few months, owing to better crops
and management, conditions in that
part of Poland have improved.

mentions that, since war began, the
banks of the city of New York have
increased their loans and investments
by about billion and quarter dol

moving in the same direction. From
May. 1915 to May, 1915, national
banks increased their deposits by two

II you want to see the iveliest town
In Hancock county,, come to NauvoO
any evening this week. It will make
q stranger believe that this is a
metropolitan city OF some magnitude.
We notice the absence Of leading
and representative citizens Of Keo-
kuk, Hamilton and other places at
Nauvoo's chautauQua. When the
neighbOring towns have anything
going on Nauvoo people always re-
spond In large numbers AMI this town
should be treated likewise.
Over one hundred automobiles were
curbed along our business section and
side streets last Wednesday evening
and 1t is fine sight to see them
leave Nauvoo after the chautauQua
closes for the night.
The ladies In Nauvoo and vicinity
are taking great interest in the do
nestle science meetings that are
conducted in the chautauQua tent
every morning, with Miss Under as
lecturer and demonstration.
This Friday afternoon the Civic
league ladies announced the names
Of the prize winners in the garden
contest for school children, but too
late to publish the names IN this
issue.
Saturday and Sunday will probably
be the banner days Of Nauvoo's
second annual chautauQua in point
Of attendance. It Is now demonstrat-
ed that a chautauqua In Nauvoo Is a
f1ne thing and certainly draws the
crowds.
Everybody Is pleased with the
chautauqua this year and the ex-
treme hot weather does not curtail
the attendance in particular, and
people don't seem to care whether
crops need rain or not and are bound
to enjoy themselves. ST

ing az result Of the Investigations
OF Special Detectives Harry Holland
and Reuben Lewis, working under
the direction Of Charles n. Henne-
mann, chief Of police, and Fred Hill
pert, commissioner. of public safety,
was taking rest today.
Probably there will be no more
legal steps taken in the matter until
the grand jury meets next fall. A
few OF the men now under charge Of
violating the prohibitory law, are ex-
pected to waive their preliminary
hearings and be automatically bound
over to await the action OF the grand
jury, in the hope that their bond
might be slightly decreased.
The fate of Clement Farrell and c.
B. Wallace has thrown scare into
the camp of the men now under
bonds to the superior court, but who
have not yet had their hearings.
When the men were arrested last

ened. But now their attitude has
changed.

against them, have shown a remark
able ability to tell a damning story
on the witness stand without getting
confused by the tricky cross examin-
ing of clever lawyers. And all the
alibis that can be offered don't seem
to weigh very much in tho scales of
Justice when balanced against the
stories Of Holland and Lewis.
Indeed, with the exception Of two
men, lawyers state it as their opinion
that not one Of the men has pos
sible chance to escape Indictment by
the fall grand jury, and that convic-
tons all are very probable. It seems
probable that not one OF the men will
ask a preliminary hearing. but all
will be glad to let matters rest as
they are. until the grand Jury meets.
When Wilhat, Killian and Agnew,
and then Simonds and Williams were
arrested a few weeks ago, the men
engaged In bootlegging merely
smiled. The detectives would soon
collapse in court, they thought. And
they were right. With the exception
of Wilbat, who waived his prelimi-
nary, Williams, who was held to the
grand jury at his prelim mary a week
ago, and Simonds who has not yet
had his hearing, all the men escaped.
But the city's witnesses this time
are not cringing negroes, easily
frightened by a few sharp words from
a clever attorney. These men are Of
very different mould and their stories
bear weight with the court, and the
alleged criminals find that the tolls
of justice are much more dangerous
than had been supposed.
There Is no eagerness for prelimi-
nary hearings now on the part Of
most OF the men. Meanwhile, the
day when the grand jury convenes
draws nearer daily.

hill bombarded into brownish mass
|of soil. Through glasses the German
lines near Froid Terre and Thiau-
mont were dimly discernible, marked
more plainly by the line Of exploding
shrapnel in the sky than on the earth.
Later we visited the Argonne forest.
II the earth had been robbed Of all
living things for ten miles on either
side OF the trenches, behind the lines,
the activity makes up for 1t. Soldiers
go to and from the trenches in auto
mobile transports. Bodies Of re-
Icruits maneuver on hillsides, being
schooled In hand grenade and other
attacks from old line trenches, cap
tured long ago. Little Serbian ponies,
burdened under machine guns, scurry
back and forth. French women and
children working in the fields or
playing in the streets are everywhere
seen. Here and there soldiers are
burying ammunition or building store
houses. Enormous supplies of grain
and foodstuffs are being stacked in
tenn porary shelters.
It may be said that the verdun OPP
erations have gene through two
stages; first, everything above the
ground in front of the trenches was
swept away; second, German ad-
vances carried the strongest points
held by the French.

MAY CAUSE A HITCH

Green Bay is lake! After years
of street corner and justice court dis
cussion as to whether the waters
were a part of the river, a bay or
slough, it develops that it is none
of these, but lake, and has been q
lake since the place was first sur
veyed by government engineers.
Further than that its ownership vests
absolutely in the state of Iowa, or
in other words Green Bay is abso-
lutely public place, for public use
and enjoyment, conditional only upon
the game and other legal regulations.
r. w. Clyde Of Sioux City, one of
the five civil engineers appointed to
act under the direction Of the state
highway commission, was in Fort
Madison yesterday to commence q
survey Of the bay in connection with
the work OF these Ave engineers,
whose report upon state owned lakes
is to be presented to the legislature
at its next session. Engineer Clyde
was somewhat surprised to find that
the lake" he came to investigate
was about to form a major portion
of giant drainage district scheme,
and under those existing conditions
decided that the usual survey and
attendant work would be waste OF
time and money: he will CLEAN such
inform alton as he needs to prepare q
comprehensive report from the maps
and data on file at the court house
and do without the actual survey
being made Of other state lakes.
