Defendant In Superior Court Says
Officers Were Mistaken In
Arrest for Intoxi-
cation.
LATER CHANGED MIND
Floyd BennIng Arrested and Sen
fenced for Theft Committed Last
January-Other Court
Cases.

The question Of the difference be
tween the odor of liquor and a bro
mide came up in Judge McNamara's
court yesterday afternoon during the
trial of Charles Malone, charged with
intoxication.
Officers who arrested Malone testi
fed that his actions were those of a
man under the influence Of liquor
and that Malone's breath also
smelled Of liquor. The defendant.
however, claimed that he had only
taken a bromide.
At first Malone asked for continu-
ence of the case on the grounds that
he had not arranged for the presence
of his witnesses, and also for a
change of venue because he had not
secured the services Of an attorney.
However, the testimony of the Off
GERS who had made the arrest was ad-
mitted and then a continuance was
granted until the defendant could pro-
duce his witnesses. But when Ma
lone got back to the police station he
told Chief Hennemann that he de-
sired to change his plea to one Of gull
ty, and in lieu of g. thirty day SEN
tence, decided to leave town, which
he did last night at 1885 o'clock,
bound for Albert Lee, Minnesota.
Two Are Sentenced.
Floyd Bennington. who was ar
rested yesterday, pleaded guilty to
the theft of three punches OF laths
from the Keokuk Lumber company
last January and was sentenced to
thirty days in the county Jail. John
Stack pleaded guilty to 1ntoxication
and was given like sentence.
Fined for Assault.
Litigation between William A.
Boone and P. c. Roberts was settled
in the district court here yesterday,
but Boone Is said to have threatened
to punch Roberts after they had lett
court. He made the threat good yes
terday afternoon when Roberts was
ticket at the union de-
pot to return home. Officer Brennan

Boone under arrest He was fined

court.

| said city. on which a part of the
present street car tracks Of this com
pany are situated, has been ordered
paved with brick laid on q concrAte
foundation, the contract for which
paving has already been let by said
city; and,
Whereas, the said Keokuk Electric
company, Immediately after having
notice that said street would be
paved, as aforesaid, placed an order
for the type of steel rails required to
be laid in said pavement, but has
been unable to procure the said rails,
or any part thereof, and has, after a
thorough investigation. ascertained
that 1t will be Impossible to secure
such rails at this time on account Of
the unprecedented demands on the
steel companies Of the country and
that such rails cannot be obtained
earlier than some time in the year
1918; and,
Whereas, the said proceeding with
reference to the said street pavement
has been SO far completed that an
assessment has already been made
against the Keokuk Electric COM
pany for it's proportion Of said paw
ing, which assessment is now an obi
CATION of the said Keoknk Electric
company and must be paid regardless
of whether its said street car tracks

present street car tracks on Th1r-

Whereas, that part OF said streets
last mentioned are so paved at pres
emit that suitable steel rails therefor
can be procured without delay.
Now therefore. it seems to be adj
visable and desirable that the Keo-

sible, lay down rails and construct a

Can Get Ordinary Rails.

cure the kind Of rails necessary to
be laid on brick street, but will be
able to obtain the ordinary type OF
rail for the relaying Of it's track on
the new route Indicated"
Mr.. Ingle believes that the old line,
running as it does out Fourth street,
is now obsolete. 1t was constructed
when the lower part of town was the
only section developed. Persons from
the park district must now travel
around this out of the way bend to
get to town. 1t is believed that a. line
running out Eighth street to Fulton
and out Fulton to Thirteenth will pro-
vide more efficient service for the
city.
If the plan goes through, the whole
car system will be changed. 1t is the
plan to make a through route from
the park to West Keokuk with the
switch at some place down town. The
cemetery car would run to the Hotel
Iowa and the depot car come up to
Sixth and Main streets, the interur-
ban running as 1t is at present.
The plan has been submitted to
Franklin street property owners and
others concerned and the city will not
pass on the petition for few days
yet. II 1t goes through, the Franklin
street track will be used until the
new line is completed. Work could
start Immediately on the paving of
Franklin street.

. RETURN 10 THE SIMPLE LIFE.

"To return to the simple life is a
proposition that will be welcomed by
everybody that is interested in good
health" says the State Board of
Health. Continuing it sermonizes thus:
s"Too long have we been living on, the
fat of the land and feasting out of
the flesh pots with indigestion, consti-
patton and other stomach troubles as
the consequence, and if it takes war or
the high prices of food to breka u saway
from these things and restore us to the
things that are right and good for us,
then these. are not unmitigated evils"
The movement to return to nature
and simple life is the solution offered
to the high cost of living problem but
health experts an d~enthusiasts have
found it to be the only way of right
living or healthful living known today.
They have adopted it as a safe road
TO health. They say that a return to
nature means good digestion, sound
sleep, a clear head, a placid mind, o n
tentment and joy te be alive,
But first they say It means getting
close to ~nature-livfng out of doors
as much as possible by working, play
ing and resting in the open air and
above all by sleeping in the open air.
Outdoor sleeping is the best life pre-
server known" 1t means also going
to the garden and orchard for your
bill of fare-tomatoes, lettuce, celery,
spinach, turnips, beans, corn, peas,
melons, berries, apples, peaches ,p1ums
and all other fruits and green stuffs
untouched by fire.
The real value of adopting the sim
pie life, according to the health ex-
perts, Vlies in the pleasure we find in
living it. To do it grudgingly or with
out knowing and approaching it's bene-
fits we bot0h it and fail, but to love
health more than appetite and seek it,
is to have health, comfort, efficiency
and a long life. "Start the simple life
begin it today" is the motto Of this
health movement. ~tE A~

TODAY singing of Beulah land; tomor,

! shadows, wondering ii the sun viii
| ever shine any more
But the consideration of this uni
| versal policy brings little comfort un-
less we consider that it is a part OF
the plan OF God; that it is He who
hath set the one over against the otA-
err" With this later thought one
comes to feel that this arrangement
must be best, since it is that OF asW1se
and merciful God. And here again
life is its own Bible; for it emphasizes
over and over the lesson that it axes
prosperity and adversely together to
make the highest character. The
splendor of MONDAY is good for a.
while, but who could live in the glare
of it's perpetual search-light? 1t re-
uuires both light and darkness to
produce the holy twilight. You can

Ell ease. FOr sucn a lie one can x
pect at pest little pleasure, no dlsIlnc-
LlOn, no achievement; mere existence.
But stop and name over the long Ilst
of men and Women MADE great by
hardships. A few years ago even
their nearest nelgnbOrS, the Germans.
looked upon the French nation as a
saudy, t1lppant race, lovers OF pleasure
and nothing more. But the Germans
an dthe whole world have learned
something. Two years OF grim war
ave created and revealed a nation or
heroes.
1t will help us also to remember
this same principle OF compensation
runs through the life Of naIlons In
our own, for example. First
came the hardships of the wilderness
and the perils of .savages; then some
vars of quiet comfort; then a a
of oppression and bloody revolution;
then expansion and unreasonable
prosperity, and voIuptuous ease; and
now the stern discipline of the battle.
But remembering her proVident1al
birth and the hand that has guarded
he rthus far, we dare to believe that
she will emerge from Chi strial sObered
and strengthened, with a higher eVal-
uation of manhood and a clearer vi
sion of God.
Through the moral wrld too there

But close behind him treads a larger
and fairer form, named Grace, For

and finally In the plan of God there
to be also a balancing of worlds.
Our own earth is scanned over with
graves, while the air is full of fare
wells to the dying and meanings for
the dead. But owe against this world
is heaven. far over-balancing all the
ills of earth. And He showed me a
river of water of life, clear as
crystal, proceeding out of the throne
of God and of the Lamb. In the midst
of the street of it and On either side of
the river was there the Tree of Life,
bare twelve manner of fruits;
and the leaves of the tree were for the
healing of the nations"
