Return Pass on Stock Held
Demonstrations.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Janu.
airy 27.-The Missouri Su.
preme Court today, in an
opinion by Judge Burgess, de.
cided the law requiring that
free return transportation be
given to shippers with each
car load Of live stock by the
railroads Of this state is I'M
constitutional, on the ground
that it il a discrimination in
rates against other shippers
and in violation of the four.
tenth amendment To the Fed.
erAl Constitution, in that IL
takes property without due
process OF law.
The case was appealed TO
the Supreme Court from Linn
County, where the Board Of
Railroad Com m | y 3 | oners
brought suit against The Bur-
|lington Railroad. The lower
court sustained the commis.
sioners' contention and the
railroad company appealed.
The Supreme Court overrulcs
the decision of the lower
court and the proceedings are
ordered dismissed.
y The opinion says: 1.-THE
right OF the defendant u
charge and collect fares or
tolls for the transportation OF
persons or propert over its
l,ue is the essence of its ran
chise, and To trench up"n This
right would be to deprive il oil

THE MOST POPULAR
BOOK OF TODAY
Every Up-to-date Man May Hear
About 1t Tomorrow Afternoon
at Y. M. c. A. Hall.

The leading book publishers of the
country say very frankly and without
hesitation that the Bible is without
any doubt the most popular book in
the world. This is because there are
more copies of it sold and read than
any other single book published.
There is no other way of determining
the popularity of book. Notwith-
withstanding this, there are hundreds
of people and many of the men In
Keokuk who know very little about
this book of books, but they need
not be ignorant of It any longer than
they wish, for tomorrow afternoon In
the Association hall Frank Nelson
Palmer of the Winona Lake Prepare
tory School is to speak to men about
this book and how to study it.
DR.. Palmer Is not only great
bible student but is acknowledged to
be one of the leading teachers in the
country, for he has not only large
number of young men during the win
ter months but also in the summer
During the Winona Lake assembly he
instructs teachers who come there
from all over the United States. 1t
will be rare privilege for any man,
whether he cares anything about the
bible or not, to hear him tomorrow
afternoon at 3:45 o'clock.
This meeting is the annual fall
bible rally of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association. The bible study
classes will form and begin their
study during the coming week. The
bible study as promoted in the Asso-
! citation is of a practical, up-to-date,
discussion-club kind. The kind that
| brings the ideals of Jesus into every
day things and men enjoy such study.
The men of Keokuk are invited and
urged to enter one of these groups
| for this sort Of study. There is no
expense attached neither is it neces.
sary to be member Of the Associa-
ton.

MARRIES "S0UL
MATE" IN ITALY

New York, April 9-Disclosure WAS
made in this city last night that Mr..
and Mrs. Ferdinand Pinney Earle
have been divorced by the courts Of
France and that Mr.. Earle has been
in Italy to Miss Julia Kutt-
ner, whom he has often described as
his soul mate.
The brides brother says that his
sister expects soon to present her hus-
band with an heir and that Mr.. and
Mrs. Earle will be REMARKED under
some form OF ceremony in this city,
where they intend to live.
One reason Mr.. Earle's presence is
necessary in this city at this time Is
that under the will Of his grand
mother, who died March I3. the ar
tist receives bequest OF $50. 600.
