WOMEN! IT'S CHEAP!
Service—Quality—Satisfaction
Three things that "will always be found at our store.
Qualtiy is the essential necessary when you expect to
buy
pi®0® furniture tfr a rug or apiece of chinaware,
jut glass or even a cooking utensil.
When yon can buy anything for the home,' and you
]oiow for a positive certainty that what you are buying is
going to be a permanent investment, that is an article that
will wear, look well and satisfy, it is worth while for you
to buy it.
Our Furniture Invites Your Criticism
We like to have it looked at. We like to give our time
to explain its good points. Never fear that you will both
er us too much. You can't bother us at all. Anyway we
wall be ahead if you look even if you don't buy. For if you
see you can't forget, and it's surely worth something to us
to have you remember.
Bring us your ideas and we will match them for you at
prices maybe lower than you imagine.
We have just demonstrated the amount of coal neces
sary to bake 2,000 biscuits in a cast iron Bucks Range.
That's one way of economizing. A Buck's Range is a qual
ity range, built on years and years of earnest effort, to
give the customer the best material, workmanship, and
wearing quality that is possible to be attained in a cook
stove.
Everything that is possible to be done, any service that
can be given will be given to anyone who enters our store
whether they make a purchase or not.
If you need a piece of furniture, a range, cook stove,
high grade, medium priced or cheap rug, set of dishes,
china or semi-porcelain, or baking ware of any descrip
tion, alunyntim, granite or steel cooking ware, if you buy it
from us' you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you
made a permanent investment and will become one more
customer of our store.
Buy where quality comes first, appearance second, and
price last.
If you have any special brand of merchandise that you
want and cannot find it, tell us about it and we will get it
for you.

AUGUSTUS GEI6ER
ANSWERS SUMMONS
Former Keokuk Tinner Passed Away
at His Home This Morning
After lllneaa of Four
Years.
WAS BORN IN THE EAST
Came to Keokuk When Nine Years
Old and Had Made His Home
Her© Since—Had Been Re
tired Four Years.
Augustus Geiger, formerly a well
known Keokuk tinner, died at hi3
home, 1402 Bank street, this morning
at 7:15 o'clock of paralysis. A par
alytic stroke suffered four years ago
caused his retirement from business

falling health. He had been confined
to his bed the last week.
Mr. Geiger was born in Sobenect
ady, New York, August 3, 1846, be
ing seventy-one years old at the time
of his death. He came to Keokuk
with his parents, lxuis and Monica
Geiger, when he was a boy about
nine years old, and this city had been
his home since. Mr. Geiger's mar
riage to Elizabeth Gruenewald oc
curred here in October, 1870. His
wife survives with two children.
Mrs. John Poulkes and Miss Letitla
Geiger, of Keokuk. There are also

Geiger was formerly a volunteer fire
man, leaving the service when the
present system went into effect. He

AMUSEMENTS.
Benevolent Union Block Day.
Perhaps no poem sticks more tena
ciously in the memory of most of us
than "Somebody's Mother."
"The woman was old and bent and
gray,
And bent with the chill of a winter's
day."
You remember the rest of it and
how the boy who helped the old lady
did It because it was "somebody's
mother." In some such spirit as that
you are asked to aid the Benevolent
Union on Block day, in its effort to
provide a home for "somebody's
mother." The opportunity to give
your aid to the Benevolent Union
home comes once a year on Block
day, and those who work in the in
terest of this worthy charity will
give every Keokuk resident ajx op
portunity to give something. If you
can make a generous gift ft will be
most welcome and will be wisely ad
ministered. If you pan make onJy a
modest gift it will be equally wel
come, but do not miss the opportun
ity to give something. The home is
open to visitors at all times and a
call upon the old ladles who form
the household would make you a
most sympathetic giver to the insti
tution.
"Doug" Fairbanks In "Down to
Earth."
As usual, capacity crowds smiled,
giggled and roared at Douglas Fair
banks in "Down to Earth" and, as
usual, the same thing will happen to
night at the Grand. If you weren't
one of the happy ones last night then
be sure and give yourself the treat
tonight.
Mae Tinee again tells the truth
In her review:
"If you have spots before the eyes,
a lame back, misery after eating and
are pursued by symptoms that have
almost run themselves into ailments,
•Down to Earth' is the treatment for
you.

"The Birth of a Nation."
Slavery in half the stateB of the
union! Abraham Lincoln, the man
risen fuom the people to deliver
them! The moral and political sepa
nation of one-half the soverign states
fj-om the remainder of the union!
The tremendous and never-to-be-for
gotten American civil war, with all
its horrors! Then the carpetbag
rule devastation of the conquered
south the free and ignorant slaves
creating a reign of terror among the
whites—the organization and the en
forcement of the Ku Khix Klan upon
the blacks—all entwined with love
of northerner for southern, and visa
versa—of Buffering, death, despair
and heartache—these are the prin
ciple features of D. W. Griffith's in
describable production, "The Birth of
a Nation." a realization so swift, so
mighty, so absorbing that it makes
three hours whirl by like a few mo
ments—and sends the bewildered
spectators stumbling out. of the
theatre, struggling for their bearings
and gasping for very breath.
"The Birth of a Nation" will never
nee a rival, for it has covered all
the drama of the nation—and cover
ed it too vividly for others to even
approach it. Every time it unfplds
upon a screen, that time the life
drama of America is re-enacted.
this success is dne
to the fact that the club never fools
the people. The stellar attractions it
brings here are anions the best the
world produces. During the past few
seasons this club has brought to Keo-,
kuk such world renowned artists as
Schumann-Heink. Fritz Kreisler. Maud
Powell, Mischa TOman, Bloomfleld
Zeisler and numerous others.
This season the attractions in the
aggregate are even better than those
of previous seasons. Christine Miller,
who opens the season here Friday,
October 19th, is one of the most talk
ed of musical stars of the fear and a
great favorite. She Is one of the
most popular contraltos in America
today and that you will be delighted
with h«r Is putting it mildly.
