Primary Election Day In keokuk is
Quiet One and Only Aver
age Number 10
Cast
KNOW RESULT TUESDAY
Expected That Total Votes Will Not
Be Counted Until Some Time
.Tomorrow-None
Tonight.

Today was primary election day in
Keokuk. But 1t created q small
amount OF interest among the voters
OF the city. to. Judge from the number
which were to be seen about the
polls. There seemed to be minimum
OF interest, the vote was not even
average and there seems little con-
Germ over the outcome outside OF the
county Offices, and family quarrel in
the democratic ranks between Con-
molly and Meredith.
Even with the light vote cast there
is little possibility of hearing anything
of the results until some time tomor-
row morning or afternoon. The coun-
ty precincts may get in by tomorrow
morning, but the results here prob.
ably will not lie known until noon or
later
The weather which prevailed in
Keokuk today was of much the same
variety as prevailed over the state,
and the farmers took advantage OF it,
and worked in the fields rather than
going to the polls.
In Keokuk there seemed to be very
little interest manifest as TO the re.
suit. The clerks and election judges
reported light votes at practically all
OF the precincts. The size of the
ticket, however, makes counting out
early, out of the question for even a
small vote.
The democratic vote was heavier
than usual In Keokuk and 1t was brisk
in the rural districts on account OF
the Connolly Meredith breach. There
seemed to be some interest in this,
bu: little shown for governor or rep.
resentatives in congress. The efforts
OF Governor Clarke to be nominated
for a second term were believed to be
bright by Clarke's friends here. Cum
Minis candidacy for senator was said
to be the favorite OF the republicans
who went to the polls here today
Charles A. Kennedy, first distric. rep
resentative, is unopposed by a repub
lican candidate.
This is the first time that non
partisan ticket was voted buS the
voters seemed to have no trouble
handling It. The four candidates for
district Judge are sure to be on the
ticket next fall.
Figures obtainable from The voting
places between 1870 and 2:30 o'clock
this afternoon show that the following
number has been cast:

FIREMEN ASKING
INCREASE IN PAY
Members of Local Department Circu-
Iatine Petition Among Business
Men Before Asking Council.

A petition asking for a raise in pay
for the members of the keokuk fire
department is today being circulated
among the business men OF the city.
The firemen are asking for slight
increase. and feel that If they could
have the backing of the merchants OF
the town, their petition would have
more effect when presented to the
city council
The raise which the firemen are ask
ing for will amount to about ten
dollars per month. They are on duty
practically all of the time, having to
answer alarms even on their days off,
SO that they are on duty practically
all Of the time. They base their Pc
tition on the increased cost of living.
The Gate City Is inclined to the
belief that the firemen are entitled
to an increase in pay. They are re-
quired to be on duty practically all Of
the time While they are not engaged
in actual physical work all of the
time their presence is required. They
are not unlike other men-they have
to meet the increased cost Of living
and 1t is hoped the city officials can
see their way to increase the pay OF
.he firemen. They have had the ques.
ton up on former occasions. The con-
dition of the city treasury is not such
as to justify very much additional
expense but in the case of the fire
men The Gate City feels that raise

Stork Gets Too Busy.

Waupon, Wis, Feb. 26-Six years
ago the Loomans Lumber company
promised John Howard, an employee,
that with every arrival of the stork
his pay would be increased. Howard
had just married.
At the end of year the first baby
arrived. When he saw the boost in
the figure on Howard's pay check.
President l. F. Rossman of the lum-
Der company smiled.
1T is a worthy deed" he said as
he signed the check.
The next year twins arrived and
the following year brought two more
babes. At the end of the fourth year
President Rossman smiled only faint
ly as he signed the pay check and at
the end of the fifth year he smiled
not whit.
Encouraged by it's more enthusi-
astic reception each time it arrived
the stork on Wednesday brought trip
lets. Then the employer applied the
recall to his promise.

$36,O15 FARM SALE.
w. w. BOland, Prominent Farmer of
North English, Has Big Stock
Sale.

What probably was the biggest
sale on a farm in the history of Iowa
was last week on the farm of w. w.
Boland, near North English. In
about five hours Colonel c. C. Evans
and H. A. Dunlap sold 100 head of
horses and mules, AIS head of cat
tie and $50 hogs. These animals
brought Mr.. Boland total sum of
S36,O15. All of the animals were
RAISED by Mr.. Boland Farmers from
all parts of Iowa and from Illinois
and Missouri were present as buyers.
Mr.. Eoland was highly pleased with
the result when the sale closed at
O'Clock, and said that considering the
farming situation, he got more for
his stock than he could have expect
ed. At the sale Mr.. Boland proved
himself one of the best sale manag-
ers in Iowa. He has quit farming
and has rented the farm on which
the sale was conducted.
