There was not much business be-
fore the meeting of the city coucnil

reasonably expect settlement for his

pleted and at present there was no
way of computing the expense the
city would incur in completing the
work started by Mr. Thompson, no re-
port could be made at this time. The
clerk was instructed to obtain from
Messrs. Twombley & Henney report
showing what portion of the machin-
cry now in the plant, approved by the
engineers and accepted by the council
had not been paid for; also whether
the contractor had put extra work on
the plant not called for by the con-
tract.
1t was ordered that the president of
the council telegraph the De La
Vergne engine people to Immediately
send man to inspect the engine plac-
ed in the new plant by that company,
which is not at present operating sat
isfactorily.
A bill from ]. D. McCaskill for re-
pairs on water pipes claimed to have
been broken on his premises by the
city sanitary carts, was referred to
the sanitary committee.
All bills properly approved were
ordered paid.
An amendment to the impounding
ordinance was introduced and refer
red to the judiciary committee.
On motion it was ordered that the
city attorney prepare an amendment
to the license ordinance and present
same at next meeting.
The following ordinance was read

tee:

The Old Time Skipper.

Inmates of the wardrOom on an American man-of- war often allude to the captain as the old man or the skip per. The latter is not, as many sup pose. slang term, but a sound word, of excellent etymology and valuable as carrying within itself an interesting bit of commercial history. Skipper is simply shipper, and it comes down from time when every commander was as we'll part owner of vessel and cargo, or, literally, the shipper. There are still local shipyards along the At lantic coast, some of them the out growth of private yards, where the vessel owners" of years ago built their own ships to carry their own and their neighbours crops to market

5--Bona fide cut of $5 in the price, but sale ends absolute Iy when six are sold.

The above Is part Of a telegram
sent to Chairman G. s. Abel of the
Keokuk citizens committee to get
Keokuk boys home, by DR.. @. Walter
Barr, who was sen to Des Moines to
see what could be done. The rest Of
the telegram related to Transports
ton and the committee telephoned
DR.. Barr to close a contract with a
bus line In Des Moines to bring our
men to Ottumwa in high powered
buses, and from Ottumwa to Keokuk
the trip will be made by auto trucks
from Cameron's and Sinton's. The
days to the passes, judging from his
telegram. The first orders read for
a five day leave of absence.
This afternoon the committee went
out to raise the money for the pro-
ject. 1t will take $500 to get the
men from Des Moines to Ottumwa
and return from Ottumwa to Des
Moines after Christmas, and another
800 from Ottumwa to Keokuk and
return. With the. expenses of the
representative from Keokuk to pay
and all incidentals, the committee Is
going to ask for close to $500 or $3.50.
There will be fifty boys from Keo-
kuk to come home, according to DR..
Barr's message. They will leave
Friday morning at 1880 O'Clock. The
trucks from Keokuk will leave here
Thursday In order to be at Ottumwa
when the Des Moines buses arrive.
1t is expected that with the present
! soft condition of the roads 1t will be
impossible to make the trip much
under twenty hours. The committee
this morning went over every pos
sible method Of transportation and
decided that 1t would be about as
cheap to hire trucks as 1t would to
try to send private cars through all
the way to Des Moines, especially
with the roads in bad shape. 1t was
felt that this was the only thing to
do, in view Of the turn the weather
has taken.
The committee authorized Chair
man Abel to keep DR.. Barr on the
ground until the boys are leaving
camp. They also authorized the
making of a contract for the trans
portatioh, and posted the money
necessary with a bank here. The
money will be raised by subscriptions
and the committee went u this aft
ernoon. Stephen Irwin is made the
treasurer of the fund, and 1t was ex-
pected that the money could be Sc
cured from the people here, although
If necessary the boys will De taxed a
portion OF the amount.

Come Across IF You Want
Bows Home for Christmas

If the Keoluk soldiers at Camp Dodge are to spend
their Christmas at home immediate action on the part Of
Keokuk citizens is necessary. The soldiers must leave
Camp Dodge Friday morning and conveyances must be
provided tomorrow for their use. The demand for auto
transportation exceeds the supply but Keokuk's repre-
sentative in Des Moines has sent word that arrangements
have been made to transport the soldiers to Ottumwa. It
is UP to Keokuk to meet the soldiers at Ottumwa and
bring them to Keokuk and to meet the expense Of trans
portation, which will be about $4,000, there is no time to
bubble about the financial part of the program. It is up
to Keokuk to furnish the money and the committee will
not have time to see everybody. It Is urgent that def
mite answer to this appeal be given Immediately and it
has been decided that contributions to this fund can be
left at The Gate City office or with G. S. Abel, chairman
Of the committee, or Stephen Irwin, treasurer. It will
be a real pleasure for the Keokuk soldiers to spend
Christmas day at home and in order that they shall enjoy
such pleasure, contributions to meet the expense of trans
%portation must be made and made quickly.
