President Taft Has Asked Him to be
United States Judge Of the
Eighth Circuit
Court.
HE IS POPULAR CHOICE
Contest For vanpevanter's Seat Had
Narrowed Down to Iowa
Man and
Norris.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-The non-
ination OF Representative Walter /.
Smith of Iowa to be United States
judge to fill the vacancy on the
Eighth circuit court, caused by the
election of Justice Willis Van Devant-
er to the United States supreme
bench, which was sent to the senate,
met with general approval in Wash
ington, and he has received hundreds
of congratulations. The contest had
narrowed down, apparently to Judge
Smith and Representative Norris OF
Nebraska. The former is leader OF
the regular republican organization in
the house. member of the rules COM
mittee and of the appropriations COM
mittee. Norris is a leader of insurg-
ents. and though Norris has sat ON
the state circuit bench Of his state
just as has Smith in Iowa, there is
decided difference in the degree OF
the judicial temperament possessed
by the two men, and Smith is recog-
nized as the stronger OF the two.
The appointment can not fail to
nave a BOOQ seUPCL On the pOllulCdl. Slt-
Eation in Iowa. The greatest fight in
the whole state during the last con-
gressional campaign was that waged
by the insurgents against Judge Smith.
worse defeat they could not accom-
plish, even with the retiring attorney
general of the state, Mr.. Byers, pitted
against him and the two insurgent
senators helping out. Judge Smith
came back with a good majority and
more popular than ever.
Judge Smith was born at Council
! Bluffs, July 10, 1862. He received a
common school education and studied
law in the Office of Col. d. B. Daily
He was admitted to the bar in De-
cember, 1882, and was elected judge
of the Fifteenth judicial district OF
! Iowa in 1889 and reelected in 1894
and 1898. He was elected to congress
| in November, 1900. He has been in
the house of representatives continn-
ously since that time and was re-elect.

SUGGESTS OWN DAM
FOR BURLINGTON
j. w. Albright Suggests Plan Of Con-
structins Mil Race In o'connell
Slough.

Mr.. J. w. Albright of Burlington is
out with the suggestion that that city
have it's own water power plant and
not depend upon the Keokuk project.
His idea is to construct mill race in
O'Connel lslough, where he alleges
there is sufficient fall to generate
from fifty to a hundred thousand
horsepower.
Mr.. Albright expresses himself as
follows to the Gazette.
Editor Gazette: Having watched the
water in the old Mississippi, as it
comes rushing down O'Connel slough,
u have often thought, why not make
use of it for power purposes, and
believe by constructing a mill race
from the upper to the lower end
straight through O'Connel Island. Of
concrete, say twenty to thirty feet
wide, and building dam from the
upper end of the island to the Iowa
shore and dam from the upper end
of the island northeast to Otter Island
the water could come through the
canal, or race, with sufficient force to
generate from $4,000 to 100000 horse
power. Besides generating power, the
water would come down just right to
keep the channel clear and of good
depth in front of the city. The power
plant being located at the lower end
of the island would be close to the
manufacturing district on the flats
4 north of the city. BY having a chan
mel thus created near the iowa shore
would permit the building of a sewer
on the lower land in the north end oi
the city.
Il The construction of the canal pow
i er plant, etc, can be done at a very
low cost and would prove perpetual
benefit to the city by generating
power for manufacturing, water works
and lighting as we'll as furnishing
4 power for interurban roads that coule
be easily induced OF come in to oul
:, city.
} II would in no wise interfere with
navigation, nor the building of the
bridge. as the bridge is going to BIZ
Luilt below the island.
The suggestion is now made, le
the enterprising Commercial Ex
change look into the Feasibility o
the proposition and may be they vii
: not find it but the idle dream of ;
\ dwcller on North Hill Bluffs.

ther-in-law, Sir Algernon West, with
slander for having said she was re-
sponsible for her separation from

Rev. Potter,s Lecture.

Good crowds always turn out when
the Rev. John w. Potter Of the Trinity
church has prepared lecture, a spec
ial sermon or sermonette along lines
of interest. Last night was one of
those occasions when people like to
spend an evening in the presence OF
"a lecturer who is we'll acquainted with
his subpect and has the matter we'll
In hand.
The Fall of Babylon was the cap
ton of an evening of entertainment
combining history and temperance
lessons by DR.. Potter before large
audience last night, several hundred
hearing the address. The latest lee
ture was the fifth paid event of it's
kind since the coming to Keokuk Of
Dr. Potter little more than two
years ago and from numerous re.
quests, it will not be the last, the in
terest and pleasure evinced in last
nights happening, giving assurance to
this latter statement.
The Trinity Epworth League was
responsible for THE Fall of Babylon
talk by DR.. Potter, and in part his ad
dress is given below:
In the fourth plain of Dena SIS
miles east of Jerusalem and $50 miles
north of the head waters of the Per
sian gulf, stood proud. rich, majestic
ancient Babylon on the site of the
Tower of Babel
In point of city plan, architectural
magnificience and gorgeous splendor
she eXcelled the cities of her time.
Her walls We're 800 feet high, 81
feet thick at the base and wide enough
on top for two chariots of four horses
each to drive abreast.
These walls were made of the
earth taken from about the city, the
great ditch thus made being of equal
width and depth to the wallis height
and thickness. Thus preventing the
near approach of engines of wal
whether intended to fire missiles al
the warriors on the walls or to batter
down the fortification. The city was
cut up into SIC equal squares OIL
blocks. The walls were entered by %
gates of solid brass on every side
making 100 in all and these were each
surmounted by massive tower
strongly fortified and able to accom-
odate small army.
The river Euphrates passed through
the city. entering under the nortl
wall near the northwest corner ant
passing across the city made its exi
under the south wall near the south

the wall huge gate Of brass worked
by powerful machinery was always

with an exhaustless river of water

tack of any besieging or assaultin'

The east side OF the river was oo

ADJUSTMENTS.
Is a Fine Play.

Quite the best dramatic production
that has appeared at the Grand opera
house in number of seasons, was
Madame X" Henry w. Savage's three
act play of deep heart interest. One
OF tender mother love and vivid real
tiles as they exist in real life all of
the way through the play, the various
climaxes as they came we're pronounc-
ed fine. The scene of the play is
laid in France. the American version
OF the writing gives in its true sense
the prologue and following three in
stallments.
Miss Mabel Montgomery as Jacque-
line or Madame X as she is known as
the play progresses, is one Of those
sterling actresses whose difficult and
masterful rendition are little
short of marvellous, and show true
representation Of the poor, degraded
outcast wife as she deteriorates from
a woman Of grace and beauty to a
bounded court individual, twenty
years after the opening scene. The
murder Of Laroque short while pre-
vious to the trial which followed, the
pictures amidst life of ruin and the
court scene of the last act, the son
OF the fallen mother pleading before
the magistrates of the assize court,
the room filled with witnesses and
spectators and the young son, Ray
mond Floriot, pleading for the life of
| his mother, though unaware that the
wretched woman in the prisoners
dock was his parent The reunion
of mother and son after the acquittal
] of the murdress and the death OF
the happy mother at the close of the
play-there we're few dry eyes as the
curtain fell on drama of beautiful
mother love.
One Of the largest and best audien
ICES of the season saw the Madame \
company, and though there has al
ways been a decided leaning toward
the lighter vein of entertainment
the play of deep plot was one vel
liked.

Uncle Toms Cabin.

The announcement that this famous
play is to appear is always welcome
by the people of any community be it
a great city or crossroads town,
for the story of Uncle Tom and of
Little Eva is one that has perhaps
never been equalled in pathos and
heart interest in the history of
American literature. Since the great
story that is admitted to have been
one of the most potent causes of the
civil war and the consequent liberia
tion of the southern slaves was first
produced as drama, it has been seen
at one time or another by practically
every American citizen. rich or poor,
young or Old and vet today it is as
popular, as largely patroniZed and as
interesting as it was when it made
it's first appearance. 1t is one of the
very few plays that have appeared on
the American stage that can be seen
over and over again and each time
with increasing interest for it is a
drama that has its foundation in the
heartstrings Of suffering humanity and
appeals to the great and kindly heart
of this mighty commonwealth of
America.

Stetson's Uncle Toms Cabin is

Uncle Toms Cabin. which will ap-
