dren whose environments are similar
to those OF the Carey children.
The three children are Minnie, Rose
and John, children of Mr.. and Mrs.

dren realized his inability to properly
provide for them and short time
ago voluntarily agreed to permit the
Humane society to dispose of them as
best it could Mrs. Carey would not
agree and threatened to oppose any
legal action that might be brought.
Mrs. Carey finally agreed to let the
children be sent to the White insti-

INSTRUCTIONS TO
L|EU1ENANTS.
Committee Of Thlrty.Flve and the
Civic League Are Sending In
structlons for "clean-Up'
Day.
THE PUBLIC HOLIDAY
Civic League Names LIeutenants for
the Seventh Ward, and Prospects
for Successful Day Arc
Bright.
THE PUBLIC HOLIDAY


by those in charge of the "clean up
campaign, and with each day there
comes favorable reports from those in
charge of the work. The ladies' have
named their lieutenants for the
Seventh ward and all lieutenants are
being mailed instructions from the
committee of thirty-five, and the Civic
league, In order that the lieutenants
will know Just what is expected Of
them. The full text of the instructions
being sent out follows:
Keokuk, Ia, April 25, 1912.
All lieutenants:-
1t is evident that there is wide
spread interest in cleaning up the
city and 1t Is expected that much of
the work, especially the removal OF
ashes from alleys, will be accomplish
ed before the public holiday. You
have already been advised that April
30th will be declared public holiday
for the purpose of cleaning up. Not
withstanding the work that has been
done and will be done within the next
few days, 1t Is evident that there will
be a great deal of refuse placed in the
alleys on April 30th and plans must
be made to move 1t. The seven ward
committees appointed by the men and
the seven ward committees appointed
by the women have agreed upon the
following Instructions:
First-Lieutenant in each block are
expected to make all arrangements for
the removal of ashes, ETC., from the
alleys in their block and to have the
Accommodations removal as far as posi-
BILE On April Goth and the rest on May
1st. This will necessitate calling on
all residents in the block and having
them agree On SOME plan. Those who
desire may secure teams through the
keokuk Industrial Association, to re-
move ashes and refuse, if piled in al
leys, at Is cents for each full wagon
load Zone and one-half cubic yards)
second-The simplest and most
practicable way to have this work
done seems to be for the residents
of each block to agree to bear their
share Of the expense and to instruct
the lientenants to employ teams for
the purpose. The lieutenants can then
have the work done, pay the teamsters
and collect from the Individual resi-
dents, pro-rating the cost according
to the amount of work done for each
resident.
Third-As soon as you have agreed
upon plan for the removal of ashes
and refuse placed in alleys on April
30th, we would like to have you notify
the chairman of your ward committee,
stating just what method of procedure
will be followed in your block. 1t is
important that you give this notice to
your chairman as soon as possible. SO
that sufficient teams can be secured
to fill all orders promptly.
Yours respectfully.

Many of these men passed the ex-
animation for police positions but in
the application for the place they
agree to serve the city in any posi-
ton should the need arise for hem.
Commissioner Gray declared that 1t
was probable that some member of
the present force would be sent to the
Tenth street house, as 1T is the most
desirable place on the force, as a pro-
motion. Several men from the Sixth
street engine house are under consid-
Grafton for the change.
It is the intention OF the heads of
the department to demand and en-
force obedience to the rules made for
the conduct of members OF the de-
partment and fragrant violation of
those rules will be dealt with in fore
ible manner.
