Rev. Nelson Hall, of Hamilton, ILL.,,
was in Keokuk today and says that
Hamilton real estate has scared al
most beyond belief For real estate
on Main street in some instances the
price asked is $50 per foot frontage
the highest price ever asked for
Hamilton property. Daily, said Rev.
Hail. Hamilton people flock to the
scene of work and manifest the great

Not even the minutest detail escapes
their scrutiny and the building of work
shops, etc, is eagerly watched. Often
when hole is being dug there
will be as many as twenty people
about watching the work.

ing, the Fifty-sixth annual business
meeting of the First Unitarian soci.
ETY., which was held last evening at
7:30, in the Sunday school room Of
the large church at Fourth and High
streets. 1t is with feeling of that
freeness which always comes with
the cancellation of all Indebtedness,
that the society embarks into the
year 1910. Through this reason in
particular, was the business meeting,
a pleasurable one last evening and
the members of the congregation Of
that house of worship are to be con-
gratulaed on the healthy condition of
their church.
There was full attendance, in
surfing a spirited business session
Asaph Buck, chairman of the eve
ming, called on the various members
of the church societies, the officers
of the church and Sunday school and
those in charge of the several other
departments for their reports Each
bespoke for itself, splendid condi-
ton of affairs and of never brighter
prospects for the ensuing year.
For the coming year, the board OF
trustees of the church were elected.
They are: Messrs. Asaph Buck, Geo.
S. Tucker, A Hollingsworth, George
Hassal, Sr., and j. F. Elder who sue

Gratifying Reports.
One Of the most gratifying reports

church, during the past year has BEEN
cancelled and all other Indebtedness
has been erased from the church re-
cords, leaving the society with a

the present church year.
Excellent reports were heard from
the Woman's Alliance, the Young peo-
PIES Unity Circle, the Mems club

WASHINGTON GASPS
At BIG SENSATION
Personal and Confidential" Files
of Ballinger, Printed, Cause a
Stir--Alaska Case.

(ey united Press Leased Wire)
WASHINGTON, May 1s.-Wash-
Inston gasps as II realizes the con.
tents and significance Of the mass
Of letters hastily read in haphazard
order at the eaiIinger hearing. The
stenographic record came from the
public printer during the night and
yesterday and today everybody who
can get a copy Of the letters is read
ing them.
Be it known that these letters
were the personal and confiden-
tial" files of Ballinger, dragged out
by young Kerby. Kerby testified
that Ballinger, before he became a
cabinet member, had agreed to dis
charge Director Newell of the rec
lamation service and appoint r. NJ.
Thompson, city engineer of Seattle,
in his place.
Ballinger became cabinet men,
Der in March, 1909. In May of that
year he wrote this letter marked
personal and confidential in which
he said he had been asked by
George w. Perkins. head Of the
J. P. Morgan company. to recon-
mend an engineer to go to Alaska
to advise Perkins. To this Thomp-
son replied, telling Of plans he was
making to accept the offer.
A short time after this letter was
written by Thompson, Ballinger ad-
vised Thompson not to go on the
Alaska trip and in letter written
to George W. Perkins on June 5.
1909, marked personal and conf
dential," Secretary Ballinger writes
in reference to Thompson: Il have
asked him to write you direct and
advised him that for certain reasons
/ would prefer that he would not

with him certain business matters
this summer" At the same time
Ballinger notified Perkins that he
had asked Thompson to recommend
some other engineer to accompany
him on the Alaska trip. In his letter
to Thompson, Ballinger said:
1.-The purpose of his (Mr. Per
kins) trip, in the strictest conf
dence. is the investigation of feas-
ible railway construction in Alaska
with mineral resources and posi-
bilities tributary to any line or lines
of road that might be considered
feasible and, in short. he desires a
man of that experience In engineer
ing and mining who would be safe
and conservative adviser along
fhoco lines While know number
of persons on the coast who might
possibly fill the bill. l hesitate to
recommend any of them who l re-
call at this time. I know that your
acquaintance with men of engineer
ing and mining experience ought to
enable you to suggest a man who
would fill the bill.

toned to me, as I have heretofore

EFFORT TO
TURN DOWN
THE PLAN

A strong effort is being made to
have the city council turn down the
proposition to send the Milwaukee
and North Coast franchises to the
people for their approval in way
that will bind the railways as well
as the people.
Should the city council pursue
the policy of rushing through the
franchise without giving the people
the chance of binding appeal
there will be more room for talk
and the continued circulation of
the report that improper influences
were used when the council
changed front in the demand for
terminal rates.
Some of the councilmen want to
leave the final approval of the rail
way franchises with the people in
such a way that the result will be
binding upon all parties alike. Then
if the franchises without the ter
minal rates are adopted the rail
roads win; if the terminal rates are
demanded, then the railroads must
stay out or grant this concession.

MEETING
OFPROTEST
IS CALLED

Indignation over the continued
water shortage on the north Mon
roe hill will find expression at an
indignation meeting to be held to-
night at the Monroe Park presby-
terrain church.
Water has been very short in
this section of the city for the past
month and at times for hours there
has not been enough to drink. Yet
the consumers there have seen peo-
pie in other sections of the city
using automatic sprinklers. until
they believe the limit of endurance
has been reached.
1t is proposed at the meeting to-
night to take some action to seek
relief. Promises have failed to Sc
cure water. and the time to see
where the trouble lies has arrivd,

was that a crazy man had gone in

for the office to summon the day

These two together finally
summoned sufficient courage to
turn the key from the outside
Of the door and peer within.
There sat poor Dan Aumodt,
freely perspiring and with head
bowed down almost between his
knees; he was clutching his
hair and murmuring, "How In

That very question presented one
of the greatest problems that any
one of the astounded trio had ever
endeavOred to solve. Dan, on first
awakening. had reached out to an

Rising up from his bed, while yet
sound asleep, with only the thin
apparel Of night and the cover Of
darkness to shield him from the ele-
ments, Dan Aumodt crawIed out the
window Of his room on the second
floor Of the international hotel, 234
Main avenue, last night, and scaled
down the cold, bare brick walls to
the ground. His experience, which
would have proved almost nerve
racking to man in waking hours,
did not awaken Aumodt.
After prowling about in the dark
court into which he had lowered
himself for a little while, Aumodt
started back for his bed, but mis-
taking an open window on the first
floor Of the hotel for the entrance of
his own abode, he crawled inside,
and-no, no-he wasn't shot by
some terrified person inside. for by
the merest chance it was a vacant
room and, still unconscious of his
strange behavior, he retired.
Early this morning the chamber
maid on the first floor was terrified

escapade finally gave them all a
clue to what had happened.
Aumodt could scarcely believe 1t,
for he declares he never walked in
his sleep before, but after sizing up
his soiled hands and feet and other
details of the strange situation, he
accepted it as the truth. Anyway,
Dan found his clothes all in good re-
pair up in room No SO, on the floor
above, where they belonged, and his
room was still securely locked from
the inside, Just as he had left it on
going to bed last night.
He went out afterwards, when
thoroughly awake, and again per-
formed the dangerous feat, just to
satisfy himself as to whether he
could do it.

NEW YORK. May 19.-The fact
that the comets tail is invisible at
the time of contact with the earth.
now past, is vindication Of the
general belief OF astronomers that
the tail Is so thin that its presence
Is not detachable.
Comparing the prints of tho
comet made in 1885 with observa-
tons of the last few days thero
seems to be little change in the
comets appearance. This creates
the question regarding the posi-
bility that it has an abnormally
long tail.
If the comet Is shedding its core
through its tail throughout Its jour.
ney, it Is hard to figure how tho
tail or the comet can last so long.
Considering this. it is probable that
comets grow tails only within this
particular solar system.

reason for the withdrawal of Rob-
