The SURVIVORS
TO GATHER HERE
Those Who Still Live to Tell Tales
of First, Second and Third In
fantry Regiments Are
to Come.
FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY
Were Mustered In at kcokuk in 1861
and Want Once More to
Visit This Historic
Place.

The survivors Of the first, second
and third Iowa infantry regiments VIII
gather in Keokuk the early part OF
1911 for the purpose of holding the NJ
tieth anniversary of their muster into
the United States service in Keokuk
in 1861. The gates of the city will be
thrown open to these veterans, who
have made history They will come
about 800 strong and will remain just
long enough to relate few tales OF
the war and shake hands with each
other. Keokuk will proudly entertain
these survivors and the mayor has
written United States Commissioner j.
O. Stewart of Cedar Rapids, extending
the invitation. The city's executive
learned of the desire for a reunion
here by the following letter received
recently from Mr.. Stewart, who says:
At the G. A. R. encampment, Des
Moines, last week, the survivors of
the first, second and third Iowa infan-
/ try regiments organized an association
/ for the purpose of holding the fiftieth
anniversary of their muster into the
United States service in Keokuk in
/ 1861, and they proposed to move on
the city of Keokuk some time in the
early spring or summer of 1911, and
we now warn your citizens through you
4 to prepare to surrender about that
time, for we are coning-pos 800
/ (not 300,000) strong-with, or without
your permission. Do you want us? We
do not ask much, only room to meet
and some local talent to help out at
camp fires.
The survivors have a longing to
stand up on the bluff and look down
once more upon the Father of Waters
4 which they have not done for fifty
j years, and alas, how many of them
never will again, unless they are per
mitted to look over the battlements o.
heaven.
! met Captain Evans at the encamp
fment and mentioned this matter tc
him and he assured me Keokuk would
j be glad to have us once more, even ii
some OF the older residents did remem
Der how some of the boys got into
1 their orchards.
Shall be pleased to hear from you
isoon.
Very respectfully,
i (Signed) ]. o. STEWART,
United States Commissioner

Meeting in Commercial Rooms to De-

Improvement Assn.
CONVENTION IS SOON.
Necessary to pay Assessment Before
That Time and Fund Cannot
Come out Of City
Treasury.

On Wednesday afternoon at four
clock there will be a meeting at the
Commercial club rooms which will be
of vast Importance to the city of Keo-
kuk.
1t will have for its purpose the con-
sheraton whether or not Keokuk
will remain a member of the Upper
Mississippi Improvement Association.
On July ~ and I3 the next annual
convention of that association will be
held at st. Paul, at which all the
prominent cities and towns along the
Mississippi river between st. Paul
and St Louis will be represented.
This association has for it's general
object the welfare of the entire upper
Mississippi valley, but in particular
the Improvement of the upper river.
The association is supported by as
sessments against each of the cities
and towns belonging to it and the
OILY means it has for it's support in
continuing the valuable work it has
done in the past few years comes
from these contributions.
The assessments levied against the
cities belonging to this association
are paid out of the city treasury. This
was formerly done in the case of Keo-
kull.a but under present conditions it
will be impossible to obtain the
amount assessed against this city in
that manner, and other means must
6ol mo hn &c.
ment, if Keokuk is to remain a mem
Der of the association.
1t is very important that Keokuk
should remain member for many
reasons. A few years ago the associa-
ton was practically unanimously OPP
posed to the building Of the water
power fearing it would obstruct navi-
cation. But by hard work on the part
of representatives from Keokuk the
association was converted from a bit
ter enemy to a staunch supporter OF
the project. To abandon the associa-
ton now when we have practically
realized our ambition of years might
leave bad impression upon the
members and lead them to believe
that our interest in their work was
( purely from a selfish motive and
thereby lose the warm friendship they
have entertained for Keolluk and her
project.
1t is very urgent that there be q
large attendance of the business men
at this meeting, to determine whether
or not Keokuls is to retain its member
ship in the Upper Mississippi River
Improvement association, and if it Is
the money will have to be raised il
some manner to continue in the same

earthed box of old coins which had
cen buried at least twenty years. The
box was about IL inches square and
so badly decay ed that it could not be

was put in sack and taken to the
Exchange Bank where it was cleaned
and counted. There was $l53. so rang
ing in date from 1920 to 1888. 1t Gre
ated considerable excitement andssa
large crowd visited the bank while
the money was being counted. Tie
coin was found on part of the lot
where an old stable had been taken
down about one wear ago. This prop
erty formerly belonged to one Jno.

bachelor an maiden lady, they lived in

Many of the older people most init
mately associated with him believed
that he had money buried somewhere

War. A little search was instituted

in dimes. 1t is believed by many that
much larger sums are secreted in the

foreign. A more careful search will
