COMMERCIAL CLUB
JAUNT TOMORROW
Women Will Go Tomorrow Night and
Big Supper Is Promised by the

That Nauvoo supper is not going TO
be a stag affair, as originally planned.
Keokuk wives evidently have the
say-so as to their husbands trips, as
it was decided this morning that the
Commercial club members would take
their wives on the trip to Nauvoo TO-
morrow night. When the committee
went out to sell tickets to the mem
bers today they found that everybody
would go, if-and the if was taking
the wives along.
Word was sent out this noon by
President Duncan that the wives OF
the merchants will be included in the
trip tomorrow, and they will have an
opportunity to enjoy a supper such
as Nauvoo cooks are famous for.
Automobiles will be ferried across
from Montrose at o'clock, on the
last trip, according to Captain REIN
bold of the Nauvoo ferry. If the local
people desire, instead of driving to
Montrose, they can drive to Nauyoo
over the prairie road between Ham
ilton and Nauvoo. The bridge at Mt.
Moriah is still out, hence the neces-
sity for a detour.
