Citizens.
Especial to The Gate CITY.

lopSClal 10 Inc GdLe C1Cy.
MEMPHIS, Mo-, Dec. 1S.-Somc
weeks ago, the board of aldermen of
this city passed a resolution recon-
mending bond issue sufficiently large
! to provide funds with which the city
might buy and install an electric
light plant of it's own. The resolution
at the time Of passage did not recon.
mend more than a plant big enough to
light the streets and pump the water
for the city. But since the people have
awakened to the situation and have
learned by the various estimates furn-
ished by the consulting engineers who
have been before the board, they now
demand a plant big enough to take
care Of the commercial lighting as well
and of such proportions as will enable
the city to enlarge the service and give
the patrons Of the light system much
lower rates as well as discounts in
proportion to the amount Of electricity
used. Ali estimates that have been
given the board up to the present time,
positively state that the rate will not
exceed II cents, and that substantial
discounts can be given off that rate
when a sufficient amount is used.
Under the rulings of the public serv-
ice commission of Missouri, city of
the fourth class, as Memphis is, may
act with perfectly free hand in all
matters touching upon the proceedings
pertaining to issuing bonds, to get the |

Mrs. Henry w. Rothert Died on Fri
day Night at Council Bluffs,
loWa-Left Here rs
Years Ago.
HUSBAND TWICE MAYOR
Was Born in st. Louis, But Came to
keokuk at Early Date-Hus-
band and Two Sons
Survive.

Mrs. Henry Tieke of 1912 Blondeau
street received word yesterday of the
death at Council Bluffs on Friday
night OF Mrs. Henry w. Rothert, a
former wellknown resident of Keo-
kuk and wife Of former city mayor
and member of the Iowa state legisla-
ture
The Rothert family lived in Keo-
kuk for about twenty-five years and
was one of the most prominent of the
city at the time. Mrs. Rothert was in
her seventies. She was born in st.
Louis and spent her girlhood in that
city.
The decedent's name was Miss
Eliza Tebbe and she was married to
Henry w. Rothert while in St. Louis.
They moved to Keokuk shortly after
the marriage and lived here until
twenty-five years ago when the fam
lily moved to council Bluffs, Iowa,
where Mr.. Rothert was appointed SUI
perintendent of the Iowa State School
for the Deaf.
Besides the husband, two sons sur
v1ve, Waldo Rothert, who is teacher
in the Omaha school for the deaf, and
Edwin T. Rothert. Another son died
in infancy and is buried in a local
cemetery.
1t is possible that the body may be
brought to Keokuk for burial.
Henry w. Rothert was mayor of
Keokuk for two terms in 1871 and
1872. Later he was elected to both
the house and senate Of the Iowa leg
islature and at one time was lieuten-
ant governor.

Perfect Health Is
EveryWoman's Birthright
A Prescription That from Girlhood to
Old Age Has Been a Blessing
to WOmanhoOd.

When a girl becomes a woman,
when a woman becomes a mother,
when a woman passes through the
changes of middle life, are the three
periods of life when health and strength
are most needed to withstand the pain
and distress often caused by severe
organic disturbances.
At these critical times women are
best fortified by the use of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, an old remedy
Of proved worth that keeps the entire
female system perfectly regulated and
in excellent condition.
Mothers, if your daughters are weak,
lack ambition, are troubled with head
aches, lassitude and are pale and sick
~, DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
is just what they need to surely bring
the bloom of health to their cheeks
and make them strong and healthy.
For all diseases peculiar to woman,
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a
powerful restorative. During the last
of tens of thousands of women the
pain, worry, misery and distress caused
by irregularities and diseases of a
feminine character.
If you are sufferer, If your daugh-
ter, mother, sister need help get DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription in liquid
or tablet form from any m-dicine
dealer to-day. Then address Doctor
Pierce, Inva1ids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y,
and get confidential medical advice
entirely free. You can also obtain
book on woman's diseases, sent free.
DIR. Pierce's Pellets regulate and in
vigorate stomach, liver and bowels. Keep
the body clean inside as well as outside.

parts OF the city. But when the plant
is ready to do business, the matter Of
making the rates for the customers is
subjected to the review Of the public
service commission, under the regula-
tons authorized by the Missouri law,
regardless Of whether a private cor
Ioration is operating a plant under a
franchise previously obtained
The public service commission rec
ommends that where a city Of the
fourth class decides to install mum

in it's streets and highways, where a
private corporation has a system al
ready operating, that the city buy
such portions of the equipment as may
be useful in the new plant when it
may be done equitable. The situation
in Memphis, is rather deplorable in
some of its features, when the matter

tons of the old equipment: as the
present plant is operated on direct
current, while the people are asking
for alternating current equipment,
which has many more features Of econ

the direct current sytuem, according
to the various consulting engineers
who have laid the matters before the
board on the subject. The people are
very enthusiastic over the prospect Of
the new order of things regarding the
new lighting system and already a
of the businesses that require
rover in Memphis, have asked about
the particulars and probabilities of
getting motor power from the new
plant. Those who have business
blocks fronting upon the public square
are very much interested about the
outlook for an elaborate white way"
which they have been agitating for
long time, but without success.

ALL TO GO TODAY
Editor The Times:

/ have read so much about peo-
pie buying at home and knocking
the mail order houses anG do not
hear one word of defense, that /
wonder II the small voice of the
farmer can be heard.
Now, here are some facts about
our, and our neighbors' expert
enoes, extending for 20 years
back. In early days 1t took us
two days to go to Tacoma. We
generally arrived there looking
worn and tired. The merchant
got to know us by our looks, SO
he took advantage of it and
bought our stuff at the lowest
possible price and sold his goods
at the highest. and the result was
that we often did not have enough
left over for nights lodging and
had to sleep in our wagons.
When j spoke to a merchant
about 1t, he said that 1t was bust
ness to buy at the lowest and sell
at the highest price. Then came
the creamery, the r. f. D., the
parcel post and the mail order
houses, and the farmers took adj
vantage of them. And now the
shoe begins to pinch the other way
and the city merchants are crying
for pity. They lay all the blame
on the mail order houses, while
they themselves are suffering
from their own former dishonest
dealings.
That's my ieda of the buy-at-
home movement.
