The Easter Bunny.

(An Easter Jinge)
There's a story quite funny,
About a toy bunny,
And the wonderful things she can do;
Every bright Easter morning.
Without any warning,
She colors eggs, red, green or blue.
And it's odd, as folk say,
That on no other day
In all of the whole year through,
Does this wonderful bunny,
So busy and funny,
Color eggs of every hue,
Some she covers with spots,
Some with quaint little dots,
And some with strange mixed colors too
Red and green, blue and yellow.
But each unlike his fellow
Are the eggs OF every hue.
If this story you doubt
She will soCn find you out,
And what do you think she will do?
ON the next Easter morning
shell bring you without warning,
Those eggs of every hue,
M. Josephine Todd in ST. Nicholas.

ALDERMAN KIEFER
NAMED AS HEIR
Death Of an Uncle in Far West May
Mean Fortune to this
keokuk Man.

Alderman Albert Kiefer may be the
possessor of thousands. He may for
sake the printers ink and turn his at
tention to municipal affairs; or bet
ter, he may retire altogether from
business entanglements and spend the
remaining of his years in luxury.
The death Of Adolph Delb, sergeant
in Company "E,' Eighth regiment OF
infantry, which occurred recently in
Monterey, Cal, may cause the alder
man from the sixth ward to do any of
these things, for he has been named
as sole heir to the soldiers fortune,
whatever 1t amounts to.
When questioned today Alderman
Kiefer was reticent concerning the
matter. but stated that he did not
know what wealth, if any, his uncle
possessed at the time of his death.
Today he received number OF
papers of the deceased, several OF
them being relative to his army ser
vice together with other effects from
lawyer, stating that he was the sole
heir.

of the mine was suddenly revived to-
day when party Of rescuers broke

found instead of dead bodies as they

1t was not believed possible that any

All Of those rescued Saturday were

erous picks and shovels we're found,
which had been carefully laid aside.

buckets with them and retreated in
to the tunnel.
The personality Of the men who are
known to have been in this tunnel,
caused the revival of hope. In the
party was Tom Bailiff, postmaster OF

ANOTHER SHIP rs SENT
The Buffalo Has Been Ordered to
Steam With all Speed to Central
America and Stay
There.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22,-Follow-
ing conference with the President at
the White House on the Nicaraguan
situation, Secretary of State Knox au-
thorized the following statement:
Certain representations of fact
which have been made to the State
Department concerning the Grace and
Cannon case, are verified by inquiries
that have been made. This govern
ment will at once prepare demand
on the Nicaraguan government for re-
paration for the death of these two
men,
An event Of Importance was the dis
patch of orders to the transport Buff
falo, on duty on the Pacific Coast, to
sail at once for Panama,
The departments instructions to
the commander of the Buffalo were
clear and explicit and the vessel was
expected to sail last night from Pitch
ilinque Bay, CAL, after taking on ad-
ditional supplies of coal and provis-
ions.
May send Marines to Nicaragua.
This ordering Of the Buffalo south
on hurry-up schedule, is taken to
mean that this government is making
ready to throw column of United
States marines into the Nicaragua
turmoil for the protection of Ameri
can lives and property.
While the 500 marines are scattered
4 generally over the canal zone, they
/ can be connected by meafis OF the rail
4 road quickly In Panama, where ther'
are military stores and supplies.
Any expedition against Nicaragua II
which the marines figure would b'
undertaken to the Pacific Coast of th,
\ isthmus. The Buffalo would land thu
men at the Port Of Corinto, which is
port forty miles from Managua.
4 The authorities insist that the dis
4 patch Of the Buffalo is not to be ac
4 cepted as meaning that an expedition
is to be launched against the Zelayal
Government; but that the vessel !
ordered south to be. in readiness
should occasion suddenly arise.
The Buffalo carries six guns, is q
!, 6,SS8 tons burden, and her engines d.
velop 5000 horsepower. The vesse
J will be driven at top speed to Panams
where on her arrival her commando
has been instructed to report immei
ately to Washington.
