OFFICIALS AWAITING DETAILS
Sinking of italian Steamer Disturbs
Washington.

Washington, Nov. 11.-News of the
sinking of the Ancona caused a sen
sation here, as it was regarded as
foreshadowing a new controversy be-
tween the United States and Austria
similar to the critical dispute with
Germany that followed the torpedoing
of the Lusitania
Before making any comment, how.
ever, officials awaited information on
two points-whether the vessel was
torpedoed without warning and wheth.
er any Americans were among the
victims.
Should it develop that the Ancona
was given warning and ignored it and

The people of Keokuk will soon
have an opportunity of hearing and
seeing one of the most eccentric indi-
viduals now travelling through the
United States,
1t is said OF this young man. who Is
known as Vurpillat, that he ranks
foremost in his particular line OF bust
ness, as an advertiser, being the most
original in thought and a leader wher-
ever he goes.
Vurpillat is well known in nearly
all the principal cities. For the last
ten years he has been giving free en-
tertainments and lectures, always
carrying with him a large company of
high class performers.
This company is considered the fin
est Of any medicine company in the
United States today. This will be a
rare treat for the people OF Keokuk,
an unusually high class order.
Vurpillat Is expected to arrive in
Keokuk Monday, July 10, and at 7:30
o'clock Monday evening he will give
his first free entertainment, band con-
cert and lecture.
He will locate his big electric
lighted platform on Ninth and John
son, where he will no doubt draw
large crowds nightly.
In speaking OF his stay in this city
Vurpillat has this to say: 81 spent
the greater part Of my life in the des-
erts and in the mountains Of Califor-
