AN HISTORIC
HOMESTEAD
The Hart Property Finally Passe
Into New Hands After Many
Years in One
Family.

The Hart homestead, and store
building adjoining, at 222 and ZIG Elk
change street, one of the landmarks
OF early Keokuk, yesterday passed
out of the family name, after con-
tinuous title for sixty-two years.
It was in 1857 that f. X. Hart and
wife established themselves in this
property and reared an interesting
family, OF whom Mrs. j. A. M. Col
Inns, nee Miss Gertrude Hart and
Miss Emma Hart, of Boulder, Colo,
are the only surviving members.
The property with it's interesting
history passed to o. G. Mandt, who
will put it in ship shape and utilize
1t for dwelling and storage purposes.
Rev. r. c. McIlwain, the rector of
St. Johns for many years and dean
of Keokuk ministers before his
death, lived there for long time.
Once there was a spice factory in
the buildings there.

All Found Guilty.

CINCINNATI, O.. Feb. 12.-Ray
Van Tress and fifteen associates in
the McAlester real estate exchange
of McAIester. Okla, were found
guilty by jury in federal court here
today, of conspiracy to use the mails
to defraud.
The indictment against Van Tress
and his subordinates named nearly
five hundred persons. The govern
ment brought number of clients to
Cincinnati to testify. Nearly forty
newspaper men were called. Their
evidence was offered in an effort to
substantiate the governments ale
cation that "ads" were so worded as
to create the impression that the
McAlester company was acting az
agent for the government for sale OF
Indian lands.
Customers came from all parts of
the country and told of their deal
ings with Van Tress' agents. By
means of plates and maps, the gov
ernment's testimony sought TO show
that more than one prospective pur-
chaser was assigned the same land
This was admitted by Van Tress
when he testified, but he insisted
land assignments were SO arranged
that everybody would be satisfied

One of the speakers at the farmers
institute at Donnellson this week is
Frank Mann, who is very interest
ing person
He is an associate editor of the
Prairie Farmer and one of the largest
and most successful farmers in the
west. He operates farm of about
four hundred and eighty acres near
Gilman, Iroquois county, Illinois. He
has operated this farm for about
forty years Most of this time it has
been operated as grain farm, and
very little live stock has been kept,
especially during the past twenty
five years. He was the first man in
Illinois to adopt the soil building
plan of farming worked out by the
University of Illinois. Each year for
the past thirteen or fourteen years
he has covered about one-fourth of
this farm with rock phosphate at the
rate of about one ton per. acre each
year.
His crop yields have increased
from about the average secured in
his part of the state to the point
