BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. 31.-The
most far-reaching industrial and fin
ancial movements of the past week in
the South has been the organization by
Asa G. Gambler and his associates of
company to bdild Immediately ware
house with capacity of 100000 bales OF
cotton, the. entire investment to b
about 100000. Also the announce
ment is made by Mr. Gambler that he
and his associates will lend up to I
cents a pound on cotton at per cent
Last year, at the time of the most ser
ious depression in cotton, Mr.. Gambler
put up temporary sheds for warehous-
es and offered to lend $50 bale up to
100000 bales, thus steadying the
whole market and creating confidence
throughout the South in the cotton
situation. His present move will result
in the immediate construction in place
of temporary warehouses of a $500, 0eG
reinforced fireproof warehouse, and al
advance over the loan value put N
cotton last year. This movement viii
doubtless have a marked effect in
stimulating other financial interests
throughout the South to cooperate in
financing and marketing the cotton
crop.
Contracts have been let for the con
struction of s1,oOO,OOO denasured ale ,

One Wonderful Night" a spectac-
ular four part drama in which Francis
X. Bushman is the star, will feature
the program at the Hippodrome
theatre tomorrow, Wednesday, Feb. 3.
The story Of this extraordinary play
follows:
1t all happened in one wonderful
night. The lives Of girl and man
were completely changed and made
more happy than ever before. The
earl of Valletort insisted that his
daughter, Lady Hermione, marry a
hungarian count. This count, it
seems, saw clear path to the throne
OF his country, but money was neces-
sary. The earl of Valletort himself
had no money. When Lady Her
mione's mother passed away she left
the daughter a fortune. The count
would do wonders for the earl, If the
latter would arrange to have his
daughter and her money marry him.
The earl did try, and Lady Hermoine
escaped to America She considered
the marriage vile and would avoid it
ting Frenchman who was known to
her father. When she arrived in
America she planned to marry this
little Frenchman, named de Courteis
He agreed to protect her with his
name; nothing more Then, when she
was rid of the count. de Courtois
would disappear and the law would
allow separation.

NEW SUITS FOR SELVES
Especial to The Gate City.]


DONNELLSON Ia, Feb. 2.-Mein-
hardt's store was entered Sunday
night and over $500 worth of general
merchandise taken from 1t by some
bold thieves. The thieves secured an
entire new outfit of clothes for them
selves, changing their clothing in the
store, and leaving their old clothes as
reminder of their visit. Sherltf
Scott of Keokuk, was notified Of the
robbery and an attempt Is being made
to apprehend the thieves.
Entrance into the building was ef-
fected through the cellar, according
to Henry Meinhardt, the proprietor.
Mr. Meinhardt said that he was in the
back room of the store Sunday, and
that his son had gone into the build
ing during the day. They noticed
nothing wrong. Whether the thieves
were hiding in the cellar or not he
could not say
The robbery was discovered Mon,
day morning when Mr.. Meinhardt
went to the store. He found the cash
drawer had been pulled out, and he
surmised that something was wrong,
and began search of the store.
Over $3.50 worth of jewelry was
taken. This included bracelets, rings,
watch chains and the like. Silks to
the value of 500 also were taken, and
some mackinaw coats were found
missing The thieves also took revol
vers and some other hardware.
Up stairs he found the clothing OF
the robbers. They ha6 evidently
picked entirely new outfits out OF
stock and had changed their clothes
leaving the old garments in their
wake.
Mr.. Meiphardt believes that the rob-
hers may be traced through the loot
and the new suitcases which they also
appropriated in which to carry the
goods

MANY HOLIDAYS IN
SHORTEST MONTH
Washington and Lincoln. st. Valen-
tine and the Greundhoe All
Honcrcd This Month.

Washington and Lincoln are to be
honored this month. Two celebrations
Of the kind in ono month are a bit too
numerous. Perhaps they might be
combined. An occurrence Of real i'm
portance however, and which will re-
ceive much more popular attention
than the birthdays OF these famous
men Is the grounding day. The fact
will probably be proven by the post
ONCE folk, that St Valentine Is much
more popular than Washington or
Lincoln. One who has scanned the
calendar, says:
February, the shortest month of the
year. which opened yesterday. is
marked by several days Of special I'M
portance.
Two of Americas greatest sons
were born in February, and their all
nlversaries will be celebrated this
year
Abraham Lincoln was born on Feb
fuary ~. 1909. and George Washing
TON on February %, 1882. Washing
IONS birthday and Lincoln's ami
'n,rsary are celebrated in Iowa as
legal holidays. The only local observ-
anee. however. probably will be patri-
QUO programs in the schools.
Then there is another day in Feb
fuary of considerable significance-at
any rate it is of significance to the
reravers in the ancient grounding"

posed to emerge from his den, after

Cars Were Out and
Raced.

Fort Madison Democrat: The much
heralded and looked for races on the
Ice did not exactly materialize Sun
day, as scheduled. Two drivers came
no from Keokuk, Lester Harter, ac-
companied by Miss Erickson, and
Louis Corbeile, with Witty" Roberts,
put the water on the ice made the 60
ing rather difficult and the afternoons
sport was confined to spectacular cx-
hibits, for the hundreds clustered on
the bank on Front street.
Happy" Black was out on the ice
bright and early, tuning up and await
ed the visitors with considerable i'm
patience. The two cars left KeoknH
ut o'clock and vent on the ice st
Montrose but after about five miles
lost their way In the fog and had to
return to their. starting place and
hnish the trip by the road Corbeile
certainly was followed by misfortune
for in going over a bad bump the
bracket on the rear mud guard broke
and let the guard down on the tire. In
addition to that trouble he had tire
burst and had to put in another inner
tube.
After looking over the cars the
three sped to the lake and tore few
laps around the ice, at hair raising
speed. The little Buick of Harter'i
was the first to leave the course. The
cars had considerable trouble with the
water impeding the action of the en-
gines Happy" and Ray Stevenson in
the Studebaker, and Corbiele in an
overland, remained on the ice some
time after Harter left and when the
two cars were over. on the Illinois side
they turned and making direct line
for Cedar street, the drivers cut loose
and hurled the cars forward at top
speed. The rate of speed was not
lowered until within a short distance
Oh the bank and it was necessary for
the, two cars to turn abruptly ont of
their course to avoid the hill. Cor
biele turned to the west and Happy
to the east The cars skidded and
turned completely around with jerk
that made the spectators on the bank
! hold their breath. The local men
y went west ways and suddenly the
two were seen to leap wildly from the
machine and run for some distance.
One of the rear wheels had penetrated
the ice and sunk to the hubs. Hap

grace to run wien you're scared"

hard to get to the top. AS there is
only one round, seven weeks, to be

chance at each other team, instead
of having come back chance as
they did in the two round Commercial

Several Of the teams will not have
all their regular team out for the first

players did not qualify for the first
game, on account Of not fulfilling ths
