"The Rosary"

Telling a story through which runs
virile religious sentiment that Is
heart-touching, and yet is not of the
nature to bring offense. "The Rosary
the play OF Edward e. Roses which
proved such big success last season,
is repeating this year with added bril-
liancy. While the central figure is
that of Catholic priest, the charac-
ter is SO drawn that the question OF
sectarianism Is not in any way In
volved. Rev. Brian Kelly Is present
ed as a man of God, whose greatest
thought is the good he can do for his
fellowman Of whatever creed or OF no
creed, and Mr.. Jack Lewis who fills
the character, seems to have caught
the authors inspiration In his con-
ception OF the role as the audiences
at the Hippodrome will see when the
production is presented next Sunday,
July 5. He plays keen Irish sense
of humor and good will as foil to
his priestly calling, and thus Is able
to solve the depths Of domestic
tragedy and restore happiness to a
home that is near destruction through
the Vaccinations Of designing vii
lain who seeks revenge because an
other has won the woman he loves.
He wantonly brings the loving wife
into disrepute. after running her sis
ter, but also plots the wrecking OF
the fortunes Of his successful rival,
who believes him a steadfast friend.
II is the office Of the priest to un-
ravel the tangle and restore tranquil
ity, perfecting moral that should be
witnessed by everybody, as well az
enjoyed.
The cast chosen for the presenta-
ton, consisting Of Mr.. Jack Lewis
and his excellent company now on
their fiftieth performance at the Hip
podrome. The scenic equipment OF
the production Is beautiful as well as
effective. The staging of the show Is
a credit to Mr.. Lewis.-A0vertise-

plenty Of Noise on Friday Night Ush-

bration Yesterday.
MANY PEOPLE LEFT CITY
Picnic Parties, Auto Parties and Fish
ing Parties Are Means Of OBJ
serving Day for Local
People.

Fourth of July for the most part
was safe and sane one in Keokuk.
There was one very serious accident
reported during the day, and last
night one alarm of fire was turned in.
It started from IRE works but was not
serious. A plate glass window In
Charles Abell's store was the target
for rocket Friday night.
AS whole, Saturday was noisy
but the noise was not as deafening az
in former years owing to the restric-
tons on the size of the fire crackers.
The use Of smaller fire crackers and
sparklers was more general than in
any other year. The restriction on
blank cartridges and canes has helped
great deal to lessen the noise making
properties OF independence Day.
Friday night was especially noisy,
one Of the noisiest in years, here.
There was great exodus of local
people yesterday. Picnic parties
proved the popular method in which
to celebrate. Isaac Walton did not
sign the Declaration Of Independence
but his followers were on the job yes
terday. Fishing parties we're in evil
dence from early In the morning until
late in the evening. Some came
back empty handed and others were
able to produce some good strings.
Any number of local people took adj
vantage Of the various boat trips Of
Tered. The celebration at Bluff park
attracted large number Of folks from
keokuk. Quite number went to
Quincy to take part in the festivities
there.
The Country club was a popular
place for the members. The club
house and grounds were taxed to care
ior the crowd which celebrated the
Fourth at the spacious club.

Would Give Power.
It effectuaily and forever covers all
Instructions to the navigation Of the
river, on the lower rapids, or SO much
Of them as It may be deemed expedient
to overflow. 1t gives inexhaustible
hydraulic power on both sides OF the
river. also a magnificent steamboat
harbor and landing. 1t cannot be aft
fected by Ice, flood or fire. and conse-
quently when completed may be con-
sfdered there for all times. No Uhjec-
ton can be entertained that navigation
would be obstructed by requiring all
vessels passing up or down, to go
through the locks, as the great depth
procured would make comparatively
still water, and enable craft to run on
a direct line, thus compromising for all
delay, also obviating the necessity OF
changing pilots. There being nineteen
feet fall in the first four miles, would.
give sufficient head Of water for all
manufacturing purposes, which can be
really made available, along the bluffs
on either side, and on this (the Illinois)
side the slough forming Island No. :
would offer ample waste-way.
To sum up. 1t is cheaper than any
other plan of improving the rapids, and
combines three times the advantages.
It is more durable than any other plan
yet suggested. Cars can run at great
er speed than over q bridge. and cro9s-
ing can be effected at all hours and at
all seasons.

cultural and wool growing region. also
near the vast mineral resources OF
Missouri and the North. It is easier
OF access to the cotton fields OF the
south than any Of the manufacturing
cities of the east, and there Is no
reason why large manufacturing city
might not be built up here, and make
Saint Louis the great depot OF manu-
featured goods. And the time is COM
ing rapidly when the crude material
must be worked up somewhere in the
Mississippi valley, to supply the vast
population now setting towards the
Pacific, which must necessarily be
agricultural or mining In its character.
It is further necessary from the fact
that the people of the west can no
longer afford to pay the exhorbitant
tariffs for transportation, both on pro-
duce and manufactured goods. Why
not bring the manufactures and oper-
atives here and feed them, instead OF
sending supplies to the New England
states, and thus save enough annually
to build the entire work?
/ would earnestly invite the atten-
ton OF capitalists and men of eper-
prise to give the plan a careful con-
sideration. And, although not an en-
gineer, l am thoroughly convinced OF
it's feasibility, and Of which l think
can convince anyone who will take
the trouble to inquire.
