EDITOR PRINGLE
AS A PAINT ARTIST
Caught in the Act, of PAINTING His
Mothers Home, ALFRED In Reg
ulation Uniform.

The Quincy Herald recently
devoted little attention and some
space to former Keokuk newspaper
man which will be read with interest
by readers of The Gate City:
When w. E. PringIe returned from
Kellogg, Iowa, the other day, after
a vacation of two weeks, he proudly
exhibited paint stains on his hands
to prove an assertion that he had
been improving his time while
abroad in beautifying the external
appearance of his mothers house
His story was discredited and taken
as an idle dream of the young man.
But it was the truth.
In his mail, yesterday morning
City Clerk Schroer received two
photos on postal cards, and these
cards bore out and proved to be true
the assertion of Mr., Pringle that he
had painted and rested while away.
They came from his brother, en-
closed in the envelope used by the
Des Moines union of painters and
decorators. One showed the agile
newspaper man in midair on a lad
der. diligently applying the brush
to the side of a pretty cottage. He
wore overalls and a dinky cap, and
there was nothing in the pose sug-
costing that he had knowledge that
he was being photographed. The
other showed that the assertion he
had made as to resting part of the
time while away was also true 1t
represents him lying full-length on
the grass, with eyes closed and a
sound emanating from his lips in very
good imitation of portable sawmill
Bro. Pringle has been reinstated
into full club membership, and the
stain that has rested upon his char
acter has been removed. Washington
has nothing on him as child of
truth and veracity. The photographs
have saved him.

CITY NEWS.

-Four hundred excursionists were
on the steamer Keokuk when it ar
rived from Quincy about lis Sunday
afternoon. The Columbia arrived
here from Davenport about 2:30 in
the afternoon with crowd of be-
tween six and seven hundred people
| from points intermediate. The boat
left Davenport Saturday night and
was crowded when it arrived in Keo-
kuk. The capacity of the boat is
about $50.
The Owls hope to make lhe first
week In October one of the biggest in
the entertainment history of Keokuk
and say they will succeed If THE mer-
chants and citizens generally cooper
ate with them. They will secure the
Parker Carnival Co., and this amuse-
ment concern is we'll known in this
city as it made former visit. A COM
mittee from the Owls expected to call
on the business men late this after
noon or tomorrow and ascertain their
sentiment regarding the celebration,
as to how much support they could
expect from them in the way OF con-
tributions and street concessions. The
| Owl committee and lodge In its en-
tirety for that matter with proper en-
couragement and with liberal sup
port hope to make the attraction one
that will be pleasing and profitable
to all concerned. They hope to be able
| to attract large number of out-of-
town guests who will take the oppor-
tunity to see the shows and see the
big water power and see the mer-
chants display of fall and winter mer-
chandise and in other ways get &C
quainted with Keokuk and it's posi-
bilities. The Owls want the first week
in October to equal, if possible, any
| former street fair celebration.

Dubuque Regatta at the Colonial To-

Dubuque Regatta at the Colonial To-
night.
'Tonight's the night "The Dubuque
Regatta will be shown at the Colon
ial Theatre-tonight only. The great
est motor boat races ever held in
America
This picture of motor craft is so
wonderfully and thrillingly shown that
one is struck with amazement, not
only at the numerous boats which
dash hither and thither but at the
daring of those who must have faced
the greatest of peril in order to have
accomplished the hulculean task of
such startling deception. Think of
it. You sit quietly in your seat and
within a few yards Of you goes dash
ing by the famous Disturber II, and
Hoosier Boy and a host of others
Now flashing by comes the HYDRO
plane, we'll named indeed, for it skins
along the waves seeming to leap from
crest to crest in its terrific flight But
there are hundreds and hundreds of
others, and the great twenty mile
course is dotted with them. We see
them make difficult and hazardous
turns in clouds of spray and covered
with foam of the sea, and we hold
our breath in deep amazement at
all Among the many renowned men
of the Aquatic world gathered in this
regatta is Commodore Pugh of Chi
cago, owner and chief pilot of the
Disturber H. AS the celebration was
classed as the water carnival and the
town of Dubuque was dressed in holt
day attire, very fine pictures were OBJ
tanned in the making of the whole
event
The special attraction for one
night only. No one should miss it..
Two performances, at 7;45 and 900.
A Boys Friend.
At the Orpheum tonight, "a Boys
Best Friend" will be the subject of
an Imp. An interesting synopsis says
of this picture:
James Darlington, born in country
village, is a successful broker, at the
zenith of his career as a speculator
He left his birthplace as a boy and
has never returned, SO engrossed is he
in the game of amassing wealth. He
has neglected his parents in the hus
tie and hustle of the street and the

and-his mother.
He leaves the office, being reminded
that the morrow will be the critical
time-when he will crush his business
enemies and be power in the street,
his name on every lip as the clever
iinancier who has succeeded
He goes to his apartments, not in
terested in business, his thoughts con-
stantly reverting to his youth. He will
go, although sacrificing fortune. He
sends telegram to his mother and
quickly follows.
The story closes with the mother, i'll
in bed, anxiously awaiting the coming
of her boy. He arrives and is clasped
in her arms.

THE PROBABLE WINNERS
Tennis Experts Favor Bouscaren and
tho Younger Joy for Title-c.
n. Joy to be chaI-
Ienger.

Drawings for the first round in the
city tennis tournament we're made
this afternoon by the committee in
charge and play will start immediate
ly. 1t is hoped that the second rounds
play can be begun before the week is
over.
In tennis circles the general opinion
prevails that L. H. G. Bouscaren, run
ner UP to G. r. Joy last year, and
Ralph Joy, son of the present city
champion, will be the flnalists. AS
luck would have it in the draw Bous-
caren is in the upper half and Joy in
the lower half SO that unless defeat
comes during the early play these
two experts will not meet for elimina-
ton until all other players have been
disposed Of There are several other
players who pretend championship
calibre but top notchers do not fear
them.
City Champion c. R. Joy will chal-
lenge the winner of the tournament
at its completion and thus be given
an opportunity of continuing his title
even though not participating in the
tourney. Bouscaren is said to have
played little this summer while Ralph
Joy is in form to defeat his father II
he is able to wade through his four
matches. Following are the pairings:
L. H. G. Bouscaren We. Dow Harvey

When Thomas Hayes Of Argyle Bumps
Stakeholder Over Head He
viii Pay the Penalty and
That's All.
UpHoLDs HIM
JUDGE
Story Of Alteration Between Stock
holders of Telephone Company and
What Came
Of it.

Judge w. S. Hamilton holds that
when stockholder in telephone
company casts aside his dignity to
such an extent as to whale business
associate over the head during stock
holders meeting, he can be fined once
but only once.
The story is curious one and has
its setting at Argyle, Iowa, not far
from Keokuk During the month of
April meeting of the stockholders
of local telephone company was be-
ing held. There was an alteration
and Thomas Hayes struck r. Duminel
over the head with chair This con-
versation followed:
Duminel-sIt was a cowardly thing
to do and you ought to be ashamed of
yourself.
Hayes-I am ashamed of myself
Duminel-You will have to pay a
fine for this.
Hayes-I am willing to pay a fine.
Appeared Before Justice.
Later in the day Duminel. suffering
from bump on his head, appeared
before William Shepherd, justice of
the peace of Charleston township. He
did not file an information against his
assailant Tut told the justice what
had happened. The magistrate said
that if the facts were true he could
enter plea of guilty and assess a
fine, while Hayes agreed would be all
right.
Why Duminel then went to Justice
John Anthony of Des Moines town
ship and filed an information charging
assault with intent to do great bod
lily injury is not brought out in the
agreed statement of facts received
with Judge Hamiiton's order today
But he did and Hayes this time pro
tested. The county attorney had the
charges amended to assault and bat
terry and the evidence was taken anG
Hayes found guilty. The fine was
IS and costs.
The principle of the thing stuns
Hayes SO deeply that hme took an ap
peal to the district court and Judge
Hamilton reversed Justice Anthony
holding that the former conviction
was the only one that could be Sc
cured.
