BUCLE'S BLAST
Company Soldiers Arrived Home at
Midnight From Camp Bishop
Where They Have Been
Ten Days.
HAD A FINE TIME
Experiences Were Many and Nothing
Was Missed In the Way Of
"seeins tho
Town."

All but two members of Company
L returned from the ten days camp
at Ottumwa on the belated Rock Is
land train last night. Those two
stayed over for a visit with friends
in Ottumwa and Oskaloosa.
In telling about the experience and
outing today, those members of the
military company on being asked
what kind Of time they had, voted
it to be the one big event OF their
lives. I'VE surely had time" said
one, with lot of stress on the article
"a" We got to go into Ottumwa
every night. Just as long as we be-
haved ourselves there was no kick.
There were provost guards stationed
around the town so we had to be
good The Ottumwa bunch thought
they were going to do us up Tues
day night. but we were ready for
them, and when they came sneahng
into the tents and lighting matches,
they got away quick after they saw
our forces"
1t was an experience "and a half
for many of the young Keokuk sold
iers, the camp at Ottumwa. Several
of the "old heads" have been through
1t, but the outing was one of enjoy
ment as well as instruction for those
who attended.

APPENDICITIS IS
FASHIONABLE AGAIN
There Were Twenty-Five Deaths In
July From This Disease
Heat Had Its Effect.

The unprecedented heat wave Of
last July was responsible for forty
eight deaths in Iowa during that
month, according to the monthly
death table compiled by the state vi
tai statistics department. The July
table shows a material increase in the
number Of deaths as compared with
June. The total number OF deaths in
July from all causes was 1,756, as
against 1915 in June. The number
of deaths from alcoholism doubled in
July as compared with June, twelve
In the former and six in June. There
was an unusally large increase in the
number of deaths from paralysis,
fifty-six in July and thirty-four in
June.
Appendicitis seems to be coming
back into fashion, as there were TWEEN
ty-five deaths in July against four
teen in June. Thirty-one people took
their lives in July as against twenty
three in June. Mine accidents show
ed an increase of three for July, four
deaths that month compared with one
in June.
The Riddles suffered unusually
heavy in July. The month claimed
109 deaths from cholera infantum as
against forty-three during the month
of June. A noticeable decrease in the
number of deaths from organic heart
trouble is reported for July. There
we're al as against 1872 in June.
Deaths at the state institutions
showed material decrease, twenty
eight in July as compared with thirty
five in June. At the Soldiers home
at Marshalltown there were two
deaths in July and ten in June; at
the insane hospital at Independence
there were ten deaths in July and five
in June; there were no deaths in
either of the prisons for either month.
there were nine deaths at the insane
hospital at Clarinda in June as COM
pared with eight in July.

They Like Each Other.

Ottumwa Courier: Company L OF
Keokuk thinks Company G, their next
door neighbors, the finest company In
the regiment Monday when the
wind was blowing, they laid hold and
helped keep Capt. Schamp's tent from
blowing down, since there were sever
al women seeking shelter there. And
in doing this they let their own cap
tain's tent blow down. This comes
from good treatment because the G
boys and cooks helped this company
in erecting their tents and cooking.

Iowa City Republican: The bureaus
that send out chautauqua attractions
should parcel out the jokes. 1t is en-
barrassing for speaker to have an
audience litter when he starts in to
tell an original story in which he
himself was a leading parsonage, but
it is worse yet when some hard-heart-
ed fellow calls out, "Oh, we have had
that five times already" Another thing
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1911-09-07

that should be cut out by chautauqua
speakers is SO many references to
that sweet little woman" at home.
No doubt all chautauqua speakers
have sweet little women at home or
somewhere else, but that should be
taken for granted and the wives left
to do the home drudgery without hav-
ing their husbands Dragging about it.

Bad Night on the Water.

Bad Night on the Water.
The steamer Black Hawk coming
south from Burlington last night,
tied up at Montrose and remained
there until morning without coming
to Keokuk. The rain and wind were
too strong for the boat to run in
safety.
1t was nearly midnight when the
steamer Keokuk arrived from Quincy
The boat got its nose in the storm
between Canton and Warsaw on the
UP trip and had to tie up until the
heavy weather abated.
The steamer Dubuque arrived here
at 2 o'clock this morning from the
south. The boat was tied up below
Quincy on account of wind and rain.
The small craft in the government
canal and along the river bank, were
lashed about with fury by the storm,
during Its existence.
