Does it mean anything?
Yes, it means something.

Yes, it means something.
It means the time has ar
rived for the serious minded
citizens of Keokuk to get to-
gether and act upon matters of
paramount Importance to this
city.
1t means that the growing
sentiment in favor of DOING
SOMETHING should crystal
ize at once into a public meet
j ing out of which should evolve
! AN Industrial organization that
will meet the coming problems
and they will be varied and
of decided Importance.
| It means that this public
meeting should be held very
/ soon and the citizenship as a
unit, put its shoulder to the
wheel.
It means it's a time for the
knocker to become a booster
and the croaker to put on the
soft pedal and the town par
asite to loosen up his CONNER
cial joints and let a streak Of
liberality into his miserly old
soul. It may kill him but we
will venture the assertion he
will have a large funeral.
It means that it's time fo1
the placid, sleepy heads tc
wake up and stay awake
Figuring in town lots won 4
make a city; it won't get buy
ers for them; it won't do any
thing except bring disaster
The hour has come to do some
thing real and do it now
Will the public conscience
wake up or sleep on until it.:
too late? That's the question
for the public to answer and il
must be answered now.
1t means that it's time tt
awaken and then keep awake
the commercial conscience O
Keokuk.
Let's start something! 4
rousing public meeting out o
which will grow a powerful in
dustrial organization; a unan
; unity Of municipal action;
city of no mean proportions.

BREED rHEATER.


A Thwarted Vengeance, one of the
two great western feature pictures at
the Breed this week, is attracting
widespread attention because of the
excellence of its plot, brilliance OF its
photography and splendor of the seen
ery.s 1t As a re-enough thriller and
keeps the audience in a high pitch OF
excitement
An able second to this story is the
enc entitled The Cattle RistIers being
an American Pathe film, than which
there is none better. In it are shown
some remarkable views Of the rustling
Of cattle as performed in the west,
giving one an excellent idea of how
an entire herd of cattle may be stolen
without the niscreants being detected.
The Biograph story Of The Spanish
Gypsy is vividly told amid magnificent
~ tropical surroundings which for
grandeur and artistic Photographic
lighting Is. seldom equalled.

der rather liberal selling for New Or
leans. Liverpool and continental &C
count, but the market was supported
by leading bulls and rallied quite
sharply at the end of the first hour.
Any permanent point was arrested,
however, by the very weak develop
ments in the stock market, which
were followed towards noon by heavy
Wall Street selling and a renewal of
aggressive bear pressure by room
traders who have felt fol some time
tina the market was scheduled to
sell considerably lower, but were re
strained in their opinions by the ap-
parent strength Of the bull interests.
Prices gave away rapidly under this
heavy selling and failed to show any
later rally.
