News That Causes
Rejoicing.
THE DAMAGE is REMOVED
River Craft Will Now Be Pro-

Water.

Fort Madison, May S.-Launch
men of this city are elated over the
outcome of visit to the city of Ma
jor M. Meigs of the government riv-
Plans had been perfected for the
construction of a launch harbor, in
closing 100000 square feet, when it
was learned that the placing of per-
manent obstacles in the Mississippi,
such as the contemplated break wat
er, could be done only with permits
sion of the war department and con-
gress and that the securing of such
permission would take probably a
year or two.
Major Meigs declared that the
proposed harbor does not encroach
upon the present government levee
lines nor the shore line present be-
fore the raising of the water by the
Keokuk dam and hence no permits
sion of the government is necessary.
AS result there will be joint
meeting of the launch club with the
city council tonight to formulate
plans for the immediate construction
of the harbor.
The erection of the dam at Keo-
kuk converted the river at Fort
Madison into a lake mile in width.
Besides creating high waves and
other dangers to launches it mum
dated the broad shore previously ex-
listing between the rivers edge and
the Santa Fee fill. AS result hun
dreds of dollars of damage was done
to the boats and boat houses last
year.
This year a movement was started
to prevent the damage to river craft.
The water power company had pre-
sented the city with $4,000 to be
used in improving the river front.
Part of this sum was used to extend
the present river front parking and
part to erect the municipal boat
house and depot. The launch club
asked that the remainder be de-
voted to the construction Of launch
barber. The plans call for the build
ing of a continuous crib from the
Santa Fe bridge approach to point
four blocks east, on a line now some
200 feet out into the river but at
low water time it would have been
approximately along the shore line.
Within this break water will be am
pie and safe room for all the many
launches housed here. The crib will
be filled with rock and dredgings
from within the harbor.

The Key to the Bastile.

The bastile was the prison In
which French kings confined politi-
cal prisoners. Thousands Of limo
cent persons were sent to this prison
to avenge personal grievances Of at
taches of the kings, who issued let
tiers de cachet" to their ministers
and officers. The cause Of the arrest
was nowhere recorded, and victims
thus imprisoned might remain con-
fined in the dungeons for lifetime.
In 1889 the people Of Paris destroyed
the bastile after liberating all the
prisoners. The key was presented
BY Lafayette to Washington, and it
now hangs in the main hall of the
later mansion At Mount Vernon.

woody WEST
DISAPPEARS
New York Lads Imagination
Gets Him In
Bad.
HE TRIES A GREAT STUNT.
Writes Letter to Himself and Then
Forges Check to Get
Money.
E TRIES A GREAT STUNT.

Iowa City, May 9.-Carried away
by moving picture dramas OF the
west and by dime novels of cowboy
life, Reinhard Frye of Niagara Falls,
N. Y, who is under arrest here for
forgery, started his career as forg-
er by counterfeiting a letter to his
parents to secure the money to bring
him west.
About three weeks ago Frye show
ed his parents a letter which he told
them he had received from the west.
The letter was supposed to have
been written by man by the name
of John Barley, who was dying OF
consumption on ranch near Iowa
City. Barley said in his letter that
he was willing all. his property, his
ranch, and $1,000 to Frye in pay
ment for a kindness which the lat
ter had done for him many years
ago. The letter was being written
by Sally Gordon, little girl of IL,
Barley dicts ting the letter on his
death bed.
1t seems that Frye then told his
parents that woman living in Iowa
City was protesting the will and try
ing to deprive him of the estate be-
cause he had refused to marry her.
He told them that he was going
west to claim the ranch and proper
ty willed to him.
He had little money, so he per-
suaded his parents to give him $2O
to come to Iowa City. When Frye
arrived he found none of the scenes
which he had read about in the nov
els or seen in the motion pictures.
His money was gone and he was far
from home and relatives. His
dreams of the west were shattered
and as a last resort to get back to
his parents Frye forged the checks
which finally brought about his ar
rest.
The letter which the boy said he
had received, calling him to Iowa
City was given into the hands of the
officials here. 1t was written rough
ly and full of grammatical errors. 1t
was identified as being written by
the same person who penned the
forged checks.
