Of dances was decidedly poetic and won
emphatic approval.
Fiske O'Hara delighted the music lovers
with songs of the Emerald Isle, which he
rendered in the characteristic style that
has made him a favorite. He was ac-
eompanted by Noble Mcdonald. Repeated
encores rewarded his efforts.
Versatile Clara Morton was a whole
show in herself and scored a solid hit In
unique act which was written while
ahe waited, according to the plot She
sang and danced. played musical instru-
ments and as finale danced while she
played the piano, She was ably assisted
BY Frank Sheen.

.DEs MONIES HAS
FEWER ARRESTS
FIGURES COMPILED FROM POLICE
RECORDS SHOW DECREASE
SINCE SALOON CLOSING.

Des Moines, Aug According to
figures compiled from police records
by the Inter-church council, the clos
ing of Des Moines thirst palaces has
lessened the number of arrests for
intoxication nearly one-half
The figures cover the period from
February Is, 1914, to July IL, 1914,
and the corresponding period In 1915.
During the same length of time In
1915 only 939 out of a total Of 2,723
arrests were on charges of ,ntoxica-
ton. The increase in the total num-
Der of arrests on all charges from
2,57S in 1914 to 2,723 in 1917 is due
to the wholesale campaign against
traffic violators, which has been waged
this summer by the police.
The decrease in the number of ar
rests for intoxication comes In spite
of the fact that in 1914, while the
saloons were running, officers were
ordered to arrest only those who were
absolutely unable to walk alone, and
who did not have friends to take them
home. This year orders are to ar.
rest anyone showing the slightest evi
dence of being under the influence Of
liquor.

ONE TIME PAGE IN
GERMANY TAKES LIFE

Keokuk, Aug. 1S.-Ernest Kuespert,
aged f1fty-one years, a German en-
ploye at the Huiskamp shoe works
since 1892, committed suicide at his
home at 702 High street. He had
closed his room and turned on the gas,
not being found until he was beyond
recovery.
Kuespert is supposed to have grown
Respondent over late troubles. He
was recently let out of employment,
had physical troubles and was given
to drink. He has no known relatives
here and is known to have lost some
relatives in the present war, this news
probably augmenting his dependency.
He claimed to have been prominent
in his home country, was once a page
in the court Of Ludwig II Of Bavaria,
and had served in the German army,
being with the Germans when they
established their province in China.
His remains are being held pending
orders for disposition.
