GIVE DINNERS TO
THE CITY'S POOR
Members of the Trinity M. E. sun
day School to Forego their
Christmas Tree to Help
the Poor.

The worthy poor of this city will
be helped in many ways and by
many organizations this year. Self
sacrifice is always noble and COM
mendable whenever made for the
cause of charity and it is through a
generous spirit of giving that the
children OF the Trinity NJ E. Sunday
School will give up their regular
Christmas treat this year and instead
the funds which would be spent for
that purpose will help toward filling
baskets with good things for the I'M
fortunate ones of Keokuk.
At the exercises to be held at the
church on Friday evening. the admis-
sion to the Christmas entertainment
will cost each one a full grown pc
tato and these will be distributed over
the city with the other good things
that will be divided among those poor
whom the committee are seeking out
this week and which they will report
to those in charge of the baskets Sc
that they may be delivered to these
deserving ones.
The plan of going without their
good things which are given to the
children of Trinity each year by a
generous Santa Clause, was first be
gun last year and the deserving ones
Of the city were helped greatly and
their lives Frightened by the Christ
mas dinners which were provided fol
them through the children's generos
ity The plan worked so well that
il was decided recently to again try
i it this year.

standing Of the Clubs.
Results Last Night.

The Seibert Opera team continued
its string of victories last night on
the Olympia alleys by defeating the
Keokuk Club by the close margin of
So pins, utilizing the handicap OF IS
pins to a good advantage. There were
no record-breaking performances at
tending the match, but the bowling
was good and the match intensely
close at all times.
The club won the first game by
fifty pins and lost the second by six
pins. The third was the deciding con-
fiict and the club team won by only
three pins, thus failing to make up
the big handicap.
c. J. Smith was decidedly out OF
form last night and remained for but
the first and second games. He was
supplanted by G. w. Cox. The best
work of the evening was done by
Taber, of the Keokuk Club, who fin
ished the series with an average OF

Der Of loungers in the superior court
yesterday afternoon when called upon
20 defend himself against charges OF
fifteen-year old Mona Anthony, who
filed an information against him Tor
disturbing her peace by using abusive
language. His plea was of no avail
and the Judge handed him sentence
of fifteen days.
He gloriously upraided the methods
of modern day courts, comparing the
poor man with the man OF the al
mighty dollar. He also became re-
| minisceat and related stories OF his
past life, telling OF the riches which
were his just dues.
Sanford is one of the queerest char
| acters of the city, who has been in
weighed into court before when he got
/ into trouble either through fault of his
own or as victim Of someone else's
fury.
He is a little man and must have
made a striking appearance while at
work at the boarding house as dish
washer, with an apron tied neatly be
meath his chin, where once grew lux
uriant whiskers, which he has since
had removed. He has soft voice,
speaks low and usually has e gentle
disposition. He is so small and limo
cent looking that he might almost be
called cute.
i Always is fate against him. First
he traded horses and the new horse
fell dead few minutes after the
trade. He appealed to the court but
could get no relief there. Then some
one borrowed his fat boat and forgot
TO return it. He would file no informa
ton on account of the expense. The
present case is the first time he has
been on the opposite side of the fence
and it is evident that the long slumber
ing fury within him. after being dowr
trodden for years, was aroused and he
burst forth in wrath and used naughty
words

Question of Peace or War In Anthracite District
 Depends Upon Result
Every Effort Will Be Made
 to Preserve Peace.
But on All Sides the Feeling . is that Outcome is Doubt
 ful-Operators Well Pre- pared for a Strike-Na-
 tional Civic Committee
 Will Do All in Its Power.
Especial from United Press3

New York, March 3.-Whether there is to be peace or war in the hard coal district of Pennsylvania will be deter mined at a series of conference to be held during the next few days between the mine operators and the officials of the United Mine Workers in the off, ces of President Baer of the Reading system. President Lewis and the ex- ecutive board of the union are expect ed to arrive here to-day when the matter of renewing the agreements under which the miners have been working will be taken up. Both sides profess to be hopeful despite the strike talk that has been circulated.
 It is admitted, however, that the ac- tion of the operators in refusing in toto all of the demands of the miners before they had even been officially presented has complicated the situa- ton. The miners openly resent this action. They declare that it showed a desire to prejudice the situation.
 None of the big operators would talk to-day. They prefer to await devel- opments but they are unit in de- claring that they have never been quite so we'll fixed to handle strike. The amount of coal stored is twenty five per cent. more than they had on hand three years ago when the mine workers admitted a strike would be suicidal owing to the preparedness of the mine owners. In fact it is claim ed that no matter what the outcome of the negotiations may be, the min CTS must shut down anyhow.
 Despite the fact that no steps have been taken by either side, the National Civic Committee is to tender its ser vices to both sides in an effort to keep peace. Seth Low, it's president, is ar ranging to be present at the confer ence and do all in his power to ar range an amicable settlement of the points in dispute.
 One thing that may complicate mat ters is the belief of some of the lead ing operators that President Lewis measures in the an- thracite1 fields because of his relations with the bituminous operators. This, his friends say, is not so but there is no question that the feeling is there.
