ice famine NOW
LOOKS CEARTAIN
Local Ice Dealers Predict that They
viii Have to Lean to out-of.
Town Men For September
Supply.
CAUSE FOR SCARCITY
Short Harvest Season, Intense Heat Of
Present Summer and Burning Of
Ice House on Canal Are
Three. a

Within a month from today Keokuk
will be destitute of ice and it will
be necessary for the city's dealers
to call upon out of town dealers for
their supplies to tide them through
the present season. According to a
merchant this morning who uses
about three ton OF ice day to make
and pack Ice cream the Ice dealers
report a scarcity that has been I'M
equalled for number OF years. This
same merchant was fortunate to con-
tract with a big ice dealer for Ice
at $2.25 a ton, while other consumers
are paying in the neighborhood Of
$500 for the same amount The re-
suit is that the contract has been
worth money to the consumer and the
ice man is losing money every time
he delivers a cake for that money.
One reason for the shortage this
season is the fact that the ice harvest
was not good one and was not OF
any length. Many Of the local deal
ers did not get in their usual amount

one of intense heat a large quantity
has been consumed every day. A
large quantity OF the ice put up last
winter was shipped out OF the city
and much of the ice was taken from
Keokuk, the heavy shipments being
felt by the local consumers The Mis-
sissippi Coal and Ice company ship
ped ton after ton of the first cut ice
when the harvest was good and 1t
went many miles from the city. Also
the burning down of the ice house
on the canal short time ago helped
to lessen the amount of ice, as thous.
ands OF pounds were melted by the
flames.
The big ice dealer and packer in
this vicinity outside Of Keokuk is
Earnest Corsepius OF Fort Madison,
and reports from there are that the
ice supply there is holding up. 1t is
predicted that local ice dealers will
have to deperd upon out of town
dealers for supply during September.

PARTY LEFT FOR
NIAGARA FALLS
Large Excursion Left in the Morning
at $50 Over the Wabash to Visit
Niagara Falls and New
York.
MANY IN THE PARTY
Rates Are Lowered Each Summer so
That the Trip Is Cheap and
Fine One Within Easy
Reach.

Each summer the Wabash railroad
company makes an especially low
round trip rate for those who wish
TO visit Niagara Falls and New York.
lhese excursions are always popular
an attract many who would other
wise remain at home and never see
the wonderful falls in all their bean
ty. This year many took advantage
OF the low rate and left yesterday
morning at $50 for Niagara. The
party was to arrive at Niagara sta
ton this morning at 7:3O a. m.
There are large number OF side
trips that are interesting and fine ones
that may be taken on a trip Of this
KIND, and on account OF the exceed
lngiy low rate the excursions run to
New York and the falls are always
popular. 1t has been figured out that
forty or fifty dollars would take a
person all the way through even to
visiting New York city, ana spending
several days in the metropolis.

from Keokuk on thee special
excursion were the following
