 According to Kramer Halloran thought he could speak Mex. The jab- bering was kept up for some time, and finally things were looking dubious. The soldiers insisted on doing one thing while Halloran was equally per sistent on doing the other.
 Things were very near the verge of another international dispute, when Kramer suggested that they go and find someone who spoke English. They went back, and there an officer very obligingly informed them that Halloran was under arrest for shoot ing by the customs house in a dis respectful manner on the way into Mexico

being at a premium. It was the oc- casion of d patriotic song service, in- dulged in alike by the audience and pupils of Alma Ward school.
 The special features consisted of an address by Prof. Murdock of the Tempe Normal school, his subject being: The Life of Washington" The talk was both entertaining and inspiring. MT Murdocks little daughter, who seemed to be not over five or six years old so pleased the audience with her first recitation that she was compelled to respond to four encores. Perfectly self possessed was the little lady as she brought forth from her repertoire the various numbers.
 Intermingled with the special selec- tions by the pupils were two renditions by a male quartete composed of w. $. Shrine, Jr., Henry Behrman, J. F. Lisonbee and Conrad Kleinman. One of their selections was pantomimed by several girls. The singing was in charge of Miss Glenn, music director of the Alma school.

The death of George W. Wilson, one of the very early residents of Tempe, occurred at the hospital in Florence yesterday morning and the remains were shipped to Tempe last evening" where interment will take place. MT. Wilson has been ailing in health for several years and some time ago he moved from the ranch home of his daughter at Oracle, where he had been staying, to the hospital al Florence where, despite the best of medical attention he con- tinued to fail in health until the end came early yesterday morning.
 The deceased until few years ago made Tempe his permanent home. He was an honored member of the Inde- pendent Order of odd Fellows, the Knights of Pythias and the Modern Woodmen, and was always a most enthusiastic worker for the best in terests of Tempe. Mir. Wilson upon locating here some thirty years or more ago owned the land that is now occupied by Goldman addition and the normal school campus. and
 
 cated here, is credited to MT Wilson's generosity in donating for that pur- pose the land which is now the school campus.
 The deceased is survived by two daughters, Mrs. s. O. Thompson of oracle and Mrs. Clara Gray of Phoe- nix, and three sons. James, George and William Wilson, who make their homes at Globe.

EVANS SCHOOL vs. MESA HIGH

A game of baseball Friday afternoon between the Evans and High school team resulted in a victory of ten to four in favor of the Evans boys. Mesa high insists that they were slipped up on because they thought it would be easy. Said insistence doesn't hurt Ev- ans and possibly consoles the losers. At any rate, the high school team are out for the state championship and eX- pect to have a try for it at Tucson. In fact, they claim with very reasonable degree of authority that they are al- ready entitled to the title. The girls basket ball team will play at Tucson on March 15 for the state champion ship. It is intended to charter a spe- cial and carry representatives from the southside schools.

Sunday, May Fourteenth Set as the
Date for Observance of
American sibhc
Society.
rs A NATIONAL FEATURE
All Pastors of the City to Speak on
tho Theme 1.-THE Bible and
Civilization on the
Date Set.

The.pastors of the various churches
of the city have decided to observe
Sunday, May IA, as centennial day
for the American Bible society. The
work of this organization has been
SO interviewer with the development
of the American republic that the
observance OF it's centennial, especial
Iy by the christian public of America,
seems emineniay fitting. Public meet
ings are to be held all over the coun-
try at convenient times and the cele-
brations are to be an occasion for the
exaltation of the holy scriptures, and
their relation to the churches, to so
ciety, the family. the religious expert
ence to the individual. and the spirit
uaI power OF the whole body of Christ.
The pastors wished to hold note
worthy celebration and at first deem
ed it wise to have a union service,
but later it was decided, through a
committee cons listing of Rev. e. Lee
Roy SteTey and Rev. F. B. NcAllis-
ter, since Mothers day comes on the
same Sunday and some pastors de-
sired TO observe that hour in the
morning and some in the evening, TO
observe the day in the various
churches at the hour most convenient
for the individual church However,
each pastor viii speak on the theme,

Sanders says that men say they sign.
ed these water power tax petitions
under compulsion, and because OF
certain policies or interests. I want
to say that not single man who
signed that petition asked to have
his name taken off. yet | know OF
one man who signed the petition he
was circulating, who wanted his
name erased.
The town has been characterized
as being dead. There is not man in
it, but who knows that Keokuk is a
thousand times more alive now than
1t was few years ago. In 1905 our
population was 14.400. In 1910 it
was 14,G4S, and in 1915 1t was 1920.
And yet they say that Keokuk is
dead and dying. 1t is one of the few
cities of the Estate which is showing
an increase, and yet you would tie
the hand of the laboring man. the
manufacturer and ALL Keokuk is not
dead, Il has been growing, and it has
bright future"
There seemed to be nothing more
to be said, so that motion to adj
journ was passed with a hurrah, and
the meeting went in Keokuk's history
as testimonial of loyalty Of her
citizens to the town.
