NUMBERS OF our patrons hay,

NUMBERS OF our patrons have
requested that we agitate change
OF the 0. D. S. ). Co.. steam boa
schedule here. BY this we mean
a change that will give US one
early and one late boat day. II
we are not misinformed such a
schedule did at one time exist and
sthere are many WHO desire its re-
establishment.
To those who travel a good
deal this would be a great advan-
tagc. II they could leave here on
several days in the week and go
ssstraight to Norfolk without max
ling the long and tiresome trip up
the other rivers. it would net only
give them more time here to at
tend to business before leaving,
but would greatly enhance the
pleasure of the trip.
We cannot see that such a
change would inconvenience the
Steamboat Company to any con-
siderable extent. At the same
time it would probably tend to
increase the number of passengers
which they carry and in that case
-of course their profits. We trust
that the matter will receive their
consideration.

some people oppose the raise
of the school levy to fifty cents
on hundred dollars upon the
ground that the increase is intend
ed solely for the good OF the
/ school at Mathews G. H. While
this opposition is supported by
reasons pNreiy immaginarY. yet
hest someone be led astray thereby
We take this occasion to contradict
them.
The district and county funds
available for school purposes in
any district are as distinct and
separate from those of any other
district as are the same funds in
different counties separate and
distinct from each other. Thus
the increase of the levy would
Increase the district fund in the
Chesapeake District which in

be used only to liquidate the ex-
>penses Of the schools in that dis

readily be seen that the Mathews

gobble up all the benefit to be
gained from an increase of levy.
Were this its object we would

The report from Washington is that
q stream Of letters is being sent to
Congressman Dawson from the Sec
ond Iowa district urging him to re-
consider his decision to retire from
the congressional field, but that Daw-
son says he has as yet seen no good
reason why he should. The Ma
quoketa Sentinel, published in Daw-
sons home county, says sit is intimat-
ed that there is possibility of Mr..
Dawson being named for assistant sec
tary of the navy" The Iowa City
Citizen points out that as he has
given much time to the question of
recognizing the navy department he
would be well fitted for such post.
But the Citizen thinks that very
large majority of the Republicans of
the Second district would join in
urging Mr. Dawson to run again if
that should be possibility.

prices will rule high as a logical Sc

the building OF the government canal
about forty years ago made Keokuk
one of the best provision markets in
The west. The amount of money ex-
pended on that enterprise was only
about $4,000, coo, and the workmen
were scattered along the river for a
distance of about ten miles. Develop
ment of the Keokuk and Hamilton
water power involves the expendi-
ture, all told, of 500, 900 900, and prac-
tically all the work will be done within

complaint about high prices is
directed mainly against meat, butter
and eggs, staple products of this com

does not become Keokuk people to
