Local Option Bulletin

The Local Optionists believe in the right OF
the people to rule, and simply ask the question OF
licensing the liquor traffic in any community shall
be left to the voters of that community. The
issue to be decided at a special election under wise
and fair regulations.
Surely the voters should have the right under
our popular government to portect their homes ana
children from the ~blighting and blasting curse OF
the liquor traffic, and no judge or court or excise
commission should have authority to fasten this
traffic upon any community against the will OF the
majority of the voters.

 Mir King saw the court in all its ylory scattered along the shady Castle avenue-in carriages, Tn traps, in mo- tors and in the saddle. His brain whirled and his heart leaped under the pressure of new found interest in life.
 If Truxton King had given up in dis gust and fled to Vienna this tale would never have come to light. Instead of being the lively narrative of young gentleman's adventures in faraway Graustark, 1t might have become a tale of the smart set in New York, for, as you know, we are bound by tradition to follow the trail laid down by our hero, no matter which way he elects to fare.

 "Your grace" interrupted Baron iDangloss sharply.
 "Uncle Jacks all right" declared the prince, vaguely realizing that a de- fense should be forthcoming.
 He is, eh?" rasped the exasperated duke, mopping his brow.
 "He sure is," pronounced the prince with flnality that left no room for doubt.
 He is a mountebank, meddler, that's what he ism exclaimed the over heated duke.
 But the prince had slid down from his pile of books and planted himself beside him so suddenly that the bitter words died away on the old man's lips.

I'll-Pll banish you-yeS, sir-banish you like my mother fired Count Mar lanx out of the country. l won't let you come back here-never. And be- fore you go I'll have Uncle Jack give you a good licking.

 The man from Cooks came to grief. He slipped from his perch on the rock and came foundering to the ground.
 The spirited pony that the prince was riding shied and reared in quick alright. The boy dropped his crop and clung valiantly to the reins. A guardsman was at the pony's head in an instant.
 Truxton King picked up the riding crop, strode out into the roadway and handed it up to the boy in the saddle.
 Thank you," said Prince Bobby.
 Don't mention it," said Truxton King, with his most engaging smile. "No trouble at all"

 T didn't know you'd changed your mind, sir" remarked MT. Hobbs in surprise.
 'Of course you didn't know it," said Truxton. How could you? I've just changed 1t this instant. l didn't know 1t myself two minutes ago. No, sir, Hobbs-or is it Dobbs? Thanks.

 "Oh, they are the nobility--the swells. They don't hang around the streets like tourists and rubbernecks, sir" in plain disgust.
 q say, who is that just passing the lady in the victorian" King asked abruptly.
 "That is the Countess Marlanx."
 "Whew! 1 thought she was the queen"
 Hobbs went into details concerning the beautiful countess.
 q was just going to ask If you know anything about young woman who occasionally tends shop for William Spantz. the armorer," King finally asked.
 Hoobs looked interested. "She's quite beauty, sir, give you my word"
 "I know that, Hobbs. But who is she?"

 He was whistling gayly as he en- tered the little shop, ready to give cheery greeting to old Spantz and to make him temporizing offer for the broadsword. But it was not SpantZ who stood behind the little counter. Truxton flushed hotly and jerked of his hat. The girl smiled.

 Bobby's eyes filled with tears. The genuine humility of the hard old man touched his tempestuous little heart.
 "It's-it's all right, du-your grace. I'm sorry spoke that way too"
 AS the prince strode soberly from the room of wrangles" every eye was upon his sturdy little back, and there was kindly light in each of them, bar none.
 Later on the prince in his khaki rid ing suit loped gayly down the broad mountain road toward Ganlook beside the black mare which carried John Tullis. He had told Tullis of his vain- glorious defense in the antechamber.
 Say, Uncle Jack. when are you go- ing to take me to the witch's hovel?" The thought abruptly banished all else from his eager little brain.
 Some day soon," said Tullis. "You see, I'm not sure that she's receiving visitors these days. A witch is very arbitrary person. Even princes have to send nm their cards"

Tine witch's hovel was in the noun tain across the most rugged of the canyons and was to be reached only after the most hazardous of rides. The old woman of the hills was an ancient character about whom clung a thou sand spookish traditions, but who, in the opinion of John Tullis, was noth- ing more than wise fortune teller and necromancer, who knew every trick in the trade of hoodwinking the superstitious.
 As they rode back to the castle after an hour, coming down through Castle avenue from the monastery road, they passed tall, bronzed young man whom Tulls at once knew to be an American. He was seated on a big powder at the roadside enjoying the shade. At his side was the fussy, well known figure of cooks inter- preter eagerly pointing out certain i'm portant personages to him as they

evinced in church work and its teach
ings was an inspiration to the mem
bers of the synagogue.
His ideas of Judaism we're pro-
nounced and in the teachings of his
God he entered daily his social and
business life. AS an employer, friend
and counselor, his tact and pleasant
ness have not been excelled, and he
was man without known enemy in
the world.
The deceased was possessed of a
charm of friendship that won him the
place of honor and high attainments
that were ever his. From the bust
ness world he will be missed, from a
home that he had always frightened
through cheerfulness and in which
he was the father and head and as a
citizen, his place will be one that

come.

been member ever since coming to
Keokuk many years ago and took an
active interest in the good and the

Today Keokuk mourns the death of
one of her favorite and most highly
respected citizens. Samuel S. Lowitz.
who passed quietly away at st.
Joseph's hospital last evening at
seven o'clock after an extended i'll
ness of five weeks. Death was caused
from hemorrhage of the stomach, and
for several weeks it was feared that
this one of the city's kindliest resi-
dents and foremost business men,
could not long survive.
On July 10. Mr.. Lowitz was remov-
ed to the hospital where every tender
care was ministered him and what
was thought to be a successful oper-
alton was undergone by the
patient on the twenty-ninth of
July. From this, the deceased
seemed to rally and during a
period of splendid convalesence
hopes for his complete recovery were
bright and hundreds of friends who
are today sorrowing in the death of a
beloved citizen, rejoiced in the bet
terment of Mr.. Lowitz' condition.
Last evening, however, the patient
who had borne his sufferings with the
forbearance which made him be-
loved to every one in Keokuk, sank
into last peaceful sleep.

number of years. He was
travelling representative for mer-
camille company of the metropolis for
several years and there he gained his
| first real knowledge of American
business methods and in his passing
today after years Of steady, honest
endeavor, he had attained the reputa-
ton of being the largest merchant
tailor In the state of Iowa and one of
the foremost in his chosen business
in the middle west.
1t was in July of 1876 that
Samuel Lowitz came to Keokuk for
the first time, to begin business activ.
tiles here. For forty years he was in
terested in the upbuilding of wonder.
full business, the proportions of which
are well known. Successfully he en-
barked into the business world and
through kindness that cannot be
excelled and strictest attention along
the commercial lines he pursued, it
can be truly said of him that he was
thoroughly successful.
When first coming to this city, Mr..
Lowitz was employed in the dry
goods establishment of M. Younker
In the fall of II he succeeded his
4 brother Nathan S. Lowitz, deceased
! in the merchant tailoring business.
