more sincerely at his success at the
polls. The en- home was where
Fred p Brockman now lives and 1t
was there MIR. Lincoln was entertain
ed when he spoke here during the
county fair, few weeks before the
election. The distinguished guest was
we'll aware of the political views or
his. hostess, but while recognized as
political opponent claim ed her as
personal friend. When the dark
clouds Of civil war swept over the
country, Mrs Allen encouraged and
cheere0 the young manhood of Brown
county as company after company
left for tia front, among them her
Younger brother, Lieut.. jeff. Burton,
who was killed in Kentucky by sue1-
illas.
Mrs. Sellars, whose maiden name
was Catherine Pettis Hosford, was
born in Ohio on Feb. IA, 1887, but to-
gether with her parents came to liii-
nois in early girlhood, locating IN
Pike county. After graduating from
the country schools OF that county,
she became a teacher and taught sew
eral terms of school in Pike county,
later moving to Brown county and
continuing in her profession as
taacher. During the civil war she
was conducting little country schoo;
near the old Sellars home in Elkhorn
township. While still teaching she
was married to Simon v. Sellars, who
died in 1904 at the age OF u. For
the past four years Mrs. Sellars has
made her home with her son, County
superintendent of Schools G. w. Se:-
lars Of this city, and Is remarkably
nimble for one Of her advanced years.
Mrs. Sellars is one of the old-time
democratic resid ants OF the southeast
part of the county. She has always
been interested in political affairs as
a disciple of Jefferson, as was her
husband throughout his whole llfe'
and also her parants before her. II
il no wonder therefore, that when
the time came for her to take an ac-
tive part in polotics, she promptly
aligned herself with the democracy
of her township.
Mrs. Pickett has lived in Mt. Ster-
ling since girlhood. Her HUSBAND,
George Pickett, died sixty-one years
ago, and since 1874 she has made her
home with her sister, Mrs. Ambrose
Putnam, on West South street Like
tho others, she too has been reader
of current politics, and naturally al
filiated with the party which had al
vavs impressed her with the general
soundness Of its policies.
All these damocratic girls walked
to the polls Saturday. We hope that
each may live to vote her sentiments
at many elections yet to come.

LIGHTNING STRIKES
TRANSMISSION LINE
Fort Madison Is Without Power for
Forty Minutes Saturday
as Result

An unusually severe electrical
storm which ragged in Illinois and
part of Iowa Friday night was re-
sponsible for the absence of Keokuk
power in Fort Madison for forty min
utes Saturday morning, says the FIT.
Madison Gem City. For the same
reason, Burlington was minus power
for three minutes. The private tele-
phone line of the Mississippi River
Power company as well as the Bell
long distance service was temporarily
out of commission between here ana
Keokuk. otherwise the Fort Madison
service would have been stopped but
three minutes.
There are two complete circuits
running up the river from Keokuk
and both Burlington and Fort Madi-
son are on the east circuit. During
the electrical storm. an unusually de-
structive bolt of lightning struck and
severed the east circuit line, burning
il in two. The falling wire struck
the private telephone wire of the
Mississippi River Power company,
putting the line out of commission.
Immediately the street cars and all
machinery dependent upon KsokuK
power in Fort Madison and Burling-
ton, stopped. In vain, Manager A. 5.
Nichols of the Fort Madison Electric
company tried to tell Keokuk OF the
trouble, but the private line wouldn't
work. The Bell long distance was
resorted to. but that line was out OF
commission also between here and
Iseokuk, so the only thing to do was
to wait till communication could De

1t Must Pay You

Unless the advertis ars who use
this newspaper can make their
business announcements of profit
to you they cannot hope to make
them of profit to themselves.
They must please you to make a
customer of you.
Naturally they are going to make
their offerings as attractive as pos
s.ble in their adv ertisements.
But more than that they are 60
ing to make good on their prom
ises.
Indeed, the wise advertiser tries
to do a little better than he proml-
sss.
It is to your own interest and to
the advantage Of your pocket-booh
to read the advertising in rep
resentative newspaper like The
Gate City.
Glance over the announcements
today and see how fully they cover
every human want.
