DR.. Edward Wootton.

The death Of Dr.. Wootton brings sense
of sadness and loss to many citizens Of our
county. By the force of his character, the
visor of his intellect. the warmth of his
friendship, and the benevolence of his heart,
he won place in the esteem and affection
OF the people, especially of those with whom
he came in daily contact. such as few men
attain to. As capable and resourceful
physician he established himself in the
confidence of all who knew him and became
their trusted counsellor In the trials and
business Of life. Enthusiastic and public
spirited by temperament, he entered with
wise zeal into all enterprises for the pro-
motion Of the interests Of his town, his
county and his State. and took an active
interest in politics without being corrupted
by the desire for Office.
His service in the General Assembly was
able and conscientious. and he stood in the
front rank of those with whom he served.
Never hasty in the formation of opinions,
always open to argument. and given to
mature reflection. his conclusions upon
public questions were sound and clean and
he fought for them with earnestness born
OF conviction-commandihe the respect Of
those who differed from him both on &C.
count of the sincerity of his motives and
the ability with which he labored for his
cause
He deserved well of his day and genera
ton. and the people whom he served and
loved will keep his memory Green.

FAVORABLE COMMENT
FROM THE EAST
Boston Scientists Paper Gives Our
Water Power the Leading Place
On Editorial Page.

The Christian Science Monitor of
Boston, in it's issue of January 15,
gives the Keokuk Water Power, the
first position on the editorial page, as
follows:
A great waterpower plant for the
purpose of generating electricity is to
be constructed at Keokuk, Iowa. The
power is to be obtained from dam
to beerected in the Mississippi 1t
is estimated that the electricity to be
produced will be available for power,
light and heat within radius of 200
miles. This will not be the first
great river electric plant in this
country, of course. but it promises to
be the first OF series that will work
wonders in the industrial history of
the river towns of the West The
success of the Keokuk undertaking
will mean the construction of similar
plants at other points on the Missi.
ssippi, the Missouri and the Ohio, and
the power thus generated should en-
able communities that are now handi-
capped by the scarcity and consequent
dearness OF fuel to transform the raw
products of the surrounding country
into finished articles.
Aside from this consideration, how
ever, the great power plants that may
be erected by those river cities will
be of tremendous benefit to them in
a municipal way. So well has Chi
cago realized the advanta to be de-
rived from waterpower that she has
spent millions in its development on
her drainage canal, while her influence
was mainly instrumental in securing
the Illinois s20,000,000 bond issue for
the development of power in comnec-
ton with the proposed ship canal.
1t is somewhat remarkable that the
populous cities on the Mississippi and
the Missouri have not made greater
progress in the development of the
waterpower at their doors The ex.
PLANTATION, perhaps, will be found in
the fact that owing to their youth and
growth they have been engrossed with
many other things that have seemed
to be more pressing. A very different
story has been told quite recently
with regard to the cities of contin.
entail Europe, which are developing
their available waterpower to such q
degree as to reduce greatly the cost
OF manufacturing merchandise and tc
increase greatly their advantages in
trade competition.
The work at Keokuk and its results
will be watched with great interest
throughout the Mississippi valley, ant
the next ten years will probably sec
the example followed in many in
stances.
