Notice to Republicans.

The finance committee of the Repub-
lican central committee for Keokuk
has been canvassing for money neces-
sary to pay expenses necessary for
registration and on election day but it
has been impossible for them to see
everyone. There are doubtless many
who would be glad to contribute some
thing to assist in the election of a Re-
publican president and the rest of the
candidate on the national, state, coun-
ty and township Republican ticket.
You can hand your subscriptions or
send same to anyone of the undersign-
ed. Subscriptions from 25 cents up
will be very acceptable. 1t is the de-
sire of the committee that everyone
shall assist little. not that a few
shall furnish all the funds

Emanual Graham, colored, is lying

Ger Palmer attempted to make the
men behave, when they turned on him
flercely and grabbing his club, COM

Ihelr intentions were evidently MUIR
derous and in self-defense the police
man used his gun. The shooting oc-
Cured in front of Fate Martins pool
room on Jefferson street, about 1915
o'clock.
Palmer had been called into the
pool room to subdue the Graham
brothers, who were loud and bolster
Gus. The officer told the men to get
out and behave themselves He fol-
lowed them to the door and when they
reached the sidewalk, both turned on
the policeman without warning. He
had no time to repel the assault. One
OF the blacks bored him with his fists
while the other grabbed his club and
and hit Palmer over the head and
face.
1t was either the Graham boys or
the officer for the inquest, so the
quick-witted and dauntless policeman
pulled his gun and fired several shots
in rapid succession at his assailants.
Emanuel Graham dropped to the side
walk and the other brother ran away,
heading into the alley leading off JEFF
ferson street, going south.
The wounded Graham brother was
taken to st. Francis hospital. His
wound is not regarded as serious, but
he still carries the bullet. Unless COM
plications set in, there are excellent
chances for his recovery
The Grahams are said to be rather
hard customers and live with their
mother on South Main street. Their
assault on the officer was entirely
without cause.
Palmer, who is one OF the best of.
ficers on the force, suffered mum.

swollen eye. He was perfectly justi
fed in his shooting. He has proven
his worth and bravery on a number
of occasions.
