sion OF opinion from all OF the busi-
ness men in the matter.
There are three questions which
must OF course be answered by the
business men. The first is whether
fall celebration for the city Is adj
yisable or desirable. The consensus
OF opinion seems to be that 1t IL de-
sirable. Keokuk has had nothing or
this sort for number OF years, and IL
the right sort OF celebration were
staged, It is believed it would be Of
immense advertising value to the city.

The second and third questions fol-
low in natural sequence. II the busi-
ness men want a celebration what
kind of one shall 1t be. and how much
money are they willing to give 70

The Iowa weather crop bulletin
for the week ending July IL has just
been issued as follows: This has been
the Hottest and one OF the driest
weeks of the season. The average
temperature was about s degreee
above the normal and the daily max
imum temperatures ranged from 81
to 104 degrees. The rainfall was de-
cidedly deficient except In q few 10
cahties, of small area, where heavy
local showers occurred. The excee-
sive heat and dry weather are begin
ming to show injurious effects on corn
in the southern counties, but the crop
as whole is making rapid growth
and is still in good condition. The
early planted fields. In all parts OF
the state, are tasse1ing and are ap-
preaching that stage of growth when
rain will be needed soon. Fayorable
conditions have prevailed for haying,
harvesting and threshing. Consider
| able rust is reported in late oats and
smut Is appearing in many localities
where the seed was not treated. the
rust, however, is the red variety and
came too late to do serious harm. In
some sections more or less rust Is
reported in all small grain The early
potato crop is nearly failure.

Thursday afternoon FIVE committees
OF three men each will start out from
the Retail League to canvass the bust
ness men to find out whether or not
a fall celebration shall be held In
Keokuk. This action was decided up
on yesterday afternoon at a meeting
Of the Refill League directors.
The question OF holding a fall cele-
bration has been preached before at
one Of the first meetings OF the league
The directors decided that 1t was
time now to get right after the local
business men to secure their senti-
ments in the matter. II fall cele-
bration is to be held, work must COM
mence at once on the executive part
of the celebration.

decide on what kind of celebration

of the plans which seems to be meet

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE

When Stephen Lantier. his
friend Maheu. and the other coal
miners of Voureux go to the mine
offices to draw their fortnightiy
wages they are astounded to find
a notice posted announcing a re-
duction in their scale of pay. This
is crushing blow to the miners,
for by toiIing long hours and
taking their wives and children
into the mines to work with them
they are able under the present
scale to earn barely enough to
keep body and soul together.
