lor being approached by the manly
fellow offered many objections. That
he had nothing against the strong char
acter of the man was evident.
But the old ironsides had made up
his mind that none of his daughters
should ever marry into the army. He
said that he had nothing but the
kindliest feeling for the boy, but he
knew so much of the trials and dis
tresses of soldiers wife and family
that he was averse to the whole thing.
But the favorite daughter of the fort
was not as mild as she appeared to be-
Taking the matter into her own hands,
and having something of the decision
of character of her father, life some
how suddenly became miserable to the
old man. How, he could never tell.
But everything went wrong. Too bad
that the soldiers were cursed and
blamed for the state of affairs.
Everybody knew what was the mat
ter except the poor, boycotted colonel.
Finally the girl approached her father
and argued the case with him. There
was not spot on the life of the man
she loved.
THAT makes it all the harder, don't
you see. girl? If he was a rascal l
would throw him in the river and be
done with him. No! What l have said

The poor girl had to report nothing

Many are the stories of the elope-
ment. One is that he compelled an
Indian to row them down to Turkey
river on the Iowa side and that there
they were married. Another is that
they went to st. Louis and that the
colonel heard of them there, and had
them brought back.
The young man most interested in
the matter is likely to know best about
the interesting affair, and these are his
words:
"A boat about leaving the Dousman
wharf for st. Louis was chosen by us,
and when Miss Taylor was ready she
came aboard, accompanied by Mrs. Nc
Rec, and We took passage to st. Louis.

burying ground, near Baya Sara, La.
In the spring of 1s45 Mr. Davis met

to what his reception would be like.

trust law under existing rulings Of tn.

trust law under existing rulings of the
supreme court has given rise to sugges-
uon for its necessary amendment to
prevent its applications to cases which
II is believed We're never in the contem-
plation of the trainers of the statute.
Take two instances: A merchant or man
ufacturer engaged in a legitimate busi-
ness that covers certain states. wishes
to sell his business and his good will,
and so in the terms of the sale obligates
himself to the purchaser not to go into
a restraint of trade has always been en-
forced at common law. Again the en-
ployes of an interstate railway combine
ana enter upon peaceable and lawful
strike to secure better wages. At COM
mon law this was not a restraint of trade
or commerce or a violation of the rights
of the company or of the public. Neither
case ought to be made a violation of the
antitrust law. My own impression is
mat the supreme court would hold that
neither of these instances are within
Its inhibition. but If they are to be so
regarded. general legislation amending
the law is necessary.
Democratic Plank Discussed.
The suggestion of the Democratic
platform that trusts be ended by for
bidding corporations to hold more than
30 per cent. of the plant in any line of
manufacture is made without regard to
the possibility of enforcement or the
real evil in trusts. A corporation con-
trolling 45 or 80 per cent. of the products
may by well known methods frequently
effect monopoly and stamp out compe-
tition in any part of the country as com
pletely as If it controlled 60 or 10 per cent.

Eczema and Other
Skin Diseases Be
ing Cured Rapidly

In a recent visit to one of the
largest local drug stores it was
learned that the sale of the drug
citrox has increased so rapidly that it
is almost impossible for the druggists
to keep sufficient supply of it in
stock. Evidently citrox does what is
claimed for it by its discoverer.
DR.. J. E. Currier, a prominent
scientist of London, Eng. discovered
not many months ago that tea
spoonful of pure citrox dissolved in
two tablespoonful of hot water and
applied twice daily to any part of the
body affected with Eczema, letter and
other skin diseases would cure almost
any case, and the sale of citrox has
been rmarkable.
The pure drug only should be used.
just as it comes from the chemical
works, put up in small sealed pack

QUESTION AND ANSWER.
Homemade Preparation for Removing
Freckles, Tan and sunburn.

Mabel Graham asks if there is any
preparation on the market to remove
freckles, tan and sunburn that is per-
fectly safe to use and will not cause
injury to delicate skin. We reprint
here the following recipe, which has
been used daily by Detroit society
woman for more than 20 years without
harm: Rose Water, 2 ounces; Cologne
Spirits, l ounce; Eppotone, 4 ounces
Put the Eppotone in a pint of hot wat
er (not boiling) and after dissolved
strain and let cool. then add the Rose
Water and Cologne Spirits. This
makes a quantity of excellent face
wash sufficient to last eight or nine
months. 1t is inexpensive and the
necessary articles can be bought at
any drug store. The Eppotone is what
takes off the freckles, tan and sun
burn and protects the skin against
chaps and roughness. 1t takes off ev-
cry bit of shine" 1t tones up the
skin and softens, whitens and beauti-
fies the complexion. We do not like
to repeat this oft-called-for recipe, so
we would suggest that our readers cut
it out and keep 1t for future reference.

WHY SUFFER?

Just as long as you have catarri

foul, you will hawk and spit, and you
will do other disgusting things because
you can't help yourself The germs of
catarrh have got you i, their power;
they are continually and persistently

membrane of your nose and threat.
The, are now making your life miser-
able; in time they will sap your en-.
tire system of energy, its strength, it's
vigor and vitality.
II you do not kill tie loathsome
germs of catarrh, their desperate as
saults will in time undermine your rea-
son, rob your brain of it's b-l,liancy and
activity, and leave you not only ply
steal but mental wreck.
This picture is not overdrawn; the
writer has seen thousands IF just such
cases. He has personally experienced
the demoralizing results that come
from the rayishing attacks of the hor.
rible catarrh germs, the greatest pest
of civilized nations.
But there is one remed.' that will
kill the germs and cure catarrh, and
that is Hyomie, the Australian dry air

edies, but they are not guaranteed as
Wilkinson & CO., the druggist, will

also guaranteed to cure bronchitis,
asthma, coughs, colds and hay fever.

"Under Southern Skies"

"Under Southern Skies"
The appearance of Lottie Blair
Parker's delightful play, Under South
ern Skies is an event that should be
looked forward to with interest by our
theatergoers.
The company is large one, number
Il twenty-three people. The scenery
is beautiful, everything used in the
representation, being carried by the
company. The costuming is quaint and
pretty, the gowns being of airy sum-
mer stuffs, made in the fashion of 1875,
which is the period of the play. A
Halloween celebration during which a
pumpkin dance is introduced. is one
of the lively features OF the perform
ance, and never fails to delight an
audience.
Beautiful southern melodies are in.
troduced throughout the play with
great effect. The story of the play
is both strong and interesting, and is
relieved with much comedy which is
contributed by the darky servants and
by their masters and mistresses, who
are OF the southern aristocracy.
Under Southern Skies is one OF
the big successes of recent years and
no one who enjoys first class play
presented in a first class manner
should fail to see "Under Southern
Skies" at the Grand OH next Thursday
! evening.

No special rate is being made by
the railroads, but for each person
who has a card properly stamped by

This is the first excursion of this
kind attempted by the local merchants
and thus far everything points to two
successful days. 1t is expected that
hundreds of people will come to
Keokuk on Wednesday and Fri
day andd the merchants expect to
stir W trade in this manner. The rail-
roads will make arrangements to have
special coaches for the trains Oh these
