The local police are to be cOngratu-
lated upon the manner in which they
handled the circus crowd last Wednes-
day and upon the few arrests that
were made. Only two arrests were
made, they being for drunkenness. Pick
pockets and purse snatchers, who gem
orally follow circuses, did not make
their appearance in DenisOn, at least
no one reported occurrences OF this
nature to the officers.
Burglars. however, were in evidence
and the home of r. J. Garrison on East
Broadway was entered while the fam
lily was watching the circus parade
down town. Mr.. Garrison and family
left the house about 10 O'Clock and
when they returned an hour later
found that the house had been ran
sacked from basement to garret and a
handsome gold watch belonging to
Miss Lillian Garrison had been stOl-
en-. The thieves made entrance to
the home through the kitchen door.

ransacked and those found locked
were pried open, marring the furniture
considerably. Fortunately Mrs. Gar
rison's jewels were in a safety deposit
box at the Crawford County State bank
or they would have been stolen, as
the jewel box in which she keeps them
in the house was broken open.
At the E. Gulick residence rObber
was caught in the act of breaking in
by DR.. r. P. Plimpton and frightened
away. DR.. Plimpton was in his barn
just across the alley from the Gulick
residence when he heard the sound Of
breaking glass. He looked over at
the Gulick residence and saw man
on the back porch who had just brok-
en- the glass in the back door. He
called to the man who made hasty
exit, running down the street to the
railroad yards.

The city fathers held meeting at

purchase of a flushing machine for
cleaning the new pavement. The ma
chine purchased is styled the Economy

The contract for the storm sewer to
be installed on lower Main street was
let to the Ward & Weighton company,
CT Sioux City, their bid OF $2,41O.OO be-
ing the lowest. Two other concerns,
Katz Construction company, OF Oma-
ha, and c. H. Wilson, of Red Oak, en-
tered bids. The Ward & Weighton
company were the successful bidders
for the laying of the new water main
up Washington avenue and their work
for the city has been so satisfactory
that the council felt they were making
no mistake in giving them the con-
tract for the new storm sewer.
The council ordered Mayor Laub to
see that the rings placed in the side
walk in front of the Boys store for
bitching teams be removed. Several
business houses placed rings in the
sidewalk after the hitching posts were
removed and later complied with the
order of the mayor to remove them.
Hitching posts are being provided on
the side streets so that teams will be
accommodated without hitching them
on the main business streets.

Business Transacted
PARKING AUTOS IS DISCUSSED
Club Will Sell Present Sprinkler and
Donate Proceeds to City to be
Applied on New Flusher

There was good attendance at the
regular monthly business session of
the commercial club, held last Friday
evening, and many important matters
were brought to the attention Of the
club. 1t is pleasing to note the inter-
est that Sour business men are taking
in the club and with cooperation much
good will be derived.
Treasurer ]. 4. Haugh made report
showing that the club now has on
hand in the treasury $464.62.
Three new members were voted in

1t was moved by c. f. Kuehnle and
seconded by H. Mann that the names
of r. E. Mote and J. T. Carey be added
to the bank committee, making that
committee number five. This motion
was carried. .
Mr.. G.. T.. Kuehnle made a motion
that the band committee have full
power regarding the finances of the
band, and that they be given power to
purchase any instruments and equip
ment that they deemed necessary. The
motion was seconded by Mr.. N. l..
Hunt and carried unanimously.
The club ratified and approved the
contract of Robert Gibler, the new
band master, and instructed the ssec-
retary of the club to issue a warrant
each month for his salary. The sal
ary of Mr. Gibler has been raised
among the business men of Denison
who have donated literally toward
supporting the new band. The band

Bros. circus. 1t was entirely through
the efforts of Mr.. Mote that the circus
was brought to Denison.
Electric fans are to be purchased
by the club for the rooms to make it
more comfortable for the members
during the hot weather. At times the
| heat is almost unbearable at the club
and it is hard matter to get many
members out to the meetings, but with
the use of electric fans it is hoped to
make it more pleasant for everyone.
| Another important matter that came
UP for discussion was that OF parking
automobiles on the paved streets. At
present automobile owners are park
ing their cars parallel to the curb
stones while some either head their
cars into the curb or back in, which
results in more or less confusion,
especially on Saturday evenings when
the traffic is unusually heavy. There
is cOncensus of opinion that the at
tention of the mayor OF the city be
called to the matter and that some uni
form method of parking cars be adopt
ed. Many of the members were in
favor of parking the cars in the center
of the street, which would leave a wide
thoroughfare ON either side of the
street and would compel traffic to move
in one direction This method has
been used in Omaha for some time and
has been found to be most satisfac-
tory.
The matter of sprinkling and flush
ing the streets was brought up for dis
cussion and the club decided to sell
the present sprinkler and turn over
the amount to the city to be applied
on the purchase price of new tiusher.
The club has agreed to pay the cost OF
sprinkling the business section Of the
city until the first of the year, as here
tofore, but the city is to pay for flush
ing the paved streets outside of the
business section. The balance on
hand of the sprinklng account is Of
fered by B. BrOdersen, the amount be-
ing $22O.34.
The civic committee was instructed
to meet with the city council and urge
them to clean up the city. There is
much complaint over the condition OF
certain streets and alleys, and resi-
dents are complaining bitterly over
the condition of vacant lots where
weeds have been allowed to grow all
summer without cutting. OF course,
everyone knows that the city dads
have been so busy with the details OF
the paving, sewers and waterWorks
that they have not had much time for
anything else. Inasmuch as most Of
this work is nearing completion 1t is
hoped that they will turn their atten-
ton to cleaning up the city.

available for military service. Less
than 1000 Films have joined the
Russian army to date. All ports OF

the utmost vigilance by the Russian
authorities.
Finland had no desire TO fight
for or against Russia, said a veal

"There is not one in either sex
who would not fight German in

wants to do its own army and its
own officers. The Finnish standing
army Of 100000 men was abolished
by Russia in 1905. Naturally. then,
there is no great good feeling toward

reforms which have not been popu~

sentiment favoring the Germans.
