P. j. kieran is in Nauvoo and Declares
That Money Of English Capt.
talists is Back of
Project.
THE REPRESENTATIVES
Messrs. Glazebrook and Stevenson
Have Been Appointed Trustees
for Funds-Details Being
Worked Out.

The people of Nauvoo are looking
up little bit as a result of the pres
ent visit of P. j. Kieran. 1t is said
that the interurban line has been
financed by English capital and will
be built as soon as details are worked
out The Independent says:
p ]. Kieran is still pegging away at
the interurban proposition. In fact
he never had given up the idea of
having the road built.
Mr.. Kieran is in the city at present,
accompanied by A. J. Glazebrook of
Toronto, Canada, and Hon. E. G.
Stevenson, of Detroit, Mich The
Independent asked Mr.. Kieran for
some news last evening, when he re
ferred us to Mr.. Glazebrook.
In conversation with the latter he
informed us that he and Mr.. Kieran
had been to England this spring and
succeeded in getting the Carthage
Nauvoo-Ft Madison interurban propo-
sition financed The actual money
| has been secured, and he (Mr. Glaze
brook and Mr.. Stevenson have been
appointed trustees of the funds, OF
managers for the English syndicate in
| this matter.
Mr. Glazebrook stated that they
are ready to begin work on the line
| just as soon as some necessary pre-
| liminaries and details are attended to-
To be sure the right of way and fran
chises will have to be secured again
| but they expect no trouble in this re
spect. Of course they expect the
people to show a proper spirit in these
as we'll as other matters in connec
| ton with the undertaking.
They say that the road will be built
but it is not absolutely positive thai
4 the old route will not be somewhat
changed
The gentlemen expect to meet some
of Carriages leading citizens ant
other men here today and the whole
matter will be gone over.
1t is probable the people along the
i route will be given an opportunity tc
take some of the securities in order te
show local interest.
The Independent will probably
have more trolley news to give to its

FOR YOUNG Man
William Jaoob Frank, a Brilliant
Young Citizen, Died Early This
Morning at His
Residence.
NERVOUS PRosTRAT1oN
Had Been III Since Last November,
and Death Comes as Sad shock
to Relatives and Many
Friends.


Keokuk is sorrowing today over the
death of one of its younger citizens,
William Jacob Frank, who passed
away shortly after midnight at his
residence, 22O Blondeau street. Word
of his demise caused a sad shock
among hundreds of friends of the
family of the deceased in this city to.
day and though it was known that Mr..
Frank had been i'll for number Of
months, every hope for his complete
recovery was entertained by the mem
bers of the grief stricken relatives.
Last November, the deceased was
taken i'll with severe case. of la
grippe and 1t became necessary for
him to resign from his business duties
for two months. After having recup-
Grated in health he again assumed
more active life but a short time ago
was again forced to refrain from his
work and his passing today is direct
ly the result of nervous prostration
which developed during the long
siege of illness.
Mr. Frank had been confined to his
bed since last Friday and during the
past four days his condition had be-
come rapidly weakened. Much sorrow
has been caused by his death, and his
passing is extremely sad because of
the young manhood into which he had
entered has been taken away.

Attracted by Advertisement.

ATTRACTED by AONSIttSCItlCHt.
Mrs. Seibel was first attracted to
Madame Davey because OF newspa-
per advertisement, which pictured In
glowing terms the wonderful cures
the healer" had accomplished. Mrs.
Seibel fell an easy victim and was not
slow in calling upon the wonderful
woman, who was working miracles
without number.
The Davey woman is represented
as saying to Mrs. Seibel that it would
be possible to effect cure in her
case. Before the healer" committed
herself, however, she worked upon the
superstitions of her victim until she
had her completely under her infiu-
ence, willing to do her every bidding.
Before it would be possible to work
the charm which would result in last
ing benefit to the woman who was
afflicted. it would be necessary for
her to show the great healer" that
she was possessed of jewels of great
value. The carat and one-half spark
lers looked mighty good to Madame
Davey, so she set about to become
possessed of them.

Puf Jewels in Box.


Mrs. Seibel almost distracted and
willing to do anything, if there was
fighting chance to be cured, con-
sented to place the jewels in the
box The healer" said few mystic
words, made several mysterious signs,
then handed box back, which Mrs.
Seibel laid away in accordance with
directions.
Two days later, after thinking mat
tiers over, she decided she would take a
peep at the jewels she admired so
highly. In the box that she opened
were two peppermint lozenges, the
diamonds gone. Inquiry showed that
the Davey woman had disappeared as
we'll. She had switched boxes as
cleverly as any of the old-time green
goods men, and made good her escape
with the spoils.

How the schemer Planned.

With all the cunning of the WOO
doo'' doctor, the madame played upon
the superstitions of her patient, and
soon convinced her that it,'would be
only question of few short
days until the relief she chad tried
in vain for years to obtain would be
hers.
But in order that the spell might
work exactly as it should, the two
jewels must be placed in a little card
board box, the box must be sealed and
not opened for seven days. These
directions must be followed or there
would be awful consequences to the
one who disobeyed the admonitions of
the sorceress.

The Elixir of Life"

hard work he has solved the vexed
problem Of prolonging human life, no

but the doctor talks like he isn't

We think it was this same surgeon
who last year announced that he felt
sure he had discovered the elixir of
life, whereupon some Kansas indi-
vidual who had just finished harvest
sng his corn crop and didn't have any
thing else to do, voluntarily proposed
to the doctor to die a few minutes for
him. If the man OF medicine sue

RECALLS INCIDENT IN

Editor Pensacola Journal.
The recent death of Mark Twain"
reminds me of an incident. In the
early part of 1857 l took passage
from st. Louis to jefferson City, Mo,
then the terminus of the Pacific rail-
road, on the Alonzo Child. a big side
wheel boat, Capt. DeHayen. This was
the boat that Mark Twain served on
with his first pilots license a year or
so later. Leaving the AlOnzo Child
| at midnight l went on board an up
per Missouri boat called the Plat
Valley for Kansas City. Here I left
her. Kansas City at mouth OF the
KaW river then had about 500 people
and ore street, buildings low one
story frame bar rooms and gambling
houses. Continuing up river one
day or two, got to LeavnWorth. only
about fifty miles. Leayenworth, like
Kansas City, one straight street out

about 500 residents and droves Of
cowboys, teamsters and idlers. Here
was headquarters of the freight con

river was Fort Leavenworth. then

lars a small reservation then, to the

err at the camp. Here in big rail pen
were numbers of unbroken cattle
fresh from the plains. We green
horns were kept busy in this pen for
several days yoking up these cattle
and getting them in the yoke to
work to the wagon. After two weeks
of this work fully described in

by the wagon master to make final

oxen and only the wagon master and
assistant road their animals. We
were bound for Laramie in Wyoming
to the Fort walk of about 900
miles. But to return to my incident
l started to tell. In 1852 ! was on
furlCugh from Virginia and in Column

the war ran the buchanan cotton
press at Apalachicoia. Capt. White
sides told me he had orders from
Richmond to go to Yazoo City and
take out the engines of the steam
boat Alonzo Child and have them
shipped to Selma, Ala. In the fall
of 1852 Sam Whitesides had me de
tailed for three months to work on
the ram then building on the bluff
at Selma. The engines of the Alonzo
Child were received in Selma and L
