people for the suffering Belgians.
In the Main street headquarters,
there were dozen big packing cases,
each of them about a cubic yard
capacity, being filled with the mems
and women's garments Of all kinds.
The cases were donated by the Stand

All the packing will be done by

enough for anybody to wear, and all
being very serviceable.

today says:
1t appeared at the opening of to-
days stock market that Wall street
was to see a continuation of yester-
days buying. Initial prices were
somewhat higher and trading started
off with animation, but after the first
fifteen minutes the movement slowed
down more and more.
Marine common and preferred were
among the few features which dis
pla ed strength, the preferred cross
ing 1O6. The oil shares were heavy
and the same was true of the steel,
equipment and copper groups. The
rails were thin and but slightly
changed In the second hour, the
well defined demand for leather
stocks developed. In general, how
ever, prices ruled under the Friday
level.

FALSE ALARM
FIEND WORKS
Causes Fire Department to Make Use
less Runs and Endangers
Property While They
are Out.

The false fire alarm flend is at
work in Keokuk again.
Just before noon today, he turned
in an alarm for fire said to be at
1O16 Franklin street, (which is the
residence of J. N. Collier without a
telephone None of that family knows
anything about it.
There was no fire there nor any
where else in town, the fremen found.
There is a heavy penalty for turn
ing in false fire alarm, and steps
are being taken to catch the f1end
at work and keep him in jail until
next spring. His actions wear out
the fire department and expose the
whole town to extra fire hazard while
the companies are out of their sta
tons.
AS the firemen were returning from
this false alarm, they met Mr.. Col
lier in his carriage with his family
horse in a fast lope, he having heard
that the alarm was for his home.
