When all Is writ, 1t will be found that 'tis pride that goes before a fall. One chesty leader, strutting with a near victory well in hand, may reach first on a palpable hit and deride the losing spec tators-and then be humiliated by a crushing defeat in the seventh. It is good to laugh, but time your laughter that it may come after that of your op- ponent.-Ovid.

GOOD GROWING WEATHER."
When the New Scalp Antiseptie Is
Used.

\ good head of hair is as much a
crown of glory for man as it is for
woman, Notwithstanding all the poetry
on the subject applied to the female
sex exclusively. In the season when
flies bite. the bald-headed man can
sympathize with the Egyptians who
were so sorely plagued on account OF
the children of Israel. Why not try
Newbro's Herpicide? Others have
been benefited and are loud in its
praise. 1t cleanses the scalp, kills
the germ at the root of the hair and
by keeping the scalp sweet, pure and
wholesome. the hair is bound TO grow
as nature intended, regardless OF the
temperature. Try it and be convinced.

Interurban Car Which Left keokuk at
2:ao O'clock Yesterday After
noon Came Near coildine
With "Dinky."
SMOKE SAVED THE DAY
Motorman Zimmerman Saw Smoke
Roll From Stack of Engine
and Halted Car While Pas
senger's Jumped.

A head-on collision between the in.
terurban car which left Keokuk at
2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon and
a T. P. & W. extra freight running
between Hamilton and Warsaw was
barely averted about half mile south
of the Hamilton depot When the
freight and interurban car were
brought to a stop within few
feet of each other. Twenty passen.
gers on the latter had jumped from
the car, but without injury.
Where the fault for the near-acci
dent can be placed is not known. The
interurban had no knowledge that the
"dinky," as it is called, was to make
the trip from Warsaw to Hamilton
although the engineer stated that he
notified the lead officials at Peoria,
which in turn should have directed a
message to the operator at Hamilton
holding the interurban until the arri
val of the freight. This freight went
to Warsaw in the morning and was
followed by the interurban.
Smoke from the engines stack
which was seen in time by Motorman
Zimmerman, saved the day. He saw
smoke rolling forth around the bend
and promptly slowed down the car
coming to a standstill and then start
ing to back up. The "dinky' could
not be seen until it was within short
distance of the interurban and ever
then the engineer could not see the
danger ahead and was also unable t
see the brakeman's signal, who was
on the front end of the freight, three
cars being ahead OF the cab. Wher
the engineer pulled up his train ne
was within short distance OF the car
while passengers who had jumped
we're strewn along the sides of the

Block Day In keokuk When Renevo-
lent Union Collected Cash Do
nations From Tho
Residences.
MANY COLLECTORS BUSY
Three Thousand Envelopes Had Been
Delivered With a Request
That Money be Placed
Inside.

Just at noon today the signal was
given for Block Day. The fire bells
changed out and the whistles at the
factories began to Shrek, this being
the signal for the collectors to start
out, one for each block in the resi-.
dence district, and gather up the en-.
yelopes which had been distributed
at the homes, in which the citizens
we're to place cash donations for the
Benevolent Union.
There was scamper in the homes
to get the envelopes ready for the col.
ectors and they were handed over
cheerfully to the collectors who called.
These collectors were given one hour
in which to complete their work.
On Monday the envelopes were de-
iyercd and it took 5000 of them to
go around, one in each home in the
city, The instructions printed on the
dreds of them We're returned empty,
here were many which contained
money or checks.
After they have been opened and the
money counted, statement will be
issued, showing the total amount OF
money received by tue ladies al no n
today
The scheme was rather a novel one
and took the place OF the Tag Days
which had been held previously III
the fall, as means of raising money
for the work being carried on by the
organization.
Tie time OF the signal had not been
given cut and the people who lad
sealed their envelopes and were walt
ing, were on the tip toe of expe .ancy
all morning. Early in the morning
there was fire alarm and E,;nv
thought that this was the signal. Ticn

they did not know what to think.
However, when the collector CT ed,
they knew that the real signal had
been given.
The Benevolent Union is KeoHas's

and any appeal for aid always re-
ceives ready and hearty response.
