It is the desire of Keokuk council No. 400, that you read at your next regular meeting the following an nouncement: We have unanimously endorsed Bro. J. G. Buss as a candidate for the office of grand sentinel of Iowa at the election to be held' in Keokuk at the grand council meeting in June. I Man who Is Capable. In announcing Bro. cuss' nomina tion, Keokuk council is placing a man who is capable and who is willing to do any amount of work for the bene fit of tha order at large. These two facts have been proved in the amount of effort he has put forth to make the entertainment this year a success and I we fesl that as there is an honor due him and long due Keokuk council, the office should be his. In placing Bro. Buss in nomination, Keokuk council realizes that they are nominating a man who will some day possibly be' grand councilor of Iowa. We have thought tha matter over carefully and have reached the con clusion that no better man than Bro. Bnss could have been selected and he will receive the unqualified, unanimous support of our delegates and our past senior councilor at the coming con vention. .. Liberality of Merchants. The liberality of Keokuk wholesal ers. jobbers, manufacturers and re tailors has been extremely gratifying! to the committee which has been so liciting funds. The success of the convention is practically assured by, this liberality on the part of the local business men. The U. C. T. convention will see to the decoration of the streets. The( merchants are being asked to deco rate their store fronts on the three* days the convention is here, and most of them have shown a disposition tq do so. Special badges will be display ed by the delegates, and with several brass bands, and all sorts of stunts planned, the convention will prove a lively proposition. Committees in Charge. Big delegations are expected from Des Moines and Muscatine, Burling ton, Waterloo and* Sioux City. Other Iowa councils will send delegates and it is expected that there will be sev eral hundred people here during the three days. The committee chairmen for the convention follow: Finance and entertainment. Joseph. G. Buss: publishing and printing, H. A. Bank: program, G. C. Johnson deo orations, A. C. Majors: paradte, W. A. Balbach music. A. W. Hulson hotels, J. L. Daugherty receptions, J. W. Clark. AMUSEMENTS. "September Morn." And now comes the welcome musi cal comedy, the original fun bug— this time it's a bran new, up-to-the minute musical tumble of song and girls called "September Morn." It is one of the best travelling organize tions ever sent forth by Messrs. Row land & Clifford1, and the chorus is said to be the finest collection of buds from the garden of American beau ties. The play, of course, gets its name from the painting of the same name which stirred up comment from coast to coast. The story of the piecfc has to do with the aspirations of one, Rudolph Plastric, owner of an art studio, who claims to have been the painter. Of course, Rudolph does not even know how to paint a picket fence. The model of "Serptemb^*} Morn" is laid claim to by an actress who has instructed her press agent to circulate the rumor that she is the original. Tha ludricous moments when the two impersonators are dodging each other and when a chesty old army officer, who has fallen in love with the actress, discovers that she is a good friend of his wife's, creates enough laiffehter and plot for six musical pla^s. The scenery is prettily designed iail painted and the tr? FV,« '1 Fraternally yours, A. H. CUSHMANY Secretary. For hotel rates, atfdresg J. L. Daughrity, 205 Blondeau, Keokuk, la.
