corder Calvert gave Squire. Perry,

the sign that there was something
doing and this obliging official lost
no time in complying. He found the

if it was their desire to be made man
and wife, and being answered in the
affirmative. he proceeded to tie the
nuptial knot in his most solemn and

chicagoan.

Another Racer of Same Length is un.
der Construction at indianapolis
and viii Enter July
4th Races.

Keokuk people who have been read
ing with interest and considerable
doubt. the promise of forty-five miles
an hour at the July 4th races of the
NJ. V. P. B. A at Dubuque, Iowa. will
be interested in knowing that instead
of forty-five miles, the guaranteed
speed of one of the boats will be fifty
actual miles. If this boat delivers on
its makers promises it will be the
fastest in the world
The craft in question is being built
for James A. Pugh, president of the
Pugh Terminal Warehouse company
of Chicago and commodore of the
Pistakee Yacht Club, McHenry. H.,
on Fox Lake. Commodore Pugh is a
millionaire and since he has become
interested in the racing game, the
only object with him seems to be
winner. regardless of cost.
His new boat. which is under con-
struction at Lake Geneva, Wis. IS
80 feet long with a five foot six inch
beam. It is a specially designed Fau-
Der Hydroplane, with six planes. It
will he equipped with three six-cylin-
der engines, eighteen cylinders in all,
each set weighing about $50 pounds
and Developing total of between SOC
and 400 horsepower The boat will
have three propellers of mcneil steel
and The builders guarantee fifty miles
an hour.
i expect to have it completed By
April goth, or by May LIST, at the out
side writes Commodore Pugh, to a
Representative of The Gate City. The
guaranteed speed is fifty miles an
hour continues the commodore, but
il is little early to say just what
she will do in the water, and | do not
want to make any false claims. We
cannot tell just what she will do un-
til she is tried ont, but will be glad
TO give the readers of your paper the
story of her performances as soon
as We have tried her out
1t is considered probable that Com
modore Pugh's boat will be the most
remarkable boat built in 1911 Her
first public appearance will be at the
NJ v r. -. a. races dt puouque,
July 4th, and it is expected this fea-
ture alone will attract thousands of
people to this regatta.
Another remarkable boat already
completed is % footer built for Carl
G. Fisher, millionaire auto maunfact-
urer of indianapolis. This boat is
costing $4,000 complete, and it will
make its first public appearance at
Dubuque, entering into competitor with
the Pugh marvel These two boats
should. without doubt, form the great
est motor boat race ever held In the
country, and if as many motor boat
ers, in proportion, are going to Du
buqua from other places, as from
Keokuk the plans Of the regatta com
mittee to entertain $4,000 visitors re
gatta week, will be more than realized

DIR. A. A. Ame6 Conc,

DR.. Albert Alonzo Ames passed
peacefully to his rest at his home in
Minneapolis last Thursday evening.
He had lain down to seek repose in
the afternoon and later when called
for the evening meal it was found that
his spirit had flown.
DR.. Ames was born in Illinois in
1912 and came to what is now Minne-
apolis with his parents in 1852. He
studied medicine and surgery and was
graduated from Rush Medical COL
lege, Chicago, in 1862. The same
year he enlisted as a private in the
Ninth MINI. Inf, and later was
surgeon of the Seventh MINI. Inf. In
1867 he was elected to the Minnesota
Legislature, and it was largely through
his efforts that the soldiers home at
Minnehaha was established. He was
four times elected mayor of Mime
apolis-l876, 1882, 1885 and 1900. In
1886 he was the democratic candidate
for governor and only lacked $500
votes of defeating A. r. McGill, the
republican nominee-it was claimed
and believed by many that he was
fairly elected but was counted out.
DR.. Ames was splendid physician
and surgeon and no more generous
hearted man ever lived; he was especi-
ally kind to the poor and distressed
and his services we're ever at their
disposal without money and without
price. He had his failings like other
men, but his patriotism and philan-
throphy atones hundred times over
for his few little shortcomings.
