Mr.. Clay Lewis, our popular police
man, who secured the trip prize to
Buffalo, N. Y, in the contest which
closed last Monday, has been so kind
to Rev. r. Reeves that he donated his
ticket to Rev. Reeves to show the high
esteem that he and his amiable wife
holds the reverend. It was indeed a
great surprise to Rev. Reeves and is
highly appreciated by all. But few
people are SO generous as policeman
Lewis. He has the welfare of Des
Moines at heart and especially our col
ored institutions. If our race had
more of such liberal men our churches

KEOKUK.
Some Talented People Of the
Gate City.

This city has been enjoying season OF
social feast during the summer months.
It has had the honor OF entertaing some
brilliant young minds whose ability is not
merely confined to any special local.
ty, but IS of that sort that places them in
touch with state and nation and the many
burning issues to be met in all stages Of
advancement.
There are many young people in the great
state OF Iowa who can talk, write, or speak
nothing except on the "Negro Question:
then there are some whose broad and CON-
prehensive minds are able to srapple with
the grave questions that concern the well
fare OF the commonwealth. In word
the state of Iowa possesses some young
people who are so thoroughly acquainted
with the workings of a great republic
that they are able to reason out its most
perplexing problems aud arrive at logical
conclusions-two quantities that are un-
known to many Of our veteran public
orators-To that class of clear cut reason
ing people belong those who have spent
portion Of the summer season in Keokuk,
and among those of noble mind and
high aspirations may be mentioned the
name Of Miss Ida Mae Godfrey OF Mount
Pleasant, H., who is = graduate of the
lows Wesleyan University class of '98.
In college Miss Godjrey's ability was
recognized BY her class mates and she
was made president Of the Hypatia Society.
Since completing her college course Miss
Godfrey has directed her mind to the field
of pedagogy and is at present one Of the
valued teachers in the public schools of
Kansas City, Mo-, as lady Of rare at-
tainments Miss Godfrey occupies lofty
station in the minds of those whose pleas.
ure it has :been to meet her. Her ideas
are of that nature which lead to high aims
ond divine love for all that is good and
beautiful. BY such mind must be shaped
the destiny of struggling and oppressed
people.
Among the able young ladies Of the city
of Keokuk is Miss Sadie Amanda Benthan
who is High School graduate Of the class
of '93. Miss Benthaa also is an able
teacher employed by the state of Missouri
and is now principal of the Edna public
school, As calm deliberate thinker and
reasoner Miss Benthan has few equals.
Her recent treatise on the question of ex-
pansion stamped her as one Of authority
on questions OF national importance.
Another Keokuk girl whose ability il
unquestioned is Miss Ella Draine, : High
School graduate Of the class Of '94. This
young lady has the principslshIp Of the
Wentzville, Mo-. public school and has
mst with wonderful success in her field Of
