KEOKUK LAUDED
BY MISSIONARY
.Rev. D. E. Butler Says This City Is a
Good Place for Colored
People to Live and
Prosper.
THE RIGHT SPIRIT HERE
Local Citizens Are Ready to Extend
Helping Hand to Colored Peo
ple—Some Keokuk
Statistics.
"Wherever colored people can find
work to do—there is a good place to
locate, buy homes, and become as per
manent as it is possible for pilgrims to
become," declared Rev. D. E. Butler,
in a statement issued to his league of
missionary workers.
"Keokuk, the heart of the great mid
die west, is such a place," he said.
"For more than two years I have
kept close watch on conditions here,
as well as the relations between the
two dominant races, and, the cordial
ity, health and helpfulness of the
same, can hardly be surpassed any
where in the country. The white peo
ple as a whole have gone out of the
way, so to speak, to help deserving
colored people, and even given to so
called bad ones an opportunity to
make good. The public press, the
most potent factor in the community,
outside the church, quick to recognize
endurance and service, has repeatedly
given the negro unsparing eulogies.
"I find that many have taken ad
vantage of their opportunity, and are
contributing toward the upbuild, not
alone of the city, but the race.
"There are 201 colored people who
either own or are buying their homes
in Lee county, Vttiose approximate
value is more than a half million dol
lars business men and women and
artlzans, 40 persons engaged in occu
pations, requiring intelligence, business
integrity and skill, 65 professional
men and women, 22. There are four
church edifices, one vocational insti
tute, one memorial library, and one
fraternal building. This to my mind,
speaks well of a colored population of
about thirty-eight hundred, and I have
decided to continue my residence
here."
Mr. Butler has already organized
quite a number of missionary leagues
throughout the conference bounds, in
cluding Keokuk, Fort Madison, Bur
lington, Albia and Buxton, also one in
Chicago, his sub-headquarters.
The league purposes, as far as is
possible
to find home for aged
colored people aid the friendless chil
dren
co-operate
with the courts and
state institutions in helping delinquents
to make good to distribute good lit
erature and to furnish competent col
ored help. Aside from this Rev. But
ler expects to report to the annual con
ference, which will meet in St. Paul
$1,009 for aged beneficiaries and wid
ows.
Periodical evangelical meetings will
be held, also quqarterly conventions,
when reports will be made of the work
done. The local work will be non-de
nominational, and aimed to help the
needy, regardless of race or religion.

WAS BURNED
FIGHTING FIRE
Woman Thought She Could Quench
Blaze Alone, But Fel1 Exhausted
to Floor.
FARMINGTON, Iowa. Oct. 26.—
About 11:45 Monday evening the fire
department was summoned to the resi
dence of Mrs. Nancy S. Cooley, and
found the fire under such headway that
it was impossible to save the house or
household goods. The lire seems to
have originated' in the summer-kitchen
but it is not known how. When Mrs.
Cooley awakened and discovered it she
thought she could pat it out herself
and didn't call the fire department,
and fought it until she was exhausted
and fell to the floor unconscious.
Herder Boyer and John Wilson broke
Inr
her front "door and carried her to
her neighbor, Mrs. Herder Boyer,
where Dr. L,. A. Coffin was summoned
and dressed the burns on her hands
and face, which were severe. Her
face was so swollen she could not see
for awhile, but this morning' is rest
ing easidr and doing as well as could
be expected. Mrs. Minor McCrary, her
sister-in-law, sat up with her last night
and moved her to her home this' morn
ing, where everything that can will be
done for her. Mrs. Herder Boyer dis
covered the fire and called the fire de
partment. The house is a total loss,
partly covered by insurance.
A truly-for-sure fireproof building in
New York, equipped with all modern
appliances, went up in smoke and
flame the otheF day, and six lives were
lost on a floor sixteen feet from the
ground. The contents did the busi
ness.

GRATEFUL
PRAISE
FOR
FATHER
JOHN'S
MEDICINE
Writing from Rock Island, Illinois,
a grateful mother sayB: "I miss
Father John's Medicine when I am
out of It more than anything else
from my medicine chest. I have it
on hand summer and winter. I give
it to my two children whose pictures
are shown. I hope thaf other moth-j
ers may learn to know its value as
I have. (Signed) Mrs. O. H. Blehl,
1004 Eleventh Ave. I
Thousands of mothers know from
experience the value of Father John's
Medicine as a tissue and strength
builder at thiB time of year. It is
all pure and wholesome nourishment
which the system easily takes up and
changes into fighting strength- to
ward off disease. Because it does
not contain alcohol or dangerous
drugs Father John's Medicine is safe
for children as well as older people.

of hard times. Dr. Irigoyen, new
radical president of Argentine, is

ter of its new executive.
Before his election Irigoyen made
