Wants Alleys Kept Clean.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
The past year the city, at the ex-
pense of the abutting property own
ers, has paved number OF alleys
with cement. Many of US hoped that
the city, after making these improve
ments, would enforce its ordinance
prohibiting the dumping Of ashes and
other rafuse in the alleys SO paved,
but this winter finds the alleys piled
high with ashes, as of old
If we are to have a new and bet
ter Keokuk," why not commence with
the streets and alleys, that hava been
improved, and keep them in clean
and sanitary condition.

Killed Self.

Goodbye, boys, ! am going tc
leave you."
With these words Muriel Davis,
16 years old, No. 2112 Empire
street, at 9 o'clock Saturday
night placed a 3S.caliber revolver
to his right temple and pulled
the trigger. He died instantly.
Davis was riding in a delivery
wagon belonging to Bert Lock
wood. a-Vrocer at No. 2lO3 Em.
pire, with Arthur Trease, driver,
and Virgil Hilton.
1t is said that Davis had been
using the revolver for target
practice and only two loaded
shells remained in it. It is sup
posed that he believed that the
hammer OF the gun would strike
one of the empty shells. The
boys were laughing and talking
just prior to the tragedy. It oc-
Cured near Twenty-ffth and
Annie Baxter streets.
Davis was rushed to 4 physi.
clans Office, but the shot had
killed him instantly. Davis liv.
ed with his grandfather, A. J.
Morton, city pOundmaster. His
parents are dead. He leaves a
sister II years ld.-Jopliu Globe.
The dead boy was a nephew of
W. B. Davis, living five miles
west of Baxter Springs. Bowen
Davis, the father of boy, was
killed by bad air in q mine, and
his mother fell down stairs aud
received injuries which resulted
in her death. The family seems
to be ill.fated.
The corOner's jury said death
was purely accidental.

Why Not Tag
Kansas Bachelors?

A great many State legisla-
tures have given consideration to
bills taxing bachelors and many
convincing arguments have been
presented why men who escape
matrimony should pay a penalty,
but why not tag them as a more
painless and effective method of
determination? If the bachelors
were tagged the widows could
easily find them and Cupid would
do the rest. The bachelor is
naturally timid, but under the
encouraging influences of a merry
widow he cen easily be led to the
altar, for there is no more help
less craft afloat than a love-sick
swain who has passed the age of
discretion, and the little imp that
plays ping-pong with human
hearts has no more capable ally
than a woman who loves at sec
ond sight, for experience makes
Cupid subtle and bold.
The women have tag days to
promote most every other public
enterprise, and why not a tag
day for bachelors? We have in
Kansas approximately fifty thous.
and bachelors and an equal mum.
Der of widows. Why not get
them together and solve two vex.
atious problems with one mar
riage license?

Speed Ordinance.

At its last regular meeting the
city council passed an ordinance
regulating traffic and speed of
automobiles and motor cycles.
All this is absolutely necessary.
Some drivers of autos have abso-
lutely no regard for the safety of
others, and drive as if pursued
by the devil. We trust the speed
maniacs will be hauled into court
as fast as the ordinance is dis
obeyed.
The ordinance is published in
this pager. Better read it, and
become acquainted with its pro-
visions. It is patterened after
the state law and is fire proof.
