CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-James A. Pat
ten. former king of the wheat pit, and
now retired with millions which he
made out of successful grain corners,
will give his most precious possession
on Christmas day 1t Is his daughter,
Miss Agnes Patten, and the recipient
is Lawrence Russell Wilare, of Evans
ton, Ill.
In the midst of wedding prepare
tons tonight, Patten said:
Il am glad Agnes is to marry an
American j wouldn't allow a daugh
ter of mine to wed a title, and Just
two things have continually worried
me-the possibility that I might have
to stand for title in the family, and
inevitable pursuit by fortune hunters,
American men make the best hus,
bands in the world AS FOR the title
business well, what's the use?
Were going to have simple wed
ding for the couple-one reason being
that display is vulgar and makes 9TH
ers envious. OF course, the wedding
could be made scene OF great pomp,
but that wouldn't be anything. The
least we can afford to do on this happy
event is to set good example"
The prospective groom is wealthy in
his own right.

First Holiday Party.

i i
7 Something entirely new in deco
rative features and something quite
novel in the form of moon dance
were presented by the eight young
hostesses, the Misses Laura Alton,
Madeline McGrath, veda Alton, Elean-
or Moody, Olive Morgan. Ruth Evans,
Mary Rubidge and Celestine Agnew in
their pretty dancing party at Wood
man hall Friday evening, which in
augurated the series of holiday social
festivities which the younger set will
enjoy.
The decorations were most season
able and proved tribute to the in
genuity Of the clever hostesses. If
you've ever been in the far north,
where they have winter almost the
year around, only then could the won
derful scene presented be thoroughly
appreciated. Artificial icicles were
hung about the hall, giving the large
interior a true wintry color The
stage was thinly yelled by an impro-
vised falling OF snow and off in one
cOru0F was uoHslrouS SHOW HAL
with arms outstretched and black
derby perched proudly upon his head
4 It was this snow man which playeu
the prominent part in the two moon
dances SO greatly enjoyed When the
hall was darkened for the dances
the incadescent lights in the snow
man burst forth with their rays
throwing light which fairly glistened
from the white decorations of the
pretty ball room
The programs bore a design of a
snow man and were in black and
white. At the punch bowl the Misses
Ruth Hamill and Myrtle Davidson
presided.

WILL MAKE SCIENCE
OF LAUNDRY BUSINESS
Power City Laundry ModernIy Equip
ped and Ready for Business at
1901 johnson Street.

An up-to-date steam laundry, thor
oughly modern in every particular,
is the newest of Keokuk business en-
terprises and one of the finest OF
those institutions in the state to be
opened by local citizen, Messrs John
DeYong and Henry Sanders.
This new stem laundry is located at
1901 Johnson street and in progress
with the times and the future city of
electrical energy, the proprietors have
rightly named their establishment
the Power City Laundry
Though ones knowledge of modern
mechanism may be lacking in some
particulars, it is not difficult to appre-
.ciate the completeness of the laundry
of Mr. DeYong and Mr.. Sanders. An
inventory of the well-lighted, neatly
and comfortably arranged business
place gives the immediate impression
that work turned out by these laun-
derers will be the cleanest and best
up-to-the-minute appliances can do.
AS superintendent of their plant,
the owners have secured H. F. Good
win probably the most expert laun-
dryman the city has known in num-
Der of years, to take charge Mr.. Good
win has for the past two years been
associated with the Zagelmier Bros,
of Hastings, Mich, as manager of the
laundry of that place and under his
supervision, the new Keokuk Power
City laundry is expected to obtain and
maintain a standard of excellency
that is par with the fittest Mr.. Good
win was formerly in the laundry bust
ness here and his capability is well
known.
The wash room and places where
steam is necessary in cleansing all
grades and kinds of clothes, will be
apart from the ironing, drying and
other departments of the laundry
The power machinery has been com.
pletely installed and after proper OBJ.
servance of Christmas day, the es.
Enlistment will be open and ready for
business bright and early Tuesday
morning.
Some idea of the modern appliances
which will be used in the Power City
laundry may be gained when it is
known that the mechanism and other
equipment cost more than $4,000.
Everything is the best that money can
purchase and careful attention will
keep the business machinery well oil
ed that satisfaction may be guaran-
teed assurance from first to last.
The custom of prompt and efficient
collection and delivery of laundered
articles will be a feature of the new
business. Any and all kinds of laun-
dry work can be and will be perform
ed In the latest of this kind of the
city's business.
Mr.. DeYong who for thirteen years
was one Of the city's largest retail,
grocers and his partner, Mr.. Sanders,
prominent hotel man, intend they
shall be deserving of the patronage
which has been promised them and
will steadily enlarge itself during the
years to come.

CANNOT AGREE
ON THE PLAN
Aldrich and vreeIand Said to Be Ovid
ed over Currency
Reform.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, Dec. PA break
in the Aldrich currency reform move
ment between former Senator Aldrich,
chairman, and Representative vree-
land, vice chairman, of the monetary
commission, caused lively stir in
congressional and financial circles.
1t had a shocking effect because of
the harmony that apparently attend
ed all the deliberations of the official
monetary commission The belief has
been general that Aldrich had sue
ceeded in lining up his colleagues, to
an endorsement at least, of his plan
and only minor differences existed
among the members.
Aldrich was reported tonight to be
in New York and vreeland at his
home in Salamanca, New York. max
ing them beyond the reach Of inquiry
by those eager to get the details of
the row.
There is a general conviction, how
ever, that the split has arisen over
ownership of stock in one bank by an
other, or is due to conflicting opinion
as to the extent of government control
over the National Reserve association
proposed by the plan.
1t is regarded as significant that
both these points were covered by
President Taft in his message of
Thursday to congress. The president
led off in the section of the message
devoted to monetary reform, with gen.
eral terms of approval Of the Aldrich
plan AS to the reserve association
the message said:
Exactly how the management OF
that association should be organized
( is a question still open. 1t seems to
be described that the banks which
would own the association should in
the main manage it. 1t will be an
association of the banks to act fol-
them. and they can be trusted better
than anybody else chiefly to conduct
it. 1t is mainly bankers work"
Then came the striking sentence:
But there must be some form of gov
eminent supervision and ultimate
control and favor reasonable rep
resentation of the government in the
management"
AS the president was well aware o
the provision for government repre-
sentation management of the reserv,
association and in the Aldrich plaT
as it stands, his demand for ultimat,
control, by the government" Is taker
to mean that he Is not satisfied will
the present provision in the bill.
President Taft also plainly said tina
he was opposed to interlocking owner
ship of bank stock. He covered this
point in sentence In his message II
which he said:
1T trust that the new Legislation
will carefully and completely protec-
and assure the individuality and the
independence of each bank, to the
end that any tendency there may evel
be toward consolidation of the
money or banking power of the ma
tion.
he pFODaDlilty III the SITUATION, &C
cording to general sentiment tonigh
is that Vreeland stands by Taft or
the question Of government contro
and bank ownership and that Aldricl
Is of a contrary opinion. Secretar,
of the Treasury MacVeagh has made
number of criticisms of the Aldricf
plan All these have been answered
| by Aldrich, it is said, except Mac
| veagh's expressed opposition to the in
terlocking ownership of bank stocks

vocal music, that he had discovered
in her practice with him, that she had
reached F. sharp in altissimo, which
is four notes higher than high c.. the
usual highest range of the average
singer of today.
Miss, Darling's high note Is remark
able in this respect that it is the vocal
limit of by-gone days. The note has
only been reached before by Patti.

who have reached this note in opera
