Their the sentiment favoring peace.
The question will be brought before
the Civic league as the logical Keokuk
organization to take it up. Jane Adj
dams Is chairman Of the Woman's
Peace Party and Carrie Chapman Gait
Of New York is vice chairman. The
purpose is to enlist all American
women in arousing the nation to re-
spect the sacredness of human life
and to abolish war.
The platform has in It eleven
planks. the first Of which Is a decla-
ration against the United States adj
ding to its war equipment and against
even the suggestion that this nation
shall be drawn into the present aw-
full world war. There seems to be no
question in the minds Of the officers
and directors of the league who have
been spoken to on the question, but
that the Keokuk women will comply
with Miss Coles request.

dren had gone to a closet with a
lighted candle in search Of some play

out Of the building and it was thought
that it would be entirely consumed.
By heroic work Of the volunteer de-
partment and the citizens, the house
was saved although badly damaged.
Adjoining residences, four in num-
Der, clustered close to the blaze, were
saved by vigorous work. These were
all frame buildings and there was con-
siderables alarm for their safety on

home was a handsome residence with
all modern improvements and the
damage will amount to about $1,000.

harness business, carried insurance Of

furniture. Some Of the furniture was
removed. the balance was consider
ably damaged by fire and water

chimes have been placed in the thea
tire, both of them being of the latest
and best type Of the present day. The
entrance to the theatre has undergone
extensive alterations. The manage
ment has made every effort to leave
nothing undone that might possibly
add to the comfort and pleasure Of
the patrons.
.danager Friedman stated today that
in the near future the theatre will be
equipped with large pipe organ. It
is impractical. he said, to put 1t in at
the present time, while the weather is
cold, but it will be installed as soon
as possible. When this is done, the
Hippodrome will be the first theatre
in this city and one of the very few
in the state to have pipe organ.
1t is predicted that under the new
management and new policy the Hip
podrome will not only be most success
full from a commercial standpoint, but
that it will prove to be an attraction
of such merit that the citizens of Keo-
kuk will take pride in it.
