BRIDGE TAX NOT
ASKED OF KE0KUk
Board Of Supervisors Of County In
Making Levy Did Not Assess Tax
Against This City for Bridge
Maintenance.
COURT EXPENSE HIGHER
Necessary to Increase Levy for This
Expense Two Mills-Estimated
Amount for General Fund
Is $s7, 900.

With the Lee county bridge tax case
Keokuk as against the county, the
board of supervisors in making the
tax levy for the coming year did not
include Keokuk in this tax The fol-
lowing levy has been made:
General state fund, 0.3 mill; state
colleges, or mill; county fund, GA
mill; poor fund, 13 mill; insane fund.
0.5 mill; county roads. mill: school
fund, mill; bridge fund, mills; sol
dier's relief fund, O.4 mill; R R. bonds
3.S mills; court expenses, 20 mills;
making total of 23.5 mills, as
against % last year The board made
a special levy of mills for court ex-
penses. which has not been levied
heretofore.
The estimated amount which will
be raised for the general fund Is ap-
proximately $4,000.
The expense of the district, superior
and justice courts is Appropriated at
nearly $4,000 last year, and a proba-
Bile increase of this expense in the fu-
ture. The levy for the general fund
being limited, the board found it i'm
possible to meet the extraordinary ex-
pense without creating this additional
fund. With the exception of the court
expense fund, the county funds are
reduced 1.5 mill, the levy for the state
funds remaining the same.

Miss Edith Corriea is pronounced
England's best rider, and famous upon
both continents. Special importations
in the way of all kinds Of new circus
acts have been secured, in conjunction
with long string of the pick of
American performers. Every depart
ment has been increased extensively.
The big thriller with the show this
season is the double somersaulting au-
tomobile. Others in the past have ad-
vertised an act which was claimed to
be similar, but this is the first real
and genuine mid-air automobile double
somersault ever accomplished 1t is
the most sensational of all the thrill
ers of the age. Next Thursday will
be circus day. The parade, said to be
the finest turnout any circus has
ever made in any country" will trav-
erse the principal streets morning Of
show day. This big show was recent
ly rebuilt and now represents the
best and newest of modern circus
building Every recently invented
idea to elevate circuses and give COM
fort to the patrons has been employed
in the work Of reconstruction.

ATTEMPTS TO DROWN
SELF; FINED So
Henry Uhlenbroek, Missouri Farmer,
Was Rescued From the Mis-
sissipnj River

sissippi River.
QUINCY, Ill. Sept 19.-Henry Uh-
lenbrook, a Missouri farmer living
about three and half miles south of
West Quincy, made couple of unsuc-
cessful attempts to drown himself in
the river Sunday afternoon. He was
prevented by fishermen and police
officers and was sorry for his actions
this morning.
Uhlenbrock had been to town and
took on a little too much to drink
When he started home in skiff his
boat capsized in the river opposite the
foot of Broadway 1t was at first
thought accidental, but later actions
of the man went to show that he tried
to turn the boat over. Sam Shurt, a
fisherman, went out after him and
brought him to shore and Uhlenbrock
soon afterwards made another attempt
to seek watery grave by jumping
into the big stream again, only to be
pulled out again by Police Officer
Timothy, who had been called there
when the boat capsized. When he was
gotten out the second time he still
expressed a desire to drown and was
taken to the police station, where he
was locked up on charge Of intoxica-
ton. He was fined So and costs in
police court and said that he was
through trying to drown and would
rot attempt 1t again.

her motto of never being satisfied

1t is not necessary to ask whether she
were the Marguerite of Goethe or the
ingenious librettists. This Marguerite
was the conception of Madame Nor

numbness in my hands and arms I'D to

swollen and the muscles go sore that
