DON'T STUDY NATIONAL AIRS
American Visitor In Great Britain Re-

Perturbed.

II wish" growled man lately back
from tour of the British Isles, that
the British bandmasters would take
course of instruction in what con-
stitutes the American national airs.
Band concerts are the rage all over
England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
During the summer season, probably
as compliment to the hordes Of
Americans who are flinging away gold
for their benefit, they present daily
what is generally dubbed American
national airs
"The majority of these bandmasters
think Dixie is the national air, be-
cause they sagely observe it is the
only one which Americans applaud.
The 'Star-Spangled Banner is dismal
and lugubrious enough under the best
of circumstances, but to hear the
Scotch bagpipes have fling at 1t is
indescribable misery. The man who
wrote the Columbia hymn would not

FOLLOWED QUARRY TO DEATH
Hawk Intermittent In Its Pursuit of
Partridge Selected for Its
Prey.

Some men working in the fields
west of Moscow village the other day
saw a hawk start a partridge in a
wheat field and attempt to cacth it.
The partridge was too speedy of wing,
though, and for short distance it
flew straight for the village, after
attempting to elude its pursuer, think
ing, perhaps, that in the habitation of
man there was protection from its
merciless foe.
The two birds flew down Main
street in front of the stores and peo-
pie on the street, but the hawk was
SO engrossed in the pursuit of its
prey that the presence Of men did not
frighten it of. The partridge flew
about the buildings on Main street and
then to the residence section.
1t was rapidly firing from its long
flight, and as the hawk, which was
stronger Of wing, seemed about to
clutch it in It's talons the partridge
attempted to fly in the window of A.
/ j. Whites residence, but the window
! was closed and the bird struck the
| glass with force enough to break its
neck and shatter the pane in many
! pieces.
The crashing glass frightened the
hawk and 1t quickly flew off, evinc.

Twenty Members Of the Keokuk Club
Invaded the Timber Near
Hamilton in Search Of
the Animals.
TO HAVE TURKEY SUPPER
Feast VIII Follow the KlI-sIander-
Gus reports Denled-List OF
Those Who Made the
Trip.

Reviving a custom which has not
been catered to for the last four years,
twenty members Of the Keokuk club
set out last night in automobiles bound
for ]. L. Roots farm five miles north
of Hamilton. The object Of their ex-
petition is to hunt down some coons
which are holding forth in the timber
near that vicinity and which are said
to be awing the inhabitants for miles
around. All the members of the party
were appropriately clad for the occa-
sion which will wind up with big
turkey supper The crowd expected
to arrive home in time for Sunday
school this morning.
The supper was doped out to be a
big affair and 1t was reported that
the medical fraternity of this city
would be on hand to receive the hunt
ers in order to relieve their suffer
ings. However those high up in the
club denied this, and say that the re-
ports started with enemies of the
organization who were very jealous
and wished to make the club men out
as COMMANDERS. Another thing which
would throw suspicion at the party is
want ad which appeared in The
Gate City, stating that three coons
had been lost or else were stolen. They
deny anything which would tend to
cast suspicion on them as accomplices
| in the crime saying that they are true
sportsmen in every sense of the word
and if they are unable to procure game
by legitimate means they will do with
out and accept the taunts of their fel-
low townsmen in good grace.
These coon hunts originated with
the old Kalawequois club, the founda-
ton Of the present Keokuk club fif-
teen years ago and the present mem.
4 bers have been so far behind the times
lately that they have not celebrated
in this line for four years. They were
always annual events and the present
clubmen, intend to make them sc
again.

ganization made up the party which

leaves being little narrower and OF
silvery color. 1t grows chiefly on
sandy or light loamy soil and throws
out numerous lateral roots at depth
of about nine inches from the sur
face OF the ground. The position of
these roots was ascertained by the
blacks by repeatedly jabbing the
points of a spear or sharpened stick
IN the sort earth at distance of about
six or eight feet from the trunk OF
the tree. The soil was then removed

feet or more and the root cut off at
either end. This was then cut up

Paying Boys to Steal, Was
Arrested by Marshal
Last Evening.

Many Sidewalks Were Torn up as Us
ual, But Nothing Desperate
Was Accomplishments
lice Notes.

With the arrest OF James w. Booth,
1912 Exchange street, by Marshal
Kesselring last evening, 1t is believed
that an organized system OF petty
thieving in that part Of the city has
been successfully brought to termin-
alton.
According to statement made by
the city marshal at III o'clock last
evening upon his return to the police
station with Booth under arrest, the
man taken into custody has been pay
ing youths very young in years to
steal for him and for which service
he paid them in very small amounts.
He stated that from knowledge he had
gained Booth had paid Charles Cham
bers ten cents to steal seven windows
from shed owned by Joseph Hau-
bert, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth
on Bank, and the boy had delivered
them to him. When Marshal Kessel-
ring visited Booths home he found
the windows in a shed on the proper
ty. and received a statement later
from Chambers which may serve to
incriminate the man. All the con-
spiracy occurred in the same block,
both Chambers and Booth living there
and the shed being situated but a
short distance from their homes.
