FIT. MADISON BOY
SUFFERS INJURY
Several Stitches Had to be Taken In
His Tongue Which He Bit
When He Fell.

FIT MADISON. Dec. 1o.-Master
Arnold Boeding, the young son of Mr..
and Mrs. +. X. Boeding of 405 Second
street, suffered {. most peculiar and
unusual injury while at play yesterday
The young fellow is a sch lar at St
Joseph's parochial school and while
in usual boyish activities at about
noon he fell. Just an accidental fall
which any boy is in the habit of being
subject to but it left him with a
strange injury of badly cut tongue.
The wound could not be explained
further than he had closed his teeth
on that organ and bit it In the fall.
The injury was such that 1t required
several stitches by physician and is
not serious further than causing con-
siderable inconvenience.

The companies have issued labels
reading do not open until Christmas
and this. they say, removes the last
objection to shipping early. There is
hardly anything quite so disappointing
as to have Christmas presents delay

WON MANY HoNoRs

The Keokuk delegation of the older
Toys of the Young Mems Christian
Association returned from the state
convention of Older Boys of the asso-
citation last night, wearing their.
scalps apparently undisturbed. They
are feeling buoyant and full of hope
that they have won the next conyen-
tion for Keokuk. Usually the place
Tor the next meetings Of the associa-
ton are selected by the preceding
conventions, but unexpectedly to the
Keokuk boys it had been determined
to leave the matter to the state com
mittee and the place for the next
meeting will be selected by that com
mittee. The boys seem well satisfied
with this arrangement and still feel
sure that the convention will come to
Keokuk.
They report splendid time and be-
sides they had the distinction of hav-
ing their pictures in body presented
in a Des Moines afternoon paper,
which honor was not shared with any
other delegation attending the con
vention They are well pleased with
their visit and feel sure that they
left vivid impression at the capital
city that Keokuk is on the -Keo
Rtk, the site OF the big Mississippi
dam, the city of splendid homes, large
accumulation of substantial buildings
of historical and biographical fame
and possessing some of the finest and
most attractive landscape scenery tc

it does from three states-Iowa, Mis-

The collieries and iron foundries Of

cause he was drunk. His fellows in.

Interesting Report.

From the time the fellows left the
"Y'' building, their spirits were al
ways at the highest. They made the
tedious journey of eight hours seem
short, with their yells and songs, and
oftimes the appreciatiye fellow pas
sengers gave them an applauding
hand.
Arriving in the capital city near
midnight, the delegation Immediately
sought the Y. NJ. c. A. building, where
refreshing rest was enjoyed in the
splendid dormitories Friday morning
found the boys UP early, and ready
for business.
Registration did not begin until
two o'clock in the afternoon, SO the
fellows started out to see the city.
just as they were leaving the Y. M.
G. A. building, the staff photographer
OF the Tribune, tested the stamina of
his machine, b.. swapping" the bunch,
and in consequence there was a STAN
pede to obtain the evening paper.
The boys were entirely satisfied with
the RESULT e on the front page, at the
top, appeared large picture of their
bright and shining faces" heralded
with the statement: THE first dele
cation to arrive eokuk.''
Armed with cameras, the fellows
arrived at the capital building good
and early. The building received q
| thorough inspection from the base
ment to the very heights of the gild-
ed dome The Historical building
received the same rigid examination
and the boys pronounced themselves
as being proud of their state build
ings.
At 2 p. m. the Keokuk delegation
were on hand to register, and here
they were the first to place thei,

names on record as members Of the
conference.
Friday evening, the conference be-
gan in earnest, with a banquet sery-
ed by the Des Moines Y. M. C. A..
Four hundred and twenty plates were
placed. Before the "eats" were serv-
ed, and between courses, the large
hall rang with cheers and song, and to
a spectator it probably seemed more
OF a football mass-meeting than re-
ligious conference. But now that
miraculous thing occurred which can
only occur with strong-minded, serious
fellows, they turned from the youth
full, boisterous enthusiasm to the rev.
erent and attentive. The Iowa state
college quartette sang, and were en-
cored twice. Following, DR.. Rowland
Hanson gave splendid address, The
Price of Excellence" This address
gave the delegation the proper atti-
tude toward the work to be done at
the conference and the Keokuk boys
entered into the spirit.
Saturday afternoon during the rec
reation period the Keokuk fellows
made their names famous.
John HUDSON and Jewett Fulton en-
tered the swimming contests and car
ried Off all honors They took every
first in sight, and after the contest
was over, sighed for more worlds to
conquer.
While these two fellows were plac-
ing Keokuk to the front in swimming,
Captain Gerard Huiskamp with Joe
LaFaivre, Jacob Blom, George Hoff-
man, Albert jenkins, were unfolding
the basket ball honors. After defeat
ing Clarinda and Waterloo, the boys
had to take defeat at the hands OF
East Des Moines, with score OF
al to 10, and be satisfied with second
place. But in view of the fact that
ten teams entered the tournament
the Keokuk boys feel satisfied with
second honors.
With Keokuk now written high
above all other delegations, the boys
thought it proper to start the boost
/ ing for the next conference, and boost
they did. Pictures of the dam were
used, also explanatory literature. ane
| this backed up with the Keokuk dele
cation, enthusiasm made a booster
spirit that boosted. And the boys are
assured that they will entertain the
sixth annual conference for Oldel
Boys
/ During the entire conference ever!
member of the delegation carried
note book and used it. The goot
things that these note books contain
will be offered to the other boys AM
men of the city before long. Boy
Secretary Chapman expects to have
big meeting which will be conducted
entirely by the members of the dele
cation. A date will be announced a
the proper time.
The Keokuk boys are highly pleased
with the entertainment they received
in the hospitable homes of the De
Moines people, and are anxious TO
the opportunity to return the favor il
4 a practical way.
AS a result of the conference tn
boys department of our local associa
ton will undoubtedly make grea
strides in the forward march of prog
ress, and Keokuk people may expec
much from her boys connected viii
the department.
