will be from $1.25 to $1.15 and In

the officials Of the Keokuk Electric
company have been considering. and
which will affect thousands OF con.
sumers in the city.
Soon after the organization OF the
new council the question of rates for
both gas and electricity was taken up
and discussed at conferences with
the officials Of the public utilities.
The members Of the city council re-
ceived assurances that consideration
would be given the request for lower
rates and the above announcement OF
reductions comes promptly and will
be appreciated by all consumers.
At the present time the rate card
OF the Keokuk Electric company
shows that charge Of $1.35 per

time That it will be appreciated by
the consumers of both gas and cleo
tricity in the city, goes without say

The change will mean considerable
saving to both large and small users

lar with the local people.

 Mentioning the war offices reports and the appeal for financial aid ex- pected from the department shortly, Jefferson, though writing a century ago, might be describing conditions of today, when he says:
 Considering that our regular troops are employed for local purposes. and that the militia is our reliance for great and sudden emergencies, you will doubtless think this institution worth a review and give it those im- provements of which you find it sus- ceptible.

TEACHING AT FOUR
 SHILLINGS A WEEK,

Lincoln H. Kingsbury, who lives in Scitico, in the town of Enfield, has just had framed for adornment of his li- brary a number of historic manu- scripts that were preserved in the homestead of the Kingsbury family in Andover.
 One of the letters, dating back to 1703, is perhaps the best preserved paper of its age in the state. It is written on regular letter stationery to one of the friends of the Kings bury family, by MT. Benton, at that time prominent resident of Wethers- field, informing her of ''the sad and melancholy news that her brother had been drowned at sea, after fall ing from a masthead during storm, en route from the West Indies. Wethersfeld was at that time one of the leading ports in this part of the country. The letter was folded in, there being no envelopes in those days, and across the face of it, be- low the seal, was written the name of the man, who happened to be on a trip from Wethersfield to Andover at the time, by whose compliments the message was delivered.
 Some old Deeds.
 Other old treasures are a record for a deed of land near the old es- tate, dated 1732, and letter written from Bolton in 1725. John Hitch. an amiable chap, wrote a letter in 1726. There is one receipt signed by H. l.. Collyer, to show he had received from Captain Nathan Kingsbury five pounds on account" dated October 30. 1733.
