pinch" thus acquiring cramped
style of writing
our experiments have shown aston
ishing results" said Superintendent

clared Mac, in his own way, as he
related the wreck story to a number
of friends at the hotel. mo more of
them for me, you can bet. Why,
when a man gets slight bruise in a
wreck he thinks he's killed until
someone lifts him up and impresses
him with the fact that he's all right.
Sitting in the seat with Miss Carter
was another woman, whose husband
was in the rear seat of the coach.
He was handled rather roughly and
for time thought he was killed"

Argument False, Says Elder.

The argument that the use of TWEEN
ty-five feet of @. rails absolutely bars
all other traffic in the City of Keokuk
is absolutely false. At the present
time, the Wabash Railroad. one of the
parties to this controversy, is using
nothing but @. rails in going into the
city of Quincy. This not for twenty
five feet. but for more than % miles.
The council has decided that the
franchise will not be accepted by
them until the rights of all lessees

err railroad coming into the City of
Keokuk, to enter the union depot yard,

now have. but that those yards and
the entrance to them, shall be abso-
lutely free to any railroad that wishes
to enter the City of Keolsuk The
present agitation has been raised not
for the purpose of protecting the citi-
zens Of Keokuk, but for the purpose
of keeping the levee in its present
disreputable condition for the bene-
fit Of the Wabash Railroad company.

switch freight, that this switching be
done to large extent between Blon-

away with this switching, this throat
is moved, by the new ordinance, to
point below Bank street and the
