SMYRNA AND THE MUFFLER.

From the Smyrna Times.
Smyrna Town Council is coming in
for much praise for their action in
passing an ordinance against the use
Of the motor vehicle "muffler cut
out" This "plaything" in the handy
OF young drivers and those who like
10 be heard as they go up and down
the streets, has long been an an
noyance to the public. Members Of
Council have been importuned to take
action for sometime but it was not
until the last meeting, when Council
man Hudson took the initiative, that
the ordinance was finally offered and
passed. Now that this needed relief
has been provided for let us hope the
officers will enforce it to the letter.
A few fines will break the nuisance

SHOES TO COST MORE.

WASHINGTON. Oct. IAN increase
of 81 a pair in the retail price of shoes
was predicted at a meeting of the
Washington Shoe Retailers Associa-
ton. The cutting off Of the Russian
leather supply by the war was given
as the reason.
A dispatch from Russia to the State
Department was read by Arthur Burt,
president Of the association, in which
it was said 25,O0O,OO0 hides now are
tied up in Russia.
Mr. Burt said the railroads of Rus
STA are so congested handling wal
munitions and supplies that it is vir'
tually impossible to get the hides
transported from the interior.

+. ]. ADAM DIES
THIS MORNING.
Deeedent Had Lived In keokuk Forty
seven Years, Coming Here
When But Year
Old.
HE WAS BORN IN QUINCY
Was Educated Here and Had Many
Friends -Worked In Shoe Fac
tory Twenty-eIsht Years-
III q Year.

Fred ]. Adam, 4S years old, died
this morning at $3.50 at the family
home, 1902 Bank street. Death was
due to stomach trouble, with which
the decedent had been troubled for
the past year.
Mr. Adam has lived in Keokuk for
forty-seven years, coming to this city
with his parents when but year
old. Ever since, this had been his
home. Here he was educated, and
many friends were made by him dur
ing his long life here. For twenty-six
years he worked in the employ of the
Huiskamp shoe factory, where he
was known az a careful and efficient
workman, and respected by his en-
ployers. He was member of st.
Mary's church and of the Woodman
lodge.
During his last illness, he never
complained, although it was, a hard
thing for man who had always been
active, to be restrained by disease.
Since February he had been confined
to his bed, but even this did not
cause him to murmur.
The decedent was born In Quincy,
H., July 25. 1868, the son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Adam. A year later
his parents moved to Keokuk, which
has been before stated, was his life
long home. April IL, 1894, he mar
ried Mary Mahoney, popular young
woman of this city. Mrs. Adam
survives her husband.
BY the marriage were born four
children, Louis Adam, Carl Adam
Edward Adam and Marie Adam, all
of Keokuk. Other surviving relatives
are his father Henry Adam OF Keo-
kuk: four brothers, o. H. Adam. Ed
ward Adam and George G. Adam. all
of Keokuk: and Charles G. Adam OF
BURLINGTON; and two sisters, Mrs. A..

Millions Of Mormon and Willow
Flies Infest City and
the Surrounding
Districts.
THE SKY WAS oBsCURED
Was Black With Insects Along the
Waters Edge Last Might
Other Cities Arc
Complaining.

The pest that some call the Nor
mon fly and others the willow ny,
continues its tenacious hold on the
city. There are two varieties OF the
bug. One is large wasp like insect
with a long body and long feelers;
the other small, buff colored gnat.
The former infests the river banks,
swamps and hollows while the later
are to be found UP in the city circling
about every light. Tho pests are
piled up half foot deep at points
about the city where they have
beaten out their short lives against
the lights.
Last evening the sky above the
river bank was black with the insects
and the river carried down literally
millions Of them. Luckily wooden
float Just above the Moose beach
served as protecting wall against
the river invasion of the dead insects
and the beach was comparatively
clear Of them.
The invasion has been the worst
in years. It is felt that the continued
hot weather has had much to do with
it. Every city light is an attraction
and the whole town has been bug
ridden for the past week. Other
cities along the river report condi-
lions Just as bad and even worse.
At Fort Madison 1t is necessary to
turn off the street lights at night.
A large number Of citizens have
begun to realize the value Of the in
sects as breakfast food for their
chickens. Thousands OF the insects
were gathered up last night by enter
prising poultry raisers for their fowls
and eaten this morning by the egg
producers. The bugs must be fresh,
however, 1t Is stated, or the chickens
will not eat them.
