SEVEN SUNDAYS
With NO rain
That is What May be Expected Be-
cause There Were no Rain
Drops in the Air on
Easter Day.
MARCH LION CAME BACK
He HowIed Most Of the Day and
Frightened the Easter Rabbit
and Tilted the Easter
Bonnet.

Keokuk will enjoy at least seven
nice Sundays now, for it did not rain
yesterday There is an old saying that
if it rains on Easter, It will rain on
the next seven Sundays.
Easter was not as pleasant a day as
it might have been on account OF the
wind, for the March lion who disap-
peared mysteriously some time last
month just about the time Ex-presi-
dent Roosevelt set sail came stink
ing back and was bowling Justify all
day Easter and the night before, send
II ing tremors of error through the Eas-
ter rabbit and making 1t hard for the
Easter bonnet to stay straight.
But the wind of Sunday was com
ing from the south and there was a
touch and scent of spring in the blasts.
Nearly all day long the wind blew at
a rather uncomfortable rate of speed
and some timid people would not have
/ been surprised had a cyclone appear
ed in the sky for the wind was strong
at times and made windows rattle
and trees bow low.
Bushes and trees made deep salams,
signs creaked and shutters beat tat
too as the gale played abou.. Whirl-
ing dust filed the streets and the citi-
zens who wore glasses was t, e only
one who could see things as they real
Ily were.
AT sunset the wind had commenced
to subside and when darkness settled
there was not enough wind to frighten
kstydid. had 1t been out of doors
A good many small branches were
blown from the shade trees and loose
ehingles were flying from the old barn
BITS OF pape- went flying through the
air and the chief sport of the day was
watching red faced men chase ar
elusive derby down the sidewalk.
Warm Weather Now.
The weather generally become:
warmer after Easter and nice day:
can be expected from now on.
Nobody can complain of the wealth
Ier of the past winter and early sprinE
for 1t has been a mild season, viii
little snow and but few days of shiv
ers. The springtime is coming nov
and the mercury will be on the tol
side Of the red mark hereafter.
The blackbirds are here, which is
sign that warm weather is in th'
neighborhood and the evenings are be
coming longer. Perhaps the last COLI
day has been experienced and we ma.
ing enjoy life from now on.

KEOKUK MOTOR
MAN AT PEORIA
Captain A. c. Decker Was Visitor
of the Ivy Club Last Week
and Well Enter
tanned.
ITINERARY OF CRUISE
Programs Of the Trip Have Been
Received Here and Pageant
VIII Stop at This
Place.

Vice Commodore A. c. Decker of the
turning from a business trip east
stopped over in Peoria for night and
was a guest of the members of the
IVY club of that city, which club has
the name Of knowing how to treat all
guests from other clubs, most royalty.
Captain Decker was much impress
ed with the way the Ivy's do things
and spoke highly today of the enthu-
elastic spirit of the Peoria motor boat
men with regards to their club which
is strong one and has one of the pref
test club houses in the west and any
number of power boats.
Concerning Captain Decker's visit
Ito Peoria, the Peoria evening Journal
OF one of last weeks issues has the fol-
lowing to say:
Commodore A. G. Decker of the
Gate City Yacht club of Keokuk, Ia,
was in the city this morning and was
entertained by Commodore Tom Webb
of the Illinois Valley Yacht Club. Mr..
Decker came to Peoria to pave the
way for the coming of delegation of
boat enthusiasts who are contemplat-
in attending Peorias coming boat re-
gatta, which will be held here this
coming summer.
| Mr.. Decker is the typical river man
and when seen this morning at the
iLud hotel expressed himself freely
concerning the facilities for holding a
regatta at Peoria. He thought they
were great and announced that on his
return to the Gate City he would use
every effort to get a number of keo
kuk boats into the regatta He said
that Peoria could count on one any
way. That is his own boat, the WV
IAN, handsome craft named after
his daughter.
During his stay in the city. Com
modore Webb entertained Mr.. Decker
and took him around the city and VI
the river road in his automobile
Great interest is being aroused in the
coming regatta and many inquiries are
being received. Outsiders are jus
awakening to the fact that Peoria has
one of the best river courses in the
country to hold an event like thai
contemplated and there is every rea
son to believe that the one held here
this year will be the largest in the his
tory of the city

pointive officers will hold over until
the controversy is settled.
But If Off is sworn in and attempts
to, & does take the chair, interesting
developments may take place.
People are wondering, in case he
takes the chair. if he will resign as
alderman from the Fourth ward, hav-
ing another year yet to serve there.
1t is not likely that ne will, for if he
did and a recount SHOULD unseat him,
he would be clear out of office. He
will probably hang onto both posi-
ton as long as he can and not give up
either, until sure Of holding one.
The democratic majority was in Sc
cret caucus most of today, fixing up
the slate for city officials and talk
ing over the plans for this evening.
There will probably be not over one
or two changes made In the city off,
Gals, If any.
The mayor has the appointment OF
the police but that matter does not
come up until the May meeting. At
tonight's meeting the city clerk, clerk
of superior court, city engineer, col
lector attorney and other officials are
appointed by the council
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1909-04-12
seems to be no legal way to seat any
one as mayor this evening. There
are such things though as doing a
thing Illegally
The Recount Petition.

Inc nQClce OIL contest nleal by Louis I
Sterne on Friday, according to the /
views of some people, makes enough |
claims to throw out the election in ev-
cry ward There are many people who |
read the petition as published in these
columns, who say that there was not
enough cause shown for a recount, |
and that the charges made give no
real cause for recount.
1t Is true that no direct charges
were made which show that the con-
testants have any claims that the
count was incorrect, the petition hav-
ing been drawn up carefully so that
no hint at fraud should be in it.
The prime reason for asking for a
recount, is the closeness of the result
as shown on the face of the returns.
If the majority had been % instead
of 3, there would have been no contest.
The petition must show some reason
fer asking for a recount OF the votes
and it was thought best to merely
make the claims which are set forth
in the petition.
The law requires that a petition be
filed and that reasons be given for
asking for recount. A slip of paper
reading 'aThe election Was SO close
that recount is asked for would not
have been sufficient, but would have
carried out the idea just as well as
the one which was filed. 1t was nee
essary to give some claims for asking
for recount and for that reason the
| petition was made so lengthy and the
charges contained in 1t were made.
There is no desire on the part of
the contestants to have any wards
thrown out, or the whole election de-
clared void on account of the many ir-
Irregularities which turned up, the main
thing being for a correct and &C
curate recount of the ballots.
If a recount can be secured, without
filing any claims of fraud, it will be
so much the better, for there Is no
use of bringing that phase of the sub
iect into the controversy if it can be
avoided.
The question which puzzles the peo-
pie the most is why the democrats are
resisting a recount; why they should
not welcome one and wish fair
count; why they should not come for
ward and say Certainly, let's have a
recount. let's be fair and square. "
But even with head start of votes,
they are very loath to have recount.
They do not want to take any chances
whatever and insist that Off was elect
ed by 8 votes and should be seated as
mayor without regard to the correct
count.

Claimed to Be a Mason and Odd Eel

Burlington Gazette: With his knowl-
edge of the signs of the Masonic ar
der and the Odd Fellows lodge, Louis
Davis tramp millright, attempted
tt pass himself off as member Of
both orders. but his bluff was called
yesterday by L. Van Horn OF Let's,
Ia. In this city Davis bumped Van
Horn for the price of meal on the
strength OF his lodge affiliations Van
Horn. whine not Wishing to refuse 10
aid brother Mason or Odd Fellow
put Davis to the test and he fell down.
Van Horn caused his arrest,
Davis was arraigned this morning
in the police court and pleaded guilty
TO the charge of fraud He admitted
that he was neither an Odd Fellow
nor a Mason. He said he found the
books containing the secret work of
each order and studied up on il AS
the books are in cipher he could only
get a part of the meaning and the re-
mainder he supplied from his own
brain. but the result was such a
tangled mess that fraud was easily
discovered
Davis also admitted that the re-
ceipts which he displayed showing the
lodge dues were paid up to 1910 were
found. They showed that he belonged
to the lodges at Centralia, H. but il
is likely that his name is not Davis
his home is not Centralia He was

For more than 80 years it has been

Inflammation, liberation, local weak

plan Today Was to Swear In Charles
OF as Mayor Without His Hav-
ing Any Certificate of
Election.
MANDAMUs PROCEEDINGS
Nothing Doing in That Case Which
Cannot Come up Until the
May Term of the Dis
trlct Court.

Charles Off will preside at the first
meeting of the new council this even
ing. At least that is the plan OF the
democrats who were figuring today
m swearing him in as mayor whether
be had any certificate of election or
not and hosting him into the mayors
chair. without a recount of the ballots.
If this is done, the outcome is prob
lematical. Any act he does would be
unofficial and complications would
arise. The city treasurer would be
served with notice not to honor any
CITY warrants signed by him. If he
takes the chair without a certificate
Of election, the republican aldermen
would probably walk out of the coun-
ell leaving seven democrats and the
mayor to run things to suit them
selves
Off has not received his certificate
Of election yet, the same being sup
posed to be in the pocket of the retir-
ing mayor, WE. Strimback. The
mandamus proceedings cannot come
I'D until the May term of the district
court and therefore if the retiring may
or has the certificate, he cannot be
compelled to turn it over before that
time.
The securing of change OF venue
Saturday morning in the mandamus
case. brought that matter to a close
until next month. The case was trans
ferred to the District court, but as
court is being held at Fort Madison,
nothing could be done and the case
must wait its turn until Bank comes
4 As court was being held at Fort
Madison, he could not hold 1t in Keo-
kuk and the matter could not be taken
: up there any more than it could have
been taken over to Carthage or up to
Mount Pleasant.
The opposition was thwarted in get
/ ting the certificate into Offs hands
today by the mandamus proceedings
and today 1t looked as though there
were but two ways to get it before the
! council meeting this evening; one be-
Ing to take 1t by force from Strimback
and the other to have him hand 1t over
voluntarily, neither of which plans
could be worked out.
Council Meets Tonight.
Tonight is the time for the meet
Ing of the new council.
The old council is to meet first
and wind up its business for the fis

the new council will go into session.
That will be when the critical time
Will come. The great question is
whether Off will take charge Of

If Strimback holds over, there vii
be no excitement, for the council
