Y.W.C.A. NOTES


The Shamrock girls excursion to
Quincy on the steamer w. w. leav-
Ing here a. o'clock this morning
was we'll patronized Notwithstanding
the sky was not as promising for a
delightful day as was wished. Every
thing possible was arranged to make
the day enjoyable. Refreshments
were prepared in bountiful quaint
ties from the most substantial to the
delicious kind. Besides there were
ample provision for games and other
diversions to suit all manner of tastes.
The Shamrock girls do not accom-
p.ish things by halves. Their best
ambition is in everything they under
take. They have the enterprIsing
spirit of new Keokuk and whether it
be steamboat excursion or building
a forty thousand dollar new Y. w. C.
A. home, all their energies are in
the work The part they promise is
always attended with success. They
do not wait for Luck to come along
to aid them, but throw out the line,
lasso Luck and bring 1t to taern, by
sheer force Of tact and energetic and
persistent work. Those who were
forced by circumstances to remain
at home are today feeling somewhat
envious Of those who are happy in
the friendly joy and jollity the Sham

with which he initiates the sounds of

Gradually the Indians are coming

Ottumwa series this week and Davey

MORE FROM CARNEGIE
Washburn Will Try to Raise $4,000
and Get $4,000.

For some time plans have been I'M
der way by the trustees and some of
the friends of Washburn college to
secure $4,000 from Mr.. Carnegie. 1t
involves Washburn raising a balance
of 5000 of a fund that was origi-
nally 100000.
Fifteen thousand will bring fifty
thousand.
At the executive committee Thurs
day the campaign was undertaken
and a committee appointed to handle
it-consisting of w. w. Mills. A. A.
GODDARD. Robert Stone and George
Guild.
The plan is to go to work at once
and as nearly as possible complete
this fund - week.
1t has been six years since Wash
burn has been in a canvass for funds
and in that time the college has
grown marvelously-
Topeka is justly proud of Wash

lieve that the friends of the college
will not fail in this interesting crisis

Washington, April 13.-Mexican
rebels are rapidly rousing the ire of
this government and while no steps
of retaliation have been discussed. it
isalmost certain the reVoIutionists
will never obtain sympathy or recog-
milton. Interference of the rebels with
official mail of Am erican consuls, ana
the summary execution of Thomas
Fountain, an American gunner, in de-
iance of protests from this country,
have caused a feeling of annoyance
ticaIly powerless at present to compel
more courtesy from the rebels, 1t is
felt that a heavy reckoning is await

1t is the official view in Washington
that # the rebels made desperate by
the failure to secure supplies neces-
sary to a successful campaign, are
trying to force intervention in Mexico,
their deliberate intentions are doomed
to failure.

Nashua, n. H, April 13.-"This is
straight lineup between the people
on the one side and the professional
politicians on the other said Colonel
Roosevelt, in his New Hampshire
speeches today. II ask you people of
New Hampshire who have taken tz&e
lead in the east in political progress,
not to slip back from your leadership.
Il have been able for the last Is
months to say in New York and else
where, follow New Hampshire 1 ask
you now to stand for the continuation
of that government"
In an address in the city hall, Col
onel Roosevelt told his hearers that if
his opponents won in this state the
bosses" would take heart and en-
deavor to overthrow the present adj
ministration. He referred to Senator
Gallinger as a type of the ''represen-
tative part of the people whom he
said President Taft wished to govern
the country.
Timothy Woodruff, one of the
minor bosses of New York state,' he
continued, said the other day that
the result of the primary in Illinois,
where We did them up, showed that
such matters ought to be left to the
cool, deliberate judgment of elderly
delegates. 1 wish L had Jimmy Wood

self the merit of the proposition he
advocates"

INSURES GOOD TIMES
Miners of Southeast Kansas to Renew
Contract.


Pittsburg, Kan, April 13.-The
miners of district IA voted yesterday
almost to a man to not go on strike
this summer. The differences between
the miners and operators are now be-
ing settled by the committee of the
miners and operators in Kansas City.
1t is expected that within the next
two weeks a new contract for the
coming two years will be signed by
the miners and operators. This will
mean a renewal of good times in the
entire coal mining districts of the
southeast Kansas coal fields.
In one of the locals at Mulberry,
where over one hundred miners voted
on the proposition to not go out, not
a dissenting vote was cast, every man
being in favor of continuing the work
for the next two years.

He HkenS the brain and nerve centers
to a supply tank with many outlets
The eyes being a direct outgrowth of
the brain requires more than 10 per
cent of all the nervous energy gener-
ated in the body or nearly one-half
of that of the brain. When defective,
heavy use of the eyes enlarges the
brain abnormally, and says up that
precious energy to the detriment of
other organs.
By esta blishing a healthy and nor
NAL condition in the eyes, remarkable
cures can be accomplished for organs,
seemingly remote from ones eyes. This
method is directly opposite from the
old time idea of treating all troubles
specifically.
