The wedding was quiet affair-no guests present, the groom being Tn mourning, having recently lost hls mother. Miss Crosby at one time made her home with her brother but for the past two years she has been employed at Pope's Business College in Derby. It was while living with her brother that her acquaintance with MT.

QUINCY NOW GETTING
POWER FROM KEOKUK
About 1000 Horsepower Is Being
Used by Illinois City and More
will be Used Later.

QUINCY, Ill.,, Sept 13-Since the
first of the week all the electric pow
er used in Quincy excepting that used
by the street railway company has
come from the immense water power
dam at Keokuk through the wire Of
the Quincy Gas & Electric company.
This means that the local company
is using about 1000 horse power cur
rent from the dam and has practic-
ally abandoned it's own power house
at Front and York streets for the
time being. About October the power
plant will doubtless be put into oper-
alton again to furnish steam to con-
sumeTs.
The switching from their own pow
er to the power purchased from the
dam company will mean a saving to
the local company and In the opinion
OF Superintendent H. o. Channon will
result just as satisfactorily to the
consumer.
There yet remains about 1000 horse
power on the outside that has not
yet been turned onto the Keokuk
current, but this will be done imme-
diately, The current enters Quincy
in one of the cables of the power
company and the flow of Juice never
varies shade.
The street railway company has
not discontinued the use of its own
power as yet but the officials are
dickering with the Mississippi Valley
Power company fo~ the privilege OF
using this power and j. is probable
that some arrangement may be made
soon.

The kaiser's favorite drink now is
lemonade with dash of orange juice,

empress originated. 1t is made with
mineral water and prepared in a

really delicious and satisfying drink.
To those who have had their jibes
at the expense of Secretary of State
William Jennings Bryan. it may come
as surprise that Kaiser Wilhelm
has upon several occasions drunk
toasts with water. Unlike Bryan,
however, the kaiser doesn't insist
that others also drink water There
is always wine on the table for those
who like 1t and want it. The kaiser

tinct shock to two Of the biggest In
dustries in Germany These fear he
may become an ardent advocate OF
the growing temperance movement in
the fatherland.
The latest development in the char
acter of the many-sided kaiser, &C
cording to persons in close CON
tact with him, Is a decided an
tipathy to all alcoholic drink. This
has grown to an extent that he vir-
tually never touches liquor any more
He has not drunk beer for several
years and now he has also barred
wine.
This is not sudden notion of the
kaiser nor is he seeking to emulate
the example OF Secretary OF State
Bryan. 1t is said to be the gradual
development from moderate drinking
to abstinence covering a period of
several years and now resulting from
the personal conviction that alcohol
is Injurious to the individual and an
obstructive factor in the development
Of nation.
II is not so many years ago that
the kaiser, in speech, showed his
appreciation Of "drap" and praised
the noble wine from the terraced vine
clad hills of the Rhine. The Ger
man must always have little alco-
hol,' he remarked. Never anything
