About Eight Hundred Guests

Night.
THE POPULAR SIX CLUB.
!, evening Of ExhIIlratIns Dances,
delightful Promenades and Other
Pleasures, Including
Splendid Supper.

The anticipated pleasure event of
tbe SIX Club was given Friday night /
and the success was far beyond ex-
nectations. 1t Is estimated that eight
hundred enjoyed the delightful pleas
ures Of the merry river ride and the
many features provided by the hospit-
oh,a hosts and the officers OF the
commodious steamer w. w. on which
hoat the excursion was given, one of
tho features being a splendid supper.
The name OF the club is suggested
bv the number OF members forming
the organization. They are: Robert
Creaves. Alex Getz, John Hitler, Owen
oNeill. Alba Mccoy and Joseph Nc
Andrews. who did everything in their
noWer for the convenience and pleas
ura Of the large number of guests
who honored them with their pres
ence
The good steamer left the Keokuk
shore at $50 o'clock and sailed like
swan down the placid waters of the
proud old Mississippi river, and pre-
sented a beautiful picture with its
brilliant lights shining in splendor
beneath which rang out the merry
voices OF the happy merry-makers.
AT Warsaw and points below other
guests we're welcomed aboard, and as
this expression has never been used
mo never in The Gate City before, 1t
is safe to say on this occasion, that
"all went merry as a marriage bell. /"
Agnes orchestra furnished delight
full music for the graceful and capti-
waiting dance and to entertain those
who avoided the May to stroll about
the cabin and other chosen points in
pleasant promenade or seated watch
ed the waving of the waters stirred
by the moving of the boat.
Lowering clouds in the early part
of the night gave signs of interfering
somewhat with the full measure OF
enjoyment. but soon they passed
away, the moon came out and the
stars shone With unusual brightness.
About 11.S0 o'clock the large and
happy party returned TO Keokuk
splendldly pleased with their even
ings trip amid such joyful environ
ments.

Burlington and Cedar Rapids who had
words of the highest praise for the
young pianist. There was universal
az recitation Of the fact that Mrs.
uses no ostentation, her
Icing marked by simplicity of
style and manner that betokens the
true musician. Quoting Cedar Rap
ids opinion: When Madam Hillberg
touched the keys. the piano began
to speak vital truths-life's shadows
and LIES sunshine.
Mrs. Hillberg will be heard to ex-
cellent advantage in the Beethoven
sonata, the movement covering all
shades of temperament. 1t is rarely
that we have the privilege of hearing
Beethoven, because musician con-
templates the work, of this master so
reverently that much thought and
time must be given before the con-
scientious pianist feels ready to in
terpret to the multitude.
Mrs. Hillberg will also play from
Chopin and Grieg, the latter promis-
ing to be especially fine because of
her natural sympathy with Scandi-
navian music.
When Mr.. Lewis draws the bow
across the strings of the violin, the
tone is SO pure the quality SO rich,
that it seems incredible that in the
days of long ago the instrument was
considered fit only for the uses OF
the evil one.
The numbers that Mr.. Lewis will
interpret are we'll selected. The
'vorspiel and Siciliana" alone would
have made the opera Cavalleria Rus

Chamberlain of Oregon Gives Up Fill buster and Send Deficiency Bill
 Over to Next Session

Washington, Aug 27-SenatoI Chamberlain of Oregon abandoned his filibuster against the adjournment ot Congress, with the understanding that the general deficiency bill, carrying state claims in which Oregon has an interest. go over until December. The House is believed to be agreed to that
 Senator La Follette's flibuster to force vote on the Penrose resolution was then the only apparent obstacle to adjournment.
 If it is decided to let the bill go until winter, l will consent to adjourn ment," said Chamberlain q will not consent. however, to it's passage with out the state claims"
 Maryland Virginia and Texas also are interested.
 T would like to go to Beverly but then, Washington isn't so bad after all,' was the way President Taft com mented on the situation
 The general deficiency bill carries about $6000.000. The Government s other creditors for that amount, in- cluding merchants in many cities, who have advanced supplies to the army and navy. will have to wait until De- cember for their pay if the measure is held over
 Neither House nor Senate assem- bled on time and neither mustered a quorum. It was said only 46 Senators were in the city, lacking two of quo rum. One of those, Senator Hepburn, was reported i'll.
 The first tilt in the Senate was over the reading of the journal of Satur- days allnight session. Senator La Toilette insisted on its being read in full.

HEARST T0 TELL II ALL
SAYS PENROSE'S STATEMENT IS
 "NOT QUITE ACCURATE"
Declares What Senator States Is Part ly True and Partly False-Wants
 Documents Produced.

London, Aug. 27.-William Ran. dolph Hearst, commenting on the Re publican expose. made the following statement:
 T have read in the foreign papers accounts of the explanation that Sen atOr Penrose has given of his receipt of certificate of deposit for $25.00O from the Standard Oil.
 q also have read Senator Penrose's statement of the purpose for which this secret certificate of deposit was intended and the use to which this sum of money and other sums of money from the Standard Oil were put.
 Senator Penroses explanation is not quite accurate. His statement Is not altogether doubtful. He is in part saying what is true and in part say ing what is false.
 T have the documents to prove my assertion.
 Senator Penrose should take warn ing of the fate of Senator Foraker and the predicament of that gentle man when he attempted to explain falsely the reason for which his cer- tificates of deposit from MT Archbold were received.
 Senator Penrose should also remem- Der the difficulty into which MT. Archbold got himself by making false statements in regard to some of the letters published inculpating certain Pennsylvania judges.
 T advise Senator Penrose, there. fore. to adhere to the exact facts and to speak the whole truth. for the whole truth will surely be brought out.
 Tt Is a notable fact that Senator Penrose confines his statements to allegations unsupported by legal proof. It is also worthy of note that MT. Archbold does not produce any of the interesting documents that he has in his possession to establish the truth of his utterances.
 MT. Archbold's word needs docu- mentary support"
