Wesley Potter as pastor of the Trini-

Keokuk congregation highly recon-
mended as a christian gentlemen and
splendid citizen, and that his work in
Sioux Falls has been successful IS at

Thursday morning, Sept. 81. A clip

pearing in Sundays issue does not
express the opinion of The Gate City.
Rev. Browns work in this city is be.

this paper obtains there is no doubt
but what it will be of the most sue.
cessful kind. The Press says of Rev
Brown:
Rev. j. M. Brown, who has been pas.

There will be general regret over
the leaving of Mr.. Brown. He has
been a faithful worker in the church

has always been popular with the gen.

ideals and pleasing manner, a good
public speaker on all occasions and
takes an active interest in affairs
which concern the welfare of the citi.
zens, whether it bears upon his church
and church work, or not. Sioux Falls
will lose an able and popular minis.

For Directors Next
Season.
PRESENCE OF ALL URGED
Fans Are Requested to be Present

Dark and dreary, tonight will be a
good one for the annual meeting Of
the Keokuk Baseball Association
which will be called to order by Presi-
dent E. P. McManus in the superior
court room at s o'clock this evening.
There will be nothing for the bugs to
do but turn out, and large attend
ance is expected.
Many fans have been talking about
what should be done in a baseball
way and the meeting will be in a
receptive mood to hear this wealth of
ideas. The most important matter
will be the election of a board of d.
rectors.
In this connection a number OF
business men are being prominently
mentioned as good material for the
places. It is reported that a big
shake-up in the directorate is coming
and some new blood will be instilled
into the organization.
From reports which have been re.
ceived from several cities 1t seems
that Keokuk has been paying much
more for baseball than in other places
In Burlington only $1,000 was paid by
the fans in the way of subscriptions
at the beginning of the season, while
at Ottumwa the expense was much
less. If an owner and manager could
be secured to give the city club,
following the same arrangement as
at Burlington, it would be much more
satisfactory
In discussing the meeting this even
ing fans should not lose sight OF the
fact that their presence Is necessary
Come, and If you have anything to
say there will be many attentive
listeners.
