HOPE CHEST
WAS TAKEN
Someone, For Joke Evidently, TooR
Chest Belonging to Bride in
Yesterdays Wedding-Re-
turned Later.

A brides hope chest disappeared
very mysteriously yesterday and was
as mysteriously brought back about
/ o'clock this morning. The bride
and groom failed to see much OF a
joke to the affair, but there are some
people who are believed to have
been concerned in the theft" who
think it was quite a joke.
The hope chest, filled with all
sorts Of wearing apparel, was left
securely in the house yesterday
morning. 1t was missing when the
newlyweds returned to the home.
How the chest was taken out was a
mystery. The aid of the police even
was invoked, but to no avail.
This morning about I o'clock the
door bell rang vigorously. When the
door was opened. there was the hope
chest Two men were seen disap-
pearing around the corner Of the
street. The mystery is still unsolvsd

To Keep the Face
Fresh, Clear, Youthful

More important than the cosmetic
care Of the complexion is it's physical
care. To keep the face clean, fresh
youthful, there's nothing better than
common mercolized wax. 1t absor5s
the soiled or faded worn-out skin
particles. Cosmetics simply add I'M
wholesomeness to the complexion.
That's the difference. By all means,
acquire the mercolized wax habit.
It's so easy to get an ounce of the
wax at the druggists, apply at night
like cold cream and wash it off next
morning. There's no detention in
doors. the old skin coming off so
gradually no one suspects you are
using anything. When in a week or
Two the alluringly youthful, rose-like
underskin is fully in view-well, you
won't want, or need, makeup COM
plexion after that. It must be ap-
parent that this process means COM
piete radiance of all cutaneous blem-
ashes. like freclcles, pinples, blotches
and blaekheads.

r CLEAR UP ALL ALLEYS
Winter Refuse and Ash Piles Could
be Moved Away to Advantage,
1t Has Been Sug-
Qested-

! Clean up time is here, and the sus
gestion has been made that Keokuk
people could do much towards im
proving the looks of the streets and
alleys of the city if they would help
tiers, streets and alleys.
| The street department is spending
time and money in getting the gut
tiers cleaned out 1t is bit disap-
pointing to the department to find
that after they have cleaned up the
cutters, that some property owner
throws lot of leaves and twigs and
dead grass that he has raked up from
his yard into these cutters.
The first rain that comes, the de-
partment bosses say, washes all this
trash into the sewers, with the result
that the sewers clog up and make
trouble. Property owners are not the
only offenders, either. Public utility
repair gangs have been known to
dump old iron and spikes and chunks
Of wood over in the nearest gutter,
rather than to carry the stuff away.
The street department funds are
limited, but Commissioner Overton Is
suggesting that the people could help
materially If they would in improving
the alleys and the cutters around
their property. The alleys are par
ticularly filthy now with the accumu-
lations of ashes, tin cans and other
refuse from winter. A general clean
up of the alley in the rear of every
ones property would help greatly to
make things much more slightly look
ing.

Commissioner hemmy is Looking for
Couple Of Men Who viii Stay
in Stations on This
Shift

Quarters and Will be Given
Pay for Their
Work.

The fire department needs two
minutemer who will sleep in the en-.
! gine houses at night. The men will
Hbe at the stations for from eight to
ten hours each night and will be pro-
vided with beds, place to sleep and
be paid for the job. If there are any
d. J. Hemmy, commissioner of pub
| lie safety, is the man to talk to
about it
With the installation Of the double
platoon shift, it is necessary to get
some additional men in order to
carry out the plans Commissioner
Kenny has decided to try out the
system of two men in the stations at
night to act as minutemen, answer
the calls and assist the regular fire
men. These men will be privileged
to have their regular occupation in
the day time and practically will be
given lodging and be paid for sleep
ing.
The hours have not been decided
upon definitely, but the men would
go to work probably about o'clock
and would be on duty until $50 or 6
the next morning. They would be
given beds and a place to sleep, be-
sides drawing pay for the job. There
would be little for them to do, except
in the way of answering calls, which
are few at night.
Commissioner Hemmy can be
reached at the city hall at any time
on this proposition, and he would
like to hear from applicants who
would be available for such duty.

Announces His Candidacy for Con.
gress From the First
Congressional
District.

To the republicans of the first dis
trict of Iowa:
l am candidate for the republi-
can nomination for congress and !
frankly ask for your support
1t would not be becoming in me
TO speak of my own qualifications for
the place, but l think it is permjs-
sible for me to call attention to the
fact that the river counties have had
the congressman continuously for the
past thirty-six years. l believe it
can be fairly said that the interior
counties, which have generally fur
nished the republican majorities, now
have a rightful claim to the place.
/ assure you that no word or act
of mine will divide the republican
party in this district. l have no per-
sonal controversy with. any other
candidate. / count them all as
friends. ! shall not engage in per.
sonalities of any kind. If I cannot
secure the nomination without criti'
cising, belittling or abusing any
other candidate, do not want it. l
hope so to conduct my campaign that
when it is through l shall have the
respect and confidence Of my oppo-
nents. If nominated, I want the sup
port of all. If defeated, I want the
good will of all. Whatever the re-
suit you will find me supporting the
whole republican ticket.
Yours for a good natured campaign
and a united republican party.

developed the fact that If prominent
politicians were making a book On
today's republican primaries they
would rate the entries thus:
| Indiana Wood, Johnson Ono
Lchoice), Lowden, Harding.
California-Johnson, Hoover.
! That was the dope" as the voters
of Indiana and California went to the
polls today in what were regarded as
The last OF the big important primary
elections. But the same analysis
agreed on this that the dope" was
subject to the same upsets it has suf'
ifered in majority Of the republican
primaries this year.
Surface sentiment in Indiana with
in the last few days showed as much
variation as the present spring
weather.
To win unoonteSted claim to Indi-
ana's entire delegation of 80, can
didate must poll a majority of the
votes. This was regarded as an i'm
possibility.
Johnson and Herbert Hoover were
before the voters In California to de
termine which is to be the states

mean almost irretrievable loss Of
prastige. The former food admins
traitors stronghold appeared to be
Los Angeles and vicinity. The sena-
tor was so confident OF the outcome
that, despite the Importance he made
no speech in the state. The state
has twenty-six delegates.
