Esan Will be Here.

Burlington Gazette: Manager E. f.
Egans of the Burlington base ball
club. will be in the city next week
He is coming down from his home
in st. Paul to attend the league meet
ing at Keokuk and incidentally to
have talk with the local committee
concerning his plans for next year.
He had advised the committee not to
go out and raise any money on his
account, as there was strong prob
ability that he would not be back
here next year. He is perfecting his
plans for the future and hopes to have
them in such condition as to en-
tighten the committee of his inten-
ton
Mr. Egan has suggested the name
of Lew Drill as manager of the Bur
lington base ball team next year. Drill
is a graduate of Hamline and George
town colleges and caught for two sea-
sons for the Washington and Detroit
teams. He next managed the Pueblo
team in the Western league and last
year managed Terre Haute in the Cen
trail league
Mr. Egan stated that Mr.. Drill
might buy him out or rent the fix
tureG from him, but he would expect
a bonus. The Drill proposition is not
a bad one and if it should come to
pass that Drill would succeed Lgan
here, the town would BE- assured of
good base ball next season He is
young man and has an exceptionally
good reputation as player and
good business man. His wide &C
quaintance would enable him to Sc
cure plenty of acceptable talent.

Bad Breath and
Sour Stomach
Stopped at Once With Pure Willow
Charcoal, the Greatest Gas
Abcorher knokn

There is no necessity to suffer the
humiliation, lagrin and discomfort of
bad breath, biliousness, sour stomach,
gastritis, sluggish ''ver, etc, when a
little lozenger of charcoal will cleanse
the stomach and make it pure and
sweet
Do not drug yourself when a simple
little natural charcoal made from fra
grant willow branches, sweetened with
honey, will add tone to your stomach,
liver and intestines, rapidly absorb
gases and stop foul odors of all kinds.
Charcoal will absorb one hundred
times it's own volume in gas. A box
full of charcoal placed in bed room
will keep the air of such a room pure
and sweet.
A little chacoal lozenge dissolved on
the tongue after meals will also keep
the stomach fresh and clean. Charcoal
is Justly called the scrubbing brush
for the stomach. The old monks of
medieval times cured bad cases of
stomach trouble, cast out devils from
the system of man by feeding such
man charcoal.
Scientific men of today believe i,
the great strength of charcoal for the
cure of human ills. Too much cf IT
cannot harm one. The system Graves
it Just like an animal needs and
Graves salt every so often. Charcoal
goes into the stomach gently and is
welcome it settles down through the
action of the stomach, and filters
through all the food, absorbing sas
aiding digestion and giving tone to the
Juices, so that when the food goes info
the intestines, and there meets other
digestive fluids, the charcoal holds the
impurities and thus keeps them from
the blood.
stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are
made from pure willow They are
prepared fragrant by the use of honey
and sweetened so they please the
taste and are easily dissolved.
They have an enormous sale. thus
stamping them with the approva, Of
the public. Every druggist sells them
IS cents per box. Go to your druggist
today and buy box; then after yopr
next meal take two or three Of them
and judge for yourself of their merit
Several taken at bed time will proye
to you in the morning that they have
been at work all night, for your bad
breath will not be sa bad after all

FRONT YARD
OF The CITY
River Front Should be improved and
Made Presentable Next Sea-
son Instead Of Neglected
as it Has Been.
IT ONCE WAS CLEAN
In the Good Old Steamboat DAYS More
Attention Was Paid to the
Levee Than at Pres
ent Time.
IT ONCE WAS CLEAN

Plans should be laid now for gen
eral cleanup and improvement Of the
river front at Keokuk and all plans
laid for beginning the work early next
spring and having presentable an.
pearing levee in Keokuk for next
summer.
Some time ago the Keokuk Motor
Boat club started the movement for
parking the river front and beauti-
Tying 1t by the laying of walks, the
planting of trees and fixing it up gen
orally With the help of the govern
ment, this could be done and the club
would no doubt build handsome boat
house in case the levee was fixed up.
Now that the boat houses have been
removed, the council could order the
shanty boat houses removed in the
spring and the levee cleared from the
lower end of the bridge south. A
little work in sodding the ground and
the planting of few trees would
work wonders in the appearance of
the river front.
The only draw back to the scheme
Is the fact that the river has the bad
habit of climbing up out of its banks
every spring and it would require the
building of a retaining wall in order
to make the improvements permanent.

It VIII Not be Known Until the
Time For Voting Which
City keokuk Will
Vote For.
MANY REPRESENTATIVES,
A Large Representation viii Come
to This City on Next
Tuesday to Attend the
Meeting.
A vote for Hannibal.
A vote for Galesburg.
Ora vote for Clinton.

"A vote FOR GaleSburg.
Ora vote for Clinton.
The directors of the keokuk Base
Ball association do not yet know how
the vote will be cast for the present
applicants for berth in the Central
association, at the meeting of the
league. The vote, according to the
statement of one of the directors this
morning, will be for the best interest
of the league, and the club seeking ad-
mission will have to show Keokuk
base ball men that it can deliver the
goods before a vote will be cast in
favor of it's admission.
At present all three cities-Clinton.
Hannibal and Galesburg-look good to
keokuk directors. But it will proba-
bly, be decided at the Tuesday meet
ing for which club the vote will be
cast. The directors feel that a decis-
ion should not be reached until the
various propositions are made by the
clubs seeking admission, and then af-
ter weighing the arguments carefully
vote will be dropped in the ballot
po& winch Will be to the best inter
ests of the league.
The coming meeting is attracting
considerable attention and will be the
most important one held by the league
for some me.
The Keokuk directors will entertain
the visitors, but in what manner is not
yet known. There has been talk of
giving the delegates and others an
automobile ride about the city, and
it is thought that this plan will be
carried out
The meeting will be called to or
der Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock by
President NJ. E. Justice and delegates
will be present from Quincy, Burling.

A Retaining Wall.

1t has been suggested that re.
tanning wall be built and that the
DE 1gings from the river channell, be
thrown over the wall to fill up and
make the ground level. This scheme
would require considerable expense
and probably cannot be accomplished
at the present time, but the river
front can be fixed up until it is pre-.
sentable, by cleaning it up and keep
ing fishermen's shanties and other
ugly buildings off of it.
Some of the river cities. in fac,
most of them. take more pride in the
river front than does Keokuk, which
seems to consider the river as the
back yard of the city instead of the
front yard
With the increased agitation for riv
er Improvement and the prospects Of
the work on the water power dam
next year, Keokuk should turn hen
eye toward the river more than usua
and more attention be given to that
border of the city.
Years ago, when keokuk was {
great steamboat town, the wharf was
kept in fine shape, but the arrival Of
railroads and the decline of the steam
boat traffic caused the wharf to be
neglected. revival of steamboat
business being promised, more at
tention is being given to the Wharfage
of the river towns.

The Typhoid Fever Situation.

The CALEDoNIAN has refrained from
saying much about the typhoid fever
epidemic in this village the past summer,
yet so many erroneous and exaggerated
reports have been circulated outside this
community that it is time the real facts
were known.
There have been 40 cases here this sum
mer and of these three have been fatal.
About half the cases were traced to the
contaminated spring off Caledonia street
where the children drank the water on
their picnic the last day of school There
were no fatal cases from this source.
Two fatal cases were attributed to the
milk and that this was the cause has
now been ascertained The health
officer sent to the state laboratory at
Burlington samples of both the milk and
the water from the spring which sup
piled the house and barns. The water in
this spring was found to contain the
colon bacilli, presumably having leached
into the spring from an adjacent corn
field which was heavily fertilzed this
spring. This spring has now been CON
demned to avoid any further return of
the disease and the milkman gets his
water from a spring far removed from
the contaminated one.
There have also been individual cases,
some of them in isolated parts of the
town and one at Bible Hill fatal, which
cannot be traced to any source.
The health officer informs the CALEDo-
MAN that the epidemic is lessenng and
he is in constant communication with
all the st. Johnsbury physicians and
the State Board of Health to keep
posted on any developments.
