AT BEACH TOMORROW ''The Heart of Keokuk" la Being Pro duced Thia Week, to be Thrown Upon the 8creen Later. r1 3f Henry Strong-, a •wealthy manufac turer of St. Paul, accompanied by his (laughter Helen, and son Charles, ar rived In Keokuk, this morning In an automobile, having made the trip down the river to see the dam. While cross ing the bridge they met Jack Rankin, the well known Keokuk boy who was returning from a fishing trip across the river and Rankin pointed out the power house and dry dock to them from the bridge, also telling them the direction to Hotel Iowa. The automobile climbed Main street hill and came to a stop at the Curtis equestrian statue at Third and Main where the Strongs were reading the inscriptions upon the monument when Rankin met them again. These were the first scenes of the photoplay "The Heart of Keokuk," taken this morning by Mr. Dodge with cast of local people. Other scenes were taken this morning and after noon and more will be taken tomor row if the weather permits and the balance of the Scenes taken during the week. The scenes along Main street were filmed today and tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock' the company intends to £0 to Rand park and the Moose bath ing beach to produce a number of icenes there. The cast of characters, together with Messrs. Dodge and Baker left the Grand theatre this morning In several automobiles knd drove to the locations where the scenes were to be taken and the characters were then poBed by Mr. Kenney who is acting as direc tor, while Mr. Dodga turned the crank Visitors to the canal who were privileged to get a glimpse of the routine inner life will recall a fa miliar picture of workmen going to their places of labor carrying round yellow tins. "Often as they went, they munched a food' poured from tho tin into the hand. This food, which played no inconsiderable part in 'building' the canal, was the well known article of diet, GRAPE NUTS.' "The mention of Grape-Nuts in this connection is peculiarly perti nent. Not merely because Grape Nuts is a food—for of course prop- er food was an integral part of the big enterprise—but because it is a cereal food which successfully withstood the effects of a tropical climate. This characteristic of Grape-Nuts was pretty well "known and constituted! a cogent reason HH GOOD NEWS Many Keokuk Readers Have Heard it and Profited Thereby. "Good news travels fast," and the many bad back sufferers in Keokuk are glad to learn where relief may be found. Many a lame, weak and aching back is bad no more, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills. Our citizens are telling the good news of their experience with this tested remedy. Here is an exmaple worth reading: Mrs. H. A. Reuter, 511 Bank street, Keokuk, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from Wilkinson & Co.'a Drug Store, have been used in my family for lumbago and lameness across the kid neys. They have brought great re lief." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's. Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Reuter recommends.

Quite a number of .people gathered about at the various places while the pictures were being taken and many of them got into the play toy walking along the street in froqt of the camera. At the bathing beach tomorrow aft ernoon, several views of the bathers will be taken, including exhibitions of high diving and fancy swimming by those who happen to be In the water at the time, The Strongs are stopping at Hotel Iowa and J&ck Rankin has promised ,to meet them tomorrow and guide them about the city, showing them the sights. These scopes will afford a panorama of the show places of the city and will bo extremely interesting to all who witness the finished produc tion. The tour about the city is fin ished by an afternoon at the bathing beach when the real excitement of the story begins. Cast of• Characters. The Cast of characters is as follows: Henry Strong, from St. Paul—Theo. A. Craig. Helen Strong, his .daughter—Nina Hodge. Charlie Strong, his son—Frank X. Kenney. Jack Rankin, a Keokuk boy—L. A. Rovane. Mary Rankin, his softer—Marie Woboft Mrs. Rankin, their mother—Mrs. T. P. -Gray. The -doctor—Dr. M. Fuller. Thei minister—Rev, E, B. Newcomb. Anybody could guess what duties the": minister will have to perform in the play with the two couples of young people,' taking the prominent parts. Builders of the "Big Ditch" J55* There has just been issued by the Historical Publishing Company of Washington, D. C., a magnificent illustrated history of the construc tion and builders of the Panama Canal. The editor of this great his-. tory is Mr. Ira E. Bennett, with associate editor*, John Hays Hammond, celebrated mining engineer Capt. Philip Andrews, U. S. N. Rupert Blue, Surg. Gen. U. S. Public Health Service J. Hampton Moore, Pres. Atlantic Deeper Waterways Ass'n Patrick J. Lennox, B. A and William J. Showalter. One of the most interesting portions of the book is that dealing with the feeding of the immense army of laborers. A. few paragraphs concerning one of the foods chosen and supplied by the Commissary Department, are quoted (beginning page 428) as follows: Grape-N uts —scientifically made of prime wheat and malted barley, contains the entire goodness of the grain, including those priceless mineral elements so essential for active bodies and keen brains, but which are lacking in white flour pro ducts and the usual dietary. There's a reason why Grape-Nuts food was chosen by the Canal Com missariat. There's a reason why Grape-Nuts is a favorite food of hustling people everywhere! ty The doctor has a prominent part and in the Play are a number of Keokuk people who will appear under their own names in a most startling and effective manner. It is obvious that a local talent mo tion picture play could not be on as extensive a scale as a professional production, but "The Heart of Keo kuk," written with the idea of the possibilities afforded, will prove a most interesting a'nd clever photoplay. It is the first photoplay produced in Keokuk, but it may not be the last. If this first venture proves a success, others may follow it and perhaps the filming today of "The Heart of Keo kuk" is the first of a series of Keo kuk pictures, or the start of a produc ing company. QUINCY WOMAN SHOOTS HUSBAND She Says Husband Told Her She wsi Too Old, and That He Hald Engagement, Qulncy Journal: Elmer WIelage, aged 23, a molder employed at the Qulncy Stove Works, is dead, and his wife, Marie Moore Wielage, aged 35, is ia St. Mary's hospital suffering of a gunshot wound in her right fore head, and held under special police guard for murder, as a result of shooting affray in their three room apartment at 728 South Sixth street last evening about 6 o'clock. Details or the fearful tragedy are not available. Only the woman's ad missions to police officers as she was rushed to the hospital made it pos sible to tell which of the two acted in the offensive. They were alone. Neighbors heard four gunshots In rapid succession and an instant later Wielage fell dead out of the front door onto the street. His wife, bleed ing from her wound and sobbing, "I want to die," was found by neighbors in the kitchen. "He told me I was too old for him and that he had a date with a young weman and was going out to keep it. for its selection for use in the Can al Zone. "This food is so thoroughly baked that it keeps almost indefi nitely in any climate, as has been idemonstraiteid fegain and again. "One finds "Grape-Nuts on transoceanic steamships, in the is lands of the seas, in Alaska, South America, 'Japan, along the China coast, in Manila, Australia, South Africa, and on highways of travel and the byways of the jungle—in short, wherever minimum of bulk, an3 maximum of nourishment are requisite in food which has to be transported long distances, and often under extreme difficulties.

This phenomenal game was {played between the Nauvoo team and the Blue Labels of Keokuk. At the end of the ninth inning, the score stood 4 to 4 and then for nine more innings, neither side was able to I score and the same pitchers carried the game through. In the nineteenth inning, through a costly error on the part of Nauvoo's players, the Keokuk contingent succeeded in making four runs. Nauvoo had the last half ot the Inning to overcome thoBe four runs, but only succeeded in landing one man on the home plate and the score was 8 to 5 in favor of the down city boys.
