About the Mace

Probably not che person in a thou
sand knows that when they see the
mace Of any city or corporation car
ried in procession it is carried upside
down. The glorified head, with its or
namented scrollwork, carving, gliding
and decoration, is really the bottom
and not the top OF the mace, for the
narrow end which used TO bear a spike
is really the top, and in England when
the king is present the mace is al
ways carried with the small end up
ward.
The base, which started out by be-
Ing only small knob, SO grew in
years, both in size and ornateness,
that 1t could not be carried comfort
ably in the hand. Hence the reason
for tho reversal was for greater ease;
the heavier end or bace was carried
over the shoulder, and In course Of
time came to be looked upon as the
top.

HOW PAPER BUSINESS
IS AFFECTED BY WAR

has been used extensively in manu-
featuring paper. Bleach is German
product, and it's scarcity may be real
lied when it is stated that it has in
creased 1000 percent In price within
the last two years. AS is generally
known, coioring material is so scarce
that the price has gone out of sight,
and some of the most common color
ing materials are 500 percent higher
than two years ago. The chemicals
used in coloring paper are products
Of Germany.
Another item in paper making that
one would not think has been affect
ed by the war is casein, a sort Of
skinned milk mixed with chemicals.
1t is used in putting enamel on the
higher grades of paper. The scarcity
of casein is due to the fact that the
SKINNED milk market has been cor
nered by cheese manufacturers who
supply cheese for the armies. The
price has increased 800 percent over
two years ago. Alum, rosin and other
materials used in making paper have
advanced greatly, and the wage
scales in the paper mills has been
increased 10 percent in six months.
The scarcity Of coloring materials
also is felt in the ink market. All
colors are scarce, and even black Is
becoming scarcer because automobile
tire manufactures are buying up all
carbon black, used in making black
ink. for use in the manufacture of
tires. Zinc oxide formerly was used
by the tire manufacturers, but owing
to the exorbitant price carbon black
was substituted.

the Trinity M. e. church, of which
the decedent was faithful member,
officiating. The body will be taken
to Olney, H., Mrs. Campbell's old

Later she moved to Olney, Ill. The
decedent's marriage to James Camp
bell occurred at the latter place in
November, 1911. They came to Keo-
kuk shortly after the marriage.
Besides the husband, son, Eugene
Stewart Campbell, aged one and one
half years, survives. The decedent's
father and mother reside In Olney

crs and three sisters.

CARTHAGE MURDER
TRIAL IS COMMENCED
Cam Pigg Is on Trial for Killing
William Knight of Augusta
Last January.

CARTHAGE, H., April 4.-When
court opened yesterday morning at 9
O'Clock, with Judge Grier presiding,
the case of Cam Pigg of Augusta,
charged with killing William knight
at Augusta was called for trial. The
witnesses, who were TO come in on

the examination of William Hill, the
first witness, was not concluded, and
was continued Immediately after
court opened for the afternoon SEES
sion.
Pigg is defended by Attorneys
Adolph Weinberg of Augusta, and
William H. Hartzen of Carthage;
State Attorney Clyde z. Johnson is
conducting the prosecution alone.
The opening statements of prosecu-
ton and defense were made this
morning.
Pigg it. will be remembered, shot
and killed William Knight in Augusta
the night of January %. he shoot
ing followed a quarrel over a check,
and Pigg claimed that Knight shot
first and he shot In self-defense. In
the excitement that followed the
shooting, Pigg escaped, but subse-
quently gave himself up to the sher-
IF of Hancock county, and has since
been in the Carthage jail. He is evil
IDENTITY determined TO make desper-
ate fight for his life. Pigg had lived
in Augusta only since last August,
and had been employed as farm
hand. He was born in Kentucky and
lived there until a few years ago,
coming to Augusta from Blooming
| ton.
Knight was an insurance solicitor
/ for the Knights and Ladies of
Security, and was not regular resi-
dent of Augusta.

The European war, through the
munition plants, has hit the paper
manufactures hard with the result
that paper has advanced in price
all the way from 80 percent to 10
percent since hostilities began in
1914 The average letterhead and
envelope quality used by commercial
houses has advanced IS percent. A
printing house that had been buying
paper of certain quality at cents
pound received notice this week
from it's paper house that future
orders would be s cents and delivery
could not be guaranteed within six
weeks.
Several reasons are given for this
increase in paper prices. Over 25
percent of the rags used in manufac-
turing paper formerly were imported
from France and Germany. OF course
these importations have been cut off
and the American product is bought
up by the Du Pont Powder company
and other powder companies at high
prices, for the manufacture of gun

K,BOSAUQUA, April A horrible
accident occurred near Bentonsport,
Van Buren, county, Sunday afternoon
at 1:3O when three boys were victims
of an explosion.
The Oldest of the ooys was thirteen
years old. Two of them were sons
of Mr.. Nichols, the other one son
OF Bert. Lazenby. They were out for
jaunt and entered an old unoccu-
pied house where they ran onto 2s
pound keg OF giant powder. The
curiosity of the boys induced them to
take out small can full and setting
it on top Of the large key, touching a

followed. The roof was blown off the
house and the floor was torn through
to the basement. One Of the Nichols
boys was thrown into the basement
This one died in, about five hours
The others are horribly burned, with
splinters and powder imbeded in their
flesh, and it is thought the sight OF
both are gone.
The parents hurried to the scene
and both Mr.. Nichols and Mr.. Laz
enjoy were burned about the arms and
hands in their effort to get the burn
ing clothes off the boys.
The Lazenby boy is a grandson of
Squire Lazenby of this place.
A Probable Horse Thief.
A man went through Keosauqua
early Sunday morning, leading bay
horse. He crossed the bridge here
and took the road leading out by Lon
Cox's. where he stopped and asked for
breakfast. While there he told two
different stories about where he was
from and this made the CoXs suspic-
ious. Hence they telephoned Sheriff
Haney of Keosauqua, about the man.
In the meantime Haney had re-
ceived word from the sheriff at Fair
field to be on the lookout for sus-
pected horse thief,
The man with the horse went on to
the next farm house, and asked the
way to Mt. Sterling and, hired the
farmer ito take him there, which he
did He loaded his horse and billed
it to FIT. Madison. 1t was an easy
task to follow him along, so the sher-
if at Fairfield was notified, who in
turn notified officials at Ft. Madison
to meet the man and place him under
arrest.

FAMILY DINNERS.
In England They Flourish Mainly at
Weddings and Funerals.

Weddings and Funerals.
Family dinners are rare In England.
They flourish only at weddings and at
funerals, especially at funerals. for
mankind collected enjoys woe. But
other occasions-birthdays and Christ
mas-are Stunned. Christmas especial
ly, in spite Of Dickens and Mr.. Ches-
terton, is not what it was, for its quon-
dam victims, having fewer children
and being less bound to their aunts'
apron strings, go away to the seaside
OF stay at home and hide.
That is general change, and many
modern factors, such as trayel, inter
course with strangers, emigration, have
shown the family that there are other
places than home, until some Of them
have begun to think that least or
west, homes worst"
There Is frigidity among the rela-
tions in the home, q disinclinat1on to
call ones mother-in-law mother" In
deed, relations-in-law are no longer rel
atives; the two families do not imme.
diately after the wedding call one an
other Kitty or Tom. The acquired
family is merely a subfamily, and Of
ten the grouping resembles that Of the
Montagues and the Capulets, If Romeo
