[Groom
it
Wore Full Dress Suit, Made by
the Women Passengers and the
Bride Was Becoming
ly Gownfed.
A Tom Thumb wedding on the
steamer Quincy was a feature which
proved novel and amusing to the pas
sengers on the bi£ packet boat on its
trip down the river yesterday. Robert
Bees of this city, who was one of
the passengers on the boat, was a
West at this wedding. The groom in
the mock ceremony was Goode Ca
banne of St. Louis, and the winsome
jjtUe bride was little MIis Hortense
pitcher of Webb, Miss. The minister
who very correctly copied the solemn
ity of his older examples, was Paul
Hughes of Champagne, III. The flower
-iris were Florence Pachter of Webb,
Hiss., Olive Cabanne of St. Louis.
Geneva Padberg pf St. Louis was maid
of honor and the' ribbon bearers were
Ethel Murth of St. Louis and Esther
Traber of St. Louis. Jerome Brinck
inan of St Louis was the ring bearer.
Some of the mothers of the chil
dren who participated in the cere
mony took advantage of one of the
boat's stops to secure some ribbons
and some material out of which the
groom's Buit was made. It was the
"conventional black"—a full dress
coat and trousers which were made
by the women on the boat. The bride
"looked charming" in her gown of
white, a "filmy creation" of flounces
tnd laces and rufTles.
The cabin of* the Quincy was the
«cene of the wedding. Evergreens
which were procured from somewhere
were used for decorating the cabin.
Led by the ribbon bearers the bridal
party entered the cabin through a line
of spectators on either side of the
cabin. Members of the fife, drum
and bugle corps of Bock Island fur
nished the music and one of the pas
sengers played the wedding march in
true wedding style. The solemn pas
tor took his stand before the bride
and groom and the "I do's" and "I
wills" were said with all the solemn
ity of a real occasion.
Following the wedding, a children's
party was given on the boat and all
of the young people as well as the
older passengers enjoyed this feature
to the fullest extent.

CHANGE TO GIVE
Twin Girls, Who May Grow up ^s
Burdens to Society, Can Have'
Real Home If Keokuk Poo- ."v/vi
as pie Will Help.
MUST HAVE MONEY NOW
Babies Must be Sent to St. Anne's
Home Tonight and Fjind Must
be Forthcoming at
Once.
(Here's a chance for some Keolcuk
people to do a real philanthropic
thing—give twin baiby girls a good
home,-and save slociety tiie burden of
oaring for mother and baJbies both.
It will only take $20 or {26 at the
most, tout the money must be raised
by tonight. The amount can be left
at The Gate City office or cpn Ibe tak
en directly to the offices of the
United Charities on South Third
street, or Secretary D. A. Glascoff
can be communicated with at his
home by calling 1798.
Twin girls were btom Into the
world a week ago Sunday night.
Perhaps they are like many other un
fortunate baibiee, nameless. That has
nothing whatever to do with this
story. There is a chance to put them
into a home in St Louis, which will
take care of them, rear them proper
ly and make something better out of
theim than the streets will dp when
they grow u&>. If Keokuk people will
help them, they can be sent to this
home. It won't take much, while if
they were left to be reared here,
society might find the burden not
only irksome but expensive, as well.
St. Anne's home at St Louis will
take tiie babies. Twenty-five dollars
will pay all of the expenses to the
home,' and the necessary entrance
fees for the children. A real home
will be afforded these babies as they
grow up, and they will be brought up
in an atmosphere that will not he
tainted.
If Keokuk petople who feel that they
wish to help these babies to became
real helpful women rather than a
burden on society, will communicate
with Secretary Glascoff or leave their
contribution* with him, the babies
can be sent to St. Louis tonight If
they go at all, they must go tonight.
CARRANZA IS
CALLED ENEMY
New Revolutionary Party Will At
tempt to Unite All Mexican
Faction*
EL PASO, Texas, Aug. 22.—Declar
ing De Facto President Carranza the
worst enemy of Mexico and that his
rule could result only in factional
tyranny, Manuel Bonilla, former min
ister of the interior under Francisco
Madero, made the first public state
ment in behalf of the new revolution
ary party of "legalistas" here today.
Bonilla said that efforts were under
way to unite all Mexican factions
against Carranza. Meantime* United
States secret service men here and in
Juarez are watching closely the activi
ties of the new party.
"The Moderlsta faction, of which I
am a member, has cast aside all dif
ferences," Bonilla said. "Several fac
tions have united in a common effort
to free Mexico'from Internal troubles.
Some of the Carranza party have al
ready joined UB. We will endeavor
not to violate the neutrality of the
country which is sheltering us now."
Bonilla has just returned from
New York where he was enlisting aid
for the revolutionists.

WAS ALONE AT THE TIME
His Fireman Was Overcome With the
Heat and the Crew Had Taken
Him to Station, Leaving
the Engineer.
Quincy Journal: Being held up at
the point of a gun and vanquishing
two would-be robbers after receiving
a blow which split his scalp, was part
of the experience of C. It. Twyman,
engineer on a Burlington freight
train which pulled into .Eubanks from
Quincy at 9 o'clock Saturday night.
F. K. Kerlin, fireman on the freight
of which Twyman was engineer, was
overcome by the heat at the end of
the,run up grade to Eubanks, and
Twyman ran his train on a siding
and waited for another fireman to
be sent. The overcome fireman was
taken to Eubanks station by the re
mainder of the train crew, leaving
Twyman alone with his train, a short
distance east of the station.
Twyman, the engineer, told the
story of his experiences alter he was
left alone, as follows:
"I had been having trouble with
my air-brake train-line and knowing
that I would have to wait for some
time, I decided to repair the leaks
in the air-brake connections. I start
ed out with a monkey wrench and a
torch and had worked back about
thirty-five car lengths whe:i, just as I
had finished repairing a joint and
was rising, I heard some one say, 'Up
with your hands.' I supposed it was
my new fireman who had arrived and
was putting up a little joke on me,
but when I stood up I looked into the
barrel of a revolver and beyond the
revolver was a big negro.
"When I saw that I was in for real
trouble I struck the negro between
the eyes with my flaming kerosene
torch. He did not shoot, but let out
a howl of pain as the hot kerosene
splashed over his face. He staggered
back and I was struck a glancing
blow on the head which staggered
me, but did not put me under. A
white man who had been by the side
of the negro had struck me, but I
still held my wrench and aimed a
blow at him with it. He took the
blow on his shoulder 4nJ ran down
the track, soon gaining on me when
I chased him. I let fly with the
wrench, but missed him.
"I did not know what might follow,
so I put out my torch and backed up
against the train to await the next
move. The negro had disappeared
and I heard the white man runnnig
down the track towards Eubanks. In
a few minutes, when nothing had
happened, I returned to my engine
and then went to a railroad telephone
a short distance away, where I called
up the station and told the crew what
had happened, asking if they were
ready to come to the train. My re
lief fireman had arrived and the crew
joined me in a few minutes.
"I had only a few dollars and my
watch with me at the time. It is my
belief that the two were hopping a
ride on my train, which was a long
freight, and that they saw me repair
ing the air-line and knew that I was
alone. I am sure the negro must
have been marked where I burned
him with the torch between the eyes."
Twyman's wound was an ugly cut
in the head, probably made by a
"black snake." Three stitches were
needed to close it, but he was in good
condition yesterday and able to make
his run. The hold-up men have left
no clew and probably are miles away
by now.

Harrison Root Is Victim of Clever
Ruse While Driving on
Road Out of Min
neapolis.
IT IS SOMETHING NEW
He Saw Car at Side of Road Evident
ly in Distress and When He
Offered to Help, Faced
Revolvers.
The newest wrinkle in automobile
hold-ups was perpetrated on a former
Keokuk resident and his wife and two
friends while driving out from Min
neapolis on the Lake Minneonka drive.
Harrison Root son of Mr. and Mrs. J.
L. Root, former residents of Keokuk,
was the victim. He and his wife and
two friends were driving out this road
when they saw a machine, apparently
In trouble at the side of the road.
There were two men working over the
machine and Mr. Root, observing the
courtesies of the road, pulled up in Tils
car and offered to help the stranded
ones.
Imagine his surprise when he found
himself confronted by two bandits,
bold enough to work without wearing
masks, who leveled revolvers at Mr.
Root and his party. The men were
ordered to get out of the car and the
women were ordered to get out and
go across the road. The men showed
fight and one of the bandits fired his
revolver so close to Mr. Root's face
that he was burned. They "frisked"
the two men, getting between $15 and
430 from Mr. Root.
It seems, according to the newspa
per which reported this holdup, copies
of which were received by Keokuk
people, that this Minnetonka drive is
a favorite haunt of hold-up men and
bandits,' and that robberies are re
ported from here every evening. The
stunt which was tried out on Mr. Root
and his party, however, seems to
have been something new.
Some local people are driving in
the vicinity of Minneapolis this week
and since receiving word of this hold
up, their friends here are wondering
if they will encounter similar treat
ment
Grain Letter.
CHICAGO, Aug. 22.—Leading Hold
ers took advantage of the strength in
duced by sharply higher oalbles to
take profits. The market lacked the
usual snap on the buying side and
prices continued to decline until
stop loss orders were encountered.
The volume of buying also increased
on the break, and trade was large.
The report that the cause of the allies
might be strengthened was regarded
as bearish. The most slgnificent
piece of news is a report that over
two million (bushels of hard winter
wheat had been worked for export
yesterday and today, and that there
are further bids for good sized quan
tities in the martiet The technical
position of the market fully accounts
for today's setback, which in no way
chahges the fundamental bullishness
of the wheat situation.
Corn—Further selling from the
same interests Jhat were on that
side of the market yesterday and the
decline in wheat, gave easier tone to
corn. The decline was stubborn and,
at the low (point prices are only etotrnt
2% cents from the top. Crop reports
are conflicting, but bicibh Industrial
concerns and railroads Insist that a
serious reduction in the crop occur
red from heat and drouth, and that
indications are for a crop of very
moderate Bize. Selling should be
confined to good bulges.
Oats—Oats showed a little inde
pendent strength and, after an early
bulge on buying by cash 'Houses, av
eraged ibelow last night's close. Lib
eral receipts and difficulty in secur
ing cars are the principal bearish
factors. On moderate declines, the
buying side looks the .better, because
of the anticipated big demand this
year from Europe.
