Admit Ten to Citizenship-Ten ap-
plicants for citizenship to the United
States were admitted at the hearing
before Judge Theophilus, conducted by
H A. Wilson OF St Louis, naturaliza-

that of George Altman, be-
cause of changing his residence from
Davenport to Muscatine. The petitions
of three others were continued until
the June term of court here, on &C
count of the ignorance of the appli-
cants. One, Herman Nicklaus, labored
under the impression that the reason
for celebrating the Fourth of July in
this country was because of the war
between the north and south. He
firmly adhered to this opinion. and re-
peated it emphatically. The other two
whose cases were continued were Orie
Greenblatt and Primo Contri. Follow
