That the Keokuk base ball associa-
ton may start the season of 1909 with
out any debt on it's hands and that
possible surplus might be had, 1t has
been suggested that some entertain
ment or entertainments be given for
the benefit Of this cause A number Of
fraternal organizations and clubs are
considering the proposition at the pres
ent time and 1t is expected that some
minstrel will soon be given.
The necessity for money is realized
by those who are striving to give the
city good baseball and If several of
these entertainments could be given
the finances would be greatly augment
ed
Two or three hundred dollars would
be welcome and the association could
find good place for It, Should an en-
tertainment of any kind be given for
the benefit of baseball large crowd
could be depended upon to lend sup
porting hand.

"A LACE CLUB
Candidates Record as a Soldier Ap-
peals to the Veterans Of
Dubuque.
[Gate City Special Service l

l'nLC WY opCSidl SeTNlCe.J
DUBUQUE, Oct. 15.-The veteran
soldiers of Iowa are practically unit
in their support of Major John La
cey of Oskaloosa for United States
senator to succeed Allison. Major
Lacey's record as a gallant soldier and
brave officer in the Union army
gives him a hold upon the people and
especially upon the old soldiers which
is making itself felt as the campaign
progresses. 1t is therefore fitting that
here in the CITY which the lamented
Allison made his home for so many
years, should be formed the first or
ganization of veteran soldiers to sup
port the candidacy of fellow veteran
for the senatorial succession.
Last evening a large number of vet
Grams met and amid great enthusiasm.
organized the Dubuque County Veter-
ans Lacey Club. There were speeches.
Cheers and many enthusiastic mani
festations of the high esteem in which
Major Lacey is held. Nearly everyone
present added his mite to the universal
expression of endorsement, and devo.
ton to.the Majors cause The organi.
cation was completed by the choice Of
the following officers:
President-Hon. P. w. Crawford.
Secretary-H L. Cults.
Treasurer-Peter kiene.
Notwithstanding Kiene. T. W.
Ruete, G. H. Berg. George w. Healy,
Hendy kiely, P S. Ballor, Leonard
Buehler and Adam Vogel.
After some discussion it was unani-
mously decided to invite the members
of Fitzhugh Lee Camp Spanish War
Veterans and the Sons of Veterans to
cooperate with tie members of the
Veterans Lacey Club in working for
his success. 1t was also decided to
open headquarters which will be in
charge of Secretary Cults, and where
literature. documents, etc. will be dis
seminated and arrangements made to
interest all Republicans of Dubuque
county in support Of Major Lacey.
The members of the Veterans Lacey
Club are all of them in earnest IN the
support of their comrade for the high
office for which he is a candidate.
Major Lacey and President Crawford
We're comrades and the latter is an in
innate friend and warm admirer of the
Republican candidate.
1t is hoped that this movement. so
auspiciously started will be followed
by similar organizations in other parts
of the state. Every veteran in Iowa
should take an interest in the cause
of Major Lacey, and put forth every eff
fort possible to see that the Republi-
can vote of the state is given to him
for United States Senator.

Kodo supplies this assistance just the same as
