It Denison it to adopt the com-
mission form of city government, it
id time tome attention was paid to
the matter. The change will have
to be authoriaed by a vote ot the
people, and the election should be
called next month, at it it import-
ant to get the bill providing for the
change in the charter at early aa
possible after the legislature meets
in January, that speedy action may
be secured. The results of the com-
mission system in Houston have
been so flattering that the matter it
at least worthy ot the serious con-
sideration of/bur citisens. When
the commisyfonert t *ok ehurge *t the
affairs of that city there was a mu-
nicipal indebtedness ot $330,000,
with no prospect of its ever being
less. But when business men were
placed at tha head of affairs the
change for the better was speedy
and wonderful. Now the entire in-
debtedness is wiped out, several
miles of streets have been paved,
and many other needed and sub-
stancial improvements made, and
here is money in the treasury, it is
unreasonable to expect men who re
ceive only five dollars a month aa
councilmen, to devote that time to
the city’s affairs which is demanded
No one can afford to neglect his own
business for that of the corporation.
Under the new system the commis-
sioners rective a salary sufficient to
make it an object tor first class busi-
ness men to depote their entire time
to the city’s affairs. In a town the
size ot Denison a mayor and two, or
at the most, three commissioners
ought to* be sufficient. The best
business men available should be
elected and the salaries should be
not less thin $2,000 each per annum.
As all subordinate offices art filled
by them and under their control the
commission assumes all the-respons
ibility of the management of munic-
ipal affairs. At this time, when the
municipal ownership ot the water
wotks is being considered and street
paving is a matter to receive earl>
attention, this question of a commis-
sion is highly important. If it ii an
improvement, and experience seems
to be decidedly favorable, the matter
• hould receive the thoughtful con-
sideration of every citizen and prop-
erty bolder in the city. The Gaz-
etteer would like to see communi'
cations on the subjest in the local
papers.

REAL ELEGANCE
XT is something to awn shoes that impart real elegance
X to the feet. It is something more when with that
real elegance you also get r :al comfort for the feet;
and it is an achievement when Doth are made posable at
a moderate cost. Yet that is ekactly what is offered you
in "Dorothy Dodd” Shoes The most fastidious are
pleased with their style and fitting qualities; the most
economical and thrifty with the superb value they afford
for the money. This store his the exclusive sale of
these splendid shoes. Let us show you the new styles.
During an auction aale of the
household effects of the late John
Mullin, m Detroit, a man supposed
to be in very moderate circumstan-
ces, $ 15,0c o in gold was found
hiddenSway under a dusty old car-
pet which the auctioneer had just
sold for $1 50 as it lay on the floor.
When tbe purchaser ripped it up the
money was found. Mr. Mullin war
at one time prominent in the iron
industry at Pittsburg.

Senator Tillman called the bluff
of the negroes and their backer in
Chicago and delivered his lecture in
that ^city Tuesday notwithstanding
the threats. He refused to change
the subject of bis lecture, “Shall the
United States Annex Cuba,” leav-
ing out the discussion of the race
question, but when he appeared on
tne plattorm he said he was going
after the race question with hammer
and tongs, and he did. He gave
Mayor Dunne a backhanded slap,
who had refused to introduce him
aittr receiving the protests of a del-
egation of negroes, who waited on
him with their protest. Mr. Till-
man said:
“I have been told that I have
been snubbed by the mayor of this
city,” said Mr. Tillman. “I never
saw Mayor Dunne in my life. 1
I did not ask him to be htre to in-
troduce me to this audience, nor did
I ask any one else to do so. If any
one has been snubbed, it is those
gracious ladies who planned this
meeting to secure money tor the
Chicago Union Hospital, who re-
quested Mayor Dunne, tbe creature*
ot a political party, to come forward
and add his mite.”
There was no disturbance, and a
large audience listened to the lecture.

R. D. Reims's Last Sale
The committee appointed to in-
vestigate weter supply for tbe city
have a good deal ot work on their
banda, not only as to securing a sup-
ply but water tree from alkali or
lime, and if a reservoir supplied by
rain, one that ia not to located aa to
become contaminate I with decaying
vegetation and other polutmg ma-
terial. Mr. W. B. Munion'a sug-
gestion, which appeared in tbe Her-
ald last Friday, is worthy ot careful
consideration. His plan ia to pump
weter from Red River at flood time
when it is claimed the water ia en-
tirely tree from alkali. Large res-
ervoirs would be provided for stor-
ing the weter which would also
serve the purpose of set'ling basins.
This might prove e very expensive
method, but it is worthy of consid-
eration.
But why not investigate tbe ar-
tesian supply ? The government j
geologist, Robert T. Hill, in 1901.
stated 10 hit report on tbe geology |
on tbe Black Land Praires of Texas, j
that in all probability there was • I
flowing area north of Denison which
would be of great value to tbe city
as a source of city supply. He
says:
From tbe tact that tbe waters in
tbe deep well one mile south of
Denison, rose to within fifty feet of
tbe aurtace or to 630 feet above sea
level, it ta evident that had this well
been located on ground one hundred
feet lower the water would have
reached the surface and a good flaw
could have reasonably been expect-
ed at anv point lower than Coo tect
where flowing could be obtained
w! ich could furnish water to be
pumped to the city. Furthermore
the wella thus located would be
shallower than the one drilled. Ac-
cording to the geologic formation at
the crossing of Duck Creek by the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway,
j where tbe formation is the top ot
j the Kiamitia clay, tbe bottom reaer-
j voir encountered in the deep well
! one mile south of Deniaon should
I not be over 3c D feet below the sur-
face. In the Red River valley
j north ot the Red River fault, which
bet between Duck Creek and Red
j River bridge, the bssement reser-
! voirs will deepen again to 730 feet
below the river level.
This description it accompanied
by a map showing the extent of this
underground lake. With this re-
port of the government geologist
betore our people it would seem ad-
visable to tir.k a test well. The ex-
pense need not be large, as the
well would not be sunk, accordii g
