No sunday Meeting.


men on Sunday but in the principal
churches the claims OF the associa-
ton will be briefly presented in the
hope Of putting before the church peo-
pie the particular need at this time.
The association stands as an auxil,f
airy OF the church and in many places
is recognized as an integral part OF
the church to be used by the pastor
and people as any OF the specifeo
parts OF church. In Los Angeles,
Calf, there is church with this In
scription on the corner stone:
THE institutional work OF this church
Is carried on at the Y. w. G. A..
So that when the pastor or some
member OF the church wants to sus
gest an educational or gymnasium
class to young person the associa-
ton is the place to send them, or for
many other wants here is the supply.
1t is felt by those deeply interested
In the campaign now present in the
city that the citizens do not realize
the emergency now before the asso-
citation. Up to the present time ali
the bills contracted for the building
have been met, but the funds secured
a year ago have been used and the
building Is not completed The com
mittee has been extremely careful
and has cut out, because OF the ex.
lspense, things that were anxiously de-
sired. and feels that nothing which
could be spared has been included in
the work already done; that the
building while adequate in all need
full ways, contains no extrayagant
| features.
| There may be many who will make
the smaller gifts and these will be as
much appreciated as the larger dona,
tons. Nobody should hesitate be.
cause his gift hiust be small, but q,
secure the amount In the smaller
gifts will require much more work
and all are urged to be ready when
| the willing workers make their call.
There are many calls before the
people of Keokuk now, but this seems
Ito be the strategic moment to estab,
/ lish this work in its own building.
I People predict that the population OF
! the city will double in the next five
years; II SO there will be much work
for this organization to do which It
can only do in such quarters as this
new building provides.

WILD DISORDER ON MAIN
STREET SATURDAY NIGHT
CONTEMPT FOR LAW-OUR JAIL WRECKED-FOUR
OF THE DISTURBERS OF THE PEACE
ARRESTED AND FINDED

Henry Sergeant was deputized and |
pulled Reed out Of the pool room
while Shellender held Robert Reed, |
who was trying to aid his brother
The latter again escaped, this time
from the hands of Morrison, who
seemed to lose his nerve completely
in the excitement.
TOWN PROPERTY WRECKED
Robrt Reed was then arrested
and when taken to the lookup the
policemen found that the other
prisoners, Reed and Moore had
nearly broken through the brick
wall of their cell after smashing
every article Of furniture within it.
The two Reeds and Moore were
then placed i'll what is called the
hospital cell. When taken out
Sunday morning for their hearing
the police found the prisoners had
utterly ruined everything in the
cell.
The trial before Squire Lovett
attracted a great crowd and after
hearing the evidence against the
prisoners inflicted the following
fines all Of which go to the town
George Moore, $50; Samuel Reed,
$29.50; Robert Reed, $2O.5O; Will
lam Reed, $4,000.
Rather than 60 to the workhouse
for several months the prisoners
paid their fines and were released.
The damage done by the Reeds and
Moore, while prisoners in the town
jail is estimated by Councilman
, Luton at about $50 which others
say is much less than the cells can
be repaired and refurnished for.
LIGHT FINES CRITICISED.
3 Much criticism was hearc
through town Of Squire Lovett be
| cause he did not hold all the pris
e oners for Court or impose heavier
. fines. The Squire explains, how
a ever, that all the charges, namely
l drunkenness, disorderly conduct
k. swearing and resisting arrest, wer'
:. for the violation Of the town ordi
n nances, and that in each case he i'm
|. posed the maximum fines.

Valuable Work On
Local History

Recently several additions to the
Delaware history section of the
College Library have been made
through the kindness of contribu-
tors. Perhaps one of the most in
teresting is an Atlas of the State
Of Delaware, !" published by Pom
eroy and Beers, 1868, and present
ed by Mr.. H. M. Foster This
gives much information on Della
ware just after the Civil War. A
specially well bound copy of John
ston s History of Cecil County,
Maryland" is the gift of Mr.. A.
II. Dean. "The Acts Of Incorpor-
alton of the Newcastle and French
town Turnpike and Railroad Com
pany,' curious and interesting
pamphlet, has been presented by
Mr.. Paul Emerson. Also Mrs.
Georgia b. Harrison has sent in a
pamphlet on "The History Of Ma
son and Dixon s Line by J. H. b,
Latrobe
These, with important earlier
contributions by Mr.. Harlow H
Curtis, DR.. Geo. w. Marshall, and
Mr.. Wilbur Wilson, gives point tc
the view that Delaware College
should be the depository of all such
material, making it available anC
convenient to all who desire to use

NEW CENTURY CLUB

A most instructive musical en-
was given in the New
Century Club Room last Monday
afternoon, by Miss Emily l.. Hib-
bard of Lansdowne, Pa. --s-..' ..s..t...
Miss Hibbard began her talk on
"Symphonies" by giving a little
of the personal history Of Hayden,
the German composer who is said
to be the originator of symphony
and of the stringed quartette. Al
ter posting her audience as to what
they should listen for in a sym
phony, Miss Hibbard would often
seat herself at the piano and rem
der the best sonato of the composer
under discussion.
This kind of music was also
most pleasingly illustrated by Mr..
McAvoy and Miss Nellie Wilson.
A social hour followed when re-
freshments were served by the la
dies who had charge of the pro-
gram.
Owing to serious illness in her
family, Mrs. Walter r. Hilton will
not be able to entertain the Club
at her home next week, as had been
announced. The meeting instead
will be at the clubroom at the usual
hour.

prevailed. An hour later "pupil-

and joined the throng i'll time to
witness the passing OF the sudra-

Yes indeed, ,all Newark was there.
Some were honest sympathizers
with the suffrage cause, some were

their presence encouraged the
weary band of travellers on their

The little army was escorted
from Lumbrook by the Delaware
College Cadet Corps, headed by the
band. Mrs. S. M. Donnell also join
ed the party at this point and es-
corted the gallant general, Rosalie
Gardiner Jones, to the Deer Park
where luncheon was served. In the
walking party arriving at the hotel
were eleven women who had walked
the entire distance from New York
City. also a number of volunteers
who had joined at various points
along the line. A number of Will

were Miss Seippe, physical instruc

Armory For
Company E
Captain Jacobs and Representa-
tive Hoffecker Win

Members and friends Of Com
pany e are jubilant over the ac-
ton of the Legislature i'll passing
the bill giving $4,000 toward the
building of an Armory to be erect
ed in Newark. This is certainly a
deserved compliment to the local
company. Company f has been
one Of the star companies at public
parades and encampments, the men
and officers standing especially we'll
in regimental opinion and at sharp
shooting and craftsmanship, her
men have always been in the win
ming
Much credit is due to Capt. ia
cobs and his associates for this new
Improvement. He started the cam
paign two years ago and at that
time enlisted aid from several sec
tons of the State. On every occas-
sion where opportunity afforded, he
has spoken word for Newark.
And scarcely was the election over,
when the forces were concentrated
the accomplishment of which is a
$4,000 Armory.
Representative Hotfecker is com
ing in for his share Of glory. Since
his appearance at Dover, he has
had the Armory constantly before
the legislative body and the success
of the measure is due in no small
part to his efforts.
The selection of the site is now
topic of discussion among soldier
boys, but so far no definite place
has been designated or at least not
: made public. With this amount
of money, it is certain that the new
Armory will be one of the show
! places of the town.
. This building will no doubt
: arouse the interest Of the town in
Company affairs and it is hoped
:, will create sentiment for more
loyal support.

Of ridicule. All the town seemed
