A new engine
FOR The PLANT
A. o. Ayers of the keokuk Electric
Gas and Coke Co. Left This
Morning For New York
State.
A LARGER ENGINE USED
Will be Fifty Percent Larger Than the
Old Engine and Will Not Re-
quire the Use of
Belts.

Mr.. A. ID. Ayers of the Keokuk Elec-
trio and Gas Co. stated this morning
as he was boarding the south bound
train for New York, that If the engine
which he was going there to look over
was alright and suited the company
that things would be doing with tic
arc lights in short time now.
The engine in question is to 90
purchased from the Arthur S. Par
rige Engine Co. Of ST. Louis and has
been used but a short time in
town in New York state.
The work of taking the engine
down and loading it in the sew
eral freight cars which it would re
quire to convey it to Keokuk would
consume several days time and after
being brought here and set up would
make the time for turning on the arc
lights about six weeks distant as a
member of the company stated this
afternoon.

A Larger Engine.

The engine is of five hundred k.
W. and is of $50 h. D. making it so per
cent larger than the engine which was
required to run the arcs before the re-
cent accident at the plant.

and tandem compound, being of
direct connection with the generator
and no betting being used as on the
present engine at the plant. The
shaft of the engine is connected with

machine.
The engine will not be of the high
speed order but will make ninety rev.
oluticas per minute. having As inch

He is One of the Most Popular

Was Well Re-
ceived.

The white squadron campaign in
Protective association directed from
Davenport reached Keokuk yesterday
with the arrival of W. A. Kirchoff, ma
tlonal representative, accompanied by
Mr.. Hume of Burlington
Messrs. Kirchoff and Hume were re-
ceived by several members of Post II

ferred with a number of the prominent
T. P. A. men of this city and 1t is ex-
pected that the desired results are to
follow-that the membership is in
creased and the work of this organiza-
ton be extended in the city of Keo-
kuk.
Mr.. Kirchoff is one of the most pop
ular men in the order, and doubtless
will be well received in other cities as
he was in Keokuk. The work which
he is doing does not come under the
head of his official duties, but he is
one of those individuals who will re-
spond in any department of the work
providing it is for the welfare of the
organization.
A similar campaign which was for
merly conducted resulted in a large
addition to the membership and arous-
ed an interest in the organization that
has greatly enhanced the strength and
its helpfulness to those identified
with it.
Today Mr.. Kirchoff is conducting
