interest in some Of the facts about
taxes in Keokuk and with consider
able surprise as to his county division
proposition. When he came to the
point Of placing his division PROPOSE
ton into practical working order, he
would find that the constitution Of
Iowa would very materially interfere,
to such an extent that the PROPOSE
ton would have to be abandoned.
Probably a majority OF the people
of Lee county would welcome a
remedy to relieve the county of the
burdens and annoyances, which a d.
vision Of the county would probably
have a tendency to relieve, but they
would like some more practical way
to get at it than to attempt to divide
the county with the constitutional i'm
pediments in the way. ''The Last

Stopped Again on Their
Wanderlngs About
the Country.
JUST LEFT FIT. MADISON
Boys Refuse to Stay at Htome-Have
Been Held at ST. Charles, Mo-,
and Other
Places.

Lawrence Martin and Earl East
man, aged ~ and IA, respectively,
are two Keokuk boys who do not
like to stay at home. Their esca-
pades have been related several times
recently in the newspapers. They
are now being held in Burlington,
having been taken to the police sta
by railroad authorities. Burlington is
worrying over what to do with the
boys.
They first left Keokuk about five
weeks ago. The local police authori-
ties shortly afterwards were notified
that the boys we're being held in ST.
Charles, Mo-, and it was asked what
disposition was to be made Of them.
The parents here were questioned.
Turn them loose and they will come
home" was the reply.
The boys were turned loose in St.
Charles, but did not come home. The
next that was heard from them was
that they were in the house of refuge
in st. Louis. From that city they did
come home, but a couple Of weeks
ago started out again and were
picked up In Fort Madison
Released from there they evidently
made their way to Burlington by

have good homes here and their par
ents are ready to receive them back,
but they seem to prefer to wander
around the country.
This mornings Burlington Hawk
Eye has the following about the
boys:
b One of the Burlington railroad spe-
cial agents at Burlington brought two
runaway boys to the police station
yesterday morning. The boys HON es
are in Keokuk and the lads are Law
renee Martin and Earl Eastman, aged
II and ID, respectively. Lawrence
Martin lives at 700 c street in Keo-
kuk. and the Eastman lad at 422
South First street.
About five weeks ago these same
two boys ran away from home, going
to st. Louis where they stayed for
several days. Later they ran away
to Fl. Madison, were apprehended and
sent back to their homes. Toady they
are in Burlington.
Burlington police will probably
have to turn them loose to get along
as best they can on their own re-
sources. The youngsters are not
vicious but need training. It Is up to
Lee county to take charge Of them
If their families cannot do so.

sometimes Called Eczema-Removed
by Hoods SarsaparilIa.

Salt rheum is one Of the worst and
unfortunately one Of the most COM
mon Of all diseases. How it reddens
the skin, itches, oozes, dries and
scales, and then does this all over
again! Sometimes it covers the
whole body with intiamed, burning
patches and causes intense suffering,
which is commonly worse at night.
Local application may do some
good, but they cannot permanently re-
lieve. The disease will continue to
annoy. pain and perhaps agonize, I'M
til the blood has been purified and the
general health improved.

remedy. 1t has given perfect salts

Brand New Piece of Electrical Ma
chinery is Being Constructed In
Lafayette for Local
Company.
ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND
II Is Estimated That it viii Take
Six Months to Construct
This, Engineers
Say.

A meter which will measure the
flow of electricity from the Keokuk
power plant is being manufactured in
Lafayette, Ind. The meter will be
the only one Of it's kind ever con-
structed. The meter, it is understood,
will be of entirely new design, and
the construction Of this appliance will
be a feather in the cap Of the engi-
neers who have undertaken the work.
The Lafayette Evening Courier
prints the following concerning the
construction Of the big me Ell:
A meter which will be the only one
of it's kind in existence and will re-
cord the flow of electricity from the
largest power plant in the world is
to be designed by J. Walter Esterline
and Donald Angus, both former resi-
dents of this locality. The meter is
for use at the power plant of the
Mississippi River Power company at
Keokuk, Ia, and it will take about
six months to construct. The maxi
mum capacity of the plant is 100000
horse power and this energy is gen
Grated by the entire flow of the river
at that point.
Mr.. Esterline was formerly mana
ger OIL inc ESleTllHc pant Oh Ine west
side of the river and Mr.. Angus was
associated with him. Both men are
known in the world Of electricity and
both are recognized as contributors
to the field of practical mechanics
The construction of the meter for
the Keokuk plant will mark step
on the ladder Of electrical progress
and will be an achievement Of which
MANY electrical engineers of DrOn1.
hence would be proud.

were called out apparently had pass

In general the compliments. whose

GERMAN DISCOVERS HOW
TO MANUFACTURE PAPER
FROM COTTON STALKS

BERLIN. Ger.-The Royal material
testing office at Gross-Lichterfelde, a
suburb of Berlin, announces the inter
esting discovery that paper can be
manufactured from cotton stalks. The
discovery is not considered Of much
Importance for Germany which pro-
duces no cotton but Is pointed to as
of vast importance to. the United
States, the greatest producers of
cotton in the world, because of the
shortage of paper in that country.
NEW YORK, n. Y.-Lincoln B. Pal
mer, manager of the American News
paper Publishers Association. said
recently that although private and
governmental laboratories had been
seeking for years to find suitable
substitute for wood pulp in the manu-
facture of paper, nothing had as yet
been produced that would stand the
test
IF the Germans have solved the
problem" he said, they will have
rendered the United States a valuable
service, and it ought to bring millions
to the inventor of the process. The
discovery if true, should prove boon
TO the paper manufacturing industry
in this country.
