On Thursday, Feb. 26, 1920, our
hearts were saddened by the appear
ance of death into the home of A j.
Pennington which took away the
brightest jewel his step daughter,
Sophia Lucille Sparks age 25 years, 4
months and rs days. She was stricken
with influenza and bronchial pneu-
monia, only lasting eight days. Every
thing that kind. loving hands and
earthly physicians could do was done
to relieve her suffering. but death
claimed her as its own and ended all.
She became a member of the Meth
odist church in 1909 under the ministry
or Bro. Savage and from that time on
lived devoted Christian While she
never made any great display of her
religion yet she trusted in the God
that giveth and the God that taketh.
was with her until the end and know
from what | saw and heard her prec-
ious soul is at rest today, safe in the
arms of Jesus. During all her sickness
her gentleness and kindness was in
Idescribable and she chung TO life with
every effort that her weakened body
could afford, and almost her last words
We're, Il am getting better" yet she
realized her condition and left the
assurance that all was well with her
soul. 1t is such consolation to know
that she has now anchored her ship in
the harbor of Jesus.
She will be sadly missed by those
left behind, both relatives and friends,
for they were many. She had such a
lovable disposition that to know her
was to love her and that smile of well
come that she always had for every
one will be no more. but we know that
when we depart this life that Sophia's
voice will be in the choir that will sing
our welcome home.
She leaves behind two sisters, Belva
Sparks and Mrs. DIR. Holbrook, of
Paintsville; two half sisters, Bessie
and Thelma Pennington. The funeral

A meeting of baseball fans ana

Grounds association will be held to-
morrow evening in the superior court
rooms. The meeting will be called
at 1880 o'clock.
The purpose Of the meeting will be
to discuss the organization OF a Sat

ball park in case such a club IS sane
toned.
1t is expected that the fans will
turn out in big numbers and express
their opinions in the matter. The
meeting will have vital significance
for Keokuk.
There has been no organized base
ball in the city for years and num-
Der of the fans feel that now is the
time to start something of the kind.
While baseball every day in the week
may not pay, it is felt that the week
end games will pay, and for that
reason this plan is meeting with big
favor.
The association has the site for

FOUR SUICIDES
IN FIVE DAYS
Simon Hamilton of Memphis Shot
Self Between Eyes With Rifle
and Died In
stantly.
Especial to The Gate City.l

lOPcCldL ~ AC SIdIc SAtS y
MEMPHIS, Mo, Mar. 49, Simon p.
Hamilton, aged about twenty five
years, committed suicide in Memphis
Saturday afternoon. He was button
cutter and made good money. While
his parents were absent from their
home in West Memphis, he got his
twenty-five calibre rifle, sat on the
side of his bed, placed the muzzle ex-
actly between his eyes and fired, ap-
parently killing himself instantly.
The only explanation offered is disap-
pointment in love affair.
This suicide makes four within five
days in this county. Physicians say
oftentimes one suicide will cause an
other, but the first one, on March %.
has apparently caused three other
men to lay aside earthly cares. One
thing they do not consider and that is
the anguish of those left and in many
cases stark poverty staring in the face
those who remain, as in the case OF
the parents of the last suicide.

MINERS WILL
STICK ON JOB
Instructions Will Probably Be Sent
to Men to Keep at Work After
Wage Agreement Has
Expired

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
NEW YORK, March 29.-Instruc-
tions will probably be sent miners in
bituminous fields to remain on the
job after April 1, when the present
wage agreement with mine operators
expires, John L. Lewis, president of
the United Mine Workers of America,
said here today. The statement fol.
lowed a conference between union
leaders. The men conferred this
morning to discuss the demands
which they will instruct their scale
committee to make upon operators
when the joint conference opens late
today.
Lewis, in opening the caucus of
bituminous miners, explained that
the international officers did every
thing they could to get the most IA
vorable decision from the commits
sion.
The miners seemed to expect no
concession on hours, but said they
did expect more than the 81 day in
crease recommended for day work
ers. They will ask the operators to
make this award $1.35, as being more
equitable in view of the "a cents a
ton raise for pick and machine work
ers, they said.
The operators also held a caucus.

CORRESPONDENTS

III BY WEBB Miller, united fTeSS otdiI
Correspondent
LONDON, March 30. Recent
event have strengthened the view
that an undivided Ireland is impos-
sible for legislative purposes, Ian
MACPHERSON, chief secretary for Ire
land in Prime Minister Lloyd
Georges cabinet, declared in the
house Of commons late today.
MACPHERSON opened the debate on
second reading of the prime minis.
ter's new home rule bill.
Conditions in Ireland, he said, have
STRENGTHENED the belief that an adj
visory council such as provided III
the bill is necessary.
The idea for secession OF any part
of Ireland is intolerable, MACPHERSON
asserted.
H. II. Asquith, former prime minis
ter and now leader of the liberal
forces in the commons, was to signal
ize his re-entry into public life with
vigorous opposition to Lloyd Georges
bill. Laborites were to join him. A
motion to reject the plan was ex.
pected.
Debate was expected to continue
three days. The prime minister, As
quith and other party leaders were
to participate.
