WILL BUILD TEN
BARGES AT DRYDOCKs
Government River Engineer Adver.
tlses for Bids for Lumber for
40 Boats.

Major Keller, of Rock Island, u S.
engineer corps, has advertised for
bids for approximately 100000 feet
of fir lumber to be used in building
three steamboats,, costing $4,000
apiece. and ten 110-foot barges, at
Keokuk. In addition, IS barges are to
be built at Fountain City and Is
barges and three fuel flats at Milan.
The total cost will be about s104,000.
The bids for the latter craft will be
advertised for in few days. The rea.
son for giving them out separate Is
that should one mill get the entire
bid, 1t would be impossible to obtain
the lumber as expeditiously as would
be the case should different mills get
the separate bids. The lumber is to be
creosoted before being used Last year
the greater part of this work was done
in Minnesota, but this year there Is a
strong probability that the work will
go to the Pacific coast.

Other In the Area Way and
Grand Manager Was
Injured.

Just how near Manager Leonard c..
Worley of the Grand opera house
came to having his hands burned off
by electricity last night cannot be
told but in attempting to tear off a
wire that was sparkling in the cloak
room on the Main street side of the
theatre, Mr.. Worley's two members
were badly burned, the right hand,
severely.
Luckily for the theatre manager the
insulated feed wire which had become
crossed with a 500 voltage telephone
wire of the Home Phone Co., burned
in two while he was standing on the
stone door step which furnished a
ground for the full electrical force
contained in the wire and in swapping
threw the Grand head, out over rail-
ing three feet high which separates
the opera house from The Gate City

Electricity Surged Through Him.
Manager Worley was sitting in the
parquet of the theatre, watching the
performance. shortly after 10 o'clock
1910 to be exact-when an usher
told him a live wire in the check room
was burning the wood work and the
entire place would be afire If the
electrical carrier was not removed
Immediately.
Mr.. Worley, investigating, found the
wire emitting sparks and stopped to
pull it from the door jam, where 1t
was held in place from top to bottom
by small tacks. AS Is usual when a
wire is heavily charged, the current
refused to let go of it's ground, the

which was standing open.

Evening.
BARR SUBMITS FIGURES
Figures to a Fine Point the Cost Of
Maintaining Average Pupil, Civ
Ing II at s1.e1 Per
Week.

Taxpayers pay s1.61 per week for
every student enjoying high school
education in Keokuk, according to an
estimate made by Secretary G. Wal
ter Barr and submitted to the school
board at its monthly meeting last
night.
The figures on the part Of DR.. Barr
were not guess work by any means,
but represented a weeks work in dig
ging out costs. The estimate was de-
sired by the directors in order that
the tuition for outside pupils could be
fixed with some degree of accuracy.
The result is that the tuition was
raised from s.75 per week to $1.50, or
just double what it has been in the
past. There is new Iowa law which
permits pupils to come from district
having no high school to the nearest
district In which there is high
school, and the expense Of tuition
must be paid by the district from
which a pupil comes. In the case of a
pupil coming from another state he
must stand the expense himself.
