will hold its regular meeting tonight
at Woodman hall. All members are re-
quested to be present.
-Nauvoo will have public library
managed on the same general lines
as is Keokuk's. The Rustler in its
last issue says: At last Tuesdays
meeting of the city council, 1t was de-
cided to take over the public library,
on account Of the library association
finding 1t difficult to finance the insti-
tuition. Nauvoo can raise In taxes $3.50
annually for the support of a library,
and there will be no difficulty In keep
ing the institution going. The mayor
will appoint nine citizens as board Of
managers for the library. The library
| will not be free to everybody. The
Nauvoo public school library has been
| turned over to the city. There are
a splendid addition.
For rent: Office rooms over Keo-
! kuk National bank. Enquire Of E. s.

| The Iowa weather and crop SER
May II has Just been issued as fol-
/ lows: The frst I'VE days Of the week
We're much warmer than usual for the
/ time OF the year. but the last two days
were cold. Frost was general on the
morning Of the 18th and freezing tenn
peratures occurred in many parts OF
the state The rainfall was generally
light and poorly distributed, the south
! western counties receiving none. while
| northern Hardin and southern Kossuth
| counties have received more than an
inch. The frost on the 9Th and prob
ably the one on the 18th did much
i damage to garden truck, and In some
| localities to fruit. The frost, to-
gether with high winds on Saturday
and Sunday. caused cherries to drop
badly. and in most sections the crop
will be light. Apples are apparently
in good condition. Field work pro-
crossed rapidly and about Is percent
Of the corn is planted. Much OF the
! early planted is up and shows a good
! stand. Oats begin to show the need
of moisture in the southern counties
and IL rain IDEAS not come soon all
grain will have tendency to head
short. In other sections OF the state
! grain and grass are in good condition,
/ but rain would be beneficial.
