"CAP" ANGEL is
WE'LL THOUGHT OF
Manager of Hamilton Lumber Com.
pany Is a Former Resident of
This City.

The Hamilton Press in a write-up
of the Hamilton Lumber company.
gives the following nice notice to Man
ager George w. Angel, formerly of
keokuk:
The real power behind the throne is
the manager and estimator. Mr..
George w. Angel Mr. Angel who,
by the way. is just at the beginning of
his career as lumberman, being bare
ly thirty-four years of age. notwith-
standing lis gray hair and other ma
ture looks, first began working in the
lumber yard OF S. S. & S. Carter when
but mere boy. his first job being
that of water carrier. Later on he was
employed as car loader and gradually
worked himself up until he became a
foreman of the yards. He remained
with the Carter firm until they sold
out to the Keokuk Lumber company.
when he became foreman of the yard
for the latter firm His work under the
two firms covered a period Of fifteen
years.
But "all work and no play makes
Cap dull boy" and realizing this
fact Mr.. Angel finds time to take an
active part in athletic sports. having
led the baseball team here since be-
coming resident of the city. Last
year he was captain of the local nine
which won the pennant in the Com
mercial league his hitting and first base
play contributing largely to the high
honors won by the team. His leader
ship has earned him the title of
Cap" by which name he is more
known. He is also an ex-
pert swimmer, although baseball is his
hobby in the sport line.
There is at least three things you
will find the Captain ready to do:
Sell lumber, play BASEBALL and boost

of mortal man?

WHEN LINCOLN
WAS IN BURLINGTON
Made an Address There on October 9,
1858, and was Heard by
Large Crowd.

Burlington Gazette: AS the day
which marks the hundredth anniver-
sary of his birth draws near, interest
in Abraham Lincoln and the stirring
events which marked his life re-
ceives fresh impetus
Older citizens remember the event,
but how many of the younger genera
tions know and realize that the great
President once spoke in Burlington
during the tumultuous days which
that an account of his visit here
ers, the files of the morning paper
(the Gazette's files of that time hav-
ing been destroyed by fre) at the
public library were consulted, and in
the issue of Monday, October II,
1858, the following account of Mr..
Lincoln's visit and speech here on
October of that year was found:
Saturday evening Grimes Hall was
filled to its capacity by citizens Of
Burlington and vicinity for the pur-
pose of listening to speech from
Mr. Lincoln. the man who all Re-
publicans desire and a great many
are very certain will succeed Judge
Douglas as senator from the state of
Illinois. So great is the sympathy
felt here in the spirited canvas in
Illinois and so high is the opinion
entertained of the ability of Mr.. Lin
coin as a speaker that a very short
notice brought together from twelve
to fifteen hundred ladies and gentle
men,
High, however, as was the public
expectation, and much as was antici-
pated, h in his address of two hours
fully came up to the standard that
had been erected 1t was logical
discourse, replete with sound argu-
ment, clear. concise and vigorous,
earnest, impassioned and eloquent.
Those who heard recognized in him
man fully able to cope with the
Little Giant anywhere, and altogether
worthy to succeed him.
I'VE regret exceedingly that 1t is
not in our power to report his speech
in full this morning. We know that
we could have rendered no more ac
ceptable service to our readers. But
it is not in our power.
Mr. Lincoln appeared Saturday
evening fresh and vigorous. There
was nothing in his voice, manner and
appearance to show the arduous labor
of the past two Notwithstanding to
show that the immense labors of the
canvas had worn on him in the least.
In this respect, he has altogether the
of Douglas, whose voice
is cracked and husky temper soured,
and general appearance denoting ex-
haustion.
Mr.. Lincoln remained in the city
at the Barrett House, and gees, we
believe, to Monmouth To-Day"

Warmly AppIauded.

Evans evidently voiced the feelings
OF a large neutral party. for he receiy-
ed hearty applause. He had taken the
labor in the midst, of speech by
President Walker of the Illinois dis
trict, to correct a statement that
Walker had imputed to him. the sense
OF which was that he had told Walker
that National President Lewis had IN
folded to him q plan by which he ex-
pected to be able to coerce the repre-
sentative of the Illinois miners into
supporting the policy of the national
president,
The committee on officers reports
had submitted report indorsins
Lewis action in several matters. and
Walker was speaking in opposition to
the report when Evans interrupted
him with his plea for peace.

tried in Esquire Hale's court in this
city last Wednesday and convicted on
charge of petit larceny and sent to
Jail for thirty days. Prosecuting Attor-
ney Charles Yant prosecuted and At.

Greer woman hurriedly left the depot,
going UP town, and Mrs. McCulloch
after seeing her friend aboard the
train. returned for her purse. 1t was
gone. She followed the Greer woman
to Davidson's restaurant Miss Greer
denied knowing anything about the
loss but was excited and left the room
and never returned for the lunch she
had ordered. The glove and purse
were found where Miss Greer had been
but the money was still missing. From
the restaurant, the Greer woman went
to the south part of town where she
was seen to hand something to Frank

The Ground Hog Will Come Out To-
morrow Morning and Make
an Investigation of
Weather.
FoRETELLs THE FUTURE
If the Sun Shines There Will be six
Weeks More Of Winter, But if
Cloudy, Winter is
Over.

Tomorrow will be Ground Hog day
and while it is not national or state
holiday. it is one of great Importance
to everyone and is observed faith
fully by many people.
Upon the second day of February
each year, the ground hog comes out
of his hole after alternating for the
winter. No matter what the weather
may be. the hog comes out on that
day and takes a look at the weather,
just like a farmer gazing at the sky
the day before the alfalfa harvest is
to begin.
If the hog sees his shadow, he sour
ries back to his hole, being afraid and
gets so scared that he stays inside for
six weeks more. but if he does not see
his shadow, he remains out. Natuar-
ally ground hog would not stay out
of doors during the winter time and
winter is over if the hog stays out.

Sun Is Important.

AS hog cannot see his shadow
unless the sun is shining, the sun has
as much to do with it as the hog has
and even if the hog would not come
out, the great American public can
forecast the balance of the season by
watching the sun. If it shines tomor-
row, winter will last for six weeks
more. If the sun does not shine, win
ter is over.
Although there are some skept;ca:
people and knockers who do not have
any faith in the ground hog, there are
many others who do believe in him and
he has larger following than the
weather bureau.
Although the national weather bur
reau does not tell all of its secret, it
is a well-known fact that number of
ground hogs are kept in the Office at
Washington and their actions on Feb
ruary are carefully noted each year.
