Worse Than a Tank Town.


This city of Keokuk is Isolated
more than a lot Of little water tank
towns where the station agent sleeps
where his call can waken him. IL
might as well be Mooar as real
city. insofar as telegraphing is con-
cerned, and most Of the important
business is transacted by Telegraph
nowadays.
Eyes, l know there is telegraph
office at the union station, but they
won't take a message by telephone
and you have to carry 1t down 10
them and then talk pretty to get
them to handle it-they are really
busy with important train wires ana
ought not to have a thing to do but
attend to the railroad business, which
often keeps the wires busy for hours
at time.
Something ought to be done to
get us a telegraph wire into keokuh
after dark-it is just about at S:So
o'clock these summer nights with
the clocks advanced as they are.
