1t is still believed that the arguments
of the affirmative team from Denison
were the stronger and that the debate
could be won if those taking part were
given short time longer to thorough.

ment, memorizing the rebuttal speech

ers were quite at home upon the plat
form. and did we'll, however, in the
estimation Of everyone present.
The coaches for the Denison teams,
Misses Fannie Hayes and Faye Cham
berlin, as we'll as the members OF the
teams, deserve much credit for the
creditable manner in which the argu-
ments were arranged and presented.
The triangular debate between teams
from Missouri Valley, Woodbine and
Denison will be held within the next
month and are looked forward to with
interest. Denison holds the silver cup
awarded to the winning team last year
and it is hoped that it may be retained
for another year.

MANY WITNESS BOXING MATCH.
Fast Work Of Ben Nicholson and
"cyclone" Sullivan in Boxing Ex-
hibition at Sagaau Hall

The young men of Denison enjoyed
a sparring match at the Saggau hal
on Monday evening of this week, Wher
Bennie Nicholson met Roger "Cy
Clone Sullivan in six round bout.
AS a curtain raiser there was a
wrestling match between Billy Wear
mouth and Art Williams, which re
suited in victory for Wearmouth
who secured the first fall in s minutes
and the second in minutes.
The boxing bout was one of the best
ever witnessed in Denison and both
of the young men displayed much tai.
ent with the gloves. Sullivan is a
whirlwind on his feet, but did not
prove too much for Nicholson, VINO
kept his opponent guessing from start
to finish. The rounds were of two min
utes each with rest of two minutes,
and at no time did they exhibit any
temper. No decision was rendered at
the close of the match and those who
witnessed it stated that it would be a
hard matter to say which one Of the
boys put up the best exhibition.

DENISON Loses
DUAL DEBATE
Debate Between Denison and Carroll
High Schools Proves Disastrous
for Denison in Both Events
TRIANGLE DEBATE NEXT MONTH
Notwithstanding Denison's Loss, Local
Debaters Deserve Much Credit
in Handling Their Subjects

The dual debate between the high
school teams of Carroll and Denison
on last Friday evening resulted in de.
cisions by the. judges for the negative
team from Carroll, which debated III
Denison, and the affirmative team OF
the, Carroll high school, debating in
their own city. The debate at Carroll
was held for the purpose of deter.
mining which team will be admitted to
the state debating contest to be held
in the near future, two at least of the
members of the Carroll team having
had the advantage of appearing on
state teams in former debates.
Owing to the failure ofIkwo of the
judges of the evening to make proper
train connections in the afternoon, the
opening of the debate in Denison was
delayed until ALMOST $3.50. A miscel-
,lanecus program hastily arranged af-
ter 6:3O Oh that evening was carried
cut and was heartily enjoyed by the
audience who gathered early to hear
the debate. Just preceding the open
ing of the discussions, double quar-
tet of the high school beautifully rem
dered ''The Rosary" and was heartily
ercored, responding with the selec-
ton. 1.-The Firehy.'
The team of debaters which went
down to Carroll to discuss the negative
side Of the question included Alfred
Faul, John Norris and Harold Poole,
with Margaret Pearson as alternate,
while the team remaining at home was
made up Of Miss Vera Poole, Roy Geb-
ert and William McHenry, with Miss
Margaret Zoren as alternate. The
Judges invited to render the decision
in Denison were, Superintendent Glaz-
ier, of Ida Grove; Superintendent VOr-
is. of Odebolt, and Superintendent
Stokes, of Scranton.
The question, Resolved, that the
several states should adopt schedule
of minimum wage for unskilled labor,
constitutionality granted afforded an
abundance of interesting arguments,
though involving many problems of
study and thought for solution. The
Carroll team, made up OF three young
ladies, excelled our home team in the
manner in which they had committed
their arguments and especially their
rebuttal speeches. They We're most
convincing in their delivery and ap-
peared to believe every conclusion

The high school basketball team has
two games scheduled for this week.
The first game will be played at Perry
On Friday evening with the high school
team of that place and on Saturday
evening they will play the Missouri
Valley team at Denison. Oscar
Strahan. who graduated from the Den
son high school, is coach at Perry this
year and the Denison boys expect>th
a great effort will be made to defeat
them. Missouri Valley has an eXcep-
tionally strong team this year and this
promises to be very fast game.

test MADE OF
new WELL SUPPLY
Engineer Woo!ston Makes Test Of Wa.
ter Supply From Deep Well and
Finds Well Must BE Deeper
DESIRES 200 GALLONS PER MIN.
Water Is of Purest Character, But
Samples Will Be Sent to Iowa
City for Analysis.

A test of the deep we'll which is be-
ing drilled just west of the new munic-
ipal light plant was made yesterday af-
ternoon by City Engineer Frank Wool
ston, together with the men who are
engaged in doing the drilling, and af-
ter an exhaustive test had been made
it was decided that there was not
enough water flowing into the we'll to
take care Of Denison's needs. Al
though there was over 900 feet of wa
ter in the we'll after few minutes
pumping this was diminished to such
an extent that it was evident that
there was not an abundant supply of
water. Water was pumped out at the
rate Of 100 gallons per minute and In
Is minutes of pumping the water was
lowered little over Is feet. Mr..
.Woolston states that the new we'll
must be sunk to depth which will
insure supply of water so that when
the pumps are working 200 gallons
can be pumped each minute without
lowering the water to any great ex-
tent A well with capacity OF 200
gallons per minute would furnish ev-
cry man, woman and child in DenisOn
with 100 gallons of water each day. Ac-
cording to statistics the average con-
sumption of water is figured at 200
gallons for every inhabitant. At a
glance this would seem out of reason,
but when one stops to consider that
water is used in boilers, for water
motors, toilets and for sprinkling
lawns it is not surprising that this
much water is used
The water in the new we'll seems to
be of the purest character and samples
of it taken around to the business men
was said to be equal to the present wa
ter. 1t is clear and sparkling without
the slightest odor and does not have
the mineral taste that is SO common
with water obtained from deep wells.
Gown at Dunlap where they sunk q
deep we'll the water has pronounced
mineral taste to 1t and has caused con-
siderable dissatisfaction. Mr.. Wool
ston received containers yesterday
from the State university and samples
will be sent today to the university
laboratory. where 1t will be tested as
to its purity. AS soon as it is evident
that there is sufficient supply of wa
ter to take care of DenisOn's needs
work will be stopped on the we'll

DISTRICT COURT
NEXT MONDAY
Large Number of Cases on Calendar
and All Cannot Be Disposed Of
at This Term Of Court.
CASE COMING UP
Heirs of Mr.. and Mrs. August Meyer,
Killed in Wreck, Sue to Determine
/. Which Of Parents Died First

District court is to convene on next
Monday, Judge Albert coming here
from Sac City. where. he closes the
January term for that county this
week.
The court will find a large number
of cases on the calendar for trial when
court convenes on Monday and it is
not to be presumed that all of the
cases for trial will be disposed Of at
this coming term. Recently a number
Of cases have been started which, in
fairness to the litigants, should be
tried at the coming term of court, but
which may Be delayed on account OF
older cases on the calendar to be tried
or otherwise settled. 1t is to be hoped
the cases growing out of the COLLAPSE
of the Wright and Kinney building
will be reached for trial at this term,
but that is problematical.
A new case was started recently
against the opera house company,
growing out of an accident where a
party came in contact with a fire
escape and was injured.
Another case grows out Of man
being thrown from motorcycle on the
highway between Denison and Schles-
wig almost two years ago.
A rather interesting case is that in
which the heirs of August Meyer and
wife are concerned. August Meyer
and his wife, about three years ago,
We're killed in wreck on the Union
Pacific railroad not far from Gothen-
burg, Neb. They were both killed in
the same wreck but the question has
never been determined which survived
the other. 1t was not thought of any
consequence in the start to develop
the fact, but recently the interests of
the children have prompted some Of
them at least to investigate the ques-
tion of whether the husband or the
wife died first.
August Meyer left will and some
of the children thought they had been
unfairly Disseminated against in the
distribution Of the property and in
stituted a contest against the probate
OF the WILL These contestants have
concluded that if they are able to show
that their mother survived their father
for any length OF time that it would
make a difference in their share of the
property. and suit has been institut-
ed in which it is proposed to show

Note: Until May 8, 1915, the county
road cash fund was constituted by
transferring the one mill county road
fund.- the two mill county road build
ing fund and the motor vehicle fund
to what was called the county road
cash fund, although there never was
and is not now levy made for the
county road cash fund, the transfers
being made merely to simplify records,
accounts, ETC..
Since Nav 8. 1915, the county road
cash fund has been constituted as be.
fore with the exception that the motor
vehicle road fund has been kept sep
arate as provided by law to be used
only in paying for the construction CT
permanent culverts or for the crown
ing, dragging, draining or gravelins
of public highways outside the limits
of cities or incorporated towns.
Ninety per cent of the money paid
to the secretary Of state for registra-
ton of automobiles is apportioned to
the counties of the state in proportion
to the number OF civil townships in
the counties, per cent goes to the
state highway commission for its main
tenance, and it is the writer's opinion.
though not definitely stated in the
statute, that the remaining per cent
is used by the secretary of state to
cover cost. Of number plates and office
work in connection Herewith.
Apportionments are made by the
auditor of state to the county treasur-
ers in April and August of each year.
On April 5, 1915, this county received
$S,862.0O which was transferred to the
county road cash fund, with which
fund 81 reinforced concrete box cul-
Verts were built at a cost of 1,933.75
and so temporary culverts were built
at a cost of $41O4.S9, making total
Of $16,O38.34 worth Of culvert work
classed as road work and paid by
county road cash fund. into which sS,-
$4,000 of motor vehicle fund was trans
fefred. In other words, it may, be said
that our first 1915 draw of $S,S62.O0
from automobile registration was used
in building permanent concrete box
culverts.
