luck that none of them has resulted

are such rules strictly enforced but in

There is no city ordinance in Keo-
kuk regulating traffic on the streets,
but movement is on foot to place
one on the books within very short
time. Commissioner Of Public Safety
Gray has written to Des Moines to
secure a copy of the ordinance In that
city and has promised his influence
TO secure the passage of an adequate
law for the regulation of traffic here.
The agitation for more stringent
traffic laws here does not come from
pedestrians or those who drive horse
drawn vehicles as would be naturally
expected but mainly from the automo-
bile owners. Careful drivers of autos
are constantly in danger of meeting
with an accident as result of careless
| driving and disregard OF all laws or
safety. The three road rules given
above are the chief points to be con-
sidered in an ordinance and have
come to be regarded as the "unwrit-
ten law OF city traffic"
"A prominent business man who is
not only interested in the safety ele-
ment in the proposition but who
4 thinks that the present conditions are
a bad advertisement for the city gave
out an interview this morning ex
pressing his views on the subject.

Olive Tablets oil the bowels just

the best lighted states in the United
States and many cities of not more
than three or four thousand inhabi-
tants are beginning to see the advant-
ages of we'll lighted business center
and are installing the system. With
the big water power here and the fact

That the white way will be an as
sured thing for the city in the near
| future was the statement made by
Mr.. King today. He does not expect
an unfavorable opinion from County
Attorney Craig, although there may
be few changes in the stationing OF
the poles. These small changes how
ever will not affect the beauty and
artistic effects of the lights.
| Several estimates on the cost Of the
| system are being considered and
many others have been asked by the
leaders in the movement ana unit
they are all received no intimation O.
the price will be given to the press
but it is said that some of them ar,
extremely reasonable and compare ia
vorably with the estimates given b.
the cities that have established thei
white ways"
Opposition to the installation o

come and by the time the promoter
are ready to lay their plans out 70

thought that all the citizens of Keo
kuk will be enthusiastic supporters o
the movement.
Mr.. King says that men who hav'
opposed the system all the time ar
now coming to him daily and with

anticipates no further trouble in get
ting signatures for the petition whicl
will be presented to the city council
for their approval. In event of thu
