Candidates
Charles Off present mayor of Keo
kuk and former councilman fromi the
Fourth ward.
W. E. Strimback, ex-mayor and ex
president of the board of education.
J. F. Elder, for many years associat
ed with the Keokuk & Western rail
road in this city.
For councilman—John Eisfnhuth
well known cigar manufacturer of tne
city, has come forward.
It is expected that there will be a
merry competition on the part of strug
gling candidates in their aspirations
to these offices. The above list will
likely only be a small per cent of the
ment of his candidacy. Ten days be'
fore March 21, would be March 11, so
it can be seen that those aspiring to
the offices have but little more than
a month in which to comply with this
law.
This statement must be a sworn
one. Sn whiph the candidate says he
is a qualified voter and is a candidate
for the office to which he aspires and
that he requests his name to be print
ed upon the official primary ballot for
nomination by such primary election
^or such office. At the same time he
must file therewith the petition of at
least twenty-five oualifled voters, re
questing such candidacy. Each petition
thus made shall be verified by one or
more persons as to the qualifications
Mid' residence, with street number ol
each of the persons so signing the pe
tition.
Judges of Election.
According to the. law the judges of
the general election shall be judges
of the primary election, and it shall b6
held at the same place, so far as, pos
sible, and the polls Bhall be opened
and oldsed at the same hours, with

Activities are beginning to bespeak
themselves In the coming political
fight which will lie entirely new* novel
and interesting to the voters of Keo
kuk, who in July voted to discard the
old staid form of city government and
plunge into something new. Three
men have come forward witbin the
past few days and announce that they
are candidates for the office of mayor,
while one appears to be content with
simply aspirations for the office of
councilman. Two have been actively
engaged in politics during the past few
years, while two have not- However,

Daily Grain Letter.
CHICAGO, 111., Feb. 8.—Wheat
Seasonable weather in all sections. A
number of damage reports in re
gard to winter are being received.
The trade is not disposed to take these
reports seriously while they are bear
features in the general situation. The
fact remains that Chicago May wheat
is not high enough lo attract wheat
from elsewhere. Neither are Chica
go cash prices. Local stocks are
firmly held by speculative, interests
who are taking advantage of mani
pulative possibilities to congest May
wheat on soft spots and milk the
market.
Corn--weather continues favorable
for marketing movement and grading.
Local professional Interests are work
ing hard to bring about a further
break. Conditions seem to favor them.
Elevator interests are taking current
arrivals and hedging with sales of
May.
Oats—The same interests which
have been active on the bear side of
corn are attacking the oats prices.
Conditions for forcing an oats break
are lesB favorable, receipts very
moderate and demand fairly good. Un
less receipts increase materially lo
cal stocks will disappear rapidly. Oats
are relatively the cheapest grain on
the list. Their position seems strong
and the discounted figures, September
and July should be a profitable pur
chase.

^ORKWHILLYOU^:
Sporting News
Since the recent meeting of the
Sport Writers' association papers of
the circuit seem inclined to take up
a pretty fight with the Quincy Journal
on whar the latter should give and not
give publication to. The position of
the Quincy Journal is so well known
that it hardly need be explained. But
the point is just Jfcis: The Gate City
sport writer was unable to attend the
rccen* sport writers' meeting in Mon
mouth, but from what can be learned
from reports of it, the sport writers
did not -get to the root of the matter
in criticising the Journal. Now the
papers resume the tactics of criticis
ing that paper and giving Quincy a
lowered standing throughout the cir
cuit It is to be admitted that the
Journal may have had an ill effect
upon baseball in the Genu City, and
that personalities are involved, but
from what we have, read, many of the
criticisms are based on real facts and
President Harry Hofer has been slow
to cover up his weaknesses. For a
city of over forty thousand people
Quincy is weak somewhere in a base
ball way and it is hard to see how the
Journal is responsible "for it all."
Speaking at long range, the sport writ
ers of the league would do a great
deal better by not quoting the Journal
in regard to baseball matters, other
than news, and permit the Quincy pa
pers to run Quincy Burlington papers
run Burlington as far as dope is con
cerned. Quincy is only being given a
weak name, throughout the circuit by
ail this "fatherly" criticism. The
Journal is entitled to its opinion. If
the Hawk-Eye or Kewanee Star-Courier
want to write' editorials it would be
better to boost Quincy throughout the
circuit than to consume space in con
veying the Journal's view in the same
territory.

Mr. E. A. Kelley, Belvldere, 111.,
writes us: "I am an ex-engineer with
22 years active service to my credit.
About three years ago my kidneys
were affected so that I had to give up
my engine. First I was troubled with
severe, aching pain over the hips
Then followed inflammation of the
bladder, and specks appeared before
my eyes. A sample of Foley's Kidney
Pills that I tried, so benefited me that
I bought more. I continued to take
them until now I can safely testify
they have made me a sound and well
man." Wilkinson & Co.
