Manager Worley says that the

as an extravaganza and that it is
one Of the best on the road. The pro-
gram calls for fourteen musical num-

burlesaue show is not the kind that

the musical comedy variety inter-
spersed with vaudeville features and
entirely proper for mixed audience.
II is similar TO the Murray & Mark

The Russians, for want of some

Keokuk people enjoyed just such

ovERToN AND KING GO
Mr.. King viii 90 to Chicago this
Week, while Mr.. overton Will
Remain Here for Some
Time Yet.

Rumors concerning the consolation
of the Standard Fire Insurance Com
pany of this city with a Chicago
company we're confirmed when the Of
ficers of the company returned from
Chicago Saturday evening.
The combination Of the business OF
the two concerns, the Central Nation
al Fire Insurance Company and the
Standard is a move towards better
indemnity and protection for the in
surfing public and the resources and
surplus Of the new merger aggregate
close to million dollars.
President F. c. Overton and Sec'y
n. A. King concluded the deal Satur-
day,thus giving to the policy holders of
both companies the same protection
as heretofore with added indemnity
and benefits only derived from the
joining of allied and like institutions.
The Chicago Record-Herald of yes
terday contained an announcement OF
the matter and letters have already
been mailed to over FIVE hundred
agents in this state only, advising
them of their new relations.
While it means the loss of another
KeokulS progressive organization, yet
Mr. Overton and Mr.. King and part
of the office force are to be associated
with the combination. Mr.. Oyerton
will remain for awhile to look after
the necessary work in the Keokuk
office while Mr.. King will leave al.
most Immediately to assume his new
duties in Chicago.

THE POT AND THE KETTLE
Young Woman's Suspicion of Stranger
in Train Results in Much En-
barrassnent.

She was not accustomed to travelling
alone. and when a. strange man took
the seat beside her In the day coach
she was annoyed. especially as there
were other vacant seats which he
might have chosen. To make the
matter more unpleasant the train sud
denly shot into a tunnel Hastily the
young woman remembered that in the
big. square pocket of her coat on the
side next the stranger, was her purse
Agitatedly she thrust her hand down
into the pocket to make sure her
purse was still there. Not moment
too soon. To her horror she felt the
strangers hand slip softly down into
her pocket, and in an instant his hand
had closed over hers. She suppressed
terrified desire to leap up and
scream. What was the use of making
disturbance In tunnel? People
would only grin, and imagine al. sorts
OF things. OF course he was only a
common thief, and so soon as the light
of day was again turned on him he
would withdraw his hand She then
could take another seat, and not draw
to herself the attention of the other
passengers AS the thoughts and
plans were flashing through her mind
the train emerged from the tunnel.
and the stranger turned on her a slow
significant smile Her hand was deep
down in the pocket of his overcoat.
