RUBBISH Pile
TAKES ON LIFE
Mrs. Grmsley's Heap Of Old House
hold Goods is Being Kicked
Against by City and
Attorneys.
| WHAT THEY SAY OF IT
Judge f. r. Hughes Serves Notice on
City That He will Take Action
If Same is Not
Removed.
WHAT THEY SAY OF IT

Something has begun to stir in the
pile of rubbish in front of the former
property of Mrs. Louisa Grimsley on
North Seventh street. For over two
weeks now, the heap of household
goods, antiquated and seventeenth
century dwelling house equipment
has lain, some of it in the gutter and
the rest on the grass plot outside OF
the walk.
This morning Attorney Felix T
Hughes filed notice with City Clerk
o. w. Sandberg that if the goods OF
Mrs. Grimsley were not removed
shortly, that action would be taken in
the matter.
Then this afternoon, the city replied
in a notice to both F. T. Hughes and
e. T. Bartruff, holders of the property
at Seventh and Morgan, to remove
the junk within three days. What the
outcome of it all will be is awaited
with interest by those concerned, as
it is now Roman against Roman
The body Of both notices filed read
as follows:

Two Important Indictments will be
Returned, One Against Abe An
derson and Other Against
Beatrice Keys.
MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE
That will in All Probability be Con-
tanned in the Indictment Against
the Slayer of Nose
Jordon.

The grand jury will make its report
about noon Saturday. Two indictments
Of Importance will be returned-one
against Abe Anderson and the other
against Beatrice Keys.
The grand jury probe into the An
derson murder charge will likely re-
suit in his Indictment for murder in
the first degree. Mrs. Anderson, wife
of the defendants brother, testified
before the grand jury that both men
were drunk at the time of their con-
flict, but it is said that this testimony
is not corrobrorated by other witness
es. She was the leading witness. but
could not testify as to the cause for
the quarrel, declared that their al
tercation was about nothing For
the reason that her testimony regard
ing the condition of the two men
stands without corroboration 1t is
likely that murder in the first degree
will be contained in the Indictment,
rather than murder in the second de-
gree or manslaughter.
Beatrice Keys. the colored woman
who shot William Carter. will be in
dicted for assault with intent to kill.
There will be several other indict-
ments containing minor charges.

question. and while they are talking
on this line they point to the fact that
four years ago he failed to carry con-
siderable portion of the liberal ele-
ment of his party and they ascribe this
failure to his own personal attitude on
this subject. Mr.. Bashor is carrying
on vigorous campaign and expects
a strong support at the primaries.
His friends say, that the efforts OF
the Sullivan-Rhinehart crowd
to down him in the interest of Porter
will certainly fail, for they say That
the democratic party of Iowa stands
for the brand of politics which is alb
solutely divorced from any hint of
bosssm or any suspicion of ring
rule.
They say. too, that the crowd of
politicians at Des Moines, who have
assumed to be the top-notchers in
Iowa democratic politics, have be-
come too much tainted with assistant
republicanism to be just the sort of
fellows to manage the present cam
paign. The fact that several thous-
ands of supposedly democratic poll
tician5 of the Capital city found their
names on the primary poll books I'M
der the republican party heading is
being urged by the friends of Mr..
Bashor as very suggestive, at least, of
their disloyalty to the democratic
party. These fellows ought not to
try too run things in the democratic
party SO soon after their conversion"
said prominent democrat from up
state the other day IF they We're re-
republicans at the primaries. last year,
it seems to us that they ought to wait
at least. another year after getting
back into the democratic fold before
they assume to dictate whom the
democrats shall elect as nominees"
This fact seems to be-" he contin-
ued that they We're republicans only
to help the progressives out and now
want to get back in order to vote for
Porter at the democratic primaries
and help down Basho~ who stands for
actual bona fide democratic doc
trines.'
These are some of the arguments
advanced in favor of the Waterloo
candidate and they seem to be taking
ones too

How to Keep Wicker Furniture Clean

One of the biggest troubles with
wicker furniture is to keep it look
ing clean and bright Once the dust
and dirt settle in the crevices of the
wicker-work, it looks dingy and shah
by. However, an easy way to restore
the brightness to this sort of fur
niture, is to wash the canework with
hot suds made by dissolving table
spoonful of Gold Dust washing
powder in pail of water Apply the
suds with sponge until the cane
is thoroughly soaked and leave in the
fresh air until dry. This is also a
good way to restore the color and
elasticity to cane-seated chairs.

Harrison's Mil is AbIaze and Entire
Destruction of Property will
Likely Result from the
confIagration.
FIREMEN FALL OFF ROOF
Tigue and Fisher Slip from Roof Of
Building, But Are Not Injured
Too Late for Many
Details.

keokuk is threatened with the most
disastrous fire of the year. This at.
ternoon fire started at Harrison's
box factory, situated shcrt distance
below the Cereal works, and the en-
tire mill was enveloped in flames.
The fire department. was called short.
ly after 8 O'clock and is fighting the
flames. Two lines Of hose have been
laid at some distance, and firemen are
valiantly fighting against a total de.
struction of the mill.
BY telephone The Gate City got in
communication and obtained an idea
Of the enormity Of the confiagration.
The fire ic supposed to have started
from a hot box in the cellar. The
draft carried tho flames all through
the building, and they spread wildly
to every nook and corner.
Fremen Tigue and Fisher Of the
Sixth street station, fell from the root
Of the mill. but were not seriously in.
Iured.
The building is of iron clad con-
struction and the heavy metal cover
ing retards the work Of the firemen in
getting at the blazing wood. A great
pile of lumber Immediately south Of
the building was reoently removed,
otherwise it would have caught and
the fire would have spread into the
lumber yard. seventy-fve per cent
of the value of the mill is covered by
insurance.
The flames could easily be seen
from housetops, throughout the city.
This plant was totally destroyed by
fire number Of years ago.
The loss cannot be estimated at this
late hour
