The moment Mr. Fanshaw and
Jeanne emerged upon the deck they
heard the sound of oars beneath them,
the boats in which the shore party
had set out, pulling up alongside the
accommodation ladder. Three men
were In it, two of the crew and Tom
Fanshaw.
What news, Tom?" his father
called out anxiously enough to belle

you found anything? l hope there's
nothing wrong"
The younger man looked up. He
saw his father, but not the girl.

short there, his eye falling at that
moment upon Jeanne.
She paled little, for she had been
quick to perceive that something he
had been about to tell would not be
told now, or must be told differently.
But she waited until his father, to
gether with the two sailors, had got
the disabled man up onto the deck
and safely installed In an easy chair.

about breaking camp this morning we

was Hunter, and we were nightly
glad to see him, because he had stray

with US. But we soon saw 1t wasn't
he, wasn't a man anything like him.
He was a queer, slouching, shutting
creature, dressed in skins. and he
came up in hesitating way, as If he

REFUSES TO BE
WRESTLING GOAT
Mahmout is Willing to Butt in But

Gotch and then let the winner meet

we refuse to be the catspaw to pull
chestnuts out Of the FIRE for Gotch any
longer. We are getting in bad with

IBy Frederic C. Smith ]

CHICAGO. Ill, Jan. 21.-This story
is one which is given simply for what
its worth. 1t was related by mem
Der of the faculty OF the department
of geography and was not vouched for
by him nor were any names given
that might verify it. However it is a
new one to the writer and at this
time seems more than appropriate.
Possibly the prophecy contained here
in will some day be realized, at least
we may hope that TO some extent it
will be. The r,atter Of the Keokuk
dam having been commenced brought
forth the story and is given for its
own merits alone with no attempt to
verify It. Unusual in its elements, it
is singularly appropriate at this time
of awakening for Keokuk.
Along in the, late SOS or early 'ou's
two brothers living in the east were
preparing to go to the west to seek
their fortunes. They had spread be-
fore them crude map of the regions
of the west and central states. They
also had the data OF what trade then
was being carried on and tales of
men. who were returning east, rich in
wealth and tales of this new country.
One Of the brothers put his finger on
Fort Dearborn or Chicago and said:
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1911-01-23
Faith Regarded By the
Building Of the Dam
As Many Fifty Years Ago Damming Of Rapids Was Pre-
dicted.

Il shall settle here. This will be a
wonderful city 1t is at the gateway
OF the lake trade and the trad, of the
north and with Canada, as we'll as
with the other states of the union.
TEis will be the western metropolis
he concluded and waited for his
brothers decision.
The other man looked at Chicago
then traced with his finger line
through Illinois till he came to the
Mississippi then turned south to the
southeast corner of Iowa where Keo-
kuk stands. Here is my choice" he
said. THE travellers tell of mighty
rapids and some day they will be used
to turn machinery I shall settle
here. for here is the future metropo-
lis of the west, central state. On
this great river a great commerce will
be established and great power will
lie developed from these rapids
That was fifty and more years ago.
The brother who chose the lake city
has seen his prophecy realized. The
one who chose the Gate City has not
as yet seen his confidence rewarded.
But there is no doubt, from present
indications, but that he will, to some
extent at least And while he is no
doubt dead by now, perhaps his heirs
will have the pleasure OF seeing his
faith rewarded.

LIMBURGER CHEESE
AS CANCER CURE
Federal Court Decision Takes Fall
Out Of ouack Medicine
Preparation.

DENVER. Colo. Jan 23.-Limburg-
er cheese may be entitled to deepest
respect as delicate dish. but. as a
cure for cancer and contributory ma
ladies, the dainty edible was discred-
tied in the federal court here by DR..
e. P. Morgan, of Washington. ID. c..
testifying in the hearing of the gov
ernment's case against Philip Schuch,
Jr-, vender of proprietary medicines,
indicted for alleged questionable prac-
tees. DR.. Morgan is attached to the
government. pure food inspection staff.
He examined the admixture which
schuch sold in Denver to hundreds of
sufferers as cure for cancer and 9th
er diseases. He found 1t, he said, to
be combination of limburger cheese
and glycerine. The one ingredient he
detected simply by its odor. The 9th
er was made apparent by chemical an
alysis.
Schuch summoned several former
patients who are said to be ready
TO swear that the limburger and 9th
er medicines of Schuch cured them
completely, but the court ruled their
testimony out.

LONDON. ian. 23-It was learned
today that the man named Meldon
who gained admission to Sir Thomas
Lipton's residence at Southgate satur-
day and drew razor on the noted
yachtsman in an effort to enforce his
demand for $1,000, was lately dis
charged from an insane asylum
Sir Thomas, who owes his escape
10 his presence of mind and his abiI-
ity 10 humor his guest, is being con-
graduated on all sides on his lucky
escape. Mellon got an interview with
Upton on the pretense OF being a
Scotland Yard detective who wanted
TO lay before the baronet an alleged
forgery by one of his employees. When
in the library. the madmen drew a
razor and demanded money Of Sir
Thomas.

visitor vas thrown off his guard and
allowed Upton to 90 to a distant
room, where he teiephoned for the
police. Within five minutes. two Of.
ficers had arrived. and the man was
arrested and hustled to jail.
Upton and Meldon were seated at
a table when the officers arrived
arguing the question of money de-
manded of Sir Thomas. The mad.
man still had the open razor in his
hand and was repeating his demands
for the full amount.
