NAuvoo, ILL.,, JULY 20.
:
The Standard Oil people OF Keokuk
may put IN an. auto truck in the Maui
WOO trade. Their business in Nauvoo
is getting too large for teams to sup
ply the demand for oils In NauvOO
now.
It will now soon be August and we
guess everybody ts glad of It II It
will give us some nice showers and
cooler weather.
Tomorrow Is the last day OF Maui
, voo's chautauQua and some are glad
Of 1t while others are sorry.
A few choice lots remain In Maui
vuo's business portion and 1t Is . pity
that they can't be bought reasonable
and business buildings placed upon
them or the owners build Tor rent or
use themselves.
We are afraid the corn crop in. and
about NaMvoo Is badly damaged and
will be entirely killed II q rain does
not come quickly, within a day or two.
Nauvoo Is visited by agents of
various kinds there days. In other
words the WOODS about here 70 full
Of them,
Mrs. I'd. Datin who was badly bruis-
ed with numerous wounds about her
body last Wednesday night, when an
automobile struck the buggy IN which
her husband and herself were riding,
is getting along az well as can Oe
expected and will recover unless lock-
law sets In on account OF dirt and
particles OF ground rock penetrating
the wounds a& the time Of the acct-
dent. Tho Fort Madison parties who
wae rogpomfbse tor 10 accadents
are doing all IN their power to have
everything done for OR. I'D Da3in
pay al damages.
Men want but httle here below
nor want that little long # they pat

NAuvuo has certainly had It's share
OF entertainments this summer and
nearly All Of them we'll patronized.
Mayor Baxter addressed about one
thousand people at the chantauQua
pavilion In Nauvoo last Thursday
night for about nvO minutes and
urged all those people owning and
driving autonUfiles to read tho state
law on conducting and managing
machines and govern themselves &C
cordinxly. He admonished them to
foot the horns Of their cars when go
ing around and passing corners and
use every other care before any one
gets Eslled or badly crippled ON az
count Of their negligence He also
said that II the law was disregarded
hereafter and any ono caught In
fringing them would be severely dealt
with. His honor. the mayor. was
generously applauded after conclud-
ing his remarks. Tho above was
brought about by Nauvoo's mayor
meeting with an almost severe acct
dent a few days ago while driving his
own car. and another fellows car
nearly Dumping into him while he
was going around corner, and there
was no horn blowing and the other
fellow on the wrong side OF the street,
according to Nauvoo's chief execu-
tive. After the chautauqua session
vas concluded Thursday evening. this
column stood at tho main business
corner of our city and olrt of nearly
one hundred autos that passed. about
twenty called to toot their signal and
Some passed without their lamps
LIGHTED. Another important thing
that the chief official OF Nauvoo over
looked and forgot to make some re-
marks about while he was addressing
the people at the chautauQua, was
about the open exhansts OF the auocs
and how some try TO Guido ocners
with their hellish noise. Il there as
no state law prohibiting the autolsts
from pracHcing the above habae on
the suffering public, our council
g1pould get busy at once and pass an
ordinance prohibiting 1t like nearly
pu nfhar cities and towns In these
United states have done and are
doing.
The chicken thief that was captur-
ed at Frank Herbert,s farm about
three miles northeast OF Nanvoo,
Thursday morning near o'clock. and
brought to Nauvoo DOR preliminary
hearing was tried before Judge Lou
Hudson Thursday last, was bound
over to the grand jury In the sum OF
$500 bonds, which he was unable to
Surnash and was forthwith taken to
the county hub and placed In Jail to
await the action Of the grand jury,
which meets next October. This
fellow was caught "redhanded," but
his pal succeeded in avotiing capture.
They had an automobile and claimed
to hale from Rork Island, III. and evi-
IDENTIFY made business OF stealing
poultry about the country.
DESPITE the cynics NauvoO Is an up
right city. They told us when our
sister state Of Iowa went dry and
Nsuvoo remained wet that this city
would be the mecca Of all the trash
