Her name is Grice, 1t is understood.
The groom. who wouldn't 'fess up to
what his cognomen is, is man three

The couple were advised to go &c
Missouri to wed, but the mule state

1t was also during the cross-examin-

er sought to show that liquor was be

the closing hour of ten o'clock, but
the questions were ruled out by the
court as being irrelevant, and incom-
petent.
The second witness to take the
stand was Charles Jones, night clerk.
He stated that Warner came to him
during the evening and asked when

Officer Sheppard said that he was
called to the Grand hotel shortly af-
ter II o'clock and found Nels Warner
at the head of the stairs. The officer
testified to taking him as far as Fifth

had been fired down stairs. He told
of the examination in the parlor that
followed, describing the situation of
the piano through which the bullet
crashed, and the position of Mr. San
ders, with relation to the direction
from which the bullet came. 1t seems
as though the glass front on the
piano. just above the keyboard, de
flected the bullet from its natural
course, causing it to fatten against
the brick wall of the room The
bullet was found. according to the wit
ness, in one corner of the room. The
piece Of metal offered by the prosecu-
ton was identified. Mr.. Hollingsworth
declared that 1t looked as though the
bullet was meant for Mr. Sanders.

On the BoueIvard.

Commencing on Belknap Boulevard,

the north side of Rand Park, the first
work was commenced. A crown eigh-

here it is leveled off eighteen inches

Yesterday morning with Commits

any municipality in this section of
the country can boast Of. In recon-
mending recreation to the readers of
the paper this morning, the same iden-
tical spin in an auto, chaise or on

Within the past three weeks one of
the most enormous changes in road
conditions, streets leading into Keo-
kuk and suburban to this hustling
town, has been wrought Four men,

What 1t Costs.
The cost of putting these highways
that lead to Keokuk in good and pass
able conditions is surprisingly low.
Fourteen dollars per day is what must
be paid out to the men who do the
work of grading, that completing the
entire pay roll for the ten working
hours. In the three weeks that have
been spent at this, more than six
miles of roads that We're in bad con-
dition, especially in wet weather, have
been made into some of the finest
drives in the country.
The action of Commissioner Schmidt
in commencing this crusade in Keo-
lluk is to be commended. Should one
visit South Fourteenth street and Six
teenth street, leading to the cooper
shop near the Hilton road the~ would
be surprised at the roads that a week
ago were nothing but gulles, rocks
and terror to owners of vehicles,
and now are smooth and comfortable.
Will Continue.
IT is to be hoped that the good work
will continue, and from Mr. Schmidt's
statement yesterday. it likely will as
there are three or four more weeks
of good weather left this season.
What it means to Keokuk this good
road movement and quiet improve

benefits it will bring, can not be en-
tirely forseen Just now, but will, in
time to come. The satisfaction it viii

An Exclamation.

Diphtheria developed last Thursday
morning in the home of Charles Derr
of Paris Twp, his little son being the
victim. The attending physician noti-
fled the secretary of the township
board of health before he left the
premises at IL o'clock a. m. and the
secretary served written notice on
the township clerk The not having
phone. The doctor also notified the
clerk in writing the same day. AS the
letter had to go via Elma and out on
the rural route, the quarantine was not
put up until Friday evening and the
boy had died Friday morning. The re-
mains were buried Friday afternoon by
The boys grandfather, John Derr. who
was assisted at the grave by his brother
Mike Derr, and the burial was done
according to orders and instructions
from the undertaken as provided in
such cases. On account of burying the
boy, both the John and Mike Derr
homes were guarantined as was also
the home of B. A. Ferrie who was not
near the house or helped with the
burial but with whom Chas. Derr rode
to Schley before his home was quaran-
tined. Later, the quarantine was re-
moved from those three homes as it
was held unlawful and unnecessary by
the board of health physician. We
publish these facts by request as the
release of these families from quaran-
tine has been criticised.
