Wind During the
Night.

Trees Were Overturned and Tern
porary Railing Was Wrecked
at Bridge-River is Ris-
ing Again.

Keokuk was visited by storm a
little after seven o'clock last night
that had the earmarks of a small
sized hurricane. The wind which
blew from the south was accom-
panied by a display of electricity and
the cannonading of thunder was
heavy for few minutes.
The wind storm did some minor
damage in the way of breaking off
tree limbs and branches and smash
ing windows in business houses and
private dwellings. Several Of the
stores down town experienced trouble
with cracked and shattered glass, and
window lights were blown out of
many residences.
A temporary railing along the
bridge was blown over, but no seri-
GUS damage was reported here. The
power company suffered practically
no damage in the storm.
A later storm broke shortly after
ten O'Clock This was accompanied
by more wind. but not as severe as
that of the earlier storm. The total
precipitation recorded by the weather
bureau instruments was 80.

coal, when it burns. leaves behind a

are told to drink every morning upon

A quarter pound OF limestone phos

that just as soap and hot water
