and the entire democratic ticket with
exception Of ]. j Moriarty, candidate
for alderman in the Seventh ward,
were elected yesterday. Abbott's plu.
rality was 1000 and his majority over
all opponents was 1872. William E..
Kendall, candidate for mayor on the
citizens ticket, ran second, with
Joseph L. Sheridan, progressive can
didate, third and w. r. McCready, of
the republican party fourth. The en-
tire ticket OF the five parties repre-
scented at the polls rotated in similar
order to that of the heads of the or
CARNATIONS.
W. p Bushnell, republican candi-
date for city engineer, was defeated
by Fred Hancock by a plurality OF
l .105, his majority and plurality being
smaller than that of any democratic
candidate elected.
Duke Schroer was elected city clerk
by plurality OF 1859, his victory hav-
ing been the most complete, due prob,
ably to the fact that there was only
! one candidate opposing him. Edward

Gentlemen: Thinking that perhaps
of my mother-In-law Mrs Anna Covert
might benefit some other sufferers,
give the following testimonial: About
September 10, 1908. she was taken sick
with Catarrhal Pneumonia, and continual
" grew worse, requiring trained nurse.
Night sweats were so bad that It was
necessary to change her clothing once or
twice every night; her cough increased
that she would not live much longer
In January, when Rev. Vim. Berg. Of
st. Michuel's Church, nj Shereville, Ind.
prepared for her death. he recommended
that ! get Ecklnan's Alternative, and see
II 1t would not give her some relief
then requested the attending physician to
give his diagnosis and be informed me
that she had Consumption and was be-
yond all medical aid. When asked If
be thought TINT 1t was useless to try the
Alternative. he replied TINT No physician
could help her any and | could suit my
self about it. So ] Immediately had
Rev VIM Berg to send for n hottie.
Practically without hope for recovery !
insisted that she try the Alternative which
she did. ] am glad to say that she soon
began to improve. Now, she works as

sented by keokuk Electric Com.
pany Benefit tho &
Consumers.
EFFECTIVE ON JULY !
Power From the Dam Reason for
Electricity ReductIon-Rea-
son for Gas
Cut.
EFFECTIVE ON JULY Is! q

oficials OF the Keokuk Electric
company met with the directors OF
the Industrial Association and the
city council at the Elks club at noon
today and laid before them the new
gas and electric rates for the city of
Keokuk, effective July 1, 1918.
The new schedules, prepared by
rate experts after months of study OF
the resources of the company, reduce
the rate on electricity for lighting
thirty to thirty-five per cent for sew
enty per cent of the consumers and
materially lowers the average rates on
gas.
Keokuk is given rates lower than
the majority of the cities of this
class in this section, the company off,
cials say, and were there no increase
in the consumption during the COM
ing year the gross receipts of the
company would be cut approximately
$4,000. The company is enabled to
give cheaper rates for electricity be-
cause of the dam, but the reduction in
gas rates is made in the face of a
seventy-five per cent rise in the price
of oil and e rise in coal. the two ma
terials most used in manufacturing
artificial gas.
The company expects to profit by
large increase in the consumption
of both gas and electricity and will
expend large amount of money on
both utilities during the coming sum-
mer to enable them to take care of
the business cheaply and efficiently.
General Explanation.
A clear explanation of the new rates
necessarily involves a technical
knowledge of gas and electricity and
for that reason the company expects
to explain the complicated features
individually to those consumers af
fected, especially on the rates for
power. The main features are given
here.
The rate for electricity for lighting
purposes will benefit the small con
sumer most for the net rate is reduc.
ed from fifteen cents to ten. the old
rate starting at fifteen cents for kilo
watts consumed up to thirty kilo
watts and being reduced as the
amount Of consumption increase tc
ten cents and the new rate starts al
ten cents and is reduced ass the
amount consumed increases to two
cents.
The old minimum rate for electri
city for lighting is fifty cents pei
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1913-04-02

month while the new minimum rate
is twelve dollars per year. This is
considered by the company the more
equitable for consumers who use much
electricity during the winter months
and little or none during the summer
months as the minimum charge OF
twelve dollars may be passed in two
or three months while under the old
system 1t would necessarily be paid
during several months of the year
when it was not passed. Under the
new schedule, power rates vary from
five cents to one cent per kilowat
hour while under the old rate the
variance is from eight cents to four.
Rates for Gas.
The company will abolish the old
system of two meters for gas-one to
record the gas used for heating and
one for lighting. This system is no
longer used in modern gas concerns
as it involves a great expense in the
reading of two meters, in their main
tenance and in Office work.
The average rate for gas will be
S1.15 per thousand as against $3.50
under the old rate. Gas for illuminate
| ing purposes under the old rate was
$3.50 per thousand while the new rate
| for the first two thousand cubic feet
! is $125 net, a marked reduction. The
rate for gas for fuel under the ole
rate was $1.25 for the first thousand
cubic feet and undec the new rate =
| is Sf,25 but asSthe amount consumed
increases the price is lowered unit
| 1t is lower than the old rate. The
company expects gas to be largely
used in restaurants and bake-shops IL
the future where large amount o.
fuel would be used.
Below is table of the new rates
as compared with the old schedule:

for a divorce from his third wife,

profession as her husband is in his
before she deserted the footlights for

peared in Atlanta several times.
The papers in the case are sealed
and no information concerning the
grounds upon which Mr.. Munyon has
based his divorce action can be OBJ

Friends Of the couple think that
the last straw" was the incident
which began when MI Munyon met
his wife at the Union station here
and which eliminated in the appear

Mr. Munyon and his wife had not
been on the best terms for some time,
and il is said ne was far from pleased
to ind himself suddenly face to face
with Mrs. Munyon one daN last De
cember in the Union Station. To
avoid any scene in public. he greeted
her with assumed cordially how

Mrs Nunvon had no sooner seated
herself than she ordered a Martini

Of that than she called for another
and followed that with third. MT.
Nunyon could not restrain a word OF

The climate is such that far
mers do not have to house
stock during the winter, there
being good grazing theentire
year. For raising cattle and
stock Georgia offers greater
inducements than can be
found elsewhere.
The soil is suited for almost
anything that grows and can
be utilized the entire year.
The prices at which good
farm land can be purchased
at present in Georgia are so
low that it is a matter of
some thinking
that the land is not so good
as stated. The land is good,
but there are thousands of
acres that are now lying idle
and the good people of
Georgia are anxiousfor good

Consequently the land is
cheaper here than elsewhere.
