How are we to obtain peace ask
ed a prominent member in the Aus
trian reichstag on Saturday, IF we
cling to the German side? Must we
continue to sacrifice interest to
the expansion of Germany? Must we
continue to submit to the German
militarism that has drawn us into
this war" Put these utterances, for
which but a short time ago imprison-
ment would have been quickly given,
together with the ferment in Ger
many, and it certainly betokens
Change perhaps the beginning of the
end.

Those writer's who comment upon
the retirement of Bethmann-Hollweg
by saying, though the Chancellor
changes the German masters remain
the same" are justified in thus min
imizing the immediate effect of the
late political %upheaval in Germany.
Nevertheless it betokens internal con
ditions which may any day result in
revolution. The clamor against butch
cry, starvation and all kinds of mis-
cry and repression may be mOmentari-
ly appeased, but nothing is going tc
end it save sweeping victories or
the prospect of a speedy peace!

PIANO RECITAL

Voicing the wish and sentiments
of the Parent Teachers Association,
Music Teachers, and Public School
Teachers,I write these lines Of ex-
pressing gratitude and appreciation
for that most excellent musical pro-
gram rendered by Mrs. Cora Cox Lu-
cas- of South Carolina, on the 7th of
March, at the city school auditorium
Such artistic skill and exquisite taste
as presented should be appreciated
and commended to the young stu
dents, and should be fostered uni
versally SO as to stimulate their taste
for the highest ideals, as all students
rise no higher than their ideals. OBJ
serving such excellent performances
as were rendered is an inspiration to
older citizens and l am sure it will
kindle glow of increasing inspira-
tion to those of younger life to cause
them to aspire for the highest possi-
BILE attainment We assure her that
we all esteem her as one Of the great
molders of character who are blessing
the world Let it be further said We
are more than anxious to have her
make another visite soon and delight
us again. May her health be vigor-
Gus and her life long, so as to bless
and help many along the pathway Of
life's journey. Come often.
Yours in sincerity,
A PARENT.

GAR OF RUSSIA DEPosED

In short but successful revolution
in Russia, Czar Nicholas has been
deposed and a new government in
process of establishment, with Grand
Duke Michael Alexandrovitch, bro
ther of the Czar, made Regent.
The revolution was brought about
by the Cars refusal to heed the will
of the people, and his ordering a
dissolution of the Duma. This event
is remarkable in that it was brought
to conclusion in so short a time
and with so small a number of casu-
alties. The Gear was away from
Petrograd at the time. The people
seem to be determined to carry on
the war against Germany to sue
cessful conclusion.

TRY A SACK

was on the auction order and Herman
Berger, Jr., cried the sale and sold a
great amount of goods that brought
fair prices. 1t is estimated that over
one hundred autos and other vehicles
were in Nauvoo that day. Nothing is
too good in Nauvoo for the farmers,
and it looks good to see them drive
in and use all the hitching racks and
curb space.
On Saturday afternoon, April 81,
there will be school election held in
Nauvoo when a president and mem
Der Of the district board Of education
will be selected. Jos. Nelson has been
announced for president and Virgil
Nicaise as member of the board.
The polls will be held in the district
school building in Nauvoos second
ward.
Nauvoo city authorities have had
the cutters and streets cleaned where
the hitching racks abound. They were
In an awful filthy condition and when
cleaned only remain SO for short
time
The steamer Keokuk, that makes
the Nauvoo landing every Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday, is doing q
large freight business out Of this port
soon as the weather warns up bit
her passenger business from here will
pick up considerable.
Everybody in Nauvoo is anxious to
see the daily newspapers now to read
the war news. 1t is too bad that the
Keokuk Daily Gate City cannot get
here on the evening it is printed, but
the Nauvoo interurban will soon be
running.
Two cases Of infantile paralysis are
reported in Nauvoo, which were dis
closed Friday. A seven-yearold son
Of Mr.. and Mrs John Marzolf, who
live in the northeast part of the city,
has this dreaded disease badly and his
life is held in the balance at this time.
The other is the thirteen or fourteen
year old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Burn eister, who live down in
the first ward. The children have
been going to school and the Nauvoo
institutions of learning have been
dismissed until further notice or
to await the outcome of the disease.
The homes in which the cases are re-
ported have been guaranteed and
every effort is being made to arrest
