THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.

When the Indian lived in the far
awy land,
When the pine and poplar was a shell
ter for man,
When camps were spread in which all
was content,
When the stars shown peace out OF a
spacious armament,
When love was life, and life was love,
And the Supreme Ruler ruled from
above,
Then we planned to live. not to die,
And from our lips there never escaped
sigh of discomfort,
For all was peace and all was Joy
To all Gods children, man, woman,
girl or boy.

A Correction

County Commissioner Harlan in
forms the Republican that it does the
old county board an injustice when it
stated, two weeks ago, that the two
mills for roads was to pay up old dem
ocratic debts. He says it is made
necessary to meet debts principally
contracted by the present board, ard
that the board has no desire to shift
any of the responsibility for its
official acts. The Republican hastens
to make the correction 1t desires
to give the people nothing but the
facts and the truth, whether it be
good or bad, and when we do make an
error will always hasten to correct it,
and that without waiting for the
aggrieved parties to asked it. 1t is
always manly and courageous to do
right. 1t is only coward who will
wrong another and then sneak out of
it without trying to do justice.
Instead of ten mills, allow 8 mills
for old debts. This leave II mills
for county expense to be charged to
the present county board

Near-Serious Blaze

A miss may be as good as mile,
but there is more satisfaction. whea
its tire, f its mile off. This will
meet the approval of the Orotino Trad
ing Company, whose store came near
being destroyed Wednesday morning.
When j H. Noftsger opened the door
early in the morning dense smoke
filled the room. Cropping his way in
side to the stove he discovered the
fire, still smoldering III the floor,
where it had been eating all night.
A great hole, eight or ten feet across,
had been burned out, and lack of
draft had prevented the fire burning
more rapidly. Evidently it was
caused by cigar being thrown into a
spittoon, box Of sawdust, which had
disappeared. The box had been in
front of the stove, from which point
the fire started. Sparks could not
have fallen from the stove. The fire
company quickly responded and by the
use of the chemical extinguished the
blaze without damage to the stock.
But little water was used, although
one of the big fire hose was laid and
the water slightly turned on for
emergency. Aside from slight dam
age to the building, the principal loss
will be from smoke, which Manager
A. E. Holmberg was unable to estim-
ate. What the daamge will be to dry
goods from being colored by smoke,
and how much the smoke will pene-
trate and injure flour and other sup
plies, he did not know. The company
carries heavy insurance, and the loss
will be promptly adjusted, Mix and
Walrath wiring the insurance compan-
les to send an adjustor.

of Praise for Their Boost.

Still Unsettled.
CONDITIONS ARE GOOD

THE spirit of boosting is rampant
in western United States" said M. e.
Justice today, after returning from a
months visit in California. Colorado,
Nebraska, and other western states.
Everybody Is boosting; everybody is
working together and results are
being achieved. Business is showing
a general Improvement all through
the west; the crops are good in the
places I visited, and the people are
all optimistic.
tine west has good roads, good
lights, good streets, good crops, ana
much progressive spirit. This spirit
is spreading through the middle west
now and the progress experienced In
Keokuk during the past few years
compares favorably with many points
farther toward the coast"
Mr.. Justice left Keokuk on lSoyem-
Der A to attend the meeting of the
National Association of Minor
Leagues which convened in San Fran
cisco on Nov. 8. 10, II. He had the
honor Of being elected to position
on an important committee and took
a prominent part in the convention.
He also presented the case of the
Central association against the Three
1 league for the Rock Island territory.
The result was that a committee OF
three was appointed to visit Rock
Island some time this month, as re-
ported exclusively in The Gate City
on Tuesday, and to determine the
sentiment of that city for baseball
next year.
This committee is composed of Tom
Chivington, president of the Ameri-
can association. Dr. Carson, former
president of the Central league, and
D. f. Mol of Milwaukee, of the WI
league. Mr.. Justice as president OF
the Central association, will meet
this committee at Rock Island.

STOMACH UPSET.
Get at the Real Cause - Take
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets

That's what thousands Of stomach suf-
ferers are doing now. Instead Of taking
tonics, or trying to patch up poor diges-
ton, they are attacking the real cause of
the a.lment-clogged liver and disordered
bowels.
DR., Edwards Olive Tablets arouse the
liver in a soothing, healing way. When
the liver and bowels are performing their
natural functions, away goes indigestion
and stomach troubles.
If you have a bad taste in your mouth,
tongue coated, appetite poor, lazy, don't
care feeling, no ambition or energy, trou-
bled with undigested food, you should take
Olive Tablets, the substitute for calonel.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are 4 purely
vegetable compound mixed with olive oil.
You will know them by their olive color.
They do the work without gripping, cramps
or pain.
Take one or two at bedtime for quick
relief, so you can eat what you like. At
10c and 25c per box. All druggists.

1t will not be placed in the local Bur
lington shops for repairs for some
time as the necessary repairing ma
tertal is not here at present.
The locomotive was raised from tho
Quincy bay last Monday afternoon by
the Hannibal wrecker under the per-
sonal supervision of Joseph. Chouinard,
foreman of the local wrecker. J. w.
Lowe was the engineer on the Hanni-
bal wrecker. He and Mr.. Chouinard
and the remaining members of ths
crew are entitled to great credit for
the raising of the locomotive as it was
q most difficult task to be accomplish
ed. The engine was raised above the
surface of the water and placed on
government barges. 1t was then NOV
ed to the bank of the island and pulled
up 45-foot embankment to the rail-
road track where it was placed on new
trucks. The distance from the rails
on the lower bay bridge to the surface
OF the water is f1fty-three feet. The
engine was submerged more than
twelve feet in water and mud.
In tumbling through the open draw,
the huge locomotive turned complete
ly over and fell on its left side. The
cab was totally demolished.
