other citizens convention Saturday
night, but as the candidate of the Pop
ullsts. Shaw and Switzerland are both
Democrats.
The result of the vote was: South
erland, 246; Beacon, 1877; Shaw 10y.
In the first ward w. II. Reavls,
colored, was elected commissioner, de-
feating Charles Henderson, colored

Arkansas day at Camp Schofeld, the seat
of the great interstate drill and encamp-

people gathered to see the companies drill
fully 5000 coming from Arkansas. Little
Rock was well represented. The Fletcher
Zouaves of that city drilled first and made
a fine impression. Later came the Morton
cadets of Washington, d. c., who perhaps
eclipsed anything in the way of drill work
done here since the big affair began
They stand a good chance of winning first
prize and the famous Galveston cup,
which the National Fencibles of WASH

The Mccarthy Light Guards of Little
Rock, who have a national reputation be-
cause of their many victories at inter
state drills, drilled last to-day. Barring
an error. that of emitting to give in spe-
cific orders, their drill was excellent and
the Arkansas contingent manifested its
delight frequently.
Company D., Third United States cav
airy, gave an exhibition drill during the
afternoon.
Tomorrow the Chickasaw Guards ami
the Governors Guard of this city will drill
as will also the Thurston Rifles of Omaha
The weather has been ideal and the at

from the Gate City Keokuk, Ioaco.)
Mrs. Helen Meyers whose home is az 1915
Vernon Avenue, Chicago, and whose visit to
Keokuk, Ia, will long be remembered was
at one time afflicted with a nervous maladv
which at times drove her nearly to distrac-
ton. Those terrible headaches are
thing of the past" she said the other day
to a Gate city representative and there
is quite story in connection with it too"
My nervous system sustained great shock
some fifteen years ago, brought on believe
through too much worrying over family
matters and then allowing my love for my
books to get the better ofmy discretion where
my health was concerned Why, whenever
my affairs at home did not go along Just as
| expected, | would invariably become
Frustrated from the excitement and would
consider myself fortunate indeed ifthe effects
of the attack would not remain for a week.
| was obliged to give up our pleasant home
not far from the Lake shore drive because
| could not stand the noise in that locality.
| could find no place in the city which |
deemed suitable to one whose nervous system
was always on the point Of explosion. To
add to my misfortunes my complexion
underwent a change and looked so yellow
and sallOv that | was ashamed to venture
from the house at all.
Madam" said my doctor tome soon after
an unusually severe attack Of the maladv,
"unless you leave the city ard seek some
place Of quiet, you will never recover"
SO | concluded | would visit my uncle, who
lives in Dallas County, Iowa, and whose
farm would surely be a good place for one
in my pitiable condition. | picked up the
Gate city one day and happened to come
across an interesting recital Of the recovery
of some woman in New York State who was
afflicted as / had been. This woman had
been cured by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. / thought that If Pink Pills
cured that woman they might do the same
for me. l began 70 take the pills accord
ing to directions and | began to feel better
from the start. After ] had taken several
boxes of them ! was ready TO go back tc
Chicago. Ny nervousness was gone and
my complexion was as fresh as that of any
sixteen-year-old girl in Iowa and Pink Pills
is what put the color in my cheeks. No
wonder ] am in such high spirits and feel
like prize fighter And no wonder like
to come TO Keokuk for if it had not been
for Pink Pills bought from Keokuk firm
would not have been alive now, laughingly
concluded the lady.
