FEW CELEBRATIONS
HELD YESTERDAY
Keokuk Was Unusually Quiet, Every.
thing Considered, and Police
Court Was Light.

KeoKuk is getting to be very NOR
al city on Sunday. In addition to yes
terday being one OF the hottest days
of the present sweltering spell, 1t was
one of the lightest in police circles,
the most serious offense for which the
police were needed was nothing more
than a plain drunk. During Saturday
night and Sunday and Sunday night,
just four arrests were made, and
these were all charged with drunken
ness.
The arrests included two Mexicans.
To save breakage and wear and tear
on the tongue, the Mexicans we're
tabled John Doe" and inforgations
were filed against them accordingly.
The two others charged with intoxica-
ton were Charles Smeedy and Fred
Hall. and the entire quartette drew
the usual penalty for over indulgence

again is the fate OF those anticorn-
fed business men who, through let
tiers, proposed marriage to Mrs. Clara
y. De Forrest Bro IN.
All mystery surrounding the identi.
sty Of the @rich widow was dispelle1
today and hundreds Of acknowledged
truly sure enough business men" In
New York, Boston and other business
centers are. mourning the loss OF
much ink and writing paper, to say
nothing Of broken hearts and blasted
hopes.
Mrs. Brown is and always has been,
an ethereal widow Of large posses
sions being the creation OF the mag
ination Of those whose fertile brain
not only brought the widow into an
imaginary being, but found for her
her patrician name. In short, Mrs.
Brown does not exist.
SO forcefully has the rich widow
hallucination worked upon the minds
OF sundry gentlemen that even after
the myth had been exploded and Mrs.
Brown vanished hundreds OF letters
remain as touching tribute to her
imaginary charms and they are still
pouring into the Chicago postoffice.
Among the first to suspect that
Mrs. Brown and her large possessions
were a delusion and snare was
Uncle Sam" who refused to be par.
ty to the ruse longer. Hundreds OF let
tiers lay In the postoffice awaiting the
incarnation Of Mrs. Clara De Forrest
Brown. But no admirer OF 'antcorn.
fed business men" appeared.

DEAFNESS CANNOr BE CURED

by local applications rs they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
there is only one way to cure deafness
and that is Unconstitutional remedies:
Deafness is caused by an infiamed
condition OF the mucous lining OF the
Euetachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumblin sound
or imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by Catarrh. which is
nothing hut an infiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.

"A Great Revival.

Possible the greatest revival
eyer held in Lenoir Baptist
church closed last Sunday night
There were two services daily for
fifteen days, and each service
was we'll attended. As a partial
result Of the met ting! 70 were
added to the church, 46 Of whom
were admitted by baptism, 20 re-
ceivpd under the watchcare Of
the church, 10 admitted hy letter
and 3 restored. There are sew.
pral other con verts who will like
ly unite with the chnrch later.
Rev. Fred N. Day, of Winston
salem. whoconducted the revival
is a plain, practical preacher,
and his faithful work here pro.
duced marvellous results. He is
a good business man, owning a
jewelry store in Winston Salem,
but he gives hall of his time to
eyangelistic work, He pays his
own expenses while out holding
revivals, and every cent received
for his preaching he gives for the
education and support OF orphan
children. Many people think
that giving a tenth Of theirearn
ings to the cause of Christianity
is extensive; here IL a man who
deyotps more than halfoihis time
to this work, and there is there
tore little wonder that his servic'
es are productive of 40 great re
sults.-LenOir Topic.

"We have never "taken to"

the Enterprise contracted fprhis

that the contract should be cam

Labor IN Polit,cs.


Ashville Citizen.
There is much speculation at
this time concerning the probable
attitude of the labor element OF
country toward the three presi-
Dental candidates now appeal.
Ing for their support. For, rs
might have been the case for the
last quarter Of a century or more
the world oil labor with an un.
broken front can virtually con.
troll che late Of any candidate on
whom or against whom it may
unite. Thus it happens, asit hap
pens in every national campaign
that the old line parties, as well
as the 80 called new third party,
are making every effort to cap
ture the labor vote by endeavor-
to show the working man that
he can best conserve his interests
by voting against the candidates
OF the other two parties.
The question naturally crises
whether or not he American toll.
er will continue to vote bllndlv,
as he has hitherto done, au &C.
complish nothing. If labor would
awake to it's own opportunities
it would for once disregard pol.
itical consideration, and wage a
selfish campal gn by uniting with
that party wherin lies the great
est promi1. The working men OF
the United States know that the
Democrats constitute something
like half the nation, and that
while the party and it's platform
have always stood close to the
toilers' homes, the Democratic
candidate of 1912, Governor
Woodrow Wilson, comes nearer
to representing the working
mans interests and understand.
ing his needs than any candidate
in the political history OF the
country. In no way 'dt entitled
with the syndicate interest or
giantcorporations of the country
standing on a platform thatpro'
claims a thorough understanding
of the working mans requirement
and rich in promise ameIioration
OF conditions which have been
unhearab'e, Woodrow Wilson ia
a candidate who can be consist
emily supported by all ranks of
labor.
There is nothing in the pro-
grams of either of the other two
parties which can attract even
the temporary attention OF the
American toiler. The very men
who now seek to pull the WOO
oyer the workers eyes have al.
ways been the uncompromisine
opponents of organized labor
and they have tried to undermine
it in countless ways. The Lior
Hunter himself admits that
very little of the huge profits OF
the big corporations gets into
the pockets of the employees
but while he was president of tn
United States he never did any
: thing to put a stopto such con
ditions, nor does be offer any
plan ot relief now.
If the intelligent workingmeI
OF the country will sit down ant
give careful consideration tocon
ditions OF the past, we haye NJ
doubt as to their action in the
future.
