the first excursion trip Of the season
to that city. More than 800 took the
ride on the Take"
Because it was impossible to make
the trip Saturday night to the upper
ports between Keokuk and Burling
ton, the Dubuque had to pick up ant
discharge freight during the run OF
Sunday. Consequently the boat was
late on It's arrival here, pulling int
the harbor several hours late. Tit

RACE AGAINST DEATH
IN AN AUTOMOBILE
Thrilling Night Drive to an Illinois
Home Made by Harold Hart
With Lady Passenger.

Receiving a message last night
about 1890 that her mother was
dying at her home, ten miles beyond
Carthage, Miss Alladay was rushed to
the home in an automobile in an eff
fort to reach her mother before she
died. Harold Hart drove the car
which belongs to c. s. Pond. at a
speed of more than fifty miles an hour,
hardly slowing down on the journey
at any point.
During the wild drive and race
against death, Miss Alladay kept urging
Hart to drive the car at greater
speed, in her anxiety to reach home,
not realizing the great danger of the
speed at which they were going. When
they reached the home her mother was
still alive. They had won the race.

The Swimming School.

The free swimming school at the
Young Mems Christian association
opened this morning in the most en-
couraging manner There were four
classes of about twenty-five boys
in each and there was lots
of sport. Physical Director Ors-

in the school,
Swimming is very necessary ac-
complishment, especially for boys
along the banks of the broad Missis-

of the city and the no less dangerous
waters which washes one end of the
city. The sad accident occurring Sat
urday afternoon, in which one lad
was taken from, a Keokuk household
was an emphasized object lesson to
teach wildly the lesson that every
boy In Keokuk should be as expert As
possible in the art of swimming.
1t seems that the parents and boys
of Keokuk have come to realize this
fact and are enthusiastic advocates of
the free swimming school inaugurated
by the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation. Some of the boys Of the
classes showed a little timidity at
first but soon gained confidence in
their tutors

MUCH MONEY GIVEN
BY THE ADVENTISTS
Extract From the Report Of Seventh
Day Adventsts Now at Wash
Ington, Received Here.

During the past four years the Sab
bath schools of the Seventh day Ad-
ventists denomination In North Amer
lea gave 632.77S.3o for the further
'ance Of the gospel in foreign lands, &C.
cording to a report rendered by Sec
Rotary George B. Thompson, before
the delegates at the world conference
of Seventh day Adventists now in
session in Washington, D. g. An ex-
tract of this report has been received
by Mrs. W. e. Bates, secretary Of the
Sabbath school OF the local Adventist
church, and the members were much
interested in the progress mentioned
in it.
During the quadrennial period OF
1905-190S, the Sabbath schools gave
$273,1 to missions, the increase over
this amount during the quadrennial
period ending in 1912 being s359,636.
The motto adopted at the present
session of the general conference for
the coming four years was "a Million
Dollars to Missions" The report
further showed that In 1908 the de-
nomination had 3,747 Sabbath schools,
200 of which were in foreign fields
and 2,47S in America.
During the four years of the gem
eral conference period, the schools
had grown to 4,467, of which 1,S45
were in foreign lands, and 2,o14 in
home fields, making an increase of
STA foreign and 1876 home Sabbath
schools since the last general con-
ference. Four years ago there was
a membership in these Sabbath
schools of S8,S43, of which 22,011 We're
in the foreign fields. During the
quadrennial period there has been an
increase in membership Of 25,170, of
which 23,G7S has been in foreign
lands and 1,492 in the home fields, the
membership in the foreign fields
having doubled during the past four
years.
During the four years 3,542 of the
Sabbath school scholars have been
converted, and most of them baptised,
Since 1867 when the first deposit for
missions was made by the schools,
they have donated s1,3t3,5S0 for mis-
sions. The record of offerings to mis-
sions in 1912 from the Sabbath schools
was said to be especially encouraging,
as during the year s223,029 was given,
which was an increase of $71,54o over
1911. Four years ago the Sabbath
schools of the denomination were Civ
ing less than $4,000 week to mis-
sions; now they are giving almost S.,
1000 week.
| The members of the local Sabbath
school are especially interested in the
recommendations made to the gener
4 al conference which are as follows:
That attention be given as never
before to make the Sabbath schools
a great power in saving souls; that
some plan be devised at this confer
ence which will result in increased
study of the lessons; that the Sabbath
school workers training school be con
tinued: that the officers of the Sab
bath school be elected the same as
other church officers. and serve fol
one year instead of six months as al
present; and that the secretaries fol
the Sabbath school work in the var
ious conferences be chosen who car
give their entire time to that work

GOOD BUT UNsEAsoNED
Mound Man Joined Late and Had Lit
tie Practice This Season
Roman Can Find Job
Easy Enough.

Tommy Roman and Dutch" Burr
ham lost their jobs with the Keokuk
hall club this morning and now are
troe agents to sign with some other
team and at any place. Manush, man
ager Of the indians, has been dissatis
sed with the work Of Roman for sever
Il weeks but because Of being Grip
Med in the lineup, has been forced to
retain Roman.
The former second baseman knows
baseball and has been heavy hitter
1t times but his pace has slowed up
ylsibly in the last month. Last year
when he played with. Hannibal, he
was one Of the fastest players in the.
circuit and his record was good. He
simply has not hit his usual stride
but is expected to sweat out and into
better swing as the weeks pass.
Durham gwork yesterday was not
neasing to the fans and the only al
tentative Manush saw was to lie. the
southpaw go. Another pitcher will
,oin the team at Muscatine and a
southpaw to replace Burnham will be
picked up If possible. Burnham came
TO the local club late and prior to his
arrival had but little to do. which
probably accounts for his inferior
j showing here.
Jack on Second Base.
Clarence Jack who has shown that
he has something in him by his work
back of the stick since jenkins was
crippled, will play second base. Jack
is a good man and will experience lit
tie difficulty in holding down second
base. it is expected that he will be
able to cover more territory than
Roman did.
