Firemen Have Hard Run With the
Mercury at Bottom of Tube,
but Save the

The mercury in their thermometer
stood at fourteen degrees below zero
at 800 o'clock this morning, when
the Sixth street firemen ran out to
1924 High street on an alarm. 1t was
bitterly cold as the truck raced along
the streets.
The fire was in the home of Frank
P. Skyles, a lineman, and was caused
by thawing out frozen water pipes.
The joist caught fire and the blaze
started into the partitions. It was
extinguished with small loss, the
principal damage coming from the
necessity of chopping hole to get al
the fire.
The house is owned by the Mary
Weyand estate, at Hamilton.

/ She was Miss Lillian Perkins, one
of the best known girls In Keokuk,

court are in her present name OF Mrs.
Lillian NJ. Mcconnell.
She has sued the Keokuk street
railway for $2,999 for personal IN
juries sustained last March near her
then home at Fourth and Franklin
streets.
The petition in the Lee district
court alleges that she was going on
the street car from Seventh and Main
streets to Fourth and Franklin
streets. and as the car approached the
latter corner she signaled her desire
to alight there. She went to the
front platform and stood holding by
one hand to an upright support, wait
ing for the car to stop at the near
side of the intersection, as is the Gus
tom here.

But, she alleges, the car went on.

pain and anguish therefrom, and more
over had to pay doctor forty three
dollars.
Also, that the brake on the canvas
defective and out of repair, and tho
motorman-it was man then-failed
to take the necessary action to stop
the car at the proper place at the
intersection.
Mrs Mcconnell was at that time
postofflce clerk, and that trip was her
regular one from the postofflce to
her apartments in the Alpha.

The amount sued for. $2,99e, is Just
one dollar less than the federal court
can consider. It prevents taking the
case to the federal court, which could
be done on the ground Of diverse resi-

Mrs. Mcconnell now lives In Omaha

sue in the federal court, IL she chose,
but she preferred the state court IN

The county attorney desires to call
the attention of the waters users of
Canyon county to the necessity Of the
control of waste water. Complaints
are continually being made that water
is permitted to flood the roads, rem
dering them impossible. Investiga-
ton discloses that most of this is due
to oversight. There is no desire to
harass any farmer on this account, but
it is absolutely necessary that water
DC kept out of the roads. 1t causes
great expense to the county in keep
ing the roads up as well as to the tray
cling public who suffer because Of it.
This office has instituted very few
prosecutions for this offense, but the
abuse has become so general that rad
ical steps must be taken to stop the
evil and prosecutions henceforth will
be begun immediate uDon receipt oil
further complaints.

the farmer and the old time-consum-
ing method of soaking seed potatoes
from ~ to hours in either corrosive
sublimate or formaldehyde solution is
to be replaced by an efficient shorter
method perfected by the Iowa station.
Potatoes are merely din"ed for two
minutes in hot formaldehvde solution
and allowed to dry. Formaldehyde is
more active hot than cold. 1t pene-
trates faster and kills more rapidly.
Following is the modified formula:
Formaldchyde (40 per cent solu-
tion), Q pints.
Water, 80 gallons.
Dip 2 minutes at 118 TO l22 degrees
F. Pile to 8 inches deep and cover
with wet sacks for go minutes and
then allow to dry.
When corrosive sublimate solution
"a OF. to 80 ralys.) is heated to lie
to l22 degrees F. it is necessary te
dipe the potatoes for only one-hal
hour instead of the former time o
liz to 2 hours.
