STOLE MONEY
FROM. CHURCH
Burglar Breaks Into ST. Francis de
Sales Church and Rifles the
Box Containing the
Money for Candles.

Zero in conscience seems to have
been discovered in the mind of a
thief who broke into st. Francis de
Sales church Saturday night.
He broke open and rified the box
containing the nickels deposited in
it for payment for candles by the de.
vout and carried off the money. The
loss was discovered Sunday morning
The box is one with an opening
through which coin is dropped for
the candle which is the prayerful
light, and it is not emptied except
at intervals, so that there were a
few dollars in it when the con-
scienceless thief emptied it

Investigation of the Crime In the Al
ley Continues Vigorously, But
Has Not Attained Any
thing Definite.
TOOLS ARE INTERESTING
Miller and Ransford are Released
from Lack Of Evidence, and TWO
Other Men are Still Held
in jail.

With two men still held as real sus-
poets, and two others under arrest for
the Mcpherson shooting released, the
activities of the authorities in the
search for the right burglars goes on
as strenuously as ever.
Miller, arrested at Memphis, and
Ransford, arrested at Mount Sterling,
Illinois, were turned loose Saturday
night and left town with their wives
who had joined them here.
After a thorough grilling, both men
stuck to their alibi of being asleep in
the Grand hotel that Saturday night,
and investigation verified their story
as far as it could be checked. There
could be no evidence found of their
having left their room that night, and
the authorities felt that they could not
hold them any longer.

Have Appropriate Flag Day Exercises
at Rand Park Saturday After
noon with Picnic Supper
at End.
HAMILTON Is ORATOR
Makes a Comparison Of Principles for
Which America Fought in Each
Of Her Wars in
History.

The Flag day exercises conducted
under the auspices of the Keokuk
chapter. Daughters Of the American
Revolution, Saturday afternoon at
Rand park, were most impressive.
j. M. G. Hamilton of FIT. Madison
who was the orator, made an address
which will long be remembered for
it's eloquence.
The Keokuk Concert band played
a short program, which included an
overture, America, patriotic med
ley and the Star Spangled Banner
playing in its best manner.
Mrs. w. G. Blood, the regent OF
Keokuk chapter, D. A. R., presided
and made short Introductory
speech in which she called to mind
that Flag day is one of the chief
holidays in the D. A. r. calendar and
said that Of all years, this year gives
the greatest reason of any since revo-
'lutionary days for honoring our flag

Replace Roosevelt. Tree.


One feature of the exercises of the
'aftrnoon was the replacing of the
Roosevelt memorial tree, the original
tree planted by Roosevelt himself in
1908 having died.
Mrs. Blood said that the hard
maple tree which now stands beside
the Roosevelt marker had been pre-
scented to the D. A. R., and to the city
by Mrs. D. A. Collier who was chair.
man Of the committee.
Mrs. Blood spoke with much ap-
probation of Mrs. Golfers devotion
to the work Of the chapter as well as
to her generous public spirit.
In introducing Mr.. Hamilton, Mrs.
Blood said that he is revolutionary
descendant and near neighbor and
that as son of Judge William S.
Hamilton it was most appropriate
that he should be the orator of the
occasion.

Appreciates Keokuk PatrIotjsm.

''In the beginning 1 should like to
pay tribute to Keokuk's actual,
practical patriotism, in all features
of the war work, but more especially
in that affectionate interest you had
jim your soldiers" said Mr.. Hamilton.
mo other community, / am sure, SO
faithfully and consistently took its
soldiers to the train in farewell and
met them in welcome, as did Keokuk.
Whenever people gather today
there is ritual of the flag, and we
honor not merely the men of peace
who made this country, but we honor
the martial bravery which has al
ways been exhibited by the soldiers,
the defenders of our flag.
"Leonidas at the pass Of Their
mopylae, Hannibal and his Garth
agenians, Napoleon at the head Of
his legions of France. all make bril-
liant record in history for endurance
and heroism and for the glory of
war. But the Americans believe in
war only when it involves a conflict
of conscience.

Always for a Principle.

always lot
There has always been back of
American wars the defense Of great
principle. In the war just ended we
had all the Qualifications which en-
tered into all our former wars.
"In the revolutionary war there
was the protest against the constitu-
tional arrogance Of King George, but
that did not compare with the I'M
speakable arrogance of the Hohen-
zollerns and Hapsbergs.
\ 1--WE fought the war of 1872 be-
cause we could not stand the inn
pressment of our seamen in the high
seas. But that impressment did not
compare with the action Of Germany
in numbering OUR inoffensive citizens
on the high seas.
'Tn the Mexican war we fought to
deliver an empire and give it back
to civilization. Germany attempted
to enter Mexico and complicate that
situation again.
"In the war of the rebellion we
fought to prohibit any republic hay
ing within it's borders, human slay-
cry. But the enslavement of Belgium
and France as Germany overran
those countries far exceeded the
human slavery within our borders
before the civil war.
Continuing the Comparison.
"In the Spanish war we fought to
stop cruelty at our door, but the
cruelty of the German army to it's
enemies, and the Turkish cruelty to
the Armenians was inexpressibly
greater than any Spanish cruelty.
Because of all this the stars and
stripes were carried over seas to re-
turn to us in victory"
In speaking in that part Of the
program which had reference to the
replanting of the Roosevelt tree Mr..
Hamilton said:
Even those of us who could not
always follow the so-calIed political
.vagaries of Theodore Roosevelt.
never for one moment doubted his
absolutely sincere Americanism, and
knew that every action of his, he
sincerely believed to be for the best
interest of his country. l believe
that he advanced many theories
which seem to have died, even as
this first tree he planted here has
died, but / further believe that when
the people shall have advanced in
national thought to that place where
Roosevelt stood, those same theories

 Chandler Against Bill
 There is a general feeling Tn tre Chandler district that the proposed new law for the agricultural and hor- ticulturaI commission, house bill num- Der Ill, introduced in the legislature by MT. Galbraith, of Glendale, IS 2 poorer law than the present one. Tho bill provides for five commissioners instead of three and pays per diem for attending meetings instead or the present small salary of s2e0 per year. The present commissioners are on tho job practically all the time, The Chandler Member, W. H. Robinson, Is secretary, and without extra compep- sation, passes on all claims, records and attests them, in addition to af- tending to correspondence making quarterly and annual reports, etc.
 The president cf the commission. Andrew Kimball, and the third member the dean of the experimental stations. also occupy themselves with many things for the commission besides a1- tending meetings. It is stated that five members living in different parts of the state, receiving per diem only for attending meetings, would not only be more out of touch with the work but would greatly increase the ex- pense, much more than with three com missioners on the job every day.

NEW TRUCK WILL BE
 DISPLAYED IN MESA

In order to properly introduce to the people of the south side the new Olds- mobile economy truck, Sargent l.. l.. Brass, special truck salesman of the Ferguson Keeler company, will have this newest of trucks on display in Mesa all day Saturday. The truck will be parked on the street in front of the Chandler court where those interested may inspect it.
 Trucks, as a rule. do not cause the comment and admiration that a new model passenger car would arouse, for the average motorist naturally does not have use for them. but to the busi- ness man who is interested in trans porting his merchandise or to the farmer who cares to move his products to the market, quickly and economic ally, this latest truck innovation will prove of more than passing interest.
 It will surely prove interesting from the point of it's completeness of equip ment, as it comes ready for use, equipped with complete electrical system of ignition such as self starter and electric lights. It has a top, side curtains, wind shield and carries 35x5 Goodyear cord tires. It is also of in- terest to know that the Torbenson in ternal gear drive is used which is per haps the most successful drive, partic- ularly adaptable to trucking purposes The truck is manufactured by the huge Oids Motor works and carries no ex- ! cuSes
