WELL STAYED WIrn.-We are as
sured that the keokuk lawyers in attendance
on the Supreme Court, now in session in this
city, have all expressed themselves satisfied
with the power and capacity of the lawyers Of
Davenport. They say that the entertainment
furnished them leaves nothing to be wished
foI. They have fallen into capable hands, and
if they are net well cared for, it is their own
fault

The reasons given for this course, it was said
