members Of the choir. The sermon by

| -Editorially written, but breezy
enough written to make q news item
| of, the Burlington Hawk-Eye this
morning said Of interest to Keokuk
E1kdom and its friends: The corner
stone OF the Keokuk Elks building
was laid without any impressive cere
monies few days ago. The Keokuk
Elks are going to invest $4,000 in
that building If that Is the kind OF
a building that they are planning, they
will probably have 100000 or $4,000
invested by the time the building il
completed. Being modest men, the
Keokuk Elks preferred to make nc
fuss over the beginning of their big
undertaking. But there will be some
burning of red fire, and some cheer
ing and singing, and some more red
fire, when that structure Is completed
and ready for business. The festivi
ties and the excitement and enthusi
asm will throw everything into the
shade that has ever happened in Keo
kuk, and the opening of the big works
on the dam will appear very trivial
affair. as compared with the dedica
ton OF that new Elks home.
