DENISON BOY hONORED.
Loyal voss Elected President Of the
Sophomore Class at State Uni
versity of Iowa.

Loyal Voss. son of Mr.. and Mrs. G.
l.. Voss, has been honorod by the soph-
omOre class of the State University of
Iowa by being elected their president
at a meeting held this week. When
one stops to consider that the class
is made up of several hundred stu
dents it is evident that Loyal has
made good or he would not have been
chosen for this important position.
Recently he was elected member
of the Irving literary society, one of
the leading societies at the university.
Loyal is a whole hearted, likeable
boy, and makes friends as easily as
does his father. We are glad to sec
him forging ahead at the university
and predict before he completes his
work there other honors will be con-
fcrrcd upon him.

of Ttown-Prominent Physician
Sustains Broken Hand.

DR.. J. J. Meehan was seriously in
jured Monday noon when he was re-
turning to Denison in his car after
making call east OF town. when his
electric machine plunged over al en-
bankment and landed on its side in a
deep ditch. The doctor sustained d
broken bone in his left hand and his
left ear was badly cut by broken glass
from one of the windows in the car
The accident occurred on the Lin
coin highway about three miles east
Of Denson near the Fred North farm.
DR.. Meehan was alone in the car and
was travelling at d moderate rate of
speed. He is unable to account for
the accident other than that the wheels
on one side of the car got into soft
dirt which swerved the machine to
the side of the grade and caused it to
pitch over the embankment.
The doctor is able to be up and
around. although he is carrying his
left arm in Il sling, but is able to at
tend to his practice. 1t is indeed for
tunatc that his injuries were not more
serious.

a meeting is to be held at the new
opera house on Broadway tomorrow.
Thursday. evening at o'clock in the
interest of the new liberty loan which
the government is pushing to raise
money from the sale of per cent
bonds to carry on the war. This will
be one Of the most important meet
ings held in Denison since the com
mencement Of the war: not only on ac-
count of the amount of money which
the government is to raise, but because
OF the sacred purpose to which it is
to be devoted. A first class speaker
is expected to be here from Chicago
to- explain fully all about the new loan
and the advantages as an investment
to those who may purchase the bonds.
There will be no solicitation Of those
who attend the meeting to purchase
bonds, nor will there be any collection
taken. The meeting will be purely
educational and the explanation will
be so complete that every man. WO-
man and child can understand exactly
what is expected. 1t becomes the duty

the family's clothing was destroyed.
The Robert McKim building. which
was rented by tile Boomer Cold Stor
age company of Council Bluffs for a
cream station and operated by Ear
Winans. was totally destroyed. The
insurance on this building had run
out so will be a total loss to the
estate. Mr.. Winans was able to re
building.
The building just east Of the hotel
owned by Geo. Landon. was destroyed
and it is said the insurance on this
property had also expired. Fred Vie
Der, the barber, rented this property
but short time ago and moved his
shop across the street and sublct a
portion of the building for pop corn
stand. The Deloit Red Cross society
used the building for some time as {,
work room. but their material was
moved out last week
The drug store, owned and operated
by Harry Mauck, was the last building
to catch fire. While his loss is con.
siderable. much Of his stock was re.
moved. The building and stock were
covered by insurance. Mr. Mauck's
Christmas stock arrived the first of
the week and he was marking the
goods when the fire broke out. Much
of this stock was destroyed This is
the third time that Mr.. Mauck has
been burned out, twice before coming
to DelOit.
Threatened True Mercantile Co.
For a time it seemed that tho True
mercantile establishment, located at
the east end OF the block, would also
catch on fire. Fortunately there was
a vacant lot between their building
and the drug store or it might have
been destroyed.
About seven years ago DelOit expe.
rienced similar fire when the hotel
and drug store were destroyed. but
the fire YESTERDAY did considerable
more damage.
Much credit is due Harlow Mason.

Beaman, Will Morrison and Andrew

rying valuablcs from the burning
1t is impossible at this time to give
the actual loss, but 1t will no doubt
run up into the thousands of dollars.
