Public Speaker.

He was a speaker of no mean pre-
tentions and on many occasions has
been invited to address large gather
ings. He was precise and logical in
his speeches and what was value to
every man who addresses an audience
he had the force of sincerity, of be-
lieving firmly in the principles which
he advocated.
In his personal intercourse he was
polite and dignifed and always true
to his friends and what he conceived
was right. He will be sadly missed in
g community where he has played SC
prominent part, especially by those
who recognized his wisdom and judg.
ment and looked to him for advice.
On February 90, 1874, he was mar
ried in Keokuk to Miss Emma B
Carter and to them were born two sons
who died in infancy The wife sur
wives him. He Is also survived by one
sister, Mrs. j. r. Benthan. of Keokuk
He was for many years member
OF the Seventh Street Baptist church
but at the time of his death was con
nected with the Union Baptist church
He was also a member of the colored
Masonic lodge of Keokuk.
For many years he was faithful
and enthusiastic member of the Keo
kuk fire department And this proved
his undoing. About three years age
he met with an accident in the per
Torrance of his duty and six months
later, about two and one-half years
ago came the climax of his injuries
in performing his duties at fire. II
was at the c., B. & O. coal chute on
the levee where heavy timber came
crashing down upon him, inflieting q
wound from which he never recovered
and which pursued him to his death
No higher praise can be bestowed UP
OF any man than to say of him that
he did his duty well and faithfully.

FOR YEARS A RESIDENT
Suffered Long From injuries Recelv.
ed While Performing His
Duties In the keokuk
Fire Department.

At 2:15 o'clock yesterday Daniel
Webster Anderson, resident of Keo-
kuk for nearly fifty years and one OF
the most prominent and Influential
colored citizens OF the city and state,
after an affliction OF nearly three
years duration. passed away at his
home, I'LL Fulton street His trouble
was not of the kind to keep him CON
fined to his home and he was not OF
the species to fold his hands in the
spirit of dependency. His vocation
was that Of plasterer, trade he fol-
lowed here from young manhood until
he was prevented by an accident to
pursue his work regularly in that line,
but with courage which merits high
commentator he labored just as long
as the pain he suffered suspended its
ravages and gave him favored re-
spite. Only very short time ago, he
was working and when he had con-
cluded the job he appeared almost
Frustrated.
Daniel w. Anderson was born on a
farm near Palmyra, Mo-, in 1858, and
came to Keokuk with his parents dur
ing the civil war when a boy, and
commenced his honorable career here
He was well known to the people of
Keokuk and was leader among his
race. He was active in everything he
undertook. AS member of the Bap-s
tist church he was looked to for coun-
sell In politics his word was always
needed among the colored people of
the city. His acQuaintanceship was
not confined to Keokuk but he was
known in many parts of Iowa and even
beyond the borders OF the state. He
had been a church leader and poten-
tial in his political party which ex-
! tended beyond county conventions,
and invariably acquitted himself with
much credit to himself and honor to
I the body who elected him. While a
leader among his race he had no as
pirations to be a boss. He used per-
suasion as his weapon, he endeavored
I by reason to convince his follows of
the correctness Of his views.

of many years ago.
Around the quadrangle are the
main buildings of all the divisions
except that of the College of Agricul-
ture. Academic Hall is the home of
the students in Arts and Science. 1t
is a building of four floors surmount-
ed by tall dome out of the sight of
which the students say it is impos-
sible to get while in the vicinity of
Columbia. In this building recita-
tiOns are heard and lectures given in
different subjects leading to the A.
b. degree. The home of the School
of Education and the Graduate
School are also in Academic Hall.
The School of Education maintains
two Schools preparatory school
and an elementary schoOl-as labor
atOries for students in Education.
Academic Hall is at the south of
the campus; near it on the west side
is the building that turns out as it's
product civil. electrical, mechanical
and chemical engineers. 1t is
building of machinery, of steam
engines and of electrical apparatus.
1t has an industrial air about it.
The journalists have a building
where the patter of typewriters sound
all day in the busy preparation of
news stories" and advertising copy
for the daily newspaper which is
their laboratory production.
The Law Building is the place
where law students not only attend
classes; it is where they get together
in friendly discussion. 1t contains
the law library with its $4,000
sheepskin bound volumes. 1t, too, is
the home of the practice court in
which practice is given in the actual
of cases.
In connection with the College of
Arts and Science there are separate
for Chemistry and for Geol-
ogy and Zoology.
The College OF Agriculture has a
small town of buildings. There are
classroom buildings and laboratory
buildings, buildings for veterinary
science. horticulture, hog cholera

how well the people appreciate the
efforts of the state in higher educa-

in 1899.
Columbia is its home. The city
has a population of 10000. The

elements must be considered. The
University of Missouri has attended
to them in no half hearted way. 1t

it to offer the student?
Almost whatever line of work you
wish to take up, you may get your
needs in education supplied at the
University. 1t is state university
and stands for all the needs of the
state. Its different departments
were organized in response to needs.
There are Colleges of arts and Science
and of Agriculture, there are schools
of Education, Engineering, Medicine,
Journalism, Law and a Graduate

One OF the greatest helps 10 young
men at the University in reducing
living expenses is the University
Dining Club, which furnishes table
board at cost to students.
About 450 men students are men,
bers and the total cost to each is
about $3.50 a week Each man paws
$25 for service and other expenses
at the beginning of the year and also
pays about $1.75 week for actual
cost of food. About thirty-five STU
dents earn their board there by wait
ing on tables or washing dishes.
The dining club is run jointly BY
the students and the University. 1t
is under the supervision of a dormi-
tory board appointed by the Board of
Curators of the University. This
board appoints general managed
who has charge of all the buying and
other business details. The men,
bers of the club elect a council of
students consisting of president,
yice-president and secretary, which
sets aside the amount to be spent
each week and has charge of the
government. The general manager
serves on this board. The Uniyer-
sity gets no income from the club;
1t is run entirely on cost basis
merely to pay its expenses.

WHAT'S BEST TO FEED STEERS
Experiments at Nj. l.. Show Profit in
Various RatiOns.

Experiments at the Missouri Ex-
pertinent Station on twenty-four
steers to find out the relative value
of feeding show that cattle fed with
shelled corn, cOttonseed meal, corn
silage and clover hay bring the feed
er the most profit.
Twenty-fOur steers We're pur.
chased at the Kansas City Stock
Yards last November at $5.S5 a
hundredweight. The cattle were d.
vided as unifOrmally as possible into
four lots. Lot / was fed shelled
corn. linseed oil meal, corn silage
and clover hay; lot was fed shelled
corn, cotton seed meal, corn silage
and clover hay; lot was fed shelled>
corn. cold pressed cotton seed cake
and clover hay; and lot 4 was fed
shelled corn. corn silage and clover
hay.
The steers We're sold ON the Chi

ing prices: lot 1. $685.: lot 2, $3.50;
lot 3. $50; and lot 4, $S.25. The

to Chicago was: lot 1, 22.I7 pounds
a steer; lot 2. 1916; lot 3. 26.33;
