Tho Hotel BURLINGTON

Burlington Hawk-Eye: /. 1t is a
source of great satisfaction to Bur.
lington people to know that their new
hotel, The Burlington. has SO far
proved to be fine success. The local
public interest in this admirable enter
prise lies in the fact that IA citizens
hold stock In the concern and are
reaping benefit from their invest
ment, and at the same time enjoying
the reputation which the caravansary
is making for this city through wide
scope of territory. The men behind
the enterprise are among Burlington's
most progressive and successful bust
ness men, and 1t is entirely due to
them that the hotel was conceived on
such admirable plans, constructed
with such taste and filed with 80 many
comforts. The hotel Is beautiful and
comfortable place of rest and refresh
ment for both the travelling public and
many citizens. 1t has become one OF
the most popular resorts for local So
cial functions, as well as business and
professional gatherings, and it is aid
ing in many ways in making Burling-
ton favorite stopping place for trav-
cling men. AS magnet for conven-
lions it has exerted a strong influ-
ence, and in that manner has proven
of incalculable benefit to the city. 1t
will, without question have an i'm
portant part in the future growth
which is sure to come to Burlington.

The Garfield school building is not

Is to be borrowed to rebuild; the
third story should not be generally

ed upon to vote at one Of the mo
important elections the city Of Keo-
kuk has held for some time.
There has been considerable dissat-

holders regarding the actions of the
Industrial Association, but it is gem

their stock.
II they are dissatisfied, it is their
duty to themselves as we'll as to the
city Of Keokuk to vote next Thursday
for board OF directors. They are
not compelled by the articles of incor-
poration, as understand it, to vote
for the same ones who have been act
ing, but can vote for whom they
please. They are not compelled to
vote for men who, after they have
made their money in Keokuk, invest
1t in Kansas, Missouri, Indiana or
some other state, but should consider
a board of directors who, having
made their money In Keokuk, believe
in Keokuk and are for Keokuk for all
the time.
