3. c. Carline of Scott City, Kansas,
was in Keokuk Saturday afternoon
making inquiries concerning son
whom he and his family have not
heard from FOR some eight weeks past
The young man missing, is over six
feet tall, has light brown hair, and a
sandy mustache; weighs in the neigh
borhood of two hundred pounds and Is
about twenty-five years old BY pro-
fession he is mechanical craftsman,
and has for some two years past held
La splendid position with the Westing-
house Electric people at Pittsburgh
Early in April he was given leave of
absence from his work, and since that
time or soon after, he wrote letter
to his sister at Scott City. saying he
was visiting an cid school mate at
Hamilton, Ill. That was the last let
ter ever received by his people. He
was young man of good habits,
wrote to his folks at home regularly
every ten days or oftener and not
hearing from him, it is feared that

locality to some other location. he
might have gotten into the cyclone or
flood districts and lost his life. The
object of the father here is to ascer-
tain If possible whom the young man
was visiting and see if he gave him
any definite idea as to his course dur
ing the trip. In that way he hopes
to get in touch with some one who
might be able to give information as
Ito young Carline's last location.

Great Work Almost Done.

Everything is out of the way of the
waters of the new lake, insofar as
the water-power company's responsl
bility goes. The Burlington route Is
running it's trains over the entire four
teen miles Of new, relocated and ele-
waited track from above Montrose to
Keokuk. The water-power company
has bought all the land submerged by
the waters of the lake and has clear.
ed the islands of the timber as re-
quired by the war department.
The near completion Of the whole
water-power is suggested by the way
things are being finished around the
edges OF the great engineering
achievement In the Mississippi For
instance, the lake shore scenic road
is being macadamized for its length
In Iowa and in Illinois 1t is delayed
only by the incomplete state OF some
bridges which were delayed in arrip
ing from the steel mills.

BEFORE NEXT SATURDAY
Railroad, Scenic Lake Shore Road,
Islands and Land All Ready for
Formation Of New Lake in
Mississippi.

Within week, the last bucket Of
concrete will be placed in the big
dam across the Mississippi and the
lake formed above it will rise to
within five or six feet of its ultimate
height
closed gradually by buil1ing in the
spillways In the arched spans, the
river has been getting part of It's out
let through the forebay and the lower
half of the power house, the intake
openings in which were kept open
But the narrowing of the river into
closer quarters has made the water
higher above the dam than below, not
withstanding part of it has been going
through the big dam and much of y,
through the openings In the incom-
plete lower half of the power house.
The finishing of the big dam spill.
ways will complete the damning Of
the river during the next week, and
by next Saturday the water of the
lake will be up near its ultimate
height.
The Lake In the Mississippi.
Thus the new lake in the Missis-
sippi, man made and automatically
designed, will be completed In the
last week in May in this year OF 1913.
The lake is narrow at its lower end
because the bluffs are near the ola
river bank along the old, historic ant.
now abolished Des Moines rapids, but
at its lower end it Is about a quarter
of a mile wider than the old river
was. The greatest width will be
where the bluffs recede from the old
river the most. The many islands in
the river around Montrose and below
will be submerged and the entire as
pect of the river changed between
Keokuk and Fort Madison.
Instead OF the old canal with its
three small locks, and the practically
impossible Des Moines rapids, there
will be water many feet deep for
steamboat navigation along that form
erly worst stretch Of river for the
mariners.

ABOLISHED OLD
TOWN MEETING.
New Iowa Law Precludes the Friday
Evening School Nominating Con-
vention Previous to School
Election Monday.
UNIQUE KEoKUK CUSTOM
Observed Here for Longer Than the
Name. If No. ,s.s.alA =;y~tet.,
Peculiar to This City
In Iowa.

One of the oldest institutions OF
Keokuk has been abolished by the
Iowa legislature without anything
being known about 1t here until 1t
was accomplished and the legislature
had adjourned.
No more will there be held the mass
meetings at the court house on the
Friday night before the annual school
election to nominate candidates for
members of the board of education,
that the oldest living inhabitant can
not recollect when the custom started
1t has been custom here so long
that lots of people thought it was
part Of the school election law, al,
though so far as is known it was
unique to Keokuk and observed no
where else In the state or In the
world for that matter Those mass
meetings used to nominate as many
candidates as there were school di.
rectors to elect, and Its slate was
practically sure of election. But a
dozen years ago, live reformer rec
ognized the possibilities In few peo-
pie collecting on Friday night and
setting up the election Of the next
Monday, and the meeting began to
nominate twice as many candidates
as there were members of the boaro
of education to elect, thus giving the
voters some choice in voting. The
board printed tickets with the mass
meeting nominees on them, although
this, too. was entirely outside any
provision of law.
The New School Ballot Law.
The last legislature, for the first
time In Iowa history, made provision
for nominations for school director
and the use Of tickets at school cleo
tions. The new law abolishes the oro
. Keokuk method entirely
The law now provides that anybody
who can get ten names signed to a
petition and files 1t with the secre-
tary of the bcNrd a week before the
school election thereby becomes a
candidate.
The board secretary has printed an
official ballot in the usual Australian
form, containing the names of all
candidates properly petitioned for,
and also containing one blank line for
any name the voter chooses to write
into the ballot.
Only these official ballots may be
voted hereafter, while In the past any
kind of ballot might be vetoed. and
here In Keokuk 1t was customary to
vote printed slips containing combina-

Kitten In Revolt.

A remarkable case of filial ingrati.
tude on the part of black kitten has
occurred in Liverpool, England. A
few days ago customer threw a
piece of meat between them, which
was secured by the mother cat TIC
the surprise of everybody, the kitten
sprang at his mother and drove her
out of the house. Since then he has
mounted guard over the doors to pre-.
vent her return, and although she
has attempted time after time to re
turn to her old home, her stern, un
bending, and ungrateful son bars the
way.
