Shortly after three o'clock yester day afternoon, four young ladies, Miss Elsie Bode, Miss Clara Trott of the Keokuk Savings Bank, Miss ISmmis Nlvling, general secretary and Miss Meta Kummer, physical director of the Y. W. C. A. with skates and smiles wended tlieir way to the qanal where they spent an enjoyable time cavorting about the smooth mirror. One. of the -party, Miss Kummer, was delayed behind the other members dur ing the sport, adjusting a skate strap. Suddenly and without warning, the dreaded c-r-a-c-k, splash and gulp of the apperature's mouth, that is so familiar to the old skatesman, re sounded up the canal, and three lad ies, with simultaneous expressions of disgust and almost horror, of the sit uation, found themselves floundering in the deep of Uncle Sams' waterway, .lust at this stage of the game, a real live hero, in the personage of a young man, Karl itossiter, who is employed at the first lock shops ,put in an ap pearance and gallantly went to the rescue of Che immersed young ladies and succeeded by careful maneuver ing, in pulling the cold members of the skating party from the icy water.

Sporting News The awakening this week in the game of pool brings to mind the fact that pool and billiards are not given the relative standing among other pastimes that they should have, when it is taken into consideration the num ber of people daily engaged in the sport.

When your stomach is out of order Or run down, your food doesn't digest. It ferments in your stomach and forms gas which causes sourness, heartburn, foul breath, pain at pit of stomach and many other miserable symptoms. heretofore practically no attention has been given the game. Now that a league has been formed it is expected that people will turn their attention to it and follow the science and progress from this time on. It is interesting to note the large army of followers the cue games have in the United States. There are approximate ly '60,000 billiard parlors in the coun, try including public and private hails, lodges, .M. C. A. and the like. In smaller cities there are fewer tables, while in larger cities they are more numerous, but the number in all would reach the 300,000 figure. Each of these tables to be self supporting must bring in an income of two dol lars per day. The average charge is fifty cents per hour. That means that not less than four men per table, and a minimum of 1,200,000 men throughout the country play bil liards and pool one hour each day. That vast army is required to pay the running expenses of 60,000 rooms. The same men do not play pool Dr bil liards every day, and it is safe, there fore, to estimate those who actually play the game two or three days every week at not lesB than 3,000,000. P.

Quincy Whig: The crack bowling team at K'eokuk comes down this evening to meet the picked team of the O'Brien alleys, which will repre sent Quincy at the national tourna ment to be held in Detroit next month. The regular scheduled match in the Handicap league at the alleys v.-ill start at 7:30 o'clock this evening, in order to allow time for the big match to be rolled in. The Keokuk team is the one that defeated the locals earlier in the winter, and a spirited contest is looked for. The Quincy team will be composed of Hoffman, O'Brien, Gu8 VandenBoom, Joe VandenBoom and Frank Bruggeman. In the game between the Cubs and the Globes last night not any of the Globe bowlers showed up and only two of the Cu* were ready for action. The former team was given its average score, while the two Cubs carried the aver ages of their team-mates, winning all three games.

THE DAILY GATE CITY SINNER REPENTS MONEY RETURNED Party Who Entered Drexel Hall Tues day Night and Robbed Regiser, Makes Partial Return of Money. DOES IT THROUGH PRIEST Very Rdv. James Gillispie, Pastor of St. Peter's Summoned Pro- prietor Gray—Prose- cut'ton at End. The person who carried away two money bags containing about forty dollars from the Drexel billiard hall Tuesday night is repentent. Last evening Proprietor Thomas Gray received a summons from Very Rev. James Gillespie, pastor of St. Peter's Catholic church, the character of which he did not know at the time. Arriving at the pastor's home he was rewarded by the return of twenty dol lars, or Just about half of what was stolen, and received the promise that the balance of the stolen money would be returned In full at an.early date. In return Mr, Gray promised that all prosecution will be dropped, although he himself, and possibly no one else but the priest is aware of the per son's identity. Mr. Gray has fulfilled his part of the agreement, having, no tified Marshal Henry Kesselring to prevent any attempts to apprehend the party. Tells Part of Story. Mr. Gray's visit to the parish house of Father Gillespie resulted in him learning a few of the details ot the robbery. It seems, according to the priest, that the party, for thcxe was but one intimately associated with taking the money, was under the in fluence of liquor at the time. He commited the act and then it is thought went and spent quite a part of the money with friends. During the day he realized the full gravity of his crime and grew repen'-snt. Visiting Father Gillespie he confided In Lim and turned over twenty dollars—all be had left after a night of carousing on ill-gotten goods, Near to Pastor. In speaking to a reporter about the matter today Mr. Gray voiced in a strong manner the close confidence which the party had in the pastor of St. Peter's Catholic church. He was not reticent about expressing his views as to this phase in the Cath olic religion, which, he 6ays, works a greater good than anything else. The complete confidence that this man had in the pastor and the fact that he went and truthfully told the whole story, will serve to materially change him, and make his unlawful act prob ably the last one that he will com mit, according to further views ex pressed by this ex-United States .mar shal. ,* TO-NIGHT Task for Genial Sportsman.

There is not a deficit of $17,000,000, as the department alleges, but actually a surplus of more than $10,000,000, when the specific loss on free rural delivery is taken into consideration, and the de partment's figures of $64,000,000 loss on second-class matter are wrong by more than, $60,000,OQO. THE SATURDAY EVENING POST for February 12th devotes its editorial page to this subject, showing the injustice of the recommendation to raise the rate on all magazines and periodicals—but not on daily papers or the country weeklies.
