NO CHECK FOR
UNDER "A DOLLAR
New U. S. Law Declares Such Thing
to be Unlawful and Maker
Liable to Fine.

According to section 179 of the re-
vised penal code of the United States.
which was approved March 4. 1909, if
you write check for less than 81 you
will make yourself liable for fine and
Imprisonment.
The section of the code mentioned
provides that no person shall make
issue, circulate, or pay out any note,
check, memorandum, token. or other
obligation for less sum than 81 in
tended to circulate as money or to be
received or used in lieu of lawful
money of the United States. The
maximum fine is $500, the maximum
Imprisonment for six months. The
report of congressional proceedings
show that the section was passed
without objection, although the read
ing of any other sections was at
tended by considerable discussion. 1t
seems reasonable to suppose that
something else than bank checks was
in the minds of the lawmakers as this
section was read and passed.
Hundreds of merchants all over the
country are pouring in protests, for
If the law is to be taken literally it
will cause no end of inconvenience
and trouble in the settlement of small
accounts, especially with those who do
| mail order business.

a Distinct Earthquake Shock Was Felt
This Morning by Large Mum.
Der Of keokuk
People.
GOOD SOUND SHAKING
Windows and Doors Ratified and Some
Were Unaware Of the Fact
That an Earthquake
Was Taking Place.

Did you feel the earthquake this
morning? There was one and a very
distinct shock was felt by large
number Of citizens who were rudely
wakened from their sound slumbers
about a quarter of four by the rafting
of the windows and the shaking of the
doors. Beds shook and for about the
space of ten seconds there was dis
tinct shock felt in all parts of the
city. Many people felt the shock and
were speaking Of it today, although
there were any number of sound
slumberers who were unaware that
anything out of the ordinary was TAX
ing place.
This is the third or fourth distinct
shock felt from earthquake that has
been felt in Keokuk In the last six
months but those who felt this morn
duration than those preceding it
though only one shock was felt, this
morning.
Accompanying the shock a sound
'SAS AnS' lAoI VI q SIIOd6 LIN pAOWiA6
could be heard and several who heard
| it say that they jumped from their
beds to see what was going on and be-
came aware OF the quake by the shak-
ing of the floors in the house, with the
trembling sensation that accompanies
these earth phenomena.
Telegraph reports state today that
Keokuk was not only the only place
where the shock was felt, number
of nearby towns and cities feeling the
earth tremb'e at the same time and
with the same force.
These quakes have become more
frequent in the past several years and
are becoming more so, the shock felt
this morning being the third or fourth
one that has occurred in the past few
months. Though there is nothing to
be feared from these earth tremblings,
the feeling is not a pleasant one and
that ghostly feeling accompanies each
| in turn that awaken citizens from
their sleep.

Epilepsy,
Fits

my son was cured of a very
bad case of epilepsy with DIR.
Miles Nervine.'
MRS. D. BAKER, Cleveland, Q.
"My little daughter who was
afflicted with St. Vitus' Dance
is now entirely we'll after taking
DR.. Miles Nervine only four
months
MRS. C. G. BENNETT,
Alma, Mich.
Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasns, are all nerv-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in a complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost Of the rem
edy. The best evidence you can
get of it's merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. lake
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.
