ADJUSTMENTS
At the Colonial.

Tonight at the Colonial theatre the
startling western picture, Her Last
Shot featuring Maurice Costello,
the famous actor
In northern Minnesota in the fall
of 1899, John Lewis, a hardy young
settler, located with his wife and
child in characteristic cabin of that
territory, is engaged in clearing and
opening UP farm. kissing his wife
and child, John, with his axe in hand
and gun on his shoulder, goes out to
fell some trees. The Pillager band OF
Chippewas, in open hostility to the
whites, discovers Johns absence, and
attack his cabin Mrs. Lewis holds
them at bay with her rifle and lays
many of them in the dust. John hears
the shooting and tries to reach his
cabin. He is intercepted by two of the
Indians, who try to shoot him. They
pursue him, and he makes tracks to
secure aid.
| Mrs. Lewis has made noble fight.
She finds she has but one shot left,
and decides she would rather use it
III the sacrifice of her babe than have
the child taken oy the ferocious In
dams. She tremblingly takes aim,
| fires, and then falls in dead faint.
| Her husband and the lumbermen
soon make short work of the redskins.
They burst into the cabin, revive Mrs.
Lewis, who. In a dazed and vacant
state of mind, tells them what she
| has done. Her husband is overcome
when he realizes the sacrifice she has
made. One of the lumbermen goes
over to where the child is lying, and,

GIRLS COLOR RETURNS
Was Pale and sIckly Las. Spring.

Every boil is worth five dollars,
is an old saying among people who
think that the impurities of the blood
escape when boil breaks.
But that is great mistake. A
boil is only sign of impure blood
and has no purifying power The only
thing to do Is to enrich and witty
the blood and the best thing for this
Is Vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron preparation without OIL
Other signs of bad blood are pale
skin, weakness, nervousness and run

Miss Alice Jones, bright young
girl of Richmond Hill. N. Y, was pale
and weak for months. She began TAX
ing Vinol and 1t not only made her
well and strong but also brought back
her healthy color. She says II like
to take Vinol as the taste is pleasant.
This Is the very best time OF year
to put your blood in good order and
build up your system, and we guar.
antee that vinol will do this. II II

Y.W.C.A. NOTES

Mrs. Antoinette Lamoreaux appear.
ed yesterday at her two appointments
and gave much entertainment to two
fairly good audiences. She is an at
tractive woman and most pleasing
and persuasive speaker.
Her address to the Sunday school
workers was masterpiece of original
thought, eloquently expressed in an
swer to several questions propounded
by herself which formed the founda-
ton Of her talk These were among
the questions: Where do your Sun
day school scholars live and what is
their home life? What do they see?
Who forms the ideal of these schol-
ars? Where do the scholars play?
She said that children grow like OBJ
jects they see. They unconsciously
drink in the environments that sur
round them. Where they live and
their home life has much to do with
their manners and their bent. The
ideal that they are laugh to place on
their pedestal proves much as to their
thought and aspiration. Then again,
the play ground forms an important
part in the forming of character.
These ideas were all brought out
clearly and beautifully by the gifted
speaker.
In the evening at the auditorium OF
the Young Mems Christian Associa.
ton, fair size audience was attracted
but not SO large as was expected and
which her notable lecture should have
drawn. "The Artist With the Grip
pied Hand" was certainly we'll worth
the hearing. 1t was mosaic of words
placed so artistically and with sc
much precision that they could not
| fail to form an address to please and
instruct the most exacting of those
who love the beauties Of blended facts
eloquence and logic. AS plain, un-
vanished story of real life, the career
OF the crippled girl would have ap
jpealed to the heart Of anybody but
told as it was with the deductions
drawn therefrom in the choicest bits
OF illustrations and persuasive elo
quence, it was a mastery triumph in
the speaking art and had the undivid
ed attention of those who heard it.

SUPREME COURT
/ DECIDES ARBITRARY
Recent Decision Of the U. 9. Supreme
Court Will Make keokuk
Shippers Arguments
Unnecessary.
ST. LOUIS CASE IS CITED
viii Tend to Give keokuk Shippers
the Same Rate as Is Now En-
Joyed by St. Louis Nal.
Collins Claims.

Attorney w. B. Collins Of this city
is the authority for the statement that
the decision of the supreme court OF
the United States given recently
In the case against the Term
inal Railroad association of st. Louis,
applies directly to Keokuk shippers
and will render unnecessary the hear
ing of more evidence before the rail-
road rate commission in Washington.
The case against the Terminal as
ISOLATION was based on the Sherman
antitrust law and charged that the
association was monopoly formed
for the restraint of trade, in violation
of that law. Six justices sitting on
the case declared that the rules I'M
der which the company was operating
was to say the least, unreasonable.
The rate question that has bothered
Keokuk shippers for some time is the
one concerning why shippers in this
city are not given the same rate from
eastern points as are other towns
along the river and south OF here.
Hamilton and Alexandria are given
the same rate as the st. Louis ship
pers but the rate to Keokuk Is raised
from four to seven cents. st. Louis,
Quincy, Hannibal and all of the towns
south of this city are given the bene-
fit of the lower rates and for long
time the shippers here have been
working with the Industrial Associa-
ton in vain endeavor to secure the
low rates.
All of these cities are from one to
fifty miles farther from eastern ship
ping centers than Keokuk and the dis.
elimination shown in favor of these
others has long been a sore spot
among business men here who are or
the opinion that 1t is totally unneces-
sary and merely shows the vagaries
of great railroad system OF combi-
nation of systems.
In discussing the arbitrary ruling
and the effect on the bridge traffic,
Justice Lurton said:
The practice of rebilling and of
making distinct hauling charge IS
an evident survival of the methods
which existed when the eastern lines
had no termini in ST. Louis. They
then billed to East ST. Louis and
there turned the traffic over to one of
the existing terminal companies, who
made theif own specific charges for
the haul to places of delivery within
the city. The practice has been con-
tinued after the reason for it has dis
appeared. The effect of this practice
of rebilling at East st. Louis and Of
imposing this arbitrary upon traffic
originating within 100 miles of the
city destined to cross the river, seems
to have been also applied to the big
coal traffic from the Illinois mines.

Has No Local Bearinu.

Manager John Dewitt, of the In
dustrial Association, was asked abou,
the case this morning and said that
while he had not given the matter
much attention, he thought he would
be safe in saying that the decision
of Justice Lurton had no direct bear
ing on the Keokuk phase. of the ques.
ton. So far as he knew, the only
people concerned were the Terminal
people in st. Louis. In his estimation
the question of rates is the same as
it has been for several weeks past
and the ST. Louis decision had no
bearing. whatever, on the question
that is bothering Keokuk shippers.
