Trinidad Couple Fave
Narrow Escape From
Death in Oregon River

While attempting to ford the Ap-
plcgate river near Murphy. Oregon,
with a one-horsc buggy, Mr.. and Mrs.
E. K. Jeffers narrowly escaped being
drowned by Il rushing torrent of
water which at this season of the
year is swcllcd to nearly three times
'ts normal height.
Mr.. and Mrs Jcficrs had just de-
scendcd the embankment into the
river anu were making their way
across .hn stream when Il big wall OF
water struck the buggy brOadsidc
and ca osized it with its two occu-
uants. An effort was made to turn
around and make for the bank from
which they had started and after
several attempts they succeeded in
turning around against the current
and landing safely on the bank.
The Cnly thing which saved them
was the fact that their heavy horse
remained hitchcd to the buggy and
kept them from being carried down
stream. Their miraculous escape
was told in letter received by Mrs.
Jeffers' parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.

Residents Urged
To Use Handy
Private Mail Boxes

The postoffice authorities are
again making request for all pa
irons OF the free carrier system
within the city to provide themselves
with mail boxes or proper recepta-
cles for the receiving of the mail at
their homes. Due to the increased
territory which will be served by the
mail carriers 1t is necessary for the
patrons to install these boxes in or
der to facilitate the service At the
present time fully One-third OF the
homes in the residence district are
without mail boxes.
Following Is copy OF the circu-
lar letter which will be forwarded
to all patrons who are not provided
with these boxes within the course
of few days:
by direction of the postoffice de-
partment. the attention of patrons
of this office is invited to the advan-
tages Of providing facilities for the
receipt of their mail by erecting con-
veniently accessible boxes or cutting
suitable slots in their doors. Such
action would enable the postmaster
to give prompter and better deliv-
cry service with the means at his
disposal. since the carriers can cover
much more territory In less time If
not compelled to wait for an answer
to their ring. Private receptacles
for mail are also a great convenience
to the householder. obviating the ne
cessity of responding to the carriers
call at inconvenient moments and
permitting the safe delivery of mail
in the absence of members OF the
household. They also prevent the
occasional necessity OF carriers
proceeding on his route without de-
livering mail because of failure to
answer his ring within reasonable
time, and enable him to make deliv-
cries to patrons living on or near
the end of the route at an earlier
hour.
at has been shown by actual ex-
perience that the benefits derived by
patrons of ctv delivery from the use
Of such receptacles far outweigh the
small expense involved. AS this Of
flee is interested in furnishing the
best possible servi./ at the least eN-
pensc. your compliance with the
foregoing suggestions will be much
appreciated"

HOW TO PREVENT
ACID STOMACHS AND
FOOD FERMENTATION
By a Stomach Specialist.

AS a specialist who has spnt many
years in the study and treatment OF
stomach troubles, have been forced
TO the conclusion that most people
who complain OF stomach trouble pos
sess stomachs that are absolutely
healthy and normal. The real trouble,
that which causes all the pain and
difficulty, Is acid in the stomach,
usually due to, or aggravated by, fooa
fermentation. Acid irritates the deli
cate lining of the stomach and food
fermentation causes wind which dis
tends the stomach abnormally, causins
that full bioatsd feeling. Thus botn
acid and fermentation interfere with
and retard the process Of digestion.
The stomach is usually healthy and
normal, but initiated almost past en-
durance by these foreign es1ments-
acid and wind. In all such cases
and they comprise over so per cent
OF all stomach difficulties-the first
and only step necessary Is = neu.
tralize thu acid and stop the fermen
tation by taking In little warm OF
cold water Immediately after eating
from one to two teaspoonfuls OF bisur
ated magnesia, which Is doubtless the
best and only really effective antacic
and food corrective known. The acit
will be neutraiized and the fermenta
ton stopped almost instantly, ant
your stomach will at once proceed u
digest the food in healthy, norma
manner. Be sure to ask your chemis
for the bisurated magnesia, as hav'
found other forms utterly lacking Il

APPRAISERS MAKE
REPORT ON STREET
Allow for Ten Per Cent Reduction in
Case Of Rayburn Against City
and Contractors.

The report Of Appraisers William
Logan, F. w. Swan and M. q. Bannon
was filsd yesterday afternoon. in the
case OF Walter Rayburn and others
against the city OF Keokuk and Cam
eron and McManus in which the plain
tiffs objected to the payment Of spe-
cial assessments levied for the con-
Iereting of Seymour street, between
Eleventh and Twelfth, in front OF
their property.
In the report which will later come
before the district court for approval
1t was recommended among other
things that 10 per cmt be deducted
from the assessment IN addition to
the one-seventh previously agreed up
on.
The appraisers reported that the
| work shows the concrets had either
been frozen before thoroughly water
ing, or was not Of the proper mixture,
30 that 1t has broken off and shows
signs of disintegration. The repor,
also showed that the expansion joints
along this gutter and the cross-joints
were filled with very bad material,
The city and not the contractors was
to blame for this, as the contract pro-
! vided that either standard asphalt or
pitch could be used. The report
recommended that the city clean ont
and fill these joints as 1t will even
tually save the street. The report
further found that the city should pay
one-third the costs, the plaintiff one
third, and Camsron ana McNianus one
third.
