RECEEDING WATER
REPORTED HERE
No Trouble is Feared If River Does
Not Get Higher Than Yesterday
Huge Gorge at Eddyville

At noon today the river was re-
ported as remaining stationary al,
fourteen feet. four tenths below the
high water mark Of yesterday. No
apprehension Is felt about the water
power works Notwithstanding the wild
reports of yesterday. The gorge is
still holding below Warsaw but it is
thought that it will soon begin to
move. No damage has been reported
from there.
At Eddyville and Ottumwa five
gangs of men have been using dyna-
mite on the gorge there in vain eff.
fort to dislodge the ice. Late. llst
evening reports came from there that
the gorge was assuming dangerous
proportions and if the ice is not soon
dislodged, serious damage will result.
Business men and citizens of Ed
dyville threw up a dyke yesterday in
the lower parts of the city to keep out
the water which will come If the river
goes any higher. All night long they
battled with the ice with no apprecia-
BILE result. The levee between Eddy
vile and Bridgeport is being ground
into by the ice and 1t is feared that
it will give way at any moment. The
bridge is still barricaded.

SMITH CORRECTS
IMPRESSION TODAY
Question to be Submitted to Voters
Does Not Bind City to Purchase
New Water Works Plant.

City Attorney Smith, this afternoon
said: "a great many people have the
impression that the question, Shall
the city of Keoluk own it's own wa
ter works plant?' to be voted on at
the election Monday, constitutes an
obligation to build OR buy plant at
once. This impression is radically
wrong and should be corrected before
the polls open Monday The question
was raised at the time the appraisers,
appointed by the water works COM
pany and the city failed to agree on
the valuation of the property. After
the appraisers were discharged the
mayor and the commissioners decided
that the question should be put to
the people for an expression of their
opinion If the vote is favorable to
the question, the council can at some
future time call special election to
determine whether the city shall is
sue bonds for the purchase or building
of new plant. If the vote is unfa-
vorable, then it will be assumed that
the citizens of Keokuk are satisfied
with the present service and the mat
ter will be dropped.

This Morn
ing.
WAS BORN IN KEoKUK
And Lived Here All His Life as a
Successful Brick Manufacture
err and Upright
Citizen.

The announcement of the death of
Herman j. Span will cause feel
ing of sadness in the hearts of many
who have known him and associated
with him for SO many years. For
some time he has suffered from
Bright's disease and has been con-
fined to his home, 1907 Concert
street. The end came at 3:15 o'clock
this morning.
Mr. Spaan was born in Keokuk, May
20, 1858, and has resided here all the
years of his Industrious and useful
life. Twenty-nine years ago he was
married to Miss Lucinda H. Mas, of
this city. He was a faithful member
of the First Westminster Presbyter-
ian church and also of the Westmin-
ster Brotherhood. He was an interest
ed and active member of Keoluls
lodge No. Is. I. o. 0. F. and of the
Modern Woodmen of America. He
was always earnest and energetic in
everything he engaged in, whether in
work or play. At social entertain
ments he invariably entered into them
with a genial and companionable fell
lowship which added much zest to the
occasion. Kindly and affable on all
occasions he was always welcome
guest and at his home most courte-
GUS and obliging host.
He was thorough in his training
as brick manufacturer in which
| business he was engaged all his life.
! His father before him was manufac-
turer of brick and was succeeded by
| the son. Many of the old and new
brick structures which now make
Keokuk thriving city were manu-
| featured in the Span yards. About
/ two years ago he suspended work at
his old, individual yards, becoming a
prominent stakeholder in the Keoltuk
| Brick and Tile company of which he
was at the time of his death one of
the five directors of that company.

GENERAL NOBLE
At DEATHS DOOR
A Former Honored Citizen of keokul<
in Times Before tho
War Of the Re-
bellion.
BRAVE AND TRUE MAN
Noted for the Deeds Of valor and
Kindness He Enacted During
An Eventful
Life.

Gen. John w. Noble who had been
sick at his home, 3043 Pine street.
st. Louis. was reported today as
being in a dying condition. Because
of his advanced age no hope for his
recovery had been held out to the fam
lily by the attending physician. He
is eighty years old. At the time
this is written no tidings have come
over the wire OF his death.
General Noble is held in high es-
TEEN in the memory of Keokuk people.
He came here from the east before the
civil war where he practiced law as
a young attorney. The war breaking
out he went out as second lieutenant
in Company c. Third Iowa cavalry,
soon being promoted to first lieuten-
ant, and no more gallant knight ever
drew blade. In a short time he was
assigned to the staff of General Cur
It's and was with him through all the
continuous fighting against General
Price through Missouri and Arkansas
He was returned to his regiment
about the time of the siege of Vicks
burg, engaging in that series of con
tests. On returning to his regiment
he went as a major, and after the
surrender of Vicksburg was in com
mand of the shattered remnants o.
the gallant old Third Iowa. Where
there was fighting to be done it seem
ed the fate of General Noble to be II
the thickest of the fray and he al
ways came out with no blot upon his
escutcheon. He was mustered out al
a brevet brigadier general.
Idolized by his men, General Noble
Iif these comrades were allowed t.
determine, could have been elected al
