Valuable opinion.

Keokuk people who have made the
new building possible, will be pleased
to hear the verdict of Mrs. Byers con-
corning it. She is an expert on the
subject. She says that in all her ex-
perience she has never seen any
place where so much has been gotten
for the money expended as in Keokuk
and that she Knows no other town of
the proportionate size of Keokuk that
has more attractive and more
practical structure than has Keoknk.
That has been the proud thought
of those who have watched and been
somewhat familiar with the details of
its conception, the plans Of the cam
paigns that have been conducted by
the ways and means forces. Skill,
good judgment and the hardest kind
of work has brought the result of the
labor which Mrs. Byers' competent
Judgment approves.
