About Fireworks and

Few Preventative Steps Would Help
In Saving Property Loss
During Celebration
Tomorrow.

Look out for fires tomorrow!
This was the warning which Chief
Anderson of the Keokuk fire depart
ment gave this morning. The hot
weather of week has dried out ev-
erything, SO that conditions are ripe
for a bad conflagration should one
get started through careless handling
of fireworks and fire crackers.
People should exercise all due
care" the chief said this morning.
This hot weather has baked every
thing pretty dry around here, and a
burning bit Of paper from firecrack-
ers or fireworks might start a bad
fire on the roof of house or she'd"
1t would be good idea for people
to have their own garden hose at
tached, and in case of fire this could
be used to good advantage in a small
blaze, before the department arrives.
1t might also help in wetting down
the roof of an adjoining building to
one on fire. 1t is up to the people to
see that there is no carelessness with
firworks or firecrackers. in their
neighborhoods.
The sane Fourth where people go
into the alleys and behind barns to
shoot off firecrackers, gives the fire.
men more work than the old-fashioned
kind when everybody congregated in
the streets and shot off pack after

GREAT NEWSPAPERS
HAVE CONSOLIDATED
Munsey Discontinues the New York
Press and Combines the
Two Suns.

NEW YORK, July 3.-The New
York Evening Sun and the Morning
Sun appeared today under ownership
of Frank A. Munsey. Coincidentally,
the New York Press, owned by Mum
sey, was discontinued and absorbed
in the Morning Sun. The Evening
Sun which depends exclusively on
the United Press for its agency news,
is a financially successful paper, hav-
ing shown the highest percentage OF
gain Of any New York paper in the
last few years. Neither the Press,
with an Associated Press franchise,
nor the Morning Sun with its own
service, was self supporting. The COM
bination of the Suns prestige and the
Press circulation in the new morning
paper, was one of the chief objects
accomplished by Munsey.
The Evening Sun continues as here
tofore with the United Press service.

there has developed nothing, Com

pathetic letter written to Sheriff Edgar
April 80. In it Oviatt said that he
wanted the sheriff or aFdepnty to- go
with him to Vinton to visit his blind
daughter Hazel. Oviatt expressed the
wish that she be baptized and the con-
fidence that baptism would restore her
eyesight. This confidence, he wrote
was based on long research of the
bible and religious teachings, and II II
proved not to restore the child's eye

theory. The child has been blind since
she was stricken with spinal mem
