1t Is Probable that a Small Delegation
Of keokuk Johbers VIII go to
Des Moines to Hear
Arguments.
INTERESTING QUESTION
Is a Matter In Which the Welfare Of
Local Jobbers Is at stake-A
Table Making Few
Comparisons.

Keokuk Is greatly interested in the
freight rate controversy which is now
on in Iowa. Notice has been received
here that the interstate commerce
commission will meet in Des Moines
on Monday, October 30, for the pur-
pose OF giving hearing to the COM
plant Of the Iowa railroad commission,
with reference to the freight rates to
Iowa cities along the Mississippi river.
At the present time the freight
rates to and from New York and
other eastern points to these cities
are excessive in comparison to the
rates between these same points and
st. Louis. Quincy, st. Paul, ETC., which
cities are not in the state of Iowa,
but are about the same distances from
the above mentioned eastern cities.
The complaint is against these rates
which the compliments hold are I'M
just.
The complaint was made by the
Iowa railroad commissioners, N. s.
Ketchum, D. ]. Palmer and Clifford
Thorne and in their grievance they
cited examples showing that the rates
are excessive and cite tables to 1usti-
fy their position. Their petition asks
for fair and Just rates between the
trunk lines and Central Freight asso.
citation and the cities located on the
west bank OF the Mississippi river in
the state OF Iowa.
The hearing which Is to be held is
the result of this complaint and 1t is
thought that the matter will receive
careful consideration in the minds OF
the members of the interstate com
MERGE commission.
| The freight question is matter in
which the welfare of Keokuk ship
pers is at stake and it is probable
/ that a small delegation of local job
bers will go to Des Moines at the
4 time the case is given hearing. Only
1 last week John Dewitt, Keokuk's In
dustrial Agent, visited several lowe

situation throughout the state. The

SECOND FOOTBALL
GAME SATURDAY
Fort Madison VIII Play Here Against
Purple and White Eleven and
Second Victory is
Expected.
ARE WITHOUT A CAPTAIN
Successor to McManus VIII Not be
Chosen Until Formal Resis-
nation From Him is
Received.

The last hard work for the Fort
Madison game Saturday will be done
by Keokuk this afternoon, when
coaches send the purple and white
squad through fast signal work and
some scrimmage practice. It was ex-
pected that a meeting would be held
last night for the purpose of electing
Q successor to Captain McManus, who
will be out of the game for the sea-
son, but nothing Of the kind was done.
McManus has not sent in formal
resignation and successor will not
be chosen until he does so.
There has been more or less mis-
understanding about the two games
scheduled with Fort Madison. The
impression went out that Keokuk
played in Fort Madison Saturday,
while 1t Is just the reverse. The bat
tie will be staged at Hubinger park
and will be called at o'clock.

Fort Madison Ready.

FORT MADISON, Iowa, Oct. 12-
Coach Repass of the high school gave
his moleskin warriors another hard
workout last night. Capt. Ilette Is on
the sick list, but is expected to be
out for Saturdays game at Keokuk.
While the relative strength Of the
two teams cannot be told so early, it
is believed that the local boys will
have hard proposition to buck
against as Keokuk defeated Quincy
last Saturday SO to 0. Fort Madison
will also be handicapped by the loss
of RAIDER, who is down in his studies
Crowder is being coached for the po-
sition, left guard.
Last Saturdays game with Car
thage was really an aid to the local
boys as it served to show up their
weak points. The right side of the
line is being strengthened and the
boys are being coached on the inter.
ference which proved one of the weak
spots in the Carthage game. The
coach has. a number of new plays up
his sleeve which will be uncorked if
it becomes necessary.
Coach Repass has been assisted for
the past two nights by Walter Lee
who has been attending Stanford Uni
versity at Berkeley, California. With
two coaches and three more days Of
practice Fort Madison will present &
strong lineup with good chance fol
victory Saturday.
There is bare possibility that the
game may be called off by the Keokul
people as nothing definite has beer
heard from them since the centrac
was made, in which case Fort Madi
son will win by forfeit.

Killed Four Prong Buck.

DR.. George K. Stephens has
moved from the columns Of the
small game hunters into the rank
of the nimrods Of big game, for
last Saturday morning while
on a deer stand in the Bayou de
View bottoms, a big four prong
ed buck strolled his way and
while grazing at 70 yards from
the young doctor, was brought
to the ground by a shot from his
trusty Remington automatic
shotgun. DR.. Stephens was u.s.
ing a shell loaded with one ball,
which struck the deer in the
head back Of the ear and felled
him. The doctor was not many
seconds in making that 70 yards
and when he reached the spot,
the crippled animal arose and
tried to get away, necessitating
a second shot.
DR.. Stephens was too proud OF
his kill to stay longer in the
woods and brought his trophy
to Newport that day. The other
members of the camping party,
who have killed turkeys, ducks
and squirrels are expected home
the latter part of the week.

BEN ST.
From Jail On Bail Pending Trial
Of Indictment For Muir
der.

A large number of people from
the northern part of Poinsett
county and southwest part of
Craighead county, are in Jones'
boro, says the Tribune, for the
hearing of the case of Ben San
born on application for bail, on a
writ Of habeas corpus before
Chancellor C. D. Frierson.
Sanborn has been, since the
sitting of the Poinsett county
court, confined In the jail at this
place on an Indictment charging
him with assaulting a woman
last summer near Fisher, he
having been committed without
bail.
In order that their client may
be released, Attorneys S. R.
Simpson of Paragould, J. J. Mar
dis Of Harrisburg and Eli Nc
Gowan of this city, have made
application before Chancellor
Frierson asking that he be al
lowed bail. The application is
opposed by Prosecuting Attor-
ney T. H. Caraway, who will ap-
pear for the state.
Sanborn will be able to give
most any sort of a bond, if al
lowed by the court. There are q

are Of the opinion that the de-
PENDANT will have no trouble in

DOnaghey End OF Guberna-

Pine Bluff, Nov. 12.-Mrs.
William Michigan, wife Of 'Um-
brella Bill" McGuigan, who has
figured prominently in the re-
form movement at Hot Springs,
was somewhat embarrassed yes
terday while reading paper be-
fore the state convention of the
Women's Christian Temperance
Union, in session here, when
Mrs. Lula A. Maxwell of Little
Rock, president of the state or
ganization. arose, interrupted
her and informed the ladies that
the w. C. T. u. as an organiza-
ton was not in session to indorse
any candidate for governor, but
was fighting for a principle.
She said that the convention
was in favor of statutory prohi-
bition and later the state body
went on record as being in favor
of it. The interesting incident
which created a stir among the
many women in the convention
occurred when Mrs. Michigan
was in the midst of a fattering
tribute which she was paying to
Gov. George w. Donaghey, to
whom, she said, the delegates
owed a debt of gratitude which
we are called upon to acknowl-I
edge and repay to the best of our
ability" Mrs. Michigan was
permitted to finish the reading of
her paper, the president merely
arose to inform the delegates
that the w. C. T. u. did not gath
err to indorse any candidate, and
probably her statement was
made to nip it in the bud,'

novel. and thrilling experience
Sunday night, when returning
home from the 7::30 train. They
had turned down Walnut, when
they noticed a machine coming
their way without a driver. Both
ran into the alley to the rear of
the Standard Grocer Company
but the machine turned in
after them and ran down Mr..
Bishop, who received several
scratches and bruises.
Mr.. Bishop is large and portly
enough to stop an ordinary au-
tomobile and managed to do so
in this case, but not from choice
however, as his getaway was
not sufficiently fast to escape the
on-coming machine. Mrs. Bish-
Op was naturally very much
frightened, for who wouldn't be
when chased down by one Of
these gasoline propelled affairs.
Both escaped any serious MUIR
les and are congratulating them
selvs the experience was no
worse.
The automobile is a coupe af-
fair owned by DR.. Neal Of Au-
vergne and was being worked
upon by Mr.. Bayles, who had
about given up trying to start it,
when the machine started off,
without anyone at the steering
wheel.

Sunday AT The Tent.

Despite the bitter cold Sunday
the gospel tent had about all it
could hold at the afternoon and
evening service.
At the three o'clock service
Evangelist Burke preached to
men only and to most of the big
crowd it was a service that will
Iinger long in the memories of
those who heard it. At this ser
vice Mr.. Burke told in dramat-
ic way the story of his life, which
reads like book. He pictured
himself as the prodigal son of a
well-to-do farmer in the state
of Texas, who left home in his
young manhood, accumulated a
fortune, but by dissipation of all
kinds, which he considered was
having good time, he lost his
wealth and was forced to beg
from door to door, slept in the
streets and alleys at night and
was as vile and wretched a sin
ner as ever lived, who had lost
all his hope. But in the midst
of all this suffering of cold and
hunger, which he brought upon
himself, his mothers prayers
came to him and the prodigal
came to himself and went back
to his fathers house where ne
was received and blessed. The
service had splendid results, for
many pledged themselves TO live
a better life.
At 7:30 Rev. Burke preached
one of his best sermons on The
fool hath said in his heart, there
is no Cod" and the speaker told
the truth in all his illustrations,
which were to the point and very
forceful.
1t is a good thing to be at the
appointed place of worship anc
those who stay away from this
union meeting are missing
treat in the way of pure gospe
sermons.
Charlie, the boy who keeps
the fires going and the stoves
red, is serving the Lord in thu
way and no one will ever be cox
in the big tent.

Walt0n-D Darling Wedding.

A wedding of much interest
was quietly solemnized Sunday
evening at 8 o'clock at the home
of Mrs. L. A. Darling on Main
street when her daughter, Miss
BERTHE Darling, became the
bride of Mr.. Charles H. Walton.
Rev. j. F. Mckenzie of the Pres
byterian church performed the
impressive ceremony in the pres
ence of the family and a few
neighbor friends.
The bride wore a stylish tail
ored suit of white serge, with
gloves and shoes to match and
carried an arm bouquet of white
carnations.
Shortly after the ceremony
Mr.. and Mrs. Walton went to
their newly furnished home on
Hazel street, where everything
was in readiness for housekeep-
ing and where they are now at
home to their friends.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Walton
have been raised in our city and
have a large circle of friends
who join the Independent in
wishing for them a happy we'd

Those who witnessed the cere-
mony were Mr.. and Mrs. William

The statement of Mrs. McGui-
gan that Gov. Donaghey had al
ways been for prohibition was
resented by several Of the dele
gates in a heated discussion that
followed the reading Of the pa
per, and in which many dele

that Gov. Donaghey had not al

had only recently 'fopped" to
the prohibition side. Mrs. Nc
