The Keokuk Lantern Club promises
to be a great success and the member
ship is increasing hourly. Last even
ing all of the charter members hung
out their lanterns or left their. porch
lights burning all evening doing a
great deal of good to those who had to
be out on the dark streets.
One would be surprised at the great
quantity of ligat an ordinary Oil Ian
tern hung on street corner, can make
on dark night and where there is one
on each corner the whole block is IL
Illuminated.
When the Keokuk Lantern Club was
organized yesterday, those who were
invited to become members, were not
all prepared. Many of them did not
read about the scheme in the paper
until after supper and then it was too
late to find the lantern, fill it and hang
it out. Some people did not own Ian
terms but purchased them today or
had their old ones fixed up and will
hang them out this evening.
AS a result, the membership in the
club will be greatly increased tonight
and as the good work spreads, Ian
terms will be hung out and within a
few nights. the streets of Keokuk will
be brilliantly Illuminated" through
the efforts of the Keokuk Lantern
Club.
