WARSAW
CENTENNIAL
Bio Jubilee Sept. 20 and 80 n Oc>.
1, Will Attract Thousands OF
Visitors From Three
States.
WILL V MONUMENT
Event is Of Statewide Importance
and National Figures VIII be
on the Speakers
Program.

Warsaw's centennial jubilee, an
nounced for September 80 and 80
and October /, and featured by the
dedication of the Fort Edwards mon
ument, looms up as the biggest event
on the schedule of all entertainments
in this part of the country.
Following Keokuk's decision not to
hold a fall celebration this year, in
terest locally has centered in the
three day program being arranged by
our down river n~eighbors, and every
avenue of traffic will be taxed in get
ting the people on the grounds. Even
at this early date the i~nterurban, as
we'll as the steamboat lines plying
the river, are planning for an increase
in business equal to that of last
August. when the Keokuk dam was
formally opened.

State Aids Financially.

The state Of Illinois appropriated
$4,000 toward the Fort Edwards mon
ument, and the event thereby becomes
Of statewide Importance. Not only
that but the many aspects of the
early history of the fort and with its
numerous army associations, carry
the event into the field Of national
interest. Speakers of great promi.
hence in the nations life are being
secured for the dedication program.
Among them are Governor Edward, F.
Dunno of Illinois, and United States
Senators L. Y. Sherman and James
Hamilton Lewis. An effort is beins
made to cur Theodore Roosevelt, in
that the colonel will be in this part
of the country about that time. The
invocation on the dedication program
probably will be made by Bishop NJ.
Edward Fawcett of the Episcopal did,
cese of Quincy. Historic features will
~predominate. and the big trouble of
the committee is to find time for all
of the events planned.
The site of the monument. as il
stands on Fort Edwards point over

surpassed view to the north and west.

ment and hospitality. For months the
finance committees have been cam
paigning for money, and now that the
treasury is stocked, the sub-commit.
tees are hard at work lining UP the
program features. Warsaw has staged
many celebrations, bat the import
ance of the monument dedication as
a historic event places it far ahead
of anything the town ever has at
tempted.
The program will include not only
the historic features of the dedication,
echoes of the early battlefelds, but
also the %rollicking excitement of car
niyal time. DR.. T A. Hartley, chair
man of the committee on concessions
stated when in Keokuk last week
that a solid line of free attractions
has been booked, among them two
trios of acrobatic performers who are
under the direct management Of Mort
H. Singer. the Chicago theatrical pro,
Queer. Reservations for concessions
are being made right along, and the
outline of "the pike is rapidly taking
shape.

COIN FOR TAXES
Levies in the State OF Iowa Have
Been More Than Half
Paid.

DIES MONIES, Aug. 2S.-That Iowa
people have been prosperous this year
IS reflected in the way taxes were
paid. They have paid considerably
more than half their taxes the first
part of the year.
According to the returns to the of.
3cs Of state auditor there had been
received Of the various half-mill mill
haze taxes, such as those which go TO
the educational work oS the state,
over szE5D99 for q c half mill. As

about 3s5o.9G9, this means that more
1tsa ha3f Of ezch one was paid prior
10 Fhe first II June.
81 these fixed miliage taxes are
more than half paid it mean that of
all taxes more than half has been
paid Tais is unusual. for it has gen.
orally been the rule that the major
part of b taxes comes in at the fall

Historical Sketch.

A number of years ago there ap,
peared in The Gate City an historical
sketch from the pen of j. K. Mason
of the early forts in Hancock county,
1t has to do with both Fort Edwards
and Fort Johnson. and is reproduced
as follows: :
Fort Johnson was the first fort ever
built in Hancock county, and as is
was only a wooden stockade with
b~lockhouses of round logs, and only
stood a few months, many believe
that no such fort eve existed, but 1t
did; and it was built in 1914 by
Capt. Zackery Taylor, afterwards
president OF the United States.
A detachment under command OF

Jurors Of Hancocy county, in 1899. He
afterwards died in a drunken fit, 1t

his house. or other officers Of the
fort, with the exception OF DR.. Muir,

Fort Edwards was named after
Governor Edwards Of Illinois territory.

Captain Taylor, left Cape Girls on
the Sd of August, 1914, in boats.
for the Indian town at Rock river.
The detachment consisted OF 334 men

the commanding officer to General
Howard, dated at Fort Madison, Sept.
9Th, gives details Of the expedition.
The expedition met with a superior
force at Rock Island. were repulsed,
and fell back. The report the says:
I then determined to drop down the
river without delay, as some OF the
officers Of the rangers informed me
their men were short of provisions.
and execute the principal objects OF
the expedition, in erecting a fort to
command the river. In the month Of
October the people OF st. Louis were
%astounded with the intelligence that
the troops stationed at Fort johnson
had burned the block houses, destroy
ed the works and ~retreated down the
river to Cape au Girls. The officer in
command (Taylor having recently left
that post reported that they were
out of provisions and could not sus-
tain that position. Fort Johnson is
said to have been named after the
slayer of Tecumseh, and stood on the
bluff above Alber's mill, only a little
farther down the river, and probably
did not remain over six weeks.

Fort Edwards was built in the fall
of 1914, also by Captain Taylor on
the high point Of land looking toward
Keokuk. The three cornered outline
