'RETT[R TRAIN SCHEDULES
ARE SOUGHT BY KEOKUK

length byaJ. B. Well, and although he
stated that this was probably not the
opportune time to seek better service,
no harm could be done in making such
request.
1t was stated that the proposition
would probably be opposed by the
railroad on the grounds OF the time
that the train would have to leave Des
Moines. but that It was Keokuk and
not Des Moines that interested local
merchants and shippers.
The long wait at Eldon, Iowa, It was
said, could be shortened, thus making
a difference Of many minutes. A sugges-
ton may be made to have stub train
put into service between Keokuk and
Eldon or Keokuk and Ottumwa. Many
people who otherwise go to Ottumwa
to trade would come to Keokuk II q
favorable schedule could be put into
use. 1t was stated by Mr.. Well.
G. #. Skirvin stated that it seemed
as though the schedule Of the Rock
Island, and some of the other trains
had been made to suit every other
town except Keokuk.
It was practically decided that 4:45
was the proper time for trains to leave
the city to best accommodate out
of-town people.
Although 4:45 was decided upon as
the time to ask for trains to leave, it
is understood that the departure would
vary from five to ten minutes, soma
OF them leaving shortly after o'clock
and other possibly nearer o'clock.
Plan Of Campaign.
The plan to be used in the campaign
to get better service Is as follows:
A letter will be written to heads Of
the railroads. first by the Industrial
association. The Retailers league Will
then write and Mayor Moorhead, rep
resenttng the city business interests
at large and the city council will fol-
low with communication.
Providing no definite relief is prom
Used, committee will be formed, and
after q communication Is written by
the transportation committee Of the
Industrial association. stating that q
special committee will visit the rail-
road ofncinls, will make visit IN per-
son. It Is believed that more can be
accomplished by first letting the de-
sired changes be known by mail and
following up the letters with personal
calls. ]. P. 1ngle proposed the fore
going plan and it was endorsed unani-
mously.
Mr.. Ingle stated that the communi-
cations should ask for the proposed
changes state the reasons why, and
demand an answer.
M. e. Justice will have charge OF
the campaign and inform each organi-
zation OF the time to mail it's commune
ication.

Editorial Comment on Resignation OF
Mayor r. O. Marsh, Gives Views
Held by Citizens
There.
STOPS WORK ON SEWERS
INDEFINITE Postponement 10 Fate Of
That PropesItIon--Water Mains
Extension is Simple
Matter.

Editorial comment in this weeks
issue Of the Warsaw Bulletin gives
some additional light on the resigna-
ton Of Mayor r. o. Marsh, which was
reported exclusively In The Gate City
on Tuesday. The Bulletin says:
Finding that he was not to be sup
ported in his effort to install sewer
system and extend the water works.
Mayor R. O. Marsh filed his resigna-
ten Tuesday and left the afternoon
Of the same day for Brockport, N. Y.
to join his family in their summer
visit.
1t is now very apparent that it was
a mistake to undertake the installation
of a sewer system, especially embrac-
ing SO much territory. without rrsr
thoroughly acquainting the people
with the proposition, convincing them
OF its necessity, familiarizing them
with the cost and carefully informing
them especially as to the manner OF
meeting the same. In consequence
there was no end to the misinforma-
ton abroad, which awakened suspi-
cion, bred distrust and created bad
feeling, all Of which was intensified
by want of diplomacy and tact in
dealing with those who had griev-
ances, real or imaginary.
Was Made Goat.
However, all feeling should not CEN
ter on Mr.. Marsh. He was made the
goat. When he came into. Office he
had not been in touch with public
sentiment and accepted at par the
statements of number OF persons in
whose judgment he relied and who
were insistent that the work should
be done at once: that those opposing
were few, and at the worst this oppo,
sition could be dissipated by vigorous
action. AS soon as determined OPP
position did develop those who we're
most alive in urging the Improvements
on him failed to come out in the open,
and the mayor was practically left to
make the fight alone PROFESSIONALLY
there was want of judgment in deal
ing with the public. but In the gen.
eral criticism 1t should be remember.
ed that there are others equally re-
mitted to escape their portion Of the
blame.
Sewer Work Postponed.
It may be accepted as settled that
the installation of sewage system
has been indefinitely postponed. It
will come in due course of time, but
not until there is a marked change of
sentiment, and to bring about that
change there will have to be cam
paign of education.
The extension Of the water mains
should be simple proposition, and
the need of this should appeal to
every one; but here again come unfor-
tunate conditions, due to the bungling
manner in which the system was ini-
tiated and the deceit attending it,
which promise more grief for the
authorities who attempt to straighten
out the kinks and proceed with the

TRY YOUTPAGEANT
STEPS JANUARY 4
Miss Katherine holland in New
York Getting Tips For
Big Ball

Should you be lucky enough to sneak
a peek at the next rehearsal January
4 of the dancing youths and maidens
who will star at the Pageant Ball, you
might get partial idea of what Har-
lisburg's great midwinter benefit social
function is going to be.
Miss Katherine holland who will
train the pick of the city's dancing
youths and maidens, is in New York
for the express purpose of getting tips
on costumes, color effects and so on.
She will be i'm charge of the big re-
hearsal January when the partici-
pants in the various steps will get in
structions as to costuming, etc.
The Pageant Ball as the committee
has decided to call the coming bene-
tit, will be held in Chestnut Street Au-
ditorium January 20; the finance COM
mittee of the Associated Aids Societies
which is serving as a committee of
arrangements, has planned something
a little more gorgeous than Harrisburg
has ever known. TIL proceeds will be
devoted to the general funds of the
Aids societieS-the Children's Aid Society
and the Social Service bureau-and
hundreds of dollars will be realized.
The Dance in the Garden
Details as 10 color and decorative
schemes have not yet been definitely
decided upon but the committee has
arranged 10 transform Chestnut Street
auditorium into a Towering garden
probably of old Japan-on scale
never before attempted here.
That the Pageant of Dancingw will de-
pict the four periods in history-the
dances of antiquity, of the middle ages,
the Renaissance and the ninteenth
century-is generally known. And
from the time Miss Katherine Noland
opens the program in the dance of the
vases" on down to the final number in
waltz, the guests will be able to trace
the years of history as My Lady and
her escort danced them down through
the centuries.
The dance of the vases" will repre-
sent Old Egypt and this will be fol-
lowed with the pretty flower dance"
of the maidens of Greece. So An
tiquity" will be portrayed. The Pa
vane," the dance of the peacock" that
was so popular in the Basse provinces
will follow. Cardinals and mobiles did
that dance in the days of the French

dances of the ninteenth century be
without their wealth of delightful col
or effect. That was the period of the
''Varsovianna," the Waltz" and the
"Mazurka-" My Lady will dance the
"Varsouvianna," in crinoline and hoop

saddest country in war-torn Europe
may be suggested in the music when
the mazurka is danced. The mazurka
