8ody Found Along Track Three TILES
West of Town.

Early Tuesday morning word was re-
ceived at Oakland that a man was lying
on the B. & o. railroad, about one mile
above Offutt's saw mill site. The crew
of west bound freight train placed
the body on the side of the west track.
DR.. Henry McComas, Deputy Sheriff
Dewitt and Justice Rudislll were taken
to the place, and found the man dead.
He had been riding between two cars
and must have fallen and caught on the
brake, and was dragged about $50 feet
before he got loose from the train.
His clothes were practically torn off
him, his legs and arms were broken, a
deep cut was made above the knee, and
his head had very bad cut. The body

A SHOCKING TRAGEDY
OAKLAND BOY VICTIM
Harold Jackson Drowned In Little
Yough Tuesday Afternoon.

A wave of sadness swept over Oak
land Tuesday afternoon when the re-
port swiftly passed through the city
that Harold. the thirteen year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. S. H. Jackson, of Oak
street, had been drowned.
About one O'Clock Harold and his
playmate, Vincent Hesen, went to the
Little Yough river for a swim. The
place was the swimming pool near the
water station east of town. Vincent de-
clined to go into the water and sat
down on the river bank to wait until
his friend had enjoyed a plunge
The lad swan or drifted around the
bend in the river and was lost sight of.
Vincent waited for time for his friends
return, and as he did not come back.
he thought Harold had dressed and
returned to his home, accordingly
he went home but was worried. He
talked the matter over with his aunt,
who sent him back to the river to make
sure of the fact. On his return he
found Harold's clothes where he had
undressed.
Becoming very much frightened he
ran to the home of Mr.. Fred Wolf
nearby, and told Walter Wolf that he
could not see or find Harold. Young
Wolf went to the river and began a
search for the boy, and soon found the
body. The word was quickly put in
circulation and DR.. Henry McComas,
DR.. Darby and a number of citizens
FASTENED to the scene and an effort was
made for resuscitation, but in vain.
The body had been in the water too
long. 1t is supposed that the lad had
an attack of cramp.
Harold was greatly loved by all who
knew him. He was a cheerful. bright
boy; had kind word for everybody.
He was very popular with his play
mates.
The public deeply sympathize with
Mr.. and Mrs. Jackson in this great
loss to their home circle, for Harold
was the only child in this happy home.
The funeral services will be held in the
Methodist church this afternoon. The
remains will be taken to Terra Alta for
interment on train No. 55 today.

rusL ECONOMY VS.. SPEED.

The question, What is thA most
economical speed at which to operate
an autom obile? has been answered by
the recent tests OF two eight-cylinder
Cadillacs by the Automobile Club o.
America. At approximately Is miles
per hour the consumption was ono gal
lon, for every twenty miles. and at
slightly over 81 miles per hour the
consumption was one gallon for ev-
cry 9 miles. The consumption be-
tween these two points varied direct
ly as the speed. In other words. IT
takes more than twice as much fuel
to drive tile car at sixty miles per
hour than it does at 10.

A special meeting was held yester-
day afternoon for the purpose OF in

suggestion was made that something
ought to be done to boost Keokuk

and hereafter when in neighboring
towns, the u. G. T.s will demand that
hotels have Keokuk newspapers for
them TO read. 80 that they may know
what is going on in the old town.
Keokrk cigars will be called for and
none other accepted. And 80 all
along the line goods bearing Keokuk
brands will be boosted and the de-
rnand increased.
In furtherance OF the idea and in
order that the travellers may know
what goods are made In Keokuk,
committee was appointed to wait up
on Secretary James M. Fulton OF the
Industrial association, who will be
asked to procure and tabulate list OF
Keokuk goods in order that every
member may know what can be OBJ
