IN MEM oRiAM.


On Friday morning, November 20,
1912, at 1920 o'clock at her homo
near Montrose, occurred the death of
Mrs. Sarah Jane Wright. She was
eighty-seven years Of age.
For several years before her death
she had been in declining health. On
Sabbath morning preceding her
death she was taken with a stroke Of
pariysis She rapidly sank into I'M
consciousness and on Friday the end
came.
In the death Of Mrs. Wright, Lee
county loses one Of it's oldest resi-
dents and sanity mothers. She was
born May 4, 1925, near West Union,
Adams County, Ohio. She was the
youngest in family Of three broth
ers and FIVE sisters, all of whom have
preceded her to the grave.
In 1876 the family moved west, com.
I ing to Lee county, Iowa. Here Mrs

and daughters there are twenty-one
grandchildren, and eleven great grand
children.
On March 2, 1899 her husband died.
Since then Mrs. Wright has made her
home with her daughter, Mrs. A. d.

From an early age Mrs. Wright has
been active in church work. She
first became a member OF the Sc.
Iceeders church. Later on at the
time of the union of the various
branches of the Presbyterian church,
she became member OF the United
Presbyterian church.

POsTOFFICE rs GAINING

Months.

The receipts at the Keokuk postof-
flee continue to tell an encouraging
story of the commercial, industrial
and financial progress Of the city.
There are nothing like facts to con-
vince the doubling.
It is very gratifying to The Gate
City, the paper that boosts Keokuk all
the time, to be able to present the
rapid progress of Keokuk in a tang
ible, convincing way. 1t is easy to
shoot off boasts gathered from doubt

dreams and tell them, but their effect
banishes like bubble. When the
postoffice department opens its books
to the public and gives figures, they
drive away all room for doubt.

comment, The usual gain a. the Keo-
kuk postoffice has been about $3.50
per month. The gain in the past two
months has been about $4,000. The

Attitude of Fans and Directors
May be Cause Of Death Of
Organized Baseball in
Keokuk.
MEETING WAS A FAILURE
Five Cities Will Make a Strong
Bid for Keokuk Club if
So, 800 is Not Raised
by the First.

Within the last twenty-four hours,
the impression has gained great
deal of credence that Keokuk will do
without baseball next year. This is
the opinion of majority of fans who
have been sounding the supporters of
the game in Keokuk and their decis-
ion is that baseball of the league va
fiety has been seen for the last time
in Keokuk for some years.
A meeting OF the new directors,
which was scheduled for yesterday,
was called Off on account OF the in
ability of Mr.. Tumelty to get them
together. There also seems to be a
big doubt as to the willingness of sew
eral of the men to serve on the di-
rectorate. Louis Sterne has declared,
positively, several times that he
would not take the place, but it was
thought that he would bow to the
wishes of the fans if they would show
sufficient interest in the game.
John Tumelty, who called the meet
ing yesterday, and who has been the
choice Of the new members for presi-
dent of the association. said today
that he was unwilling to serve IN any
capacity if the directors and fans OF
the city showed the lukewarm feeling
in the matter as they have done 80
far. He intinated that the enthus-
iasm shown during the past few
weeks was merely for the purpose OF
sounding out the public and was not
the real feeling of any of the mer
connected with the affairs of the as
sociation.
Another thing that Is causing trou
BILE is the resolution, offered by Johi
Nagel, at the recent meeting Of tn
fans, in which the matter of raisin
money was embodied. The resolution
in effect says that unless the fans G
the city subscribe $1,000 for the SUI
port of the club before January
1913, there shall be no baseball i
Keokuk next summer.
That it will be impossible to rails
this amount before the first of nes
month is readily admitted and if til
resolution is carried out to the lette
baseball is dead issue in Keoku
right now. Many persons who ha,
hitherto given literally to the suppo
of the club have come out fatfoote
and said that unless they could
shown where the $4,000 was to
raised, they would not contribute
