KEOKUK HAS A
KICK COMING
Manager Vestal, Capt. Parsons, and
the Entire Team Claim That
They Were Robbed at
Burlington.
SCORE WAS SIX TO FIVE
Keokuk Penalized Many Times For
\Off Side Plays and Burlington
Man Refereed Both
Halfs.
When it comes to football officials
the Burlington high school has about
the poorest in the business. Although
the Keokuk boys do not like tc attrib
ute their defeat to poor work on the
part of officials, nevertheless, such
was certainly the case as it seemed
to be a foregone conclusion that Bur
lington was to win if there was any
possibility of it. When the game was
about to start McKinney of Bu.'Ungton
insisted on refereeing both halves of
the game—something unheard of and
a matter that is worthy of condemna
tion. This was backed by the state
ments that no expense money would
be given and the Keokuk boys were
forced to swallow the bitter pill. A
number of times in rapid succession
when Keokuk worked the ball to the
fifteen-yarc. line a penalty was in
flicted for off-side. So thoroughly
disgusted were the Keokuk boys that
they failed to remain for a big dance
to be given in the evening and utter
ly refused any hospitality on the part
of Burlington. When a team lowers
itself to winning a game in such a
manner—as Manager Vestal and the
players are certain of—the standing
of the athletics if the school ,s low
ered and no good derived.
The Game.
Keokuk lost by a score of 0 to 5, but
outplayed Burlington during the en
tire game. The first half was quite
sensational. Keokuk carried the ball
twice to the very verge of Burling
ton's goal and were penalized, the
result being that with a big gain on
the third down the ball reverted to
Burlington and was punted out of
danger. Long forward passes by Keo
kuk and spectacular return of punts
by Pechsteln enable Keokuk to as
sume the aggressive during the great
er part of the half.
In the second half after an exchange
of plays Captain Parsons intercepted
a forward pass by Burlington and
raced for a touchdown. The run was
a dandy and sent chills through the
veins of Burlington fans and ji'.ayers.
Keokuk then kicked off and Burling
ton was forced to take a great brace.
A series of line plunges and runs and
on-side kicks allowed Burlington to
advance the ball and push it over for
a touchdown. A goal was kicked win
ning the game for Burlington. Bur
lington papers mention the work of
Captain Parsons and Pechstein as be
ing viry brilliant.

NOBODY SEEMS TO
HAVE SIGNED IT
Trac/s Endorsement by the Labor
Unions of Burlington Does Not
Appear to be Official.
Dodgers have been thrown around
in Keokuk upon which are printed
the news that the Trades and Labor
Assembly of Burlington has decided
that Tracy is fair to union labor.
The union men of Keokuk, who
have picked these bills up off the
sidewalks and from the gutters, are
wondering why the circulars do not
give the resolution which is said to
have been adopted.
They are also wondering why the
circular is not signed by the officers
of the assembly.
While they are not saying that the
circular is untrue, they are wonder
ing why it is gotten up in such a slip
an be a if
such a resolution was adopted, the
resolution would be printed in full
and bear the signatures of the presi
d-nt and secretary.

QUICKLY CURES
STOMACH MISERY
All Your Stomach Misery and Dyspep-I
sia Vanishes Five Minutes 1
After Taking Some
Diapepsin.
STOP TAKING MEDICINES
Eat Your Favorite Foods Without
Dread of Indigestion or an Upset
Stomach Following—Let
Diapepsin Digest Your
Meals Until Your Stom­
ach Gets Strong.
There would not be a case of indi
gestion here if readers who are sub
ject to stomach trouble knew the
tremendous digestive virtue contained
in diapepsin. This harmless prepara
tion will digest a heavy meal without
the slightest fuss or discomfort, and
relieve the sourest, acid stomach in
five minutes, besides overcoming al!
foul, nauseous odors from the breath.
Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formula plainly printed on each
50-cent case of Pape's diapepsin, then
you will readily understand why this
promptly cures indigestion and re
moves such symptoms as heartburn,
a feeling like a lump of lead in the
stomach, belching of gas and eruc
tations of undigested food, water
brash, nausea, headache, billio\isnesr,
and many other bad symptoms: and,
besides, you will not need laxatives
to keep your stomach and intestines
clean and fresh.
If your stomach is sour or your
food doesn't digest, and your meals
don't tempt you, why hot get a 50
cent case today from your druggist
and make life worth living? Absolute
relief from stomach misery and per
fect digestion of anything you eat is
sure to follow five minutes after, and,
besides, one case is often sufficient to
cure a whole family or such trouble.
Surely, a harmless, inexpensive
preparation like Diapepsin. which will
always, either at davtlme or during
night, relieve your stomach misery
and digest your meals, is about as
handy and valuable a thing as you
could have in the house.
NEW MINISTER'S
FIRST SERMON
Rev. Robert W. Lilley of Corydon Be­
gins His Work in Keokuk With
the First Christian
Church.
GAVE TWO FINE SERMONS
Comes Highly Recommended and His
Initial Discourses Aroused the
Congregation—Sunday
School Rally.
Rev. R.
w.
Lilley, the' new pastor
of the First Christian church, preached
his initial sermons for the church
Sunday and addressed on both oc
casions large and deeply interested
audiences. The morning theme was
"The Mission of the Church," the
evening theme, "Power of Faith."
Both subjects were familiar ones but
Rev. Lilley presented them in a new
and in a most deeply spiritual way.
He at once won his way into the
hearts of the congregation by his
earnest spirituality and his beautiful
method of telling gospel truths. Rev.
Lilley is a pleasing speaker, a high
ly educated minister and comes to the
local church with high testimonial
from the ablest men in the Christian
church brotherhood. When Chancellor
Hill M. Bell, of Drake University, was
in Keokuk last week In connection
with the merger of the Keokuk Medi
cal College with Drake University, he
paid Rev. Lilley the compliment of
being one of the ablest men in the
church. He said Keokuk was fortu
nate to get him for a pastor. Rev. Lil
ley is well equipped for the ministry,
receiving the reuqisite college pre
paration to make him an able minis
ter. The church received a spontan
eous uplift from his sermons yester
day and everyone is encouraged.
Sunday School Rally.
Superintendent Van Ausdale of the
Sunday School is this month conduct
ing a rally month. Yesterday was
baby day and quite a number of the
little people were at Sunday School
despite the inclement weather. Next
Sunday will be ribbon day when each
person attending the Sunday School
will receive a ribbon. Hereafter the
Sunday School will begin at 10:00
o'clock instead of 9:45, dismissing at
10:45 so as not to interfere with the
regular church services.
If you suffer from constipation and
liver trouble Foley's Orlno Laxative
will cure you permanently by stimu
lating the digestive organs so they
will act naturally. Foley's Orino lax
ative does not gripe, is pleasant to
take and you do not have to take laxa
tives continually after taking Orino,
