 Authorized Affected.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 27-It ap- bearing that an extension of the ses- sion of the legislature is inevitable. to take care of the. great mass of business before the Senate and House, is probably responsible for a resolu- tion which passed in the Senate this morning for providing for dispensing with the services of all the employees of the Senate, including committee clerks, jauitors and pages, not provid- ed by statute. It is almost sure that a resolution to extend the session will prevail, and some of the members insisted that if there must be an ex- tension. it was in order for the Sem ate to economize as much as possible The resolution affects eight or ten employees.
 About the only bill of a general na- ture discussed at the morning session was that of Senator Miles, regulating the practice of optimetry in the state. The bill was finally placed back on second reading and referred to "a. conn mittee for the purpose of giving a clearer understanding of the provis- ions of the bill Some of the senators thought the bill might affect the sale of spectacles in drug stores or other places where they are usually kept 1t is a bill that has been asked fer by the opticians of the state, and is in- tended to limit the spectacle peddler, otherwise known, as a street peddler who is not capable of examining the eyes and fitting glasses to them.

Several Keokuk young men, mem
bers of the knights of Columbus, were
entertained by the Fl Madison order
of X. C's. at the Marquette auditor
ium Wednesday night. A dancing
party was enjoyed first and later a
number of the company repaired to
the club rooms in the building where
a luncheon was enjoyed. Those pres
ent from here we're: Messrs. James
Mccarthy, Marshall Browne, Lawrence
Ewers and George Finigan.
Another thing which the mass
meeting of last night proved Keokuk
could use an auditorium very handily
if the booster spirit continues as il
should. The opera house was en-
tirely too small last evening to afford
every one seat. Had the weather
conditions been more favorable, ali
opera house records of attendance
would have been broken. 1t was the
most largely attended mass meeting
ever held in Keokuk, according 10
many citizens. 1t certainty was a
rouser.
-Keokuk is to have an important
meeting on next Tuesday, when mag
mates of the Central Association
gather here for the annual mid-winter
conclave. The meeting will be held
in the Hotel Keokuk parlors and will
be of unusual interest because of the
fact that a new city is to be voted to

just as cheap as any Of the neighbor-

End A good, live corporation should
be organized for the purpose of ac-
quiring cheap factory sites, and offer
ing same to factories upon reasonable
terms. The older people will recall
how the Dain Manufacturing Company
at one time negotiated with Keokuk
for a location. They finally went to
Ottumwa, resulting in one OF the larg-
est factories in the state. The people
of Ottunwa bought a tract of land
of say fifty acres. donated sufficient
for the factory, laid the rest of it out
in town lots, sold the lots, and made
money out of the transaction.
The details OF this work must be
borne by the younger men. / have
been away from Keokuk so long thai
f am not able to give the names, but
it seems to me that young men like
James Huiskamp, Frank LeBron
Theodore Craig, Hazen Sawyer, John

character, should organize, and. set
ting aside all local rivalries or feel
ings of Jealousy, present to the work
united front, such as in the old
time gave Keolluk influence and sue
cess in all of her undertakings.
