BASKET BALL AT
"Y" GYMNASIUM
Carthage and keokuk will Clash this
Evening in What Promises to be
the Best Contest of the Year.

With the basket ball season draw
ing to close the Keokuk high school
team. which has met defeat from but
one team during the season, will clash
this evening at the Y. NJ. G. A. gym
nasium with the fast Carthage nigh
school team in what promises to be
the best game of the year.
While reports preceding the coming
of the Carthage quinete are to the
effect that the visitors are fast, keo.
kuk is not in the least bit worried
and a victory is looked to.
Carthage and Keokuk have been
rivals on the athletic field, both out
door and indoor for number OF years
and the supremacy has not yet been
settled. The odds are strongly IN
favor of Keokuk at basket ball, but
there is no certainty in the result.
Ottumwa is the only team that has
been too strong for the local aggrega
tion and that quinete Will probably DC
given the title of state champion.
Keokuk has defeated the best in
this vicinity, including Mt. Pleasant
On. their home grounds.
Keokuk lovers of the sport should
turn out this evening and give the
local management large crowd ano
further the sport in the city
c. King, Weismann, Duncan, k1ed

DISAPPEARS, IT'S ECZEMA
How to Tell Whether Skin affection
Is an Inherited Blood Dis
ease or Not.

Sometimes it is hard to determine
whether skin affection is a sign of
blood disorder or simply a form of
eczema. Even physicians are often
puzzled in their diagnosis. The best
way for any one afflicted is to go to
Wilkinson & Co., or any good druggist
who handles pure drugs and obtain 80
cents worth of polsam. Apply this,
and if the itching stops at once and
the trouble is cured in few days it
may be set down as having been &c
zema, as this is the way polsam acts
in the worst cases of eczema, and in
curing acne, herpes, blotches, letter
piles, salt rheum rash, barbor's and
other forms OF itch. scaly scalp, and all
surface skin affections

Mr.. Boyd Talks.

Mr.. Boyd wanted broad-minded
preacher, one that was not seeped in
the Isms" and dogmas of his own
doctrine. One who realizes that he is
engaged in great work and who acts
accordingly: a pastor who is able on
Sunday to draw one away from the
mercenary thoughts of the world, and
lead him to that which is nobler,
grander, and better The preachers
dress the vineyards of which the lay
men are the vines.
Rev J. Wesley Potter, the next
speaker, said that as keeper of the
vineyard it was his pleasant duty to
give the members a good trimming.
That his idea of a good layman was
one who was religious. Not one of
those goody-goody, wishy-washy, long
faced type, but a sturdy manly one.
That he should have conservative
progress, his eyes should be wide open
for opportunities, but that he must
be conservative and careful He
should have broad sympathies and be
in love with all men, and loyal to his
| own church.
y. w. McElroy's remarks were
brief but to the point. He said that
the preachers main quality should be
i faithfulness to his duties. Men must
be reused UP and they are the ones
! to do it. Then it should be followed
up by strong persona appeal to the
peoples feelings.
/ Hon. John E. Craig then introduced
the last speaker of the evening. DR.
F. NJ Fuller. DR.. Fuller said that We
expect preachers to be just what theS
expect " to be. Their sermons
sometimes were extemporaneous and
could not therefore be as effective as
prepared one. His ideal preacher
should be man in the truest sense o.

of the evening, Rev H. B. Foster.
Rev. Foster in a few we'll chosen
words showed what was expected OF

he should be reliable, man on whom
you could always depend, who would
do what ne was told, what was expect
ed of him, under all circumstances
He said that the ideal layman should

tions. All those whose aim it was tt

Destructive lire at Waynesboro.

Last Sunday fire of unknown origin
destroyed the large warehouse of j. w.
Ellison, Son & Co., of Waynesboro,
and for time it was feared that other
buildings in the immediate neighbo
hood would also go. The local fire
company aided by Basic City, worked
so well that the flames were gradually
gotten under control, though not until
damage to adjoining buildings had
been sustained. The Staunton fire de-
partment was called on, but before an
engine and train could be gotten ready,
notice came that they would not be
needed. Mr.. Ellison stated that his
loss would be between SIS, 900 and S20,-
600; with about S10,O 900 insurance. For
tunately for the Lambert Furniture
Co., one of the largest and best known
in this section, the flames were checked
before they extended across the street.
