Bismarck, who had just concluded
the terms of peace with France, invit-

Forckenbeck and his colleague left
their host before midnight. drew out
their watches, stood beneath a lantern

Work is Being Donated to
Committee.

The community tree for the city's
outdoor Christmas celebration. has
been secured by the committee ap-
pointed for that purpose, Mrs. d. A.
Collier. Miss Anne B. Davis and Miss
Agnes Trimble The tree which has
been given for that purpose Is the
handsome big pine tree on the Repps
lawn. Miss Reps and the commit

charge the school grounds, have CIV

The tree will be taken down under
the personal supervision OF Messrs.
w. B. Wooley and r. A. Dollery. The
James Cameron's Sons Co. will set
the tree. All these services and the
tree are gifts to the community
Christmas celebration and are deeply
appreciated by the committee as well
as by the general public.
It is hoped to place the tree this
year on the government lawn. The
matter has been taken up with the
government by Postmaster McManus
to secure the necessary permission.
There is just one criticism to the
out door Christmas tree custom and
that Is the annual sacrifice of hand
some old pine and fir trees, some OF
which have taken fifty years to ma
ture. The tree used here last year
was between fifty and sixty years
old.
Keokuk's conscience will be clear
this year because the tree to be used
would have to be taken down any
way because Of its position on the
grounds of the new Garfield school
building The tree is very hand

top just suited for the great cleo

The meeting had been advertised
to some extent among the craft and a
large number OF visitors were present,
coming from as far as Des Moines In
Iowa, from Chicago In Illinois and
from Kansas City in Missouri. The
floor Of the lodge room was filled and
there was quite an overflow meeting

city OF Keokuk and the local order
now has one of the finest degree
teams in the state. Plans are being
made for the local men to visit some
