CIRCUS TO VISIT DENISON.
Gollmar Bros. Show to Exhibit Hfre
Thursday, May 20th—Big Me-
1
nagerie Main Attraction.
"System and efficiency" is tlie mot
to of the modern successful business
man in no business is this motto
more closely adhered to than in tlie
management of a large circus such as
Gollmar Bros. America's Greatest
Shows, which is to exhibit at Denison
on -Thursday. May 20th.
In a show the size of Gollmar Bros,
if a definite plan were not followed out
faithfully chaos would be tlie result.
Wi.en the performance is over at
nigtit. every piece of show property
front the smallest' piece of rope or
stake to the monster canvas under
which tlie t-ifcus performance is giv
en, is leaded in the sume place in the
same wagon, the wagon is hauled to
the same place on tlie same car of
the train by the same team. This or
der is not varied from one end of the
season to tlie other.
A big circus like the Gollmar Bros,
moves too fast to stop to teach any
one, therefore, efficiency is tlie first
requirement of everyone with the
show, from the humblest canvasman
to the highest salaried employee on
the pay roll, all must understand their
business thoroughly, aijd he prepared
to do the work they are engaged for
at all. times and under all conditions.
Gollmar Bros, have added the entire
collection of trained wild animals of
circus for this season, and the big
Herr Driesbock to their mammoth
combined shows will exhibit at Den
ison on Thursday, May 20th.

LOCAL HOSPITAL
MAY BE SOLD
Doctors Visit Denison With View of
Purchasing the Denison Hospital
to Use for Sanitarium.
DIRECTORS WILL SOON DECIDE
Sorre Stockholders Not Favoring Sale
Unless Hocpital Can Be Used by
Local Physicians for Patients
There is a rumor current that the
Denison hospital may be sold to two
out of town doctors, who contemplate
purchasing tho same fcr a sanitarium.
These doctors, wiio are prominent
physicians in a nearby town, are now
conducting a sanitarium and are malv
ing a success of it, but tlie railway
facilities are not the best anil they are
anxious to secure a location more
suitable alid for some time have been
considering Denison. They were tak
en through the hospital yesterday and
were well satisfied with the building
and equipment and especially with the
site overlooking the beautiful Boyer
valley.
We are informed that, letters have
been sent to the stocUho'ders of the
Denison hospital and a meeting will
be called in the near future for the
f.urpoce of deciding whether or not
the property will be sold. Home of the
stockholders, we are informed, will
not be willing to sell the property If
the hospital can not be used tor the
caring for of patients of our local doc
tors. They might be in favor of sell
ing the hospital if it is possible to en
ter into an arrangement whereby all
local physicians may perform opera
tions there and ha\e their patients
cared for.
The Denison hospital has not been
a paying institution as all Denison
people know, nor has it been self sus
taining. There has been no end of
work on the part,of the hosuital board
to keep tho institution going and it
has only been through the public spir
itedness of our citizoii3 and ladies'
clubs that enough money has been
forthcoming to keep tlie hospital open.
REE5BERG5 ERECTING BUILDING
Are Building Work Shop and Dry
Cleaning Establishment on Prop
erty on Lower Main Street
Ree .berg Bros, have commenced the
eroct.ion of a modern building on Mr.
A. B. Reesberg's lot at the corner of
Chestnut and Main streets, which they
will usi for a work shop and tlry denn
ing establishment. They have found
that their, quarters in the new opera
house block are not large enough so
tli&y decided to build a building where
all the tailoring work will be done,
as well as tho dry cleaning. Their
room in the opera house block will be
used for a salesroom entirely.
The new building is being built of
cement blocks and is 2S.\S8 feet in
dimensions, one story high. It will
front on Main street and a large por
tion of the building will be devoted
to a work shop for the tailors. The,
remainder of the building is to bo fit
ted up for dry cleaning and all of the
latest appliances for the cleaning of
clothes will be iustalleil. We are tola
on good authority that the dry clean
ing establishment will be the finest
in western Iowa. With the new para
phernalia they will be able to clean
the finest of women's garments. The
new building will he constructed so
that workmen will have the best of
light at all times of the day and the
ventilation will be perfect. They ex
pect to be able to occupy it the latter
pari of this month.
Mr. A. B. Reesberg. during his resi
dence in Denison, lias built up a lurge
tailoring trade, not only here in Den
ison, but in the surrounding territory,
llis brother only recently came from
Illinois and has gone into the business
with him and will have charge of the
ladies' tailoring department. 1-le has
had years of experience along this
line and no doubt this part of tlie bus
inesii will grow in proportion.
Saturday was the busiest day in
Denison since the tirxt of the year1
and Denison merchants wore kept
busy from early morn till late at night
waiting on customers. Most of the
customers were from a distance tak
ing advantage of tlie good roads. The
streets were full of automobiles and
around the court house a Review re
porter counted over ninety machines
parked along tho curbing, and it is
safe to sny that over one hundred ma
chines visited Denison during
day. Denison is one of the best trad
ing centers iu western Iowa and peo
ple generally recognize this fact, com
ing here from a distance of forty
miles to purchase goods'. Denison
business houses carry a complete line
of merchandise with a varietv to se
lect from that cannot he excelled out
side of the larger cities.
Miss Bessie Hall, of Duulap, arrived
in Denison Saturday for a week end
visit at the home of her sister, Mrs.
Myron Bell, south of town.

The firemen held a meeting at tho
city hall Friday evening ot last week
to perfect arrangements lor the com
ing tournament and transacted some
important business. From aR indica
tions the tournament is going to be a
success from every standpoint. Word
comes from Logan that they are going
to havo a running team here to com
pete for the line lot ot prizes, the first
team which tliev have ever entered in
a tournament.
The grounds lor the tournament
have been causing the fire bovs no
1
end of worry and this matter was fin
ally disposed ot at. the meeting last
week. For several weeks thev have
been endeavoring to secure the ground
belonging to the Northwestern rail
road, located just south of the Illinois
Central depot, but the Northwestern
has leased this ground to one ot their
employees Tor a term of years and it
was impossible to make suitable ar
rangements, so it was finally given
up. It has been decided to have the
races run on East Vine street trom
Washington park to the new athletic
park, and the city council has already
