'..Keep Siren Sounding Fog horns are going to be a neces sary part of the equipment of the steamers on Lake Cooper if any more gray blankets cover the lake such as covered It yesterday morning. It was practically impossible to see a hundred feet ahead on the lake, and the boats which make the early trips were taking all precautions. The steamer Keokuk which leaves here early in the morning, proceded up the iQW'a side of the river, instead of crossing over as Is usual to the Illinois side. The steamer was sound ing Its siren all the way up the lake. It was practically Impossible to see any distance b#yond the nose of the boat, and the captain and crew were taking no chances on striking any thing or* getting into the path of any of the bigger boats. Fogs as heavy as this one of yes terday are rather unusual along the lake, although frequently In the early fall and spring the ffcw boats on the lake find themselves In a fog blanket, hardly as thick as this one of yes terday, however.

TWO YOUNG LADIES HAVE NARROW ESCAPE Misses Huls of Carthage Vicinity In volved In Runaway In Hancock Capital city. CARTHAGE, 111., Aug. 14.—Two young ladles, the daughters of Jared Huls," a farmer living south of this city, had a narcw escape from a ser ious and perhaps fatal Injury from death. They were in a buggy and had started for their home, and when on the south side of the public square, near the Hotel Cutler, one ot the front wheels came oft the buggy. The axle, scraping along on the pavement, frightened the horse and it began to run. They came around the east side of the square, and when at the northeast corner, the horse veered Into the Baptist church yard. The axle catching on the curbing, checked the speed, and caused the buggy to topple over. This threw the young ladies to the pavement with considerable violence. Very fortunately they were not ser iously injured. *. How to Beautify a Summer Soiled Face It's really a simple matter to reno vate a face soiled by sun, winds or dirt. Ordinary mercolized wax, used like cold cream, will transform the worst old complexion Into one of snowy whiteness and velvety soft ness. It literally peels off the outer veil of surface skin, but so gently, gradually, there's no discomfort. The wornout skin comes off, not in patches, but evenly, in tiny particles^ leaving no evidence of the treatment. The younger, healthier under-skin forming the new complexion, is one of captivating, loveliness. One ounce of mercolized wax, to be had at any drugstore, is enough to remove any tanned, reddened, pimpled, freckled or blotchy skin. Apply before retir ing, washing it off mornings. Many skins wrinkle easily with every "wind that blows, with heat, worry, etc. An excellent wrinkle re mover, because it tightens the skin and strengthens relaxed muscles, Is a wash lotion made as follows: Pow|water dered saxolite, 1 oz.. dissolved In ha-r' 14 pt. This gives Imme diate results. *$K Zfym* KEOKUK HAS NO ELECTRICAL RIVAL 'Horace A. Turner, electrical superintendent of the Keokul: Eledttlc Company, who returned today with his wife, from a.

Mr. Turner originally oame from Seattle and has had a large part in the work of putting Keo kuk on the electrical map. rY Water Circus Real Novelty.
