Py 1 ' Electric lights will be nistalled in

tlie Lee county home at Summitvilie this month. The contract for the in­stallation of these lights will be let

. this week, it Is planned now. Mat­ters preliminary to the securing of the right of way for the power line have been covered, and it is certain that the work can commence in short order. The lights will be installed in

- the home in conduits, and will con­form" to all requirements of wiring

The installation of lights for the county home has been agitated for some time. It will be necessary to run high power wires from the pow­der works cables', and it has Deen necessary to secure the right of way needed for this. The contract calls for lights in the four stories of the big building. Lights will not be placed in every room, but there will be sufficient lights in the hails, and in the employes' quarters and every­where that lights will be needed.

The installation of lights will make s. the Lee county home a very modern | one in every respect

Inspector's Good Words. H. K. McKee, field agent for the

state board of control, with head­quarters at- Des Moines, was in Keo­kuk yesterday' and inspected the county home at Summitvilie. When asked by a Gate City reporter yester­day afternoon if he found everything at the institution in good shape, Mr. McKee replied that he found condi­tions excellent. He spoke highly of tht? work done by Robert Hart, sup­erintendent, Mrs. Hart, matron, and by Dr. H. ,A.' Kinnaman, physician.

Mr. McKee finds that the county home is in unusually good shape, and that while the building may not be as modern as some of the buildings. It is fully as we,ll equipped and man­aged as any. When the electric lights arc installed it will be in practically

c fiefit clans shape for the use "to which It is put.

Everything Needful Done. Tbo inspector commends the meals

served at the home under the super­vision of Mrs. Hart.. Tne cleanliness of the home is: another feature for commendation and the condition of

, the larder should be given consider-able praise. There was everything that could be wished for in the canned fruit and vegetable line, and an abundance of apples and potatoes.

The care of the inmates was com-- mended by Mr. McKee. Both Mr. and

Mrs. Hart are gen no and kind with the people, and there is no complaint from anyone. Mr. McKee' said that

'*• he had been able to observe this fea-*• ture at times when neither the super-* intendent or matron were aware of i his presence.

He also paid Dr. Kinnaman a com­pliment when he said that the doc­tor was .gentle and kind and took un­usual care and pains with the in­mates who needed his attention. In the insane wards especially, he found the doctor to be a true friend to the I unfortunates, and to give them the same considerate care that he gave all of the patients.

That the board of supervisors had acted wisely in the selection of the jOfflcers of the home and the physician

"Jor the ljome, was the view taken by t ihe inspector.

"How soon can Mr. Glascoff go to see a young woman who Is actually starving to death and is so weak she cannot hold her young bahv." This was the message awaiting the secre­tary of the United Charities upon his arrival home Friday noon. During the next twenty minutes he received practically the same message from seven other sources. It would seem from these inquiries that at least there had been unearthed an actual case of starvation. Such was not the case, however. Upon Investigation it was found that the family had been through a very hard year and that they had lost practically all they pos­sessed. Then, too, there had been sickness and other trials. But today the head of the family is regularly employed at small but steady wages and the woman and her young babe are well.

This supposedly starving woman told how she came to be placed in her present predicament It seems that a certain neighbor had told her the other day that she did not see why she, the starving woman, could not have some help as long as every­one yas getting it. Friday this good (?) friend got busy and told this greatly exaggerated story broadcast.

How easy it would nave been for the various organizations hearing of this family to have sent in what they could to have relieved this reported terrible condition which did not exist. Had this been done, how long would It have taken this good woman who wanted to be a good friend and per­haps a good neighbor, to have taught this family that it was foolish to work for if they only toid a pitiful enough story, provisions and fuel would come in unstinted quantities. Then, too, think of the effect it would have on the family to have their troubles made capital of and peddled about like apples or ush.

The United Charities took the pre caution of sending in at once such provluions as under ordinary circum­stances would last them over Sunday. I'liis was done mat there might not be the least possibility of actual suf­fering. Now they want to find em­ployment at a living wage for the man that he may continue supporting his family as he has in the past, un­aided.

Rev. D. E. Butler, pastor of the Bethel A. M. E. church of this city has just written and published the words of a song which will he sung at the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church at Phila­delphia In May, to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of the found­ing of the church in America.

This song, whloh Is to be sung to the well known tune, "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" is dedicated to the memory of Richard Allen, found­er of the church and first negro bishop in America and is called "Al­len's Militant Hymn, a Centennial Song."

Rev. Butler will attend the confer­ence from Keokuk. Following are the words:

A hundred years of victory A hundred years of song;

We will shout the joyful tidings as We sing and march along;

A million sable Allenltes Have triumphed over wrong;

The church Is marching on.

CHORUS Glory, Glory, Hallelujah, Glory, Glory, Hallelujah, Glory, Glory, Hallelujah, The church Is marching on.

Throughout our land and country And the Islands of the sea;

We have told the love of Jesus which Is more than liberty;

Our Zion'B banner floats from Shore to shore and sea to sea; The church is marching on.

To the jungles of old Africa Across the burning sands;

The grand old church of Allen has Gone forth at God's command;

We'll not give up the battlefield 'Till We possess the land;

The church Is marching on.

The fathers of this grand old church Did place within our charge;

A heritage of faith and works And bade us it enlarge;

Baptized in blood and tears they gained

An honorable discharge; The church is marching on.

They rode the swamps—they climbed the hills

They circled round the plain; They counted all things lost that we

The "Goodly Pearl" might gain; They stood up when the fire was hot

And praised His holy name; The church is marching on.

Peace be unto our sainted dead . Now sleeping 'neath the Bod;

Who fought the fight and kept, the faith

Beneath tbo chastening rod; That they might in the end obtain

The promised crown of God; The church is marching on.

A hundred years of victory A hundred years of song:

Let's take the Church of Allen now And quickly move along;

Let's hold the fort 'til Jesus bids Us join the heavenly throng;

The church Is marching on.

AMUSEMENTS. "The Immigrant."

Valeska Suratt, the celebrated American actress, will be seen at the Grand tonight and tomorrow in the Jesse L. Lasky production of Marlon Fairfax's thrilling drama, "The Immigrant," a Paramount pic­ture.

In "The Immigrant" Miss Suratt Is seen in a characterization absolutely different from that which she has heretofore appeared, either upon the stage or the screen.

Miss Saratt is first seen as a poor Russian immigrant bound for Amer­ica. Later she is given ample oppor­

tunity to we.ii many of the striking gowns for which she is so justly famous.

One of the bis thrilling scenes of the play Is the blowing up of a treat dam, holding back an immense vol­ume of water and the destruction of a large house by the release'! tor­rent. -hese scenes are said to be the most realistic ever presented on a screen, i^he dam and the house were especially built for the occasion by the Lasky company at an enor­mous expense. Three hundred labor­ers worked night and day for two weeks in order to build the dam.
