ARRANGEMENTS UPSET
G A. r. Committee Who Had Plans
All Laid for Reception Of Gov

Arrangements.

Governor Carroll will not be in Keo-
kuk Memorial day. At least that is the
way it looks at present, according to
members of the committee and of the
local G. A. R. posts, under whose
auspices the monument to the I'M
known dead was to have been dedicat-
ed.
The reason for the upsetting of the
plans of the committee is the fact
that the people from whom the mon
ument was ordered have reported that
1t will be impossible for them to have
the shaft finished in time for Mem
orial day and get it to Keokuk by
that date. All the arrangements that
the committee had made are complete
ly upset and new program will be
made up.
The chief executive of the state,
who was to have made the dedica-
ton address will put off his visit to
Keokuk until the monument is ready
and will then make the address.
Rooms had been reserved for him at
local hotel and these are said to
have been Cancelled.
At the National cemetery everything
was in readiness for the reception
of the monument. the foundation hav.
ing been laid and all preparations
finished for the placing. Just when
the monument, will be here is now a
question. but it is thought that it will
be several weeks.

was decided to dispense with the

LIGHTING RATES

Manager Walsh Of tho Burlington
Electric Company sxys re Is
Ready to Put Rates on a
keokuk Basis.
THE SUBJECT DISCUSSED
Commercial Exchange at Meeting Yes.
terday Devotes Considerable Time
to the Electric Light
Situation.

Burlington is very much Interested
in the question of cheaper light and
power rates. At a meeting of the
Commercial Exchange Of that city yes
terday reports from a special COM
mittee to secure prices from various
points and to gather information were
submitted and received considerable
discussion, Manager Charles H.
Walsh of the Burlington Electric COM
pany being present and taking con-
siderable part in the discussion. Ref
erence is made to rates in Keokuk and
other Iowa cities in the following
part taken from very exhaustive re-
port:
In Keokuk and Muscatine the rate
is 15c, the same as in Burlington; in
Waterloo 1t is 1870 for part of the
bill and &c for the balance; in Cedar
Rapids. 1870 for part OF the bill and
4. &c for the balance: in Clinton. 12c;
in Davenport, 10c for part and &c for
balance; in Fort Madison 1Oc; In Mon
mouth, H., 1890. Probably the chief
reason for the existence Of these high
er rates is the fact that the matter
has not been agitated and the chances
are that there will soon be change,
as the city of Hannibal is advertising
its low rate and calling attention to
the fact that after June the LIST light
| bill of So 90 in Keokuk would be s144
in Hannibal.
/ Mr.. Walsh. among other things, said
what Burlington wants to do is te
compete with Keokuk. 1t must have
the same rates He showed that Dav

to be local manager of the new CON
pany and said We must compete wit
Keokuk.
/ I'VE are willing to put rates on tn
