MAYOR LOTION
TO INTRODUCE
Mr.. :. Z. Cooper, Who VIII Deliver a
Lecture This Evening at the
Grand Opera House, to
Autoists.
KNIGHT sLEEvE-vALvE
Lecture Promises to Afford Unusual
Interest to the Automobile Own
ers Of keokule and
Vicinity.

Mayor Lotion is to introduce Mr. j.
H. Cooper to the audience at the
Grand opera house this evening, where
Mr.. Cooper will lecture on the knight
sleeve-valve motor This was an
nounced yesterday by the Overland
Irwin Co., under whose auspices Keo-
kuk motor car owners are to witness
the motion picture demonstration of
the knight engine.
'In every city throughout the country
where the lecture has been given,
said Mr.. G. A. McLoney, vice-president
of the Overland-Irwin Co., "the speak
er has been introduced by a prominent
public official, and Mayor Lotion has
consented to represent Keokuk in this
respect.
Elaborate arrangements are being
made for the entertainment of the out
of town visitors who will come here
to attend the lecture. Every dealer
in the territory controlled by the
Overland-Irwin Co.. has accepted our
invitation to participate in the gath
ering and most of them will bring
friends.
Il received telegram from Mr..
Cooper yesterday in which he said
that he had made some novel addi-
tons to the film he used in his lecture.
He added that he is very anxious to
secure the Judgment of Keokuk motor
lists. I really believe that this lecture
makes clear more about the automo-
bile motor than the average owner
understands. For instance, MI.
Cooper explains what causes pre-igni-
ton from carbon a subject that the
average man discusses every day, but
does not really understand. This fea-
ture alone will, believe prompt many
motor car owners to attend"
Mucn interest has been aroused by
the announcement, that following the
formal lecture a meeting will be held
on the stage for those who desire to
ask further questions Of Mr.. Cooper.
These questions will supplement those
which will be asked of the speaker
slips are to be distributed among the
audience. Mr.. Cooper told Mr.. Nc
Loney this morning that he was much
pleased with the idea of an informal
gathering on the stage of the theatre.
and he said that he would be glad to
go into features Of the motor with
owners of other cars or dealers for
other makes of cars.
While applications for tickets to
this evenings performance have lit
orally swamped the Overland-Irwin
Co, Mr. G. A. McLoney announced
that he is holding block Of fifty seats
for automobile owners who have been
out of the city during the last few
days. These tickets will be reserved
for distribution late, this afternoon.
and a few will be held up at the box
office until 1880 o'clock this evening.

Cigarette, DELAYED Circus.

Springfield Leader, Oct. 13.-How
the habit of cigarette smoking among
employees of the Hagenback-Wa
circus delayed the arrival Of the saw
dust aggregation at Fayetteville.
Ark, Wednesday for more than two
hours, was related by employees of
the circus in Springfield last night.
Fayetteville being the home Of the
University of Arkansas, it is contrary
to a city ordnance to smoke or take
cigarettes into. the town. With the
big show are people from all over
the world. OF these the Turks, Japs,
Hindus AMI Egyptians are inveterate
cigarette smokers. They have been
in thehabit Of carrying supply with
them in the sleeping cars.
Acting on the advice of city Off
Gals, Edward Ballard and r. NJ. Har-
vey, the circus managers, had the
last section Of the circus trains bear
ing the performers halted at the
Fayetteville line. The foreigners and
others with the show were instructed
to destroy their cigarettes.
The orientals fatty refused and de-
clared war. They even went so far
as to appoint sentinels armed with
huge swords and guns to guard what
they called their sacred property"
For a while the air was blue with
oriental cuss words, mutterings and
cigarette smoke. Interpreters were
put to work on the people from the
far east and they succeeded in per
suading them to arbitrate. Finally
they yielded and they gave their
cigarettes to the mail man with the
circus to keep until after their de.
parture from Fayetteville.
The orientals claimed that cigar
cite smoking is part of their lives
and to deprive them totally would
injure their health.

Pure Blood Makes
Healthy People

Hoods Sarsaparilla surely and eff
fectively removes scrofula, boils and
other blood diseases because 1t drives
out OF the blood all the humors that
cause these diseases. They cannot
be successfully treated in any other
way. External applications for their
have proven almost useless,
because they cannot drive out the
impurities that are in the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
rich blood, perfects the digestion, and
builds up the whole system. The skin
becomes smooth clean and healthy.
This great blood remedy has stood
the test Of forty years. Insist on hav-
ing Hoods, for nothing else acts like
it. There is no real substitute. Get
it today. Sold by all druggists.
