every kind are made, stopped all de-
liveries. Already more than 100000
workmen are idle. This includes
about 10000 carpenters, whose strike

WANT 1T TO BE OF BEST

The Keokuk Country club Will
rebuild. and the new club house will
be Of the same style as the building
which was destroyed by fire two
months ago. This was the sentiment
of the meeting of the members which
was held last night. The president of
lied to appoint committee which
lures Of this rebuilding. Mr.. McFar-
land has not yet chosen his commit.
tee.
There were two questions which
were discussed by those who attended
the conference last night. The first
of these was whether the club should
rebuild at once, or wait. The second
was whether the plans for a smaller
club house, and one not nearly so
elaborate as the burned structure
should be erected.
After considerable informal discus
sion a ballot was taken, and the ma
iority voted for rebuilding the club
house at once.
The question Of the size Of the
building, and the cost was then con-
sid.ered. 1t was the general opinion
that 1t was not just the thing to build
home which would be smaller, and
not as convenient or commodious as
the former club house. The mem
bers decided that they wanted club
house of the type which would be a
credit to the club and to the city. 1t
was decided that something bigger
and better than that contemplated in
the plans already drawn should be
constructed.
AS this will take some additional
problems of financing, the chairman
Of the meeting, President Mcfarland
Of the Country club, was authorized
to name committee which would
have charge OF this feature. This com.
mittee will be announced in two or
three days.

Co. have been readjusted and were
presented 10 Judge Anderson Of the

tions at the time he became receiver

pected that the company would show

instead he had been able 10 pay all rel
ceiver's certificates, which amounted
to $4,000, and has a surplus of
100000.
This means that the operations of
the company have yielded an income
of S1,120,000 more than was expected
at the beginning of the year, due to
sales, careful operation and economy

lied by the court last winter TO issue
