WILL
SHOW MANY CHANGES
Assessor Johnston in Placing Actual
Value on Property Says It
Will Show Increase.

The assessment rolls on Keokuk
real estate, now being made up, will
show a decided increase in the value
Of property in the city within the past
year. The total value of property as
shown by the tax books for last year
was something over $2,000,000.
Assessor s. H. Johnston, who with
his assistants, is busily engaged in
the work which is to be completed by
April states that real estate all over
the city will be. affected. In the light
of sales made within the past year or
SO prices have been paid above the
actal valuation given them in the
previous assessment SO that read
justment Of values all around is need
ed. it is said.
Although, as general rule, north
side property has advanced more rap
idly in price during the past two
years than that on the south side real
estate all over the city will be affect
ed as the rise has been general.

CADILLAC HAS UNIQUE PLAN 70
CONSERVE ENERGY.
Current Generated In Testing util-
lied In Factory.

a I
Given . competent and resource
full staff of executives and engineers
says 3. G. Howard, sales manager oil
the Cadillac Motor Car Company
plans and methods can be devised
whereby money can be saved in pro
duction and utilized in the betterment
OF the product and the cost of the pro.
duct reduced to the ultimate user.
Recently the Cadillac Company de,
vised and adopted a new idea in its
engine and chassis testing depart
ments which accomplishes an extra
ordinary saving, or rather enables us
to utilize power which previously had
been lost.
After the engines are assembled
they are run for some hours on ii,
block The engines spin away until
they operate with smoothness and
precision. Heretofore, while the en-
gines were run under their own pow
er, the power thus generated was
wasted; that is, there was no return
from the consumption of gasoline, oil
and labor other than that secured by
the test itself.
I'VE now have ~ of these testing
blocks or jacks. In connection with
each Jack there is an electric dynamo
When the auto engine is under run
ming test, 1t drives the dynamo, there
by generating the current the same
as In an electric power plant. The
current thus generated is run into the
main line and utilized in driving the
machinery throughout the factory.
After the engine is installed In
the chassis the entire chassis is given
another run Of some hours on dyna
mometer stand. BY the later method
every power transmitting unit of th
entire car from engine to rear axle
is put through course of sprouts
so to speak. 1t enables the tester te
vary the load at will and to put the
chassis under almost any test desired
@The current generated in this test
Is also run into the main line and
utilized as before explained.
But the conserving of energy does
rot end here. The water which is
heated in passing through the circu
lating system Of the engine, Is piped
to the Mushrooms for use there"

The strike declared for Monday In
Guides every member of the United

The MARKETS
New York Dallx stock at.

New York Daily Stock Letter.
limited Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK. Feb 1.-The past
week has been marked by display
of great strength in securities, both
at home and abroad, accompanied as
it was by the developments and Incl
dents having no great bearing on the
stock markets. In the New York mar.
ket, first came the message Of Cover
nor Sulzer on stock exchange reform,
but outside of few harsh words re
garding certain manipulation Of prl-
ces, the governors message waa
much more conservative than was ex-
pected on the street.
Early January was marked by de-
clining market, but the past week
saw a vigorous advance. From the
low prices Of December, st. Paul has
risen 25sc; Steel, AS; Union Pacific
SIS. and Reading, 75s. Il
1ntimation that solution OF the
problem Of dissolving the Union and
Southern Pacific railroad had been
reached helped in promoting more
cheerful outlook in the market The
United States Steel corporations re-
port also disclosed that the last
months of 1912 constituted the best
fourth quarter in the corporations
history, SO far as net earnings are
concerned.
A notable feature of the week how
ever, is seen in the fact that our gold
exports were augmented this week to
total OF over s17Oo0,00O since the
first of the year. 1t is believed that
proof by the European powers that
peace is going to be maintained will
aid in relieving the monetary tension
and show conclusively that an abnor-
NAL exigency has been created by the
fear of war.
Grain Market.
CHICAGO, Feb. Flor some time
during the week 1t was q matter OF
doub. whether the market would
clocse higher or lower than 1t closer
last week. One day it was up and
the next down. Friday, however, It
closed with enough gain SO that the
drop of &c on Saturday could not
overcome the lead. The raise over
last week was one cent.
The main features were decrease
in the visible of 100000 bushels and
huge requirement of importing
countries, owing to the fact that the
rainy season has rendered their crops
unfit for milling. Another feature
favoring the bulls was the cold wea
Their that came when the wheat was
unprotected by snow. The result Of
the cold is not yet definitely known
All eyes were on Argentine this
week for the corn prospect. Bears
hoped that the late rains were not toe
late, to save the grain from drought
while bulls made light of the large
shipments. Shipping demand was
| light and prices were very unsteady
The gain during the week was *
to &c.
The oats market was SO evenly
balanced that 1t was reduced to q
state Of almost complete immobility
There was practically no change in
the price over the close Of last week
The market in hog products war
very quiet and there was practically
no change from the close yesterday
The local run was smaller than ex
pected.

EASTER COMES EARLY

First Time in Many Years That Easter
Has Come So ON This scheduIe-It
VIII Be so Years Before it Will
Reach Us So EARLY Again.
We shall have this year the earliest
Easter that has dawned since 1856. Tt
comes to use on March %. In 1912 it
came one day earlier and two days
earlier in the year 387 A D., in that
part Of thelworld known as Paul. Eas-
ter has always been a movable feast,
roaming all over the Gregorian calen-
dar. 1t obeys one of the oldest laws
man ever devised. This is that the
first Sunday after the full moon fol-
lowing the verna1 equinox shall be
called Easter Usually Easter reach
es US in a seasonabIe time, but this
year the verna1 equinox, full moon
and Sunday follow SO closely upon
each other that Easter is at hand al
most before one will realize that it
is due. This is apt to cause some
mixup in the various preparatory
schools throughout the country whose
courses of study are arranged with
Easter in mind, and it is time for
examinations in many such and the
early advent of Eastef is apt to upset
the schedules. Florists are already
getting in readiness to force lilies to
early planting of the Bermuda va
riety which is capable of great fore
ing. Last August the bulbs were set
out and the florists have ever since
been i1asteling their progress The
same Is likewise true OF other flowers.
You will find in looking into the mat
ter that the florists generally are now
h1istling to bring forth their blossoms
on time for the great spring festival
Not in 95 years has Easter come
any earlier in the year than it will
come this year. and it will not come
as early again for another 81 years.
The next Easter falls on March %.
Not since 1918 did It arrive sooner in
the year. In that year it came on
March %. Not until the year 1000
will it come 50 early again. Sixty
seven years ago and 56 years ago, res
pectively, Easter occurred on the same
date as it does in 1913. The next
visit will be in 1910, when it will ar
rive on March "a. In 1851 it will ar
rive on March rs. It win come again
on March 96 in 1857. 1878 and 1852.
The latest Easter of the 18th and Doth
centuries was in 1883, when it fell on
April "a. In 1s4S ana 1905 it oc-
CURED on April %. Last Easter was
on April z. As Easter is the most
important of all the movable feasts of
the Christian church, 1t determines all
the rest. Hence this year Ash Wed
nesday comes on February s., Ascen-
sion Thursday May 1, and Pentecost
on May H. Easter can never com
earlier than March %, and the only
time it did or could do this from the
year 1901 to 1000 was ins 1913. This
was made possible by having full
moon on March 81 and the following
day being Sunday. The rule provides
that Easter shall be the Sunday that
moon which falls upon or next after
March 81
