HEAVY SNOW STORM.

A regular old time pinery snow
storm visited this section last Wednes-
day afternoon. The weather was
just cold enough for snow and it fell
in great large flakes undisturbed by
wind. There was level fall of six in
ches. The sound of the snow shovel
was heard late into the night for it
was o'clock and past when the
storm stopped. Wausau and vicinity
now has the best sleighing in years,
before the HOLIDAYS

pleaded guilty and was sentenced to

He averred that he had led an honest
life up to two weeks ago.

Man In Charge Of Engine Pulling No.

Has Unpleasant Experience
This Morning.
OFF FooTBoARD
Was Able to Walk Back to Alexandria
and Notified keokuk Fireman =
Who Took Train
Through.

Train No. z, northbound on the
Burlington which is due here at 2:35
O'Clock in the morning pulled into the
union station minus Engineer Cum
ningham. He had stepped down onto
the footboard of his engine just after
it left Alexandria, and jolt OF the
train had dropped him off onto the
right of way. Fortunately he landed
in snow drift and was not hurt.
The fireman did not notice the en-
gineer's absence until the train
reached the Des Moines river bridge.
He brought the train into Keokuk.
The engineer in the meantime had
made his way back to Alexandria,
and had notified the local station that
he was safe. It was decided by the
conductor Of the train to pick up an
other fireman here, which was done,
and the fireman took the train on
through to Burlington.
The engineer who had the expert
ence OF falling Off his engine came to
Keokuk this morning on the north
bound passenger at 1885. He was not
injured, in his fall, the snow serving
as cushion. 1t was fortunate es-
cape for him.

At Her Home About a Mile Above
Hamilton, H., Where She
Had Lived Since
1871.
WELL KNOWN IN KEoKUK
She Was Good Woman and Was
Well Known in This Vicinity
In Iowa and
Illinois.

1t will be with feelings Of sorrow
to the people of this vicinity that the
announcement of the death Of Mrs. B.
+. Hambleton will be. read. She had
lived in this vicinity SO long and her
late husband was so prominent in the
business progress Of the city that
they were looked upon as residents
of the city and among the most promt.
nent. Noted for their liberal hospi-
tally and delightful manner Of enter
tanning their friends, Mr.. and Mrs.
Hambleton were very prominent and
popular in the church and social ac-
tivities of Keokuk, while no man IN
Keokuk had higher business stand
ing than B. F. hambleton.
Mrs Hambleton's maiden name was
Marie Elizabeth Thompson, and she
was born April 16, 1896 at Redding,
Ohio, where she spent her earlier
days.
On February Is, 1853 she was mar
ried to Mr.. B. Franklin Hambleton, at
Glasgow, Iowa. Later they came to
Keokuk where Mr. Hambleton became
largely interested in commercial and
industrial affairs.
They owned and resided on beau
tiful farm on the Illinois side of the
Mississippi river, about one mile
above Hamilton and their lovely home
was one of the most popular in that
locality. Numbers OF Keokuk people
visited them and received royal treat
ment and the most liberal and friend
ly entertainment and the Hambleton
home became a fayorite place to those
who enjoy drive along the river and
a pleasant place to enjoy an hour OF
splendid Hambleton hospitality.
Since the death Of Mr.. Hambletou.
which lamented event occurred Octo-
Der "a, 1912, there seems to have been
a shadow cast over the delightful
farm up the river, Mrs. Hambleton's
health and added years preventing
her from participating as actively IN
affairs as in the earlier days. Yet,
persons passing in sight OF the Ia
miliar homestead would point to it
and recite incidents Of its former
for social enjoyment and
genuine hospitality. She had lived on
this farm since 1871.
Mrs. Hambletcn was a member OF
the Keokuk Congregational church,
and was good woman, as her hosts
OF friends both In Iowa and Illinois
will attest, and no woman had q more
earnest and sincere hold on the affec-
lions of her friends and neighbors.
The brightest flowers of memory, af-
lection and regret will be placed ten
derly upon her bier.
Mrs. Hambleton is-survived by four
children, Clarence and Helen at home,
Arthur Hambleton of Keokuk, Mrs.
C. H. Leas of Decatur, H.. and nine
grand children and five great granu.

DON'T WASH YOUR
HAIR WITH SOAP

When you wash your hair, don't
use soap. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
which is very injurious, as it dries the
scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsihed cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats soaps or anything
else all to pieces. You can get this
at any drug store, and a few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about teaspoon
full is all that is required 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to
handle. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.
