SIX St. Louis Men Stop on Their
Way From Head Waters to Homo
Trip Being Made
in Canoes.
THE H1KERs ARRIVE
The Muscatine Hikers Arrive at End
Of Their Trip and Are View.
ing the City
Today.


Two parties OF excursionists both par.
tles coming by somewhat unusual
MODES OF travel, on pleasure bent. AL
lhough their means of travel required
more exercise than could possibly be
found on boat or railway trip. both
parties declared that they would not
change for any less strenuous mode of
| travel
ne nrst party to arrive were using
the river as right of way and canoes
as carriers. Six st. Louis young men
have been spending the greater part
OF the summer at a camp at Mercer,
wisconsin, where they found the out
door lie so pleasant that they were
loath to give it up and as means of
prolonging it to the last minute they
decided to go home in their canoes
down the big river. They arrived in
keokuk from the north yesterday and
after stop continued on down the
big stream. They expect to be in st.
Louis Saturday.
In the party was S. w. Lincoln, cap
tain of this years foot ball team of
Soldale High school and A o. Kelly
coach of athletics in the same school,
q. A. Sutherland, A. T. Sihler, e. K.
Dixon and J. c. Lincoln of st. Louis
University All of the party were
covered with heavy coating of. tan,
obtainable only by close association
with nature, and muscle development
that will make foot ball oppoE ents
think they are playing under the old
time foot ball rules. Two canoes were
used, each man padding one day at
a time and resting for half day.
Camp was made at each stop and all
meals are cooked on the river bank.
Some little difficulty was experience
cause of the low stage and many miles
were traversed with the men carrying
! the canoes over the rocks and rapids.
Only one serious upset had been ex-
perienced in the trip to Keokuk al
though rocks were run onto several
times, necessitating repairs to the
canoes. The men were delighted with
their trip and have experienced many
startling experiences. They were
dressed in heavy clothes without any
attention being paved to appearances.
Several times they narrowly missed
arrest as band of desperate river
pirates.
Muscatine Hikers Arrive.
Tho fol1r hikars from tho MuScatina
TX M. c. A. arrived in the city last
evening at the end of their trip, and
are spending the day in Keokuk. They
will leave for Muscatine this evening
Fred Abbott, LLOYD Wells, and Paul
Kent, under the direction of Physical
Director o E. Johnson, left Muscatine
last Thursday, and with the arrival in
Keokuk, have tramped about 140 miles.
They stopped at all points of interest
on the way down, going out of d.
rect line to places of interest. At
Mt. Pleasant they went through the
state insane asylum and through Iowa
Wesleyan college, and at Fl. Madison
visited the penitentiary. At the cit
les visited between, they visited all
the points of interest.
Physical Director Johnson stated
that the hiking trips had all the fea-
lures of camp. as they camped on
the way and prepared their food with
the added attraction and advantage
of seeing and learning something new
each day.

Commissioners Are Not Neglectins
Oakland in Their Work Of
Repair and Build
ing Up.
WILL HAVE A NEW ROAD
Different Route is Proposed to Get to
Cemetery for Next Year Than
the One Now in
Use.

Oakland cemtery, Keokul1's great
white city of the dead, has not been
neglected in the civic improvements
which have been going on since the
ushering into office of the commits.
sion officials. Not this year but next,
the commissioners are going to put
through to the cemetery, one of the
finest streets to be found anywhere
Is the word from the city offices to-
day, and statement cleaned from
drive over parts of Koekuk with
councilman this morning.
This new avenue, leading to one
of the most beautiful cemeteries OF
the middle west, will be from Main
street on Fifteenth to Carroll, thence
out Carroll to Oakland gates. At the
present time the usual route used as
thoroughfare for funeral cortege,
leads out Twelfth Street to Des
Moines, Des Moines to Fifteenth and
then over to Carroll. The Fifteenth
street way will look much better
when completed some time next
spring-summer at the latest.
The expense of this new and better
route to the burial grounds will be
only minor matter when the good
the paved thoroughfare will do, is TAX
en- into consideration.
Seventeenth street residents are
asking the council to open up Seven
teenth street from Timea to the
gates at Oakland cemetery. mis-
proposition Is not given any great
amount of consideration by the city
heads however as there are not
enough property owners along Sew
enteenth street on the south side to
warrant a general fixing up of that
thoroughfare.
Fixing Cemetery Roads.
The avenue and driveways through
out the cemetery were never in bet
ter condition than they are at the
present time. This spring several OF
the drives were repaired, rock screen
ings being used on them and general
repair work done at all times on the
roads in Oakland.
Workmen are busy today and have
been since a week ago Friday, put
ting in large fifteen or twenty foot
gutter back or the national cemetery.
A new thirty-inch tile sewer will al
so be used in connecting another in
let to the larger gutter around which
a stone wall five feet high is being
built.

Light summer clothes are m

Light summer clothes are more easily
damaged than winter fabrics That is good
and sufficient reason why they should be
washed with Fels-Naptha in cold or luke
warm water.
In washing with Fels-Naptha there is
no boiling or cooking to weaken the deli
cate hbres, no hard-rubbing to fray them,
no injurious chemicals to eat holes in them.
But there are other reasons. 1t is far
easier on the woman who does the wash
ing. There is no hard-rubbing, no blister
ing fire, no scalding suds to steam the face
and redden the hands.
Fels-Naptha soap does its work best in
cold or lukewarm water, dissolving the
dirt 50 it can be washed away with simple
rinsing. Sounds easy and comfortable,
doesn't it? And it is just as easy and com
Portable as it sounds if you use Fels-Naptha

Dunbar and Hewitt were seen prowl-

department store last night, but
nothing was thought of 1t by the EN-.
ployes of the place. Mr.. Conner was
called from his home about quarter
to midnight and with the officers,
searched through the building to find
what had been taken. The discovery
that the bolts of dress goods were
taken, was not made until after eight
o'clock this morning, however. The
lock from the door leading from the
cellar to the main floor of the de
partment store was broken off and

The police and T. N. Conner. manag.

thoroughly convinced that there was
third party to the robbery last
night as nothing was found of the
heatherbloom and satines that were
taken. It is possible that there were
more than three, as a third man
would have been unable to carry away
