Cooper getting too near the house
for comfort.
All the patent medicine almanaos
are in the Nauvoo drug store now
and one of our citizens has looked
through them all to see If there's any
new ailments going that he hash t
had yet.
It is now reported that MT. r. o.
Marsh has succeeded in raising $780,
600 as the first installment towards
building the Quincy, Nauvoo and Bur-
lington interurban line and the money
will be paid by January %. We are
glad to hear of this good news and
We are confident that Nauvoo's peo-
pie will grant every privileges within
reason to Mr.. Marsh ii he will build
us that much needed trolley through
our city. At this season of the year
we fnd that we need 1t the most
than any time during the year. Our
mails are very Irregular and to travel
from and to Nauvoo during the win
ter season is anything but pleasant
and at times dangerous. So let the
interurban come and come quickly In
this year of 1914.
Nauvoo's moving picture show has
been discontinued until transformer
can be placed and power from the Keo-
kuk dam used.
Our Ice storers are now talking Of
storing the crystal blocks. The cold
snap Of the past few nights has put
them in good spirits and they now
think they will succeed In packing
all that is necessary for the coming
summers use.
Some Of our farmers say the boule-
ward along Lake Cooper has been cut
up pretty badly on account OF the
soft, warm weather and then freezing
weather which caused vehicles to cut
through the gravel surfac.
There will be plenty of amussments
in Nauvoo from now until the begin
ming of Lent
A Nauvoo man was asked il he
made any new resolutions for this
year, when he said, any fool can
make a good resolution, but 1t takes
a wise man to keep 1t.
The Waterway Journal published In
st. Louis printed a fine article on the
death OF Mr.. Warren Balm who died
in Nauvoo recently All rive men
held Mr.. Balm in the highest esteem
and had nothing but words of praise
for him.

HANNIBAL IS BOOSTING
Preliminary Survey Costing $1,000
Would be First ost-citIes
To Pay Their
Share.

The building OF road from Keokuk
to st. Louis, through H.nlibal, may
be reality If the towns affected are
willing to get together and put up
their share of the expense money.
Harry A. Schiedker, secretary OF the
Hannibal Commercial club is sending
out letters in which he estimates tn 2
initial cost, that Of survey ng th (, road,
at $1,000. Hannibal's boosters have
raised 500 and believe they can
raise more If nece ssary. The road
would start at Keokuk, and it is be-
lieved would be wonderful impetus
for the towns which thu route will
cover. Thousands of tourists pass this
way each year, and the benefits 1t Is
believed will be immense.
The st. Louis Republic printed the
following story OF the proposed new
road:
A nav highway, following the wat
eiline along the Mississippi river,
from Keokuk to ST. L5us, through
Hannibal, is beng projected by the
Commercial club through its good
roads committee The road is the
idea of Mr.. George D. Clayton, who
is chairman of the committee, and
who has given the matter x nsider-
able attention, before suggesting 1t to
the directors of the club at meeting
yesterday afternoon.
1t is proposed to start at Keokuk
and follow the river betwe IN the
west bank and the bluffs to st. Louis.
The plan is to correspond immedi tie
ly with cities and commercial organi.
ed with the proposed highway, outlin-
ing the project end asking their CO.
operation. AS soon as the mltter Is
placed before the cities interested, a
meeting will be called and organiza-
ton effected. Then .iteis planned to
have an engineer go over the route
and outline the work necessary.
New Road Necessary.
1t is anticipated a new road will
have to be constructor along certain
sections of the proposed route. From
Hannibal north tw elve miles. there
is a good road, bit beyond this, I'M
less the highway detours through Tay-
lor, a new Grade must be made Be-
tween Canton and Alexandra there
will have to be some road building.
South for seven miles from Hannibal
there is road. which with widening
and repairs, is a good route. but from
SaSertcn into Ashburn new road
must be provided This is true In

ana. There are number OF matters
OF this nature which will be deetr-
mined when the engineer is employ
ed and the survey maze.
The road will leave the river at
Old Monroe, going to st. Charles by
way of st. Peters into st. Louis on
the rock road
The road would be a direct route,
avoiding all cut-cffs into the interior
and making the distance in as few
miles as the Burlington railroad. Its
proximity to the railroad would be an
additional advantage to the hauling OF
material 1t will make st aight
route from Keokuk to ST. Louis and
will also be advantageous to the cities
along the highway.
The Hannibal Commercial club be-
lieyes that a good road should be
built between Keokuk and st. Louis,
and with Characteristic energy has
decided to correspond with all the
cities which such road would tou h.
If sentiment along the route is favor

drawn up and the work begun.

SWEEPING PROBE OF
 FOUR BIG RAILROADS

Washdngon. May 25.-From sources in the Seante close to the interstate commerce commission comes confirm ation of the reports that sweeping in vestigations are planned of a group of the biggest railroad systems in the country along the lines of the New Haven probe.
 The Pennsylvania. New York Gen. tral, Rock Island and Great Northern are the four systems which will be first brought under the investigations now planned. Probes of the finances Of other systems will follow. This, ac- cording to senators. will mean cheap rates, and at the same time give prop CT dividends to the roads.
 The members of the interstate com merce commission are reticent about discussing the pending developments. The reason for this, it is believed. is that the New York Central, Pennsyl- vania and other roads about to be investigated are included among the applicants of the per cent. rate in creases. An investigation which would disclose conditions similar to those revealed by Mellen concerning the New Haven's finances would be disas- trous to the rate increase plan.

They were made welcome and about all participants motored away towards the south. But 1t was 2 neans trick on the part Of New town just the same.

WILSON'S PROPOSAL GIVEN TO ENVOYS President and His Advisors Look to Niagara Falls
 for Peace Preliminary Negotiations Are Not Expected to oc-
 cupy Many Days

Washington, May 25-After more than 24 hours calm in the Mexican situation. disturbed only by a. report that Mexican outposts had fired at American aviators at Vera Cruz, Presi- dent Wilson and his advisers looked to Niagara, Falls today for the un- folding of new chapters in prelimin- aries of mediation.
 Exchanges between President Will son and Secretary Bryan and the were expected to continue today. Jus tice Lamar and former solicitor Leh- mann had received suggestions from the mediatnrs. These were submit ted to Washington and the American delegates received proposals which f1inistration ofncials declined to in- innate what the exchanges referred to. From other sources, however, came declarations that the progress of the negotiations was favorable.
 Belief was expressed in some quar- ters that the preliminaries would not be prolonged and that soon something definite would be known of the ex- changes between the Huerta and American delegates and the South American envoys.
 Withdrawal of Villas FOODS to Tor reon from SaItillo, which recently was evacuated by federal troops, renewed interest here today in the constitution a.listss military campaign. The re- tirement, 1t was said, was based en- rely on military expediency, Torreon presenting more advantages as base for movements soslthward than Goa huila's capital.
 While an occasional hydroaeroplane flight relieved the monotony of the watch of General Fsunston's troops at Vera Cruz, the dreadnaughts and bat tleships in the harbor varied their rou- tine by n1aneuvers outside the bar.
 Rear Admiral Badger reported that the second division would go out for exercise today and the ships of the first division would have their turn tomorrow. The admiral stated that the Birmingham had arrived at Vera Cruz from Tampico and that the aero-. plane section, with Lieuts. Towers and Smith and Ensign Chevalier-, had been transferred to the Mississippi which would sail for Boston tomorrow Sev- era1 refugees who have been waiting at Vera Cruz, will be taken home by the Patuxent which will sail Sto Key West by way of New Orleans.
