in letter published last week, corrects
some misstatements by Mr.. Pattangall,

the effect of the Underworld Wilson tar

cludes by saying that 1.-The people OF this
district cannot secure proper protection

That is self evident as to the Democratic
party, and in helping to elect Demo-
crat to Congress, which is all Mr.. Law
renee and his supporters can expect to
do, it will be accepted as an endorsement
by the voters of this district of tariff
policy which threatens to destroy the
sardlne industry and prove detrimental
to the farming and other interests OF
Maine, which were adequately protected
by Republican legislation. MIR. Peters
will oppose this policy and add to the Re

THE INFERNO OF
THE STEAM LAUNDRY
Girls Painting From the Terrific Heat
in Summer Time Is Very Com
mon Occurrence.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
ST. LOUIS. May 2S.-How the girls
in the laundries tainted from the ex-
cessive heat in the buildings and had
to be carried out on stretchers and
revived by physicians always Kept
within calling distance, was told to
the senate commission today at Its
session at the Planters hotel.
One girl, bundle wrapper at the
American Steam Laundry, 16 years
old, who is receiving s5.95 a week
said that during the summer months
the girls in that institution often
tainted at the folding and wrapping
tables. She said she remembered of
having counted six girls last summer
who were carried out and revived. No
emergency hospital is provided in this
laundry though physician is kept
within calling distance.
THE heat in the summer Is awful"
she said.
This girl said she began work when
| she was Ia years old, at $3.50 a week.
She said her increase in wages was
| due to the fact that her hours were
increased from eight to nine after she
had been working about year. She
| is helping her mother support the
family of three
The second girl from this laundry
said she began working when IA
years old because she didn't like to
go to school, though she didn't have
to work, as papa was working"

the Sunday afternoon groups where
lonely girls and girls away from home
find friends and place of refuge from
the utter loneliness of Sunday after
noon spent in a furnished room. And
can almost hear the echoes of the
Sunday songs and the yesper talk like
which there is nothing as helpful out
side the church.
And now comes the thrilling part
for as slip into the club room see
la laughing chattering crowd ofIn-
dians?--no, just Camp Fire girls with
their fringed dresses and honor beads.
AS they quiet down and form circle
around their three candles and tile
melody OF their chant rings out L just
wish | we're one of them.
Then the quiet rest room and the
rooms where any strange girl or
woman who has no place to stay over
might may sleep make their appeal to
me. Then comes the big auditorium
with Its possibilities for wholesome en-
itertainment and the rooms for classes
tc meet any need that may arise.
Bible classes, English classes, first
aid classes or millinery classes. But
u always go down to the basement be-
/ ffufe I leave and as slip by locker
and shower rooms ! can almost see
! the jolly groups of gym girls trooping
into the we'll equipped gymnasium
where fun and music, order and rythm
all go toward making attractive the
building up of physical endurance and
perfection for the womanhood OF
Keokuk.
My final peek is into the big base
ment room where the children can
laugh and play and learn many happy
helpful things and where, If we pos
sibly can. the young women, busy all
| day long, may array themselves in
white caps and aprons and learn to
cook wholesome and appetizing food
and have many an evening of good
time and good fellowship.
Il tell you the money for that
building has to come and no one can
say in the face of such a vision that
the work is not needed or that it is
not worth while. Keokuk will never
Ilet such a work as that fail and we'll
keep at it until all Keokuk pulls to-
gether to make it possible.
1.-THE reporter slipped away just
then but he felt like giving three
cheers for the courageous spirit of the
determined little woman aud three
more cheers for the people of Keo-
kuk who are making possible the work

RAISING MONEY
FOR DEFICIENCY
Movement to Add to the Appropria-
ton Made by the
Iowa Leslsla-
ture.
FOR VETERANS CAR FARE
To the Fifteenth Anniversary celebra-
ton-ApproprIation About $4,000
Short Of the
Demands.

1t has been talked about in many
circles and in the newspapers of the
state, that the appropriation made by
the Iowa legislature falls short about
$4,000 of being enough to carry out
the purpose Of paying transportation
of Iowa veterans to Gettysburg bat
tlefeld. No lawful plan has been
devised to raise the money to make
up the deficiency. The Des Moines
Capital newspaper has undertaken TO
raise the $4,000 needed to supply the
deficiency. That paper sent private
letter to Judge Henry Bank concern
ing the matter Iowans all agree that
it is not fair to send 220 veterans at
state expense and make 100 more who
are eligible to the same right, pay
their own way In the Capital letter it
said:
'The Capital will undertake to raise
the $4,000 needed. We want your
help. The Capital urges you to aid
in your neighborhood; first by making
a subscription of your own The Cap
ital has started the fund with $4450
enough to pay for the railroad
ticket of one old soldier. Any sum,
large or small, will be gladly received.
The money will be turned over imme-
diately to the state commission in
charge. The commission Is made up
of Adjutant General Guy E. Logan, As
sistant Adjutant General George New
man and Captain H. M Pickel."
1t is said that "a campaign will be
made by the Capital and by state off
ciais before the next general assem-
byl for an appropriation to reim-
burse all who subscribe to the fund,
and it is believed that the legislature
will make the appropriation" The
Capital frankly says:
I'm the event the legislature does
not appropriate the Capital will make
no claim for its subscription and asks
| you to subscribe on the same basis,
and adds: This is not charity but
patriotic movement made necessary
by an emergency.
This morning though very busy
Judge Bank laid the contents of the
letter before number of persons at
the court house and it was fully dis
cussed. At the request of the mem
bers OF the Grand Army, of the Re
public and a number of the members
of the bar, the matter of raising funds
was placed in the hands of Ed S. LOT
ton who is an active son of veteran
and though Mr.. Lotion is very busy
man, he accepted the charge and will
| do his best to have Keokuk do her
full duty in this emergency. Judge
Bank headed the list with subscrip
ton of SIS.
Subscriptions may be left at the
office of The Gate City or the Con
stitution- Democrat, with the assur
ance that they will find their way in.
to the hands of Mr. Lotion and will
be promptly forwarded to Des Moines
by him.

NEW YORK, May 23.-Prices fluc-

teday's uninteresting stock market,

important nor suggestive of any
change in sentiment. The strength of
Union Pacific came in for some dis

indicated that the liquidation of specu-

point, however, too much need not be
taken for granted since other sec

A Tribute to Senator Wright.

A Journal editorial of May 90, 1878:
Senator Wright is in the city on a
quiet visit to his children. Beyond
his family, however, there are many in
Sioux City who would bid the sena-
tor a hearty welcome to our town. In
the contest preceding his election to
the senate he had here as stanch
friends as anywhere in the state 1t
Is something to his honor that his
friends then are his tirmer friends
now. In all the trying positions In
which he has been placed he has
acquitted himself like man. He has
not brought to shame any honest man
who put faith in him. Therefore the
greetings he meets among friends
may we'll be cordial. From the very
outset of his career in the senate,
commencing with the forty second
congress, he took high position in that
body and few men of It's member
ship now stand higher for ability and
manly worth His whole career in
public life has been signalized by his
strict fidelity to the interests com
mitted to his care, and by love of
purity and virtue that no days have
dark enough to dim. Coming to Iowa
in it's earliest days, and his whole
life, comparatively, being known to
its people, the good name he has
made, and which was never more con-
spicuous than now may we'll be to him
the fullness OF glory. The example
of his character cannot well be other
wise than good in all its influences.
To know him is to quicken hope to
meet him is to have faith renewed.
May he live long and be prospered.
