the street cars after that time. AS a
result the cars were stalled from
eight o'clock until tw snty-fve minutes
after nine when the current from
Keokuk was turned on again and the
cars set in motion, and ten minutes
later the street lights burned with
their accustomed brilliance.
The local company used what pow
er it has to keep the incandescent
lights in stores and dwellings going,
so that there was no interruption
there. The arc lights had, to be cut
off, however, which kept the city thor
oughfares in a state OF darkness until
after nina o'clock.

When the first interruption occur

big glare of lightning in the tower. or

Burlington Hawk-Eye: One OF the

in Burlington, since that power began

what seemed to be an ordinary cleo

The break was caused by The cables
which transmit the power from the
big dam at Keokuk, becoming so over
charged with electricity. that they
fairly burst, rendering service over
them useless until they could be
mended. Thus all the cities that are
served by the power company north
of Keokuk, were without service most
all of yesterday.

No keokuk Current.

After noon there was absolutely no
current from Keokuk and the Peoples
Gas & Electric Co. was forced to fire
up the boilers in the old plant on
Fourth street in order to supply the
city with light and power. This was
considerable of task as the plant
had not been used for some time and
it was three o'clock before things
were in working order. Mr. D. D.
B entzinger, general superintendent of
the company. received a telephone
mssage from Keokuk to the effect
that there would be no power from
there until some hour in the evening.
Mr.. Bentzinger spent most of the day
at the plant, getting thu machinery
into shape to care for the Saturday
night business, as there always are a
great many people down town then
who patronize the street cars. Con-
sidering the handicap which the local
company labored under they did re-
markedly well to start the street cars
and lights with power generated here,
in such a short time.

that time he was an earnest, thought
full and judicious advocate in advancing
the material interest of the community
in which he lived, educational religious
and of moral development. But it was
as justice of the peace that | knew
him most thoroughly and appreciat-
lively. He had a judicial mind. the legal
points in controversy and the results
were real and practical. May his ashes
rest in peace and his memory be cher

and may the consolation attendant
upon such a retrospective view OF life
and purpose bind the wounded hearts
