Bailey & Austin In "T,e Top O the
World" Tonight at the Grand
Opera House.
Keokuk theatre goers like musical
comedy. One OF the best can be wit

house when the fayorite and versatile
comedians, Bailey & Austin, appear
In the Top O. the World" II
you nave failed to make arrangements

This musical comedy is something

will interest you from start to finish.
Only six dogs appear in the unique
collie ballet TOP o. the World"
which, with Bailey & Austin as stars
will be seen tonight, but there are al
ways ten at the theatre ready for the
dance. Two of these extra dogs per
form difficult feats and are stars. so
to speak. The other two are really
lunderstudies, to be used in case of
illness of any of the regulars. The
secret of the effectiveness of this act
and the apparently, almost human in.
telligence of the dogs, is due to the
fact that each girl. who works in the
collie number, devotes her time and
attention with a half hour rehearsal
I each day. to one dog alone and thus
has the animal under perfect control.
1 1t is tedious business training
collies. The popularity of the collie
temperament is, as every collie fancier
knows. that the dog will not forget
punishment readily. If he is whipped,
instead of coming around with tail
which wags a plea for forgiveness
and signals an immediate readiness
to forget, your aristocratic collie will
sulk for hours, and sometimes for
days.
! John J. Hayes, who trained the col
+ lies for the dance in the Top O. the
World" and who still has them in
charge recently said: I'VE have train
ed everything from monkeys to tigers
and have found nothing so difficult as
a collie. You cannot drive him. He
must be coaxed and petted to learn.
He learns much more quickly than
any animal l ever handled. but the
whip is useless. q light touch across
the paw or the ear may bring him to

May 90 to Fort Madison.

The Water Power company disturbs
the present road by overflow to an ex-
tent equal to about half the cost OF
thu new boulevard. But, instead OF
doing only what it must do, the com
pany at once agreed to join the auth
critics on making great driveway
and to pay most of the expenses itself
1t has made the surveys and esti-
mates required for the information of
the county supervisors and city COM
missioners
From Montrose to Fort Madison, the
present road is not affected by the
dam, and the Water Power company
has no actual interest in it in any legal
sense. But at the company Offices
here, while no definite statements are
made, there is an atmosphere and at
titude which suggests that the COM
nany will assist in continuing the

The cost to the county is practically
negligible, since in any event it would
have to make large repairs on the
bridges of the old road after the new
conditions consequent on the new

the supervisors to use the present
bridges elsewhere

Blown From a Root.

Aberdeen.-During a high wind
storm which prevailed in the region
about twenty-five miles south of Nc
Intosh, in Corson county, Alfred An
derson, homesteader, 80 years of
age, was blown from the roof of sod
shanty on his claim and instantly
killed. Anderson, with his brother and
a neighbor, was putting board roof
on the shanty when the storm came
up. His brother and the neighbor
sought shelter in house on an adj
joining claim, but Anderson said
behind. Finding he did not appear,
his brother went after hir, and dis
covered him lying dead several rods
from the shanty, where he had been
working. His face was bruised and
there were minor bruises on his body,
but his death was caused by internal
injuries, and it is thought his heart
was ruptured by the fall. The wind
had blown the board roof OF the shan
ty, and had taken Anderson with it.
Anderson came to Corson county from
Kansas last spring, taking the claim.
He was unmarried.

ing preference to settlers on the new
lands in that section. The road pays
but $3.50 day for day labor, but many
homesteaders are availing themselves
of the opportunity to secure work

of employment Conditions in the
newly settled country were materially
bettered by heavy rains list Saturday
and Sunday. covering practically the
whole of Corsor, Dewey, Harding,

too late to benefit grain, the rains will

plated securing leaves of absence from
their claims until spring now hope to
stick through the winter, with the
better outlook due to the rains and the
work to be secured FRI m the railroads.

BABY's HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six months
old he broke out on his head with little
bumps. They would dry up and leave
a scale. Then it would break out
again and 1t spread all over his head.
All the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over in red bumps and
1t kept spreading until it was on his
hands and arms. l bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time
He had 1t about six months when q
friend told me about Cuticura. sent
and got bottle Of Cuticura Resolvent,
q cake of Cuticura Soap and box Of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to i'm
prove. He began to take long maps
and to stop scratching his head. After
taking two bottles OF Resolvent, two
boxes of Ointment and three cakes of
Soap he was sound and well, and never
had any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuti-
cura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Cuticura Soap several times since
to use for cuts and sores and have
never known them to fail to cure what
put them on. Cuticura Soap is the
best that have ever used for toilet
purposes" (Signed) Mrs. F. e. Har-

DODGE New Road Law.

Mitchell counties of the
state are taking advantage of the priv
ilege afforded by the good roads law
adopted by the last legislature to
avoid doing their doad work under the
new system, preferring to go along
in the same old way. Brookings and
Miner county farmers have sent petit
lions to the boards Of county commits
sioners asking that tho law be referred
for a vote, which puts the matter OF
until the election of 1912, and conse-
quently makes the new road law in
operative until voted upon. The far
mers in this county attempted to do
the same thing, but the commissioners
declined to take the required action
on the basis that 10 per cent of the free
holders had failed to sign the petition.

Madison.-Mrs. A. c. Bartlett is ex-

on a tree in her yard in this city this
year. The fruit is beautifully colored
the same as the imported California
stock and Mrs. Bartlett says there are
several dozen of the apricots on the
trees all Of which are now ripening.
This tree has been planted for several
years and all along it was supposed
to be plum tree, as the leaves resem-
bled those of the plum very much.
It has never borne fruit heretofore
and the owner was very surprised to
find the fruit ripening so early this
year. There is no mistake as to the
nature of the fruit, and the fruit lists
of this section can now be said to in
clude apricots as well as native fruits.

RESTING Must Be : Business.

Rod of infection with tuberculosis"
he says, us not vacation 1t is a
twenty-four-hour-a-day job. True 1t is
period of idleness, but one of intel
ligent, directed idleness. The days
work should consist of rest; rest
should be the only business on hand
The light exercise, or hour of read
ing, should be considered as the re-
ward Of good days work, like the
evening Of slippered ease to the tired
business men at the end of the day
This recreation, however, should be
considered only as an incidental re-
suit of the patients work, not the
main object"

500 for the betterments and additions,
including wells, new 100000 gallon
tank, new pumps and engines, and
other improvements. The plant has
been in operation twenty years under
the management of private individuals,
and had the city constructed it at that
time Vermillion would now have a

ais. The city has been paying $1,000

TO SHARE EQUALLY.
NotarIes to Conduct Business in Com

NotarIes to Conduct Business in Com
mon at Fall Registration.
Dallas.-Haggling notaries will not
be the principal feature of the Rosebud
land opening this fall, as has been the
case in previous registration events.
All notaries in each registration town
must form into an association and con-
duct their business in common, divid-
ing the receipts equally among the
members. This is the gist of an order
just issued by Judge James w. Witten,
who supervises all public land open
ings.
Under this plan sufficient number
of public registration booths will be
provided in each town to handle the
business and no private notary shops
will be authorized. Authority for this
regulation was given in the wording
of the presidents proclamation, which
provides that affidavits may be made
before designated notaries." On pre-
vious occasions the word designated"
was omitted and any notary public was
empowered to handle the registration
affidavits.
AS an additional protection against
the customary swarm of notaries the
regulations provide that no notary can
get into the designated" class unless
commissioned before July 1, and at
that time an actual resident OF the
county where it is desired to operate.
On the basis of previous openings in
this section the Dallas Notarial asso-
citation expects to pull down about $15,-
900 in the three weeks Of operations
October 2 to 81.
