Manv Boats Pass BRIDGE,

A total of 1929 boats passed
through the bridge at Keokuk this
year, while last year there were only
,3O1. The large difference is &C
counted for by the fact that the gov
eminent boats dredging the channel
between the bridge and the lock have
added greatly to the number while
many more excursion boats passed
through the bridge this year than in
former years.

Resolutions Adopted by the Friends
Church, Oskaioosa, Iowa.

Whereas, there is in our city a
long standing dispute between a pub
lie corporation and certain of its en-
ployes, and
Whereas, such dispute has develop
ed elements highly contrary to the
principles of the Christian Religion,
and produced conditions that are in
furious to all the interests of our city,
and
Whereas, the matters in contro-
versy have been adjudged by Board
of Arbitration constituted by the
Governor, of the State, and in accord
ance with, the laws Of our Common
wealth, and
Whereas, the said method of ar
bitration is eminently Christian, and
fair to all concerned, therefore,
Be it resolved, that we, the Oska-
loosa Meeting of Friends, express as
our firm conviction, without attempt
ing to pass upon the points in contro'
versy, that the parties at disagree
ment should accept the findings of the
Board of Arbitration. And further
Be it resolved, that we do greatly
deplore and condemn all rioting and
violence in connection with the con-
troversies of this kind. And further
Be it resolved that copies of the
above be furnished each of the parties
to said dispute and to the press.
