PROMISING LIFE
ENDED BY DEATH
James Gilbert Eagan Passed Away
Friday Evening After An Illness
Of Five Weeks
Duration.
HARD BLOW TO FAMILY
For Second Time In Three Months,
Family Circle is Invaded by
Death--Buriai VIII be
Monday.

James Gilbert Eagan, II years old,
eldest son Of Mr.. and Mrs. James H.
Eagan of 1910 Orleans avenue. died
Friday evening at 6:15 o'clock. His
death occurred at st. Joseph's hos
pital, where FIVE weeks ago he was
taken for an operation for an acute
case of appendicitis. Complications
set in, and his death was due to an
abscess of the liver. His loss will be
keenly felt, not only in the family
circle, now SO cruelty broken but
among his wide circle Of friends who
knew him and who loved him for his
sunny disposition and his bright,
happy manner.
James Gilbert Eagan was born in
Keokuk on March %, 1898. He was
educated in the paroehial school of
st. Francis de Sales church, and later
in the public schools Of the city. He
was a bright boy and had splendid
future before him. He was employed
with the Stone and Webster Engi-
neering corporation on some construc-
ton work here and at Fort Madison.
During the early part of this year he
was working with the Perkins engi-
neering corps on the Green Bay drain
age project, and later came back to
Keokuk to re-enter the employee OF
the Consumers Wholesale Supply
company, where he was working at
the time he became Ill.
Decedent was member of st. Fran
els de Sales Catholic church. He was
always faithful attendant at services
here, and tried to live and believe In
the tenets of this faith. AS boy he
served faithfully in various capacities
at the altar, and in his daily life he
tried to live as he had been taught
both at home and by the church.
Just Entering Young Manhood.
James Eagan was just entering
into his young manhood, and life
seemed to bear much Of promise for
him. He had the enthusiasm of the
young man, and this, coupled with his
sunny disposition, his ever ready
sense OF humor, the gentleness and
the kindness of a mothers heart
made him boy whom to know was
to love. He was bright and cheerful
and he made friends easily. His
future was sure to be bright one.
his friends all said. and he gave
every promise Of fulfilling their ex-
pectations.
Death. cold and relentless, has
blighted his future just as the bud
was opening into the flower. but even
death in all of its power. cannot take
away from his friends and his family
this pride which they have right to
feel in the upright life which he
lived, and in the memories which
they may cherish Of life which,
short as It was. was filed with sun
shine and with kindness.
The death OF young James Fagan
comes as a particularly sad one.
since it makes the second break in
a family circle where love and affec-
ton were paramount. Three months
ago, the family was called on to
mourn the. loss of daughter and
sister, Miss Charlotte Mary Eagan,
whose tragic death in an automobile

Meeting Next Thursday Evening at the
Y. M. c. A. Building to be for
Purpose Of Taking Def
mite Stand.
COMMITTEE IN MEETING
Evangelistic Body Set Date at Session
Held Last Night-Hami-
ton is Ready to
Come.

1t will be definitely decided on next
Thursday evening If Keokuk is to
have an evangelistic campaign next
year. A meeting of laymen and
church members interested in the mat
ter will be held on that evening at
the Y. NJ. c. A. This was decided at
session Of the evangelistic commit.
tee last night. This committee, com
posed Of Rev. E. Leroy Steffey, Rev.
Fl. B. McElTee. Harvey Bonham, @.
S. Townsend and q. l.. Aldrich, de-
cided that the matter should be left
in the hands Of those interested in the
campaign and another banquet, such
as was served on Friday evening to
seventy-fve, when DIR. John s. Hamil-
ton was here, will be enjoyed preced-
ing the business meeting.
Everybody seems to be In favor OF
an evangelistic campaign and it is be-
lieved that the proposition will be
unanimously approved next Thursday
evening. It will also be decided
whether or not to secure the services
of DR.. Hamilton. All who heard him
last Thursday night were struck with
his appearance and his address. DR..
Hamilton is about thirty-fye years Of
age, tall and athletic, a man whose
very appearance seems to put life into
his words.
The pastors OF the city have been
requested to announce from their pull
pits this morning and evening
tie laymen's conference for next
Thursday A large representation
from Keokuk churches is wanted to
decide the two Important questions
to come up.
II it is decided to conduct revival
here next year and DR.. Hamilton is
chosen as the leader, then a new
executive committee will be appointed
to arrange for the carrying out of
the plans OF the evangelist. DR.. Ham
ilton will be free the latter part of
February and has agreed to come

the vets all week, appealed to a mems
mass meeting here tonight to divorce
the democratic party from the liquor

auspices of the Anti-saloon league,

This years fight, the fourth at

hardest yet. To win, the drys must
overcome the wet vote in Cincinnati

AMATEUR WEATHER
PROPHETS ARE BUSY
They Can't be Content With This
Fine Variety But Have to
Worry About Winter.

Some people are always borrowing
trouble. Here we have the finest fall
weather ever experienced anywhere
on the globe The kind OF weather
that would help the boosters OF south
ern California to draw another 10O,-
s00e Iowans to California. OF course,
we are going to have some winter.
But in its way the winter is as fine as
any other season in Iowa. And It is
the season that brings health and
vigor, good appetites, sound sleep. It
is the season to which we are especr
tally indebted to the fact that Iowans
