FROM RAGS TO ROBES"
EVANGELIST,S TALK
The Popular Lecture Of Billy Will
Iams at Methodist Protestant
Church Tomorrow Night.

The Drummer Evangelist" Billy
Williams, will give his address en-
titled From Rags to Robes" in the
Methodist Protestant church tomor-
row, Wednesday night, at 7:30
o'clock. This church is located at the
corner Of Twelfth and Exchange.
The name of this theme was sug-
gested to the evangelist by the Rev.
DIR. Robbins, pastor Of Lincoln Park
Baptist church, Cincinnati, Ohio. The
nucleus for this talk comes from per-
sonal experiences in the life of the
evangelist. He says very beautifully:
When l came to God my coat
was sold, but am pleased to say that
after | accepted Christ as my Savior
/ got all kinds of coats; short, long,

st will be pleasing sight to see
the unnumbered multitude dressed as
God would dress them All will sit
down at the banquet when Jesus
serves, and God will wipe all tears
from our eyes"
This meeting will be for men and
women. Everybody is invited and
urged to come, no other enga gements

MANY FIRMS COMPETE
Favorable Opinion Of City Attorney

Opposition Has Been
Withdrawn.

The opinion to be submitted by
Theodore Craig, as city attorney, is
the, only obstacle in the development
OF Keokuk's white way. according to
information from the leaders In the
movement this morning.
An estimate was received from a
Des Moines firm some time ago in re-
gard to the installation of bunch
lights at stated intervals on the prin-
cipal downtown streets of the city
and today, an expert from st. Louis is
in the city preparing estimates for
the work. The latter part of the
week man representing the Gener-
al Electric Company will be here from
Chicago and his figures will also be
considered, and several firms have
been asked to furnish estimates as to
the cost of the work.
City Attorney Craig has been asked
about the legality of the installation
Of the lights and upon his opinion de-
ponds the ultimate success or failure
of the plans - the leaders in the
white way" movement lie will is
sue his opinion some time within the
next few days. it Is said.
One OF the white way enthusiasts
said today that practically all the op-
position to the lighting system had
been removed and that it only remain
ed for Mr.. Craig to issue 2 favorable
opinion for the wheels to be set in
motion and the project become an ac-
complished fact. Several men have
become interested in the movements
and are working with might and main
to overcome the objections Of few in
regard to the proper lighting of the
business section of the city.
AS stated in The Gate City some
time ago, the plans call for bunch
lights from the levee to Fourteenth
street on Main, from the Keokuk- Ham
| ilton bridge to the union depot on
Water street, from Third to Seventh
on Blondeau and from Second tc
Eighth on Johnson. All intersectine
streets from Johnson to Blondeau are
also to be equipped with the lights.
The posts are to be of iron, eight tc
twelve inches in diameter, and vii
support five globes at the top. All the
wiring is to be underground and vii
make Keokuk the best lighted city Of
its size in the state.
The men at the head of the lighting
project say that the estimates receiv
ed do not show any great difference il
cost, from the estimates secured from
several cities which havs installed {
several cities which have installed {
expect many bids lower than the
cost of installation elsewhere.
