PORTRAIT
IN IOWA BUILDING
Queen Of Comic Opera, Born in cIn-
ton, Will be Honored at
Exposition.

The Iowa building at the Panama
Pacific international exposition is
putting one over" on her distin-
guished competitors. Members of the
commission after arriving there and
looking over the situation and visiting
the various states, discovered the fact
that many of the buildings were dec
grated with oil portraits of their fam
Gus sons.
In one or two cases the portrait OF
a famous daughter ornamented the
walls and so the Iowa commission be-
gan to think.
Somebody remembered that Clinton
county was the birthplace Of Lillian
Russell, and forthwith there was dis
patched to the fair Lillian a telegram
requesting the loan of portrait show
ing her in the character of "Erminie"
|, one Of the most impressive Of her en-
tire repertoire.
And here Is the telegram that Mrs.
Lillian Russell-Mocre sent back:
II shall be glad to comply with
your request. I consider 1t quite an
honor to be native daughter of the
state of Iowa and be SO honored by
your commission. l shall send the
picture just as soon as possible. With
kfndest regards to all the members Of
the commission and my thorough ap-
probation of their action, beg to re-
main, Lillian-Russell Moore"
Now some Of the other state COM
missions are trying to discover a
daughter who would be as famous as
the one Iowa offers. But the Iowa
commissioners are not worrying be-
cause amongst its membership there
is q we'll defined rumor that if worst
comes to worst, they may be able to
prove that Sarah Bernhard was born
in Iowa somewhere near Upton. e.
R. Harlan, curator Of the State his
torical department. is busily engaged
right now running down this Bern
hardt rumor.

Boys Of Baptist Church viii Make
Final Effort to Land Their Class
in Money Next
Sunday.
BEEN A GREAT SUCCESS
Glasses Have Grown Each Week I'm
til All Records Are Broken
Marks Glass is in the
Lead.

This Sunday marks the close OF
one Of the best spirited contests the
Baptist Sunday school has had in
some time. The plan of the contest
was to eliminate as much as possible
the spontaneous growth which often
subsidies as quickly as it rises, ana
give to the Sunday school a good
healthy development. And the plan
has succeeded There has been
gradual growth until last Sunday
there were about four hundred ana
fifty present. The purpose Of the
contest was not only to gain new
scholars, but to secure regularity OF
attendance on the part Of the old
members. Promptness Is also one OF
the large counts, and it has been
great factor in bringing the maJo lty
out on time. Giving too, was a con-
sideration, not how much, but every
body some. At the present Mr.. Marks
class is in the lead, but the last Sun
day will, without doubt hold some
surprises as the classes are strus-
Cling hard to unseat his class OF
boys from their honored position.
This contest has been originating
in the minds of the young men OF
the Sunday school, but it was only
lately that it took form. A large
bulls eye was made, each class hav-
ing a shot each Sunday. The per-
centage basis is used to make 1t fair
for all classes. Many have hit about
the bulls eye, great many times,
but only few times has 1t been
spotted.
At the close of the contest the win
ming class Will be given prize
which will be presented by the young
mems class.
This Sunday the young mems class
will consider the ACCESSIBILITY of hav-
ing a lyceum course for the coming
year. AS they state 1t, the purpose
will not be to make money, but to
bring to Keokuk some entertaining
and educational features that will be
of the highest character.
The class still retains its high
standing. The Record published at
Pella, Iowa, stated some time ago
that it was perhaps, the largest class
of exclusively young men in the state.
This Sunday, the slogan Of the class
is: I'VE want 80 and you," and they
are calling it Booster Sunday!

man had killed her son. On the eve
OF the coroners inquest she disappear
ed and was found later with Shipman's
friends. This signed statement she
absolutely refuted, saying she was
forced to sign 1t.
ut was all Albert's fault-Will is
not to blame" she cried as she left
the witness stand to make way for
her daughters who testified that Ship

brother to death in their home.

the place in general. A handsomely
designed cornice will surmount the
building. The high board fence has
been removed and neat iron fence
will replace the same. The hang-on
to the rear will also be removed. The

the bank will be ready for business
