in the case of two white men charged
with being drunk, there is a new and
dangerous brand of prohibition whisky
in town. The policemen testified that
they were called to the Security Build-
ing last Saturday night at 9:30 o’clock
to arrest two drunks who had made
their beds on the roof. The two min-
ions of the law made their way to the
top and going to the southeast corner)
found the two men sound asleep and
their bodies dangerously near the j \ J
odge. An empty quart bottle told the|<>
tale of a finished jag and a snore
which closely resembled thunder and
an approaching storm came from one
of the prostrate forms. The sleepers I
were awakened and marched from!
their high elevation and over to the
City Jail. When their cases were call-
ed in the police court this morning,
the men were absent and friends en-
tered pleas of guilty for them and paid
their fines.

SOME SHORT INTERVIEWS.
Expressions from Citizens on School
and Water Propositions.
To find out what is thought, of the
school tax and water proiHwiUons. tho
Herald will print, a number of short
Interviews. The number will depend
on tho number of people who cure to
talk for publication when approached
by reporters. Here Is the first install-
ment:
E. H. Hatina.’T am in favor of tho
special tax levy for tho purpose of
building a new high school ln Deni-
aon and will vote for It. As for the
city buying the water plant of the
Denison City Water Company. I am
opposed to It and will vote against It.”
R. L. McWlllie—“The city of Deni-
son should build a new High School
building in the western portion of tho
city and on the western portion of
the ground now occupied by the old
Washington School. As to the dty
purchasing tho water plant, I will tell
you more about that proposition after
I've made an Investigation.”
Harry Tone—“1 am opposed to a
special tax levy to erect a High School
building for the reason that it would
raise our present tax rate to 32 on the
$100. If It were a bond issue for a
period of twenty years, I would vote
for It, as tho next generation should
assist ln paying for It. I believe that
the city should acquire the water
plant and I will vote for It.”
John Corcoran—“What we want fn
Denison Is schools and more schools
and you can put mq down in favor of
the special tax levy. I do not fully
understand the water proposition and
will Investigate the matter before de-
claring myself on the subject.”
"Now, Harry, while speaking of Clothes, l Just want to say this* '
I feave bonght Clothes in Denison for a long time. I have worn
Clothes^ Hats and Toggery from every store In town—I’ve tried them
all. But, when all is said, 1 will sum up my experience by saying
that the Clothing and Outfitting I get at the U. 8. Clothing Co.’s are
fgr ahead of anything I have been able to find anywhere else.
They’re always ahead in style—their Clothing is finely made and cor-
rectly cut. Then again, they charge you only a fair price—no f&ncy
figures.”
This Is the way that men, who know, speak of us and our
Clothes.
At your service, sir! ’■

Mayor Thinks Committed Can Divida
Inspection Wo
When the meeting of the Commit-
tee of sixty-five citizens, Recently ap-
pointed by the Mayor, to
plaiit of the Denison City
pany convenes tonight ln the old City
Hall, It Is extremely doubtful if half
of them answer roll-call. Many of
those named take the same view as
Dr. F. M. Teas, who sent in his resig-
nation as a member of the committee
to the Mayor last week. Dr. Teas, ln
his note to Dr. Acheson, stated that
the time was too short to make an
intelligent report on the matter before
election day, which Is set for June 30.
In reply to the letter of resignation
of Dr. Teas. Mayor Acheson sent the
following answer:
Dr. F. M* Teas, Denison, Texas;
Dear Doctor:—Out of the sixty-five
members, could you not form twenty
or twenty-one committees, and entrust
to each committee certain details?
We hive tried ln this movement to
secure representative men in each
field of labor: boilermakers, mechan-
ics, machinists, locomotive engineers,
stationary engineers, civil engineers,
doctors preachers. etc. Sincerely
your, Alex W. Acheson.
Dr. Teas said that he is still of the
same opinion as to the committee not
having time enough to work on the
matter, and will therefore decline to
serve.

plication for the appointment of a re-

teenth District Court, before w hom the

snlt for the plaintiff, stated that the
concern was an mi incorporated asso-
ciation and had sustained heavy lossea
as a result of the floods in this state
and others, and that the numerous
claims against it as a result had made
necesaary the application for a re-
ceiver.
Some 100 policyholders of the con-
cern reside in Denison and there are
several suits now pending in the local
Justice Courts against the association.
