A LARGE Concern.

The plant Oh Water street which has
been closed during the past few
months on account of the failure of
the Egg-O-See company last fall, is a
large one, and the plant when in full
operation and employing workmen
gives employment to about fifty people
including men and girls and the pay
roll of the keoluk company is large
one. For this reason the news OF the
reopening of this Keokuk plant will be
favorably received by local people and
1t is hoped and stated that as soon as
tho company can be put on good
sound basis that the plant will be run
ming full force again.

lapsed in her apartment of the Hotel
Astor, and may not be able to take
the stand on behalf of her son, Jen-
kins. McIntrye sent an assistant to
see ii her condition is such thaht she
can't testify. He will consider the
question of having her dispositions
taken and submitted to the
jury. According to Major Hams,
her condition is critical. Pny-
sicians ordered her not to leave bed
today.
Witness Changes Story.
Crane today declared he would re.
woke the order of yesterday excluding
the prosecution witnesses from the
room. Mcintyre objected, but was
overruled. Minnie Rohne. colored, a
cook, took the stand. Crane declared
he did not intend the witness to be
led by consul, but be bound by the
rule of evidence to permit her to tell
what she told Captain Hams. There
was absolutely no limit of testimony
to this. Witness corrected her form
er testimony declaring she was mis-
taken when she said she told the cap
tain of Mrs. Eains alleged miscon-

There were radical, drastic ruling
against the defense, causing Mcintyre
to abandon the examination OF one

sickness. Alienists for both the de-
Tense and prosecution declared Nc
lntyre too sick to continue Crane
granted an adjournment until tomor-
row. Mrs. Annis was the meature of
the morning session. She entered the
room just as the negro servant was
telling of the relations between Annis
and Claudia Hams. 1t was indicated
by her manner she disbelieved the
charges. Her manner was noted by
the jury who paid as much attention
to her as they did the witness. After
she left the courtroom she declared,
I had and have every confidence in
my husband and know the assertions
made against him are entirely untrue
