The Street Commissioners Thinks it
Would be Inadvlsable at This
Time Of the
Year.
PETITIONS CIRCULATED
Matter VIII Probably be Thrashed
Out at Next Regular Meeting
Of the City
Council.

Main street will not be cleaned
this fall" Commissioner T. j. Hickey
issued the foregoing statement today
and gave his reasons for taking that
position.
He said that the street contained
what Is known as an asphalt filler
and that the only way to clean the
thoroughfare is by the use of a
flusher which would cost $4,000. 1t
is the opinion of the commissioner
that 1t would be unwise to expend
the necessary money at this time of
the year.
1t is thought that the matter will
be thrashed out by the city authori-
ties at the next regular meeting of
the council. The several business
men who started the circulation OF
petitions yesterday TO the board OF
commissioners to have the street
freed from dirt and regulate hitching
posts say that almost without excep-
ton business men have gladly signed
the paper with no hesitation. They
have not pushed the matter very hard
as yet but expect to present several
hundred names to the council. 1t is
claimed by them that the street can
easily be cleaned with shovels and 1t
has been suggested that the firemen
turn out and flush the street.
Some further decision on the mat
ter is expected soon. There appears
to be good chance for heated argu-
ment but an amicable settlement of
the question is looked for.

Scott.

Scott said the voice in the whire

Scott then declared the voice on
the phone sounded like Mr.. Roose-

Later Mr.. Bliss told me he didn't

Bliss told ne the Hartman fund had
been raised and that the money had

When George W. Perkins was in

the party should make restitution to

MAD DOG WARNING
IS SOUNDED
Several Cases Of the Dread Disease
In This Locality Hive Given Au-
thoritles Much
Concern.
SHOULD BE MUzzLED
Extra Precautlon Should Re Taken at
This Time to Prevent the
Spread Of the
Maiady.
SHOULD BE MUzzLED

Il Z
Hydrophobia Is prevalent in this
vicinity to such extent that
an authority warns the owners of
dogs to exercise more than usual
care i'll handling them. The dread
disease has appeared several times in
what is known as the mute form
which is no less dangerous than the
form exhibited In an animal which
froths at the mouth and runs about
wildly attacking every animal it
comes in contact with. In my opin-
ion,'' says DR.. o. w. Rowe. assistant
state vetinarian, every dog that Is
allowed to run at large in Keokuk
should be muzzled."
The mute form of rabies manifests
itself in restlessness or uneasiness
such as jumping at imaginary objects
or running about at night. There is
no frothing at the mouth. The dog
suffers paralysis OF the lower jaw but
this is not noticeable until the disease
has reached the advanced stays. 1t
is conveyed only by direct infection
either by bite or the contact of the
saliva with the blood in any other
manner. A child who plays with an
infected dog is rendered especially
liable to rabies if the saliva should
come in contact with scratch or any
other abrasion Of the skin.
The presence of this form OF rabies
in this locality is though to have
come from some dog which was not
reported to the authorities or was
Killed without knowledge of the dis
ease with which it was infected. A
short time ago man in Hamilton,
H., whose name is Withheld, was bit
ten by an over-friendly and especially
fine dog which he priced very highly
and was loath to kill. AS result he
was forced to take the Pasteur treat
ment for rabies, which is effective
but expensive.
People are warned to report imme-
diately any strange actions of their
CANNES and urged not to let affection
for pet to endanger their own lives
or those Of their neighbors.

r,endIsl, Attack by Charles Cav
anaush While Driving
Homo.
ATTACK THREE WOMEN
Sheriff and Deputies Surround Man In
House Near Middle Lock and
Arrest Him as Perpetrator
Of the Deed.

Mrs. John c. vanAusdall, living on
the middle road north Of the city was
victim Of murderous assault late
Yesterday afternoon as she was driv-
ing home from Keokuk. Charles Cav
anaugh age twenty-nine, laborer on
the railroad work in that vicinity was
arrested last night after a chase by
officers and lodged In the county jail
in this city.
The fiendish work of Cavanaugh
was not confined to Mrs. VanAusdali,
however, for before he met her, he
made an attempted attack on two
girls named Whitaker. who were
walking down the road He passed
the girls and then whirled around and
grabbed one of them but she worked
Her hands up to his throat and choked
him until he loosened his grasp while
the other sister beat him with a
small stick she had picked up from
the road.
After beating him off, the sisters
ran to their home and gave the news
to their people, but Cavanaugh had
disappeared when they arrived at the
scene. A short time after this he
met Mrs vanAusdall, driving home,
and leaped into the buggy and in the
struggle that ensued, nearly all Mrs.
vanAusdall's clothes were torn from
her. She fought him of finally and
drove rapidly to her home, from
where the local officers were notified.
Sheriff Crimmins and two deputies
went to the place and finally after a
long chase through the woods, John
J. Crimmins, Jr.. found Cavanaugh at
the boarding house conducted by Mrs.
Cass, for railroad workmen. He was
arrested without trouble and brought
to the county Jail.
This morning Mrs. VanAusdall was
reported as resting as easily as could
be expected after her terrible expert
ence. She is still very nervous and
suffering greatly from shock. She
will recover.

When seen at the county Jail this
morning, Cavanaugh seemed surly and
III at ease, and had very little to
say, When asked if he had any state
ment to make, he replied: mo. |
don't know what am locked up for. ;"
ne said that he was twenty-nine years
old and had lived in Lee county for
the past six months, working as a la
oorer on several construction and
railroad gangs. He says that he has
no home, all his people being dead.

against him is complete. AS soon as
