PROSPECTUS
The management Of our Norma
School reports that Dormitory for
Riri students IL very much needed. and
If erected. would result in largely in
creasing the membership of the school.
The plan proposed Is that the dormitory
be- arranged to furnish quarters for
girl students. under the control Of she
faculty, SO that they would have the
same wstchful care. as ut home.
1T is also proposed to have . dining
hall end kitchen attached, to supply
board at the lowest possible rates. W
accommodate all students who choose 10
avail themselves of it.
The proposed building will be at
tractive of design, comfortable, ssni-
tsry and convenient, equipped with cleo
trio lights, hot and cold water, steam
heat, bath rooms, etc. Several locst-
ions are in view, convenient to the
school. 1t is estimated that $500. will
build, equip and furnish the building
This would supply beds for "a students.
besides rooms for matron and cook, din
ing hall that can care for 10 people,
study hall, reception room, laundry, etc.
'If the dormitory is entirely occupied
it is estimated that : per cent interest
can be paid on the investment and .
moderate sinking fund created. II 10
the Judgment of all interested that it
is reasonably certain interest csn be
paid after the first year, and, by reeson
of this dormitory. the attendance Of the
school largely increased. Parents who
wish to send their girls to school, will
not hesitate to send them here when
they know that they will be properly
cared for. Your subscription is invited

COAL SITUATION
rs BIT UNSETTLED
Action Of illinois Miners Makes the
Bituminous Supply Rather Short,
Il 10 Said.

K
1t seems that the coal situation, in
Keokuk and other points which draw
their supply of soft coal from the IL
linois coal fields, is in a rather un-
settled condition. In calling attention
to this fact, however, it is not in the
mind of The Gate City to assume any,
thing like the position of an alarmist,
but in calm and business-like way
to call attention to facts and leave
the readers to act according to their
own judgment and commercial pru-
dence, after these facts have been pre-.
sented to them
1t is said by men who make
the matter of coal study, that
the conditions are rather precarious
and hang in the balance.
They say there is an even chance
that there wiz be a suspension of
mining in the Illinois coal fields after
March 81, at which date the present
contract between the miners and OPP
orators expires, and new contract
must have been agreed upon, and il
there is a suspension of coal mining at
that time, it may last for sixty or
ninety days, and in fact 1t cannot be
predicted now, how long the conten-
I ton for renewal of contract may last,
and the mining of coal suspended In

"Our Protestant Idolatry."
DR.. johnson is accounted one of the
strongest preachers in the Episcopal
church, and those who were fortunate
enough to hear him two years ago
when he preached in st. Johns are
aware of this fact and will desire to
hear him again. These addresses in

toner's of that church. An invitation
lis especially extended to those who
have no church home, to those who
have doubts about religion and to
thos,s who desire to know about what
the Episcopal church presents as the
faith of Christ and His christianity.

the fields in our neighboring state

the fields in our neighboring state
across the Mississippi river.
The miners and operators have been
negotiating for the making of new
mining scale for several weeks, and
the last conference Of subcommittee,
failing to accomplish anything, after
being in conference for more than a
week, adjourned sine die, leaving the
contention even in worse condition
than 1t was before the conference
was agreed to.
Keokuk, getting the bulk of its soft
coal from the territory that will be af-
fected by suspension OF mining OPP
erations, it is a part Of wisdom and
caution to keep in mind the question
of what effect the suspension in min
ing in this large territory will have on
the people and industries, in the sur
rounding territory depending upon
these prolific Illinois coal fields for
the supplies. Large consumers, such
as railroad companies and other large
industrial and commercial plants are
already storing coal on account of
disturbing conditions, il for no other
reason than as precautionary meas
ure.
These facts are merely thrown out
to show how the situation is regarded
by those who are taking view of the
situation. The large users of coal
are alone referred to, but every fam
lily and every individual who uses coal
must feel in some degree the effect
should it come, and deserves q warn
ing in advance.
