there is considerable in the way of
new construction work to be done
there this summer. Instead of elevat-
ing the "K'' line tracks between Bur
lington and Keokuk, the engineers are
figuring on putting in a fifteen foot
concrete wall to protect the present
tracks and the inlaying country.
The civil engineers are putting in
stakes for the wall, but how soon
the work will be undertaken is not
announced. The elevation of the
tracks presents difficulties at keo-
kuk which the wall overcomes. If the
tracks were elevated into Keokuk.
track work would be necessary beyond
in order to get the tracks down to the
grade of the keokuk yards.
The 15-foot wall will obstruct the
view of the Keokuk dam SO that
passengers on the "K'' line Will not
get look at this gigantic piece of
work. The expense of building the
wall 1t is understood, will be met by
the Keokuk and Hamilton Water Pow
er Co.. as the railroad company must
make the change or the tracks viii
be submerged when the dam is finish
ed. The railroad company, however,
is to do the construction work, it is
understood.

JUST HOW BAD
IT is NEEDED
Some Logic In Plain Statement About
Lack of Hotel Accommoda-
tions Here at Present
Time.
FORTY TURNED AWAY
Gives keokuk a Black Eye When
There is Not Enough Room to
House Strangers Who
Come Here.

Does Keokuk need another hotel?
The Hotel Keokuk turned away only
forty people last night.
And yet there are some,' said a
we'll known hotel man this morning
to reporter, who says that the city
has ample hotel facilities?v
The situation is pitiful one
when strangers come to our city, seek
hotel accommodations and find that
every room in the house has been
taken. There is nothing else to do
but sit down in a lobby chair and go
to sleep, with instructions for the bell
boy to call you at such and such a
time 1t leaves bad impression of
town and it's condition that will
have to be overcome very soon. else
travellers will pass up the town and
we can't afford to have them do that
Above are a few of the remarks
made by the same hotel man in speak
ing OF the fact that two score of peo-
pie had to be refused room accommo-
dations last night at the Keokuk,
simply because there were no rooms to
be had. The big five story building
with it's eighty rooms and more were
filled and doubles" had to be made
in some of the apartments.
Yes, Keokuk needs another hotel
and big one.

When you take food into a stomach
that is tired and over-taxed the gas
trio juices do not form fast enough to
digest it properly. So the food be-
comes sour and at once begins to
throw off gases. Your stomach be-
comes inflated just as surely as if
you attached toy balloon to gas
let. Then the gases and foul odors
issue forth and pollute your breath
making you an object of nausea to
your friends. Your tongue quickly
becomes coated and you can taste the
foulness that is within you.
Now all this condition is changed
almost instantly by a stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablet. This little digester gets
busy at once-supplies all the digest
i've juices that were lacking -digests
the food in fifty and opens up the
clogged stomach and bowels 1t also
sweetens and refreshens the mucous
lining OF the stomach and bowels and
restores peace and content.
If you will give Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets chance they will not only
sweeten your stomach but also your
disposition and you will never have
another stomach i'll.
One grain of single ingredient in
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
5000 grains of food. This saves your
stomach and gives it the rest it needs,

DINNERS POETRY
WELL RECEIVED
That Beautiful poem on keokuk Was
Reproduced in "Line-o-Type"
in Tribune.

r. DINNER, the Keokuk poet, was
pleased when he saw his poem on
Keokuk reproduced yesterday In the
Line O'-Type column of the Chi
cago Tribune.
DINNER penned the masterpiece
about year ago but it took "B. l.. T. :"
a. long time to secure it, copyrights
protecting it from designing publish
ers during this period. DINNER was
employed for a time at Ponds and
now has a position with the Irwin
Phillips company.
The poem, as 1t appeared in the
Tribune, follows:
More About keokuk.
Keokuk is nice little town,
Keokuk lies on the hills,
a river flows around the town,
Green woods are on the hills.
The river is so wide and long,
AS rivers seldom are.
Big steamers drift on 1T along,
The river comes afar.
In summer time, the good old time,
A sky so blue, with clouds so white,
The river like silver band,
Fine steamers here do go astrand
A wanderer being on the journey,
Will wonder at the pretty place.
AS there is beauty, harmony
Around this little, lovely place.

streckfus in keokuk Today To Make
Arrangements to Get the Steamer
Sidney Out of the
Canal

The Diamond 10 line of steamboats,,
together with warehouses, wharf
boats, barges and all other property
of that company, now belongs to the
Streckfus Steamboat Line company
OF Rock Island, Captain Streckfus
having made full payment of the
purchase price to Joy Morton, presi-
dent of the Joe company at Chicago
last Saturday. Captain D. w. Wish
erd of Quincy, traffic manager of the
Streckfus company, received letter
from Captain Streclfus telling of his
visit to Morton in Chicago when the
deal was made and the transfer eff
fected. Streckfus today is in Keo-
kuk to make arrangements to get the
Sidney out of the canal on March 15,
when she will be started south for
Carondelet boat yards near ST. Louis,
where the craft is to be remodeled
and converted into an excursion boat
1t was originally planned to send her
to Paducah, KY, but the Streckfus
company are in hurry for the boat
and it is believed she will be finished
sooner at Carondelet If possible, the
boat will be started south before the
fifteenth.
Now that the 10 line belongs to
the Streckfus company, the latter
may go ahead with the plans for the
coming season and it is quite likely
that the list of local agents will be
selected. schedule outlined for the
Dubuque and preparations completed
for an early start. The Dubuque may
begin regular trips between st. Louis
and Keokuk early in April if weather
conditions are favorable and the ST.
Paul is to start a month or six weeks
later-the Quincy to follow some time
in June. 1t is hoped to have the Sid

DEATH OF COLUMBUS
JUNCTION MAN
Hilton M. Let's Died at His Home
There Yesterday Morning-one
Time in Legislature.

COLUMBUS JUNCTION, Iowa,
March Yesterday morning at five
O'Clock occurred the death of Hilton
NJ. Let's at his home in We south
part of the city, after an illness Of
several months, death being due to
heart trouble. Mr. Let's was one Of
the best known and most successful
business men in Columbus Junction,
and the news of his death came as a
distinct shock TO his friends through
out the community and Louisa coun-
ty where he is we'll known.
Mr.. Let's has been identified the
greater portion of his life with farm
ing interests, in which his progress
was rapid and success assured and at
the time of his death he owned more
than a thousand acres of land south
west of Columbus Junction, where he
was operating cattle ranch.
Mr.. Let's was made general manag-
er of the San Pablo company, of Old
Mexico and spent two years in Yucca
tan. This was a company OF Iowa and
Illinois men. AS general manager he
brought success to the company.
About FIVE years ago Mr.. Let's
bought land in Koehler, n. NJ. and
was the instigator of the first pack
ing house in the south, which was
called the Rocky Mountain Supply
company, of which he was general
manager.
4 Politically, Mr. Let's was republi
can, and served two terms as a mem
Der OF the Legislature, from 1898 tc
1902. In 1885 he was elected president
lof the board of supervisors OF Louise
county. He was then twenty-foui
years of age. His advice was sought
after in the councils of his party.

they being 1oxl2 and 12xl2. They are
securely locked together by long
steel spikes. When the power plant
is completed and the Mississippi river
is damned the coffer-dam now being
constructed will be some ten or more
feet under water. 1t will not be re-
moved. but will be left to remain in
place until rotted out and carried
away piece by piece.

Something Of Cost.

In building cribs alone for this
gigantic coffer-dam which is to har-
ness the water while work on the
power plant is going on, $4,000
worth of timber is used. The Golfer
dam itself will cost probably half a
million dollars.
Although cubic yard after cubic
yard of concrete will be put into the
dam that will extend across the river
from the Illinois side, the amount will
not compare with that which goes
into the power plant.
Work on this side of the river has
heightened out considerable. 1t now
extends for mile up and down the
canal The structures on the govern
ment property near the first lock are
being pushed and the swinging bridge
across part of the canal will soon adj
nit the passage of boats.
Over in Illinois.
Material advancement has been
made on the Illinois side. Concrete
is being dumped into the main dam,
although only about one-fourth the
amount daily that will go in when the
concrete mixer is working automatic
ally. as it will in the near future,
is being used now. Only one
OF the mixers are being used now,
and all of the mixing being done by
hand.
The force on the Illinois side will
not be as large from now on as it has
been in the past. When the machin
cry is all installed and everything is
working smoothly fewer laborers will
be needed. Many of them have been
at work on railroad construction and
detail of this kind. This is practical

which have been going UP.

MEETING NO OBSTACLES
Mississippi River Current is Not

Bottom Of Stream Smooth
Enough.

While Keokuk boosters have been
raising some fifty thousand or more
dollars to do great things with in the
future, work on the Keokuk and Ham
ilton Water Power dam across the
Mississippi, which incidentally was
cause for the whirlwind Campaign. has
been going steadily forward. Already
the Canadian crib builders, gang OF
men who learned their life profession
on the st. Lawrence river and have
been with Engineer Cooper for a
NUM- er of years, have much to show
for the short time they have been on
the job.
This gang is composed OF about
twenty skilled workmen, who know
nothing else than the method of max
ing dry places in some swiftly moving
stream. And to hasten their work the
water power company has offered a
bonus if they put in one crib day
during the next twenty-five. The
prediction is that they will have one
to spare when the, time limit has ex-
PRED.

The cribs in question are part OF
the coffer.dam which is being built
for the power plant. Already eighteen
cribs have been put in place. They
extend in straight line out into the
river and practically mark the north
line OF the power house when com
nleted. IT will be necessary to put in
only a few more Of these cribs until
the line is turned to the south. 1t
will be continued down stream for
some distance and then turned back
