Referring to an editorial paragraph
in The Gate City about the divorce
proceeding Of Mrs. Bob Eitzsimmons,
a communication is received from "St.
Louis alias Keokuk," in which objec-
lions are taken to some OF the state
ments made, and the following record
is furnished by the St Louis expert:
ANY person who knows anything
about sporting events knows that the
present Mrs. Robert Fitzsimmons is
his second wife and that her name
was Julia Clifford She is a decided
lightweight compared with the first
Mrs. Fitzsimmons, who was at the
historic fight at Carson City in 1897
This first wife now deceased, was a
splendid circus acrobat and a mem
Der of the famous Julian family, all
circus athletes. Her name was Rose
Julian and she and Bob was happy
but VIXEN she died, Bob was smitten
with the present blond lady and no
doubt later on she was smftten by

A former Keokuk citizen VINO Wis
tied here last week said the most I'M
fortunate thing he found was the In
clination OF the people to spread
gloom instead OF sunlight. He said he
had been over the state, in the east
and his home was now in the west but
he did not see any place the size OF
Keokuk that had as good future or
was better off commercially than this
city. Many of them were much
worse 1t was his advise that the
people of Keokuk should talk cheer
fully about Keokuk's future instead Of
talking discouragingly. There was no
justification in his mind for the latter
view When stranger asks 'thow's
business" don't give him tale OF
gloom but talk optimistically. There
is good foundation for such view.

WHAT a YOUNG MAN FACES.

The following editorial Is from the
Quincy Herald. It is applicable to any
city and is reproduced in The Gate
City in the hope that it may do some
good. The Herald says:
Making ali due allowance for the
supposed necessity Of young man to
have what they usually call good
time" it is nevertheless matter OF
some wonder and much regret that
SO many OF the young men who
come to Quincy to get along In the
world, waste their resources rs they
do. Quite number OF individual
cases have been observed recently.
which may be more or lass typical OF
a good sized group Of these young
men. Free from family restraints,
inspired in a measure by the example
OF the others, with few >finite asso-
Citations outside OF business or school
hours, many Of these young men. COM
ing here with fairly good habits, have
acquired others which have conspireG
to retard their advance in thu world.
either through education or through
the development Of stable or moral
character.
1t is indeed pity that such con-
ditions exist A young man comes
here from farm home perhaps 200
miles away. He is unsophisticated. In
a measure. in the ways OF city even
of Quincy's size. He has consider
able sum OF money to deposit in the
bank, the result of years Of savings on
the farm. He has, he thinks, good
chance to get along in the world, for
he has money, health and youth. He
regrets his lack OF experience in the
Ifs which he observes other young
men living, and considers It handi-
cap. If he were but to realize what
he will sooner or later realize, he
would know that his very lack Of ex-
perience as a good fellow" or a
high roller or live one" IS an
asset which he should conserve. But
he does not realize 1t. He sees his
associates, soma OF them at least,
having nightly what they describe
somewhat obviously as a good time"
His countrifed integrity of character
loses its hold. He joins with the other
young men. His bank account dwindies
to pay for the new clothing. to pay
for thu extra expense, the debts which
a good fellow" must always acquire.
His hours grow later and later HIS
habits become more and more I'M
settled. He is learning to be Tive
one and the charm of the new way
has not as yet worn or He may be
a student, and his studies are neglect
ed. He may be clerk. or a young
business man, and he gets to work
late with an aching head, which
makes the whole world, including his !
employers, seem hard and unfair. And
so he resolves to have a better time |
that night.
1t is the old story There Is not
much use repeating it. only 1t still Is
true. There are some men, some
women. who think it tn sir duty to
attempt to help these young men
clear away the fog from before their |
eyes that they may see clearly. But, !
as in the bible days, the lahorers are |
few and the work is great, and there
are many volunteers to undo the |
work, which the few devoted ones
attempt.
A good fellow" may have a good
time, for while, but Is not the price |
he pays too great?
