The public wedding at 4:00 o'clock this afternoon was the feature of the closing day of Keokuk's big fall celebration. The bride was Miss Florence Lillian Kirkpatrick of Keo kuk, and the groom was Mr. Wilbur W. Williams of Chicago, but formerly of Keokuk. The ceremony was per formed by the Rev.

Overton, chairman of the wedding committee. The bridal party left the Kirkpat rick home on Orleans avenue between Eighteenth and Nineteenth at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon. Overland automobiles, furnished by the Over land-Irwin company, conveyed the party down the street.

The procession was proceeded by the Warsaw band and the 'boy scout buglers. The mov ing of .the platform to the intersec tion of Sixth and Main streets made room for the Mg crowd. The street was packed on both sides and the Sixth street intersection took care of the overflow.. Big Crowd in City. There was another big crowd in Keokuk today for the closing event of the week. This was Warsaw day, oommunlty day, and grangers day. There were representatives from all of the surrounding communities here and they enjoyed all of the program provided by the Keokuk committee.

These will be used in making up the programs for next year and the committee would like to have all of the camera fiends send in a print of any act, any of the flights or anything that would be of interest and could be used in a statistical way in preparing for a celebration next year. The pictures can be turned in to Secretary Fulton or to Chairman Renaud any time next week. Kahoka Band Makes Big Hit The Kahoka band of twenty-five pieces which has been playing here during the fall festival has certainly made good so far as the KeoKuk peo ple and their guests are concerned. The band is directed by W. H. Bow ers. Mr. Bowers has an organization of thirty-two pieces, and twelve of the members are young women. Five of the young women are in the band ap pearing here now. W. H. Bowers, the director, has had bands with the Barnum circus and Buffalo Bill's wild west shows! His home is in Elmyra, N. Y., and the com mercial club there pays him a good salary for directing the band organi zation of that city, which supports a municipal band. Mr. Bowers hap pened two years ago to finish the sea son at Lancaster, and through a friend, was given a two year's con tract at Kahoka. He has built up .splendid corps of musicians there, and THE DAILY GATE CITY* BID FESTIVAL the band is making good wherever they play. This is not the band's first appear ance in Keokuk, nor will* It be the last if popular sentiment has anything to do'with the hiring of musicians. They played tor the bg Shriners' parade last year, and made a hit then. Thef have played four days here and have made a place in the hearts of the Keokuk people and the thousands of visitors who were here. Reception by Miss Ruth Law Miss Ruth Law, the flying queen, was "at home" to' Keokuk people and the visitors this morning from 10 to 11 o'clock on the Elks club porch. A number of the Keokuk people who have been thrilled by her flights came down this morning to meet Miss Law. Miss Law makes her final flights in Keokuk this afternoon at 5 o'clock and tonight at 10 o'clock. SBe has made some wonderful excursions into the air this week and has had the crowd gasping for breath on some of her loops in the air. She received a great ovation yesterday as she drove along Main street at the head of the Industrial and fraternal parade. f. Arabs Like w. 4- Folks The six Moroccan Arabs, with Mula Ahmud as their manager, like the way the Keokuk audiences are tak ing" to their act. Mr. Ahmud sallies broadly whenever people tell him ttyey think the Arabs are fine, and he is being told that many times a day, sd you can imagine the gentleman wearing a broad smile. The Moroc cans were brought to this country a year ago in May by Ahmud. The old gentleman in the group is seventy years old. In his palmy days Ahmud said he could carry as many as fifteen men. He does considerable work now carrying around five. Ahmud said that a lot of his coun trymen were In the armies of France. Chairman Renaud talked to Ahmud in French this morning, and they had quite a sociable little "gabfest." Ah mud speaks six languages. Thanks to?^ /v Weather Man The weather man will receive a resolution of thanks from the fall festival committee. The resolution will be written on parchment in gold letters and will be framed in green backs. The reason for all this is the extra good brand of weather the weather man has been turning out this week. He surely batted 1,000 on the weather. There were five perfect days for the celbration. Not a cloud to mar one of them, the temperature plenty warm enough for the comfort of everybody. It was the best cele bration weather Keokuk has ever had.
