SLIGHT DECREASE IN
REGISTRATION IN CITY
Total Number Registered on Firs,
Day is Lower Than That OF
Four Years Ago.

The registration yesterday shows a
slight decrease over the first days
registration of four years ago when a
total of 1886 was reached in the six
wards of the city. Nearly all of the
registration was made late in the
evening for at four o'clock yesterday
afternoon none of the wards could
show more than eighty-ive names.
1t is thought that there will be a
big increase in the number registered
during the last two days, for many or
the water power employees have estab-
lished residence here and will vote
in Keokuk this fall The law requir-
ing complete new list means that
everyone who cares to exercise their
right Of franchise must register on

The city Is ready to lay the pipe for
the extension of the water works
system to the shoe factory, but the
work has been delayed for about a
month by the non-arrival of pipe,
which fact Is most unfortunate. The
pipe may not get here for week yet.
The city is putting in cement box

The range is the gift of the Keokuk

much merriment when several OF the
members asked about the penmanship
