WANTACOURT HOUSE
Many Keokuk County People
Favor Erection of New Building.
100000 APPROPRIATION DESIRED
General Sentiment Seems to Favor
Securing of New Location and Elk
changing Present Square for Pub
lie Park-other sieourney News.

Sigourney, July S.-If the present
wish of many of the people of Keokuk
county, which has now begun to take
definite form, continues to meet with
favor, it is believed that the voters of
this county will declare themselves in
favor of the erection of new court
house at the coming fall election. This
matter is receiving considerable agi-
tation among mnay of the enterprising
citizens of Sigourney and the sur
rounding country, and there seems to
be a growing demand for new county
building commensurate with the
wealth and prosperity of the county.
The proposition submitted calls for
100000 court house and it is the
opinion of many that this is not an ex-
cessive appropriation considering the
present cost of building materials.
Favor New Site.
There is at the present time gener.
ally expressed desire among the peo-
pie of the county that Sigourney fur
nish site for the new building in ex.
change for the present county square
that the latter ground may be used
for public park. AS to the location
of the new site there seems to be
quite general sentiment in favor of
securing the ground north of the pres.
ent square. 1t is stated that the re.
publicans of Keokuk county will be a
unit on this proposition this fall. It
Is prophesied that the calculations that
have been made by some for lack of
harmony in the G. o. P. Of the county
this fall will prove to be highly erro-
neous.r Present prospects would indi.
cate that a strong ticket will be nom.
mated at the coming September con-
vention and the loyalty that has pre-.
yiously prevailed will be again shown
this year.

ABOUT THE POPES GIFTS.
Inquiries to Their Acceptance.
Delicate Question Brought Up

Washington, July Ex-Governor Taft
has acquainted Secretary Root with the
fact reported in the news dispatches
from Rome that the Pope had rendered
several pretty and appropriate gifts to
himself and members of his party, and
he has asked whether these Can be law
fully accepted. 1t was at once recog-
nized that the question presented in
volved some very delicate and interest
ing points, principal among them being
a possible decision, expressly to be
avoided at this stage in the opinion of
the officials, as 10 the temporal powers
of the pope. If these we're decorations
or gifts of large value, then under the
constitutional Inhibition, they might not
be received without authority of con-
gresS if the pope is regarded as having
temporal power, as being prince, po-
tentate, ora sovereign.
an unpleasant decision of this question
by informing Governor Taft that If
these gifts are not OF considerable in
trinsic value and are pei 1sonai in char
acter, they may be accepted as mere
souvenirs, in which case the personality
of the giver need not pe a matter of
official inquiry. On the other hand, if
the gifts are of exceptional vaIue which
is not believed to be the case from the
newspaper reports, then they may be
deposited in the Smithsonian Institute
in this city.

TAKEN BY STATE DEPARTMENT
TO SAVE A LIFE
DR.. RUSSELL WILSON
Now Under Arrest at BIuefeId, Held

Senator Hanna Using his Influence

Washington, July 22.-The state de-
save the life OF DR.. Russell Wilson, a
young Ohio physician who is held un-
der arrest at Bluefield by the Nicara-
guam military authorities.
WilsonNwas a member of a filibuster-
ing party which made a landing near
Monkey Point, about four miles from
Bluefeld. Most Of the party were cap
tured, owing to The inability of the
commander of the expedition to land
reinforcements on account of heavy
weather, and among the number was
Wilson.
The Nicaraguan general was about
TO execute him summarily, but was in
duced by the pleas of some of the En-
'gllsh speaking people of Bluefield TO
allow the law to follow its course.
This meant a trial by court-martial,
and II is the understanding that a
death sentence was almost inevitable.
Wilson lives at Milan, o., and Senator
Hanna has interested himself in his
case
Today acting Secretary Hill tele-
graphed to the United States consul at
San Juan del Uorte to make an immedi-
late investigation and report the facts
It once. In addition, the consul was
directed to use his good offices with the
Nicaraguan authorities lin favor of
young Wilson, as Senator Hanna has
represented that he was not a combat
ant, but was attached to the revolu-
tionary expedition in a medical ca
pacity.

Yes the statement published is cor

Roosevelt is the only man who is seri-

are trying to fan into Z blaze but they
cannot make them purn steadily and
they will all go out in due time, ex-

CORO.ERS JURY.
Vow Investigating the Murder OF
Albert &. Latimer-witnesse Tes-
timOny.

New York. July 22.-The coroner's in
quest called TO investigate the shooting
Of Albert c. Latimer at his home in
Brooklyn on the morning of July End
was resumed today. Latimer died in
a hospital. All he told of the shooting
was that he was shot in bed, and that
he did not believe it was done by a bur
glar.
Mrs. Bella Treadwell testified that a
long time ago Mrs. Latimer said it was
hard to be tied to a man and see some
one else you really loved"
Mrs. Treadwell thought the remark
was made without any reference to
Mrs. Latimer herself
William II. TuthiI said he Dd that
Latimer, when in the hospital asked if
he, Tuthill, was being watched. He de-
ned that meeting between him and
Mrs. Latimer in Twenty-third street
New York, told of by Latimer's sister,
was pre-arranged. The matter was eX-
planned to Latimer and they continued
friends. On the night of the shooting
u patrol wagon was sent for him, by
Mrs. Latimer, and he went 10 her home
and did what he could tor her. He said
he could not account for Latimer's s
question: rs Tuthill being watched %
1t was true, he said, that he stayed at
the Latimer home two nights after the
shooting, but he did so because none of
Latimer's brothers was able TO remain
there.
Mrs. Albert G. Latimer the widow was
recalled and asked to describe the man
she said shot her husband. She said
the intruder wore q mask so that she
could not see his face, therefore she did
not know the color of his eyes, nor
whether he had a moustache He was
of medium height. He wore the peaked
cap found in the house after the shoot
ing. The hearing went over until to-
morrow.
Latimer's will was filed today. II
disposed of property worth S19,500 With
the will was filed q codicil written on a
prescription blank while Latimer lay
on his death bed in st. Mary's hospital.
The codicil which is incoherent reads as
follows:
"Codicil: 1 desire all of my among
my children only.
(Signed) "A. c. LATIMER."
The original will gave the widow one
tenth of the property absolutely and the
income of one-third additional for life,
the remainder of the estate to go to the
children.
