COMING POWER SECTION.
New plants Under Way Which Mean
Marked Development.

Burlington HawkEye: Southeastern
Iowa, of which Burlington is the chief
market, bids fair to become the lead
ing water power section OF the coun-
try. Aside from the big project at
Keokuk from which great things are
expected, smaller power plants are
being constructed along the Skunk
and Iowa rivers.
The Iowa Power Co. has started
things in Louisa county and has a
corps of engineers making the final
surveys for a water power project
near Wapello. The location for the
dam, power house and steam auxiliary
plant, will be made at an early date.
This is the same company that has a
power dam at Oakland in Henry coun-
ty, and also proposes to build plant
at Augusta.
The promoters have been making
their headquarters at Burlington for
some time.
Those who have followed the course
of events profess TO believe that the
building of interurban lines in south
eastern Iowa will result from the com
pletion of the several power pro-
jects now under way. There are many
sections where It is held these lines
would be profitable, thus one running
southwest from Burlington to Fort
Madison, with a branch over to Bona
parte. This scheme has long been
talked of and 1t may come before FIVE
years pass. Also there is 9 good sec
ton northwest from Burlington that
it is believed could be proftably tap
ped by an electric road. while the n
N. & S. will open up long neglected
territory.

While Italy's pacifests were thus
aligning themselves either with or
against the policy of the government
in seizing Tripoli and Cyrensica. the
government itself, by means OF its
rigid press censorship, was pursuing
the even tenor of its way and seeing
to it that neither Italy nor the out
side world learned anything more
about the war than it actually chose
TO have become known The manner
in which the government maintained
press censor on every telephone
wire so that news of the war could
neither be telephoned in nor out of the
country, was typically illustrated by
the following partial story and ex-
PLANTATION which appeared one day in
one of the war extras of the Mes
saggero, the popular paper of the
Roman masses.
Paris, September 2s.-The havas
news agency has the following dis
patch from Tripoli:
@tAt Bengasi, after a fght that
lasted during the entire day of the
/ eighteenth, the Turks and the Arabs
attacked during the night the Italian
camp but were repulsed.
The Italians succeeded then in
making themselves masters OF the
city and the Turks, after grave losses,
retreated to the interior
The Italians sustained one hun
dred dead and-(at this point the tele
phone service was cut by the cen
sor.l''
At no time during the war did the
government allow the italian press to
print the account of any reyerses OF
the Italian troops.

ALL You Need Is A
Cascaret Tonight
No Sick Headache, Bilious Stomach,
Coated Tongue or constipated
Bowels by Morning.

Turn the rascals out-the headache,
the biliousness, the Indigestion. the
sick, sour stomach and foul gases
turn them out tonight and keep them
out with Cascarets.
Millions of men and women take a
Cascaret now and then and never
know the misery caused by lazy
liver, clogged bowels or an upset
stomach.
Don't put in another day of distress.
Let Cascarets cleanse and regulate
your stomach remove the sour, un.
digested and fermenting food and that
misery-making gas; take the excess
bile from your liver ard carry out OF
the system all the decomposed waste
matter and poison in the intestines
and bowels Then you will feel great
A Cascaret tonight will surely
s,traighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep. A 10-cent box
from any drug store means clear
head and cheerfrlncss for months
Children love to take Cascarets be

BY Mark Field.

The peculiar features and charac-
teristics of Granger, Mo-, may be
found separately in other little towns,
but we know of no other place in
which the combination is matched.
Here we have a population of about
400, of whom the intelligence and
public spirit are above the average in
villages of the same size. Absolute
prohibition, slightly tinctured with
religion, rules the town. No drunk
man is ever seen on the streets; and
no saloon. or blind pig. or easy drug
store could live here even day. At
stated periods our three churches
Methodist, Christian, and Presbyter-
ian-ring their bells for service. The
Methodists have preaching twice a
month, the Presbyterians and the
Christians once a month. The attend
ance is very small. But the croquet
ground, right in the center of town. is
crowded with players every Sunday
and most of the week days, from
morning till night, rain or shine.
Henry Ward Beecher once said: III
anybody in my congregation ever
goes to sleep while am talking
want the janitor to come to the pulpit
and wake up the preacher" Now we
don't go to church often enough to
tell how it is in the Granger pulpits,
but we are informed that they are
occupied by men that keep wide
awake. Therefore, We are puzzled to
know why the churches get SO few
and the croquet ground SO man, of the
people on the Sabbath day.
AS before remarked intoxicants are
neither sold nor drunk in Granger
But there is here gang OF youngster:
some of them full grown-whose
Insulting rudeness on the streets
would be fare more e1cusable If the.
We're full of booze all the time. Thu
lack of a corporate government t
assist in the control Of this barbar
GUS element, and to do other neces
lsary things. is a serious misfortune.
Yet, here, without the help Of
corporation, and without the aid
the cash that comes from license
saloons. is one of the best paved vi
lagos in Missouri. All the principa
Istreets are bordered with granitoi
walks. All the stores are broadl
fronted with the.,, as are all tn

churches; and there Is no want OF that
neatness and OF that good taste, about
dwellings, store houses, barns, etc,
which bespeak a thrifty. well cultured
people.
In full keeping with this good part
of the picture is a rural trade that
amply supports four heavily stocked
general stores. one OF the best OF hard
ware stores, and a very Respectable
drug store. Keokuk, that most re-
markable of wholesale cities, has a
trade here that speaks loudly for the
commercial prosperity of Granger
while the large circulation OF The
Gate City in the village, and in the
country for miles around It, shows
that the folks hereabouts keep up with
the times as to the news, and as TO
all the material requirements OF the
age.
Our merchants are full of life, fer
| tile OF resources and of expedients,
and the competition among them
keeps them ever on the move. For In
stance: not many days ago, Mr.. G. II.
Graham, one of the best known OF
Changers retailers, invited the Wing
er Brothers, of Keokuk, to come anu
make a special sale of ladies' cloaks
and suits in his store. The Wingers
| flew out with a superb supply OF the
goods required, and in sales room
which for convenience, comfort, and
attractiveness of adornment is no
where excelled, sold, in one day
$4,000 worth of womens' garments
The spirit exhibited by Mr.. Graham
was contagious, and in few days
after the sale at his store, Mr.. q. 5
c. Foster followed with a special sale
iof mems overcoats at his place Of
business, the goods being furnished
by Mr.. J. L. johnson, a Memphis
clothier.
The Granger curio man, Mr.. R. L
Falrbrother, is now up and cominI
with lot of Asiatic blunderbussei
that were made in the B. G. period
They came from Asia to Iowa, AM
