EXPERTS FIND
FLAWS IN THE
CITY BOOKS

Things have been running
rather loose in city affairs, accord
ing to the report of Price, Water
house & Co., the experts who
have been looking over city books.
A lot of little discrepancies due
in the main to poor bookkeeping
are shown by their report made
today to the council.
A new system of accounting to
cover all departments so every
body can be checked up, is recon-
mended.
There has been a looseness in
looking after the enforcement of
laws for the collection of licenses
especially. Out of 1900 places
that should have taken out license
for the sale of wares under the
pure foo dordinance only about
zoo have done SO, according to
the report.

street was torn up and men got
busy with saws saving off the
rails to make the connection.
Mayor Fawcett heard of 1t about
1 o'clock this afternoon. He sent
a couple of officers down at once
and stopped the work and put a
guard on to prevent 1t being COM
pleted.
"I don't intend they shall lay
any track where they have no
franchise without getting some
right to do it," said Fawcett.
The track is in all right now,
but It is not entirely coupled UP
and fastened.
In half an hour more the job
would have been finished.

NOTICE TO FAT WOMEN.

Presumably you know, ladies', that
the proper caper noadays is lines.
Curves are passe. You have got to
take off your fat. This must be done
in one of three ways. BY dieting, by
exercise, or by means of Marmola
Prescription Tablets. The two former
will keep you busy for months and
punish you pretty severely, the latter
will cost you rs cents at the druggists.
The tablets will not make an altera-
ton in your diet necessary, and yet
in all probability, before you have
used up one case, you will be losing
from IL to 16 ounces of fat a day.
Which method do you like the best?
If you fancy this pleasant method
of getting off TIE fat. see your drug
gist instantly, or else write the Mar
mola Co., 379 Farmer Bldg, Detroit,
Mich, to send you case by mail.
These cases contain SO generous a
quantity of tablets that the treatment
is very econmical. It is, also. quite
harmless, for the tablets are made
exactly in accordance with the IA
nous Marmola Prescription.

In the opening game of the season.
Taking the game on its merits,
Keokuk had all the better of it in
every angle of the game, but as for
portraying the brilliant side of the
ultra modernized football, both teams
failed, The play for the most part
was loose and the big gains made
resulted from old style play and for
ward passes with the simple forma-
tions. Both teams were penalized
frequently for illegal playing in the
line and Fort Madison suffered severe

passes, most of the heaves going more

The brilliant end runs on hurry-up

yards from goal McManus displayed
his confidence by dropping back for
drop kick. He sent the pigskin true
to its mark between the goal posts
and the score sheet was darkened af-
ter five minutes of play. The early

Twice the visitors tried to penetrate

McManus shot a forward pass to
Davis who raced thirty yards on the
brilliant play. Feeling assured of the
pass, after this success, Keokuk re-
gotiated many of them during the
game. On the other hand Fort Madi-,
son worked this department without
success, the ball on nearly every oc-
casion being thrown blindly.
The cleverest pla..- of the game was
made by Keokuk, when in possession

long pass and tented as if to throw

down the field to Davis, who raced
for touchdown. None of the oppos-
ing tacklers got close enough to him
to neces sitate warding them off, but

MUSICAL COMEDY PLEAsEs.


There was good crowd present at
the performance of "The Time, the
Place and the Girl" at the kerredge
theater last night and the humor of the
dialogue, the cleverness of the story
the brillianey of the setting and cos
tunes, and the catchiness of the music
kept the gathering in constant ripple
of applause and laughter. Fred Mace
i'm the role of Happy Johnny HICKS
was immense. Elizabeth Goodall as
Molly Kelly the nurse, won strong
place in the hearts of the audience oy
her charm of manner and acting ana
Florence Smith and May Bouton ana
others and some very pleasing mum
bers, assisted by the chorus. the cast
was almost exactly the same as tne
one that was here year ago, ana au-
ded to their laurels previously gained
here. The chorus was capable and the
girls pretty, while the music was al
that kind that the audience goes nome
whistling.

All Of the Naval Militia Boats on the

The governments orders concerning
the naval maneuvers in which the
good ship Yantic of Hancock will par
ticipate, follow:
"The summer exercises of the naval
militia on the Great Lakes will take
place Aug. 8 to II, inclusive, and this
will require that the men of each or
ganization obtain sufficient additional
leave to enable them to arrive at the
place of rendezvous prior to and leave
after the completion of the cruise on
the dates shown above. The rendez-
vous will be at Thunder bay. (Alpena
Mich, and the cruise will be down the
lakes to Buffalo. N. Y. 1t has been
calculated that the cruise from Thun
der bay to Buffalo and return. main
tanning steady speed, will require
about six days; therefore, the neces-
slty for ten days, as outlined above,
Is apparent. as this period will allow
four days for liberty, anchorage and
drills. Any less period than this will
necessitate entirely remodeling the
cruise and II is requested that, IL pos
sible the organizations make provi-
sions for this amount of time"
