city would not be giving most of the
commercial club support as in the
past. Mr.. Scallin emphasized the fact
that the new funds will not be avail
able until next year and that thoseA
who have. subscribed to the club and (
who have not paid should make it a
point to do so as the money is badly
needed at the present time.
General Silsby urged everybody.
including the young men of the city
to buy the $1.O0 membership cards at
once as nothing will show he'll boost
err spirit more. F. j. Herrick made a
talk in which he emphasized the work
accomplished by the retiring board
and he made the motion for the vote
of thanks and presided while the
vote was put.
Mr.. Upton in speaking of the new
traffic manager idea, made a motion
that the idea be strongly recommend
ed to the new board of directors and
that that body take such steps as 1T
sees fit. This motion carried.
War on Milwaukee.
Ed. Leehan next arose and in an
impassioned speech declared war on
the Milwaukee railway for alleged
determinations in freight rates and
he cited several fragrant examples to
illustrate his points. He declared that
local freights south of here were an
nulled without cause or reason and
that whereas they only now ran three
times a week, Sioux City jobbers
could get goods to such towns as Eth
an, Parkston and Trip any day OF
the week, which made the idea of a
Mitchell firm trying to compete with
the Sioux City houses practically out
of the question. He recommended
that the commercial club here finish
the work of using honeyed words to6l
the Milwaukee, which had alwayaT
been able to obtain anything it want
ed in Mitchell and that "Ae company
be approached in a stern matter of
business which affects every business
man in Mitchell.
Chas. Weller closed the evening
with one of his characteristic speech
es made in the true booster spirit
and he urged the strong support of
every person in the city in the back
of the commercial club and its ran
sactions. Chas. Adams also spoke
briefly and the meeting was adjourn
ed.
1t was undoubtedly one of the
most enthusiastic meetings the club
ecer held and for genuine accom-
plishment. it will probably rank at
the top among the many decisive
movements of the club. One hundred
fifty of the representative business
men were present and the number
who left the hall at tn close of the
banquet and before the business meet
ing started were n%oticeably few. The
business was transacted with quick
ness and dispatch and the entire
affair was over before $3.50 o'clock.

Keokuk Society and ~. r,,ro

Neokuk society and the Tango.
10 the Editor of The Gate City:
There are certain traditional beliefs
or certain local color-an indehnable
something about every city which in
dlv1dualizes 1t, just as certain traits Of
character individuaIize person. So
there are some peculiarities about
Keokuk and Keokuk society which no
outside influence could easily change,
One OF the things which from the he
ginning has characterized society here
is that 1t has always been above re.
proach In Its morals; 1t has always
been clean and decent From the day
when there was only little group OF
people living In log houses, cultivated
eastern and southern families, to the
present day. Keokuk society has been
clean and pure and wholesome. And
SO the Casual Observer who criti-
c1ses the action Of the directors of the
Country Club for abolishing the Tango
hasn't far to look for the cause of its
adjustment. Only some one who
doesn't really belong could question
why. The Tango and Keokuk society
are incompatible: the Tango can live
In the bowery but not here.

that hot fire had started In the boil

had opened with the heat and was
