The journal Believes That New Time
Card Effective on Sunday,
Shows That Road
Favors Them.
CHANGE IN TIME HERE
Afternoon Train viii Depart About
Three Quarters Of an Hour Earlier
In Order to Make
Connection.

The changes In the Wabash time
card are taken by the Quincy Journal
to indicate that the railroad is favor
ing Quincy over some Of the other
cities. The change at Quincy means
a change in leaving time here in the
afternoon. The following is from the
Quincy Journal:
Because of the fact that the terri
tory through which the Wabash Keo-
kuk-Bluft line runs is located we'll
within the commercial field of Quincy,
The Journal has taken special pains
to inquire into the operation of the
proposed new time card Of that road,
which goes into effect next Sunday.
It is pleasing fact to report that
the changes to be made in the time
card are favorable and not unfavor-
able for Quincy and those who desire
to do their trading in this important
market center.
Under the new card the train that
runs via Camp Point and Clayton will
leave Quincy at 5:15 p. M, instead Of
$3.50 as at present. This train will
make close connections with the train
from Keokuk to Bluffs getting people
into Clayton, Timewell, Mt Sterling,
Hersman, Meredosia, Versailles, etc,
about forty-five minutes earlier than
now. This change will also put the
Evening Journal into these towns be-
fore the postoff1ces close.
There is to be quite change in the
leaving time of the train from Keo-
kuk. Instead of leaving Keokuk at
$3.50 the train will leave there at 4:45
o'clock, arriving at Carthage about
5:29. At Carthage the Wabash train
east bound will take on travellers and
mail including the Evening Journal
for Bowen, Bentley and Denver, I'LL
nois. AID the good part OF this
change will be that the residents of
the towns just named will reach their
homes earlier than it is possible for
them to arrive under the present
schedule. Other towns in this terri
tory will also BIZ reached by residents
and the Quincy evening newspapers,
that it Is hard now to reach. So.
take it altogether, General Passenger
Agent Mcnamara and Superintendent
Brown are figuring on giving Quincy
its Just dues as the leading CONNER
cial center OF the road in this section
of the country.
Inasmuch as the Burlington has re-
Gently refused to change the time Of
its Louisiana branch train at the re-
quest of another city, it seems the !
railroads entering Quincy are at last
really trying to help the Gem City.

HOW SHE ENDED
TEN YEARS OF
SKIN-T0RTURE

Oct. %, l9l4:-"1 had eczema on my
face for ten years. Little red pimples
formed in small spot on my chin and
then spread all over my face. They
itched and burned me awfully. It was
certainly embarrassing to me, and I
would not go amongst people. I tried
almost every remedy and treatment
that could be used for this trouble, but
nothing did me any good. I used Res
mol Ointment and Resinol Soap, and
was relieved in day or two. In one
month I was cured. This was six
months ago and the trouble has never
returned. &c igned) Mrs. c. C. Rob-
erts, Weatherford, Okla.
The Resinol treatment speedily heals
eczema, rashes, ringworm, and other
eruptions, and clears away disfiguring
pimples and blackheads, even when
other treatments prove worse than use
less. Doctors have prescribed Resinol
Ointment and Resinol Soap for eigh-
teen years, and all druggists sell them.

BONAPARTE.

A severe wind and rain storm
struck Bonaparte about o'clock Tues
day morning, doing much damage to
shade trees in the south part Of
town. Several large trees were blown
against the dwellings, but no serious
damage was done to the buildings. A
large tree in Floyd Macklin's yard
was struck by lightning. A few miles
northeast Of here, a young man, Lee
Nixon, was killed by lightning and
his father is in a serious condition
from the same cause.

Today's oldest Story

BELoIT, Wis, May 26.-south Be-
lott, Ill, isn't.
It's South Beloit, WIS, actually, ac-
cording to Granville D. Jones, re-
gent OF the University Of Wisconsin.
Jones was member Of the survey
ing crew which did the work of the
U. s. coast and geodetc survey in
Wisconsin from 1875 to 1880. When
Wisconsin was made state in 1s4S
the Wisconsin-Illinois boundary was
fixed half mile north of latitude AZ
degrees and so minutes north. The
survey established the fact, accord
ing to Jones, that the lire which had
been accepted as the boundary for
over a quarter of century was any
thing but straight, and at Beloit it
was fully half mile north of the
actual boundary.
If Jones is right, South Beloit
should be in Wisconsin territory. It
is highly improbable, however, that
any attempt shall be made to have
the present line changed.

White Plague Fighter Who Was

Contemplating Going Into
Other Field.
HAS MET WITH SUCCESS
His Friends In keokuk and Through
out Iowa WIN Wish Him Well
In His New
Calling.

The report comes from Des Moines
that Aretas E. Kepford Is about to
enter new work. He has been lead
ing the tight against the white plague
in Iowa. He has been an unttring and
most successful worker and organ
izer. He did the work Of many. And
he did it surprisingly well. And he
probably did it for very small sal
airy. as salaries for public Office go In
this state. He probably did not get
the recognition from the men higher
I'D that he merited. He is going into
eyangelistic work. He left the pulpit
to take up the work against the dread
white plague, and he should have
been aided and encouraged to keep up
the work so we'll begun. 1t will be
very difficult, perhaps impossible, to
find another to take his place and to
continue the work that he has so we'll
begun All Iowans who are interested
in the war upon tuberculosis, and
Keokuians, especially, will wish the
untiring worker success In all his
future work, and will regret that he
could not see his way clear to con-
tinue the work so nobly begun. A
Des Moines correspondent says:
"a. R. Kepford, state lecturer on
tuberculosis. is soon to engage IN
evangelistic work exclusively, resign
ing voluntarily his position with the
state and retiring July I, after nine
years Of devotion to the cause of the
fight against the white plague.
THE people who have followed the
fight against tuberculosis in Iowa and
have enlisted in the warfare with DR..
Kepford, will learn Of his determine
ton to retire with keen regret. He
has been an able and successful
commander, and is retiring at the
time of his great popularity and when
his capacity for good is recognized
by all.

This task DR.. Kepford undertook
in 1906 was great one. He had Tor
chief asset an indomitable courage
and unremittfng energy. And he so
definitely impressed himself upon the
state at large that there has been a
greatly enlarged view Of the whole
subject BY society. He went at his
task alone and almost s1ngle-handed.
He lectured on a disease which flled
multftudes with terror. and this re-
CURED adroit presentation to gain
popular favor. He had to overcome
tradition and prejudice and actual OPP
nosition from some elements. AS he
was minister, his knowledge of the
pulpit and its amenities secured for
him the opening of churches. and ne
q attributes much Of his success to the
and the clergymen. Schools, colleges |
universities. commercial clubs. wom-
ems clubs. farmers institutes, have +

information, and the !

tant factor In bringing knowledge di-
