took a gang of men down with him and
began the slow, cold, toilsome, almost
hopeless task of getting his wires I'M
tangled from the rest, supported some
how. and insulated. The telephone
companies men realized that the best
thing for them to do was to wait I'M
til the telegraph and electric compa-
MES had some influence in untangling
the mess before they began work. In
the meantime rush orders were sent
out for gangs of wiremen and steeple
jacks to report here on the first train.
Everything was covered with sleet,
and the repairs necessitated climbing
to the top of the steel tower, hun
dred feet above the water of the river
and working there in the high wind ON
sleet-covered, frail supports.
A new top must be built to the
tower. and upon it must be strung all
the wires. which aggregate about
ton in weight and pull. perhaps more
in the stresses of the wind. 1t was a
job that takes time, patience, and es'
pecially nerve and real courage.

CLEARS THE COMPLEXION
OVERNIGHT
PimpIes Rash Eruptons, Etc, Quick
ly Eradicated by New Skin
Remedy.

Since it's discovery one year ago,
poslam, the new skin remedy, has, in
its extraordinary accomplishments, ex-
ceeded the most sanguine expectations
of the eminent specialist who gave it
to the world, 1t has cured thousands
of cases of eczema and eradicated IA
cial and other disfigurements of years
standing. The terrible itching attend
ing eczema is stopped with the first
application, giving proof of its cura-
tive properties at the very outset.
In less serious skin affections, such
as pimples, rash, herps, blackheads,
acne, BARRIERS itch, etc. results show
after an overnight application only
small quantity being required to effect
a cure. Those who use polsam for
these minor skin troubles can now avail
themselves of the special 50-cent pack
age, recently adopted to meet such
needs. Both the 50-cent package and
the regular 50 jar may now be obtain
ed in Keokuk at Wilkinson & Cos and
other leading drug stores.
Samples for experimental purposes
may be had free of charge by writing
direct to the Emergency Laboratories.

Basket Ball Game Between Memphis
and keokuk Girls Team Was
Tie at the End Of
Second Half.
FINAL SCORE WAS 10 TO 8
keokuk High School Girls Team suf-
fered Defeat in Hard Fought
Game at St. Peters
Gymnasium.

When the whistle sounded the close
day afternoon at st. Peters gymnas
ium, between the Keokuk high school
girls team and the Memphis high
school girls team, the score stood s
to after hard fought game in which
neither team had the advantage.
Play continued and the small, but
enthusiastic audience, well awoke to
the fierce struggle for supremacy.
Both teams fought hard and for a
time neither had the advantage. Fin
ally lucky succession of plays fol-
lowed by an accurate pass gave the
visitors the victory
While the Keokuk team was disap-
pointed at not winning the game
Memphis was given full credit for the
victory.
The only thing that can be said
about the game is that the two teams
We're very closely matched and it was
almost impossible for either team tc
remain in the lead for any length of
time. At the close of the first half
the score stood to and tie of s
to at the close of the second half
prolonged the argument.
There were quite good many fouls
made by members of both teams and
the greater number of points were
made in this manner. The lineup and
