Women.

Louis G. Mulch, charged with send
ing obscene letters to young women
in Keokuk anu other places waived
preliminary examination before u. S.
Commissioner Martindale at Quincy
and is being held under $500 bond. The

ing near West Point Mulch, WHO
comes from a we'll to do and promi-
nent family, waived preliminary hear
ing and was bound over to the fed
eral grand jury In the sum of $500,
which he promptly furnished. Ac-
companying Mulch to the city was his
attorney, Senator Gibson. of Carthage,
who will defend him in the federal
court.
The warrant in, the case was sworn
out by Postof1ce Inspector Swift,
who has been working on the case for
some time and he has gathered to-
gether many letters written in the
same hand which are about the
foulest ever penned. Accompanying
some OF the letters were pictures OF
most outrageous character. These
letters will be used as evidence in the
federal court, together with such
evidence as will be furnished by the
postmaster of Whrsaw, Miss Olga
Satory and other witnesses who will
be summoned. Letters written in the
same hand were also addressed to
young women of MEMPHIS, Mo-, Keo-
kuk and other places during the re-
cent past.
Mulch is understood to claim that
he is innocent of the charge Of mail
ing the obscene letters.

NOT MANY PEOPLE
WENT THIS MORNING
The Moist Condition Of the Atmos-
phere Relieving Outdoor ceIe-
brations Of Their Charms.

Instead of several hundred people
boarding the train for Burlington
this morning where the regatta is to
be held today, there were only about
hundred amusement seekers who
braved the weather and made the trip.
If the day had been nice there would
undoubtedly have been enough peo-
pie go to the races to fill the coaches
which the engine pulled out this morn
ing. four extras having been added,
which it is doubtful whether they were
filled on the way or not.
The Steamer Keokrlk which offered
special rates for trip to Quincy, in
which place big celebration was
planned, had about fifty on board
when she pulled out about eight
o'clock
The depot reminded person of a
relief station for flood sufferers, as
many people rushed under the cover
of the protecting roof, with the water
running off of them in streams. The
base ball team left at seven thirty
and with their baggage piled up in a
heap some of the players themselves
little damp from the rain, a person
surely was led to think that they had
been rescued from a flooded district
somewhere Any way the rain will
do away with the danger of fires large
ly and give the speed boats plenty Of
water to run in. AS 1T looked this
morning the chances for a game of
ball at Burlington are slim and the
players evidently had a chance to
witness the boat races on the river.

BUSY DOCTOR.
Sometimes ovcrIooks Point.

The physician Is such a busy man
that he sometimes overlooks a valu-
able point to which his attention may
be called by an intelligent patient who
is thinker.
About a year ago my attention was
called to Grape-Nuts by one of my pa
tients. says a physician of Cincinnati.
"At the time my own health was
bad and was pretty we'll run down
but saw at once that the theories be-
hind Grape-Nuts were sound and that
if the food was all that was claimed,
it was a perfect food.
So commenced to use Grape-Nuta
with cream twice day and in short
time began to improve in every way
and am now much stronger, feel bet
ter and weigh more than ever before
in my life.
Il know that all Of this good is due
to Grape-Nuts and am firmly convinc-
ed that the claims made for the food
are true.
II have recommended, and still rec
ommend, Grape-Nuts to a great many
Of my patients with splendid results,
and in some cases the Improvement of
patients on this fine food has been
wonderful.

as a general food, Grape-Nuts stands

NEW LAW TO BE TESTED
Red Light District Has Been Re.
lieved Of Many Of its Resi-
dents, According to
Reports

Marshal Kesselring, Night Captain
Scheevers and Officer Freeman raid
ed a negro gambling joint in Burrow,
how Sunday morning at 12:45 o'clocI
ana seven negroes are now lodged i,
the City jail The case will be tn,
first ole under the new Iowa law re
garding gambling and the law will be
put to test The negroes arrested
were the following:
Archie Brown.
Fred Hayden.
Harry Taylor.
Lee Anderson.
Roy Owens.
Ross Breaks,
William Taylor.
+ Upon their arrival on the scene a
the early Sunday morning hour. the
ohcers found the seven negroes en-
gagged in a big crap game in one Q,
the large rooms in the row and the
gambling was on in earnest. The Of
ficers rounded up every negro present
and brought them to the police sta
ton where they will remain until their
preliminary hearing.
The arrests are the result az an
atttmpt OF Marshal Ktsselring to en-
force the new gambling laws as he
mad previously given notice that all
forms of gambling must stop. It was
also the result of a little sleuthing on
the part of one of the officers and
when everything was in readiness
quick action was taken.
The negroes made no resistance In
tae face Of the three officers and
We're brought to the station without
much trouble. It is thought by the Of
hcers that the game was a bigger one
earlier in the evening.
Reports from the "Red Light" dis.
trlct are to the effect that the resi-
dents thereof have taken heed to the
warming OF Marshal KesseIring and
have fortified themselves against any
action of the law as authorized in
recent Iowa legislation. Many land
ladies' of these houses of ill-fame are
80 70 PSdCSlu1 ClllZeuS Dut
they have disposed of the small army
OF young women, who have shaken the
dust of Keokuk from their heels. At
the present time everything is peace
ful and quietude reigns in the lower
districts and conditions will continue
TO be such for time at least. Sew
eral OF the landlords are known to
have closed up their houses and left
the city.
A representative Of the Keokuk
Electric Light and Power company
made tour the other day for the pur-
pose of finding out whether the land
ladies wanted their gas or electric
light meters removed in case they
were about to leave the city. He
found that only one had closed I'D and
wanted the meter removed, the 9th
ers requesting that the meters be left
intact. This leads to the belief that
while the Red Light" will be closed
for time the young women will flock
back to the city.

NO HOPE OF SAVING
Grew OF SUBMARINE
Russian oliver" Sent to Bottom
in Collision; 20 Perish.

Sebastopol, June 14-All hope is
gone of saving the lives of the crew OF
twenty of the Russian submarine boat
Kambala, which was sunk in collision
with the battleship Rostislav during
maneuvers Friday night, or of recov-
ering the wreck, owing to the great
depth of water. Two divers have died
in the attempts to rescue the men on
account of the immense pressure. 9th
ers have tried repeatedly and heroic
ally to pass chains around the wreck,
but finally came to the surface ut
terly exhausted, having accomplished
nothing. All operations have been
abandoned.
The Kambala went down in $50 feet
of water, and only untrustworthy bulk
heads stood between the men and
death after the boat was struck by
the ram of the Rostislav.
The submarine fiotilla was conduct
ing a series of night manoeuvers
against the battleship squadron, with
the idea of forcing an entrance into
the harbor of Sebastopol. The Kan
bala, running half submerged, passed
half cable length to port of the lead
ing ship, the Panteleimon, and theoret
ically put this vessel out of action
with torpedo. After passing the first
battleship the Kambala suddenly and
unaccountably swerved through the
line and the Rostislav caught hel
squarely with her ram. The subma
rine sank at once.
First Lieutenant Aquilonoff was or
deck at the time of the accident. He
swan away and was saved, but Cap
tain Bielikoff, Midshipman Tuckkoff
a warrant officer and seventeen mem
bers of the crew perished.
