To Prohibit Mixed Marriage.

Washington. Dec. II. Repre-
sentative Roddenberry Of Geor
gia, speaking late yesterday in
favor of a resolution he intro,
duced to prohibit intermarriage
between whites and negroes,
predicted that the present legaI
sanction of mixed marriages
eventually will bring this country
to a conflict.
He deplored the legal proceed
ure under which "a brown.hued.
black skinned. thick-lipped, bru-
tal-hearted African can walk in
to an Office of the law and de-
maud an edict granting him le-
gal marriage with white wo-
man"
No brutality, infamy or deg
radiation in all the days Of South
ern slavery, " he continued,
possessed such villainous char
acteristics and atrocious qualities
as the permission of that mar
ria9e by the laws of this coun-
try.

SANTA FE MAY
ENTER BURLINGTON
Road Said to be Contemplating Run
From Lon1ax, ILL.,, In That
Direction.

The Burlington Post says: The
Santa Fe road is preparing to build
into Burlington from Mr.. Loves ne "
city, eleven miles south of here. Sur
veyors have been at work for several
weeks locating the line. The survey
starts from the Santa Fe depot at Lo-
max and comes up the bottoms on the
river side Of the c., B. & @. track. The
survey runs out at point almost di-
rectly east Of the Carthage Lake
club house
The concern making this survey is
the General Construction company of
Davenport. Iowa, and while it is diff
ficult to obtain accurate information
concerning it, the opinion seems to
be that. the Santa Fe road is having
the survey made in order to run a
branch line to Burlington. This would
have to include new bridge, as the
present c., B. & @. bridge is convey
ing all the traffic at present 1t can
accommodate.
Another version of the matter is
that the line will be built by the Mus
catine North and South road, which
desires connection with the Santa
Fe. 1t will be very expensive piece
of road to build, as the ground is low
and will have to be filled.
The promoters of the new city are
naturally not little elated over the
chance of securing another railroad
as they already have the best of ship.

Most everybody IN Keokuk heard

Sebastian Goetz at 2O27 Des Moines

From all appearances the lightning
came down the flue tearing the brick
and mortar into smithereens, leaving
a big hole in the house at the bot.
tom of the flue and passing over to
the Twenty first street side where it
made another stable hole for an
exit.
