do anything reasonable to secure a
road. II the people are privileged to
take either bonds or stocks and they
can be convinced 1t is q good invest
ment. stock or bonds could probably
be sold. The idea to first pay over
the money for bonds or stock after the
road is finished is very reasonable.
However, Mr.. Kelley said his state
ments were only problematical as yet.
He was glad the delegation called, as
1t will be factor in his report to the
financiers whom he represents.
1t was also developed at the meet
ing that the trolley route, II the road
is built, will probably be materially
changed. They have an offer from the
T., p. & ". which will probably be
accepted. 1t is to run over the T. P.
1 ". track from Keeokuk to Elvaston,
the T. p. & w. to use the trolley track
from Elvaston into Carthage. The
trolley route would then strike north
west Of Elvaston through Powellton
and on to Niota. The route would
come into Nauvoo on ct" or stub
from about a mile east. They claim
| this is much better route than the
old one, that it goes over more level
country, and that 1t is about i've miles
shorter than the old survey. It would
be quite an item in the expense of
construction of the line. This new
route would eliminate that section in
Monticello township and near Elvas-
ton where lot Of grading has already
been done. 1t would also 60 into
Niota on the old Woods survey east
of the last route surveyed. The peo-
1 pie Of Nalvoo won't like the idea of
a single track, but 1t may not make
much difference If cars make good
connections at the junction. Elvas.
ton will also be junction. The
route taken may depend also some
what on the liberality of the farmers
in giving the right of way.
i Mr.. kieran stated that he was an
xious to put In a filtering plant for
4 the water works system and would
Ilife the city to take 40 hydrants at
I SIS each per year. He was told the
i people would have to vote on the
Question and our recent experience

POPULAR PLACE
OF AMUSEMENT
The RoII-a-way skating Rink Closed
Its Doors on Saturday Even
ing Until Cooler
Weather.
RoLL-A.wAY POPULAR
RoLL-A-WAY POPULAR
Was . Popular Amusement Place
For Ladies and Gentlement
and Was Finely
Conducted.

The Roll-a-Way skating rink, one Of
Keokuk's most popular amusement
places for the past six months has
just closed and will probably not
reopen its doors until cooler weather
comes again in the fall.
On last Thursday evening Mr.. King
one OF the rink managers and propri-
etors made the announcement that the
rink would be closed on Saturday
evening, indefinitely. During this time
repairs will be made to the rink and
hall in general and when the place is
re-opened lovers of the roller skating
fad which has become quite prevalent
in this city will be treated to one OF
| the finest little Kinks in this part
OF the country.
Since the opening of the rink the
middle of December last year. the
place has been most popular as rem
devious for ladies and gentlement and
the house has been conducted strict
ily along these lines and a cleaner,
more healthful amusement place could
not be wished for since the advent of
| the Roll-a-Way.
During its five months and more OF
running the patrons of the rink have
been treated to some very novel en-
/ tertainments in the way Of masquer-
ade parties, private rink parties, rose
parties and everything that the man
agement of the house, Messrs. Frank
Wilmering and Roy King could devise
lin the way OF amusement for their
many patrons was done and to say the
least, their many little courtesies and
pleasures extended to the amusement
i loving population OF Keokuk, have
been highly appreciated.
4 This city as rule is not one to sup
n port IN a large way places OF amuse
ment and for this reason is probably
due the fact that more places Of
amusement have not been run in this
lefty. But with the installation Of the
Roll-a-Way last fall and since its open
ing the management have felt graft
4 fled with the support given them in
conducting good and reputable place
OF amusement for the ladies and gen
tlemen OF Keokuk.
4 It is to be hoped that the rink
will be reopened at as early date
as possible Some little talk Of a
summer rink being conducted in this
city was talked Of but nothing def
| mite as to this has been decided.
Closing night at the Roll-a-Way wit
messed one of the largest rowds Of
the season present to enjoy last
skate for the time being.

Definite Announcement Regarding
the New Line viii Probably
be Made About the First
Of July.

The Nauvoo trolley decision will
likely be made about. July 1, according
to sMr. Kieran, who is still working on
the project and promised the Nau-
VOC people to let them know soon.
The following from the Independent,
tells Of the present situation:
About half dozen OF our business
men called on p. j. Kieran and Attor-
ney H. T. Kelley at the Academy We'd
nesday afternoon, not in any way rep
resenting the city or citizens, but to
pay social visit and exchange inter-
views on the trolley situation. The
citizens were cordially received and
they had a very interesting chat with
the gentlemen for couple Of hours.
OF course the gentlemen could give no
definite information as to the trolley,
but they intimated what might be ex-
pected from the people here II their
plans were carried out. AS already
stated, in our last issue, they are at
present busy trying to settle the at.
fairs Of the Fidelity Funding company
They have other places to go to, and
it will probably take month or six
weeks to complete the work, after
which time they will know exactly
what they will do and what they will
expect Nadvoo TO DO. Mr.. Kelley
thought the people OF this community
who need a road SO bad, and who
think 1t would pay well, ought to show
their faith in the project by subscrib
ing for stock or buying bonds. He
thought the people of the cities on tbs
route and the farmers ought to take
about $3.50, 300 worth Of preferred
stock or bonds, the money to be PAID
only after the road is completed ant

MONTHLY MEETING OF
A. A. U. is PEACEFUL
Tommy De Ybarrondo Is Further Sus-
pended Indefinitely, and Amateurs
Take Action Leading to Wild
ening of Activities

At the monthly meeting of the
Southern California branch of the A.
A. U. last night at the Y. M. c. A. it
was decided to tax the promoters of
the Southern California Swimming as
ISOLATION the sum of $40 for their
sanction for holding the Pacific coast
swimming championships at Alamitos
bay. Heretofore the sanction was only
So. Harry Wycroff, chairman of the
arrangements committee for the South
ern California gymnastic contests
which will be held at the Los Angeles
Y. NJ C. A, reported that arrange
ments We're progressing fast for the
first event of it's kind ever scheduled
in the south.
1t was decided to wind up the an
nual business of the A. A. u. at a
banquet to be held at the Lankershifn
hotel in the near future. A committee
of two, consisting of Harry Wycroff
of Polytechnic high school and Dean
Cromwell of u. S. c., was appointed
to look into the arrangements. The
purpose of this banquet is to induce
the athletic organizations not connect
ed with the A. A. U, to join, so that
athletic relationship shall be kept on
a smoothly running basis.
Chairman George Braden of the reg
istration committee reported that the
Olympic club of San Francisco had
asked for the transportation of four
Wrestlers to Los Angeles to compete
in the Southern California wrestling
championships which will be held at
Ascot park during the Elks entertain
ment. Braden also reported that six
new registration blanks had been is
sued and that he had received forty
two protests, which were acted upon,
and that nine athletes were disquali-
fled and twenty eight were granted
amateur cards during the month.
Dean Cromwell entered a protest
against Catcher West of the st. Vim
cents baseball team >for playing on
the Redondo baseball team and Capt.
Franklin of the Los Angeles Athletic
club filed protest against James Dod-
son, first baseman of the Polytechnic
high school baseball team, for partici-
pating in a Marathon race which was
run off at San Pedro recently for al
legged money prizes.
Tommy De Ybarrando, pitcher for
the ST. Vincent's baseball team, was
further suspended for taking part in a
baseball game at Redondo under an
assumed name. The committee, gave
out the impression that any player
suspended for playing against or with
professional players hereafter would
suffer the same penalty providing he
did so with intent. Chairman Oliver
Best of the Echo park playground
read his report regarding the forma-
ton of Saturday and Sunday After
noon league for amateurs which was
received by the general body with a
vote of thanks for the interest taken
in the matter. The high schools are
very favorably impressed with the
plan.
President Raitt stated that at the
next meeting he would appoint the
two vacant positions for delegate at
large and also the place made vacant
by the resignation of Rev. Father Mar
tin of st. Vincent's college. The meet
ing adjourned until further call of the
chair.
