H0RD|CA COMING
TO kE0kUk SOON
Chicago and keokuk to Share the
Favor of Hearing the Great
PrIma Donna During
This Season.
ASSURE LARGE AUDIENCE
MIR. Jesse E. Baker Makes It Possible
for Music Lovers of This Sec
tion to Have the Rare
Treat cheapIy.

Chicago and Keokuk will share In
hearing Nordica sing this year.
Nine. Nordica gives twenty-six con-
GERS this season, one OF which will be
In Keokuk and the nearest other one
In Chicago.
The Keokuk advent Of this great
cantatrice will be on the evening of
Friday, September 20, under the direc-
ton OF Mr.. ]. e. Baker and the pat
ronage Of the Monday Music club.
This Is the first time since Patti
sang hsre in 1857, in the Baptist
church, located on Third street, near
High, that Keokuk has been honored
and favored by being allowed to hear
q real prfma donna-and when Patti
was here she was not yet a prima
donna, but girl assisting in the con-
certs of Ole Bull.
Seat Subscription Started.
Mr.. Baker deserves the credit for
bringing the worlds greatest prima
donna to Keokuk this month, and 1t is
to be hoped that he will not have a
balance on the debit side of his ledg.
er as an impressario. The seats are
only 81 each, notwithstanding the
high quality of the attraction and the
small size of the opera house here.
Nine. Nordica will be assisted here
by noted accompanist, including My
ron Whitney the basso, and Romayne
Simmons, the pianist.
The subscription list for seats Is
now open and subscribers will have
the first seat reservations made by
an equitable plan. While Mr.. Baker
can not conduct personal canvass,
he will be pleased to receive orders
for seats by either telephone of mail.
Out of town subscriptions will be re-
ceived in the same way and on equal
terms with Keokuk music lovers. 1t
is expected that large party will
come from Warsaw and another from
Carthage, not to speak of Hamilton,
Kahoka and other towns and cities
near Keokuk. Also parties from Bur.
lington and Quincy are expected.
There is additional interest In this
concert from the fact that Nine Nor
dica opens her seasons tour here In
Keokuk
All Should Be Interested.
To any one who will give the mat
ter thought, 1t is plain to be seer
that Keokuk should take some pride
in the visit of Nine Nordica to this
city, for 1t means more than a mere
singer coming here for concert Il
means that world celebrity is coming
here and her visit is worthy q great
ovation from the people, whether they
are unsteady inclined or not.
AS a matter of civic pride, Keokul
citizens should subscribe for tickets
in order to assure the success of the
venture. Keokuk has chance to be
placed on the musical map of the
country along with the big cities ant
il Keokuk wants to be considered one
of the big cities, she must take ad
vantage Of all opportunities Here
is one chance where all can help
Sometime later there will be one Of
different character, but whatever
character they may be, Keokuk can
not afford at this time In her history
to neglect anything. Let every ont
who possibly can, help out the must
cal opportunity now. Later, the mu
steal people can reciprocate in some
other way.

VAN|MAN DECLARES HE
 WILL GROSS ATLANTIC

| The work of filling the gas bag of the big airship Akron" at Atlantic City has begun and already more than 20o,000 cubic feet of hydrogen gas l has been pumped into the receptacle i When the Seiberling- Vaniman ,xpc- dition iS ready to start on the trip across the Atlantic ocean. the bag will contain more than f00OO0 cubic feet of gas.
 Melvin Naniman. who will lead his crew of five men in the perilous journey across the waters. will not set any specific date for his departure but declares that just as soon as he . is ready he will start. This. in all probability, will be about the middle of this month. More than 100 ex- pert mechanics are working on the airship and every effort is being made to complete the big dirigible at the earliest possible moment
 Of the hundreds of visitors who appear at the hangar here daily many are curious to know why it is that the start across the Atlantic should be made in October MT Naniman. while the busiest man about the place. is always ready to answer any of the questions put to him.
 The reason we are crossing in October" said he. "is that the gov ernment charts show that the air currents are favorable at that time If we are lucky and should get good stiff wind. believe we could cross the ocean to Europe in two days"
 While Mir. Naniman is a scientist through and through and believes nothing unless il is supported by hard, cold facts and figures. he is of the opinion that his aeronauticaI cat. Trent" which accompanied the America" last year will bring him good fortune on the coming trip.
 Trent" is big good -naturcd looking cat and is guarded just as carefully by MT Vaniman as though he were the most valuable asset of the expedition. The feline mascot is kept indoors all the time and is never permitted to stray from the sight of the Vaniman family. He is very much attached to both Nani- man and Mrs. Naniman. In the ev- eniuC. when the engineer goes tO his cottage from the hangar, Trent
 is always at the door to meet him.
 Last year, when Mir. Naniman was preparing the America" for its at tempt to cross the ocean. a little, forlorn kitten was found in sack. The owner evidently had prepared him for a watery grave From the
 inside of the sack there occasionally came a plaintive "meouw" The en- ginccr's sympathics were immediately aroused and he rescued the kitten.
 Kitten" said Mir Vaniman. who can almost talk the cat language, you're going to have trip that no other cat before ever had. I'm go-
 ing to take you along in the 'Amcri- ca.
 And so Kitten" as he was then called became a member of the Nani- man family and when the America scared from the shores of Atlantic City last year he was among those present After the abandonment of the arship and the rescue by the steamer Trent" it was decided to give the cat the name of the boat. Since then he has borne the name of Trent and has waxed fat and proud in his position as the Vaniman mas cot.
 And SO. when the Akron" flies away across the ocean Trent will have a place of honor in the lifebOat, where a warm, cosy nest will be made for him.
