CHICAGO, June 3.-More hapless
adventures in love and finance were
told Yesterday by Sentimental Tom
nv, Foulkes, the Danbury, Iowa,
farmer, in his prosecution Of Miss
Lodavaine Miller and her brother, J.
Marion Miller, attorney, charged with
swindling him out of about $4,000.
Foulkes concluded his own story ard
Miss Miller may take the stand THIS
mo- ming.
1t was rollicking narration. Judge
never couldn't help laughing at times,
the Jury chnckled, the capacity crowd
in the criminal court room suickered.
Even Miss Miller was amused am
Foulkes, too.

On lower Chesapeake Bay, on the
22d day of March, the historic war
vessel Texas which bore the brunt
of the naval battle at Santiago, in the
Spanish-American war, was sacrificed
to naval science; it was matter
confined exclusively to the navy de-
partment, and, while general reports
were given in the newspapers, the
actual facts and results were of con-
siderable mystery and speculation. 1t
was the good fortune of the Vitagraph
Company of America to have their
photographers and camera on board
the Des Moines from which all the
observations of the experiments were
made, and the motion pictures that
have been secured by this company
are the only ones of the tests to be
exhibited. They show every detail

INVITING the Old Soldiers.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
AS an ex-soldier and citizen of keo-
kuk, am seconding your suggestion
that through some one of our public
organizations, we invite the First, Sec
ond and Third Iowa regiments of the
Civil war to hold their reunion for
this year in this city. We should COM
mence active efforts to make Keokuk
attract conventions and reunions. NO
place has greater attractions or more
fervent membranes to the old sold
iers than Keokuk.
The writer has had a description OF
the magnificent appearance of the
first regiment above referred to-,
marching down Main street to the
transports ready to take them to the
war. No greater or Drawer body or
men went out from any where than
the many thousands rendezvousing
here. We are doing ourselves honor
now to invite them to return after a
period of fifty years. The two army
nosts will cooperate and if necessary
take the initiative, but | am sure the
sentiment of the soldiers is that it
would be better for the Commercial
Club or some other organization to
first extend the city's hospitality, as
suggested by The Gate City in it's Is
sue 1st inst.
Yours very truly,

Nils Louise Beyer, president Of the senior class Of the High School which held it's class day exercises Wednesday, told an interesting story concerning ex Senator Patterson Of Colorado in he course Of her address, which follows:
 Dear Friends and FelIow-Clnss mates:-ln asking your presence here tonight, 1t is cur hope thSt we may divert you for an hour with some of the facts and fantasies, the fripperies and foibles, the frol- ics and friyolities in the career or this glorious class of ours, the Glass of 1911. Our progress to the steep Hill of Learning has been accom- panied by frequent backslidings and side digressions, at which our be- loved faculty have often shaken dis- nal heads and reminded us that we are ever arriving, yet never arrived Nevertheless, we are not yet down daunted-on the contrary these somewhat left handed encourage ments have proven the best means of helping to drag us up the nin.

 from Colorado. Senator Patters 1n was an extremely optimistic man, an1 as ccrpulent as he was full of gOC
 cheer. It certainly required opti- misn in a man built on so generous model to undertake the ascent of Pike's Peak, yet undertake it he cid On a hot day in mid-August. He puffed and panted uncomplainingiy at the side of longer-nmbed and
 brawnier pedestrians, who felt n1 need to halt for rest till long after Tassing the Half-Way House. After Q
 climb of what seemed miles and miles. literally one set up on end, on top of another, they met Q party
 of tourists coming down. and so stopped to inquire the distance to the summit. How much farther frJm here?" asked Senator Patterson be tween gasps. One of the men re- piled that he thought it must bc about a mile and a quarter upward. Heartened considerably at this, Sen ator Patterson ard his party trudsed sturdily ahead. After cons and cons of time and endless space had been traversed they stood at last above ! aFe Morraine. On the steeD slope
 there they encountered another group Of pedestrians returning from the

The senator and his friends looked puzzled at this, then with a long sigh started ahead again on a climb that now became a feeble creeping from one telegraph pole 10 the next, then a halt to struggle
 for breath. Finally they gazed down triumphantly on the crest Of Mount Rosa. a summit, which ar tIe be ginning of the ascent seemed the twin Of Pikes Peak. Here they met 8 single guide coming down.
