IMPROMPTU But
ENTHUSIASTIC
knights Of Columbus Hold a Banquet
Last Evening Which Was Largely
Attended and Much En-
Joyed by Members.
HEAR IRISH QUESTION
Prepare for TWO Big Tri-clty initia-
tions to Occur in April and May
at Burlington and
Fort Madison.

No great preparations were made
for it, but it was as enthusiastic as
it was impromptu-the banquet OF
De la Sale council of knights of Co
lumbus in their hall last evening.
AT the tables were $50 members
of the council and few guests from
Warsaw and other towns who hap
pened to be in town.
After the coffee and cigars were
served, some good speeches were
made and applauded. Rev. Francis
Cleary, of Warsaw, made another of
his eloquent addresses which have
become famous here. He spoke of
several things for the good Of the
order, and discussed the Irish ques-
ton.
He recalled that Ireland was once
nation of the highest culture and
standing, while now she is vassal
to a crown to which she feels she
owes only the allegiance common
surate with the degree OF freedom
granted her.
Prepare For limitations.
Edward w. McManus made an
other good speech on matters con-
nected with the work of the Knights
of Columbus.
Considerable time was consumed
in arranging for the part OF De la
Sale council in the next big tri-city
limitations, which will occur In April
and May, following one in each of
the three cities lately.
The first will be at Burlington on
April 81, and the second will be at
Fort Madison on May Is.
De la Sale council will have a
number of initiates at both, and will
have an important part in the cere.
monies on both occasions.
Delegates to State Convention.
Chester B. Schouten and ]. D. Baur
were elected delegates to the Iowa
state convention of the knights Of
Columbus.
P. C. Finn was made the alternate
for Mr. Schouten, and Edward w.
McManus was elected the alternate
for Mr.. Baur.
The state convention will be held in
Ottumwa in May, and a number OF
the Keokuk K G. members intend to
attend its sessions.
