized farmers OF North
Carolina, 10000 strong, arc reported to
be lining up i'll support OF Congress
man Kitchin's attitude toward the
presidents defense plan. From other
parts of the country come stories of
agricultural opposition to the measure.
1t would not be strange if the embat-
tied farmers of the land should be
found to have the whip hand in the
controversy. Yet preparedness seems
sure to pass in some form or other.
The farmers are said to feel keenly
what they term the presidents 'deser-
ton" of his real principles. A year
ago the farmers were applauding Will
son for his peace sentiments. Now
they are objurgating him for his mill
tarism. 1t is indeed a curious situa-
ton, because Wilson as a peace presi-
dent is to be the central picture in
democratic campaign literature and
oratory next year.
