| 4 TRUE CHRISTIAN
Death Of Venerable Old Gentleman At

25 Years.
WAS BORN IN GERMANY
/, ,v.d in the OLD Country During the
Greater Part Of His Time-ls
Survived by Sister and
TWO Brothers.

Yesterday afternoon at 400 o'clock
At the family residence, 1909 Ex-
change street, occurred the death Of
George Frederick Kamuf, a citizen Of
Keokuk advanced in years and es.
toemed by a host of friends ard ac-
quaintances.
The death of this venerable old
gentleman was caused by old age, for
/ beng nearly eighty-two years of age
no was unable to keep up any longer,
and after living a good christian life
he was called to the great beyond amid
the sorrow of his aged sister and
brothers and other relatives.
Although on the decline for some
time he had not been abed for any
great length of time and was up and
around not more than week ago. He
enjoyed fairly good health and was
one to keep up until the last

bis religious duties. He was mem

only week ago last Sunday was

In the best of health then.
George Frederick kamuf was born in
Rettingheim, Baden. Germany, Feb
ruary 9, 1897. He lived in the old
country for the great part of his life,
coming to America in 1882. After
short time in this country he moved to
Keokuk and had lived here for about
twenty-five years. While here he liv-
ed with his sister, MIRA Louisa Schenk
/ 1863 Exchange. He remained single
during his entire life.
The surviving relatives are his sis
ter, Mrs Louisa Schenk and two broth
er Frank Kamuf OF Keokuk and
Jacob Kamuf of Cincinnati.

dub among them. Many OF them are
so good that they have been holding
out for more salary but when the in
crease is not forthcoming, it is be-
lieved they will graciously accept the
figures presented by the managers.
And when the season opens and the
managers have sorted out this array
of wonderful talent in catches of
twelve or thirteen, comprising the diff
ferent clubs in the league. it is hard to
foretell which will have the advantage
Instead for forecasting finish with
the teams strung along the percentage
column from 500 down to 800, would
it not be more sensible to have them
all tied for first place. All the Ga
zette can see at the present time. if
there is any merit to the mid-winter
dope, is tie games every day called by
nothing. The only way any club can
win pennant Is to have a game for
feited to them. The real struggle will
lie between the managers in shaping
the behavior of their players towards
the umpires to keep the arbiters from
FORGETTING games to their opponents. 1t
looks like promising season. The
only regret is that all the players that
have been signed cannot lie kept.
They are all so good that it seems
shame to let them go when the order
comes to trim the teams to the reg
ulation number The castoffs, how
ever, will have the consolation of
knowing that the big leagues will snap
them up.
Bill Annis, who was with Wichita
last will wear a Des Moines uni
form next season. Bill is one of the
best shortstops in the business and
will take great delight in playing his
best when the Des Moines club APP
pears in his old town next season.
Pitcher Keys, with Quincy last
year, but now belonging to Des
Moines. says he will only play there
until the first of August as he intends
leaving for his Rosebud farm on that
date.

MAY DEFEAT CANNON
INSURGENT REPUBLICANS WILL
 VOTE FOR CLARK.
They are Serious in Their Purpose to Join With Democrats Unless the Majority Will Make
 Terms.

Washington, March S.-(Special. J. Most of the Southern Democrats have gone to their homes to spend few days before returning for the extra session of Congress, which begins Mon- day next, but among those now here the much talked of combination be- tween, the House Democrats and Re- publican insurgents to bring about the election of Murder. of Kansas. or some other "kicking" Republican as Speaker over Cannon does not seem to be feas- ible or likely to occur.
 For instance, Representative Macon of Kansas said today: T am perfect iy willing to join hands with suff- cient number of Republicans to break the power of the Speaker and the Rules Committee, but will not vote for Mur- der, or any other Republican for speak er I intend to cast my vote for ClarK of Missouri for presiding officer. no matter what combination may be form ed. If the insurgent Republicans are anxious to defeat Cannon they can do so by uniting with the Democrats and electing Clark.
 The Republican insurgents are cer. tainly organizing and are full Of fght but they do not seem to be able at this writing to show strength enough to defeat Cannon.
