DONNELLSON MAYOR
GIVES UP HIS JOB
III Health and Some Unnleaeantness
Connected with Office the
Reason,

II was mentioned dav or so ago
in The Gate City that Mayor Peter
Felt Of Donnellson had resigned. The
Donnellson Review today gives little
more detailed account of the resig1a-
ton:
At the regular meeting of the coun-
ell MonGav night Mayor Peter Felt
was absent. but his resignation was
on file. This came as surprise to
the members Of the council, and the
result was that it was laid on the
table to be acted on in the future.
In an interview with the mayor the
next morning, he gave as his reasons
for resigning. Door health and the
fact that he had been misrepresanted
on various matters pertaining to his
official duty.
II the council accents the resigna-
ton, which thew will be cop;pelled to
do unless it is withdrawn, it will
mean a special election to fill the va
cancy In the meantime. as soon as
the resignation is accepted, the coun-
Gil can appoint any citizen to act UNI
til mayor is elected.
If any one is looking for Job that
carries with it minimum of salary
and a maximum Of cussing they
should make application early AID
avoid the rush.

BURLINGTON WILL
ASK AUTO OWNERS
Safety First Campaign Plans will be
Communicated to Owners Of
Machines.

The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
safety first department will shortly
mail to every automobile owner and
dealer II this section OF the state, lit
erature pertaining to facts which will
tend to decrease the number Of grade
and street crossing accidents. In this
literature will be stated precautions,
which every auto owner and dealer
should read carefully and practice
what is outlined.
e. M. Switzer, superintendent OF
safety first for the Burlington has
written number Of circular letters
to railroad officials in this city ask
ing them to send in list of dealers
and those who are the owners Of cars.
Mr.. Switzer states that the literature
will be valuable and Is expected to
decrease the number Of grade and
street crossing accidents. In the past
few years the accidents to automobile
parties have increased materially.
Since the Inauguration of the
safety first department the Burling-
ton has not had as many accidents to
employees as previous to that time.
The employees have been taught to
guard themselves and the company
feels that the instructions that will
b, sent out to the automobile owners
will tend to decrease the number of
accidents and fatalities.

FIRE INSURANCE
DEMAND Is MADE
Pfanschmidt's Attorneys Ask Company
to Pay Amounts Which are
Said to Be Due.

At the Office of Sheriff Coens today
it was learned that the law firm of
Covert & Lancaster, repres entatives
of Ray Pfanschn1idt, have demanded
from the Farmers Mutual Fire Insur-
ance company of Payson, payment of
the sum Of nearly $500, carried by
the parents of Ray Pfanschmidt on
the Payson homestead. and 1t is ex-
pected the demand will be met, says
the Quincy Journal.
There Is no other alternative, it is
taken, inasmuch as that IL the state
could prove that Ray fired the place.
but could not prove he murdered,
nothing could be done, unless the
property was oper-insured, which is
not the case.
According to the Illinois law, a man
can set fire to his own property, as
long as he does not burn to defraud.
He can set fire to it if it is not in
sured at too high figure, and the
iPfanschmidt property was insured
within the limit.

FEBRUARY WAS
HARDEST MONTH.
Struggle for Existence Was keeness
in Month Just Passed. Ac-
cordlns to GIaseoff's
Report.
BOARD MEETING HELD
Directors Were in Session Last Night
and Routine Business Was
Transacted by
Them.

The regular monthly meeting OF the
board OF directors Of the United Char
tiles was held last night. Routine
business was transacted. and the re-
port Of the secretary, d. A. GLASGOW,
was read for the month. Mr.. GLASGOW s
report showed that February was one
of the hardest months of the winter
for the dependent people OF the city.
Following is the report:
The struggle for Independent exist
ence grew more fierce during Febrl-
airy than at any time during the past
three months and the end is not yet
in sight. A survey of the field shows
the monster of cold and hunger run
ming at large and in his wake lie
many a family and individual wouna-
ed and crippled requiring careful at
tention il they are ever again to be-
come producers. The demand for
constructive charity is increasing ev-
cry day. Tax payers are demanding
those requiring material aid be so
helped that they will in the future be
able to help themselves. This or
ganization, through the cooperation
of its many friends. is being able 20
accomplish this very thing. The fol-
lowing statistical report of the
months endeavor will throw little
light on the work that has been ac-
complished. 1t cannot picture all for
much OF the work is such that it can
not be tabulated and classified nor
would it be wise to devote more than
very small portion of our time to
such work.
Enough people come under the
care of the United Charities and the
Humane society to form small coun-
try village and the various trades rep
resented would, with one or two ex-
captions be all that might be found
in such community. There were
seventy-seven families consisting Of
three hundred individuals, of whom
one hundred forty-four were fourteen
years Of age or older. Thirty-seven
families, containing ninety-eight indi-
viduals. had never asked charity pre-
vious to this month; seven had re-
ceived help prior to November 1914,
but not since until in February. The
balance had been asking during the
past three months. Their marital
conditions divides them into the fol-
lowing groups: married couples. thir-
ty-nine: widows and single non-resi-
dent men, one each; widowers and
single resident men, six each; separ-
ated couples and single women, four
each; unknown, two; divorced cou.
pies and children, one each.

Say, fellows, did you ever stop to
think that it's jolly fine of our editor
Ito grant us such liberal STAGE each
week for our department? Some time
when you are down by The Gate City
office, suppose you just drop in and
say, THANK you," and also tell your
friends, about the Boy Scout Notes
and get them to read it each week,
whether they are scouts or not.
THE CONTEST.
Have you written your composition
en- "a Scouts HONOR" II not, read
last weeks edition again and sit. down
right now and write it. We want to
know what you think about it. Hand
it in next Monday and you may see
It in print, Friday.
THE SPRING SIGNS.
Are you watching for the birds, the
leaf buds on the trees, the tiny green
blades of grass springing up and the
moss on the hill side? Even the stars
change their position with the advent
of spring and the sun gets up earlier
and retires more reluctantly now that
his season is near Another sign OF
spring is that scouts everywhere are
migrating from the cities to the open
fields and woods. 1t is an excellent
time for the seven mile hike, fine
time to practice your fire building
tests and cooking in the open, as well
as trailing signaling, studying stars
and the trees, plants, birds and ami
mails to be described in the first class
examination.
Don't wait. Hike to the woods but
always with a definite purpose, to
learn some one thing about woodcraft.
We will soon arrange troop hikes, too,
but go oftener, IL you love the out OF
doors, with your scout manual and
one or two chums. and practice for
your examinations. Let's make this
a record year for training and scout
So far, there are but
two first class scouts in Keokuk and
there should be ten within the next
six weeks. Will you be one Of them?
THE BIRDS.
The following list of birds have been
seen by scouts of keokuk. Can you
add to the list? Robin. red bird, chick.
adee. bluejay and brown thrush.
Keep your eyes and ears open for
the birds from the south and every
time you see or hear one that has not
been mentioned in the bird list, let
me know at once and the new addition
will be printed each week. Watch for
the "honk" of the geese, the s,lrest
sign of spring.
THE LEADERS, MEETING.
On last Sunday afternoon, the lead
ers Of troops one and two met at
