other manner. when does Easter
Gomez" is the annual and oft repeated
question, therefore the following
verses are given as reliable answer
for all time:
When March the twenty-frst is past,
Just watch the silvery moon
And when you see it full and round,
Know Easter'll be here soon.
After the moon has reached it's full,
Then Easter will be here,
Ihe very Sunday after,
On each and every year.
But if it hap on Sunday,
The moon should reach its height,
The Sunday after this event
Will be the Easter bright.
Fortunately when not convenient to
watch the "silvery MOON" an almanac
gives information when it is full,
which answers the same purpose

Suppose, fancy, imagine" ex-
claims the Keokuk Gate City, that
we had, the last four weeks, trolley
lines radiating from this town to all
the villages in the county; the track
laid on macadam; carrying passengers
and light freight like butter, eggs,
vegetables, flour, groceries, dry goods.
What difference it would have made
in the comfort of all and also in trade.
The east has these lines threading
communities like spider cables, and
the west will have them inside of

ESCAPED INMATE.
Unfortunate Thinks He Was Sent
from ottun1Wa to Asylum.

Alonzo Smith, an escaped inmate of
the insane asylum at Mt. Pleasant,
was found in the city last evening and
arrested by the police. He claims to
have been discharged by the board OF
commissioners at Ottumwa, but adj
mits that he left Mt. Pleasant without
the consent of the authorities there.
His recollection Of the past is rather
vague. He thinks that he was sent
to the institution from Ottumwa, but
he is not sure, and the mayor thought
it best to keep him locked up until
word is received from Mt. Pleasant.

Prof Gunton: Poverty is not and
