HABEAs CORPUS TO
RECOVER CHILD
keokuk Man Bringing Suit to Get His
Child From Wife Who Has
Been Divorced.

A Macomb, H., paper has the fol-
lowing to say of the troubles of a
Keokuk man:
Habeas corpus proceedings were
commenced today by Chas. Smith,
former resident of this county, but
who is now living at Keokuk, Iowa,
to recover the custody Of son born
to him when Mrs. Price was his wife.
The couple formerly lived in this
county and in FEBRUARY, 1906, Smith
secured divorce from his wife, nam
ing John w. Price as correspondent.
and was awarded the custody of the
child. Six weeks after the granting
of the divorce she was married to
Price and they are now residents Of
this city.
In November Mrs. Price asked Cor
modification of the decree of di-
vorce that gave the child to Smith
for while the decree allowed her 70
visit it ten days in the year this
father refused and they abused and
insulted her whenever she called ID
see her boy. The court here granted
the modification of the decree after
hearing the evidence as gave her the
custody of the child allowing him TO
visit it but the appellate court re
| versed the decision and returned the
child to his care.
Recently Smith moved to Keoku,S
and Mrs. Price on hearing of it went
over and secured the child and
brought it here to live with her. The
father on hearing of it brought habeae
corpus proceedings to recover the
child The case will be heard before
Judge Waggoner next Monday.
What the defense will be is MOI
learned but it is supposed that it viii
be that the father intended to take
the child out of the STATE or that he
had left and went away. His claim Is
that he was only at Keokuk temper
arily and had not left the state in
tending to remain.

in the entire lake it creates, as in
low water, namely elevation $500
above sea level, Memphis datum.
The maintenance of this level of
$500 during periods of normal or low
water, will have the effect of keeping
permanently higher level of water
during periods of low water over the
territory north of Fl. Madison than
would exist If the dam were not in
existence. This result will be notice
able in the effect it has upon the low
water stage only and the effect will
extend as far north as eighteen miles
above Burlington.
In other words, new stage of low
water will be created for the territory
north of FIT. Madison, while the high
water will produce the same effect and
extend over the same area that it has
heretofore extended prior to the con
struction of the dam. when like vol
ume of water was passing down the
river.
The new permanent low water
stage will be approximately 16 feet
on the Fit. Madison gauge and 1910
feet on the Burlington gauge.
The company has already settled
with practically all of the property
owners below. Fl Madison These
properties will have a new high water
level.

same spirit of fairness from land own
ers as it has been uniformly met with
up to this time
In this connection the power COM
pany realizes that in some cases the
maintaining of the high level during
the low water season will not damage
abutting property. In other cases
/ the damage viii, be small and in stin
other cases there will be real dam

The Mississippi River Power Com
pan and the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad company expect to
conclude final arrangements In short
time for the construction of the Bur-
linston tracks from point about one
mile above Monuose to the keokuk
yards at cost of approximately $780,
600, according to an announcement
made Saturday, and the railroad COM
pany has suggested to keokuk con-
tractors that bids will be asked and
the work of grading commenced some
time In July, If 1t can be reached by
that time. Included in the work will
be the construction Of retaining
wall that will extend from the first
lock north for distance of 1000
feet. The entire cost of construction
will be paid by the Water Power COM
pany.
Much has been written of the plans
which have to do with the big work
that is before the Burlington, but the
I first authentic announcement was not
made until yesterday, and now the
railroad company is prepared to go
ahead with the work and will do so
in short time. Engineers have been
busy during the past few weeks and
will soon be in readiness to let the
contracts.
The plans which have been made
for the reconstruction work will per-
mi the Burlington to come into Keo-
krk without changing in the slightest
particular the Keokuk yards, some
thing it was feared would be necessary
when surveys were first made. The
grade from the north end of the re-
tanning wall to Main street has been
reduced to the maximum. which is
four-tenths, or crop of twenty feet
to the mile
One of the interesting features of
the construction will be the building
of the wall 1t will be twenty-six feet
In height and will be of concrete This
wall will be constructed between the
present railroad tracks and the river
bluff and while it is being built the
railroad will continue to occup the
olu IIdChS. DuIluS inc COuStIuCllOH
the new tracks will be laid between
the retaining wall and the bluff
North of the retaining wall the
tracks will be changed much less and
In some places it will be possible te
use the tracks as they are at the
present time. At the crest of the
grade, which will be at the north line
of the retaining wall the heighth O
the tracks will be twenty-eight fee
and from that point to the Keokui
yards this height will be overcome BY
the maximum grade.
The right of way for the new tracks
has been secured by the Water Pow

care of in the purchase of overflowe,

The reconstruction of the Burling

JOINT DEBATE FAILS.

Honorable John M. Allen ap-
peared at the court house Mon
day at one O'Clock pursuant to
an appointment made with Judge
Blount for that hour for joint
debate. MI. Allen got out of a
sick bed to meet his appointment
and did not know until he reach
ed the court house that Judge
Blount would not be here.
Vardaman's friends here tel
ephoned Judge Blount Saturday
] afternoon not to come. that they
did not want a debate here.
Judge Blount was telegraphed
that the appointment was not
called off and that Mr.. Allen
would expect him here as adj
vertised at one o'clock. To this
message Judge Blount did not
reply. Before the hour the
! court house was filled and quite
a number were forced to stand
through Mr.. Aliens address of
more than two hours. Through
oft the address he received
marked attention and he was
frequently interrupted by ap-
plause. There were a few la

He explained the secret caucus
and put all of those members of
the legislature who had voted
that the caucus was all right, and
no dishonorable means had been
used to elect anybody who are
now going around contradicting
this vote, in a bad light. He was
especially severe on them. He
called attention to Blount's re-
pudiation of Bilbo and denoun-
ced him in unmeasured terms
and appealed to his hearers who
had ever thought of voting for
Bilbo to follow Blount's lead and

While all regretted Judge
Blount's failure to keep his ap-

A GOOD w

Hon. Leroy T. Taylor. Chair
man of the Board Of Trustees of
the Mississippi State Penitenti-
airy, was in Tupelo Wednesday.
In conversation with Mr.. Taylor
he reports that the conditions on
the state farms are very salts
factory, that the %convicts are
being we'll treated and at no
time have they been cruely
treated or overworked. The
fare is good and wholesome and
the health of the ~convicts never
better. The prospects for a
crop are now good and the Board
of Trustees believe that this will
be the most profitable year in
the history of the state farms.
In reviewing the financial end
of the state farms, Mr.. Taylor
furnished us the following state
ment recently made to the board
byLawrence Yerger, the secre-
tary.
The statement is as follows:
From October LIST 1909 to June
Both 1910 the net cash profits of
the State farms amounted to
$244, 1876. 90. From June Both
1910 to June Both 1911. net cash
profits will be $256, $50. 90. To-
tai for 81 months. $501, 525. 90.
Mississippi was the first state
to abandon the convict lease sys-
tenn and her convicts are more
humanely treated than those of
any other state. and Mississippi
finds it also more profitable to
work them on farms.
The present management has
been entirely satisfactory to the
people of the state.

During the early years Of the

MIR. Allen began his speech. by
expressing his disappointment
at the absence of Judge Blount.
He explained how the debate
between Blount and himself
started. He had challenged Dr..
Ward to debate the proposition.
as to whether Vardaman was
honest, truthful, courageous, just
and candid. Allen asserting that
he was neither. Judge Blount
had taken the affirmative of
these propositions. Mr.. Allen
read the proposition that he had
made to Judge Blount at Holly
Springs and offered to make the
same proposition to any friend
of Vardaman's here or any other
place in the state, and read the
following agreement that he had
written out for Blount and him.
self to sign at Holly Springs or
which he put up his check for
$1,000. The agreement was as
follows:
y. M. Allen having made to
Major James K. Vardaman a
proposition to pay $500 to any
charity that Major Vardaman
might suggest as contained in an
open letter published by him to
said Vardaman on the 25th day
of April last.
Today Mr.. Allen proposed to
increase the amount to $1,000 on
each one of the propositions and
to pay the same without any
limit as to what should be done
with the money, that is. $1,000
each instead of $500, on the
proposition and is made not only
to Major Vardaman but to any
friend of his, and the Hon. |. 7.
Blount undertakes with the said
J. M. Allen to take the Varda-
man end of this proposition.
Now therefore, John M. Allen
and said l. T. Blount agree to in
vestigate these matters before
an impartial committee, and if
said committee finds in favor of
the said James K. Vardaman on
either of these propositions, the
said Allen hereby puts up a GER
tilted check on each proposition
of $1,000.
Now. in the event, the COM
mittee finds in favor of MAJOR
Vardaman on any one of these
propositions the money $1,000 is
to be turned over to the said /.
T. Blount, and il found in favor
of Vardaman on all of these
propositions, the $4,000 shall be
turned over to said l. 7. Blount,
and the said ]. M. Allen hereby
agrees to sign a public apology
to Major Vardaman and agree
that he has been improperly ac-
cused on any one or all of these
propositions. But in the event
that any one or all of these prop
ositions found against said
J. K. Vardaman, the said |. T.
Blount hereby agrees to publish
a statement that in his opinion
the said James K. Vardsman
has lied"
The agreement was written in
accordance with Blount's sug-
gestion but afterwards refused
to sign it, and gave Mr.. Allen
back his check.
Mr.. Allen convinced his crowd
that he wasn't in much danger
of losing his money, but he in
sisted that he hoped somebody
would take up his proposition
and get an investigation as to
what Vardaman said
the free pass, the contin-
gent fund, the Civil Service Bat
tleship fund, was true or false.
All he asked to establish what
Vardaman said was false was
for some one to go with him to
