proclamation was issued by Secretary
-ofWar Garrison, by authority and ex-
press direction of the president, call
ing upon every person in the strike
zone who has arms or ammunition
to turn them in to the United States
army forces in command.
The order was crisp with military
imperativeness. 1t applies principally
to the armed strikers and mine
guards. 1t may apply to the state
militia.
The proclamation sent by the sec
rotary of war to Major HOIbrook, in
command at Trinidad, Col, reads:
Whereas, Under existing circum-
stances the possession of arms and
ammunition by persons not in the
military service of the United States
tends to provoke disorder and to in
cite domestic violence and binders
the restoration of normal conditions
Of peace and good order, l do, by the
authority of the president of the
United States, call upon and direct all
persons not In the military service
of the United States who have arms
or ammunition in their possession or
under their control to deliver them
forthwith to the officer at the place
herein designated. Receipts will be
issued for all arms and ammunition
so delivered. The above applies to
individuals, firms, associations and
corporations.
This drastic step was taken by the
president to stop civil war and blood
shed in Colorado following a confer
ence last night with Secretary Gar
Tison, when it was decided to or
der more troops to Colorado.
A time limit will be set for the sur
render Of arms by civilians and places
designated for their receipt by the
United States military authorities.

CUT APPROPRIATION
FOR MISSISSIPPI
River Work In This Vicinity Will be
Just one-haH Of What
Expected.

UNITED Press Leased Wire service.l
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Although
friends Of the rivers and harbors bill
agreed to a little above $34 10000
this big concession failed to win over
opponents of the bill and the pros
poets were tonight that when the bill
finally passes the senate-if It does
SO at all this session-it will carry
appropriation Of less than $25 ,000. 600.
Friends of Senator Burton, who Is
leading the opposition TO the bill,
point out that they are winning points
in their fight because every dollar cut
from the river and harbor bill means
one dollar less which will have to be
raised by the war tax.
Opposition to the bill as amended
by the committee and as it will be Of
fered on Monday as substitute for
the pending bill, is based on the
ground that the committee in pairing
the appropriations has merely post
poned until next year instead Of
eliminating them altogether. Most OF
the cuts were made frankly because
the work they were for could wait I'M
til next year withou. damage. Other
big cuts were on the basis OF nine
months work instead Of twelve. In a
conference Of majority members of
the committee after the pruning was
completed. Senator Burton said he
objected principally to the item which
pledged the government to the Cum
berland river project. He also ex-
pressed strong opposition to the i'm
provement of the Sacramento and
Feather rivers.
The principal cuts agreed upon to-
day were on the Mississippi river ap-
preparations. From the mouth Of the
river to st. Louis the appropriation
was cut from 100000 to $4,000, 900;
from the mouth of the Ohio to st.
Louis from 100000 to $500, 900.
while from that point up to 81. Paul
e appropriation was cut from W.
100000 to s750,oo0 Thus the total
cut in the Mississippi river appropria-
! ton was $3,450,00o boston harbor
of 100000 was cut out altogether.
! The right to contract for improve
ments to the Ohio river OF 100000
was stricken out as was a similar
item Of s2.600,OO0 for the Columbia
river.
! In Georgia the A,tama river i'm
provement appropriation was cut from
Sf5, 900 70 $4,000. the Chattahcochee
from $4,000 to $4,000 and the Ohio

DID YOU NOTICE, Mr.. loyal. home

EVER BEFORE IN THE HISTORY
OF THE CITY? Did you let that
fact soak in properly. Did you real
lie what this means; that IT ACIu
ALLY shows greater permanent

has had.
ANYBODY will admit that there are
not as many "bohunks" in the city as
there were during the building OF the
dam. But We did not expect them TO
remain here. Anybody will admit
that there are not as many young
men-clerks. architects, engineers, ETC..

to remain here. They came, remain
ed a few months and were gone.
They were just as much legitimate
population as travelling men, Or vlsi-
tors. We have not lost in population
because they have gone.
RUT, CAN YOU ADMIT that more
school children than ever before, is
not an actual, honest, proven increase
in population? II you cannot admit
and see that, then you are surely
hopeless. Keokuk perhaps has lost
in the number of its migratory popu-
1ation, but It has gained in its per-

WHAT COUNTS.

ference during those two years. They
will spend considerable money. But
they are not of permanent value.

The attention that lately has been

now comes the latest one from Fort
Y Madison source, and concerns the
Santa Fe. At first glance the story
seems absurd. In figuring revenue
which might be obtained, however, the
change does not seem so out of pro-
portion to things.
The story is from Fort Madison
source. which gives a little more
color to it, considering the fact that
Fort Madison has always considered
the Santa Fee anchored in that city.
& The story is told, that If the smell
Ster plant which was secured by the
Mississippi River Power company To-
scates in Keokuk, the Santa Fe will
change its route to include this city.
The reason for such a move is said
to be the desire to secure portion
Or all Of the ore business which will
naturally be done when the plant gets
into running order.
The Fort Madison man who sug-
gested this alleged change of base
said that much Of the ore would be
shipped from Santa Fe territory in
the west. The company would be
able to control all of the business it
was pointed out If they could have a
direct line into KeokuR.
While the Santa Fe would be vel
coined in Keokuk it is hardly consid-
cred probable in railroad circles here,
that the prospect OF hauling car loads
of ore would cause the road to make
very great changes in its presen,
route. That it would be easy TO

would face the problem Of bridge ia
