E. M. INGERSOLL
PLEADS NOT GUILTY
He is Not the Pioneer Whom Wash
ington GalIand Tries to
Discredit.

To the Editor Of The Gate City:
want the readers of The Gate
City to know that the Mr.. Ingersoll
whose statements are denied by Capt.
Galland is not e. M Ingerson of Keo.
kuk, but an older brother who has
lived in Villisca for over thirty years.
In the article written by a report
er about w. H. Ingersoll he does
not say that he was born in 1886. He
says he came to Iowa in that year.
He does not claim to remember any
thing that occurred during the Black.
hawk war He does not mention
Montrose nor any fort at that place.
He does not mention Fort Des
Monies except to say that he was
there as freighter in 1853 that was
Ft. Des Moines up at Raccoon forks,
now the capital of the state. He does
not claim a long time residence in
Lee county.
Capt. Galland denies lot of state
ments not made by w. H. Ingersoll
nor anyone else as far as know.
Capt. Galland evidently never read
what Mr.. 1ngersoll really did say. w.
H. Ingersoll is mistaken about being
the Oldest settler now living in Iowa.
There are others besides those men
toned by Capt. Galland. l think the
honor of being the oldest settler in
Iowa, now living, is not worth quar-
reling about. A great many wiser and
better men than any of us superanuat-
ed old fogies, came later, and have
done more toward making the coun-
try what it is today than any of us
have ever done.

kEOKUk BEATS
REST OF iowa
In the Economics Of Its Public liz
brary Which Gives the Most and
for the Lowest Tax
o NE-FOURTH EXPENSE
Circulation of Books by the keokuk
Library is Constantly Increas-
ing With Adults and
Children.
ONE-FOURTH EXPENSE

That Keokuk gets more out of it's
public library on a lower tax rate
than other Iowa cities was one of the
Things brought out at the recent meet
Ing of the state library association at
Davenport.
AT the regular meeting of the Keo.
kuk library trustees last evening,
Hon. John E. Craig reported for the
heokuk delegation to the state meet
ing. The statistics show that Keokuk
has large library in ratio to it's
population, and that the public uses
the library here more than in any
otner city in Iowa except Iowa City,
the seat of the state university.
Yet the tax rate in Keokuk for
library purposes is the lowest and is
only one-fourth the tax rate in many
Iowa cities. The normal appropria-
ton for the library by the city coun-
Gil is So 900 here. This year the
commissioners cut it to $4,000, in ac-
cordance with their program of less
ening expenditures, but promised to
even things to the norm by making it
$4,000 next year. This compels the
library board to skimp this year, but
1t will get back to the normal next
year-and even then it will spend less
money than the boards of other Iowa
cities.
There is a steady increase in books
taken out of the Keokuk library over
the previous year. The report of the
librarian last evening showed 1850
taken over the counter during the
third quarter of this year, which
months of July, August and Septem-
Der are always the period of least
use of library books. This is a con-
siderable increase over the figures for
the same quarter of last year. OF
these books, 9,197 were taken out by
children who are using the library
to a great extent.
In addition to these books taken
from the library, there are always a
large number of people, including
many children reading in the library
rooms. The library is specially rich
in works of reference, and it has a
practically complete list of current
magazines and periodicals of all kinds.

WIFE SHOOTER
NOT YET FOUND
Commodore Evans of Quincy Has
Left State, is Belief of
Authorities.

Commodore Evans, who shot his
wife three times while in fit of des-
peration, Wednesday night, at Quin-
cy, has made good his esacpe thus
far, and it is thought by the police
that he has left the state. Where
he has gone is of course problemat-
ical, but from what can be learned it
is thought he went from Quincy to
Hannibal on the X line, shortly after
the shooting.
On the night of the shooting the
police found that he had checked two
bash, and they made a thorough
search of the trains which leave the
local station at 9:05 and at II O'Clock
p. m. AS the shooting occurred be-
tween 8 and O'Clock the officers did
not think he could reach the Burling-
ton station in time to catch the "K''
line train and did not search it, Now
it is thought he was on the train and
went to Hannibal. He has been trac-
ed to the Burlington depot, to which

Fifty-one were law and chancery

everything done must be recorded, in

DR.. Herbert L. Flint.

Dr. Herbert l.. Flint is scientist
of enviable position in the profess
sional world, aside from his reputa-
ton as the prince of laugh makers.
He is a graduate physician and is
therefore well versed in physiology
as well as PHYSIOLOGY. Several books
on hypnotism have been issued from
his pen, and the magazine and news
paper stories that he has written
with hypnotic truths as their founda-
ton have met with wide favor. A
deep observer of men and things. he
has a knowledge of human nature
that is possessed by few men, and
these observations have been of ma
terial aid to him in the battle that
has waged for thirty-three years
against ignorance and superstition.
His straightforward truthfufness in
the realms of the occult, his refusal
to adopt the methods of the charla-
tan even when it would have meant
financial profit to him, and his high
devotion to ideals have done much to
give to hypnotisn the place that it
now occupies among the recognized
and honored sciences. The doctor
closes a successful engagement at
the Grand Saturday night.

UTAH BEES ALL BUSY
Apiarists Report That Big Honey
Output is Certain This
Year.

Utah's honey crop this year will be
a good one, to judge from reports re-
ceived yesterday from bee men at
meeting of the Utah Bee Keepers as
ISOLATION held in the city council cham
Der. The meeting was an informal one
and nothing was done further than TO
discuss the prospects for good out
put this year.
President e. S. Lovesy asked for re-
ports from the bee men. ana in nearly
every instance ii was stated that the
crop will be far better than in any re-
cent year. Bees wintered well and
have been about their work for weeks
since the break of the long, cold win
ter. owing to the quantity OF snow
during the winter and the rains this

CHARTERS ARE FORFEIT
Governor Will Publish List of Cor
poratiOns Delinquent in State
Tax.

More than 225 corporations of Utah
paid their license tax Monday, and to-
day Governor William Spry will issue
a proclamation declaring the charters
of all others forfeited. Monday was the
last day of grace for the corporations
which had not yet paid their corpora
ton tax, and the receipts of the secre-
tary of states Office amounted to ST, SOC
for the licenses.
Out of the $4,000 corporations which
have been upon the books of the state
in the past, about 5000 have failed to
pay the tax, and these viii forfeit THEN
charter. The whole list was recently
advertised as delinquent, and each one
was forced to pay penalty of $40, in
addition TO the regular tax, and an adj
diTiOnal $1.25 for advertising.
Any corporation still delinquent will
have to apply to Governor Spry for re-
instatement before July 1, 1910, as after
that date there viii be no opportunity
to revive the old charter of the COM
pany.

LAW TANGLE OVER AUTO
Suits and Counter Suits Brought, but
Sale of Machine is Re-
strained.

NJ. e. Smith, Samuel Davidson and
the Columbus Buggy company yester-
day filed suit IN the district court
against n. w. Sonnedecker and the
Consolidated Wagon & Machine COM
pany, and obtained a temporary re-
straining order against SOnnedecker to
keep him from selling an automobile
which was purchased more than a year
ago, and upon which he claims to hold
a lien for $3.50. On April 1, 1908, an
electric automobile vas purchased by
NJ. e. Smith from the wagon and ma
chine company and stored with the
Borkman Electric company. which later
assigned to Sonnedecker.
On February 1, 1909, it is claimed, the
contract was rescinded for the pur-
chase of the machine, on the claim that
the car has not proved satisfactory.
Samuel Davidson, who sold the car,
was notified of the resembling Of the
contract, and was told that it was at
the Borkman shop. IT was left there,
however, and rental was allowed to ac-
cumulate to the amount OF $3.50 up to
April l, 1910. 1t is claimed, however,
that the car was practically dismantled
while In the Borkman shop, at a dam
age of $500.
Suit has been brought against Da-
wilson and the Consolidated Wagon &
Machine company to collect the pur-
chase price Of the machine. Sonnedeck-
er advertised the automobile for sale
to pay the lien OF $3.50 on the car, and
the sale would have been made yester-
day If the restraining order had not
been issued. The hearing on the re-
straining order viii come I'D at once in

DESERT LAND DECISION
BENEFITS ENTRYMEN
Cultivation of 0ne-Eighth of Hold
ings Sufficient to Prove
Up On.

Notice of the decision by r. H. Bal
linger, secretary Of the interior, allow
ing settlers to prove up on desert
cleans by showing that one-eighth of
the acreage has been brought under
cultivation, was received at the local
land Office yesterday. 1t is said very
few settlers in this region will be af-
fected by it.
The ruling reverses a decision by the
commissioner of the general land office,
which held that settlers must have all
acreage on their claims under cultiva-
ton before proving up.
The reversal arose over the case of
Alonzo B. Cole, who made a desert land
entry near Durango, Colo, March /,
1906. Final proof was submitted May
8, 1908, ana the final certificate issued
five days later. By the decision Of the
commissioner of the general land Office
on November %, 1908, Cole was required
to show that he had actually irrigated
and reclaimed all of the irrigable land
covered by his entry. Cole appealed
to the department of the Interior and
the commissioners decision was af-
firmed b. departmental decree of June
8, 1909. Upon motion for a review of
the decision, First Assistant Secretary
Pierce reversed the former decision.
Following is the crux of his decision,
which is now the prevailing rule:
Where final proof submitted upon a
desert land entry shows that the entry
man has cultivated and irrigated at
least one-eighth of the land, and has
constructed bitches, owns a sufficient
water right, has brought water to the
land and is prepared to turn water upon
the entire tract when It shall have been
