1t Is probable that the presenta-
ton OF the initiative petition with
the telephone ordinance will be de-
layed until the return OF Mayor Eld-
er and City Clerk Sandberg from
their vacations, according to leaders
in the movement 1t is necessary for
the city clerk to certify to the names
on the petitions before they are pre-
sented to the council. In the mean
time the solicitors say they will con-
tinue seeking names.

Keokuk people are SO generous
that they are imposed upon. Several
bands OF worthless nomads have
camped within or near the city, gem
orally having sick person or several
children in the party, and then come
into the city after food. They don't
ask for it; they demand It. Where
they are not allowed to camp on
private property they are ordered to
move on after twenty-four hours and
strict measures are being adopted by
| the authorities to break up this class
Of beggars.
| Yesterday there were forty or
fifty people fishing on the Illinois
side OF the river just below the dam
and as many more interested specta-
tors at times. Most of the fishermen
did not use bait in their fishing but
threw line with several hooks on
lit into the swift water and the fish
were easily hooked. No patience is
required to fish there for 1t generally
keeps one busy taking fish of his
line. The most vigilance required is
to keep from falling OF the bank into
1.-THE swift water.
