Keokuk relatives.
Floyd Heberer of Nauvoo. recently
became a member Of the Elks lodge
in FIT. Madison.
A few days ago while John Jaster
of Nauvoo was engaged in chopping
wood in the timbers, he had the mis-
fortune to cut a serious cash in one
of his feet.
Mrs. Anna Jackson, former Maui
VOC lady who at one time held the
position in the First National bank
as assistant cashier, is holding a
similar position in the Peoples State
bank in Hamilton. The lady has
! been an assistant in the circuit
clerks office in Carthage.
! Now it is officially announced
again that the steamer Keokuk will
make her first trip in the Nauvoo
trade beginning next Tuesday, April
r. Nauvoo people will probably be
so busy at the township election with
the dry and wet question on that day
that they will not notice the arrival
of tho welcome little steamer when
she arrives here on the first trip for
this season
While VIM. Lightner was engaged
in burning brush on his premises
few days ago, some sparks set fire
to the smoke house and when dis.
covered by a neghbor the building
was wrapped in flames, but were ex-
tinguished before 1t was consumed.
People in Nauvoo when burning
brush, should select a time when the
wind is not blowing and then use
the utmost care to protect their
property as we'll as that of their
neighbors.
Tomorrow is that joyful day known
as Easter Sunday and the Nauvoo
lads and lassies will be seen on our
streets displaying their beautiful
colored eggs along with the ladies
exhibiting their new Easter costumes.
Nauvoo's board of town auditors
held a meeting last Tuesday and
adjusted the business of the year
gone by so as to have all matters
complete after the election next
Tuesday.
The warm weather of the glad
spring time will be here in Nauvoo
next week and the first thing TO de-
termine in buying a fishing rod and

pay. And if you are going along the
lake here to fish, the second thing
TO determine is whether our expert
fisherman approves of the purchase
and the spot where you expect to
angle.

informed that c. r. Montgomery has
consented TO make the race for the
office and if this be true, 1t is doubt
full if he will have any opposition.
No doubt Monte will make good
mayor, something that Nauvoo needs
and it is hoped that the town will get
one at the coming city election, which
takes place Tuesday April 16.

ing to the Julian calendar.
BY 1882 this eleven minutes had
amounted to ten days and this nc.
counts for the fact that May day an
parently came much later in 10, msr
years than at present. Pope Gregory
AIN gave considerable thought to the
calendar and finally ordered that ten
days should be deducted from the
year 1882 SO that on October 8. ten
Gays were skipped and the next day
was October 1s. His edict contemplat.
cd that every Tooth year should not
nave an extra day. except every four
nunoredth year. This correction OF
the Julian calendar is now SO accurate
that the difference will not amount to
a day in 5000 years.
Spain, Portugal and Italy immod.
lately followed the edict of Pope
Gergory XIII France made the
change in December, 1882 The prot.
estants opposed the popes plan until
in 1900. England in 1852 adopted the
plan on September 2. and the differ
ence had now amounted to eleven
days and SO the following day was
September IA. Russia still adheres
to the old style.
After the invention of mechanical
clocks. different time standards were
used separate from the actual sun
time. We find that along about 1869
there were seventy-five different
standards in use in the United States.
In that year Professor Charles r.
Dowd began an agitation among rail-
road officials to adopt uniform stand
ard on the theory that whatever che
railroads adopted, the people would
adapt themselves thereto. His plan
contemplated the adoption of four
meridians. the 18th extending thro lyh
philadelphia. the Goth through New
Orleans and st. Louis, the lO5th
through Denver, the 120th through
Virginia City, and each Of these
meridians was to control the time for
7@ degrees on either side and each
OF them was to have a time one hour
apart. The first was to control the
eastern time, the second, central
time, the third, mountain time, and
the fourth, Pacific time.
