months old today. He was born in
this city May 6, 1909, and was bright
child, and loved by all who knew him

fellows sunshine and happiness. The
only son and idol of his parents, the
death of their little one is extremely
sad to the bereaved parents and sis
tiers, and the sympathy of all Keokuk
is extended them in their hour of
sorrowing.
Beside the parents, there survive
five sisters, Hazel r., Jessie, Bertha,
Cecil and Ethel.

Especial to The Gate City.]
CANTRIL, Iowa, July 6.-The
Fourth was celebrated here by at least
four thousand people. After the usual
parade which was decidedly creditable
for a town the size of Cantril the
crowd proceeded to the School park
where DR.. w. H. Jones welcomed the
visitors. Hon. S. E. Irish of Keosau-
qua responed in one of his happiest
efforts. Mr.. Irish kept his audience
in an uproar from start to finish. 1t
should however be said to the speak
ers credit, that he can be serious when
occasions require and is one of the
most popular orators in this section.
AT two o'clock balloon ascension
and perfect parachute leap was given
for the entertainment of the people.
After the dinner hour, E. w.
McManus of Keoknk was introduced
as the principal speaker of the day.
The young lawyer from Keokuk talked
for fully an hour and half and was
given the best of attention. He held
his audience without apparent effort
and in spite OF the patriotic distur-
Dances around him, Mr.. McManus sur
passed many orators of greater age
and experience. Turning his atten-
ton to the questions of the day the
speaker, told of the colored man who
was lost in the woods during a fearful
storm and praying to his Good Lawd
asked for little less dark and ''lit-
tie mo light continuing he said 1--WE

CAUGHT IN THE ACT
BELL BOY NABsEO WHILE ROB-
BING TELEPHONE BOOTH
AT OGLETHORPE.

Unaware OF the fact that telephone
alarm had been connected to the
money drawer of the telephone booti
at the Oglethorpe hotel, young bell
boy, named Robertson, about IS years
of age, was caught in the very act of
robbing the drawer last night by
Chief Clerk Samuels.
Several times in the past few
years the money drawer to the long
distance telephone has been robbed
at the OglethCrpe, and some time ago
it was decided to connect an alarm
with the inner lock to the money
drawer in the hope of capturing the
thief. Last night while Mr.. Saruels
was in his office the alarm went OF
1t is so arranged that the second an
effort is made to enter the inner lock
the bell rings in the office of the no
tel. AS soon as Clerk Samuels heard
the alarm he rushed to the booth and
ound young Robertson in the very
ict of prying open the lock. He had
already broken open the outer lock
and had it not been that the alarm
vas connected he would have had $25
$50 in very few minutes.
The young thief was turned over
TO the officers and is now occupying a
cell in the Gym county jail. He has
been serving in the capacity of Il bell
boy at the Oglethorpe for several
months.

READY FOR WURk ON
NEW INDUSTRIAL
SCHOOL
NEW WHARF AND TWO OR THREE
HOUSES TO BE ERECTED AT
FREoERicA-siG PECAN GROVE
FOR THE ISLAND.

Daniel Vail is at present in charge
OF the work going on at the West
Point Institute near Frederick on St
Simon island The beautiful avenue
on the river front has already been
opened up and considerable clearing
on the site where the buildings are
to be located has been completed.
Everything preparatory to the active
beginning OF work on the school is
progressing rapidly.
Some little dissatisfaction has been
expressed as to the location Of the
school, but it is only necessary to
visit the site to agree with Mrs. Dodge,
who Is at the head of the movement,
that no more favorable or beautiful
spot for such an institution could be
secured.
Mr.. Vail is now making preparati MS
for large pecan grove, which will
prove valuable feature TO the scho Il.
He also expects to nave large ar
tesian well flowing within very short
time.
Work will shortly begin on a ne
wharf as well as one or two houses
,, in which the workmen will live. Both
the wharf and the houses will prob
ably be completed before Mr.. Nc
Claim, who is to be in charge of the
school, arrives here from Rome in
May. He visited the site on the ISL
and last week and was more than
pleased with it. He stated upon his
return to the city that he was de-
lighted with the prospects of the
school and he seems determined to
! make it one of the best institutions OF
! the kind in the south.
! All preliminary arrangements fol-
| the beginning OF active work have
been completed and it will only be a
short time before the carpenters will
start the active construction of the
various buildings.
