MEETING THIS WEEK

The motor boat men, and launch
owners of the city, want an arc lamp
placed conveniently in that section of
the river front where the boat houses
are located. For two years the boat
owners have been hammering as well
as boosting for lamp of this kind,
to throw it's kindly beams out over
the water at nights while the boating
season is on, and to aid in their reach
ing home in safety on dark evenings
when tho moon isn't up, SO that a
landing and housing can be made
without danger, to life or craft.
Some time this week or next if
possible, there will be meeting Of
the Keokuk Motor Boat club. At that
time plans for the coming year will
be discussed, and the matter of river
front improvements, which have be.
come a chestnut from much conversa-
ton about them, but are nevertheless
sorely needed, will come in for their
full share of attention at the gath.
ering.
placing a light and making other need
ed river front improvements, was the
request made by the motor boat club
to the city council. 1t that time, it
was stated that taxes were already
high enough and the ready cash would
not permit action along that line for
some time.
With the coming of spring, the
owners of this city's pleasure craft, in
tend to look into the opinions of the
prospective candidates and get their
views on general leyee and river front
improvements. When the candidates
for commissioners have given express
sion of their views, the motoring
crowd will know better where they
stand and if they will have to be
without a lighted river front for an
other summer season.

WHY sALvEs FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA

Scientists are now agreed that the
eczema germs are lodged not in the
outer skin or epidermis, but in the
inner skin. Hence, penetrating
liquid is required, not an outward
salve that clogs the pores.
We recommend to all eczema
patients the standard prescription Oil
of Wintergreen as compounded in
liquid form known as d. d. D. Pre-
scription. A trial bottle of this d. d.
D. Prescription, at only % cents, will
instantly relieve the itch. We have

for years, and know OF wonderful
cures from it's use. We recommend
it to our patrons.

AMATEURS

N. A. King, Who is an Officer Of the

of City in Bowling
Tournament.
CANNOT TAKE PRIZES
Nor Can Money be Accepted by Them
in Doubles Being Conducted
on Olympia Alleys Dur
ing This Week.
CANNOT TAKE PRIZES

In order that their amateur stand
ing may not be impaired on the eve
OF what promises to be the most sue.
cessful season in amateur baseball in
the city, President N. A. King of the
Commercial league, who is also an Of
ficer in the A. L. n. A. and has iuris-
diction over this territory, has issued
a warning TO local bowlers who have
been competing in the doubles Oh the
olympia this week, in which is en-
bodied the rules of the amateur as
ISOLATION. He says that accepting
money or prizes of any nature by
those who are registered in the A. A..
U. or A. l.. N. A. will make them pro-
fessionals, for the contest in an open
one in which registered and non-reg-
istered men alike are competing.
Amateur baseball players who expect
to cavort on tie diamond during the
coming season have taken the warn
ing seriously and 1t is not likely that
any registered man will accept money
OF prize in the event that he should
win
According to the rules of the A. L..
N. A. an athlete has forfeited his
right to compete as an amateur, and
has thereby become a professional by
ta) Ever having competed in an
open athletic Or gymnastic competitor;
that is, competition. the entries to
which are open to all irrespective as
to whether the competitors are anna
teurs or professionals, and whether
such competition be for prize or not.
OBJ Ever having competed for mon
ey in any athletic or gymnastic exer-
else.
(c) Ever having competed under a
false name in any athletic or gym
nastic exercise.
(d) Ever having knowingly compel
ed with professional for prize, or
with professional where gate mon
ey is charged in any athletic or gym
nastic exercise.
(e) Ever having pursued as means
of livelihood at athletic or gymnastic
exercise.
(f) Ever having directly Or Indirect
ly sold prize.
(g) Directly or indirectly received
payment for services rendered in any
capacity at any professional exhibit
or contest of any athletic or gymnastic
exercise whatsoever.
Local athletes are not altogether
familiar with the amateur rules. How
ever, it may be stated that there is
one condition in which prize may
be accepted, that being when all men
entered are registered. Such is not
the case in the present bowling tourn-
ament. President King is of the opin-
ion that those who have bowled have
not impaired their standing, if they
in case of victory do not accept
money or prize. 1t is believed that
local amateurs will observe the rules
in this instance, as the stakes will be
small

1t will not be long before his desire

contention that the county owed him

claims for IS. 400 are for work performed
by Drum during his term as county
