MINE TROUBLES
MAY BE ENDED
Executive Board Decides Upon Com
promise Which Will be Voted
Upon.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. July 25.-The
International Executive Board of the
United Mine Workers Of America, after
a weeks deliberation, has decided
upon compromise which Is accept
able to the operators of Illinois and
which will now be submitted to ref
erendum vote of the Illinois miners.
Not only do the operators grant an
increase of the day labor, yardage and
dead work, amounting to 5.55 per cent
and an increase Of cents per ton on
mine run coal, but they have also
agreed to pay / " cents per ton extra
in mines where shotfirers are en-
ployed. This is considered. the great
est concession of all, after which
comes the concession granting to the
mines in Franklin and Williamson
counties an additional increase of 2
cents per ton.
The Illinois union officials are also
forced to make some concessions, but
these concessions deal for the most
part with the powers of the district
officials over the allied unions, such
as the engineers, firemen and others,
and 1t is declared that in the refern-
dunn the miners, who will not be af-
fected in a practical way by these
concessions, will vote for the COM
promise to and the threatening sit
uation in that state will be settled.

Not since July 25. 1901, has Keokuk

and had 1t gone but a few tenths high

have placed the maximum at an even

At Z a. m. the mercury was up as

Z p. M,
f Keokuk people would have suffered
more from the heat had the day been
any other than Sunday. About nine
hundred of them went to the ball park,
while others focked to the woods or
remained at home. The only relief
was a brisk wind that continued dur
ing the entire day.
However, July Is cool compared
with that same month in 1901. In that
year for July the mercury reached 1os

Daily Grain Letter.

CHICAGO, H., July 25.-Wheat--
Has been slow and econd to the corn
market, much OF it's firmness coming
from corn. Weather is clear and hot
in the winter wheat country and ex-
tremely favorable to harvest. New
wheat is beginning to be offered free
ly and large movement is anttcipat-
ed. Traders are waiting for the dis
posal OF the July wheat deal before
taking any decided stand. We believe
December and September are on
sale on hard spots.
Corn-Decided and sharply higher.
Shorts bought large quantities the
only offerings coming from local longs
who were taking large profits. The
country is not selling as freely as was
expected and there is no hedging pres
sure 20 speak of. Sensational reports
as result of hot winds are coming in
and the big bull sentiment carries the
market along very readily. Unless
the country sells corn freely for ar
rival, higher prices can be looked for.
Oats -Sympathizcd somewhat with
corn. Offerings to arrive continue lip-
eral with much consequent hedging
pressure. There is but little to ad
vance oat prices on. Harvest is we'll
under way and big yields are reported.
A big run of oats is expected for
August.
Provisions-Depres by the west
ern hog run which is considered un-
usually large in view of the hot wealth
err. Small packers continue free sell
ers. Scattered demand from shorts
furnished about all the support.
Sample markets Wheat Offerings
fairly liberal, elevator interests taking
stuff at about the premiums which
have prevailed for some time.
! Corn has not followed futures but
is 1c to &c higher. Shipping demand
very slow.
Offerings heavy, shipping de-
mand poor, prices about unchanged.

that he had sold Proctor two years

WOULDN'T Be
GOOD TO DRINK
Water Has Stood in Some of the Fire
c;sserns Of keokuk for
Almost Forty
Years.
BEING CLEANED OUT,
Fire Steamer Was Pressed Into Ser
vice Today to Start Pumping
Out OF These Old
Wells.
ENG CLEANED OUT.

There have been dozens of notice
able ancient land marks, old buildings
and structures erected in days gone
past but the fire cisterns of Keokuk
are public utilities little noticed yet
old and time worn. For the first time
in the history OF these old wells UNI
der ground that are maintained for
fire protection, all of them are in need
of it,. are to be repaired, and the ce-
ment and brick masons will begin at
once to stop up the leaks in the bot
toms and sides of the cisterns.
Scattered throughout Keokuk on the
north and sou.l side of town are
some fifteen or eighteen of these fire
cisterns. Among these are those To-
Gated at Second, Fourth, Sixth,
Eighth, and Tenth on Main, at the
Hotel Keokuk, Seventh and Timea,
Ninth and Bank, Twelfth and Des
Moines, Leisy Brewing Company,
Ninth and Blondeau, Seventh and
Morgan and Fourth and High.
Give Forth Bad odor
In many of these fire cisterns, the
water has stood for thirty and forty
years. One can imagine the odor that
would come forth from a we'll in
which water that has no outlet or in
let in all that time, has stood
This morning three firemen under
direction of Chief Anderson, took the
newly repaired steamer to each one
of these cisterns along Main street
and pumped the water from
them SO the workmen could
start making the needed re-
pairs. At 1esth street the wa
ter smelled worst, and one or two
business men in that locality said that
II the firemen did not desist In their
efforts of getting the cistern on Tenth
street dry, their places of business
would necessarily have to be closed.
Filled In tho Fall.
The fire cisterns are twenty feet
deep and about sixteen or eighteen
feet wide. Once every fall they are
filled almost to the top with water
from the fire p'ugs so that if fire
should break out in the winter time
or water service was unavoidably
suspended by the pumping station.
these wells filed with water could be
used to fall back on.

Suicide and May be
Located Soon.
FAMILY IS EXCITED
Illinois Lumberman Who Disappear.
ed Several Days Ago is In
Keokuk, or Was This
Morning.

That Joseph A. Proctor, man
who left Peoria. ILL.,, last Thursday
and is short in his business accounts
over one hundred thousand dollars,
is in Keokuk, the police here have no
doubt. This morning a Keokuk man
who went to school with Proctor
stepped into the police station and
told Chief Schevers that he had seen
Proctor and had spoken to him at
O'Clock this morning. 1t is supposed
that the Peoria man is In business
here in one of the brokerage Offices
of the city and is located on South
Third street. The police have not
been able to locate Proctor but hang
to the theory that he is in the city
and in deranged state of mind.
Chief Schevers in a talk over the
long distance phone this morning
with w. w. Rhodes, chief OF the Pc
oria police department, received
a description of the man and an ac-
count of his disappearance. The fam
lily Of the missing man are distracted
over his disappearance. The police
do not wish to arrest him but merely
wish to return him to mis- family
and home.
Proctor was entrusted with thirty
thousand dollars Of his sisters mon
ey to invest 1t for her In southern
real estate. This with a hundred
thousand dollars of the company's
money, by whom he was employed,
he spent.
This mornings Chicago Tribune
says with regard to Proctor's disap-
pearance:
That Joseph A. Proctor, the miss
ing lumberman of Peoria, H., has
ended his life is feared by relatives.
Hope that he will be discovered in
this city by the police furnishes to
them the only sanguinity in the situa-
ton as far as the life OF Proctor is
concerned.
Proctor was last seen wandering
through a broken tract Of country
south of Peoria known as Dutch
hills" This was on Friday, twenty
four hours after he had slipped
! away from family conference over
his involved affairs with the excuse
that he was going for his deposit box
key. He is considered by his friends
to have been suffering from a ner-
yous breakdown at the time he evad-
! ed the conference.
The announcement that Proctor
carried heavy insurance brought for
-WaSd motive for his self-destruc-
ton that was regarded as on,inous.
The sums placed by Proctor on his
life axe more than enough to protect
his outstanding paper and to restore
/, the fortune of his sister, Mrs Chas.
l.. Trumbull. GAS Cass street, which
Proctor tied up in Texas lands.
