Wapello, April 5. Several hundred
acres OF valuable farm land was mum

dering the Iowa river near the old Boil

extremely high stage of water which
Is prevailing near here at this time. A
break occurred in this immediate vicin.

any particular permanent damage will
result as the overflow is confined to a
small area and as the stream is ex-
pected to lower soon the water will
be drained of promptly. Considerable
stock was in danger until it was remov-
ed. Reports from other points would
indicate that the levees are holding out

|FORGER SHEDS

Fl. Madison. April 1.-Two more Fl.
Madison merchants fell prey to the
agility and cleverness of a well dress
ed stranger with a wonderful gift OF
! CAB" and the said stranger who called
| himself by the name of Cunningham
, departed from this thriving metropolis
with a few dollars Of extra change in
his pocketbook. and a new suit of
clothes.
The stranger gave his home as Han
nibal and walked into the office Of the
Fl. Madison Granite & Marble Co.,
! with intentions, so he stated, Of pur-
! chasing a monument for the grave OF
his wife who was buried in this city.
After he had made his selection he
quietly asked the proprietor to accom-
! pany him to the cemetery where he
wished to have the stone placed. His
| request was complied with and for
| several minutes after their arrival at
| the graveyard the wiley crook moan
ed and eeked out crocodile tears over
the spot Of an unmarked grave which
he said was his wife's. He rendered
a check for $105 In payment for his
$95 stone and walked away later with
$40 change.
Then he cashed a check in payment
for a suit of clothes which he pur-
chased the same day, and realized a
brand new business outfit on the deal.
After these two acts a passing train
took him out of reach Of his two VIC
tins, but authorities are hot on his
trail.
1t is said that he has been working
this game all over the country and
with reasonable success.

v SEASON
E AT KEOKUK

Keokuk, April Sunday afternoon
at about 4 o'clock the eyes Of the Sun
day strollers once mor beheld the
bridge open and the packet Keokuk
glide ma1estically down the river.
The Keokuk stopped in the city only
long enough to discharge freight and
will not take any freight until she
starts on her regular trips from
Quincy.
Every indication points to the fact
that this will be a banner year On the
river and the packets are expecting
one Of the heaviest freight seasons In
the history OF the industry. Owing
to the fact that freight . often be
transported between points along the
river quicker and more cheaply than
would be possible using any other
means Of transportation, the packets
are very popular in the summer.

The High Cost of Artillery

Always a costly arm, field artillery is more so
now than ever, due to the complicated engines it uses.
The equipment alone, exclusive Of men and horses,
for the artillery Of a corps in our army reaches a
cost of more than sl2,ooo,0o0, it's visible supply Of
ammunition twice that amount. For an army Of a
million men the cost is more than $120,000, 900; that
of ammunition, more than $240,000,O00. 1t need
scarcely be said that such costly machinery of war
must be provided in time of peace. = Major E. D.
Scott, in National Service Magazine for March.
