THE CURTIS STATUE
WILL REMAIN
City Council Last Evening Decided
Not to Move the
MnnunnAnk

The city council voted unanimously
last evening not to make change in
the location of the Curtis statue at
Third and Main street, turning down to
foolish proposition of commencing to
change its location, for If it were once
moved, it would be an easy matter to
have it changed again every few years.
When the matter first came up, The
Gate City was the only Keokuk news
paper which contained any comment
On the question and the only comment
was unfavorable to the scheme.
Both OF the G. A. R. posts of the city
sent protests to the council and at the
meeting last evening D. : Hamill, A.
j. Matthias. D. w. McElroy and S. H.
Johnston from Terrence Post were
present and ready to address the coun-
ell On the subject
After the council had decided not to
move the statue, Major ID. b. Hamill
thanked them in behalf of the veterans
of tle city and the citizens. He said
that the spot where tnc statue stood
was the spot where Col Curtis had re-
viewed the troops and where the gal
liant Iowa soldiers paraded. 1T was here
that the First, Second, Third, Fourth,
Fifth, Nineteenth and Tilirtieth Iowa
Infantry and the First and Third Iowa
Cavalry had been reviewed by Col.
Curtis and the stateu should remain at
this spot
The action of the coun in refusing
to move the statue, meets with the APP
prevail of great majority of the citi-
zens.

DIPLOMATIC CORPS "UP IN AIR"
Won't Attend inaugural BalI-"Don't
Know What to Wear

Washington, d. c., : eb. 26.-Sur-
prise is expressed here over the re-
pert that the members OF the diplo-
matte corps VIII not attend the inau
gural ball. When diplomat is asked
if he is going he either shrugs his
shoulders and says he has not made
up his mind or openly avows his in
tention OF not attending.
Invitations are sent all the chiefs of
missions, ambassadors and ministers
they being asked as guests Of the ma
ton. The ball is given in compliment
to the new president, and yet, in spite
of these facts, it appears tnat these
especially invited guests are not
going
Another reason is that the diplomats
have heard of the ball not as a So
ciaI feature the Inauguration, but
as a great crush, and they have mis-
taken idea that it is only for "the
masses"

determination TO block any change
whatever in the present law except a
referendum by counties providing for
a license choice.
However, decided progress had been
made during the day toward getting
