MUST USE CARE IN
HANDLING OF MILK
Necessity 10 Just az Great Now a. In
Hot Weather for SanI-
tation.

The necessity of care and cleanli-
ness in the handling Of milk that
is to be sold to the public for con-
sumption, did not pass with the warm
months and on account OF the likeli-
hood of the farmers thinking the cool
er weather guaranteed pure milk.
Pure milk is necessity II COM
munity is to be healthy one and the
only possible way Of having pure milk
is for the people who sell !. to use all
the extreme care and precautions IN
the winter as we'll as the summer. The
fact that the absence Of the spelling
heat is often used by the farmer as a
reason for becoming lax in his pre-
cautions and as a consequence there
is soon typhoid or some other virulent
disease in a community
The daily papers chronicle almost
in each issue the death OF persons
from disease brought on from the
consumption Of impure milk or cream,
and only recently there was a note
OF four people dying IN Canton, Mo-.
from typhoid contracted from the
milk OF one COW.
Such facts as there, when brought
home to the consumer. will make
them particular not only as to the
color and richness OF the milk that Is
sold to them, but also as to the con-
ditions under which the milk is pre-
pared for the market.

Diver Makes Adverse Report In This
Matter 70 Wisherds Who Own
Boat Sunk at St.
Louis.
HULL ALMOST BURIED
Timbers Are Split and Broken and
Everything Below Hurricane
Deck 10 Damaged to
Great Extent.

Quincy Herald: The steamer Majes-
tic Will never carry another excursion
out Of Quincy. The boat Is done for.
There Is no possible chance to raise
it. The Wisherds finally admit that
relocating the big craft is physical
imopssibility. The hull is almost
buried in sand; the steel frame. hang
ing on corner Of the coffer-dam
around the intake pipe 1t the Chain
Of Rocks is twisted and bent all out
OF shape; the floors arc warped, the
light timbers are split and broken;
bulkheads are gone. and in fact, every
thing below the hurricane deck Is
ruined beyond any repair. It's no use.
The Majestic. as Captain Pennoyer
predicted the day after she sank. has
gone to her grave.

got home on the morning * line
train today. The Hill went from
here to st. Louis and returned to the
scene OF the wreck on Wednesday
with two divers. It was impossible
to reach the wreck from the south
sid:s because Of the big sandbar that
has formed there up to within two
feet Of the surface of the river. Halt
OF the boat Is buried in the bar. After
the Hill was tied UP. the divers made
an inspection and after hearing their
report, the Wisherds knew 1t would
be impossible to save the Majestic.
Boat 10 Complete Wreck.
Even II 1t were possible to get the
sand out OF the hull and by building
bulkhead around the main deck,
get her to the surface, It Is doubtful
If the Majestic would hold t0gether
long enough to tow her to st. Louis.
II it had been possible to tackle the
job OF floating the craft right after
the wreck. the Majestic could have
been saved But the action OF the
drifting sand and the current have
completed the ruin Of what was the
largest, handsomest. strongest and
most modern Of all excursion boats
afloat on the Mississippi. The Males
tic had been in service Just about q
month when she collided with the
false work around the intake tower at
the Chain Of Rocks on June 20, ana
sank in about % feet OF water.

for many years fulfilled this admoni-
ton and received many honors among
his tribe after the old father chief
had yielded up his life.
Thirty years ago. an honored old
citizen Of Keokuk made THIS appeal
favoring a monument for Keokuk, in
which he said:
Where in all this broad land Is
there an enduring monument erected
to perpetuate the memory Of any Of
its thousands of great chiaftains ::
Soon this once brave and numerous
race will be extinct. Let our city look
to 1t that she makes an appropriation
Of such, so not only the present peo-
pie OF our city, but the future genera.
tons will not feel ashamed. Let us
have monument worthy Of our COM
merciai city and honorable to the
ancient Indian chieftain, Keokuk."

ton Of this pioneer old settle.:, and

Random Sketches

2 One Of the most attractive spots in
.Keokuk Is beautiful and interesting
Rand Park and the monument erected
there to the memory OF Keokuk, one
OF the most prominent Indian chiefs
connected with the incidents OF the
early settlement and pioneer life Of
this vicinity along the banks of the
great Mississippi valley. viewed by
Marquette and Joliet in the long time
ago.
That monument has history. To
those who see 1t, that monument,
bearing aloft the statue of the great
Indian chief in perpetual remem-
brance, is a striking memento Of the
Impressions he made upon his pale
faced brethren; to those who are ia
miliar with its history, it stands for
more in history. While it is q re-
membrance of the great Indian chief
and pacincator: in mind, it stands q
monument to the sagacity of that
valued and honored citizen Of Keo-
kuk, Hon. C. F. Davis, the observant
and patient collector Of the history
and biography of the country and who
did more perhaps than any ether
man who ever lived here in gathering
up the fragments of history of this To-
cality and placing them in tangible
form, to perpetuate the history and
biography of Keokuk and Lee county,
and to whom is greatly due the erec-
ton Of that monument in Rand park
to the glorious memory of the great
Indian chief for whom our city Is
named and around whose memory
clusters famous incidents in the arly
history Of the city, county and state.
Don't you remember that notable
incident, when, in 1887, keokuk and
Black Hawk, with many OF their
chiefs, we're invited by the president
to Washington for the purpose of fix
ing plan to prevent further con-
flicts with their neighbors, the Sioux
who numbered at that time from for
ty to fifty thousand, while the Sac
and Fox tribes did not exceed six
thousand, proud and brave, however,
to resent and impel an insult or ag-
gression by their more numerous and
powerful aggressors.
After leaving Washington, they WIS.,
tied many others of the eastern cities.

Governor Edward Evertt spoke to

Turning to Chief Keokuk, he said:

Spirit preserve his life, my brother.
He grows up before you like the ten
