]. H. Hainsworth, Farmer of Near
Hamilton, Was Alarmed When
Grandniece Was Held by
immigration Dept.
AFFIDAVIT WAS NEEDED
Something of the strictness of This
Department is Disclosed in Long
Trip of Fourteen-Year
old Girl.

Circumstances attending the recent
long trip of Miss Nancy Belts, the
fourteen-yaar-old grandniece of j. H.
Hainsworth, a prosperous farmer re-
siding south Of Hamilton, from her
home in Stoke on the Trent, Hanley,
England, to the Wabash depot across
the river, are interesting in that they
disclose something of the strictness OF
our immigration department. How
ever, the delay which the young Eng
lish girl was occasioned at Quebec
and the subsequent worry of her grand
uncle which almost drew a $4,000 re-
ward from the purse of the we'll known
farmer add interest to the narrative
Several weeks ago Mr.. Hams
worth. wishing to bring his young
grandniece to his home south of Ham
ilton. bought prepaid ticket from
the Wabash Office in Keokuk and for
warded it to her. Later he received
word that she had departed for this
country, sailing on the Empress of
Ireland. A short time later wire
was received from the steamship
companys ageit in Chicago, stating
that the girl had arrived in Quebec
and would reach Chicago on October
90 This would bring her to his
home on the following Monday morn
ing. But when Monday morning ar
rived no girl came, and so on in the
afternoon and evening and during the
next day.
Mr.. Hainsworth became greatly
alarmed. for the whereabouts of the
girl could not be ascertained and she
had failed to get even as far as Chi
caso. Willing to do anything possible
to locate the girl, at the same time
fearing that she had been KIDNAPPED.
Mr.. Hainsworth was on the verge OF
offering reward of So 600, when he
was joyed by the reception of tele-
gram from Quebec. 1t stated that the
girl was being detained by the immi-
I grafton department because of the
! lack of an affidavit to the effect that
! she would be supported by Mr.. Hams
worth. The law in regard to girls of
/ this age is very strict, especially in
/ view Of recent white slave legislation.
The sum of thirty-fve dollars was
:! forwarded to the Quebec officials to
/ meet the current expenses of the girl
during her short stay there while the
/ proper affidavit was being made out
/ When the girl arrived at Mr. Hams
worth's handsome home, inquiry was
made as to the money. Miss Belts
stated that she gave the officials the
entire s35 and all she had to show
for it was some paper, she declared.
Upon examination, however, it was
found that the paper in her posses
sion amounted to s25 in Canadian
paper money.

Retail Grocer's Association of kcokuk
is Considering Novel Plan for
the Delivering of
EdibIes.
HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL
One Transfer Company With Aid of
Central Warehouse Could
Handle all the Food
stuffs of City.

One radical change that the grocer
men of Keokuk are seriously consid-
ering the adoption of at the present
time, is what is known as :, central
delivery SYSTEM
In short, this scheme which has
been proposed and is one which is
being given close scrutiny, would
mean the handling of all grocer's
products ordered by patrons, through
a transfer company. The transfer
company contracting for the delivery
work of every grocery establishment
In the city, adopting the plan, would
call at each store during the day and
prompt deliveries would be made the
same as are now given customers.
Another plan from whence comes
the term central would be that of
each grocerman lotting his goods with
those of other merchants in the same
business, at warehouse. so 1ocated
that it could be reached advantage
ously by all grocers having their
goods delivered to patrons through
means of this central delivery system.

Liberia.

Liberia, the West African negro re-
public. was founded mainly through
the efforts of American quakers, or
gained under the title of the Penn
sylvania Colonist society. The chief
bar to the development of Liberia is
law by which white men are not
allowed to hold property in the coun-
try. Capital has, therefore, gone else
where and Liberia possesses none Of
the resources of modern civilization.

Successful in the East.


In the east this central plan of de-
livering goods has been ...ea with
very noticeable and highly satisfac-
tory success, it is reported The en-
ployment of deliverymen through this
system, is of course done away with
and the grocerman saved an expense
of from ten to fifteen dollars per
week for each man employed for the
purpose of delivering goods to his
customers. In some cases more than
this.
Therefore as several grocers have
contended and the wiseness of their
contentious can be noted, the price
of groceries would not be as high as
they are now.
Staples in groceries are today high
er than they ever were in the history
of the land. A reduction in these
necessities of life would be welcome
to all and if the plan of handling the
grocery mans products through a
system of centralizing, would reduce
the price of edibles and at the same
time facilitate the work of this class
of merchants, the change would be
more than welcome, say those who
are in the business and those who
have given the proposition serious

When Oscar Sonneck. chief OF the
Division OF Music of the Library OF
Congress, recently issued his report
on the origin of certain popular nation
al songs, his innocent statement that
Yankee Doodle is second only to
Dixie in patriotic popularity" stirred
up hornets nest Of controversy. The
acrimonious discussion that was the
result OF Mr. Sonneeks remark mere
ly goes TO show how strong hold a
commonplace ballad may come in time
TO have upon the popular affections,
and justifies the preference OF the
great statesman who said he would
rather write the songs than the laws
OF nation.
A writer in the London Times says
that In every part of the Western and
United States he has
found vestiges OF the old English folk
songs, such as those that were Justify
trolled by the men of Biddleford, in
Devon, in the days OF Westward Ho,'
or by the sailors who held the Armada
at bay in the little Revenge; such
songs as Shakespeare puts into the
mouths of his characters. This in

mating ear would find among the fish

aristocracy, with their tainted wealth,
in our midst points to conditions that
do not typify the nigh ideals for which
this land should strive, and, to sub
stitute an aristocrscy of birth for that
of wealth does not appear TO aid the
accomplishment Of these ideals in our
keeping. One of the fundamental
tenets Of Americanism preached from
the pulpit and lecture platform, and
fought for by millions OF our soldiers,
10 equal opportunities for all as mucn
as possible and for us to set apart
from the rest OF the nation those who
do it service by patents OF nobility

this fundamental pillar which sup
ports our country.
His fear that the foreigner who
comes to ouS shores despises us when
he learns that one is, politically, his

is done in Europe where the foreigner
halls from, is false. The fact tnGt

which clearly points back TO a Wessex
or Norman or Breton origin.
The collector Of Old World songs
might do well to put his ear TO the
ground, as 1t were, amid the isolated
mountain dwellers of Kentucky. And,
to go farther south, one would find on
the cotton plantations and in the rice
belt survival Of the genuine Negro
folk-song-essentially different from
rag-time caricature and "coon-song'
parody-in a vein which the genius OF
Dvorak in his New World symphony
by no means exhausted.
The true folk-song seems to be the
vocal expression of the hitherto in
articulate prayer or passion OF a race
rather than of an individual. The man
who first wrote ii down Is mere Incl
dent, his name is forgotten and the
grass is green above his memory. Or
else for long time 1t was not written
down at all, but owed its life TO choral
tradition, through an unsophisticated
age, till some modern musician heard

musical notation. 1t lived all this while
not upon paper, but In the human

NEW YORK, July 7.--Ex-President
Roosevelt deals with Governor
Hughes, the New York legislature and

article in the current number of the
Outlook. Mr.. Roosevelt writes as fol
lows:

place, that, as the measure finally

What Is an ion?
Q.-what Is the meaning OF isola'
ton OF an ion?
A.-The simplest conception OF ions
Is had from the decomposition OF
calculated water in a galvanic cell or
battery by means Of the current OF
electricity established. The process
is called electrolysis, and is one oftho
most wonderful experiments perform
ed In university laboratories. II Is
indeed, impressive TO watch matter
being torn apart and separated into
it's original chemical components by
the flow Of an invisible, yet potent,
current of electricity.
Water molecules are torn asundeE
by means Of immense force OF cleo
tricity into molecules and atoms oil
oxygen and hydrogen.
Sodium sulphate Is separated into
pure metallic sodium and sulphuric
acid. which can be decomposed into
the elements sulphur and oxygen.
Sulphate Of copper dissolved In
water and the solution put into an
electrolytic cell or battery at once De-
gins to separate.
Copper, chemically pure, Is torn
away from the acid and flies to plate
Of metal and deposits in a thin layer
This is electro-plating. Gold and sill
yer are thus deposited on lower
metals. Whatever traverses the liquid
solution OF metals, or OF water acidu
lated to make it a better conductor, Is
called matter in an ionic state.
The molecules and atoms are exces
sively minute and travel with great
speed from pole to pole OF the battery
They are ions.
Isolation OF one ion means that one
Ia separated from all others, and this
is considered TO be a difficult and re-
fined work. Skill Of high order Is re-
uuired. The negative pole or plate In
a cell Is called the cathode, and the
positive, anode. The current Of clec
tricity leaves the surface OF positive

through the liquid and reaches the
