sir. he just must prove it or give the
city administration a clean bill Of
health! So they had the county at
to.ney call Allen on the carpet and they
prepared to butcher the bull moose edi-
tor to make a Roman holiday.
Allen and Leahy went to the court
house at the appointed time. They car
ried a market basket with a cover on
1t. They opened the market basket
and disclosed the contents. consisting
Of about a dozen bottles Of liquor which
he said Chief Stewart had taken from
various jointists about town and sold
In tho city hall.
Allen had procured the liquor through
a negro who. he said, bought it from
the chief in the city hall building. Then
he produced a marked bill which he
said the negro had given the chief and
which the chief had loaned to another
negro who returned the bill to Allen.
Both these transactions, he alleged.
were witnessed by Leahy and Leahy
swore that he had seen the chief take
the money from the first negro and
give 1t to the second.
The upshot OF 1t was, Allen was ex-
onerated. the chief was arrested and
suspended and it is likely a move will
be started to recall Mayor Bentley.

IONS CT war munitions on board after
an explosion which may have been
caused by an internal machine sent

Early wireless advices from Cap

was no further danger.
Since the news of the fire in Min
nehaha's hold was received here yester-
day the department Of marine had had
a government steamer in readiness to
go to the assistance OF the liner II nee
cssary. Arrangements had also been
made for berthing the ship in such a
position in the harbor that shipping
would not be menaced by an explosion
in the event that fire communicated
with the chemicals and explosives
stored In the after hold.

the Northcltffe press. to prevent what
Is declared to be an intrigue to get
Lord Haldane back into the cabinet.
Premier Asquith's remarkable tribute
at q meeting of the National Liberal

the way for some attempt of this kind.
10 most people take the view
that 1t Is inadvisable during the prog
ress OF war to have these personal
questions threshed out publicly, a small
body of politicians is trying to force q
parliamentary discussion.
To Demand Explanation.
Sir Henry Dalzeil, liberal member for

ne VIII ask Premier AsQuith. In the
mouse OF on Monday, whether
Id Haldane's disclosures Of the pro-
ceedings Of a confidential committee Of

mier's authority, and it seems as
though the government would hardly
be able to avoid a public discussion.
n Asquith will be asked to
grant a day for full discussion of the
causes responsible for deficiency of
munitions.
Lord Haldane has kept a complete
silence regarding the controversy.
The Northcliffe press publishes an
a:ppen which it urges its readers to
sigi and send to the government pro-
testing against the readmission of Wis.,
count Haldane to the cabinet.

The Daily News declares that more

BANKRUPT NERVES

Each OF Us has certain supply Of ner.
vous energy. Every act, even every
thought, uses up some part OF this en-
ergy. During rest and sleep the supply
is Increased by the blood which gets the
needed elements from the air we breathe
and the food we eat.
Your nervous energy is like bank ac-
count. If you use it up faster than you
add to it you overdraw your account.
Neurasthenia is the name given to ner-
vous bankruptcy. 1t means that the
power to recuperate is gone.
The blood can be built up 80 that il
will increase the supply of needed ele-
ment5 to the wasted nerves and this is
the only way that the nerves can be
reached. DR.. Williams' Pink Pills are q
tonic that especially builds up the nerves
because they supply to the blood the ele-
ments that the nerves need. Many ner-
vous disorders, sometimes chronic ones,
have yielded to this tonic treatment with
DR.. Williams Pink Pills when other
methods failed to give relief. They are
certainly worthy Of trial in every case OF
weak nerves and thin blood.
DR.. williams Pink Pills are sold by

Voice Of the Peop'e

To the Editor OF The Gate City:
According to newspaper reports,
negotiations have been going on for
some time and are almost completed
for the consolidation Of Iowa Wesley
an university, of Mt. Pleasant, and
Parsons college, of Fairfield.
This is astonishing enough, but ev-
en- more remarkable Is the fact that so
little is known about It in Keokuk,
where Parsons college has many
alumni and some trustees, and Iowa
Wesleyan and Methodism Is strong.
T have loved Iowa Wesleyan uni
versity for more years than some OF
Its alumni have lived. It has sent out
into the world men who have done
much for mankind and their country.
From the time of the early history OF
the state it has been a representative
of Methodist education in Iowa, the
college in Iowa called Wesleyan be-
cause intended to be the chief seat Of
Methodist education in the state. =

Methodists OF the southern Iowa con-
ference when they discover that Iowa
Wesleyan university has been con-
solidated with the Presbyterian Par
sons college In such way that Meth
odism loses control Of its pioneer col
lege in Iowa

onIv Books Which Have the Approx

be Urged During These
ssvsn Days.

The Safety First Juvenile Book
vaek at the Keokuk public library
next week, promises to be OF interest
and real value. An interesting ex-
hibtt OF the best books for both boys
and girls has been arranged by the
librarians, and everyone is invited to
come in and inspect the exhibit and to
become better acquainted with the
nroper sort OF literature. Practically
Ill of the books which have been rec
commended for boys are on the shelves
of the Keokul public library, and can
be had for the asking.
Great effort II being made to call
the attention OF the public to this bet
ter book week. The Publishers
.,eekly OF recent date said of the
movement:
II was obvious that one of the first
desiderata was a suggestive list of APP
proved boys books, and to the COM
nilation OF such list, Mr.. Matthews,
acting for the boy scout organization,
at once set himself. There have been
published q number OF very excellent
PHOTOGRAPHERS OF juvenile literature,
most OF them compiled under library
auspices. Something little different
however, was conceived, list which,
without any lowering Of literary or
moral standards, should be practical. :"
/. e., avowedly and provedly one OF
popular books.
For this reason its compilation was
proceeded with along somewhat orig
inal lines. Circular letters OF inquiry
were addressed to scores OF booksei-
lers and children's Librarians through
out the country, asking them for lists,
not of the 'best" Juveniles, but Of the
most popular, as evidence in the one
case by sales and in the other by cir.
culation From the combined returns
a list OF one thousand or more, more
or less permanent juvenile "best-sel-
lers" was compiled. Then, and not be-
fore, a moral and literary standard
was established and, by successive
eliminations, three hundred titles wero
G osen, which were not only the Books
Boys Like Best, but which were
worthy their liking!
It is not for an instant contended,
OF course. that this list contains all tho
good boys books. There are hum
dreds equally good, possibly better In
1 literary II not moral quality. But
they are q careful selection OF the
good books that the boys themselves
have shown they like best. There
will be no necessity Of urging q read
ing of them. And. collectively, they
alone will keep even the reading boy
busy for some years.
