Employment Of civil service agents in the ubtler activities of
campaigns appears to have been, if not an habitual thing, at least
q practice to which the Republican machine was addicted. Nor were
some Of the agents at all averse to being thus employed. In a letter
made public by the Commissioner one Of them says: 81 am deeply
interested in the reelection Of Gov. Hughes and shall pay my re-
spects of my own free will and accord to Republican Headquarters

BILL AGAINST BROWN

In partial report made late this
afternoon, the grand jury returned in
dictments against Joseph Samuels
and John Brown, colored.
Samuels is indicted for murder in
the first degree, the crime for which
he is held being the killing of his
wife, Essie, on the Seventh street
bridge on the evening of March3. The
facts in the murder, as far as brought
out in the coroner's inquiry, are fresh
in the minds of the public, and little
has been learned since.
Brown is indicted for assault with
intent to commit murder, the act be-
ing attempted in a South Third street
restaurant, and the victim was Mrs.
Ella Coon. Brown was the negro
cook. He struck Mrs. Coon with
meat cleaver about o'clock in the
morning, several months ago. Subse-
quently he attempted to commit sui
eide by cutting his throat.

When one is sentive to dampness,

alternative to most women seems to
be rubber soles. The chief objection
to such soles is that they are heavy for

il regarded as particularly fortunate
for Keokuk that these interests CON
template ownership because such own
ership would bring about the very
things desired-an improved and en-
larged service. 1t is regarded as for.
tunate in another respect. Few, it
any other company, would care to take
charge of the Keokuk public utilities
under present conditions. They would
be interested after the power from the
dam is available but not before, for
the reason that all prior investments
would be of little value. 1t is easily
seen that the conditions are. peculiar
and not at all attractive to investors.
Electrical conditions when the river
power is available will be almost en-
