ing and speaks from scenes in actual
warfare that came by experience in
this great conflict The lecture will

One evening last week Crank Kerl,
the Nauvoo inventor of high explo-
sives for this governments warfare,
! took his formula up to the Kimball
fields to give his new contrivance a
try out. Several friends of the invent
or went up with him. About eleven
o'clock while one of our citizens was
going to his home In the north part
of the city, he noticed the appearance
/ of flames about the Kimball fields and
noticed men running backward and
/ forwards about the ball of fire and
/ supposed a big confiasration was go
! ing on with no buildings in sight. 1t
was later learned that it was the in
yentor with his continuance and his
/ friends to test the working conditions
which sesmed satisfactory. Frank has
been in close touch with the proper
officials at Washington regarding his
new discovery in war implements OF
! death and destruction and 1t may not
j be long before his invention will be
accepted, manufactured and sent over
there, and be success in wiping out
! the kaiser and his followers. II his
invention is proven successful In war
fare, we will all bow TO the millionaire,
Mr.. Frank Kerl.

| 1t is too bad that some one can't re
pair the lake shore drive from Nauvoo
to Hamilton. This boulevard when
first finished was the pride of all Maui
| VOC people, those living along the
route and every one who had the OPP
portunity of using it. There surely
ought to be some legal way found to
compel road overseers to place this
thoroughfare in condition. Why all
the officials are compelled to keep up
bridges on the route and they neglect
the road. If nothing is done soon this
once beautiful driveway will be i'm
passable at any time but extremely
dry seasons. There Is a bountiful
supply of material at hand at con-
venient distance that can be secured
at small cost and the commissioners
in the townships ought to find a way
TO put it back into it's once beautiful
state The rock quarries about Maui
WOO on the lake have an abundance of
good road material which can be
barged to the places on the drive
along the lake. Won't some one look
the matter up to make some one in
authority repair the boulevard?
