Objection on part Of q Few Causes
Celebration Committee to Drop
Idea and to Work on
Other Lines.
GET BETTER LOCATION
Building Will be Wrecked at Once
and Committee Is Working on
New Plans for Housing Big
Fall Carnival.

The plan to use the old tabernacle
as coliseum for Keokuk's big fall
celebration had to be abandoned be-
cause of objections made by certain
people who have business interests on
upper Main street near the site Of the
tabernacle. Because of these objc-
tions, the committee decided to let
the plan drop and to maze other plans.
The celebration will not have to
be given up because Of the action of a
few, that is certain, as the celebration
committee has already begun to plan
for different arrangements. While 1t
was felt that the coliseum was in a
good place and was entirely suitable
for the sort of thing the committee in
tended to use it for, still the members
did not feel justified in risking the
money of the league in a possible in
junction action.
The response which the celebration
committee was given in it's soliciting
for funds showed that the majority of
the merchants of the city were very
much in favor of the celebration idea.
The coliseum plan was heartily in
dorsed by the league members, and it
was little surprising to find a few
who did not share this same feeling.
In fact, their attitude was unlocked
for, by the committee members.
The tabernacle will be wrecked at
once, 1t is understood. The first loads
of lumber will be taken away from
