Travel Light.

Local railroad officers report little
travei at the present time. The pas
sengers lists have been quite small
during the past two weeks, few tickets
being sold at any of the offices. The
local agents are looking for an in
crease within the next two weeks,
however, as even the distant approach
of Christmas always brings with 1t
considerable travel. The freight bust
ness continues good and no decrease
has been noticed II this department
of the railroad business.
The local Burlington office mas been
granted an extra section on the sleep
err running daily between Burlington
and Chicago. The new sleeper which
has been put on is large one con-
tanning fourteen section. This gives
Burlington and Keokuk each an extra
section. This condition was announced
several days ago and is now in effect.

pie to Think About Before
Buying.

1t is quiet generally known that
there are over three hundred mail
order" catalogues in the homes of
Keokuk citizens. The mail order"
house estimates that each catalogue
sent out will at least bring in five dol
lars worth of business If this rule
applies in Keokuk, the least possible
amount that is going out of town to
the mail order" house is $1,000. Even
though this sum did represent the to-
tai, Gas it probably does not) it is bad
for our city that this state of affair
should exist.
Bear in mind that the chances are
few If one penny of that amount ever
gets back to Keokuk.
There is not one thing that you can
order from the mail order" catalogue
that you cannot secure from the local
merchant, or at least can be ordered
by him for you. You can rest as
sured that If the article is not just as
represented Mr.. Local Merchant will
