 NEW YORK, March 7.-The en- gaSement oG about six million dollars l in gold for export was expressed in | concrete terms today as bearing upon | the strained monetary conditions abroad upon this market. The first engagement of gold from Germany since the spring of 1908 announced the hulk of the gold, however. goes to France and Argentina. Berlin was again bidding six and one half per cent in this market today for sixty and ninety day loans in advance of the april settlement. Indications arc that the exportation of gold which amOul.ted to nearly thirty-fivc million dollars, this year would be carried further, this country having the larg- est protected supply of metal.

FISHERMAN HAD A
THRILLING ADVENTURE
Narrow Escape from Drowning Below
Alexandria of Man and Family
in High Water.

VIM. Jobe, fisherman at Keo.
kuk, had a rather thrilling adventure
the other day in Fox slough, below
Alexandria Being high water he was
going down the slough with his wife
and child in small launch when he
encountered a wire cable stretched
across the slough about eight inches
above the water. His boa. swung
around side ways against the cable
and nearly capsized and while he was
trying to disengage the boat from the
cable, he was pulled overheard The
boat floated away with his wife and
child, leaving him clinging to the
cable in midsrteam, with only his
head above water. Mr. lobe pulled
himself ashore hand over hand and
managed with difficulty to save him
self and go to the rescue Of his fam
lily.
IT is temptation to motor boat
men to run these sloughs in high
water, but it Is dangerous, especially
in going down stream. There used 20
be cable across the slough opposite
Keokuk. on the Illinois side of the
river and in fact motor boat men
should be very careful in running any
slough they have not previously ex,
plored.

GOOD FOR THE OTHERS
Trying to Change Statistics Which
Show Low Percentage Of
Church Goers
Here.

When the reports are in at the
Baptist and Christian Sunday schools
this morning, they will show the re-
spective standing OF these two schools
at the close of their third week OF the
attendance contest. The schools have
more than doubled their attendance
already. and the contest Is being con-
Quoted in very friendly manner. yet
with much spirit and interest on be-
half of the respective contestants.
A very thorough organization is
being made and one OF the schools
has divided the city into blocks and
apportioned these to certain workers.
The other school is securing list of
individuals who should be In some
Sunday school, and these names are
being assigned to workers.
The other Sunday schools in the
city have caught the interest and
spirit of the contest and as a result
their attendance has increased There
is large field, however, in Keokuk
for active work in securing new at
tcndants in Sunday school.
A few years ago canvass OF the
city was made, and 1t was found that
less than one third Of the population
of the city were actively affiliated
with all the churches in the city. This
is rather an unusually low percentage.
In many communities half Of the peo-
1 pie or more are actively identified
with some form of church work
Doubtless before the contest closes
a much greater proportion of the peo-
pie Of Keokuk will be identified with
one or the other Of these two churches
or some of the other churches in the
city.

BERLIN, April IA startling In
crease in suicides in Germany is be-
ing recorded in vital statistics. Last
year there was slight reduction in
the figures of the large number OF
Germans who annually depart this life
voluntarily, but this promises to be
more than exceeded by the increase
so far this year.
1t seems to be a characteristic
psychological tendency of the German
mind to shuttle off this mortal life
when things look too dark for further
whom 1894 were men and only 2.02S
OF the opposite sex. committed sui
eide in Germany
According to the very comprehens-
i've statistics upon the subject, the
tendency to suicide in Germany in
creases with the age. Out OF 100000
persons between the ages of Is and
90, seventeen took their own life; be-
tween 90 and %, twenty-five; between
60 and 70, seventy-two could not wait
the call of death and above the age
of so no less than sixty-three killed
themselves. 1t Is also recorded that
| the greatest number OF suicides occur
on Monday and the least on Sunday.
BERLIN April 19.-More than $780,
100000 Is reported to be missing in
Germany. Bank reports indicate that
this amount has been boarded by
