cent per word and are the best and
cheapest method of advertising that

The announcement last evening
in this paper that number of pros
ecutions for Illegal voting at the last
election We're to be made, has created
considerable of stir in certain quar-
tiers. The law is rather strict in this
regard and number of people who
voted on April when they were not
entitled to do SO, will probably regret
their action in few days.

Active In Sunday school Work.

Active In Sunday school Work.
Few men have made so marked an i'm
preston upon the growing generation
of our city for so many years. He
loved children and young people, and
it was his delight to do all he could in
the Sabbath school work in which he
was interested, not only so far as the
local school was concerned, but in the
larger organization OF Sunday school
work in the state and union. He was
for generation or more local men,
Der of the Board Of Directors Of the
American Sunday school union, and
was most efficient in promoting that
work so far as it was related to Keo-
kuk. He was also interested in the
work of finding homes for children
who were homeless, in the higher
education for young men, and especial
Ily in the work of the Presbyterian
Theological Seminaries. In fact, there
was no department of the church's
work which he did not engage his in
terest and attention
Mr.. Howell not only was a good
speaker at bar, but he did not disdain
nor hesitate to use his attainment in
evangelical work, and, when In his
prime, was many times called upon to
make addresses in churches and be
fore conventions to which he respond
ed with efficiency, readiness and
grace. He was delegate to the Pres
byterian General Assembly in 1894
and was elected delegate and at
tended the worlds Pan Presbyterian
Council at GLASGOW. Scotland, in 1896
His labor of love in the church; his
valuable counsel in the church ses
sion will be sadly missed.
The funeral services will be held al
the family residence tomorrow after
noon at 800 o'clock, conducted by
DR.. E. B. Newcomb.

When simple change of diet brings
back health and happiness the story is
briefly told. A lady of Springfield,

After being afflicted for years with
nervousness and heart trouble, re-
ceived a shock four years ago that left
me in such a condition that my life
was despaired of.
Il could get no relief from doctors
nor from the numberless heart and
nerve remedies tried. because l
didn't know that coffee was daily
putting me back more than the doctors
could put me ahead.
Finally at the request of a friend
l left off coffee and began the use of
Postum and against my convictions I
gradually improved in health until for
the past or months | have been en-
tirely free from nervousness and those
terrible sinking, weakening spells OF
heart trouble
my troubles all came from the use
of coffee which had drunk from child
hood and yet they disappeared when

about it-only common sense.

Love for Family and Friends.

Mr.. Howell found his highest salts
factions In his home, his church and
his friends. Intense in all his nature,
giving himself without reserve to
cause which enlisted his interest and
assistance. he gave an unstinted love
to his family, his friends, and above
all. to his Divine Lord and Master
Love and devotion to Him We're the
dominant purposes OF his life. Where
love prompted and conscience called
he was never hesitant Duty was a
large word to him, but it was duty
prompted and supported by affection,
Where he seemed to hear God speak
ing, in the Bible or in conscience, he
listened for no other voice.
The world has too few men of such
courage, fidelity, affection. loyalty and
christian character as Scott Howell
1t is distinct loss TO the best life of
Keokuk that he has gone from the
city that he loved, the church to
which he was devoted, the home that
was so dear and the assistance in al
!. agencies that sought the help of mer
, and the glory of God.

ii. Scott Howell, Who Passed Away
This Morning Had Been Cit
izen Of keokuk For
Fifty Years.
WAS PIONEER LAWYER
Came to Keokuk in 1857 and Had Been
Prominent and Leading Cit
izen Ever Since That
Time.

The death of n. Scott Howell oc-
cured early this morning at his nome
on Grand Ave. after brief confine-
ment though for many months past
he has been in gradually failing neaith'
which had prepared his friends for the
end at almost any day. Serious heart
failure, coupled with other conditions
of weakness, had so loosened his hold
on life that he and others well knew
that he held at the frailest tenure.
In his death the city loses one of Its
notable and significant figures. For
more than half a century one who
knew keokuk WELL knew II. Scott
Howell as one of the prominent and
forceful citizens His death breaks
almost the last link connecting the
Keokuk of the early days with later
experiences Coming, with all the en-
thusiasm of youth and an ardent ma
ture to the Gate City" of the North
west in 1857, he threw himself into It's
professional social and civic life with
earnest purpose and high ideals which
speedily marked him for prominence.
AS a young lawyer he quickly took
high rank in bar distinguished for it's
strength. BY training and inclination
he inherited and cultivated those old
err and nobler sentiments toward his
profession and its duties which are
sometimes forgotten, and not always
regarded even when remembered. AS
ISOLATED with such men as Lowe,
Lomax, Miller, McCrary, Rankin,
Noble and other strong men of the
Keokuk and Iowa bar, he proved himr
self able to hold his place in the first
rank.
AS a citizen, he was ever interested
in all that tended to build up the com
munity through cultivation of religion
and morals. For many years he was
very actively engaged in the work fol
Temperance, at the polls and else
where. His most intense love and de
votion were given to the cause o
religion. AS young man he passed
through so decided a spiritual expert
ence as to give him sure standin:
ground for his faith and constan
: stimulus for his service in christian
work.

The children who survive Mr.. Howell
are Mrs. Nettie Dunlap of Chicago,
Mr.. VIM. c. Howell of this city and Mr..
Cleves Howell OF Colorado.
Mr.. Howell's life in Keokuk, as
much if not more than that of anyone
living, is inter-twined with, and iden-
tilted with the history of the Presby-
terrain church Of this city. He became
a member of the FIRST church, April 10.
1859, and was elected an elder of that
body February 20, 1861. Upon the
Union of the First church with the
Westminster church in 1870, he com,
tinued as an elder of the united
church, and has therefore been in the
session of the church continuously
for forty-eight years, longer period
than any other person has served In
similar official relation. For twenty
six years he was superintendent of
the Sunday school, and for number
of years after he declined reelection
as superintendent he taught class of
boys.
