POLITICS INTO POLITICAL CLUB Contributor Claims Organization May be Injured If Politics is Injected. To the Editor of The Gate City: Politics has crept into the Colored Young Men's Christian club which was organized Thanksgiving day at the suggestion of Messrs. Brown and Pow ers of the white Y. M. C. A. The club elected a board of directors to cond'ict its affairs. Tliore was soma opposition T- the election of Rev. William Alex D. Venerable, but the nature of the opposition did not come to light until the day following cer tain parties gave it out that because of political differences during the re cent campaign, they would not sub mit to the election of Rev. Mr. Ven erable as a member of the board of directors. Thus the war began. The more liberal men of the club did not sympa thize with the political move against Mr Venerable so the gentlemen in-!between stituting the fight were forced to: change their tactics. They now pro pose to have the committee on consti tution report against resident pastors serving in official capacity. Such ac tion may mean the death of this much needed club among the colored young "of"Keokuk."° The white' people very much regret this political move in a Christian club.

A most enthusiastic meeting o[ the toard if of directors of the Keokuk Lantern Club was held last evening, it which a number of important mat ters were discussed.

After they have burned steady •or one hour, the Keokuk Lantern Club will be no more—unless at some (uture time there Bhall be need of such in organization. The Banquet. The proposition of a banquet to be given for the club members was dis cussed and a committee of the mem bers was appointed to look into the matter and if possible, arrange for a banquet. The following banquet com mittee was appointed: J. V. D. Maas, M. J. Burke, Rice H. Bell, L. A. Hamill, C. H. Henneman, Seorge S. Tucker and Carl Weigner. This committee has full power to jiake all arrangements for the banquet the committee decides that one can be given, arranging the menu, pro pom, location and method of selling ickets. It has been suggested that the ar rangements be made for a banquet at 25 cents per plate, to be held in some large hall, decorated with lanterns and that there be an interesting program given after the supper, which could be prepared and served by the ladies nf the club. In order to ascertain how new. many to provide for, blank tickets could be printed in the official organ, The Gate City, which are to be re turned to the compiittee, the club member stating how many tickets to will be presented at the meeting of the city council next Monday evening and a strong effort will be made to have it passed: Whereas: The deplorable accident at the electric light plant on October 19. deprived the city of its lights, causing great inconvenience to the citizens, but incidentally saving the city a cool thousand dollars or more by eliminating the light bill for two months, and Whereas: The Keokuk Lantern Club, came to the rescue and illum inated the streets until Keokuk was divide this fund Members. parlies haying bills again.t the All Poultrj 'o Chas. c.

This is the Case With Many Keokuk People. Too many Keokuk citizens are handicapped with a bad back. The unceasing pain causes constant misery, making work a burden and stooping or lifting an impossibility. The back nches at night, preventing refreshing rest and in the morning is stiff and lame. Plasters and liniment may give relief, but cannot reach the cause. To •eliminate the pains and aches you must cure the kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kid neys and cure them permanently. Can you doubt Keokuk evidence? Louis G. Kraft, 419 Timea street, Keokuk, Iowa, says: "I can confirm the statement my wife gave two years ago recommending Donn's Kidney Pills in my behalf I had considerable trouble from my kidneys, the secre tions passing too frequently. I also suffered from severe backaches and pains across my loins, and was un able to gfet relief until I procured Doan's Kidney Pills from Wilkinson Co.'s drug store. After using two boxes, the kidney weakness was cor rected and my kidneys gave me no further trouble. I have had no need of a kidney remedy since and can therefore recommend Doan's Kidney Pills to anyone afflicted with kidney complaint." For sale by all dealers Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co..

KIEDAISCH gehst Has Agreed to Preach at the Church Again This Evening. 'W hat shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ?" With last night's service, the cam paign at the United Presbyterian church under the leadership of Dr. Orr came to a close. In these two week's services Dr. Orr has delivered some of the most powerful, soul-reaching, hear touching sermons ever heard in Keo kuk. He has Instilled into the hearts of the people of Keokuk a renewed de sire for a better life and many wero the expressions of regret that his stay in the city was so brief. Dr. Orr begins a series of meetings Sunday at Tar kio, Mo. The sermon last night was a fitting climax to the series. Dr. Orr took his text from Matthew 27th chapter, 22nd verse: "What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ?" This was the language of Pi late. Jesus is now on trial for His life, yet the people demand that Barabbas be released instead of Christ. Every man and woman in this building has Jesus on his hands. It is a personal question, an Individual question that every one has to answer for himself. Of all question in this world, this is the most important, the most serious that is ever asked of mortal man, "What shall 1 do then with .lesus?" Jesus has put into your hands His honor Jesus has put into your hands His work. Jesus depends upon us to carry on His work and His honor is largely in our hands. What are we go ing to do? Angels cannot do His work here, the devils will not do it, the un saved cannot do it—He has sent us forth as ambassadors in His cause. Two Things to do. There are two things a church mem ber can do first, you can prove a traitor to the Son of God. Let me tell you God despises a traitor. Tin world itself despises a traitor, yet how many of you are traitors to Jesus Christ. He has put His honor into your har.ds and you have betrayed Him. Be loyal to the Son of God and to the cause of Jesus Christ in your town r.nd In your community. There is work, ha-d work, difficult work ahead you in this town. You people ought to line up to a man and line up to a woman and stand up for the cause of Jesus Christ and do your best to put down evil in your town and have a clean, righteoui and good town. The man or woman who cooly, calmly and deliberately gets on the other side and talks against the church Is a traitor to the cause of Jesus Christ. The devil himself des pises and lias no use in the wide world for a traitor. "Anything 1 do admire. Dtee** medicine ca Cnrei Backacht Corrects Irrcgularitiea Do not risk having Bright's Disease, or Diabctcy not ft SON6. The Daily Qate City is a man who is loyal—loyal to Jesus," said Dr. Orr. "We have a better lead er than ever Napoleon was, a better cause than ever France had, and why cannot we face it and die rather than run. Le loyal to the Son of God—tell the world "a Christian has never learn ed to retreat." There are people in this town who would die for Jesus Christ. All they need is some man to lead them out. Line up you church people and take the temptations out of your town. "God pity the man io is afraid to line up," said the speaker The church is not here to say to the devil, "If you leave me alone I will let you alone." Again, you can grieve the heart of the Son of, God by your dissensions, your sin, by the divisions in your con gregations, by dividing your forces. The general may be as brave as a lion, as strong as Samson, but he cannot work unless his people work with him. Will you grieve the heart of your Savior? Say rather "God helping me, I will be true to Him I will not trail his banner in the dust, no matter what others may do. Here Dr. Orr told a touching story of a mother who had her face terribly disfigured in an at tempt to save her child from getting burned and in later yearp that same child forgetting the vast sacrifice the mother had made, refused to recog nize her when out with one of her friends. Whose visage was marred more than any other man's? Christ died for you, poured out His life blood for you and His blood is the only thing between you and hell. He has held out a pierced hand to'you for years and you have rejected Hiir. Again you can neglect the Son of God. Here is some one tapping at the door of your heart and when you ask, who is there, the reply is "1 am the one who substituted for you in Gethscm ane I am the one who wov- the crown of thorns for you in Pilate's judgment hall I am the one who bled ancl died for you on Calvary—open the door," and you say "not tonight." "If Je sus Christ had no better friend than you He would have to sleep in these streets tonight." said Dr. Orr. How Jesus has waited on you, pled vitli you, besought you, and you have put Him aside—thought it a joke. Again every man and woman can ac cept Him. You can throw open the door of your heart and say, "I will do the best of my ability accept Jesus." Reject, Neglect, Accept. You can reject, neglect or accept Jesus—one of these three things you will do before you leave this door to inght. You have treated Jesus Christ worse than you have any man on earth. In conclusion Dr. Orr said: "I have done my very best for you I have1 put my life blood into this work I have lain awake nights praying for you and I can face you in the day of judg men and say "Lord, I did my best in Keokuk I did what I could for those people. "Whosoever shall confess Me before men, him will I confess also be fore My Father which is in Heaven, but whosoever shall deny Me before men, him will I also deny before My Father which is in Heaven." Treat Jesus Christ tonight just the way you want Him to treat you in the day of judgment. Upon urgent request Dr. Orr has kindly consented to remain in the city one day longer and will give his final sermon tonight, at which time he will speak on the most unpopular thing in the world, but refuses to name his subject. Do not let slip thio last oppor tunity of hearing him. MURDER AND FORGERY CHARGE Sensation in Benton, III., Over the Indictment of Prominent Physician. BENTON. 111.. Dec. 3.—Dr. B. E. Brayfleld, of Mulkeytown. 111., was In dicted here Wednesday on a charge of murder and forgery, growing out of the deaths of his wife anil Reuben F. Par rish in that town and subsequent ef forts of Dr. Brayfleld and Mrs. Parrish to collect life insurance from the fra ternal orders of which the deceased persons were members. Brayfleld has long been one of the most, prominent practloners of south ern Illinois and the case has caused a tremendous sensation in this and neighboring communities. Poisoning Alleged. Brayfleld is charged with poisoning Parrish, who was agent of the Illinois Central railway at. Mulkeytown. Par rish's death occurred March 11, and Brayfleld, who attended him, issued a death certificate assigning natural causes for the death. The Alleged Forgery. The indictment, for forgery alleges the physician, without warrant, signed the name of Ishman Harrison, justice of the peace, to an affldnvit on the death certificate. On the day that Parrish died Mrs. Brayfleld became ill. She was attended by her husband un til March 15, when she died. Another "natural death" certificate was !ssued by the doctor, and no Inquest was held In either case. Shortly afterwards Dr. Brayfleld ap plied for the payment of an insurance policy of $2,000, which his wife car ried in the Royal Neighbors of Amer ica. Then Mrs. Parrish asltpd for the $1,000 which her late husband had in the Modern Woodmen of America. —If you have a house to rent send In a want ad to The Gate City. it JL *r 1 i" V- -i TtJJIff'Viii LOCAL DRW FOR KAMA "Mrs. Wiggs of the Potato Patch" to •s: Be Presented at the Opera 4 House Friday Decem­ ber 11. ft BY THE HIGH SCHOOL Will be Directed by Luella Newel Wor- f»3 then a Successful Interpreter of Modern Drama— Other News.
