"A few weeks ago we read in the
papers that the Anti-Horse Thief as
ISOLATION held meeting at Bluff Park
and some people supposed the name
to be modern joke, writes Jane Jor-
dan in the Fort Madison Democrat.
This association was formed In Lee
county In 1868, with the avowed pur-
pose OF assisting the officers OF the
law IN bringing Offenders to Justice.
and has held continuous yearly meet
ings ever since. It will doubtless die
a natural death and be superseded by
an auto thief association.

dent OF the Fort Madison Savings

which had been arranged by the ON
GERS and employees OF the bank IN

his desk was panel with the In
scription, MANY Happy Returns OF

The quincy Herald has the fol
lowing complimentary remarks in its
issue of the nth concerning the Keo-
kuk street car company: Keokuk has
some new street cars. which are not
only . big improvement over the
worn out, old-style cars that have
done service on the Keokuk street
railway for many years but in ways
are more up to date than the new
cars In service here. The new Keo-
kuk cars are pay-as-you-enters, oper-
ated by two men. and equipped with
the same airbrake equipment as the
near-side-stop cars In service on the
Twelfth street line in Quincy. They
are more up to date than the Twelfth
street cars in that they have cross
seats with an aisle down the center
az in passenger coaches. instead Of
the old style long benches, one on
each side OF the car. The cross seats,
each seating two persons, are much
more convenient and more popular
with the public than the other kind.
