SO that business men and clerks may
attend the services at the cemetery
Heretofore it has been the custom tC
hold services at the cemetery in the
forenoon and in the afternoon a pro
grOm has been carried out at the opera

Clement j. Welch, chairman of the
civic committee. who had charge of
cleanup week made report on the
campaign which was Of so much val
ue to Denison. The reading OF this re.
port brought general discussion OF con
ditions im the business district and
the club finally recommended that the
city council take some action to have
ash boxes, signs and other unsightly
relics of antiquity removed from the
business streets.
Some few weeks ago an effort was
made by the commercial club to have
the train service on the Boyer Valley
branch of the Northwestern restored
as well as to have No. 13, the Hawkeye
express going west on the main line
at 1905 p. M, stop at Dow City. Mr..
Lyon, the president of the club. who
sent in the petition to the proper OIL
cials of the road. reported that there
were no hopes of having either request
granted. The superintendent OF the
Sioux City division reported that the
trains which were taken Off OF the
Boyer Valley branch had been operated
at loss and that the receipts from
these two trains had not been enough
to pay the engineer and fireman. The
Superintendent of the Boone division
visited Denison recently and stated
that No. l3. has such fast schedule
that it would be out Of the question to
have it make another stop not already
scheduled There is, however, some
likelihood that through train will be
put on in the near future from Deni-
son to Sioux City which will leave
Denison shortly after 500 o'clock
and will return in the evening.
This train is now made UP at Carroll
and runs via Wall Lake to Sioux City,
returning in the evening. BY running
this train out of Denison the service
here would be partially restored and
would give Denison Sunday train to
Lake View. something that has been
needed for a long time.
Nothing definite has been decided,
however. in regard to this service as
it will have to come through the gen
eral offices at Sioux City. but we are
told the superintendent of the Sioux
City division has recommended the
change and there is every reason to
believe that it will be forthcoming.

County Auditor Portz During
Week-Gopher Bounties $233.

Few people realize the amount Of
money paid out by Crawford county
for wolf and gopher bounties, and if
all of the counties of the state are put
to the same expense as this county in
this one department there is no Won
der that the people complain of the

ment. On last Saturday Auditor P j.
Portz paid out $233 alone for gopher
bounties the claws being turned in
during the day. During the past week
SIP has been paid over to residents
of this county for wolf scalps. 1t
would seem that the supply of wolves
and gOphers would soon run out at
the rate they are being turned in to
the county for bounties, but each year
it seems to cost the county more than
the year previous. Auditor Portz esti-
mates that it costs Crawford county
for the gopher bounties.
The following bounties for wolf
scalps were paid out by Auditor Portz
during the past week:
May 5th. Ira Brundidge. Of Union
township, four cub wolf scalps. SIG.

where an elegant dinner was served
them, but the rain ruined nearly
everything except the brandy. The
second night they stopped at Winter
Seat and built great camp fires and
dried their clothes. The next day
people in the neighborhood carried
them to Edgefeld in wagons.
The soldiers were treated royalty
every where they went. They were
met on the way from Winter Seat to
Edgefeld by band of music, and
great walters ladened with whisky
punch. At Edgefeld they were in
,, vited to a magnificent feast at the
hotel where they were served with
all that could satisfy the appetite or
gladden. the heart.
The people of Edgefeld carried
them to Aiken in wagons the next
morning, where the company for the
first time saw steam cars. They
boarded the train and went to Char
lesion where they stayed for a week
or ten days before returning to Au-
gusta, Ga. ,...... ~
They went thence to Atlanta by
rail and from that point they again
resumed travel on the "peoples line"
and walked 10 miles toward Mont
gomery. At Montgomery they went
aboard boat and were taken to a
small island in the Gulf of Mexico.
The army was in command of Gener-
al Scott. And upon arrival OF Vera
Cruz he demanded the surrender of
the Mexicans. Instead of surrend-
ering they fired on him.
Like all Mexican soldiers who have
survived during the last twenty
years, whatever their financial con-
dition, Mr.. Wilkerson was granted o
pension by the Federal. Government
This was originally eight dollars pei
month, afterward raised to twelve
Members of the family express
themselves very gratefully for the
work of Congressman Aiken in hav.
ing his pension raised to twenty dol,
liars per month, by putting through
a special act of Congress for that
purpose. Mrs. Wilkinson, widow Of
the deceased, will receive a pension
of twelve dollars per month for the

FATHER REUNITED
TO ONLY DAUGHTER
LOST FOR q YEARS

NEW YORK, Feb. A father and
only daughter, who had been separated
for twenty-one years, and who each be-
lieved the other was dead, were reunit-
ed today in Union Hill, n. ]. The father
is Charles Wyckoff, a well-to-do Ne
Iada gold and copper mine owner, and
tie daughter of Mrs. Florence Gunther,
wife of Carl E. Gunther, and mother Of
two small children.
In 1895 Wyckoff's wife died and be-
ing down on his luck, he struck out
for the West, leaving his 20-months-ol
daughter in care of her grandmother,
Mrs. Dora Dehn,, of Union Hill. He
prospered beyond his expectations and
III 1904 he sent his private secretary
east with directions to locate his
daughter The secretary reported
back that the girl and her grand.
mother were dead.
Three weeks ago Wyckoff arrived in
New York, and on the streets he was
recognized by an old friend from I'm
ion Hill, who told him where Mrs.
Howard Cunningham, a relative, was
living. Wyckoff looked up Mrs. Cum
bingham and learned from her that his
daughter was living at Union HILL

ATTAIN IA GOOD FOR
MOST Anything

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. although
less than six months have passed
since the first unclothed damsel made
her appearance ON the screen before an
Atlanta audience, the nude and near
nude in high-class picture houses and
theatres as become an accepted COM
monplace.
Perhaps the reason the innovation
has been accepted is that in every in
stance the nude has been introduced
amid dignified and artistically proper
surroundings, and that the morale Of
the entertainments in which these mod
ern Ewes have appeared has been clean,
that is provided, of course, you don I
see anything immoral in the nude,
per Sc.
AS III SI I1lllC oil AIlduLd duu-
fence probably ever gazed on living
and moving representation of the hu-
man form divine, unc1othed, was prob
ably in 'Hypocrites" Since then there
have been two or three gorgeous films
i'll which the nude figure of a woman
has been introduced, and there will be
another one here this week in which
& prominent screen actress will be
seen disporting herself in a sylvan
glade like the nymphs of old.
And while the absolute nude has not
yet appeared on the speaking stage, va
ricus entertainments have come about
as close to it as you could get. A
leading vaudeville house announces
for next week the appearance of six
twentieth century Undines in an elab-
crate water spectacle, CARRIED only in
thin silk bathing trunks that end a
long way above the knees and leave
nothing to the imagination. During
the carnival, the most popular and
Cne of the cleanest shows on the mid
way was diving exhibition in which
several women, in broad daylight with
the sun shining, dived and posed on
spring boards in silhen tights that
fit like the paper on the wall.
Paul Swan in a leopard skin that
merely draped on shoulder and left
him naked from the waist up was a
spectacle that offended nobody, nor
was any surprise occasioned by the
fact that number of Atlanta society
girls appeared in the classic Greek
dances barefootsd and barelegged with
skirts that came sometimes below their
knees and sometimes above.
1t all SENS to be accepted just as
frankly and simply as people accept
the statuary in an art gallery.
