A CONFLICTING LETTER

A case of the government trying to
pull the wool over the eyes of the
Commercial club of Keokuk and Of
the chief of the weather bureau being
caught in lie has been discovered.
For the past three or four weeks.
it will be remembered, Secretary w
r. G. Kendrick of the Keo5uk COM
mercial club has been kicking and
kicking hard to have the name ''Keo-
kuk" restored to the daily weather
report which is sent out all over the
country and which includes the
names Of only the larger cities of the
United States, including those with
large populations from San Francis
co to New York City and from the
Twin cities to New Orleans. Some
time ago, this city through the efforts
of the commercial club was able to
see in the big dailies of the country,
the telegraphic weather report from
this city This was continued for
months but about four weeks ago, the
Water Power city's name did not
i appear in the weather report sand Sec
Il Rotary Kendrick Immediately went
after the weather bureau chief at
Washington and asked him to recog-
nize us again.
Recently letter came from the
head of the weather department in
the Capital city to Secretary Kendrick
bearing the following Information:

editor of the Chicago Tribune, to
{ whom Secretary Kendriclx addressed
several letters in an attempt to find
out the reason for SO unceremoniously

GROCERY STORE
WAS ROBBED
EAST END GROCERY
ENTERED LAST NIGHT
Jewelry Worth S75, Candy, Gum, Cl-
gars, ETC., Taken by Robbers
Entered Through Rear Door and
Upon Leaving Left Light Burning
Light Made NeighbOrs Suspicious
and Caused Investigation but no,
Until Robbers had Fled.

Through the operations of an un.
known robber, or several of them, the
East End grocery store is today shor,
about SIS worth of jewelry, and a con.
siderable quantity of cigars, candy
gum, etc. The store was robbed some
time between 10 o'clock and midnight
Sunday and the discovery of the bur-
glary was made last night through
the fact that the intruder left a light
burning in the rear of the store.
About 8 o'clock last evening John
Dyer, proprietor of the store, was at
his place of business, accompanied by
his wife, and says that he noticed
nothing whatever unusual. But about
IL O'Clock he was called by phone by
Eddie Stickler, who lives in that vi
cinity and has worked in the grocery
store in the past. Young Stickler had
observed an unusual light in the rear
of the store and going to the ]. H.
Parkes residence next door called
Mr.. Dyer by phone.
After being aroused from his slum-
pNiS NAlS SAOSSl man lldSleIltu uOWn
tn the store in hopes of surprising the
burglar in the act of robbing the
place. But the fellow had left some
time before leaving a light burning
and the rear door unlocked. He hal
gained entrance to the store through
the rear door and it is Mr.. Dyers op-
inion that he used a pass key as the
door was not injured.
The jewelry stolen consisted of rings
chains, bracelets, etc. The value of
the jewelry is placed at S75 by Mr..
Dyer. He is also positive that some
cigars, some candy and gum was also
stolen, but is not sure as to the ex.
tent of his loss in that line. About
As or so pennies were taken from a
glass jar in the candy show case. The |
regular cash drawer had been left |
partly open by Mr. Dyer, when he |
closed the store, and it had not been |
nolested, Neither was the safe tam |
)ered with.
Sheriff Taylor and deputies are now
Ii work upon the case and hope to ap-
'rehend the burglar though up to this
ime no arrest has been made.

Seattle, July ia. B. Stickney,
president of the Chicago Great West
ern railroad, who is here today, in
discussing the railroad situation of
the country, said: mot until all the
railroads are consolidated or until
the government proceeds to do di-
rectly what it now is attempting to
do by indirection-that is, fixes abb
solutely all the railroad rates-will
there be an era of stability and peace,
and fair play both to the railroads
and the public. Competition between
railroads make low rates at competi-
tive points and this is most unjust
and the people have right to COM
plain. Without doubt the railroad
situation shows an improvement over
a year ago."
