NEW SCHEDULE FOR
BLAIR STEAMBOATS,
Carnival City Packet Company Makes
Changes-Biack Hawk VIII Not
Run to keokuk in Future.

The Carnival City Packet company
OF Davenport, Iowa, is not to oper-
ate its boats on exactly the same
schedule as last year. This Is the
company Of which Captain Walter
Blair is the head. 1t owns and oper-
ates the steamers Helen Blair, Keo-
kuk and Black Hawk. Captain Blair
also operates the steamer Morning
Star, big side wheel boat. It is
owned by the Northern Steamboat
company, several men OF Davenport
being interested financially in both
lines.
Captain Blair has worked out a
schedule which will take care OF the
freight business in the short trade.
and also the tourist business from
Quincy to Davenport, without change.
Last year the Keokuk and Black
Hawk operated between Burlington
and Quincy, the Keokuk on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays and the
Black Hawk on Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Saturdays. The Keokuk doubled
back Saturday nights to make spec
iaI round trips to Keokuk Sundays.
So far as the Keokuk is concerned,
this schedule will remain just as 1t
is, the boat running in and out Of
here just as it has been doing since
the season opened.
Daily packet service in and out Of
Quincy is a thing Of the past, as the
Black Hawk will not run to Keokuk
at all in the future, or SO long as the
new schedule is in effect. The Black
Hawk. instead, will operate in the
acknowledgements trade In place
Iof the Helen Blair. Like the Keo-
kuk, 1t will make three round trips
Ie,o or, in, nd
excursion trips Sundays out of DAY.
export or Burlington.
The change in the service In which
Keokuk is concerned affects the
Helen Blair, flagship of the Blair
fleet and the finest small packet in
service on the upper Mississippi. The
Helen Blair is to come to keokuk
once a week, thus providing through
tourist service from Keokuk to Dav-
export and return, making an ideal
short summer vacation trip. As the
Helen Blair Is used chiefly for pas
senger traffic. it will no doubt offer
competition for the Streckfus boats.
The boat will leave Davenport
every Tuesday afternoon at $3.50
O'Clock. arriving at Quincy every
Thursday morning at 1920; leave
Quincy at $3.50 the same day and ar
rive in Davenport Saturday morning.
1t is also to make another trip each
week, but only to Keokuk and back.
On this trip the Blair will leave Dav-
export at $3.50 Saturday afternoon,
arriving at Keokuk at / o'clock Sun
day afternoon. On the return trip 1t
will leave Keokuk at o'clock Sun
day and arrive at Davenport at II
o'clock Monday night
This new schedule will go into ef-
feet Tuesday, May so. The Morning
Star will operate in the trade be-
tween Davenport and ST. Paul during
the summer. The Keokuk will con-
meet with the Black Hawk at Bur-
Iington, and the Black Hawk and
Helen Blair will connect with the
Morning Star at Davenport.

sCUTTLE POLICY THWARTED.

The presidents policy of scuttle in the Philip

One of his obsessions on entering office was that
the Filipinos were able to rule themselves more
wisely than we could rule them, and that ignor-
ant half breed Mexicans could establish as good

announced his determination to cast the islands

THE ESTES BUILDING.

| 1t all depends upon the age point Oh view.
Ask the average young person what is the
building of most historic interest In KeokulS,
and the answer, ninety nine times III a hundred,
will be, "Why, the high school building, OF
course' The vision Of youth is bounded by
the horizon of it's own world experience But
there are men and women living in Keokuk To-
day who, when asked the question, Will not
hesitate in answering, ''1,he Estes building.
And they will answer truly.
Work of construction of the Estes building
began on May 5, 1857, fifty nine years ago to
day. and the cornerstone was laid on June ~ OF
that year That was the boom time IN Keokuk,
when great many Of the brick buildings on
Main street and the levee were built, as were
the Unitarian and Westminster churches. Keo-
kuk was expected to become the big city OF
the west and citizens claimed population OF
100000 But things went to smash and the
booming, growing city Of Keokuk, as well as
every other city in the west, came to sudden
standstill. The eastern people who had been
moving here quit coming, the wealthy citizens
became bankrupt and thousand dollar lots were
hard to sell at ten dollars.
And then came the civil war. The Estes
house was built for hotel, but was first used
as a hospital for the Union soldiers. The IN
valid and wounded we're brought here from the
battlefields by boat, two hundred or more at
time During the first month OF Its use as
hospital 500 patients were received. The hrst
monthly report showed:

ToDAY's BIT OF VERSE
APRIL.

APRIL.
How can the day be dreary,
How can the heart be sad;
How can the soul be weary
When all the winds are glad
When every bud is leaping,
Triumphant, from its bed;
When March is spent and sleeping.
And Summers just ahead?
There's Joy among the flowers,
There's glee upon the hills;
There's laughter in the showers
That swell the leaping rills;
There's gladness in the hedges
Where happy songsters wed.
Exchanging loving pledges
With Summer just ahead.
There's Joy in every cluster
OF reeds upon the slope
Each morning puts new luster
Upon the shield Of hope!
Why should heart beat sadly,
An eye look out with dread.
When all the woods ring gladly
And Summers just ahead!

The shooting of the rebels will serve only to
