The new Lincoln penny made its
appearance in Keokuk today and was
eagerly inspected by bank callers. The
penny has the head of Honest Abe
Lincoln on 1t with the inscriptions
In God we trust" and Liberty 1909"
On the back of the penny is the in
scriptions zone cent United States of
America and at the top &c Pluribus
Unum" The initials of Victor Dren-
ner. of New York, the designer, are
at the bottom in very small letters.
The cents we're coined at the Phila-
delphia mint but the San Francisco
money factory will soon add to the
supply. The Indian head, in use for
more than a generation on the cent
and now to be discontinued, is to
share the fate of its predecessor, the
eagle, for the reason that 1t is easily
counterfeited. Early in the present
year the government decided on a
change, but even then it was proposed
to place the head of Lincoln on sill
yer coin, probably the half dollar. Mr..
Bremen submitted his designs at
washington. The head was then as
signed to the cent.

A SUGGESTION
FOR CHAUTAUQUA
Combination Of Hamilton, Warsaw
and keokuk For Permanent
Organization.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
In view of early realization of all
of our hopes for years past-the be-
beginning on the great water power
dam from Hamilton to Keokuk-and
the possible rapid development of
keokuk, Hamilton and Warsaw be-
cause of this giant Improvement,
would it not be a good and paying
proposition for citizens of the three
cities to organize a Chautauqua asso-
citation, calling it if you please. the
Tri-City or War-Ha-Ke Chautauqua as
ISOLATION and locate the same at some
point on the trolley line about mid
way between Warsaw and Hamilton,
say at Crystal Glen or Cedar Glen pur-
chasing several hundred acres for
the purpose Fix the capital stock at
certain amount, making shares $500
or $40 each, and sell lots on the
grounds to shareholders only allow
ing them to erect summer cottage
or tent and to occupy the same,
whether during the sessions of the
Chautauqua or not so long as they
complied with the regulations of the
association. Wells would have to be
bored, of course for a plentiful sup
ply of pure water, >':ildings erected,
the grounds fenced and generally i'm
proved and beautified, to make it an
attractive resort at all times during
the summer and fall for delightful
outing 1t would be great rallying
point for education as we'll as pleas
ure and would not fail Of doing much
good as we'll as being profitable to
the stockholders.
1t also might be convenient point
for Y. NJ c. A. outings and ultimately
be the means of increasing the in
terest in that association that has
done so much for Keokuk. The writ
er would be glad to hear a free ex-
preston from the tricity readers Of
The Great City as to the feasibility
of this plan.

Still Il Continues.

Since the earliest peep of sunshine
this morning the dauntless debauch-
cry has continued and while. the plant
property itself is quite minus the abb
sence OF industry, the village is in a
hubbah of excitement and for the most
part the Americans are refraining

pipe or scrap iron has been ushered
into use as a weapon and with these
the mixed foreign population. eight
hundred strong, is menacing the peace

ment will be reached so that the plant

Extra Deputies There.

Sheriff Roland and twenty-one depu-
ties are patrolling the village of Has
co today to quell any disturbance that
might arise. Last evening the ten
hour men at the plant were chased
from the ground at the whistle blow
by an infuriated and drunken mob OF
foreigners with instructions not to re-
turn and the warning was sent forth
this morning by the leaders of the
strike that the shift men would not
be allowed to work this afternoon.
Officials at the cement plant are do
ing their best to adjust the sit,ation,
but the foreigners are hard lot to
deal with in their present condition.
A martial bugle call sounds the tap
and assembly and from every door and
shanty appears hunk" ready to do
the unreasonable beckoning of an
overweight leader There seems to
be little method in their madness and
unless they soon renounce their path

Can Your Advertising Agent
OutSell All the Rest?

This is the vital question.
Advertising agents are bad, better or best,
according to their selling ability.
Nothing else matters at all.
Advertising has only one purpose. It is
done solely to sell the goods.
If ads can be written to sell tenth more
than yours, you are wasting tenth of your
money. You are losing tenth of your sales.
Suppose you could hire the best salesman
you know at the price of tyro. Which man
would you take?
In advertising, you can do exactly that
Hgh-class agents. whether good or poor, all
charge the same commission
Ads that sell the utrnos- cost no more to
insert than ads that sell nothing at all.
Getting the best is not question of price,
but of shrewdness.
Your degree of success depends entirely on
your selection of salesnen-in-print.
We solicit business solely on the basis of
results.
We might talk age, for this agency is SO
years old.
We might talk size, for we have outgrown
all rivals.
We might talk buying power, influence.
knowledge of Mediums dozen such matters
of course.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1909-08-04

But what do they all matter when compared
with results?
Our only claim is that we outsell all others.
We have proved it to hundreds. We can prove
it to you.
This fact is so certain-so invariably true
that we handle advertising without any contract
whatever. We rely solely on results to keep it.
That is why our Copy Chief is paid $1,000
per week That is why each of our brilliant
men holds the place he holds
Working together-as they do-they can
sell more goods per dollar spent than any other
men in existence.
Suppose these claims are facts. And sup
pose they apply to you.
Suppose these men, at the same expcn.s.
could bring twice the results you are getting.
How much would it mean?
There is way to find out-easily, quickly
and certainly.
1t can be done without any commitment on
your part, and without disturbing your present
agency connections.
The answer will be clear and final It NAV
be worth thousands of dollars to you. And it
may be worth millions. That depends on the
article advertised.
If you are interested, ask us to explain the
way.

The Party Of High Wage Seekers Who
Stopped Here Monday Had a
Hard Time
There.
THEY SLEPT AT BAsTILE
Divided the Night Between the Police
Station and the Depot for
Their sIumber and
Shelter.

A small army of laborers arrived
in Quincy Monday morning and stop
ped for the rest of the day. The par
ty was the same one that arrived in
here Monday night and while in Quin-
cy they slept on depot benches and
at the police station while waiting for
the early morning train. The Quincy
Wing in speaking of them says:
Forty-one husky young farmers from
Indiana, sent out to work in the
western harvest fields by Birds
Labor agency of indianapolis, Ind,
in charge Of an excursion agent who
gave his name as Roy Walls, spent
several hours in Quincy early Mon
day morning after searching in vain
for the man who steered them here,
who had mysteriously disappeared.
The gang came in over the Wabash
from Decatur, to which point they
rode on cheap excursion tickets fur
nished by the agency. Late in the
evening, the man in charge of the
party grew restless and said he would
like to stay over until $50 Monday
morning instead of taking the 1:15
train to Keokuk to which point they
were ticketed. The majority were in
favor of getting on to their destina-
ton with unnecessary delay at this
end of the line.

They Put it t. a Vote.

well. put it to vote" is the way
Leader Walls is represented as say
ing to his proteges. Only two in the
gang were in favor of laying over,
so they all thought that settled it and
stuck around the passenger station
without saying a word until within
a half hour of the time the train was
scheduled to leave.
But Walls could not be located
Finally it was suggested that they
start up town in the hope that they
might be able to locate Walls, who
carried the transportation for the
party. 1t was while they were making
inquiries on lower Broadway that the
young fellows encountered Officers
Nicloy and Ernst, and told them of
the predicament they were in. The
policemen made a systematic search,
but the man with the tickets failed to
materialize.
In the mean time the train for Keo-
kuk had pulled out and the strangers
commenced to wonder where they
were going to sleep until the next
train was due to arrive, some of them
saving that it began to look like they
had been deserted. So the officers
took twenty-six of them TO the sta
ton, while Sergeant Harvey told
them they were welcome to camp out
on the seats in the police court room
the other members of the party say
ing they would go back to the depot
and do flop on the benches there
After everyone was sound asleep
Agent Walls showed up, but did not
tell where he had been, and did not
seem to be in very good humor
when he was told that the boys did
not feel very kindly toward him.
The entire party left Monday night
for Keokuk and nothing further has
been heard of them.
