Keokuk-Des Moines line, not only as
a result Of financial complications
that have developed, but because OF In
sistent rumors that the line Is to be
electrified by the Rock Island.
The road was originally built on the
cooperative plan, the farmers along
the right-of-way buying a large share
Of the stock. The Rock Island saw IN
the road an excellent feeder into I'LL

have a long hold on the line.
Recently the line gained prominence
by the application OF one Of the stock
holders to the courts for a showing Of
the company's affairs. The complaint
stated that no dividends had been paid
on the property for number of years.
1t has been rumored that the line Is to
be electrified and that power Is to be
secured from the big Keokuk dam.
Rock Island officials pretend to

REV. MALCOLM DANA
THE FIRST SPEAKER

Keokuk, April 1.-THE first session
Of the Denmark association was held
Tuesday evening at the First Congre-
gational church In this city with Rev.
M. Dana Of Ottumwa as the speaker.
He delivered the annual sermon, hav'
ing as his subject "Genuineness."
III there is any one special call for
today, it is the demand for genuine
ness" said the visiting minister. I'VE
need this quality In our political lead
ers, in our Industrial leaders and In
our religious leaders. Many of our
politicians are brilliant men who know
how to accomplish things, but some
how we lose confidence in them be-
cause they are not genuine, because
they are doing no more than simply
playing the game.
"The divorce courts are filled be-
cause of the lack of genuineness on
the part of husbands and wives. It Is
in the doing of small duties that we
need the quality that brands us as sim
cere workers. We can be true when
we have big task to perform; 1t Is
the small things that cause Us to be
ungenuine."
The sermon was followed by the ad-
minister1ng of communion, Rev. D. H.
How're of Humeston and Rev. 8. Mar
tin of Eddyville having this service In
charge.
Two addresses were delivered last
evening. Rev. P. A. Johnson OF Grin
nell spoke at 1880 and he was fol-
lowed at 8 o'clock by Rev. Naboth Os-
born, D. D., of Burlington.
