Henrietta crosman.

Mr.. Hughes considers himself for
tunate in being able to announce
Miss Henrietta Crosman for an en-
sagement in her newest success
Sham" In this play Miss Crosman
attracted the largest and most fash
ionable audiences of the season to
Wallacks theatre, New York, where
she stayed upward of four months.
Sham" is an emphatic success, and
in it's principal role, that of katherine
Van Ripper, Miss Crosman has scored
one of the notable triumphs of her
career. All her wonderful freshness.
buoyancy, charm, impetuosity and
magnetism find delightful expression
in this play, and the company with
which she is surrounded is one of the
sort that may be called perfect.
Sham" is primarily comedy, with
bright lines, amusing situations and
humorous incidents, but it has an I'M
dercurrent of seriousness, with mo-
ments of pathos and opportunities for
Miss Crosman to rise to the very
heights of feminine emotion.

The greatest sin OF Ksokuk," said
Evangelist VIM. ]. Lockhart last night,
is not drunkenness, it is not gamb-
ling, nor any of the commonly de-
nounced- forms Of iniquity but IL is a
sin back of all these others, a sin
which the world for 1000 years has
been committing, the sin of Judas
Iscariot tie sin of Pontius PLATE, the
sin of the Jerusalem mob, the great
sin is the rejection of Jesus Christ.

II Jesus came here would find no well
come for him for they have no place
for him in taeir thoughts and in
their life. Betllahem had no room for
him in the inn and Keokuk's great
sin is the indifference to the claims

have admired your city pride. You
would like to have clean town and be
known as religious and cultured
city Your fine churches and public
buildings show this. The kind court
esy of The Gate City and Constitution
Democrat which we appreciate reflects
the sentiment of the people which
shows they want to give support to
religious work, but why so many evil
dences of iniquity? My friends, the
fountain source of all the trouble lies
In the Indifference to the cause OF
Christ. Church membership and for
nal worship have been substituted for
Christian service and close walk with
Christ, Those outside the churches
give little attention to the call of
Christ and carelessly and indifferently
reject his call I tell you the big sin
is the rejection Of the son of God. 1t
Is at the base of every other form OF
sin.
It is not popular thing to preach
the truth. The prophets were stoned
for telling the people OF their sin.
John the Baptist was beheaded, the
Christ himself was crucified and all
Of the Apostles save John. lost their
lives for preaching the truth. But my
friends, Id rather be right than pop
ular. God knows there is too little OF
the old time preaching such as Jonah
gave the Ninevites which brought
them to sackclotl and ashes, such as
John the Baptis. gave old King Herod,
and Peter pounded into the crowd on
the day of Pentecost. If Paul stood
in Keokuk think his great message
would be: Awake thou that sleep
est and arise from the dead" We
are dead spiritually speaking. The
great sin of indifference has robbed
the church of its power and is sending
to eternity without hope, the many
unsaved.
Tonight Messrs. Laube-sheimer and
Mr.. Limit will appear in special due.
and Evangelist Lockhart will speak on
the subject of Heaven"

sHULTz AS ATTORNEY
Junk Dealer Defended His Daughter
When Attorney Withdrew
M From case-other Po-
lice News.

Keokuk attorneys have a worthy
rival in Harry Shultz, the junk dealer,
for yesterday afternoon he undertook
the task Of defending his daughter
Mary on the charge of disturbing the
peace. Those present in the court
room say his closing argument was a
strong one, but this did not deter
Judge Mcnamara from imposing fine
of $50 and costs upon Mary for her
part in the Wells school affair.
Before the case was brought up for
trial in the afternoon Attorney Ken
drick made an effort to induce Shultz
to have the girl plead guilty to the
charge and escape by having only to
pay costs. Several other arrange
ments were sought by the attorney,
but none Of them appealed to Shultz.
From the junk dealers talk 1t would
appear that there is something in
his religion against pleading guilty
to charge, at least that seems
to be his translation of it. Finally
Kendrick withdrew from the case and
Schultz decided to defend himself.
City Attorney Marshall conducted
the prosecution and three witnesses
were called, they being Principal
Stevens, Janitor Carnihan and Officer
Owen Real.
Mary Shultz was put on the land
by the defense and the Shultz family
seemed to be of the opinion that they
could stand on the street, designated
as public property and do what they
wished Shultzs argument was quite
a lengthy one, but carried little or no
weight.

peal to the district cort.

This decision has been arrived at by
Governor Hughes after a careful re-
view of the field and an Interpretation
of the several decisions of the appel

that Senator Agnew would introduce a

state from printing any informal ton
about the racetracks. the entries, jock
eys, weights or odds. The bill would

tracks. He even limited that he had
been called off by the occupant of the

figure in future events and some great
racing can be expected each Sunday.
1t is fitting that the new track
should be at San Jose, which has al
ways been the greatest wheeling center
in the state. This little city has fur
nished some of the greatest riders in
the country, chief of whom is Floyd
Mcfarland. the present champion, and
Hardy Downing, a most successful
rider on eastern tracks a few years
ago.
