A p,Artaansn Statue.

All readers OF the Three Muske-
'teers'' and admirers of D'Artagnan
land who does not admire him?) will
he glad to hear that statue is to be
raised to their hero. 1t is to be placed
at Gers in Gascony, which is perhaps
rather far afieid, but then D'Artagnan
was, OF course, q Gascon. We agree
with NJ. Paul Ginisty in the Debats
that the pedestal of the statue, at
least. should have a medallion OF the
charming " Bonacicux. H. Ginisty
tells us that D'Artagnan was drawn
from life. There was certain Charles
de Batz- Casteimcre. Seigneur OAR
tagnan, who played heroic part in
the wars of Louis XIV. and Dumas
took his hero from this character. The
real D'Artagnan fought in prodigious
number of campaigns and was en-
ployed on secret missions by Richelieu
and Louis, XIV. Finally he was killed
at the siege OF Maestricht, just when
his fortune was at its height. There
is not, ne think. any evidence in Du.
mas book that our hero ever married
But the real D'Artagnsn married and
made a sad mess of it, fer he had a
very Jealous wife. 1t is possible that
posterity would never have heard OF
this charming adventurer IL it had not
been for Dumas.

"5unty Pulls the Strings

10 the EultOT OF Inc Gale City.
There is one view point from which
the Water street track controversy
does not seem to have been consider
ed. No one has looked at it from the
dam site. For the past fifty years ey-
erybody in Keokuk has been willing to
sacrifice all OF his wife's relations to
further and promote the water power
project That spirit of sacrifice still
exists to a large degree. Everybody
knows who are the power, the money.
behind the enterprise. 1t is a good
guess to say that it is the same peo-
pie who are now operating under the
Proctor franchise, which gives the
Keokulx Electric Company authority
to put in side tracks wherever a
wholesaler or manufacturer wants
them and to haul freight cars any
where and everywhere, almost with
out exception, over the streets and al
leys of the city of Keokuk. l do not
believe for a moment that the ordi-
nance about which two citizens are
kicking about, has any effect to cur
tail or destroy any rights which the
Wabash, the I. p. G. W.. and the Rock
Island Railroad companies have upon
the levee, without their respective
consents to such interference with
their rights, but it would seem as
though it would be good thing for
the Keokuk Electric Company if the
Wabash and the T. P. & w railroads
could not land their freight in Keokuk
unless the Electric Company would
haul it from the bridge track up town
to an uptown freight depot. and up
town coal yards, that said railroads
and their coal dealing patrons might
establish.

eddy. In some respects. the track ordi
nance under discussion is Water
Power movement and necessity. Can
! it be that Buuty is looking forward
to business for the Electric street rail
way enterprise Of the power behind

the good faith ana integrity of the
Mayor, but we cannot tell what mas

Probe.

Bunch Of Trade Ter
sorists.

limited Press Leased Wire Service.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 6.-The
legal arm of the United States govern
ment today closed in on the reputed
elmer circle OF the alleged dynamit-
inn conspiracy. Thirty-two indict.
ments were returned here by the fed
eral grand jury which has been inves-
tigating the nationwide destruction of
property. More than forty men are
said to be implicated, due to the
grouping Of individuals In come OF the
indictments.
Conspiracy to violate the United
States laws by transporting explosives
on passenger trains engaged in inter
state commerce and concealment of
the knowledge of felony from the
proper authorities, are the chief
charges against the most Of the In
dicted men.
| Several individuals are also accused
OF personally engaging in the uniaw-
full transportation Of dynamite. No
names will be given out by the gov.
eminent until arrests are made. All
are said to be labor leaders who are
accused by the federal authorities Of
attempting INTIMIDATION in connection
with dynamiting outrages.
United States secret service oper
atiyes and William ]. Burns detec
tives are taking immediate steps te
arrest the individuals named in the
. indictments. Practically all of the
implicated men are said to have beer
under surveillance ever since the fed
eral grand jury commenced its investi
cation here on December IA, 1911.
From the standpoint OF the numbel
of men alleged to be implicated in the
conspiracy, the breadth of the terri
tory covered by the residence of thes,
men and their reputed operations, gov
eminent officials assert that the case
are the most notable in the crimina
annals of the United States.
The most damnable conspiracy i
the history of the country" was tn

Chas. w. Miller, who has had charg
of the investigation here.
