he said were full of the finest kind or
baseball dope that will be handed out
to the hungry fans from now until
the G. A. playing season starts.
The manager of the Indians entered
at once into conference with Louis
Sterne the secretary Of the local CLUB
and from that time all that the hum
BILE representative of the press could
do was to play the part OF the limo

Queisser stated that he would at
once pick the men who will be asked

and would probably have the list

THE ELECTION AND kEokuk.

Mr.. Lotion expressed the broad
minded and correct sentiment when
he congratulated Mayor Elder last ev.
ening in The Gate City office and
wished him a pleasant administration
and offered his services to help make
it so. That should be the guide of ev-
cry citizen. The feeling developed
during the contest should be forgotten
to give way to the broader field of en-
deayor that will occupy Keokuk's at
tention for the next few years. Keo.
kuk will have other elections but will
not have other opportunities such as
are today presented the city. 1t is
characteristic of Keokuk to put up a
good fight for candidates for office
and it is also the record of the city
to unite for the common good of the
community when elections are over.
The Gate City has the most complete
faith that in the coming industrial de-
velopment united and effective CO.
operation will be given to any and all
movements directed to advance the
city's interests and that the admins.
tration elected yesterday will receive
the support that Mr. Lotion offered
to Mayor Elder
Last evening successful and de-
feated candidates mingled with each
other in good natured way and sup.
porters for the various candidates
exchanged pleasant repartee and there
was hardly semblance of feeling ex-
hibited. The ballots had decided the
election but the citizenship realized
that other contests were to be fought
and won and the old town intends to
press forward to larger victories and
accomplishments in which every citi-
zen should join most heartily and will
ingly.

OF w. M. MAXWELL
Died at ST. Joseph's Hospital After a
Six Weeks illness of Typhoid
Fever.

The death of William NJ. Maxwell
occurred at st. Joseph's hospital at
O'clock this morning, after an illness
OF six weeks of typhoid fever.
At first the affliction appeared to be
a very light case but the patient grad
ually grew worse until the sad end
came.
Mr. Maxwell was born at Cadiz
Ohio, August 80, 1854, coming to
Iowa number of years ago, and was
married November {, 1877, at Wash
ington, Iowa, to Miss Mary j. Wilson
In 1895 the family came to Keokuk
where they have since resided. Mr.,
Maxwell was a quiet, unassuming
man and was not general mixer with
the world. He was a trained Office
man. in which capacity he worked
most of his life.
The deceased is survived by his
wife, two sons and two daughters, ]
Hewitt Maxwell of Sioux City, and
Misses Alice and Helen Maxwell ant
Fred Maxwell of Keokuk. He is also
survived by one brother. F. w. Max
well of Denver, Colo.

The Associated Press papers car
ried a dispatch from Keoluk yester-
day morning stating a number OF
things, and giving the information
that the water power works here
were seriously damaged Sunday The
only thing the matter with the dis
patch is, that every sentence except
the last is known to be untrue by ev-
cry resident OF Keokuk, and the last
sentence is mistake that no Keokuh
resident ought to make. The Asso
ciated Press papers which used the
dispatch did much harm to Keokuk
in way and at a time which is pecu
liarly injurious. The Gate City
wishes it thoroughly understood that
| it has had no connection with the AS
ISOLATED Press for several years, as il
gets what is believed to be better
service over its leased wires. The
dispatch referred to is not calculated
4 to make KeokulS people value very
highly the accuracy of the telegraph
news given by Associated Press pa
pers.

AFTER ALL.

AFTER ALL.
How, after all, the ways that lie be-
tween,
The roads that were for you and
not for me
A summer pastureland, bloom
bent tree.
And twilight through mist Of amber
sheen;
For ofttimes are my footprints scarce
ly seen
But on steep crags above a stormy
sea,
Yet always in my vision tenderly
A little branch of blossoms and of
green.
And if only could that you might go
Ever upon a roadside where the
lands
Are sheltered, and the ways hold
no regret
see you down a lane where lilacs
blow.
The sunlight on your head and in
your hands.
While I remember, and you
forget.

lineator.

The river is still rising and great

Canton this morning by a special
work train, and the station at that
point has been abandoned Work
trains have been depositing rock and
ballast on the road bed day and night
trying to keep the track in place. Five
miles of track are reported under wa
ter from eight inches to four feet in
depth. The river bottoms are flooded
and many people are being driven
from their homes.
On the Warsaw side it is reported
that there are two gorges in the riv-
er, one just below Warsaw and the
other about opposite LETTERS Landing

could not be confirmed, however.
