particular attention to batting. Through
long tedious work he has finally develop

about three fairly good pitchers. Two
games OF three innings each have been
played by the scrub and varsity and the
latter has won both games by small
margin. Knopf. Jo1s. Cam and Raughley

II i've uuuuTSu uSu were az WORN lO-
day for the Keokuk and Hamilton
Water Power Company-the largest
force since work opened up early in
the spring.
~. p. Allen two newspaper reporters
visited the scenes of work on both
the Illinois and Iowa sides and found
that marked progress had been made
during the present month. The trip
was made early this morning and was
begun shortly after the men had en-
tered upon their daily toll.
While in q general way the manner
in which the preliminary construc-
ton work has been gotten under way
is interesting to the casual visitor to
the Illinois side he is more inclined to
have pointed out to him just where
the dam is going to cross the river
and what advances in its construc-
ton have been made.
1 Already the east abutment has been
almost completed The dam will be
| thirty-seven feet wide, but the abut-
ment is OILY about one-half of that
dimension. 1t extends for possibly a
! hundred seet or more and from there
1 will conncct with the dam proper. A
great deal of the excavation has been
done for the dam as it will extend
from the east line to the river At the
water edge at the present time the
men are working, preparatory to put
4 ting in concrete there. This is being
done by the company while the riv-
er is at it's present low stage to OBJ
viate the necessity of building Golfer
dams. This work on the construction
of the dam on the Illinois shore has
been started at the east terminus and
the rivers edge, comprising length
of about one thousand feet.
i The company has about completed
its construction of buildings on the
i Illinois shore. One cluster consists OF
the machine shop, blacksmith shop,
carpenter shop and warehouse
These structures are situated short
distance to the south of the dam. Up
on the Hill is the company's new of
fee, which is being occupied this
week. Next to it is an office that will
be fitted for the company's physician,
which will contain an operating
table and other necessary equipment
4 Adjoining will be the chemists room
in which the cement will be tested.
With nearly four hundred men at
work there has been need for adj
ditional bunk houses. These have
/ been built up on the hill.
On the Iowa side one hundred and
! fifty men are at work. The work be.

Some OF the more coDgested dis
tric;s along the Southern Railway
will be relieved by gasolene cleo
trio cars which will be operated in
place Of old steam trains. During
the month the steam passenger
service In the Greenyille territory
will be replaced with the regular

Some time ago the Southern

duced By the GENERAL Electric
Company and this experiment has
proven 50 successful that num-

short line service.
The gas-electric car is virtually
a power station and an electric
car in one with space set aside
for baggage. fn the front end is
located a powerful gasolene engine
which drives An electric generator.
The electricity generated in this
way is used TO drive the electric
motors beneath the car. The car
is opereted with a simple con-
troller handled with all the ease
ard convenience Of the common
street car. 1t can be stopped,
slowed down. accelerated or re-

type is capable Of making a large

How a Circus Helps Business
With Local Stores.

That it does local merchats some
good to have a big circus like the
John Robinson Shows to come to
town is amply evidenced by the
large contracts made by local deal
ers. 1t takes money to run a great
show, and it takes a vast amount
of material to feed the employees
and animals.
Circus people live well, and only
the best of everything is used in
the commissary department. That
big show leaves liberal lump of
money in a city at times is evid-
ent from the con tracts made here

moth order of 1000 pounds was
given. From an equally well
known grocery house $500 worth
of groceries was contracted. Two
hundred and fifty pairs of shoes
were added to the commissary wa
goa, three carcasses of beef came
from local butcher, as we'll as 800
pounds of animal meat. An order
of 1925 alone went to one butcher.
Several hundred loaves of bread
feed the hangry maws of the cir
Gus people daily, and these, too,
come from local dealers. Seventy
five quarts of milk from the dair-
les. Eight tons of hay, enc hund-
red and fifty bushels of oats, two
tons of straw, and a host of other
necessaries were purchased in this
city. All told nearly $4,000 will
be left here as a result of the adj
vent of the John Robinson Shows.
Eight hundred dollars per day in
railroad fares is paid by the circus
people. One of the business men
in connection with the show is Pet

charge of the feeding of the null

for the hundreds of hungry mouths.
