Keokuk City Council Adopts 0rdin-
ance of Sweeping Effect.

Keokuk, April 2O.-"Can rush
ing is now misdemeanor in Keo-
kuk, the city council having passed
an ordinance to that effect. As q
result picnic parties, fishing expe-
ditions and open air Qualifications OF
all descriptions are apt to become
dry affairs. The new drinking ordi-
nance is unique and also rather rev.
olutionizing in its effect. 1t reads:
''Any person or persons buying
any quantity of alcoholic liquors
and taking it away from the place
of purchase and drinking 1t at any
other than private or permanently
occupied house, or any person who
shall drink at any place than a IL
censed place or permanently occu-
pied house, shall be deemed guilty
of misdemeanor.
The first hapless victims Of the or
dinance were arraigned in police
court yesterday. Tom Crowel and
Joe Bastendorf were said to have
permitted their fondness for alco-
holic cheer to lead them into com
p'ications 1t was charged they
were regaling themselves with pal
OF "suds" in an alley just off Mair
street yesterday when they were
picked up by Police Officer Shep
herd and hurried off to Jail.

Davenport, April 20.-That Mrs

ing a total of s2,961.
1t was also stated the woman is
the beneficiary of a $4,000 insur-
ance policy on the life of the dead
man. Nothing was found among
the effects of the woman at the po-
lice station to show that this is
true, although Mrs. FahIenkamp is
said to have stated that she had
such a policy.
The district court will appoint
guardian for the woman, who was
taken to the state insane hospital at
Mt. Pleasant last week It was learn
ed that Waldo Becker would prob
ably be appointed permanent guar
dian by the court Mr. Becker has

that city.
A fragment of letter from Otto
Fahlenkamp was found in the cloth
purse of Mrs. Fahlenkamp. The
head OF the letter had been torn of
but one paragraph OF the epistle re-
manned.

"No legislation can bring back to

echoes throughout the civilized
world for the victims Of their culp-
able carelessness, recklessness that
sent hundreds of their fellow beings
into eternity, desolating homes and
firesides and turning this land into
house of mourning.
In this hour of our calamity We
appeal to the majesty of the law to
deal out retributory justice to this
guilty company to the last degree. .
Two more bills framed on the les
