The Donnellson Review makes
the following comment about the
painting Of the Keokuk court house:
The exterior OF the court house at
Keokuk is now being painted. Other
improvements are also being made
on the building. All of which would
lead us to believe that Keokuk had
abandoned the idea of moving the
court house away from that city.
That the days of the old Missis-
sippi river steamer are gone is re-
futed by the captains of the Streck
fus line boats and the local agent for
that line Of steam ers, who assert that
passenger traffic on their steamers is
heavier this season, both out Of Keo-
kuk and every other city, than at any
time in the past. The 1915 season is
the first time that the Streckfus
people have featured their passenger
service. AS result of extensive adj
vertising their passenger trade has
assumed large proportions. A rail
and water trip which has proven
popular and which several Keokuk
people have taken, is to ST. Paul and
return.
From inspection made at Keokuk
by Inspector w. d. Harris of the
government bureau, a number of
prosecutions of Missouri egg dealers
will be made. Forty-three cases Of
eggs inspected at Keokuk We're found
to contain bad eggs. The STATE claims
that Missouri producers and dealers
have been shipping eggs into Iowa
without any regard to the pure food
laws, which require the cutting out
of all bad eggs before shipment They
ship here, the food department says,
because Iowa is paying better prices
for eggs than other points and Iowa
can afford to do this because her
eggs, shipped elsewhere, have repu-
tation fer being well selected and
free of bad eggs. The state expects
to work around all edges of Iowa in
cooperation with the government in
spector in the hope Of stopping this
| shipping in of uncandled eggs. The
government will prosecute all viola
lions of the law.

sion of the Hamilton, ILL.,, chautauqua

The appearance of the warden always
guarantees something good and the

llege given to man than that of doing
good to our fellow men. One of the
leaders in this work is j. G. Sanders,
warden of the Fort Madison peniten-
tiary, who. by his striking reforms in
that institution, has become a ma
tional figure. His business is to de.
J.: velop manhood among those sent him
as prisoners, and right wei he Is fill
ing his mission. His lecture will be
one of real human interes. and every
| chautau0ua patron should hear it"
