REGULATE TRAFFIC
IS The CRY
Dangerous Conditions Force promi-
nent Men to Demand That Traf-
fIc be Made Safe
in the City.
FROM TWO ACCIDENTS
Lesson Is Drawn by Man Who Has to
Contend With the Present Con.
dition Every
Day.

Two automobile accidents following
one another closely have brought the
question of traffic regulation home
forcibly to many men in this city.
Sunday morning a machine driven
by Geo. Hassall collided with ma
chine driven by man by the name
of Weier at the corner of Third and
Main streets. Mr.. Hassell was COM
ing off of Third street and the other
man was driving down Main A crowd
watching the erection of steel at the
Stone & Webster building caused both
men to swerve the same way and the
machines hit. Neither one was dam
aged badly nor is either one of the
men blamed
This accident followed one more
serious at Thirteenth and Main
streets. G. R. Bartholomew was driv-
ing up the street when Tom Boltz
turned out of Thirteenth on to Main.
Mr.. Bartholomew sent his car to the
middle of the street to avoid hitting
team and to get out of Boltz's way
and the latter turned to the middle OF
the street to ,eyade buggy. They
met with a smash. Both cars had
their radiators damaged, steering
knuckles broken and front axles bent
and both are now laid up for repairs.
Neither one of the men will admit
that he was at fault.
prominent automobile driver said
this morning, "If the police do not do
something to regulate traffic on Main
street there is going to be an accident
happen that will kill somebody before
long. There is SO little attention paid
to the laws with regard to driving on
the right and left sides of the street
that even careful driver is constant
ly in danger of smash-up.'
THE other day was driving down
tie street and met three teams COM
ing toward me abreast on the same
side of the street and at the same
time street car approached. had
to jam on the brakes and stop within
about ten feet to avoid a collision.
Every day | am forced to resort to
unusual means to avoid a bad acci-
dent"
'Autoists are allowed to drive forty
miles an hour with impunity, no at
tempt Is made to regulate the turning
of corners OF, driving on the proper
side of the street, and horses ars
hitched to posts with the wagon pro

Keokuk people will have the first OPP
portunity of the season to enjoy one
of the great musical attractions such
as last season made Keokuk stand
out SO prominently on the musical
map. j. E. Baker will inaugurate the

This delightful opera will be stageo

cast of grand opera stars will be
heard at each performance. The part
of the count will be taken by Costa
and Borriss, that of the countess by
Zeppilli and Berry while the great
Italian tenor, francesca Daddi, will
play the part of the servant. A COM
plete string orchestra, every member
of which is an artist of internationai

SAW NO CAUSE FOR WORRY
Small Boy Pretty Well Satisfied That
the Future Was Not Likely to
Be Hard One.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says:
A Lakewood woman was recently
reading to her little boy the story of
a young lad whose father was taken
ill and died, after which he set him
self diligently to work to support him
self and mother. When she had fin
ished the story she said:
Dear Billy, if your papa were to
die would you work to support your
dear mammal"
"Naw!" said Billy, unexpectedly.
But why not?"
Amt we got a good house 20 live
in?"
Yes, dearie-but We can't eat the
house, you know"
Amt there lot O. stuff in the pan
try?"
Eyes, but that won't last forever"
It'll last till you git another hus-
band, won't it? You're pretty good
locker, maj"
Mamma gave up right there.
