plans for the year.

No change has taken place in the
strike situation among the paperhang-

the Gate City last evening.
John w. Kenney. R. S. of the union

which he wished to- MAKE public
through the Gate City:
The Statement.
Keokuk, Ia, April 2, 1909.
To the public iii general:
So as to not have our position mis-
construed deem it necessary to make
statement in behalf of the painters
and paperhangers of the city of Keo-
kuk. On March 16, 1909 | mailed to
all shops a copy Of our agreement for
the ensuing year which was to take
effect April /, 1909, three of these
comics were returned signed, we will
publish the names later. The others
simply ignored us and at a meeting
held with the bosses April 1, 1909 the
said bosses refused to recognize us in
business way. At the present time
certain shops are full of children which
the bosses pay from 20 to % cents per
hour and charge for public So to 40
cents per hour for same. This We
claim is an injustice to the public who
pay big prices for inferior work, as
we'll as to the man that served his
time to learn the trade. At the pres
ent the several men are out of work
and expect to stay out until our de-
mands are granted. Hoping the gen.
eral public will cooperate with us as
they are interested as much as we are,
and wishing an early settlement,
! am very truly yours,
mo. w. KENNEY, R. S.

A DELIGHTFUL REGION
Especial Co,,esboadent)

At this time of the year the orangs
groves of California fairly rival the famed
Garden of Hesperides for beauty and
fragrance TO the dcniZen of the frost
bound regions not more than a two-days'
railroad ride removed, it would seem like
being transported to the realms of fairy
land to visit almost any one of the 5000
orchards operated by the California Fruit
Growers Exchange. Here he would find
the book Of nature opened wide and on
every page a color plate. The oranges
are now rpening, and as one peers
through the green foliage and catches
glimpses of these beautiful balls of yell
lowest gold he recalls the poetic name
by which the choicest of them are desig
mated, and ever after "Sunkist" oranges
will be among the pleasantest recollec-
lions of his trip. Those who cannot make
this journey at present can at least en-
joy the delicious 'Sunllist' fruits, fo.
both oranges and lemons of this favorite
brand are now being supplied to the
eastern markets.

N-SUNG WANTS MEN TO
TEACH BIBLE TO CHINESE.

Sung Yi-sung, Chinese student at
Wooster, has solution to the problem
presented by the killing Of Elsie Sigei
in New York and Miss Hoffman, the
actress, In Berlin, by Chinese lovers
His plan is to put young men IN
charge of missionary Sunday schools
for the Chinese, instead Of girls ike
Elsie Sigel. Here is his statement on
the situation:
eff we will stop and count how
many cases Of this kind, and even OF
worse nature. are monthly, weekly and
daily happening, we see that agitation
against whole nation on account OF
a few bad representatives Is not con-
sistent to true American spirit.
But, first of all, the general public
is being brought to see the real In
ternal condition of those districts they
call Chinatowns 1t is a shame that
in the great cities, like New York and
San Francisco, the places OF great po-
lice and detective forces, such dirty,
disgraceful and unreachable places
should exist. How ridiculous 1t is that
in China opium is being prohibited,
while in America It's still widely used.

Deadhead,s Nerve.

Oscar Asche, who, with his wife,
Miss Lily Brayton, is on his way to
Australia, his native land, which he
left eighteen years ago. remarked just
before he set sail, apropos of the slump
IN theaters, that the deadhead is a
destroyer of drama.
while was touring with GER
tain highly respected manager we
were playing at a long famous old
playhouse in an ancient town. We
had billed Macbeth for the Friday
night. but during that day the theater
was burned down. For our next week
there our chief contrived to borrow
a playhouse little way out of the
district. On reaching there to rehearse
on the Monday the manager received
letter saying that the writer had
been given two dress circle orders for
the performance of Macbeth but as
that play was not performed owing
to the destruction of the theater the
writer surmised that the manager
would remit the money value of those
orders Tit Bits.
