Musicians Are Delighted.


Mr.. Altschueler and his musicians
remarked about the splendid enterpris-
ing ability of the Monday Music club
in bringing them to Keokuk.
They have never played in Iowa IN
a smaller place than Des Moines, and
it is the general understanding that
they never go to cities Of this size,
SO Keokuk should be congratulated on
being able to hear such splendid
organization as the Russian Symphony
orchestra.
Two auto loads motored down from
Burlington-one party included Mrs.
Cate Gilbert Wells, president OF the
Burlington musical club, Mrs. Geo.
Howell Higbee, first vice president,
Mrs. Thomas Wilkinson, second vice
president. and Mrs. Hadley Of Boston.
The other party Of four was brought
to Keokuk by Mrs. James Moir and in
cluded Mrs. Geo. Stone Tracy, treas
urer of the Burlington club.
From Carthage were Mrs. Persey
Culkin and Mr.. and Mrs. Ferris.
From Warsaw were Mr.. and Mrs.
Richard Marsh, Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
Albers, Mrs. Giller and daughter,
Olivia
From Hamilton were Mr.. Henry Da.
Gant and wife and the Misses Valen-
tine and Clemence Dadant, and Miss
Clara Reed.

If BILIOUS, SICK
. Or CORSTIPATED
TAKE CASCARETS
No Headache, bad cold, sour
stomach or costive bowels
by morning.
Get a Decent box now.

NeI d IU-Ceul DOS now.
You're bilious! You have a throb-
bling sensation in your head, bad
taste in your mouth, your eyes burn.
your skin is yellow, with dark rings
under your eyes; your lips are
parched. No wonder you feel ugly,
mean and ill-tempered. Your system
is full of bile not properly passed off.
and what you need is a cleaning up
inside. Don't continue being bilious
nuisance to yourself and those who
love you, and don't resort to harsh
physics that irritate and injure. Re-
member that most disorders of the
stomach, liver and bowels are cured
by morning with gentle, thorough
Cascarets-they work while you sleep.
A 10-cent box from your druggist will
keep your liver and bowels clean;
stomach sweet, and your head clear
for months. Children love to take
Cascarets because they taste coed
and never grippe or sicken.

QUARANTINE WILL
NOT HURT MUCH
Packers Say Their Business Will be
But Slightly Afected by
Order.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
CHICAGO. Nov. 3.-Business at the
Chicago stock yards will be but slight
ly affected by thss government order
establishing a partial quarantine to
suppress the foot and mouth" dis
ease, packers declared today.
Under the official order as finally
promulgated, cattle, sheep and hogs
may be shipped to the stock yards for
purposes OF immediate slaughter from
all states excepting Indiana, Michigan,
Pennsylvania, and portions OF Ohio.
Cattle may be shipped from Illinois
points to the stock yards for immed-
late slaughter but may not pass out
side the state No liv.a stock may be
reshipped from the stock yards either
for purpose of fattening or immed-
late slaughter.
The business put under the ban
amounts to about 10 per cent of the
cattle industry and about IL per cent
of the sheep. Nearly all the stock
yards live stock supply comes from
the great western areas which are not
affected by the order.
Federal experts today expressed the
hope that the measure put into effect
here will be sufficient without extend
ing the quarantine order to other west
ern states or forbidding absolutely
the shipping OF stock to the Chicago
yards.
A force of 1000 men today began
fumigating the yards under the direc-
ton of federal officials.
