three year old daughter of Mr..

Magnolia, was painfully burned
when the boiler accidentally
tipped IN building a fire at the
home yesterday. DR.. F. H
Hansen was called and gave
the necessary attention. The
child was burned on the har d ,

recover in the due course of
time, yet she is a great sufferer

Letter From
Mr.. F. Tennyson Nicely

Missouri Valley, Ia, August
10th, 1914 Editor The Times:
Dear Sir desire to express
my appreciation for the unus-
ually cordial reception which
has been given me ard for the
remarkable interest shown by
the Chautauqua audience, and
your citizens IN relation to the
conditions in Mexico
The questions asked Saturday
evening showed exceptional
knowledge and keen desire for
facts. After the lecture Satur-
day evening persons came to
me for facts, showing how eag-
erly information is sought. |
have never addressed q more
attentive ard enthusiastic audi
ence than found here. | re-
greet not ha ing more time to
devote, and if any persons will
give me further questions l will
gladly reply to them directly
or through your paper. l
will also be pleased to write ar
ticles on any subject or condi-
tons in Mexico, which you or
your citizen may wish and will
mail these to you from the va
rlous points during my tour on
the Midland Chautauqua circuit.
Any persons having land or
property of any kind in Mexico
should write to the State De-
partment, Washington, D. c.,
SO that they may be protected
from the outrage of the excess
sive war tax which was levied
by the late Mexican govern
ment, and which our President
refused to acknowledge.
We are the greatest nation
on earth and stand for peace.
There is no need nor possibility
of our going to war with the
poor, oppressed, starving Mexi.

c. p. O'Neal Injured

c. T. Neal, living west Of
Loveland, was quite badly in
jured last night when he fell
out of his hay loft. He was up
in the loft getting hay for the
stock when a board in the floor
gave way beneath him and he
was thrown down injuring his
lack quite severely but the ex-
tent cannot be told yet. He
was taken to the house and a
physician called who did all
possible to relieve the suffering
man and today he is resting
quite easily. 1t will take a few
days yet to tell the exact ex-
tent of his injuries.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. C0mstock

Monday to lay Sixth street, but
the work will uot be started
before that time.
Corn is beginning to fire con-
siderably. A good rain would
help most of it, but there is
considerable that is beyond help

SAYS WILSON is o. X.
president Wilson is pursu-
ing exactly the right course in
refusing to interfere in the
Mexican trouble. Suppose you
had a bill against a man, and
when you went to collect it you
found the man and wife engag.
ed in a family quarrel. Would
you try to square with the man
by helping his wife whip him?
No, you would wait till the
fight was over and then present
your bill. That is what Wilson
will do with Mexico.
II say let the Mexicans fight.
They are mongrels. They vii
not learn progress Send them
wheelbarrows and they will
take the wheels off and drag
the barrows. Send them plows
md they will take IF one
handle before they will use
them. You can't beat a pro
gressive idea into them. The
president did right when he re-
moved the embargo on arms
His only fault was that he did.
1T do it soon enough.
There is absolutely no jus.
ice, honor or integrity in the

all the people. If two men are

A BRIEF STORY OF MEXICO
The motto of all rulers of
Mexico has been: He may
take who has the power. and
he may hold who can.
Mexico is one-third the size
of the United States, with fif-
cen to twenty million people;
any census is a guess. There
are the descendants from a
great civilization once in Next
co shown by the wonderful
prehistoric ruins probably six
thousand years old
There are 3,lOO miles of
coast on the Pacific and 1900
miles on the Gulf side. The
Government is a Republic.

Probably there is no such
favored spot in all the world as
Mexico, which for wealth of
millions in minerals, variety of
growth of vegetation and tim
Der, fruits and flowers, surpass
es any country on earth. 1t

FILES EXCEPTIONS
TO SLOAN'S REPORT
Attorney for the City Claims Special
Master Erred In Several Points
in Findings.

Exceptions to the report fled by
Judge Robert Sloan. special master
in the telephone case, were filed late
Friday afternoon by the attorneys for
the city of Keokuk There are fifteen
exceptions to the masters rulings.
The attorneys for the city claim
that the master erred in holding that
section 1924 Of the code of 1873 as
amended by chapter 104 of the acts of
The nineteenth G. A. allows the COM
pany to use the street and alleys o.
Keokuls permanently. Exception is
also taken to the ruling that section
1924 as amended by chapter 104 of
the nineteenth G. A. Is applicable to
Keokuk because prior to April. 1910,
the city was acting under special
charter and that amending said sec
ton by inserting words telephone
after telegraph affected the charter
laws and powers of the city.
1t is the claim Of the city that the
master erred in saying that the power
to regulate does not authorize the
city to make and regulate rates and
charges for use of the telephone.
The city declares the master erred
in holding that sections 775, 776. 955
$50 and $50 do not affect the complain
ants retrospectively as we'll as pros
pectively because Of the provisions OF
section 1919 giving the Legislature
control of and over the acts of the
city.
The claim is made, too. that the
court erred in declaring ordinance No
42S null and void and that the defend
ant should be enioined.
