BIG VICTORY IN
BRIDGE TAX CASE
Continued from page H.

torneys Hollingsworth and Miller, the
city of Keokuk.
One of the interesting arguments
made was that by Attorney Frailey
wherein he referred to the inconsist-
eDcy that would be occasioned i'll the
event city were given the power of a
city under special charter, of the first
class and Of the second class, as
commended on the other side. Els argu-
ment here was well taken, it would
seem, and Judge Withrow in his rul-
ing, did not hold with Keokuk's attor-
neys in the matter, and though the
point was of little value for Frailey, for
the reason that court held that a city
had only those powers under it's for
mer charter. which gave it in Keo-
kuks case the right to levy this tax.
The bulk of the city's argument was
made by Attorney A. Hollingsworth,
who contended that the city's new
government was an administration of
the rights already existing, rather
than form that gave it rights of
different nature. Attorney d. T. Miller
summed up the argument for the
city and gave his theory as to the in
tent of the legislature. Attorney Hor-
nish spoke briefly for the board. He
had been called into the case at a
late hour in Attorney Stewards alb
sence
County Attorneys Office Upheld.
The ruling on the demurrer today
by Judge Withrow, which sustains
the contention as to law points, is OF
interest not only for the reason that
it is a victory for the city, but be-
cause it portrays the legal capability
of the county attorneys office of Lee
county.
When the controversy first arose
the board consulted its attorney, The
odore A. Craig and his assistant, e. c.
Weber Of Fort Madison. They held
that the board had no right to levy
/ this special bridge tax against the
city of Keokuk. Later the same two
attorneys gave written opinions to
/ the same effect The matter was TAX
en- out of their hands, however, and
Entrusted to private attorneys.
/ While permanent injunction will
mot issue Immediately, the outcome
/ can be plainly seen. The ruling on the
demurrer is substantiation of Coun-
! Nv Attorney Craig and Attorney Web
err whose previous opinions showed
the clear.sightedness with which they
act in dealing with questions pertain
ing to the county.

Envy Her Lovely Hair?

When you see woman who uses
this dry shampoo to dress her hair in
stead Of soap, water, soda and the like
you are almost certain to witness the
look of admiration and envy which
other women and girls cast at her.
The following homemade dry
shampoo certainly works wonders in
a short time on frowsy, stringy, oily,
dirty head of hair, be 1t man or wo-
man:
Just mix 2 ounces of antiseptic
vilane powder with ounces of pow
dered orris root. Apply a tablespoon
full and distribute through the hair
with the fingers. Permit to remain
several hours or over night and then
brush and comb out all traces of it.
The hair becomes beautifully lustrous,
fluffy and clean looking, often assum-
ing slight wave hitherto unknown.

1t is surprising how many OF the

a minimum quantity of hair on their
pates.
There are a number of teachers
men mostly with red or speaking po-
ilitely-auburn hair among the peda-
gogical visitors here.
Some take it as compliment, 9TH
ers as joke, that several of the
speakers at the teachers convention
have said number of times during
their addresses, that Keokuk is in
Missouri. And they were in earnest
about it, too.
Over hundred school teachers ar
rived on the south bound and other
morning trains, and locations were
found for them as soon as the enter
tainment committee made them vel
come.
Pennington and several other near
by towns were represented in some
instances by eight to a dozen teach
erS.
The matter of feeding the vast as
semblage of educators has been sat
isfactorily attended to. Several OF
the church societies of the city, the

are looking after the visitors in an
attentive and indulgnt way
