out asking any assistance from the
white people. 1t is estimated that
about one thousand will be here on
this occasion and an excellent pro-
gram has been arranged for the three
days session.
On the same dates the Missouri
State Teachers association viii hold
Its fiftieth annual meeting here. when
1T is estimated that there will be
three thousand teachers in attendance,
Including the general officers and COM
mittees, For the entertainment OF
these visitors the citizens are working
unitedly. for they realize that it will
be herculean task to entertain and
accommodate such a vast multitude.
The various churches have been as
signed to furnish meals for the visit
ors and the citizens will open their
homes to afford them shelter. Moth
ing will be spared to make the edu-
Gators OF our youth feel at home while
they are our guests. For several days
past committees have been out secur-
ing rooms and other accommodations
for the visitors and they have met
with gratifying success, although much
work is yet to be done. More rooms
are needed and it may be that many
who have offered rooms will be oblig-
ed to still offer more and make some
sacrifices. The teachers expect to
pay for their rooms and board and
they should be well accommodated for
the three or four days they are here.

Water Fronts Discussed.

Mayor George Parsons of Cairo. H.,
as vice president of the Ohio Valley
Association, was called on for an ad.
dress. Mayor Parsons spoke Of the
Cairo water front, which is controlled
by private interests, of which he is
the representative. Mr.. yarsons had
said Cairo could control her water
front any time she saw fit to do SO.
10. c. Macy, superintendent of the AL
ton, Granite and st. Louis Traction
Company, OF Alton, asked Mr.. Par
sons to explain how the City of Cairo
could gain control of the Cairo water
front when Mr.. Parsons represented
the interests controlling it. Mr.. Par
sons replied he felt responsible for
what he had said. He explained the
only method Cairo could adopt would
be by condemnation proceedings.
C. F. Perry of Quincy said unless
the cities along the river adopt
means Of retaining their water
fronts and make them convenient fol

Or. Reid, Principal Of High School,
viii Accompany Athletes on
Their Future
Trips.
MONTHLY BOARD MEET
Only Matters of Minor Routine Ma
ture Were Transacted-Teaeh-
ers Can Attend State
Meeting.

The Keokuk high school athletic
teams hereafter will not be without
plenty OF chaperoning. Following re-
quests from parents to Principal Reid
that he accompany the football team,
the school board at It's regular month
ly meeting last night passed a motion,
ALLOWING the principal his expenses
for the Saturday trips. In the future
he will go along with the youthful
athletes to keep them straight
The meeting was a very quiet one
and only minor matters OF routine
nature were transacted.
Superintendent Aldrich read re-
quest from nine teachers for per-
mission to attend the state meeting at
Des Moines in November and from
three teachers to attend meeting in
Hannibal, Mo, about the same time.
Superintendent Aldrich said he be-
lieved it worth while to grant permits
sion to teachers in this regard. On
motion of Director Lutz the request
was granted Last year nearly 5000
teachers from over the state attended
the Iowa meeting. From keokuk
about forty were present.
! The superintendent introduced 8
chart which he believed was advisable
to purchase for the high school. The
Iehart deals exhaustiyeiy in questions
asked concerning young men by en-
lployes seeking positions. The chart
was ordered purchased. II was order
led to purchase certain music for the
grammar school The superintendent
twas granted the usual sums for the
manual training and domestic science
departments. The matter OF purchas-
ing new desks for the commercial
department was referred to the com
Imittee on supplies with power to act
Z report from the state inspector OF
buildings. who visited keokuk schools
last week was read. A few minor
Iorders were included in the report
The board ordered they be complied
with. Generally the inspector found
the schools in good shape. Much bet
ter than those in any of che river
towns.
President Hughes reported that in.
Iterest on floating Indebtedness had
been paid and the tax time warrants
taken up.
The matter of a chaperon for ath-
letic teams on their Saturday trips
was brought up by President Hughes
in behalf of Principal Reid 1t seems
that Principal Reid has received re-
quests from several parents that he
accompany the football team Feel
ling that the question was one for the
board to recognize, it was voted that
Principal Reds expenses on these
trips be met by the board He will be
THE spiritual advisor" while Mr
Wright will accompany the team as
athletic advisor.
The board, through the thoughtful
ness of Director Roberts, took proper
recognition of the recovery of secre-
tary Barr who has been indisposed
during the past few weeks.

We are in receipt of letters from Mrs. Eva Gaskins, BOA Madison St, Topeka, Kans., and Mir. P. H. Gavel- las, Wagoner, Okla, as we'll as many others, telling about the wonderful re- suits they have secured in the cure of their stomach and liver troubles by the use of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep sin.
 This remedy. as all readers doubtless know, has been before the public for a generation and is now being more ex- tensively used than any, other remedy for stomach, liver and bowel com plaints According to reliable testi- mony, it seems to be a very quick and lasting cure for constipation, indiges- ton and dyspepsia, liver trouble, bill iousness, headaches, sour stomach, gas on the stomach, drowSineSS after eating and similar disorders. It Is liquid with tonic effect, and so mild and gen. tie in action that child as well as a grown person can take 1t, in fact, 1t has no equal for children. women and old people.
 It arouses the flow of gastric juice stomach and bowel muscles to again do their work naturally. and in time medi- cines of all kinds can be dispensed with free sample bottle can be had for trial by sending your address to the doctor, for in this way Mrs. Gas kins, MT. Gavellas and many others first learned of the cure. Later, when satisfied it is the remedy you need. do as others are doing and buy it of your druggist at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle.
 pr. Caldwell does not feel that the purchase of his remedy ends his obli- gation. He has specialized in stomach liver and bowel diseases for over forty years and will be pleased to give the reader any advice on the subject free of charge. All are welcome to write him. Whether for the medical advice or the free sample address him Dr. W. B. Caldwell. a02 Caldwell building Monticello, Ill.
