Sunday. May the Ninth is the Date
Set Aside For the observ.

WEAR A WHITE FLOWER
This Symbol Should be Worn in Hon

The idea which originated with Mss
Anna Jarvis Of Philadelphia OF hav,r 2
the second Sunday in May observed
annually and perpetually as Mothers
Day. all over the world, has taken the
hrmest hold in the minds OF the peo-
pie anu every returning annive: sary
shows the fruits Of such a sacred OBJ
servation.
Heretofore Keokuk has been very
far behind in recognizing the annual
returning event. Last year white
thousands of people were celebrating
the day by Joining in fitting services,
and thousands Of others were showing
marked respect by wearing the white
carnation, so far as known. Mothers

have been quite generai'y explained
and there is now no doubt that the
mothers here and elsewhere will have
their innings on next Sunday.
Some well disposed people say they

er; in short they object to wearing the
outward and visible sign Of spiritual
graces." There are manifold ways
in which even such persons can keep
the day. They can write letters to
their mothers If absent from home
and II living with their mothers they
can present tokens OF filial affections
or render acceptable services ere such
opportunities become lost forever.
There should be no objection what
ever to wearing the symbol for the
day. 1t would do thousands of people
good to wear the white flower OF the
blameless life'' on one Sunday at
least, in every year, especially If 1t
should be worn as a reminder Of a
dear departed.

red part OF the money from the couple
at the police station here, but nobody

William H. Parsons, the Augusta

perience while away as follows:
From Macomb he went to Bushnell
and was having a good time with
some friends there. While in that
city he stopped at the Bushnell
House. In another room Of the hotel
the Perkins woman and William
Spfker were stopping. He was well
acquainted with both OF them and
when they took some $75 from his
pockets he thought it was only for a
joke.
Starts In Pursuit.
When 1t finally dawned upon hin
that he had been touched" he al
once became active and commenced
a search for them. He telegraphet
to Quincy and the south bound trail
was searched there without result
He then learned that the couple ha,
hired a liveryman to take them t,
Good Hope. He then took the mex
train FOR Keokuk.
Arrests Are Made.
The couple got off the train a
Hamilton and went across the rive
to Keokuk on street car. Parsons

Parsons then departed for st. Loui
on a business deal and he simpl
neglected to write to his family here
He reached here safely on the 7.3
train last evening. He states that h
was not drugged and knew when thu
money was taken but said nothin,

ali workers for improved waterways
hitching together and working with
exactly the same one end in view.
