Voters Should Bear In Mind That
Saturday viii be the Last Chance
to Get Names on
tho Books.
MUST NOT MISS VOTE
Only Way to Get a Voice In These
National and State Issues No
vember 7, Is to
Register.

During the first three days of
registration for the general election
on Tuesday, November Z, 1857 voters
put their names on the registration
books. In the majority of the pre-
cincts the registration was light and
an effort will be made to get the full
number of voters on the list next
Saturday which will be the last day
for registering before the election on
Tuesday except for newly naturalized
citizens, those who become of age or
would become of age November 5,
or Z, or for anyone who can make
affidavit that they were not in the
city on any one Of the four previous
registration days.
The registration is thousand less
than the vote which was polled in
1914 at the city election. and which
was one of the biggest votes for such
an election. Ia practically every pre-
cinct but the first there is falling
off Of more than so to 200. The gen.
eral feeling is that this lack will be
made up on Saturday.
The following table shows the num-
Der registered in the first three days !:
First precinct .................. 1870
Second precinct .................4 96
Third precinct ..................5 12
Fourth precinct ................3 80
Fifth precinct ................... 438
Sixth precinct NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 30
Seventh precinct ................3 1881
IOtal :. $50
The registration boards are busy
today making up the alphabetical
list of voters in the vartou] pre-
cincts. This is going to take consid,
cradle time. The first ward registrars
expect about sixty more to- register
in that district. There is falling
off of some 200 in the fourth ward
that registrars there cannot account
for.
J. A. Samuels of Ninth and Con
cert streets, g. years old, was the
Oldest voter in the third ward who
has registered up to date. There are
a number Of 80 year old voters
throughout the city.
1t would be well for the voters to
bear in mind the fact that there is
still one more day on which they can
register, and that is next Saturday
when the registration boards Will be
in session.

ADJUSTMENTS.
An Euening
Uith
Neil O'Brien

The drawing power Of Neil O'Brien
and his company of co-laborers in the
amusement field was given a one hun
dred per cent boost Saturday night
when the minstrel troupe appeared at
the Grand before an audience that
crowded The house from pit to dome.
And by that token it is demonstrated
that old-time minstrelsy is a dead
one, at least in Keokuk. What was &C.
copied years ago as negro minstrelsy
is in the discard, and now, under the
new regime. one looks for the spec
tacular in scenic offerings and for
acts that are plainly Of vaudeville
character. And O'Brien and his fell
low players give all that, and so long
as those who pay for seats or standing
room are perfectly satisfied there is
no occasion for fault finding on the
part of those who long for return Of
the good old times when the southern
darkey was presented On the stage in
his habit as he lived. ..
Neil O'Brien may well be proud of
the reception accorded him. His stories
and songs were new and laughter pro-
voking. Eddie Ross, known to all who
have ever attended a minstrel perform
ance, was there in all his glory and dis
2oursed sweet music on his famed
African harp" The whistiing solo
this actor offered was new. if his
stories were not.
The first part was made up of must
cal numbers of rarely beautiful melody
and The after acts gave good ground
for free exercise of the risibilities,
and that exercise was INDUCED in to
the limit by the people in front.
O'Brien's minstrel show. taken as di-
rected, affords certain relief for any
attack of the blues.
Vaudeville at the Grand PIeases.
The policy of devoting two nights
| out Of every week at the Grand to
good, clean vaudeville and at popular
prices, met with instant favor as the
announced program for yesterday and
today, was witnessed and applauded
by big audiences last night.
The program to be repeated tonight,
includes frankie Seigal, novelty in
girl minstrelsy, who sang coon songs
and told minstrel jokes; Dolph and
Susie Levina in full stage comedy
act which brought much laughter and
closed with some free hand rapid
drawing by Dolph Levine. The third
act is Of clever limitations, principally
Of birds, by Poshay and White, with
bits Of comedy interviewer. Three old
soldiers, really old fellows, close the
program, with selections of old time
songs, fife and drum specialtfes and
other instrumental music. They gave
excellent satisfaction, as in fact did
the entire bill.
Prices at the Grand's vaudeville to-
night are 1Oc, 15c and Csc and seats
are reserved for the night shows at
| 7:15 and 900 o'clock. Next weeks
| vaudeville days will be Tuesday and
Wednesday.
An innovation at the Grand hereaft-
er will be the appearance each after
noon and night OF the opera house
orchestra which will play for the
pictures, the photoplay program be-
ing changed every day now at the
Grand. The next picture program Is
return date of Fatty Arbuckle in
The Other Man, with w. H. Thomp-
son in The Eye Of the Night-Adver-
tisement.

"Civilization."

Nothing thus far ever filmed so
wildly affords the spectator an in
sight into modern warfare, with its
attendant horrors, as does "Civiliza-
ton" soon to be here. for in the pic
lures many great battle scenes moth
ing but the most modern and up-to-
date armament is employed. Even
the aeroplanes seen in the pictures
are not those used customarily for
exhibition purposes, but all are air
machines built strictly for military
use. Several types of the planes are
shown in "Civ1lization," and they in
clude the swift scouting machine,
constructed for observation work;
the heavier and more cumbersome
aeroplanes. designed as a raider, and
from which death dealing explosives
are dropped; and also the armored
air fighter, whose duty it is to drive
the enemy's airships from the skies.
Students of aeronautics will. there
fore. find much to interest them in
closely watching the flights made by
the sky fighters in "Civilization." In
previous military pictures, where
aeroplanes were used, directors Sc
cured the services of the usual ex-
hibition machines and were content.
Not so with Mr.. Ince, for be was
not satisfied until the q. S. army
authorities had given him permission
to use each Of its various types OF
air fighting machines, and in the
picture the planes seen are all guild
ed by U. S. military aerialists. See

PAENS HIS WIFE FOR $34;
LIVELY FIGHT TO REDEEM HER
Court Settles Dispute and Husband
Pays SAL

NEW ORLEANS, May 19.-In January,
Spurgie Gates. then jobless, faced tough
times and an unpaid board bill for himself
and wife at C. Il. Browns, 1902 Blenville
street
Everything of value the couple possessed
had found its way into the pawnshops but
still S34 was due Brown, who grow
ing rate. Gates figured that he had one
more possession that he could pawn. II
was his wife.
Would Brown take Mrs. Gates and hold
her as security for the uncollected ac-
count? Sure! In fact, he beamed upon
Gates proposal. The pawn ticket was
duly made out, the wife delivered to the
landlord and Gates set out with high re-
solves.
The husband had enough money yester-
day to get his wife out of pawn. Brown
asked for the return of the pawn ticket
before delivering his security. Gates
couldn't find it, Thereupon an argument
ensued over the question of principal and
interest, and the two men fought while
the woman sat on her trunk. not knowing
whether she was liberated or still hostage.
Judge ID. Chamberlain settled the argu-
ment. He allowed Brown S41 and Gates to
receive back his pledge. Then the Judge
fined the men SIS each and an equal share
of the court costs for disturbing the peace.
