COUNTY OFFICIALS
WILL PLAY BALL

up Against Franklin Sun
day.

FORT MADISON, Iowa, July Is
The biggest thing in this neck of the
woods ir baseball will be pulled OF
at the little town of Franklin, this
county and state, on the afternoon OF
the thirty-frst day of July, 1910,
when the All Star Cast baseball
team, consisting of a majority of the
officials at the court house in Keokuk
and Fort Madison, together with a
few important ones" will proceed to
work on the Franklinites and take it
out of them in one. two, three order.
This will sure happen according to
the fan dope handed out around the
court house, because haven't they
been to lots of baseball games and
know just how it is done? And for
practice they throw croquet balls at
each other, run imaginary bases and
occasionally shoot one. This last
named exercise is being worked over
time to become proficient In, this is
the attainment of professional and
the fond hope of the amateur.
The reason they have hoped on
the Franklin boys first is that they
are the hottest bunch of players that
ever spiked a base runner, and as the
All Star boys are SO sure of victory,
what's the use of playing the water
tanks first but go right after the
champs, roll EN- up in bundle OF
zeros and then stall around until
some other team can come to bat

Architecture of Your Face.
Just as surely as hair is woman's

crowning-that is, to those that have

up through their hair usually use a
huckaback towel for the delicate proc
ess Of parting the hair, but unless one
has the peculiar requirements it is not
worth while to cultivate them.
Men with low, squatting foreheads
should not pull their hair down over
their brows. and men whose foreheads
are beginning to work back should in
vite their locks down. If your hair has
quietly slipped down toward your ears
on each side, leave 1t there. II you
bring 1t up in strings and wisps 1t will
merely look like climbing vines and
will never really have the free and
easy homelike appearance that ought
to be the part of all natural hair.
Do not part your hair any earlier
than you can help. Hair Is in hurry
these days. anyway. Usually 1t doesn't
stay more than long enough to make
sure that the baby is going to be boy
before it hastens off. 1t will part of
itself soon enough the best you can do.
Before combing your hair you should
get acquainted with the architecture
of your face. If your face is of the
harvest moon variety do not inlay
your hair. Puff it up as much as pos

Junkin Has Not Confessed.

FORT MADISON, July 2S.-There
is little ground fer many of the SEN
sational reports that are filling the
newspapers Of the state concerning
the murderer, John Junkin, now con-
fined in the state penitentiary here
awaiting his execution.
Up 70 within a few weeks ago, the
impending doom seemed to have little
apparent effect on the mans mental
state. Recently he has seemed to
resliza what he is to undergo. but in
s.cad OF bringing him to his senses in
him against all who are making eff.
forts to help him and hardened his
heart against any moral or spiritual
influence. He has had, continually
the advice and counsel of several
spiritual advisors, who visit him fire.
quently and who are anxious to AID
the man In any way. At any time
when he has desired the counsel OF
any of these, either among the prison
officials or among outsiders whom he
has asked to see, his request has
been respected and granted.
The reports that Junkin has con
fessed and is now penitent sinner
are without foundation. He has OBJ
stinately maintained that he would
not confess 70 the murder of Clara
Rosen and as obstinately declared
that he did not commit the murder.
Within the last day or two, however,
Jnnkin has semed to Yield somewhat,
to the efforts of Father Zaiser, who
has been one of his spiritual advisors,
and yesterday expressed his intention
OF accepting the Catholic faith before
his execution. Before he can receive
the communion, however he must
make private confession to the
priest. Even If he should confess the

"Goina Over Wonder"

"Going over yonder" is the way
Junkin refers to the coming tragedy.
He has negro's horror and dread for
the word death and he avoids it.
What he says to Father Zagier no
body will ever know. If he processes
christianity and dies in the faith,
this much will be known. But the
other communications that pass be-
tween the doomed negro and the
priest-the thoughts, hopes, fears and
feelings that he communicates in
these last conversational be a
sacred secret. The world will never
know them.
A week ago Junkin's aged mother
came to see him, probably for the
last interview before the final sum
mons on Friday She went away from
the cell weeping as if her heart would
break. What passed between the old
"mammy'' and the doomed son will
be as sacred a secret with the olu
black woman as the last interviews
with the priest.
His guards will stand over him day
and night and Father Zaiser will pay
him daily visits and be with him
through the last hours Friday morn
ing. He will accompany him when
Sheriff Clark of Centerville and his
deputies come to lead him through
the long corridors to the gallows in
the little enclosure where the hang
ing is to take place. AS they march
side by side, il Junkin holds his
nerve, the priest will humble his
prayers. If Junkin goes to pieces as
he did when enraged men beat on his
cell walls at the Ottumwa jail and
the air was rent with blood-thirsty
yells from the mob outside, Sheriff
Clark and Sheriff Jackson, one on
either side, will take the place of the
priest and support the doomed negro
on his way to the gallows.
But meanwhile Junkin eats, sleeps
and drinks just as he has for the
year past, and there is little difference
in his manner or appearance from the
day he first came to the pen If
anything, he is in far better condi-
ton than the terrified negro he was
when the officials hurried him by spec
ial train, automobile and hand car
through a dozen southeastern Iowa
towns where mobs clamored for his
life and landed him safely behind the
Fort Madison walls There are two
days for him to think the matter
over and he may yet go to pieces and
have to be carried to the gallows,
The chances are that he WILL

The steamer Dubuque came up the

but struck the sand bar above War
saw where she stuck. The freigh. of
the big boat was transferred to barge
this morning and towed to port by the
government steamer Grace.
The Warsaw bar gave the big boat
trouble on her last trip UP as she
stuck for about two hours and it was
feared a, that time that she would be
unable to make the crossing on the
next trip and last evening she stuck
in trying it, About ten o'clock the
Dubuque left Warsaw for Keokuk and
Burlington and had been gone but a
little way when she ran hard and fast
aground. The crew worked steadily
all night and part of the morning be-
fore she could get loose. The Grace
went down this morning with barge
and hauled up the freight to the local
freight depot. The Dubuque as soon
as she could be worked loose turned
around and started ahead.
The government dredge Hecla is
working on this bar and it is probable
that the big boat will not try to come
above Warsaw until they have sue

He Likes Such Surprises.

It's an old saying: the best advertise
ment is pleased customer.
1t happens to us continually in the
way: A man buys Devoe for his house
he has painted it once in three years for
dog sage, and thinks he knows what
he wants-buy 80 gallons, and has 10
left.
He sees right-off that 20 Devoe is as
much as 80 of anything else. He likes
that; ii comes quick; it is surprise;
and he tells of it. The best advertise
ment is a pleased customer.
Three years roll round There isn't a
sign that his house needs paint; he don't
paint it. Next year he don't paint it.
This comes slow: it is surprise; but he
has got used to it. Still the best adver-
tisement is pleased customer.
