j. VIM. PETERSON,
MAN OF HONOR
keokuk's Business World Lost One
Of Its Best Representatives
In Death Of This
Citizen.

| J. William Peterson, whose death
on Friday of last week, came as sor-
rowful news to his many friends in
the city and vicinity, was one OF Keo.
kuk's finest examples of the sturdy,
| dependable business man. For thirty
five years he had been closely iden-
! titled with the commercial circles OF
the city and had but recently retired
from active work. He was an honest,
conscientious merchant, and had
done his share, and more, in building
UP Keokuk's retail trade to its pres
ent high standard.
After nine years as a travelling
salesman for the Carter and Moody
wholesale house, he established Peter
son Brothers retail clothing store
on Main street between Sixth
and Seventh streets where it con-
tinued in business for twenty-six
years and was one Of the largest and
leading stores of it's kind in this sec
ton. The firm was composed of j..
William, Oscar F., and Samuel Peter
son. Samuel Peterson died two years
ago and the senior member of the
firm passed away last Thursday. The
store was sold three years ago to the
Justice and Hoar company, after
more than a quarter OF century of
well deserved prosperity.
Mr.. Peterson was a native Keo-
Ikukian, having been born here June
Is, 1860, and was ever loyal to his
home town. His education was gain
ed in the public schools and he found
his spiritual inspirations In the
Swedish NJ. e. church, of which he
was an active and staunch member.
He took deep interest in the Swed-
ish Aid society Of Keokuk and was
ever, willing to do his part in any of
the work of the society or of the
church.
For several years he was a member
of the board of trustees of the Theo-
logical Seminary at Evanston, ILL.,,
and in this branch Of his church work
was faithful worker and one whose
advice and help was greatly appre-
ciated. His one lodge afflliation was
a long time membership In Morning
Star lodge of the Knights Of Pythias.
In 1890, together with his brother
Oscar, a trip to Europe was enjoyed,
out Of which he gained great
source of information and pleasure.
Mr.. Peterson married Miss Henri
eta M. Peterson Of Keokuk, who,
with an infant daughter. have passed
away. Ten years later he was mar
ried in Chicago to Miss Genevieve
Sandell Of that city, who survives
him, together with three brothers
and several nephews and nieces. The
brothers are Oscar F., and Albert G.
Peterson of Keokuk, and Edward G
Peterson of Atascadero, Calf, the
last named and wife arriving today
for the funeral, which is to- be held
tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock from
the family home, No. 1923 Orleans
avenue.

New System Of
Fat Reduction

Here's a new way for all fat people
to laugh together at that old bugbaboo
Obesity. The saying that there is
nothing new under the sun" does not
now apply to fat people any more.
Here is something new for them-a
new sensation, a new pleasure, a new
and graceful figure, easily found by
anyone who is passing beyond the
limits of slimpess. Everyone has
heard Of the Marmola Prescription;
that harmless combination of fat
defying elements discovered by one of
our foremost physicians. Now, from
the same high authority, there comes
another idea--the idea of condensing
these same pure, harmless ingredients
into a pleasant little tablet. Taken
after eating and at bedtime. they help
the stomach to dispose of all the fatty
foods, converting them into compact,
solid flesh, muscle and energy, with
out dieting or exercise. Marmola
Prescription Tablets regulate the en-
tire system-do for you what bodily
exertion and self-denial can not do,
and the fat, once routed, is gone for
good. You can prove all this at a
trifling cost. Marmola Prescription
Tablets are sold by all druggists or
sent post paid by the Marmola Co,
864 Woodward Ave, Detroit, Mich A
large ase-sufficient to bring lasting
results-is but 81.

sane at Mt. Pleasant, from which he
escaped several weeks ago
AS relatives of Trobee, it is said
have been hiding the man since his
escape from the state hospital, Chief
OF Police Goodman was forced to re-
sort to a ruse to learn II the man was
at the Trobee home on Osborn street,
yesterday. The chief hired a small
boy to visit the home on false errand.
The youth saw Trobee and reported
to Chief Goodman. The chief visited
the home and when he stepped on
the porch, Trobee left by another
door. He was caught after a chase.
Trobee was apprehended last win
ter after he had forced his attentions
on several girls. He made confes-
sion on the night of his arrest, to a
reporter, in which he de-
tailed the attacks he had made on
several young women He was ad-
judged insane and sent to Mt. Plea
SAINT the next day.
Friday night the two girls were on
their way to the home of William
Hoelzen, 1920 Virginia street, to at
tend party. They were accosted In
A dark SPOT by man who kissed
