SEXTON BODY MAY
HAVE BEEN FOUND
FIoater 10 Picked up This Morning at
Quincy and May be That Of
Drowned Local
Youth.
ATTEMPTS TO IDENTIFY
Someone From Here Will go to
Quincy and In Meantime Search
Will Not be Given up
Here.

A body, which may be that Of Char
les Y. Sexton, who was drowned in
the river here night before last, was
fished out Of the river at Quincy, ILL.,,
this morning according to a telegram
received here by Sheriff John j.
Crimmins from the Quincy authorities.
Some one from Keokuk will 60 10
Quincy this afternoon In the endeav-
or to identify the body, Mrs. Sexton,
mother OF the drowned man said.
The body found at Quincy was nude,
according to the despatch sent to
Sheriff Crimmins. It was thought to
be that of man about "a years old.
Knowing of the tragedy here, the
Quincy authorities communicated at
once with Keokuk.
Search was kept up all night We'd
nesday night in the hopes Of finding
the body of the man who was drown
ed at the foot Of Bank street. 1t was
given up yesterday morning as the
friends of the young man were worn
out with their all night vigil. 1t was
resumed again yesterday afternoon.
Fishermen were notified all along
the river south of here to be on the
look out for the body. 1t was thought
that the electrical storm on Wednes-
day night would help to raise it per-
haps.
If the body which was picked up
at Quincy it that of young Sexton, it
is evident that it was swept by the
current below where the watchers
were searching and coming to the
surface soon afterwards was borne
down the stream.
An attempt will be made to identify
the body at once, and in the mean
time the search below Keokuk has not
been given up.

But Committees Find That Merchants
Are Only Lukewarm When Il
Comes to Giving Any
Money.
MAKE DECISION LATER
Contributions Promised Are About
Same az Have Been Given in
Past to Old Street
Fairs.

While the merchants in Keokuk
seem to favor the idea OF fall cele
bration Of some sort, still they are
only lukewarm in the matter of con
tribut1ng, as one Of the committee do
ing the soliciting stated today. The
committees were out yesterday after
noon and this morning. and they
found that the general sentiment is
in favor Of celebration, but there is
no great outburst Of enthusiasm over
the matter.
Officers of the Retail League init
mated that there was going to be no
forcing of fall celebration on the
town and If the merchants do not feel
that they care to contribute to this
fund, there will be nothing doing in
the line Of a celebration. If cele-
bration is going to be held it will be
promoted voluntarily.
OF the committeeman seen today all
had the same thing to say of the re-
they would contribute. It was that
the merchants were only luke warm
in the matter of subscriptions.
Another chairman reported that
the merchants were going to give
about what they did for the old street
fairs. the contributions ranging from
$40 to $50. The contributions which
we're promised the committee in case
a celebration was held ranged for the
most part between $40 and $25.
In one case there was an absolute
refusal reported. In this instance
the business man declared that he did
not favor any kind of celebration
and that he would not feel like con-
tributing.

NEW YORK, July 17.-After good
deal of irregularity in the early trad
ng which followed some show Of i'm
Erovement at the opening, there was
rather heavy selling Of stocks in the
last hour of today's stock market,
which depressed the whole list This
selling became pronounced around
delivery hour and caused decided
weakness in sucn stocks as Missouri,
Kansas and Texas; Baltimore and
Ohio: Erie and a few other issues,
which were heavily sold. Most of the
low priced shares were affected by
this movement, and before the close
many of the active stocks showed de-
clines of one or two points for the
day. On the late decline, the mar
ket broadened and there was heavy
selling in some of the issues that had
previously shown fair resistance. Be
fore the close, there was a partial
recovery which helped most Of the
