resignation of DR.. G.. Walter Barr,
chairman of the donations committee

the board, made report which was
adopted. Following is the resolution
adopted:
Whereas, G. Walter Barr has been
one of the members of the board or
trustees of the Keokuk public library
since March, 1905, and has recently
filed his resignation as such member
on account of leaving this city to take
I'M his residence in Des Mcines, Iowa.
Therefore, be it resolved by the
board of trustees Of the ,Keokuk pub

citation Of the very faithful and efi-
cient services of Dr. Barr during his
long and active membership on this
board. His work has been most care
fully and enthusiastically performed,
and he has been conscientiously inter
ested in everything that pertained to
the welfare of this library. In con-
nection with his work as chairman OF
the donation committee, he has spent
a large part of his time In systematic
ing this department, re-arrang1ng the
donations hitherto received by the
library, in cataloguing same, and In
other ways taking cars OF the dona-
lions properly, and also in attending
to the proper expressions of recogni-
ton to the various donors. He mas

MYSTERIOUS DEATH
OF BOOKKEEPER
Body Fell Sixteen Stories and Was
Found With Mouth Gagged
and Pockets Empty.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
CHICAGO, March 12.-Confronted
by one of the most puZzling death
mysteries in recent months, city detec-
tives today were trying to determine
whether F. C. White, cereal company
bookkeeper, deliberately gagged him
self, turned his pockets inside out
and then hurled himself from a loop
buildings sixteenth story.
They inclined to believe the case
was suicide, although when found in
an alley his body was cold. They
suggested they had found some evi-
dence tending to show that White
spectacular death was carefully ar.
ranged by himself.
That he had quarreled with his
fancee, Miss Jennie Johnson. and that
he had recently been in i'll health,
were disclosed by letters in his cloth
ing.
Detectives said "stick-up" men never
would have turned Whites pockets
inside out, and they pointed out, no
evidences of struggle in Whites
office were visible. Watchmen had
seen him working overtime, but could
throw no light on the mystery.

HOTEL IS
OPEN FOR BUSINESS
New HosteIry is Pride Of Illinois
Town and Will Take Ample
Care Of Travellers.

BOWEN, ILL.,, March 12.-Rowen's
dream OF a modern hotel, long VI
sion, is now reality. The handsome
structure, built and financed by pub
lic-spirited citizens of the community,
at a cost of $4,000, was formally
opened to the public yesterday, the
event being celebrated by a banquet
served to nearly 500 people at a cost
of $3.50 per plate. 1t was the most
elaborate event of the kind ever held
in Bowen, and fifty celebrated an oc-
casion which is one of the most i'm
portant Bowen has ever experienced.
Modern in every way, handsome
and well designed, the hotel is real
credit to the community. Too often
this phrase has been used in trite
and almost meaningless sense but 1t
is literally true of the new Merchants
hotel in Bowen 1t is double
credit to the community. Rarely is
such a large, well-equipped hosiery
found in a town of $50 people. But
even more notable is the fact that the
hotel represents the progressive spir-
it of these people who have not been
content to build for their immediate
needs, but have looked forward to the
time when Bowen will be greater ana
more important. Their new hotel
will be ample to care for the bust
ness for the next score OF years, and
the wisdom of their course in build
ing such a house will become more
and more apparent as the months roll
by, and their sacrifice Of time and
means will become correspondingly
more respected and appreciated.
