They were unable to capture the as

1t is suggested that if the party
who thinks tn Keokuk police force

his convictions.
DIR. H. A. Gray, the physician who
responded to the call to attend Henley

informed the reporters concerning the
answering of the call.

will be near Suburban Garden.
Most of the cables and wires in St

will be about 100 lines of subway.
The right of way of the Hodiamont

Power will be furnished st. Louis

Stone and Webster Engineering
Company Closed With Albert
connable for Term Of
Three Years.
MAY BE MILITARY HOME
1t is Very Probable That Company
| Will be Given Third Floor
Electric Company to
Have Quarters.

A three-year lease for the large
Connable building, corner of Third
and Main streets, was signed at 5
o'clock Saturday afternoon by the
Stone and Webster Engineering Com
rany and Albert Connable, owner.
Work will be begun Immediately to
fit up the building for office use,
while the plans also provide for a
garage in the rear and quarters for
the local military company on the
third floor.
That the engineering company will
erect its own building when the pres
ent lease expires is the general opin-
ion that prevails, owing to the short
tenure of the lease obtained The
company will desire an improved
building for permanent home and
work on it will likely start when the
dam is completed.
According to the arrangement
which has been worked out for oc-
cupancy of the new quarters the cleo
trio railway and power company will
be installed on the first floor, the
engineering company's force on the
second and the military company on
the third. Captain Frank LeBron of
Company L was seen by Gate City
reporter Saturday evening and stated
that while nothing of late has been
said regarding the matter it has been
understood all the time that this move
would be made The military com
pany will probably be asked to make
/, any extensive improvements OF
changes desired, although the third
floor in general will be put into a de
sirable condition. 1t is we'll suited fol
a military home and the company is
anxious to secure it. The offices al
the corner Of Third and johnson
streets will not be vacated, but will
continue to be occupied as in the
past.
Negotiations for the Connable build
ing have been under way for the pas
week, but matters were not satisfac
torily arranged until Saturday TIL,
quarters will provide about the larg
est office space in the city.

Reunion Of James and Townsend Fam
lilies at Rand Park, Saturday,
Enjoyable Gathering.

EUJOydOlC SdNItCTlH9s
Nearly fifty happy reunionists, rep
resenting five generations, and enjoy
ing to the fullest extent, the good
things of life, held picnic supper
at Rand Park Saturday evening. The
large company of relatives took the
trolley to the park early in the al
ternoon and at the supper season,
tempting array of edibles, was dispos-
ed of by the merry makers, members
of the James and Townsend families,
both prominent among the residents
of this city and Clark County, Mo.
The day was spent by some OF the
out-of-town guests in seeing the dam
and city and the time proved one
which left lasting and pleasant mem
cries, both the function at the park
and the reunion of the several fami.
lies present.
Three years ago this month, a
family reunion of the same group was
held and yesterday was the first oc-
casion that all had been reunited
since then. Hereafter however, it has
been decided that each year shall
mark the passing of a social occur
renee of some nature. The reunion
three years ago was held at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles H.
james, 800 Concert Street.
Those present at the picnic party
Saturday evening were: Samuel

Transmission Line.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 19.-The Missis-
sippi River Power company has pur-
chcased all the right of way for the
trans2iission line from its plant at
Keokuk, Iowa, to Florissant, and en-
gineers are surveying the route from
Florissant into st. Louis.
The right of way is 100 feet wide
the greater part of the way, but in
places the width is $50 feet. Among
the incidental projects which may
be realized are new double track
electric railway along the route in
st. Louis county, and an interurban
railway from keokuk, Iowa, to Quin-
cy, ILL.,
The line begins at Hamilton, H.,
at the eastern end of the immense
dam, and the route extends. south
ward, parallel to the Mississippi river
to Quincy, III. From Quincy the
course is direct to Alton. From Ham
ilton to Alton, distance of approx
imately 100 miles, the route is in
Illinois.
The cables will be carried across
the Mississippi river at Alton to the
Missouri shore, and across the Mis-
souri, river from north to south at
Mullanphy's Island, about six miles
below ST. Charles. Thence the line
will run to Florissant The route
from Florissant probably will parallel
the ST. Louis city limits for several
miles.
Steel towers $50 feet high will sup
port the heavy cables across the Mis-
sissippi and Missouri. The clearance
| between the water and cables will
correspond with federal regulations
for navigation.
Two transmission lines will be in
stalled from Hamilton, Ill.,, to st.
Louis. One tower line will be con-
structed and later another will be
added. The current transmitted will
be equivalent to 100000 horse power
The Mississippi River Distributing
company will be the intermediary be-
tween the producers and purveyors in
st. Louis.
The power company will sell the
current to the distributing company
for SIS kilowatt a year, and the
distributing company will sell to the
United Railways and Union Electric
Light and Power company for SIS
Tire difference of 81 kiIowatt is in
tended to cover trans Mission and st
Louis expenses.
The power, distrib llilg l',ilway and
| jic!ilIng companies, wl,;.l Gle part Is
to the several contracts, are CONTROL
ed by the North American company.
The selection of site for trans
forming station and plans for putting
the current into st. Louis substations
at present is the chief engineering
problem.

INTRODUCES RESOLUTION
sEAToR FROM NORTH DAKOTA
WOULD PROBE WIRELESS
Postoffice Department Thinks Many
Attempts Of Promoters Come
Under Fraud Order.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Senator Nc
Cumber today introduced a Joint res
olution providing for the investigation
of all wireless telegraph companies
and corporations in the United States.
The investigation of these companies
is to be made by the secretary of
commerce and labor, who will report
the result of his findings to congress.
A similar resolution was introduced {
week ago in the house by Representa-
tive Rucker of Colorado.
The point of this investigation is to
ascertain if possible whether wireless
has reached a sufficient stage of eff
cheney to be commercially valuable
at least enough SO. to warrant the COM
panies or corporations in endeavoring
to gain subscribers to their bonds
through advertisements sent through
the United States mails.
At present, it is the belief of the
postofice department that the highly
colored circulars being sent forth by
some of these wireless companies are
of such a character as to be rated ir
the gold brick and bunco class and al
investigation by the proper authorize.
is deemed best to establish, if possible
the real value of wireless as a com
mercial proposition. o..

Can Be Overcome In Cases.

The influence of heredity cannot, Of
course, be successfully disputed, but
it can be minimized or entirely over
come in some cases by correct food
and drink. A Conn. lady says:
For years while l was a coffee
drinker I suffered from bilious at
tacks of great severity, from which I
used to emerge as white as a ghost
and very weak. Our family physi-
clan gave me various prescriptions for
improving the digestion and stimulat-
ing the liver, which I tried faithfully
but without perceptible result.
"He was acquainted with my fam
lily history for several generations
back, and once when I visited him he
said: If you have inherited n of
those torpid livers you may always
suffer more or less from its inaction.
We can't dodge our Inheritance, you
:. know
II was not SO strong a believer in
heredity as he was, however, and, be.
ginning to think for myself, I conclud-
ed to stop drinking coffee, and see
what effect that would have. I feared
it would be a severe trial to give 1t
up. but when I took Postum and had
IL we'll made, it completely filed my
need for a hot beverage and I grew
very fond Of it.
81 have used Postum for three years
using no medicine. During all tha1
time I have had absolutely none o.
the bilious attacks that I used to SUI
fer from, and I have been entirely
free from the pain and facilitating ct
fects that used to result from them.
1.-THE change is surely very great
and 1 am compelled to give Postum
the exclusive. credit for it." Mann
