COMMISSION PLAN
AT BURLINGTON
Letter Received There From secre.
tary w. r. G. kendrick of
keokuk.

Burlington Hawk-Eye. Burlington's
agitation for the commission plan of
municipal government has called forth
much favorable comment in the press
of this and neighboring states. It is
generally conceded to be step in
the right direction. There is the
neighboring city OF Keokuk, which
has held her special election and de-
clared in favor of the new plan by a
very handsome majority. No doubt,
Burlington will do likewise. The Sec
rotary of the Keokuk Commercial
club, who, by the way, is an old Bur
lington boy and therefore takes spec
ial interest in the Orchard City. her
coming and going, her doing and not
doing, writes his colleague in Burling-

moving along nicely in peace and har-
mony.
The troubles of last year are athing
of the past and in place of strife and
confusion, peace and love reign SUI
preme.
Our financial interests have been
looked after with such honesty and
earnestness on the part of our leader
that our secretary, Prof. Ed. Bryant
was able to report in the church meet
ing of last month a sum of $3.50 col
lected within tie last quarter. 1t is
seen to that all monies are properly
applied on our church indebtedness.
The money is paid out through the
bank by the deacons and trustees
which gives satisfaction to the entire
congregation.
To our creditors, we wish to say
do not be uneasy for we will meet al
our Indebtedness as soon as We can.
We are planning for great rally

This Morning on the

MANY PEOPLE MET THEM
Bid Crowds Came in on all the
Trains and Many Farmers
Drove to
Town.

The Al cars Of Buffalo Bills circus
arrived this morning from Jackson
Vile over the Wabash, in three Sec
tons. Section number one got here
at ten minutes after five and consist
ed OF one box car and fifteen stock
cars containing all their horses and
various other animals. At 6:35 the
next section arrived. 1t was made UP
Of FIVE coaches and eleven fiat cars,
the latter having on board most Of
the big wagons. The last section came
In about eight o'clock, five coaches
and ten fiat cars comprising 1t.
BY the time the first cars arrived,
there were two or three hundred peo-
pie at the levee waiting for glimpse
Of cowboys and Indians. BY eight
o'clock there were over a thousand
people present eagerly looking
over everything on hand. Small
boys stood around venturing on the
kicking capacity OF the horses and
upon the war records of the Indians,
while the older folks were equally at
tentive only they kept their thoughts
largely to themselves.

started and then the horses were un-
loaded from the fifteen stock cars.
The crowd was greatly interested in
watching the animals being removed
from the cars, they having to walk
down very steep incline. 1t took
several horsemen to herd the buffalos
out to the grounds and it was a thrill
ing sight to see them run up Bank
street hill.
l The route taken was up Bank
street to Fourth and from there to
Main on out to the show grounds.
Everything worked very smoothly
while unloading the wagons and live
stock. The teamsters who drive
horses pulling wagons of the cars
are all equipped with big shoes and
the routsabouts are all dressed better
than the ordinary circus laborer. Both
Pawnee Bill and his partner Buffalo
Bill, made their appearance on the
scene OF the unloading and looked
things over.

Launch Stolen This Week Recovered
-Tarpauiin Stolen From Spot
Between Hamilton and
Crystal Glen.

Police are investigating the fire
which occurred last evening at the
White Ice house, situated on the canal
near the city boundary line and
which is the second which has &C.
Cured there within short time.
There is little question in the minds
of the owner and police that the fire
is of an incendiary origin.
Not long ago the large ice house
was completely destroyed by fire and
the owners shortly afterwards had
several car loads of lumber sent to
the spot and the rebuilding will
commence very soon. Last evening in
some mysterious manner the two
car loads of building material became
ablaze and nothing could be done to
save it. The fire department was
notified but a run would have been
useless.
At o'clock this morning the fire
was reported to the night police and
today Marshal Keselring is taking UP
the work of investigation what may
lead to the capture of the person or
persons connected with the affair.
