SURPRISED FRIENDS
Dempsey Anderson and Miss
Mamie Coleman Fgure in
ElOpement

An elopement that brought the
usual surprise with it, occurred
Saturday when Dempsey Ander-
son and Miss Nancy Coleman
went to Brunswick and were
married about $3.50 O'Clock Sat-
urday evening by Rev. Gresham
at the home of the minister.
The marriage concluded a trip to
the Cutoff when aparty of young
folks including Ebert and
Dempsey Anderson and Misses
Madge Taylor, Mary and Nan
cy Coleman went out Saturday
morning to spend the day. The
young folks remained at the
Cutoff all day and in the evening
drove to Brunswick where the
marriage took place. The af-
fair was arranged before the
party left the town for the Cut
off but not many Of their friends
or relative knew anything of the
plans. The wedding was
witnessed by Elbert Anderson,
Misses Mary Coleman and
Madge Taylor. After the cere-
mony, the three latter returned
to Keytesville and Mr.. and Mrs.
Anderson remained at Bruins
wick, returning to the Coleman
home Sunday morning. They
remained at the Coleman home
the first part of the week. The
bride is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. John Coleman and is
an excellent young woman. She
has lived here all her life ex-
ceptng the time she has been at
school at Fayette. Her husband
is the elder son of Mrs. Julia
Anderson of this city. He like
wise has lived here all his life
with the exception of the time
he spent at the university at
Columbia and the college at
Fayette. Both husband and
wife are bright, industrious
young people and they will have
the best wishes of their many
friends in society and other
circles of the city and county.

One Good Point

One good point about the
elections here is that the can
'didates have to make but one
fight. In some states where
political parties are more evenly
represented than here, the can
didates not only have to fight for
nomination but they have to
fight for the election. If the
candidates here worked as hard
as they do now for the primar-
les and then had to keep it up
until the general election they
would be worn to a frazzle. It
is hard enough work as it is
but it might be worse.

ELECTION SURPRISES
All Officials Up For Reelection
We're Defeated Entirely
New Blood

The election Tuesday passed
off without much friction. There
was some money floating around
and a few Of the usual election
drunks. AT night the people
gathered at the park to hear the
returns and cheer their favorites
as the votes indicated they had
more than stemmed the tide.
It was a bad day for the
present officials. All those who
stood for reelection were de-
feated. It was the day for a
change Of administration. There
were likewise some surprises.
Congressman Rucker made
short work Of farmer Jones
both in this and other counties.
He probably viii figure about
5000 in the lead in the Congress-
ional district.
John D. Taylor lost in this
county but won in Linn county.
It is figured officially that DIR.
Wallace got a majority in the
district amounting to 1S1
votes.
In the local field Walter Wright
was the fastest runner with
Dick Hunt and Warner White on
the trail. Reference to the un-
official vote published on another
page will show how closely these
men came to piling up the same
pluralities and majority. They
all ran about 600 votes ahead Of
their nearest competitors.
The closest race was that for
prosecuting attorney. Rucker
was beat by McKittrick by less
than 100 votes. This was a hot
race. 1t was a continuous per
formance for some weeks with.
speeches and all the paraphernalia
of q campaign in presidential
year. The fight all the way
through has been a hard one.
Candidates have been going the
rounds for months and the end
of it is even a relief to the de-
feated ones.
There were earnest campaigns
and the defeated candidates have
nothing to be ashamed of in the
matter of game fight. Judge
Minter's defeat was a disappoint-
ment to his friends as the Judge
had made strong friends during
his term of Office where he serv-I
ed faithfully, long and with
great fidelity. The Judge has
made a record in the Office as to-
length of term. etc. that probably
viii never be duplicated in the
county.

STEVEN FOUNTAIN
FROM NEAR CORYDON
Died at = Local Hospital, Where He
Had been Taken for
Treatment.

Stephen Fountain, well known
and popular resident of Wayne coun-
ty, near Corydon, who was brought to
a Keokuk hospital for treatment for
kidney trouble, died at that institution
at 1920 o'clock last night. He had
been seriously i'll about three months.
The deceased was born in Davis
county, Iowa, and was about seventy
three years of age. Born In this
state at SO early day. his life has
been eventful. He witnessed and in
fact grew up In the pioneer days Of
the state, when sturdy manhood met
the conditions OF wild, uncu1tivated
land and by steady exertion and hon
est persistent toll the virgin soil of
prairie and woodland were brought to
a state OF cultivation to bring forth
bounteous crops; the rudely con-
structed homes Of the pioneers and
old settlers have given place to resi-
dences such as the old lords Of the
manor have rejoiced to possess.
In 1871 he located In Wayne county
near Corydon, the county seat, where
he had since resided. He was mem.
Der OF one OF the protestant adven-
list churches, man Of strong person
atty and friendships. He was good
husband kind father and gener-
GUS and ob1iging neighbor. He is sur

KEOKUK WAS HOT
BUT NOT HOTTEST
Phoenix, ARK, Claimed That Honor
Yesterday With Temperature
Of 104.

Keokuk was not the hottest point on
the weather map yesterday despite
the general feeling of the natives that
1t must have been The highest tenn
iperature reached during the day was
l94. 1t was 80 last evening at 700
o'clock. st. Louis, New Orleans and
Nashville were OF the same tempera-
Iture as Keokuk. Phoenix, Ariz., was
the hot spot OF the day with tempera-
ture OF 104.
The weather man has promised
some relief from the warm weather in
his forecast for tomorrow, which says
something about cloudy and cool
weather Signs such az the persist
ence with which flies stick, point to
some rain also.
Perhaps one thing which made the
day seem hotter yesterday was the
fact that 1t was the second dry day in
the week. Saturday being q legal
holiday, followed by Sunday, no doubt
caused some OF the thirsty ones no
small amount OF uneasiness and sor-
row. The oages were opened this
morning and were the mecca for those
who had that terrible burning two
day thirst In their mouths.
