WOO judges and clerks of the election
will have to consider themselves in,
formation bureaus and be prepared
to answer some surprising questions.
Besides there may be family parties
at the polls this year, and the cleo
ton would then take on the appear
ance of a social gathering.
Only about four short weeks more
and then Nauvoo will again be cut
off from the outside world unless the
present weather continues which is
not likely. After that time the popu-
lar local steamer Keokuk will seek
it's winter quarters and the Nauvoo
ferry will also lay up until next
spring. Nauvoo people will after
that turn to the use of the motor
truck for freight hauling as long as
the roads will permit and the taxi for
making trains at Keokuk and Fort
Madison This mode of transporta-
ton is very expensive and trip will
be very urgent before citizen viii
undertake one. And freight is usual
ly curtailed during the winter
months by Nauvoo business men.
They only order what is absolutely
necessary to carry in stock for the
of their customers.
The Nauvoo interurban line that was
to have been completed by January
1. 1921. is now deceased. Another
proposition may be resurrected by
early spring time and promise to
be in running order by the first of
the following year. Trot them out
for we are accustomed to them bob
bing up every year.

"THE GUMPS''

1.-THE Gumps," a musical sketch
founded On the domestic adventures
Of that lively and recriminating fam
lily, furnished two hours of enjoyment
for great number OF people at the
Grand last night. When the comedy
was presented here last year it
caught o." but it was recognized
that some changes in the cast would
place the production in the front rank
OF musical and mirth-provoking en-
tertainments. Evidently the producers
were of this mind, for the piece has
been vastly improved in that respect,
and the company of players support
ing James r. Frazer, who assumed
the role of Andy, left nothing to be
desired. DroI situations, songs,
badinage and some eccentric dancing
all served to give additional edge to
the exhibition of the woes of the
principal character. suffered as the
result OF the hen-pecking proclivities
of Min, his better half. 1t was a

 Il can't see q chance in the world of holding the fight at Tiaiuana. Until l went to San Diego last week I thought there was d possibility of holding the bout there but after going over the ground personally I came to the conclusion that Lower California is not the proper site.
 In the first place Tiajuana is be- yond the extreme southwestern bound ary of the United States. It is fifteen miles from San Diego, and transpor- t;Ltion facilities are sadly lacking. Then there is not d large enough To- cal population to draw from.
 Jim Coffroth told me that he had never stated definitely that he planned to hold the bout at Tiajuana. His chief aim is to be the promoter. whether in Mexico, the United States England or France, he doesn't appear to care.
 Tt seems to me that all this Tia juana talk has been to boost another enterprise promoted by Coffroth and operating therc
 As far as 1 can see now there doesn't appear to be much chance of holding the fight in the United States at all. Judging from the present out look London or Paris will land it. In the meantime neither Dempsey nor myself is Worrying.
