Iowa goes dry at midnight tonight
AT 9 o'clock IN the evening, Keokuk
saloons will close never to open again
unless the repeal Of the mulct law is
proven illegal in court
Keokuk people view the situation
from two angles. Some are celebrat.
ing the victory of the dry forces while
others are predicting that the loss OF
the saloons and the saioon revenue
will mean great calamity This is
problem in ethics and 1t remains to
be seen what the effect will be-
1t is believed that there will be no
demonstration when the saloons close
tonight and that the event Will pass
in a quiet manner. AS Chief of Police
Kenney stated in an Interview today,
he believes that Keolruk is law abid-
ing community and looks for no
trouble from anyone.
The eyes Of the state are turned on
Keokuk, for it is in this city that .
great legal battle will undoubtedly be
fought between the dry and wet inter
ests A sale Of bottle OF beer will be
made in Keoks1k on Monday, January
10, at 10 o'clock at South Water
street, by Phil Nickel, local saloon
proprietor and 1t is expected that At
torney General George Cosson, per-
sonal1y. or some of his aides will be on
the spot ready to take action.

moned to start the bar fixtures on a

What Acts Provide For.
In order to make the revival OF
repeal law effective, the legislature
passed number OF so-called law en-
forcement acts. For the person who
wishes to observe the law and also for
the person who likes to know whether
mary Of the provisions OF these acts
follows.
Judges Of the district and superior
courts of the state are authorized to
issue search warrants for the seizure
Of liquor, and are given jurisdiction
in the matter of serving notices, trial
and judgment in liquor cases.
When a person has been enjoined
against selling liquor. the injunction
is effective throughout the state, in
stead of only In the judicial district
as heretofore Those who violate an
Injunction of the court against the
selling Of liquor the second time are
more severely punished than first Of
tenders. Indeed, anyone convicted a
second time for violation of the liquor
laws of the state is deemed a persis-
tent y1olator of such laws and SEN

One Tor City and II 10 Hoped
New One Will Continue
This.

Keokuk will welcome the New Year
tonight at midnight in practically the
same way that old years have been
told goodbye and new years welcomed
in, for the last two generations. There
will be some of the enthusiastic citi-
zens who will discharge volley OF
blank cartridges. others will be con-
tent to have less noisy celebrations,
and there will be many who are going
to trust to providence to do the right
thing and they will be peacefully
Struck.
The Elks will have their usual New
Years eve frolic and watch party. In
sonny OF the churches watch parties
| are planned for. and there will be q
hummer of private Publications.
New Years day in Keokuk will be
practically a holiday. There will be
little business done during the day.
, The court house offices probably will
be closed, and many of the stores will
close up, at least in the afternoon and
evening.
A number OF family reunions and
dinner parties are planned for tomor-
row throughout the city. The Keokuk
club will keep open house, having de-
cided to make this annual custom, and
with some of the people there will be
the revival Of the old custom OF calls.
1915 Has Been Prosperous.
The year 1915 has been prosper
Gus one for Keokuk, in the main. The
city has had an industrial awakening,
which 1t is gratifying to consider.
Two big smelling plants, one tire
plant and big refrigerator plant are
some Of the industries which are To-
eating here as result Of the city's
campaign for new industries, carried
on by the Industrial association.
The city fire department was par
TALLY motorized during the year which
passes tonight, and the work of re-
construction of the Keokuk and Ham
i1ton bridge has been started and Is
being pushed through to completion.
Negotiations between the city and the
industrial association and various
property owners virtually insure a
high bridge for Keokuk.
1916 Is Leap Year.
Some of Keokuk's eligible bache-
lors are planning to go with their fin
gers crossed most of the time this
coming year, for 1915 will be leap
year. The feminine privilege OF
choosing mate may De exercised at
this time, and Of course it would take
a very ungal1ant man to refuse the
fair maid who casts her hand and
heart at his feet.
All of the factories that wish to.
may propose to Keokuk and they may
rest assured that there will be no
turn downs, If their eligibility papers
are sufficient Papa Industrial asso-
citation will become quite match
maker in the new year II some of the
good prospects on hand materialize,
and the question is properly popped.
