Winding Crochet Wool.

Winding wool so that the thread
may be drawn from the inside of the
ball is big help to those who knit
or crochet. Start your ball by wind
! ing in long loops and then wrap loose
ly over only one end, letting the other
stick out like little tuft When you
are ready to start on the ball pull
gently at the tuft until it comes oul
in your hand and start from that end.

Brueaeman Has Friends.

Manager Egan is evidently going in
for speed this season. The class of
players he is signing, shows that So
far they are all swift on their feet.
Mr.. Egan has stated that he will not
have slow men on his team this sea
son; all those signed must be able to
run bases as well as hit tie ball. By
signing Lemon for catcher, in the
place of Bruggeman he makes a dis.
tinct gain in this respect Bruggeman
was heavy batter when he hit the
ball, often knocking GU. two and
three baggers. and three times last
year hitting the ball for a home run.
But he was a slow base runner and
often lost all that he had gained in his
batting. when he himself was the only
beneficiary. Lemon on the other hand
is hit and run pl -yer. who gets over
the ground rapidly. His base running
is a feature Of his work while his
throwing TO second is sensational
Manager Egan expressed high elation
over the signing of the former Keo-
kuk man and believes he has the
most promising catcher in the league
Wagner, whom Egan has signed for
first base. is also heady base-run-
ner. and heavy hitter. while Little
boy has the native ability for getting
over the ground with lightning like
rapidity

United Railway Directors Announce
His Selection For President
of the United Railways
Company.

Chief Executives Of the Union and

dents Of st. Louis-st.

The following from this mornings
st. Louis Globe-Democrat will be of
interest to those Keokuk people who
have been watching the operations OF
the companies concerned, owing to
their interest and utilization with the
Keokuk and Hamilton Water Power
company enterprise at this point:
Capt. Robert McCulloch is to be
president of the United Railways COM
pany. and the presidents of the I'm
ion Electric Light and Power company
and the Laclede Gas Light company
are also to be ST. Louisians. Captain
McCulloch has been decided upon be-
cause of the success he has met with
as vice president and general man
ager of the United Railways, 1t Is
stated. and because he has full knowl-
edge of local conditions and the
wishes of the people. Men equally
well informed on local needs will be
but who these men will be, the St.
Louis directors of the North American
company, the holding corporation, con-
lfess that they do not yet know.
! Mr. McCulloch will be president of
the United Railways company: that
has been decided" said one of the di-
rectors yesterday But no other Sc
lections have been made or considered,
as yet Each company's board will
lbe permitted to select its head. In
other words, the local directors will
direct 1t is the hope and expectation
with this new policy in operation
there will be full and friendly CO.
operation between the management of
the public utilities companies, the pub
I lie and the press, to the end that all
I interests will receive proper and fair
treatment. The ST Louis l-operties
jof the North American are practically
owned and controlled in st. Louis.
Most of the preferred stock and bonds
of the United Railways are owned
here as is the majority of the securi-
ties of the Laclede Gas Light company
lit is. therefore. right that st. Louis
ans should control these properties.
Festus ]. Wade and Charles II. Hut
itig have both been mentioned as prob
able heads Of the Laclede Gas Light
and the Union Electric. but both state
that they would not consider the posi-
lions because of lack of time properly
to attend to the duties. c. l.. Holman
secretary of the Laclede. is also spok-
en- of to head that company, and the
fact that 1t has been agreed that only
men with practical knowledge OF the
field will be considered, lends color
to the likelihood of his selection.
A story printed yesterday by an
afternoon paper that plan is on foot
to concentrate the plants of the Union
Electric and Laclede Gas, the location
of the property to be in Corondelet
was emphatically denied by local di
rectors yesterday. The Union Electric
has recently erected new plant at the
foot of Ashley street. and Carondelet
is selected as a site for new gas
plant. The Laclede is asking the city
10 vacate nine streets in Carondelet
adjoining the 100-acre tract 1t owns
there.

Mr. Haines We notice IN your valu-
able paper of last week, also IN the Free
Press of same week. that it is stated that
on account of scarcity Of water Sunday
night. September 26, the fire companies
could do nothing towards distinguishing
the fire which destroyed the Misses Rid
dies stable. While 1t is fact that the
building was far beyond saving when the
fire companies arrived, it is a fact that
the standplpe at the time was over half
full of water. more than $4,000 gallons
of water in it. Had the fire hose been
distributed on more mains instead OF
concentrated on one main. there would
have been much more pressure. While
other towns have been suffering for wa
ter, Charles Town has had sufficient
amount for its use. 1t seems to be the
impression that race water has been
turned into the reservoir. This too, is a
mistake. We are furnishing fresh spring
water all the time.
