Rose Maiden Tonight.

It costs about $1,000 in addition to
the rental Of the opera house to give

Every preparation has been made
by Mr.. Hayden, the director, to pre-

The securing Of large attendance
has been left largely to the members

It is impossible at this writing to
tell how we'll the public will respond
to the efforts Of the pupils Of the
high school to interest them and to
the repeated notices OF the concert
which have appeared in The Gate
City the past week. The concert will
he all right and a delightful musical
treat. Every one who atteLds it will
congratulate themselves on having
heard these young singers.
The question is, will the busy peo'
pie of this city pause and turn away
from the activities which each day
bring, long enough to see that there
is a call for them to support the work
Of the music department Of the pub
lie schools and to encourage those
who are doing that work by filing
every seat in the opera house at the
performance this evening. The schools
belong to the public and at this an
nual public appearance the public is
bound to show it's interest by giving
a hearty support.
Everything is now in readiness ex-
cept the audian and without doubt
Keokuk will recognize in this concert
one of the occasions when she should
compliment Keokuk talent and Keo-
kuk enterprise. The concert will be-
gin at the regular opera house hour,
quarter past eight.-Advertisement.

Saloons in this city will be taxed
on their stock and fixeures in addition
to their regular license of $1,000, it
was decided by the city council today.
saloon keepers have been notified and
it is understood that they will make
little or no protest.
Thi sis move that has never been
made by former city councils here, It
having always before been taken for
granted that when saloon keeper
paid his license OF $500 that his
taxes were included in that amount
The present council, however, takes
different view Of the matter and
says that the license is a special tax
and that the assessment on the value
OF the stock and fixtures is not in.
cluded and has nothing to do with
this special tax.
Store Fixtures Assessed.
Other store keepers, they say, are
assessed on the value of their stock
and fixtures, and the council be-
lieves that it is no more than just
that saloon keepers pay tax on their
stock and fixtures also. Very few
Of the saloon keepers who were notifl-
ed this morning Of the intention of
the council, made serious objections
to the proposal OF the council. This
will be new source OF revenue to the
city and will bring in quite bit of
money,
The city council which has been
sitting rs board of equalization
since the day the new administration
took Office, adjourned in that capacity
this morning until next Monday On
next Monday those who believe their
assessments to be too high Will be
given an opportunity to come before
the council and enter their protests.
These meetings will be public and
anyone is privileged to attend.
Firemen Ask for Higher Wages.
4 A petition for an increase of $40 a
month in salary was this morning
presented to the citys council by the
members of the fire department. The
firemen of all the stations signed the
petition. The foremen say that they
are getting but $50 a month for "a
hours work day, and they believe
they should be given an increase in
their salaries. Firemen in Quincy.
Burlington and other cities in this
vicinity have received raises in their
salaries. The nremen state that they
must be ready at any. time. "a hours
in the day, to answer the tap Of the
gong. Even when they are given a
day off they are required to report at
once at the fire. In many other cities
the firemen are divided into two shifts,
which gives them twelve-hour day.
This, however. costs the city just
twice as much as the system in use
here. The flremen further state that
the cost Of living has increased to a
great extent since their present sal
aries were decided upon. The petition
was received by the council today and
it is expected that action on The mas
ter will be taken at once.

Higgins slipped single cartridge
into the gun and raised it>until it was
pointed at his wife's breast. Beside
him stood the weman's daughter.
She did not utter sound as Higgins
cooked the gun.
He pulled the trigger and the gun
was discharged, Mrs. Higgins being
instantly killed by charge of shot
that entered her breast.
Higgins worked himself into a
frenzy of apparent grief, and neigh
bors who rushed into the house were
deceived. A coroner's inquest declar-
ed the death accidental, and exoner-
ated Higgins.
Then came suspicious actions of
Higgins and Julia, and the uncle pre-

attorney. Detectives grilled the two
suspects. They broke down, and con-
