The three medals which have been
given by Wells M. Irwin were on dis
play today. They are exceptionally
clever and are quite large. The front
bears the inscription CIV. M. Irwin

also be engraved the name of the
winner and the event. The medals
will be awarded to the winner of first.
second and third places in the in
diyidual standing.
The management of the meet is
hoping for ideal weather. The rain
of Sunday was badly needed and if a
tight sky holds during the rest of the
week the track and straightaway will
be packed hard. Keokuk people, who
make it a point to spend the day at
the athletic park, will witness the
greatest meet ever held in this vicin-
ity for a number of years. 1t will
far eclipse the meets of the previous
years, both in interest and in num-
Der of entries.

There is an African insect. the
larvae of which prey upon ants. The

in the ground and quivers its tail
quickly. The ants come near to ex-

by curiosity, go too closely, when sud
denly they are seized by the forceps
or graspers with which the tail is fur
nished. and thus are killed. Not only

Death this Morning Of Well Known
Citizen Who Has Made keokuk
His Home for Many
Years.
HE WAS WIDELY KNOWN
One Of Iowa's Best Engravers Who
Had Followed His Calling Since
Sixteen Years of
Age.

Ernest Brunat, for many years one
of the best engravers of the state and
a man widely respected for his talents
and highly valued citizenship, passed
quietly away this morning at his resi-
dence, 922 Exchange street. For the
past eighteen months, the deceased
had not been in the best of health and
his death today is the result OF a
complication of ailments, though due
directly to uraemic poisoning. De-
cember 20, 1908, he was taken i'll and
for a number of weeks was seriously
so, but he had, until recently, attended
daily to his duties and his death is
sad shock to the many friends and
immediate members of his family.

teen-year-old daughter, Alta, and two
smaller children were home and forced
their way into the house, demanding
something to eat. The young woman
refused, saying that she could not get

With The Gate City.

During the war MT. BrunaC was a
printer in The Gate City office. He
has often spoken of the assassination
of President Lincoln and of the ex-
citement accompanying it. He car
n ed the message announcing the death
ce Lincoln to the residence of Judge
Howell, then proprietor Of The Gate
City.
For several years the deceased was
in business with his son, following
Lis trade as engraver. For the past
fifteen years Mr.. Brunat has been en-
gagged as engraver at the c. Hornady
jewelry establishment, where he has
been we'll known for his excellency
and service. At one time he was en-
ployed at the Jaccard Jewelry com
pany in st. Louis, today one of the
largest establishments of it's kind in
the country.
Decendent was member of the
First Baptist church of this city and
also of the Knights of Pythias, Morn
ing Star lodge, No. 5.
He was a man of sturdy habits. hav-
ing taste for the more artistic things
in life and man whose ability as an
engraver was probably equal to that
of any whose training had been even
longer. In his death a good citizen has
been called to his last rest and Keo-
kuk mourns its loss deeply.
Those who survive him are, his son,
Ernest, of Minneapolis and Miss Mil.
lie Brunat of this city. His wife. who
was Miss Sophia Chevillon, to whom
he was married in 1868, preceded him
in death eleven years ago.
Arrangements for the funeral will be
completed with the arrival of the son
from Minneapolis tomorrow morning

Came to keokuk in '57.

Ernest Brunat was born in Paris,
France, September 26, 1843. When but
young lad, thirteen years old, he
came to this country with his parents,
M. and Nine. Cassimir Brunat. At that
time large colony left France, and
landing at New Orleans, scattered up
the Mississippi valley as far as Maui
VOC. where many of them are yet to be
found. The journey was one of three
months on the ocean, coming from
the old country, and one which was
much recited by the deceased during
his long and useful life, his memory
being excellent.
About 1860, when no more than six
teen years of age, Mr.. Brunat went
to st. LOUIS, where he remained for Two
years, learning the engraver's voca-
ton. After serving that apprentice
ship, he returned to Keokuk and allied
his work with the Bridges Jewelry
company, at that time the largest jew
elry establishment in the entire Miss
issippi valley. Two other Frenchmen
| the late Jules Renaud and Mr.. De
Bouge, were also engaged with the
same firm until it went bankrupt
