the greatest progress will be made in

Judge Refter First.
Owing to the fact that Judge v. s.
Reiter is now In charge OF the Lake
superior court. 1t is expected that he
will be given the privilege, by the
common consent of the other two
judges. OF taking up any department
of court work that he elects. Those
who are close to Judge Reiter say that
very likely he viii try the civil court
cases and attend to the probate work.
There have already been a great
many applicants for the new positions
that will be created as a result OF the
appointment OF the two extra judges.
Roscoe Hemstock is understood to have
applied for the position of assistant
deputy clerk. 1t is believed. however,
that Clerk Shortridge will merely en-
ploy an extra clerk at small salary
for the purpose of swearing in the wit
nesses and the jurors. This position
will not pay much and would not be
attractive to the average young man.

porters and the bailiffs is said to be In

DON'T YELL WHOA
At AUT0--S|NT0N
keokuk Man Found Out This After
noon That They Do Not Mind
Like Horses, SO he Advises
Brakes.
HIS LITTLE INCIDENT
Car Without Power, Ran Away From
Him In Court House Yard, While
onlookers Have
Laugh.

William Sinton learned this after
noon that to yell whoa at an auto
mobile will not stop it, much less that
Dig red touring car owned by DR..
Frank Brown and in turn by Wayland
Green, the only colored auto owner
in the city.
The incident was a funny one and
was brought about something in this
manner:
Mr.. Sinton was given the job Of
bringing the automobile from its
garage to the county court house
yard where it will remain until sold
at a sheriff's sale on September 6.
OF course Mr.. Sinton did not know
how to run it up, so he hitched a
couple of horses up to it and the
machine was pulled around to the
yard. 1t was suggested, after the
horses had been unhitched, that the
car be taken into the structure used
as covering for the men who break
rock, and Mr.. Sinton, with consider
able timidity, assigned himself to the
task Of plotting the big red devil
through the narrow doorway.
With half dozen onlookers SHOW
ing, Mr. Sinton guided the car safely
until it started down a steep incline
and then his trouble began. The car
started down with alarming speed.
Brakes were an unknown quantity
to the driver, so the best he could 20
was to yell, whoa, whoa, whoa
The result can easily be imagined.
The car crashed into one of the posts
and huge pile of rocks and was not
brought to stop until one Of the
tenders had been knocked out of
place.
G. A. Wright, one of the court
house attaches, who was one of the
main helpers, turned with a laugh and
said: THAT was d-m fool trick.
The auto will be the first one ever
sold at sheriff's sale in Keokuk. DR..
Brown is foreclosing chattel mort
gage. 1t is the same car which
crashed into the drinking fountain at
Fifteenth and Main streets, several
years ago.

That Only One System VIII be in
Use Here in Short Time /.
Now Believed to be a
Certainty.
WORKING OUT PLANS
Reconstruction Of Overhead Wires
and Poles by Telephone Co.,
and Stone q Webster
Concern.

The elimination Of the Mississippi
Valley Telephone Company from the
local field is believed to be matter
of only few weeks. Yesterday after
noon c. E. Hall, state manager for the
Bell, was in Keokuk and conferred
with Stone and Webster representa-
tives, as well as directors of the
Keokuk Industrial Association with a
view to determining several import
ant matters that have arisen. While
President G. R. Joy of the Industrial
Association was reticent regarding
the telephone situation today. the
meeting with the Industrial Associa-
ton men was for the purpose of
sounding out business interests, which
undoubtedly favor the single tele-
phone system. The absorption is of
little moment, however, for the Mis-
sissippi Valley has few telephones
which the Bell does not duplicate.
Work preliminary to reconstruction
of the overhead wires is being taken
up by Stone and Webster and the
Bell Telephone company and each
has men engaged in work of map
ping out the city so as to show just
where the poles and wires are. An UNI
satisfactory condition as to the poles
and wires now exists in the city. In
many of the alleys in which the wires
are carried there are sets of poles
for each company, making three in
all. BY the tentative plans called
for In. the reconstruction, the Bell
Telephone company will use one side
of the alley and Stone and Webster
the other. The elimination of Mis-
sissippi Valley poles and wires will
be accomplished by the changes.
1t was understood that the Bell
company conferred with the COM
missioners, but an official conference
was denied, although Mayor Elder
was present at the meeting of Indus
trial Association members No new
concessions are being asked by the
telephone company of the city, so the
commissioners say.
That the single telephone system
will be reality in a short time is
certain. The Iowa company has been
working toward unity here and the
reconstruction work to be done by
Stone and Webster make 1t expeG-
lent that the Bell make its changes
right away.
