~ large crowds of curious people. The
building of the dam will make for a I
most profitable Increase in the passen. !
ger traffic of the big boats until it is |,
finished which will be in about three
years, it is believed. 1t may not
take that long and 1t may take long
er.
Keokuk has always been a popular
port for church excursions from this
city, and there will be the usual NUM-
Der again during this year. Stops
near or at the scene of operations will
no doubt be advertised as one of the
principal attractions of the trips, and
other organizations, such as lodges,
societies and clubs, no doubt will head
their annual river outings that way,
too.
1t is estimated that by the time
the tourist traffic through St Louis
st. Paul trade reaches its height,
which is usually in August, there
will be in the neighborhood of 1900
men working on the dam. The number
of men will depend on conditions.
During the low water period, as many
men as can be used will be employed
il they are to be had and during food
time only as many as absolutely neces.
sary will be kept on the job AS UNI
usually high water is expected this
year, preparations for the protection
of the work that then will have been
completed, are to be made very soon.

Controversy has arisen between the
Lacelede Gas Light Company and the
Mississippi Valley Distributing Com
pany over the contract for power. The
Executive Committee of the Laclede
holds that the company is not bound
to fulfill a contract which was made
when the Laclede was controlled by
the North American Company. Tho
Laclede has signified that it is not dis
posed to buy power from the distribut-
ing company, which is a subsidiary of
the North American Company The
Laclede is now controlled by a syn

maintain that the contracts of their

Office Department is charging $13 S21 100 of the cost of
rural free delivery against the sccond-cass mail Now
rural free delivery established matter of Govern

one dollar of this expense against the magazines 1t is
undoubtedly of benefit to the daily newspapers but the
Department is trying exempt them from an increase in
rate The magazines do not need want once day or
twice day deliveries on these rural routes
Page 1885, Postmaster's Report 1908 says .Frankinp
privileges weighed 4,555,634 pounds They certainly
cost the average price of all mail in all ways And
Governmental matter for Departments other than the

The Quincy Herald says:
Heavy reports of dynamite blast
ing may be heard every day now on
the Illinois shore opposite Keokuk
where gangs of men are emploed
on the preliminary work for the big
dam that is to harness the waters OF
the old Mississippi at that place
Blasting is being done not only in
the quarry, but also in the excavation
for the east end of the dam, the en-
gineers having reached bed rock il
the big ditch a few days ago.
The work is progressing as rapidly
as possible and foreign born laborers
arc arriving almost every day. Most
of the laborers are said to be Greeks.
Sixteen descendants of Pericles, De.
mosthanes and Aristides reached Keo-
kuk Tuesday; six more showed up
yesterday and twenty-five were to
have come today Others are to fol.
low from day to day until the required
number is obtained. There will be
some delay in the arrival of these la
Dor shipments owing to the lack of
bunking accommodations, which are
being provided as rapidly as possible.
A new bunking house Is now in the
1 course of construction and another is
soon to be erected. Secretary J. P.
Allen of the company building the dam
| is expected to return today from New
York city and Chief Engineer Cooper
is due most any time now.
The dam building operations will
attract a great deal of attention dur
ling the coming summer and no doubt
a majority of the all-day excursions
from Quincy. Hannibal and other
points south and north of Keokuk will
be headed that way, as people will
want to see what is going on there,

In certain of the petroleum produc-
Ing districts it becomes necessary,
some times in opening an oil well,
some times when the well has become
clogged or apparently exhausted, to be-
gin or renew the flow by exploding
n1troglycerine at the bottom of the we'll.
This explosive is employed because it
Is exploded readily by the dropping Of
a weight upon 1t. A man who carries
nttroglycerine from well to well for
this purpose Is known in the oil
regions as a Shooter"
The shooter has a wagon in which to
carry his explosive. A square box un-
der the seat is carefully padded, and
when 1t has been solidly filled with
cans of nitroglycerine, which is a mo-
lasses like fluid, he fastens down the
cover and drives slowly away to the
well that he is to shoot" Usually he
makes the trip very early in the morn
Ing, to avoid the customary travel and
SO diminish the chance of danger.
Fol the most part the roads are
bad and the wagon jolts along in a
way to make any one but an old
shooter" decidedly Il it is
dark there is great danger that a wheel
may drop into a hole with force enough
to detonate the explosive. Several
wagons, bearing shooters" and Their
loads, have been blown up, but no one
ever lived to tell what sort of a jar
caused the explosion.

Starting Up the Oil Well

except the great hole in the ground
which the explosion has dug, with pos
slbly a wheel Of the wagon a quarter
or a mile away in n direction and an
other in the opposite direction.
The Shooter" generally takes from
~ to 24O quarts of nitroglcerine in his
wagon. The smaller amoun is quite
enough, If it should explode, to leave
no trace of the driver Of the vehicle.
When the Shooter reaches the
well which is to be treated long torpedo
tubes are placed within the casing of
the Well and the nitroglycerine is
poured carefully into them. h well
may be 1900 feet deep n is seldom
less than 1000. When one Of the tubes
is filed 1t is lowered with the utmost
care to the bottom of the well. This
operation is repeated until the Shoot
err Is satisfied that the load is heavy
enough to accomplish the purpose.
When all is ready a bar of iron. known
as a "~go-devil," is dropped into the
we'll. The instant it leaves his hand
the shooter takes to his heels, seek
ing a place of safety.
Suddenly the earth trembles: there is
a crash, followed by a snap; a mufaed
sound arises and becomes louder and
louder, until a column of oil and water
shoots from rs to 100 feet into the air.
The country for hundreds of feet
around is filled with clouds of spray
foating to windward. When this sub
SIDES the well is in operation. and the
shooter" receives his fee and drives
away.

CHAPTER VII.
Oare and Am Forgiven.

For a moment she did not stir, only
sat there crushed and dazed, star
ing straight before her. as though
not understanding what had happened.
Ana, looking down at he., ny mood
OF e~xultation in my triumph changed
suddenly to one Of pity for her weak
ness, I had felt precisely the am
emotion many times before, when. hay.
ing brought down a bird or a rabbit
by some daring or difficult shot 1 came
ing its life out Pity for M victim
always outweighed the satisfaction
which the successful shot had given
me. and I would tramp sadly home,
resolved to aunt 10 more. What right

surssE what right had I to bring suf-
IeEing and misery into the world?
So gazing down at that bowed
head, l felt pity for her rise warm
within my heart She was right.
Men were brutes, brutes-crushine
women by their strength, pulling
them down, taking their will Of them,
men fartng gaily on without a
they left behind. So it had always
been.
At last she looked UP at me and
her eyes were very cold.
Was that the act Of a gentle
MANI" she asked.
1T was not" I said, and at nv
tone I saw her start and look up at
me more keenly. No doubt she had
expected to hear in my voice q note
Of triumph.
"You are ready. then, to apollo
gize?' she continued after a mo-
Il sincerely beg your pardon, mad
emoiselle."
You see, I was wrong to trust
you to come here into the garden
with you. But I thought you a man
Of honor"
II thought myself So" I said.
And your excuse?"
Il was tempted and I fell"
Tha has been mans retort since

scorn. "a retort which I consider
u~ngenerous and ungentlemanly."
well. it has not been without
some Justification" I said, my spirits
rising, as I saw hat here, at least
was a victim capable of self defense
But I apologize"
You promise that the act shall
never be repeated?" she asked with
great severity.
