LAST OF THREE
BROTHERS GONE
Death Of Mr., Louis Romans Occurs
Friday, February 11th, After a
Long, Lingering illness.
CHILDREN ARE LOYAL TO LAST
Preceded to Great Beyond by His Wife
Some Five Years Ago-Seyen
Children Left to Mourn.

Mr.. Louis Romans. resident of
Crawford county for more than thirty
years, died ut his home in this city
on the afternoon of Friday, February
1lth, at the age of GA years, 6 months
and II days. The news of the death
of Mr.. Romans did not come as a sur
Prise to his many friends and acquaint-
ances in the county, as it followed an
illness CT four or five years duration,
during which time there has been a
gradual decline and for the past few
months he has becn growing rapidly
weaker He had suffered much and
his illness was such as to render him
almost helpless. 1t would have been
necessary for him to have remained
in his home had it not been for the
constant and tender care given him
by his loved ones who made it possible
for him to be up town almost every
day. The attention shown him by his
sons WAS appreciated greatly by Mr..
Romans. Since the death of his wife
his sons, Mr.. Brown Romans. and wife
have been living with him and it is
through their efforts that the last few
years Of his life were made most pleas
ant. The death of Mr.. Lou Romans
removes the last of the three brothers
who, for the past thirty years or more,
had large part in the affairs of Craw-
ford county and of the city OF Denison.
The deceased was the son of Elisha
and Elizabeth knight-Romans, and
was born in Harrison county, Ohio,
en- the 7th day OF August, 1851. He
moved to Clinton county, Iowa, with
his parents when five years OF age and
when but seven years old his Sfather
departed this life. Thus, early in life,
he became q sharer in the tolls and
hardships brought upon the family by
the death of his father. After resid-
ing iniClinton county for few years
he removed to Harrison county, where
he lived for some time. While living
there he was united in marriage to
Minerva A. Rowland on the 23d day Of
August, 1876. From Harrison county
they moved to Nicola, Iowa, where they
RESIDED for a year and half, then
moving to Charter Oak, in this county,
to make their permanent home. For
seventeen years Mr.. Romans was en-
gagged in business at Charter Oak. He

Verdict for Mr.. keily-Probate
Calendar Up to Date.

The January term of the district court
closed ON Friday afternoon Of last week
after busy and successful term. We
do not recall term Of court for a long
time where so many cases we're dis
posed of as at the last term, which
justifies the prediction that within a
year or two the work of this county
will be well in hand and cases can be
tried within reasonable time after
they are brought.
The case of Rundlett VS. The Great
Western Railway company was called
for trial and settled after the jury was
called into the box.
The case of Book VS. Thcde, a case
arising at Manila, was tried to a jury
and proved to be case of some inter

disputed account between the two
parties. and continued for couple OF
days or more. when the jury retired
and returned with a verdict for the
full amount claimed by Mr.. Book A
motion for a new trial has been filed
by the defendant. based upon alleged
errors of the court and jury and also
because of the claim OF newly discOV-

The case of Thompson VS. Kelly, and
the last jury case tried, was an
action brought by Thompson against
/ Kelly to cover commission for an al.

The Jury returned verdict against
Thompson and for Mr.. Kelly. Thomp-
son sought to convince the jury that
he had done something to facilitate
the sale by Mr.. Kelly, but the jury
was not very much impressed with his
claim and turned it down.
In the case OF Pierce VS. Caldwell.

rendered.
A large amount of probate business
was disposed of the last few days o
the term, which brings the probate
calendar up to date.

SCHOOL AeAhooNs THE COURSE
Not Single Evening on Which En-
tertainments Were Given Free
From Counter Attractions.

Sidney Landoh, who appeared in
Denison last Thursday evening as the
closing number OF the lecture course,
presented most interesting and
charming study of some of the most
noted men of literary fame. AS he lee
tured, in half humorous and half
serious vein. he rapidly and with skill
donned his makeups Of the various
characters portrayed, and as each pic.
ture was completed merely by change
Of lines In the face wige, and the atti-
tude of the speaker, he presented some
choice bit of prose or poetry which had
won laurels for its author. 1t was a
disappointment to many of the audi
ence that on account of counter at
fractions OF the same evening the pro.
gram commenced at 1880 instead of 8
O'Clock, a fact which was not general
ly known before the entertainment.
Many missed a greater part of the
program. as it was somewhat shortened
also. The, program was an excellent
one, the Characterization of Victor
Hugo shortly before his death requir-
ing perhaps the greatest art in its
presentation. Sidney Landon is an
artist in his line and the program was
much appreciated by the audience.
1t is with regret that we learn that
the high school will not undertake the
lecture course another year. Some
companies of high merit have been
presented during the past season by
the management, but not a single eve
ming on which the entertainments were
given has been free from other attrac-
tiOns which have greatly decreased
the size of the audiences and the re-
ccipts at the door. 1t is a most diff
cult matter to secure good talent for
the lecture course if the size of the
audiences does not warrant the large
amount of money which is necessarily
expended upon the best companies. We
hope that some organization of the
city will see fit to undertake the
course another year as the, numbers
are most beneficial addition to the
community. II a course is secured we
wish.t to urge the people of the city to
stand by the management in order
that tile best Of talent may be secured.

Three cars of a freight train on the
Illinois Central railroad were derailed
near the stock yards in Denison Mon
day night. The exact cause OF the &C
cident is not known, but it is believed
that one Of the brake shoes came loose
and fell on the track, causing three
of the cars to leave the rails. 1t was
fortunate that the accident occurred
just where it did or train service would
have been greatly hampered, but all
trains were run over the sidetrack
around the derailed cars. The wreck
ing crew from Ft. Dodge arrived early
Tuesday morning and everything was
cleared up SO that trains are now run
ming over the main line.

promises to be the best home talent
affair ever given in DenisOn. The for
ty people who take part in the show
have been at work on their roles for
several weeks and during the past ten
days rehearsals have been held almost
every evening. Mrs. Plummer, an ex-
pert in her line. is here directing the
talent, and she is more than pleased
with the progress that is being made.
The entertainment is being given for
the benefit OF the Denison Athletic
Field association, and it is hoped that
the proceeds after all expenses are
paid will go a long way towards wip-
ing out the Indebtedness OF the asso-
citation. Tickets for the Thursda3
evening entertainment were placed on
sale Monday at the Schlumberger
pharmacy and it looks as if every seat
will be sold before night.
There is considerable speculation as
to who are going to take leading roles
in the minstrel show, but nothing has
been given out We have it from those
in close touch with the affair that a
number of our leading citizens will
appear for the first time on the stage
and few of the characters who took
Denison by storm in the County Fair"
two years ago will participate in the

that Deniscn has put on for years and
one that every citizen should attend.

recent address some of the decisions
which have become a matter of COM
mon belief through the unwarranted
liberties which have been taken with
the facts of history in the textbooks

achievements of our army in the War
of 1872, generally characterized as
triumph for American arms, and as

partment is undoubtedly worried"
says Mr. J. K. Roddy, the accommo-
dating assistant cashier of the Western
National Bank of Caldwell, because
the half dollar is unpopular. At any

ton says the half dollar has fallen vir-
tually into disuse. Dimes, quarters
and half dollars of new design will be
minted after July LIST, and the new de-
sign was selected with the hope of re-
storing the half dollar to more gener-
al circulation.
For the first time since 1891 a
change will be effected in these
pieces" continued Mr.. Roddy. under
the new coinage each piece will be of
different design. The half dollar and
dime models were made by Adolph A.
Weinman and the quarter dollar by
Hermon A. MacNeil, both sculptors
of note.
The face of the new half dollar
bears full length of liberty, with a
background of the American flag fly
ing to the breeze. The goddess is
striding toward the dawn of a new
day, carrying laurel and oak branches,
symbolic of civil and military glory.
The reverse side shows an eagle
perched high upon mountain crag,
wings unfolded. Growing from a rift
in the rock is sapling of mountain

B. M. Holt Authorizes Statement that

Midvale will soon have new grain

by the Caldwell Milling & Elevator
Co. According to the Midvale Re-
porter, B. M. Holt. general manager
F. c. Lilly, assistant manager, were
recently in Midvale. and completed
arrangements for the building Of their
big elevator at that place.
The Reporter says that Mr.. Holt
stated to its representative that they
expeced to start work on the building
in very short time or just as SOON
as they were assured there would be
mo further knocking, as it were. They
would have started work before now
on another site, had it not been for
certain parties getting out with their
hammer and as the company does not
wish to create any hard feelings
among our citizens, they decided mot
to press the matter of locating on the
last site they purchased and allowed it
to revert back to the original owners
and are now prepared to go. ahead
with construction on the old site and
will do so if there is NO further ham
mer singing. Here's hoping that
those interested will see the necessity
as we'll as the benefit of an elevator
here, and will lay down and be good
if they cannot get out and boost for
it."
