STORM STOPS
BAND CONCERT
Wind and Dust Cloud Drives Away
the Large Audience Which AS
sembled to Hear keokuk
Concert Band.

After being praised to the skies
by visiting critics at the chautauqua
| for week, the Keokuk Concert
! band received the highest compli-
ment Of It's career last night, when
several hundred people went from
all over town in the face of coming
storm to hear it play.
With the clouds whirling and thick
ening, blacker and blacker, the audi
ence collected. including many wom-
en- and girls, in the Sitting heat pre-
ceding a storm at the end Of a very
hot day.
They sat on the grass of the post
office lawn, filled the steps Of the
government building, and the side
walk on the south side Of Blondeau
street opposite the band stand. The
stand was decorated In the national
colors, and men had worked in the
hot sun of the afternoon to install
on 1t electric lights which were nev-
er lighted.
For the concert, which started
promptly at s o'clock, lasted just
twelve minutes
A stirring march was played and
the band started into the overture
of Bach's Cyrano. A great cloud of
dust came down the street, the
clouds mounted into the sky from
two directions at once, the people
scattered for shelter, and the baton
of Bandmaster Bower gave the sig
nal for retreat. The musicians went
into the Elks club first, hoping that
the storm would blow over and the
threatened rain either not come or
come and 60
Finally they played the rest of the
program in the rotunda of the club
house and called it a rehearsal. al
though they had an audience of some
people who stood outside to hear
the music with appraised eyes-to
watch the clouds.

perhaps death blow. AS an illustra.
ton Of what it would mean to the
barge line not to get complete sys-
tenn Of joint rates with the railroads
established while the government has
arbitrary power to put them into ef-
feet, 1t is estimated that to establish
them by any law hereafter to be made
for the protection of the barge line
would consume two years in court in
the case Of rate to each individual
point, involving the barge line in a
mass of litigation which would wear
everyone out
VIII Give Thorough Test.
Hines knows this quite we'll. He
knows that the thorough test which
he has from time to time assured the
people of the Mississippi valley that
the barge line would be given means
nothing less than to establish 1t as a
complete traffic system, with ade-
rates with the railroad in all the
territory in which river freights
would move.
1t is to make good these assurances
that he intends building the terminals
where the cities have failed to pro-
vide them and thus make possible the
rates which the railroad administra-
ton says it is ready to grant on the
day the terminals are ready for opera,
ton.
Mr.. Hines does not believe that in
fairness to the barge line the govern
ment should leave 1t to get anything
1t needs after the railroads have been
to their owners. That Is
what he said about that before the
interstate commerce committee Of the
senate.

She has the lowest precipitation of
moisture of any state not enough
even for dry farming; every acre OF
her land known to be suitable for
farming is already occupied for that
purpose. Yet Nevada has 10000 900
acres in her valleys that would be
subject to cultivation if water could
be obtained" So the senate has
passed bill to give to any citizen
OF the United States $500 acres of
these lands who drills for and finds
water to irrigate them. Oddly
enough, what gave the most trouble
in working the famous bonanza
mines Of Nevada was-water.

County, Missouri, Where
He Married.

The Kahoka Courier says of an
old and prominent citizen Of Keokuk
who died recently:
The late w. II. Bowman, of Keo-
kuk, was we'll known all over Clark
county for some forty years. He mar
ried an Alexandria girl, a Miss
Hewitt, daughter Of Captain Jonathan
Hewitt, who for many years was pro-
prietor of the old Pearl street hotel.
Captain Hewitt also served as com
mander Of the large transfer ferry
Warsaw, which operated here during
the early years of the building of the
Missouri Iowa and Nebraska rail-
road. Mr.. Bowman was a kind and
generous-hearted man, well liked by
all who knew him. All honor to his

HOTTEST DAY OF YEAR
Mercury Mounts Over the Century
Mark at the Weather Bureau
Station and Then Falls

Yesterday was the hottest day OF
this year of 1919.
| In the afternoon, the official Their.
mometer on top the government build
ing went over the century mark. The
weather bureau station records 1t as
100 degrees but it was fraction
above that
| The previous high record was 100
degrees on last Monday, but that day
| it was fraction below that figure
hence yesterday was nearly degree
hotter than the previous hottest day,
which was within the same last week
of July.
This makes fifteen years out OF
| forty-eight that the weather bureau
thermometer reached the hundred
mark. The high record in that time
| is 100 degrees.
Hottest Place In Country Again.
Keokuk was the hottest place In
the United States again yesterday,
albeit coats were comfortable today.
Yesterday, st. Louis, Nashville and
Kansas City came within two degrees
| OF Keokuk, having temperature rec
ords of SO degrees.
The heat persisted until shutdown
and after, and the calm before the
storm made 1t the more unbearable.
But after dark, which is about 10
o'clock by clock time the tempera-
ture began to fall, and by midnight 1t
was comfortable, while this morning 1t
was decidedly cool compared with the
rest of this week, and indeed the
whole month of July.
Rain came about midnight and be-
fore morning over an inch Of rain had
fallen here. Earlier in the evening
very heavy rain cloud could be seen
in the southwest, and big wind and
electrical storm filled the sky over
Illinois. 1t rafned again this forenoon.
There was little wind here.
