Apropos of the oil fever at

Last Saturday night an auto truck
load of irrigators from Keokuk, came
to Nauvoo and remained until about
10 o'clock slowing away much of the
joyful stuff on sale here. When they
returned home and going through the
first ward to strike the boulevard,
they concluded to let residents know
that they came to this city and were
going home again, by whooping and
yelling. They may come again soon

Smoking Characteristic kind you
buy for 10 and Is cents a box-is
rather an expensive luxury If you fig
ure it up as a banker would compute
interest. A cigarette is finished in
about a minute and the investment
represents the interest for that length

on $64S ,O00-but probably you never
think OF that. There are any number

during the year more than 5000. I'm
fortunately in many cases such luz
uries are INDUCED in by those who
are least able to afford them.

soon after the Iowa prohib law went
into effect and was in Gods free
country where the blooming booze"
can be had for the price and the ask
