INTEREST is INCREASING

The average citizen is not aware
of the noticeable advancement that
has been made by the Young Women's
Christian Association in the past year.
Figures generally speak for them
selves, however, and the general Sec
rotary, Miss Nivling, has compiled a
list of numerals showing the attend
ance in the various departments dur
ing the past six months.
The total enrolment of the Y. w
c. A. is 412. This number of persons
belonging to the association has been
attained through the earnest efforts
of those who have been connected
with the association during the past
year Last November, membership
campaign with its motto, "get two"
was successfully carried out and the
enrolment materially increased.
This fall another campaign WI. be
launched and a membership OF six
hundred should be attained by this
time next year. Quincy's Young Won
ans Christian Association has less
than four hundred members, a city
three times the size of Keokuk. Many
of the other larger cities Of the state
haven't the membership that the
local Young Womans Association has.

Excelled only by the monster dam
across the historic Nile river, the
greatest engineering feat in the his
tory of the middle west is under way
on the Mississippi river at Keokuk,
Iowa, the point from which Colonel
the far west several years ago. A
huge dam is being built across the
mississippi at the foot of the rapids
which lie to the north of Keokuk; and
the stored energy of the river is to
be used in generating over 100000
electrical horse power. The power
will be distributed throughout the
middle west; the first long distance
transmission line running to St. Louis
10 miles south of Keokuk, where
~ per cent of the power to be de-
Veloped is now under contract. The
bed of the river at this point affords
an excellent rock foundation. The
cam will be built of reinforced con-
crete; and over 100000 barrels of
ment, and 1000 tons of steel will be
required in the construction of this
gigantic work.
The dam, including abutnents. will
De 400 feet long. or seven-eighths OF

f,ooo feet in length. The Gam will
rise 81 feet above the river bed, and
the base has a width of 40 feet. On
Top OF the spillway will be placed 116

Significance Of Visit.

The visit of representatives of the
firm backing tho water power r-oiect
is believed to be Of much significance,
and it should at least ease the minds
of many skeptical persons regarding
the ultimate building of the dam.
The holdings of the keokuk Electric
Railway G. Power company represent
a large investment.
Webster G. Stone own many Of the
public utilities plants throughout the
country and the ownership Of the To-
cal company seems right in their line.
The above gentlemen arrived in
Keokuk last night from ST Louis,
where they were in attendance at a
meeting Of the National Electric Light
association, together with L. n. G..

.ERB WILL RETURN AND
PLAY STANFORD RUGBY
Noted Cardinal Athlete Declares
He Will Again Don Foot
ball TogS

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Aug. H.
That Benjamin Edward Erb, the
clever half, will surely return to col
lege has become known through infor-
nation contained in a letter written by
thes cardinal player while in New
Zealand. Erb took the trip with
number of the other California players
last May and the news that he will be
on hand for the fall season has brought
joy to the hearts of the cardinal root
ers Erb is regarded as the best hair
that has been developed here since the
introduction of the Rugby game.
He is the brother of Billy Erb, an
other famous football star, who is still
remembered by the older generation of
Stanford supporters. Ben Erb was
captain of his freshman football team,
which lost a hard fought game to the
baby class from across the bay. He mas
played two seasons on the varsity team
and has been a wonder at half. he
comes from family of Rugby players
and has lived all his life among the
Rugby SQUADS of British Columbia.
pad" Moulton said today that he
was anxiously awaiting the fall train
ing and that he was hopeful that some
new material might develop. He said
that the case of Faulkner, which is
causing so much interest, could only
be settled between the advisory bodies
of St. Mary's and Stanford. and that
he looked for the matter to be speedily
arranged.
Coach George Presley was here to-
day to look after the preliminary ar
rangements for the early practice sea-
son. He expec to have the Rugby
SQUADS out as soon as possible this
year and give them light practice at
once. He will return permanently TO
the campus within the next few days.

COMMITTEE TO PREPARE
DETAILS OF CORONATION

LONDON, Aug. lit is stated that
the coronation committee, which will
draw up suggestions for the arrange
ments in connection with next years
ceremony, will shortly be appointed.
1t is expected that the duke of Nor
folk as earl marshal will be at the
head of the committee.
On this occasion the procedure will
be considerably simplified because
there is a recent precedent. At the
time of King Edwards accession mat
ters of ceremonial governing the coro-
nation We're 50 vaguely understood that
it was necessary for court of claims
to sit and investigate the titles to
various rights and privileges which
were claimed as the exclusive possess
sion of more than one person. Those
knotty points having been settled less
than ten years ago there will hardly
be any necessity for court of claims.
It is understood that the general ar
rangements will be on the lines of
those which governed the coronation
Of King Edward.

REFUSED ADMITTANCE,
CAMPS OUTSIDE OF JAIL
Weary Individual Seeks Rest Be-
hind Bars of Prison

PITTSBURG, Aug. 11.-When Dep
uty Warden John Mcneil answered a
ring of the bell at the county Jail last
night, William Lennox, aged 5S, pre-
sented himself.
81 have just walked from Cambria
county," said LennoX. II am tired,
hungry and sleepy. viii you let me
stay with you several days until l can
get work?"
Mcneil explained this was impossible,
no one being received without COM
mitment. This did not please Lennox
in the least. Going into the waiting
room he threw down his pack, which
he carried over his shoulder on heavy
stick.
II have walked as far as can, and
if you won't let me in I'll simply camp
here" Lennox announced. And suit
ing his action to his words he stretched
himself out on bench and fell asleep.
When the patrol wagon arrived at
McNeiPs request Lennox was breath
ing heavily. Aroused, he demonstrated
with his captors, but it was no use.
A few minutes later he was sleeping
lust as soundly in Central station.

GOSSIP OF THE TURF

Little Guy Garner still heads the list
of winning Jockeys on the New York
tracks with 50 victories, 72 seconds and
so thirds, but he is not regarded as the
best race rider by long shot.
Carroll Shilling, who is second with
61 frsts, 3S seconds and q thirds, in
cluding the last Saturdays races of
the Empire City meeting, is making
rapid strides for premier honors, and
as a Jockey he is in a class by himself.
Shilling did not receive license until
the local season was well under way,
and since then he has been suspended
on numerous occasions for disobedience
at the post and rough riding. Shilling
is expected quickly to overhaul Garner
at Saratoga.
Archibald, upon whose services Aug
ust Belmont has second call, has shown
steady Improvement and his record con-
sists of 26 winners, 20 seconds and 16
thirds.
v. powers, who rode 173 winners last
year. and led all the jockeys in this
country, Archibald being second with
159 firsts, has been unable to ride the
past month because of illness. He Is
one of the best, however in spite OF
the fact that on the metropolitan tracks
he has ridden only % winners.
Taplin, who accepted mounts, in New
York early in the season before going

and "a thirds.
Eddie Dugan, who rode more than 100
winners last year, has not begun to ride
In to his old form. He has been on the
ground so long and did not begin to
ride in the east steadily until the sea-
son was we'll under way. AS result
Dugan has handled only 80 firsts, rs
seconds and % thirds.

BULLFIGHT TAKES
PLACE OF RENO CO
Cory Exhibition Is Placed on the
Screen When Authorities
Halt Other Affair

Local fight film promoters last night
slipped a large one over on county
officials at Arcadia and caused forty
or fifty persons assembled in the gar
den at Oakwood hotel to get a bigger
laugh out of the affair than they could
have secured at any theater in the
world. Incidentally, Manager Stewart
of the hotel declares that pictures of a
bull fight in which nine horses and
one bull were killed and the lives OF
men were in danger were allowed to
be flashed on the screen, yet a scene
depicting Jeffries at work. in his camp
was tabooed.
1t was the intention of those con-
trolling the Jeffries- Johnson pictures
in this section to flash them at Ar
cadia last night, and a notice to this
effect was given out during the after
noon. Between forty and fifty persons
gathered in the Oakwood gardens and
waited for the show to begin.
Jeffrfes in training was offered
through the picture machine. The
former champion was seen at work In
his training quarters, skipping the rope
and doing other small stunts. Then
he pulled on the gloves and was abou;
to go on with Joe ChoynSkt-ln the
pictures-when word was issued that
the show must stop. Street scenes In
Reno at the time of the mill were then
flashed, followed by the empty arena,
and finally the piece de resistance.
This was nothing less than the
goriest bull fight shown anywhere. Ac-
cording to Manager Stewart, it spelled
action at every revolution of the films
and was twice as brutal as any prize
fight ever staged.
The authorities made no move to
prevent the scene of carnage from pro-
ceeding, their only orders, apparently
being to stop the pictures of two men
in action from being flashed. The ami
NAL in the pit, doomed to certain
death, was shown in his stand for life
along with the horses, carrying their
riders this way and that and never
baking when the cruel horns of their
fellow in misery threatened them. The
men in the bull ring were much more
brutal in every way than their fellows
of the prize rims, but all this appar-
emily was forgotten in the interests OF
duty" as leveled against the tamest
exhibition of ringcrAft ever placed on
a Screen.
