Look to Big Factories.

The Commercial club believes that
big concerns can be looked to within
the next two years with the possibil-
ity of locating in Keokuk. During the
past the organization had little to off
er, in fact nothing, and it was neces-
sary to turn attention to smaller
plants. Now it is the universal belief
that the big fellows can be interested.
The fact that power will be cheap
will be the greatest inducement. Fac
tory sites will be the next, and money
the third consideration.
Already many letters have been re-
ceived asking for information concern

be induced to leave their present To-

NONSENSE IN YOUR SLEEP.
From the New York World.

FROM the New YORK world.
In a paper on the mechanism and in
depreciation Of dreams, read recently
before the neurological section of the
Academy Of Science, Morton Prince or
Boston stated that dreams are in real
ity psychoses, or types of delirium,
and are characterized by the same gen.
symptoms aside from disease. Mr..
Prince said he did not believe with
Freud that every dream represents the
fulfilment of q wish, but rather that II
represents the unfulfilment of a wish
or the fulfilment of fear.
One woman mentioned by him always
dreamed that she was surrounded by
myriad of cats, and she would usu-
ally awake when they seemed to be
attacking her or when she was thrown
helplessly among them. Under hyp-
notic influence 1t was found that In
early childhood this woman had been
greatly frightened by pet cat, which
had scratched and bitten her, and that
the memory Of this occasion, although
seemingly buried deep In the tumble
of past experiences, nevertheless had q
certain psychological coloring which
caused 1t to be resurrected only during
unconscious states
Such facts, he said, may explain In q
measure the curious and apparently
utterly illogical single words and state
ments coming from the lips of those
in delirium, but 1t will always be found
that, Just as in many hallucinatory
states of the insane, the mind Is work
ing at tremendous rate, much faster
| than the organs of speech can record
| the ideas, and hence what comes to oui
| ears from the dreamer Is simply q
mass of nonsensical words.

WHAT AUDIENCES DEMAND.

Only the tourist and residents abroad
know the foreigners, his customs and
his dress, but the tourist does not have
to make the play nor fill the eye and
ear of a people who demand character
as a bit of dash or color. Were an
italian Of the working class intro
duced into an American play he would
have to be a sly, creeping villain, with
knife concealed and a willingness
to be bribed, or the audience would
not accept him as an Italian.
If Spanish girl, she must wear a
bright colored skirt, a loose waist OF
contrasting color mantilla and carry
fan or cigaret.
If a French girl, she must be full
of lingerie, displaying kicks, have a
small waist, plenty of plumes, a de-
sire for admiration and wine and max
ing trouble, particularly in domestic
lines.
If an Englishman, he must have q
monocle; a dialect and a general APP
pearance of idiocy
And last, If Scotchman, the audi
ence demands that he shall be Pres

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear There 10
only one way to cure Deafness and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an infiamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is iniamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, aud
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
tion hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which Is nothing but an in6amed condition

This old fellow, as he sat on a tomb
In the churchyard, dismissed as triv-
ial the question Of his proper title.
THE good old creed keeps the same
for ALL" he said, though they may
change the words they use. Look at

Then we had a parson who called me

NEW HOTEL
PROPRIETOR
Landlord SChuet Sells
Hotel Property to
Varhaley & Co.

After Monday, May 23rd, Var
haley&Co. will be owners and man
ayers Of the Hotel Bilyeu.
The deal was this week consum-
mated whereby w. O. Schuett
disposes cf the Bilyeu Hotel
property, which he recently pur-
chased of j. S. Bilyeu, to Messrs.
Varhaley and Mankawski, both
of whom are recent arrivals from
Illinois, and possession is to be
given the first Of the week.
After making extensive improve
ments on the interior of the hotel
it was opened for business under
Mr.. Schuett's management on
April 7, since which time it has
extended the same service and
courtesies as are usually afforded
by a first class hotel, and while the
guests doubtless regret Mr..
Schuett's retirement from the bus
mess, suffice to say that they will
be equally as we'll pleased with
the new management who assure
us it is their aim to conduct the
hotel in the future as it has been
heretofore.

near future, but the many

do not anticipate leaving the city.

DRY FARM GARDEN METHODS
less Cultivation to Keep Sur
face Soil Moist.

The present method of dry farming
Is to plow the land year before any
crops are planted. The soil is broken
to considerable depth. Disk subsoil
plows break the soil and pack it into
firm bed, leaving sort of hardpan
through which water cannot seep
away. Moreover, this Well-backed sub
soil prevents the excessive salts that
lie four or five feet below the surface
from rising by evaporation, says The
Craftsman. These salts have been the
agencies for burning and blighting all
vegetation. The surface soil is then
pulverized and cultivated until it is
as fine as powder. This acts as a
mulch. The moisture cannot leak
through the hardpan, and the secret
Of the system then is to prevent its
evaporation
The principle is to work and till
the surface soil continually so that
like a wet sponge it can hold the mois-
ture. The work never stops on the
land, and after every rain the sur
face soil must be pulverized anew.
For a year the land is treated by
this endless process of cultivation
which always keeps the surface soil
moist and soft Then comes the seed
ing and more cultivation until the
plants occupy the land. The cultiva-
ton must continue until the plants
are large enough to act as their own
mulch. In the harvest season, the
crops are garnered, and Immediately
the plow and harrow are put in the
field again to prepare the land for the
next seasons crop. 1t is then allowed
to be fallow until seeding time.

same. The Chamber of Commerce
is in communication with cor

MUST ESTAB-
LISH ROADS
Wibaux People Are
Realizing Grave
Road Situation

A special meeting Of the bust
ness men was held on Wednesday
evening to discuss and formulate
plans for the establishment of new
and better roads leading into and
about Wibaux, and realizing that
the situation is each day growing
worse instead of better, it is hoped
that some practical method may
be adopted whereby immediate
action can be takeH although at
this meeting no definite plans were
made.
It is an established fact by ali
who have travelled through the
&C unry tributary to Wibaux that
many of the old and we'll estab-
lished roads have been broken up
or obstructed by fence on the line,
with the result that a new trail
would be established around it,
and in many cases the new route
would prove to be utterly impas-
sible, without bridges or other i'm
provements, and in the event that
the improvements were not made
the road would be abandoned.
Such practice as this is becoming
a common ti,ing-hence we are in
need Of more roads as we'll as i'm
proving what few we have. Many
who are closing up the old roads
seem to think that they are justi-
fed in doing SO simply by leaving
right of way along the section
line and in many cases the right
of way is impossible and fails to
connect with any highway that
the travelling public can use. Be-
