Ballot Box
at the Bank
Time Nearly up for Work

The ballot box is now at the
First National Bank where the
ballots in our Popular Voting
Contest can be deposited only
during banking hours. 1t is not
necessary to bring money or
votes to this office before they
are turned in. Seal your money
or coupons in an envelop and de-
posit it in the box and you will
be allowed the same extra votes
as you would be allowed if they
were brought to this office.
The polls will be closed at 3
O'Clock on May the 9Th, by the
time in the First National Bank.
Be sure to have all your ballots
in the box by this hour.
Don't wait until right up at
the time of closing and then
come to this office and want US
to issue the coupons. 1t is too
much to expect US to receive
money and issue votes on the
last day of the contest without
some one other than the one
turning in the money and our
office force knowing of the
transaction,

ROME. Aug. 31.-The Last funeral
rites for his holiness Pope Plus <
having been said, the members OF the
sacred college today entered the on
clave during which q ~ccess to the
late pope will be elected. Fffty-seyen
Observation-Disclosures Italians and
twenty-sfx foreigners-assemoled q
the vatican today for the ceremonies
preliminary to tho election.
Amonr those absent are Cardinal
Begin Of Canada and Cardinals OCon-
nell and GIBBONS Of the United States.
It is expected that they will arrive by
Thursday. Troops today ~encircled
the vatican and st. Peters. preventing
the possibility Of any interference u
ing the election Of the new pope. Tho
Italian government took this means OF
guaranteeing the perfect freedom OF
the, cardinals during the conclave.
Although the greatest secrecy sur
sounds the election Of the new pope
the cardinals being walled up IN the
conclave apartments in the court OF
st. Damaso, vatican authorities are
unanimous in declaring the selection
has narrowed down to the choice OF
one of nine cardinals. The new pope
It Is declared is certain to be chosen
from among the following cardinals:
Mafa. Gaspari, Ferrari, Lualdi, Fer
rata. Cassetta. Agliardi. Serafini and
Pompili.
Carriages bearing the cardinals to
the vatican began arriving at nine
O'Clock today. The members Of the
sacred college then assembled In the
Pauline chapel when Cardinal Ferriti
celebrated the holy spirit mass. Mon
set CALI delivered the lecture Of exor-
tation this afternoon. This concluded,
the cardinals, each accompanied by q
priest and n servant, entered the con-
clave apartments. Each cardinal was
especially costumed for the conclave,
wearing instead of his regular robes
a special dress including a hooded
cloak Of violet wool.
From the Pauline chapel, the pro-
cession Of cardinals crossed the royal
room Of the vatican. With the con-
clusion OF prayers, the cardinals took
the oath for the performance Of their
sacred duties and then entered the
st. Damaso court yard. Brick layers
and carpenters were at once busily
engaged walling up the conclave
apartments from which the members
of the sacred college will not emerge
until a new pope is elected. The first
ballot will be taken tomorrow.

broke out at the depot was put out
in the time that the man could walk

and the Of the fire.
The local man had passed the IRE
station on his way to the station and
the alarm was run just as he passed.
The truck came out Of the house and
started down the street. There was
about four blocks to walk to the sta.
ton, and the Keokuk man said that
when he got to the depot the iremen
on the truck had the fire out. This
man said he walked the Intervening
blocks at a normal gait, SO the speed
Of the truck and crew can easily be
imagined.
Public sentiment In Keokuk seems
to be favorable to the truck and It Is
believed more than probable that the

1t is being suggested that one OF
tho teams which would be displaced
by the truck, be housed in a station
to be built out On Orleans street, near
Fifteenth street, or out on High
street near Twentieth. This would
serve the same purpose that the West
Keokuk reel does for that end OF
town. and would be Invaluable in
checking blazes which might start in
this district and which could be'held
under control until the men from the
dom town stations arrived.
In the past there have been some
serious fires in this district which
might have been checked with slight
er loss had the department been able
to get to the scene without the long
run from down town.
With the growth OF the seventh
ward district It is going to be neces-
sary to give this section hre protec-

ment which could follow It, It is be-
lieved would very efectually fight the

Post Department.
Commander.

The Iowa q. A. r. delegation left
Saturday for the national encamp'
ment at Detroit. The delegation will
be united at Chicago and go over
the Wabash road together to the con-
vention city.
Iowa presents a candidate for com
mander in chief In the person Of Col
David J. Palmer. past department
commander and expects to win with
him. Because of this fact there VIII
be additional interest in the encamp'
ment at Detroit for Colonel Palmer
is one Of the most popular members
of the order in Iowa. All Iowa people
whether members OF the G.. A. n. or
not. will unite in hoping he Will lane
the prize.
It is pretty certain that the matter
will not be settled on one or two bal
lots. There is a field Of candidates
such as to make 1t certain that some
time will elapse before the matter Is
settled. The active and well backed
candidates. aside from the Iowa
candidate are the following:
Charles w. Blodgett. Ohio.
Frank o. Coe, New Jersey.
Orlando A. Somers. Indiana.
These three will doubtless largely
divide honors at the start. The Ohio
man is said to have the appearance
of being the strongest. though II Ne"
York and Pennsylvania back the
New Jersey man. he may develop
great strength, and those three states
usually stand together.
Then there is an Oklahoma candi
date, T. H. Seward. at present the
senior vice commander. 1t is not ex
pected he will develop much strength
as he got the place by a flu,Se. Kan
sas was going to present a candidate
but two Of them bobbed up and the
state will not back anyone. though
one will make a personal effort q
the place.
The fact that Iowa never had the
commander in chief will be the strong
card with the Iowa delegation. Iowa
has had two minor national officers,
but never really sought the highest
place, and yet has always been active
at all the encampments. Each OF the
three other states having active can
didates has had a commander in chiel
and in some cases more than one.
