NEW YORK, July 29.--Today's stock
market was distinctly heavy with per-
iods of real weakness. There was
very little support until the decline
had brought most of the active shares
a point or more below Saturday when
some buying orders were released,
and the liquidation was checked. The
market appeared to fall Of its own
weight. as there was nothing In the
DAYS news apart from development In
the money situation, to affect prices.
The fact that the trust companies OF
the clearing house showed small de-
felt last Saturday was taken to mean
that the demand for money was en-
larging and that the shifting OF credits
between the banks and the trust COM
panies had been carried about as far
az it could go conveniently. There
was a quick advance in time money
rates. the feature being a rise OF "A

DAM WAS ATTRACTION
Three River Excursions Packed the
Down Town Streets Of the
City and Many Enjoyed
the Sights.

sHa & ~
Keokuk streets presented a very
metropolitan appearance yesterday
due to one Of the largest, If not the
largest, influxes OF excursionists that
has been here this season. The crowds
began to arrive shortly before noon
and shortly after the time three river
steamboats, had deposited their car
goes on Keokuk soil, the streets Of
Keokuk were literally alive with sight
seers. In addition to these who came
by way of the river, numerous auto
mobile parties visited Keokuk and
added no little amount to the congest-
ed appearance of the downtown
streets.
River excursions from Burlington,
Fort Madison and Quincy brought in
a large number OF people yesterday.
AS the dam has brought the large
Sunday crowds to this city since the
construction Of the dam was started,
the dam and works were likewise re-
sponsible for yesterdays large throng
of visitors.
AS the cribbing was finished, con
Meeting the Illinois and Iowa portions
OF the works, the interest has been
greatly itensified, and the rushing wa.
ter, which reaches ferocious proper
lions, proved new feature to the
dam and works. The out of town visl
tors here yesterday flocked to the
dam and works In great droves. many
of them not having seen the dam be
fore and having no idea as to the nam
moth task now being accomplished.
| The three steamboats, bringing river
excursionists to .Keokuk yesterday
stopped at the smaller towns between
the place Of starting and this city and
picked up many passengers from
those places. AS the dam nears com
pletion, 1t is figured to accordingly in
crease the balance of the present river
excursion season.

.tonda in the front yard of James

planted in the ground as other trees
and plants, but is taken up and cared
for in a warm place during the frosty
season. He has two or three others
planted in the yard which are flour
ishing but have shown no signs OF
blooming this season.
This banana will prove much of a
curiosity and OF much interest to
those who have never seen a banana
bloom or bear. It blooms at the top
and bears single bunch. The body
Of the banana Is formed by the leaves
or multiplying blades, coming one
above the other liko blades of grass,
and the fruit is formed much in the
same manner, the clusters beginning
to form at the bottom of the bunch
and continue to form until the entire
bunch is completed when the young
bananas forming the bunch will grow
on to maturity This Is about the
most fully developed banana perhaps
ever seen in Keokuk. The stock up
on which the bunch is growing is bent
down under the weight of the fruit
and may not have strength to hold II
! as It grows heavier, and until ripenins
time. Under favorable circumstances
as August has not yet reached the
calendar, the banana bids fair to pro
duce ripe fruit before the frost is or
the pumpkin, the time when all goot
bananas must cease from the idea o.
development and must droop and fadt
and decay. Mr.. Cameron hopes t.
have fully developed anC
ripened bunch of bananas this year
produced in his own yard.

COLUMBUS. Ohio, July 2e.Presi
dent Taft's political lieutenants in
Ohio today were working out a pro-
gram to meet the almost chaotic stu
alton that has resulted from Judge n.
B. billions withdrawal from the state
ticket as nominee for governor. 1t
was generally accepted among the
Taft following that an effort will be
made to put through the following
program:
The republican state committee,
meeting In Columbus next Wednes-
day, will receive Judge Dillons resig-
nation, and another meeting OF the
committee will be called ten days lat
err to fill the vacancy. By that time
the "bull moose convention will have
been held.
The substitute will be picked from
other than the gubernatorial candi-
dates voted on in the state conyen-
ton.
The man named will be straight
out Taft man, and will SO declare
himself publicly.
| The fight in Ohio will then be
waged on the Taft issue. Taft men
pointed out that the state central
committee Is pro-Taft. by at least
twelve votes to nine for Roosevelt.
AT the same time the Taft leaders
were willing to concede that their pro
gram especially that part of it calling
for q straight-out declaration for Taft
by the man picked to take Dillon's
place, would probably result in the
! placing of a complete state ticket In
the field in Ohio from governor dowr
by the bull moose party.
Taft leaders here were united today
in declaring that the Roosevelt forces
forced Dillon to resign. This wa'
done, they declared, by threatening t

PREPARING PLANS FOR
HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING

The News mas already called at
tention to the need OF a new and
suitable building for the county
high school and as the time APP
proaches for the opening of the fall
term of school, the requirement is
more apparent by the knowledge of
the large number OF eighth grade
scholars throughout the county. The
question is being discussed by citi-
zens active in county educational
matters, and it seems probable that
definite action can be taken at an
early date. With this idea in view,
Messrs. Willard and Duncan of the
school board are working on plans
and considering ways and means for
raising the money. 1t is probable a
$4,000 bond issue will be required,
and this matter will be taken up with
the Legislature this winter. The
matter was taken mp with Mr.. Eecles
on his recent visit here and he
heartily approved the idea.
As 10 the question of site, it a
been suggested that as the county
owns four lots at the corner of Ault-
man and Eighth streets, 1t might be
advisable and practicable to erect the
school building at that location. as
adjoining lots 10 give the requisite
space needed could perhaps be secur-
ed at a reasonable price provided the
location was accepted as satisfactory.

rest from the wearing strain of pre-

The two women left San Diego
three weeks ago, and passed through
Ely on their trip east, registering
over night at the Northern hotel.
