PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FIRES.

A man who believes that many fires
and much loss of life could be avoided
if people exercised more care in dis
posing of burnt matches and cigar and
cigarette stumps, is sending thousands
of postal cards through the mails bear
ing this plea:
Fire is a useful, but also danger
Gus element. Remember this when
you would throw a burnt-out match
into a paper basket or on the floor,
where an unseen spark might make
flame. Think of it when you throw
away your cigar or cigarette stump.
Prevent the fires that kill. A recep-
tacle for burnt matches is a more
valuable piece of furniture than a
rocking chair"
Most fires are due to carelessness
and could be avoided by observance
of ordinary precautions. It follows
that much of the immense fire loss is
wholly inexcusable. Any practical
movement looking to reduction of the
waste on this account merits en-
couragement.

Mr.. HUGHES At DAVENPORT.

When Mr.. D. L. Hughes OF this
city assumed the management of the
Grand opera house in Davenport The
Gate City predicted that he would give
that community fine line of attrac-
tions and demonstrate conclusively
his capabilities as theatrical man
ager. A paragraph in the latest num-
Der of the New York Dramatic News
tells of the confirmation of this fore
cast. Writing from Davenport under
date of January II correspondent
SAYS:
THE past season has made big
change In the amusement proposition
locally, the theatrical split having
brought about the opening OF the
Grand as frst-class house. and I'M
der the management of D. L. Hughes
it certainly has become favorlte with
the playgoers."
1t was foregone conclusion that
the attractions offered would include
some of the best, and 1t is gratifying
to learn that Mr.. Hughes efforts are
meeting with the recognition they
deserve.

The subtle power generated at Keo-

keted at Quincy, Hannibal and other
river towns as far south as st. Louis

Salem News: The Keokuk Gate
City got out an extra edition Satur-
day, rejoicing over the fact that the
work of building the big s14.500.00000
dam across the Father of Waters at
that city was to begin at once, the
necessary money having been SUBJ
scribed.
This, when completed, vii be the
second largest dam in the world and
can furnish power for Keokuk. st.
Louis, and all towns within a radius
OF fifty miles, which includes Salem
at a distance of about forty miles.
The construction OF the dam is ex-
pected to require about two years
time. and will give employment to a
thousand or more workmen
Keokuk certainly has reason to
rejoice over this immense achieve
ment which is the result OF about ten
years persistent effort, cvnauering
obstacles with grim determination
until finally the goal is practically
won.
The surrounding towns also re-
Joice with Keokuk because they viii
undoubtedly be placed in a position
to receive part of the benefits to be
derived from the enterprise.

The keokuk Dam and its Possibilitie

The keokuk Dam and Its Possibilities.
Pennington Republican,: 1t now
seems that the great dam across the
Father of Waters at Keokuk is an
assured fact. The possibilities of this
great undertaking and what it will
mean to Pennington almost staggers
the understanding, and yet we firmly
believe all these good things will ma
terialize. For us 1t will mean cleo.
trio lights at fraction of the pres
ent expense twenty-four hours in the
day; it will mean the best and clean
est power on earth for our factories
by the simple turning of switch; it
means interurban lines through this
section of the country when Farming
ton people can go and come in any
direction without taking hotel bills
and changes of linen into considera-
ton. 1t will mean the revolutionizing
OF old methods and placing us in the
front rank of the march of progress.
With the headquarters of this i'm
mense power plant but thirty miles
away all things are possible for our
beautiful home town. The Keokuk pa
pers are iubilant over the prospects
now in sight, as well they may be, and
we feel like joining in the chorus even
If our voice is a little weak in spots.
Anyhos, there is one thing certain.
and that is We are going to prolt
wonderfully by the building of the
Keokuk dam, and in anticipation of
this we hereby skin back every mean
thing We ever said about the Lee
county metropolis.
