ing all senatorial records. His Iowa
friends are by no means SO certain
that they want him for the sake Of
rounding out career to take the sec
ond place on the ticket.

Keokuk a great rice market, as there
are Thousands OF acres in this district

that district are highly elated over the

tivated before is busy preparing the
ground for corn and are expecting the
usual good yield OF 100 bushels to the
