The Young Mems Civic league last
night endorsed the plan and will at-
tempt TO go further in the organiza-
tiOn OF a band There are many mu.

The band idea is a logical result OF
the regularly increasing popularity
OF the park. The mineral waters,
practically unknown even to Guthrie
people a year ago, are known to
people in half the states of the union
and a dozen states are now repre-
sented by people using the water as
treatment for rheumatism, dyspepsia
and other ailments. The people OF
the city are using the water very ex-
tensiyely and the shipments are
large
The water feature Is not all by
any means. The park has cost the
city several thousands Of dollars in
the last few months and it will be
very attractive For the first time
the walk-ways are we'll defined and
the grounds have been seeded The
driye-ways have been perfected A
lot Of swings and seats have been
built.
The Young Mems Civic league has
decided TO offer prize OF $25 for
the best name for the mineral wa or,
with reference to Guthrie Advertls-
ing stationery is also being designed.

Gala Week at Colonial.

This week at the Colonial theatre
will be gala week and the weeks pro-
gram will be made up of the greatest
pictures ever offered to the picture
fans of keokuk On tomorrow night
the feature attraction will be New
York. Chinatown and the Bowery,
showing scenes of life in the slums of
New York City. These scenes will
be lectured and it will no doubt prove
as interesting as trip to this his
toric landmark of New York. Three
shows will be given tomorrow night,
at Ills, SIS and 9:15.
On next Wednesday night the fea-
ture attraction will be something out
of the ordinary in the way of motion
pictures. On this occasion the life
of Americas boldest bandit, Jesse
James" will be shown in two reels of
the best motion pictures ever brought
to Keokuk. AS the crowds Wednes-
day night will undoubtedly tax the
capacity of the Colonial, the manage
ment has decided to give four COM
plete shows at 200, $780, 900 and
10000 O'Clock in order that all may see
these sensational pictures.
On next Thursday night the fea-
ture attraction will be picture of
actual historical Importance and one
that stamps the motion picture as an
absolute educational force. Robert
Emmett is the name of the picture.
and it will teach more about the
momentous Emmett period in Irish
history than hours among the text
books. This picture describes Emmets
part in Ireland's great fight better
than all the lengthy discourses of the
Patrick's day orators. Not only will
the Irish-American enthuse over the
stirring tale it tells. but the lover of
liberty everywhere will feel its ap-
neal, the student of history will like
it for the history in 1t, and the, lover
of love stories will like it for the en-
trancing love story that it is. Three
shows will be given Thursday night
at 7:15, SIS and 9:15 and it will no
doubt prove a picture of merit. Billy

HOPE TO ELECT
TACOMA MAYOR

Tacoma, Wn., April 4.-The early
voting was extremely light and up to
noon only few hundred ballots had
been cast at the various voting
booths. OF these the greater num-
Der were women. Society women
were active, those owning automo-
biles offering their less fortunate sis

of an auto ride to he'polls.
The voting is expected to become
heavy late this afternoon, and even

polls did not open until o'clock this
morning. making it impossible for
the working classes to vote in the
forenoon.

Washington, April 4.-Thousands
of would-be sightseers were denied
admittance to congress today, only
those with cards being allowed to
pass the doors.
Before the house convened William
J. Bryan sauntered onto the floor and
was warmly greeted by the members,
while the galleries loudly cheered.
Pandemonium followed when Cover
nor Harmon, of Ohio, followed the
Nebraskan, and the very walls shook
with cheers when the two chiefs of
Democracy clasped hands. Both oc-
cupied seats on the floor of the house
and watched the opening progress
with interest.
Though outshone in numbers, the
Republicans were not lacking in en-
thuslasm, and the old guard roared
out a lusty welcome when Represen-
tative Mann, Of Illinois, the candidate
for speaker, came upon the scene.
The busiest man in Washington to-
day was Champ Clark All during
the morning admirers stormed his
room and the Missourian was kept
busy shaking hands. No attempt was
made to open the kilograms OF con-
graduation which poured in on him
They came in scores, and the new
speaker was far too busy at first hand
to even examine the good wishes ex-
pressed by absent friends.

matter, and could do nothing less
than sentence the defendants to the

It would be useless to increase the
