knock and a boost there the other

by Rev. Henry F. Forkenbrock, pastor
OF St Mary's Catholic church, who at
the 10 o'clock mass spoke against the
famous baseball evangelist.
The boost was given by F. A. Mos

~ of the work of Sunday at the union
meeting of the First Congregational
church, declaring him to be the great
est evangelist the world has seen since
the days Of Dwight l.. Moody. A big
congregation greeted the editor, who
spoke in the highest terms of Sunday
and the good work he is accomplish

In announcing the mission to be
held at his church in January by two
Franciscan fathers, Father Forken-
brock took occasion to advise his peo

the great comedy, Take Me Out to
the Ball Came
Our friend Blink is a baseball bug
and devotee of the sport One day
ne f1nds he will have time in the af-
ternoon to visit the ball park. and
from that moment until noon he is in
an excited fever, refusing to talk any-
thing but baseball to the business men
who call on him. When the clock
strikes twelve Blink SEXES his hat,
slams down his desk and tells his
stenographer that he is gone for the
day.
Blink hurries home and gets his
wife busy with dinner. She Is curious
to know why he is ia such a hurry and
finally, between bites, he tells her
he is going to the ball game. Fanny
expresses her desire to go, also, and
insists On her husband waiting for her
to dress.
Minutes crawl by like hours to Blink
as his wife arrays herself for the game
and when she finally appears, leading
Jack, the bull pup, he seizes her by
the arm and drags her out of the
house.
They board car, but the conductor
objects to the dog. Fanny pushes the
conductor into a corner, and Jack
makes short work of the seat hogs.
However, the ball park is reached
at last, and Blink goes to get the
tickets When he comes back with
the necessary paper he is in such a
hurry and so happily excited as to
grab the arm of another woman, a
large, fat, colored nanny" and does
not discover his mistake until they are
inside.
Now he has to buy another ticket
and after he has located Fanny and
the dog they hurry into the gate and

The game is an exciting one, but
not for Fanny She sees nothing In

Goodbye to street Fairs.

1t is believed that Keokuk will do
well to allow celebration to slip by
this year and unite in an extra effort
to give visitors something new next
year. James Cameron mentioned
races at the fair grounds with few
automobiles in the way of excitement
and believed that such program
could be worked out for next year
keokuk has been holding street
fairs for the last twelve years and
people have gradually grown tired of
them. For this reason, as we'll as the
fact that they no longer are celebra-
tons of the present day it is believed
that this city has said goodbye to
them forever, and that last years
fall celebration will be the last to
take the form of street carnival.

Small Attendance at Meeting in su.
perlor Court Room Last Night
Alone Expressed Attitude
Towards It.
DECIDED TO DROP IT
:. Was concensus Of Opinion that It
Was Too Late to Even Think Of
Three Days Amusement
Program.

That Keokuk merchants and bust
ness men do not want free fall
celebration nor a celebration of any
kind this year could not have been
voiced in a more certain tone than by
the attendance alone, at the meeting
held in the superior court room last
evening. The Commercial club had
sent out letters to a hundred or more
business men whom they thought
would be interested in discussion
of the matter. The response was
very limited. There were about four
merchants. four newspaper men and
a half dozen others at the meeting
and it can hardly be said that any one
there strongly favored a celebration
of any kind.
Before the meeting adjourned and
following quite a general discussion
OF the subject in which everyone en-
tered, motion was made by T. N.
Conner, seconded by ]. G. Schell,
that 1t be the sense of the meeting
that no celebration be held. This no.
ton was carried without opposition
from anyone.

with w. r. C. Kendrick secretary.

Kendrick in which 1t was stated that
John ]. Frisbee, an aviator we'll
known in the east, would come for a
two days exhibition for $1,000, max
ing two ascensions daily IL necessary.
Following the reading of this let
ter Mr.. We'll asked for the opinions of
nearly everyone present Mr.. Con-
ner believed that II the merchant was
to be benefited one day celebration
would not be sufficient, but that 1t
should be three days at least. He be-
heFeo, however, That the time for
planning such an affair for this year
was over and was not in favor of a
celebration. Mr.. Schell and also Mr.
schouten and Mr.. Nagel believed that
the attendance at the meeting alone
and the fact that little interest was
manifested would not warrant any
further action.

1146 IN PLOT TO KILL
KINGS OF PORTUGAL
Prisoner Confesses Conspiracy in
Carlos Death-Next Blow to Be
Aimed at Manuel.

Lisbon, Spain.-Through the con
fession of an anarchist named Ra-
mires, one of the conspirators in the
assassination in, February, 1908, OF
King Carlos and Crown Prince Luiz
of Portugal, the identity of LAG other
conspirators in this crime has been
revealed. Ramires says the leaders
in this plot are still in communication
with each other, their ultimate aim
being the assassination of King Man
uel, who was under a special guard
during his attendance at the funeral
of the late King Edward.
The confession shows that the plot
was more widespread than the police
suspected and that 16 prominent poll
ticians, several Of whom are still act.
i've in government affairs, were in.
volved. The authorities expect to i'm.
plicate at least 1000 persons, and are
now engaged in obtaining evidence
for the ex~tradition from New York,
London, Paris and Rio de Janeiro OF
the leaders of the regicide band.
Ramires was arrested after the as
sassination of Carlos and Luiz, but es'
capped and fed to Brazil, where he
was recently rearrested. He was
brought back to Lisbon a few days
ago.

hEREplTY AND ENVIRONMENT.

One does not heed to be a calamity.
bowler to agree with Doctor Jordan,
president of Leland Stanford Gniver-
sity, who declares hat this country Is
doomed to the fate Of Rome unless we
keep our blood virile, like that of our
pioneer forbears. Prosperity is a
wonderfully fine thing for a nation to
experience, but 1t is that same prosper
fly which sometimes leads to national
downfall, says Pittsburg Post. Prob
ably that is one reason why a divine
Providence occasionally permits us a
year or two of adversely. We need 1t
to keep the blood virile and to avoid
becoming the victims of the luxury Of
an effete civilization. Be that as 1t
may, we can do much to improve the
race by improving environments. With
the vast accumulations of money which
might be devoted to the purpose. the
unfit, with some exceptions, might be
bettered by giving them the proper en-
vironment. 1t must be RECALLED, how
ever, that the unfit are not all among
the lower classes. Many of those who
live in palaces are more so than many
of those whose homes are novels. The
excuses of the rich are quite as bad
as those of the poor. Where draw the
line?

Q decided to send four delegates from
each district association to Springfield
Illinois United Mine Workers ON a
new scale. They thus would end the
strike that has been in progress since
April /. These committees have no
power to close contracts.
This action follows the conference
at Peoria last week between the ILL

resulted in no agreement.

suited in the Mine Workers. officers
directing Illinois district unions to
make independent contracts with op-
orators who were willing TO break
away from the Operators association.
The Belleville operators set up as a
reason for entering into independent
contracts an alleged inequality in the
old scale by which the Williamson
county district paid 50 cents a ton Tor
mining, while Belleville paid IS cents.
This is charged as a discrimination
that hampered Belleville operators Sc
riously in competition.
The Illinois Traction company
signed a wage agreement with the
miners union and ended the strike at
its mines. The traction company is
not a member of the Illinois Coal OPP
orators association, but has acted
with the operators in the strike nego-
tiations. The agreement opens the

The ideal hero of all countries and
periods has been the warrior. and
probably still is. In this country, and
it doubtless holds good the world over,
the number of statues of military men
is ten to one to those erected to civili-
ans. War with all its horrors bred
manly virtues, courage, generosity,
truthfulness, simplicity, obedience,
scorn of and self-sacriice in
those that followed it, and men have
always admired and concentrated
them, says Cincinnati Enquirer. What
is to take their place in the piping
times of peace? What will a nation be
like which has among its people none
who have known the discipline of war
or acquired the military virtues, and
none who have heard from sires or
'grandames stirring tales of the strug-
giles in which they took part? 1t would
seem that patriotism as we understand
it must cease to exist, and hat love of
country will be superseded by love of
mankind.
