More Deals Comma.

This is not the only big deal which
will go through this fall and winter
for there are number of other large
tracts of acreage inside of the city
limits or just outside which are I'M
der negotiation and the real estate
market in the city is expected to be
quite brisk from now on.
The favorable water power news
and the result of the election has
tended to make prices stiffen in the
city and many pieces of property
which were on the market, have been
withdrawn for the present. Some peo-
pie believe that by holding their prop
erty for few weeks, that better
price can be secured.
The stockholders of the medical col
lego took this view and the building
at Seventh street is not on the mar
ket, as was announced several days
ago. Keokuk real estate agents re-
port many inquiries from out of town
investors who are looking toward this
CITY as a good place to put money
into real estate and the opinion pre-
walls that next spring will see quite a
furry in property here.

.,,rd Of officers Of His Church Pass
4 Resolution in Which They
Decide to Hold Him as
a Pastor.
WHITE DOVE OF PEACE
since the Election the Anger Has Died
Down and the Negro DEM
ocrat Has Been For
given.

The white dove of peace hovers
sgain over the Seventh Street Baptist
church. since election and Rev. Will,
liam Alex d. Venerable, Phi. d., who
posed as the great lover of William
| / Bryan and the entire democratic
party remains as the pastor of the
church. according to revolution
which is reported to have been adopt
led by the deacons and trustees of the
church last evening.
The pastor brought prominence to
himself by bringing democratic
speaker here to deliver speech for
Bryan during church gathering and
soon afterwards broke forth in print
with couple of articles in a demo
cratic organ, urging the colored peo-
pie to throw off the chains of the
Republican party" and rally around
that peerless leader and the true and
lasting friend Of the colored men, the
Democratic party.
Herbert Wright, the U. S. consul to
Honduras virtually skinned Venerable
alive at the meeting in the court
house and the colored voters of the
city have not had very high opinion
|of Rev. Venerable since, but now that
the election is over, the anger has
subsidized and the Democratic negro
minister has been forgiven.
There was evidently some talk
about deposing him from the church
for the following resolution, which is
said to have been adopted, hints that
there was talk of that kind:
TIL Resolution.
KEOKUK, Ia, Nov. 9, 1908.

POLITICAL CONFIDENCE

Evidently there is coming in our midst again this very essential thing integrity in politics. This was eH- pressed by some of our citizens in re- gard the fair count that would be given in the recent primary.
 This is as it should be, and such talk is the initiative step in that di- rection, step needed to be taken and maintained until political confidence is established once more, as in the days of our fathers.
 A mans vote is sacred. It is his strong arm of offence and defense, both to push forward good govern ment, maintain it after it is enthroned and defend 1t when it is assailed.
 The primary here was free from any Suspicion of unfairness and nothing of any special note occurred to indicate that American freedom was not allow ed free rule and reign.
