LA DAVENPORT'S life had been
devoted to the upbringing of four or
phaned nephews and nieces. Now
that the last of them was married,
she was left alone, except for two
elderly maid servants, in the big old
house with its faded brocade curtains
and solid, not unbeautiful furniture.
Now and then one of the said nephews
and nieces would descend upon her
and pay a flying visit to cheer her up.
1t did always cheer her up; but it

FORT MADISON, Iowa, March IL.
Residents of Jefferson township aD-

against the taxes assessed against
land which has been overfiowed by the
back water from the dam. The resi-

1t is claimed that the lsAd which is
overf1owed, is valueless, and that the
assessor has nevertheless assessed
this land. For this reason the resi-
dents are asking that the tax be can
celled.
Another cause for complaint the
residents say, is that where the vat

overflow damages, the county asses

Statement by

Mr.. H. T. Edgar. president OF the
Keokuk Electric company who is in
the city, in an interview with repre-
sentative Of The Gate City, made the
following statement:
Sometime in January when / was
in Keokuk. Mayor Elder and Mr.. Joy,
president Of the Industrial Associa-
ton, took up with me the question of
a proposed street car extension for the
purpose of opening up some new ter
ritory. and eventually building to the
new baseball grounds.
Several routes were looked over
and the route out Palean street and
Mckinley avenue was decided upon as
being the best way to reach the ball
grounds. Mr.. A. L. Ackerly and Mr.
w. H. Shields have agreed with the
company that they will build and
have completed some time during this
year, ten new houses on this proposed
street car line. The plan Is to build
a line this year to the Kilbourne tract
and early next year, extend it to the
baseball grounds, providing the base
ball association will agree to play
baseball at that point and abandon the
present grounds.

The proposed extension Of the street

mately parallel Grand avenue. The
selection of the above named route
eliminates the other.
BY the decision of the company to
build this extension the proposed Des

1t will probably be made in the sum

African Hunt Pictures.

With the coming of the Paul ].
Rainey's African hunt pictures to the
Grand this evening, theatre goers of
this city will have an opportunity of
seeing what Is considered by the
American Geographical Society and
the American Institute of Natural
History as the most marvellous mo-
ton picture ever taken. Probably
more than in any pictures Of recent
years do these films, made by Mr..
Rainey in the jungles OF Africa, have
a genuine educational value. They
should. at any rate, prove more attrac-
tive to the average theatre-goer and
seeker after knowledge, than any book
or play could possibly hope to accom-
plish. Hunting big game with cam
era has been one Of Mr.. Rainey's hob
bies for years, and when he plunged
into Africa with moving-picture op-
orator, he could hardly have expected
to achieve the results that will be
shown at the Grand theatre, when
these pictures are presented for the
first time tonight.
These pictures were not taken for
public exhibition and 1t was more by
accident than anything else that gave
Mr.. Rainey any idea OF their CONNER
cial value. They were taken for his
own pleasure, and not as business
project. Hunting wild African game
with moving-picture machine is a
sport for the few, for it entails enorm-
GUS expense and countless dangers
but Rainey is sportsman, not show
man. The pictures will show the big
gest and widest Of African wild anil
mails in their natural condition.
