manager of the Keokuk Electric Rail.
way and Power Company, who went
east the other day to buy an engine
to take the place of the one which
was wrecked by the bursting fly wheel,
states that he has gone to Norfolk to
look at big engine there, instead of
going to New York to get the engine
which was offered.
The engine at Norfolk was put in
place three years ago for the purpose
of helping out during the jamestown
exposition, which so many lights were
used in the city and at the fair
grounds. Since the fair came to a
close, the ordinary equipment is suf-
ficient and the big engine Is on the
market.
1t is a much larger and more ex-
pensive machine than the one which
was wrecked and will be amply large
enough to do the work here in Keo-
kuk. Being part of the jamestown ex-
position, it will be quite novelty II
brought to Keokuk and will be of a
historical nature.

JUSTICE IS NOT
A CANDIDATE
Central Association Circuit viii Not
Be Revised at the Meeting
at Waterloo To-
morrow.
A FUTURE MEETING HELD
This Very Important Factor in the
Business of the Meeting to
Deferred For Some
Time.
A FUTURE MEETING HELD

NJ E. Justice, president of the Cen
trail Association, stated this afternoon
that at the Waterloo meeting tomor-
row morning he would not be candi-
date for reelection to the office which
he has held for the past year and a
half. This news will come as a great
surprise to the towns of the circuit as
few are aware that Mr.. Justice has
contemplated such action. Pressing
business Will make it impossible for
MI Justice to accept a reelection
which he would without doubt get.
He has served for the best interests
in the league during his term and his
absence from Central Association base
ball will be greatly missed.
Louis Sterne, secretary-treasurer of
the keokuk Base Ball Association. and
M %. Justice, president of the Central
Association, will be the representa-.
tives from Keokuk present at the
league meeting which begins tomorrow
morning at 1000 o'clock at Waterloo.
The former will represent the interests
OF the keokuk Base Ball Association
and will be the only director of the
local club present while Mr.. Justice
Will preside at the meeting in his of
ticial capacity as president
Although there is unusual enthusi-
asm about the circuit concerning the
meeting and baseball followers will
watch the progress with great interest,
nevertheless, the all-important factor
that of revising the circuit-will
probably not be done but will be left
to future meeting. The matter of a
change in the circuit is one that hasty
action should not be taken on and de-
l1berate discussion should proceed any
action. 1t is the intention of those
present at the meeting to simply dis
cuss any proposed changes in the cir.
cult and then postpone any action.
According to the leading papers of
the circuit every team in the league is
more than anxious to remain in the
league and strong protests will be
made by everyone directly interested
should a club be dropped. Oskaloosa
may be dropped from the league be.
cause of lack of attendance but 1t is
definitely known that the directors
will make a strong protest. The at
| tendance at Oskaloosa during the past
season, however, fully warrants the
town in being dropped by the league.
! The Burlington scare which created
quite a little interest for some time
has gradually subdued and although
Egan is still after Davenport it is al
most positive that Burlington will re
main member of the Central Associa-
| ton.
Word has been received by Presi-
dent Justice that the Galesburg Base
Ball association will be represented at
the meeting tomorrow and will apply
/ for franchise in the Central Associa-
/ ton. Galesburg had an attendance of
$4,000 in the Illinois-Missouri league
4 last season with a tail end club and
would be a valuable team tor the Cen
/ trail Association to have.

Captain Walter Blair Has Bought the
Packet Which Runs Between
keokuk and Bur-
Iington.
A FLEET OF FIVE BOATS
Steamer Becomes Part of the Fleet
Of Boats Owned by the
Carnival Packet Com
pany.

The steamer Eloise, running be-
tween Burlington and Keokuk has
changed ownership, but will not be
taken out of the trade next season.
II is now owned by the Carnival Pack
ct cmopany and is one of the boats
in the line of packets from Quincy to
Davenport. The Burlington Gazette
says of the sale:
The steamer Eloise, owned by the
Northwestern Packet company, was
today sold to the Carnival Packet COM
rany, the beat to be delivered to the
new owner on November 1. In the
sale Captain Blair represented the lat
ter company and j. A. Macarthur the
former.
BY this transaction the Eloise be-
comes part of the Carnival Packet
company's fleet of steamers, consist
ing of the Columbia, Helen Blair Keo-
kuk and Silver Crescent. This COM
pany has been operating packet steam
ers between Davenport and Burlington
and keokuk and Quincy. The Eloise
has had undisputed possession of the
trade between Burlington and Keokuk
BY securing this steamer, the Carni-
val Packet company will have the
short packet trade from Davenport to
Quincy, a distance of IT'S miles.
Warehouse Sold Too.
j. A. Macarthur, representing the
Northwestern Packet company, in the
bill of sale, will transfer to the Car
nival Packet company, not only the
steamer Eloise, but the warehouses
at Nauvoo and Montrose and all the
equipment The Eloise was brought
to Burlington six years ago and has
made daily trips between this city and
Keokuk ever since, starting in earli-
err in the season than other packets
and remaining in the trade after all
others retired.
Blair Live Wire.
The Carnival Packet company has
grown in Importance ever since it was
organized by Captain Walter Blair
some wears ago. Its success has been
due to the fact that practical steam
boat men have handled the affairs of
the company and every season so far
has proven profitable one. The com.
pany has operated for the interests of
the cities along the line and the steam
boats have been popular with the pub
lie for this reason. The shipping in
terests have also been friendly to the
company and the boats handle an i'm
mense amount of freight during sea-
SON.
This company has been the only
one of Importance on the upper river
which has been in competition with
the Diamond 10 line, yet both COM
panies have been friendly and will re-
main so. The growth of one line helps
the other to re-establish the supreme
cy of the river traffic.

Young Man Passed Away Sunday AZ
ternoon at Three O'clock at
the Family Resi-
dence.
NOT YET TWENTY ONE
Death Resulted From Typhoid Pneu.
monia and Came After
Two Weeks III
ness.

Sunday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock at
the family residence, 1927 Exchange
street occurred the death of Ferdinand
Walch, son of Emil Walch of tais city
and a young citizen who had yet to
reach his twenty-first birthday. Death
came after two weeks illness and re-
suited from a severe attack of typhoid
pneumonia. His death is a great loss
to the family and one that Is keenly
felt by all.
Ferdinand was quite we'll known in
the city and had many friends among
the citizens. He aas lived here during
his entire life and was we'll thought of
by ALL For short time previous to
his. late sickness he was employed at
the American Rice and Packing Co.
and gave entire satisfaction in his
work.
Born in keokuk.
The deceased was born in this city
had he lived until the 10Th of Novem-
Der would have been twenty-one years
of age. His entire life has been spent
here and he would have continued his
residence in the city had not death
come as 1t did.
The relatives surviving have the
sympathy of the entire city in this late
bereavement. They are a.. follows:
Parents, Mr. and Mrs Ed. Walch; four
brothers, Max, Herman, Edward and
Frank and three sisters, Mrs. Carl
Wagner of Davenport, Helen and Su
same.

Dark for a Month.

If this engine is purchased this
week, it would possibly be here and
in operation within about a months
time and Keokuk must wait that long
for street lights.
There has been rumor that the
Hubinger Brothers were to make a
deal with the electric company to
furnish them power for running the
arc lights, but there is nothing in
this rumor.
The cereal works have enough pow
or to run the arc lights of keokuk,
hut the system down there is differ
ent from the one In use here and It
would require an outlay Of possibly
$1,000 to hitch that plant to the
lighting system.

This statement from Mr. Powelson,
who recently identified himself with
Mr.. Cooper, and whose efficient man
agement of the past few years of the
Union Electric Light & Power Co.
so effectively brought that property to
high standard, is only additional evil
dence that the local enterprise is still
receiving attention and additional evil
dence that the men are meeting with
success. Keokuk feels more sanguine
than ever that Messrs. Cooper & Pow
elson will ultimately win in their pur-
pose to develop the water power and
in their efforts they are deserving OF
the heartiest cooperation from keo-
kuk people. They have had it. They
will continue to receive it.
Mr.. Allen, of the New York office,
has been in the city for several days,
and was present at the meeting today
of the local officers and the water
power people.
