Chicago Papers Error.

A short time ago, the Chicago Trib-

the foremost voealists of the world
Among the list which was very limit
ed and contained not more than a
dozen or fifteen names of masters in
the art of singing, were those of Miss
Helen Culver, we'll known in this city
and an Illinois lady, and Mr.. William
Farmer, Keokuk boy who has be-
come famous. The Chicago newspa-
per stated that both were from North
Daksta and We're travelling in concert
at present with the Trever Opera
company. 1t is we'll known that both
musicians are from this city and are
at present with the Moody Manners
opera. company, an account of Mr..
Farmers achievements appearing in
The Gate City some two months ago.
after letter had been received here
from Mr.. Farmer Mr.. Farmer will
visit Keokuk in June and will make
this city his home during the warm
weather months before returning to
New York in September, possibly. The
foregoing shows how easily and
through inadyertency on the part of
the music editor the names of Mr..
FARMER and Miss Culver became at
tached to the wrong state and the
wrong opera company, for both are
at present touring England, Ireland

wants Of Men.

Doubtless you adraire the pretty,
graceful creatures that perch upon the
caves of your house. or daintily trip
across your yard, but did you ever
think what factor they have been in
the history of the world?
Pigeons, as commonplace as they
appear, are characters of antiquity,
the Household says. We hear of them
when the waters of the deluge covered
the face Of the earth, when the faith
full dove flew from the hand of Noah
and returned to her master, bearing
the significant olive branch. Dove is
the Anglo-Saxon name; pigeon, the
Norman name
During tie fifth Egyptian dynasty,
5000 years before Christ, 1T was the
fashion to domesticate pigeons, and to
train them as carriers and messen-
gers. The promptness with which
Caesar was informed of the rebellions
in Gaul, and thereby enabled to cross
the Alps before those uprisings could
possess the entire province, was due
to the use of carrier pigeons. In the
crusades these birds were skillful and
faithful messengers.
The price of a handsome pair of
pigeons in ancient Rome was not
trifie for Axius, Roman knight, once
sol air of pigeons for 40 denarii-
about G13 in English money. and
about s65 in our currency. At that
time, too, they were by far the swift
est conveyers of news and were much
in demand at the celebration of the
Olympic games.
Among the many pathetic incidents
connected with the Imprisonment of
Mary Queen of Scots, she begs earn
estly for pigeon, and writes in let
ter: Il beg you to procure for me some
pigeons. / wish to rear them in
cages; it will be such pastime for a
prisoner"

his wife, came to this city, where they
have since resided, his faithful wife
surviving him in death.

Supposed to Have Drowc.d.

Fred Bawden who lives near The
econd lock, stated this morning
hat Albert Moselsy came to his
house one night last December and
esked sor all nigh. lodging. IN he
morning he went to the ice fields
where the Becker Ice Company was
Employing a force of men in It's llar-

employment and worked until noon.
|Ihe last seen of him, he was drinking
soup, part of the rations doled out to
#tle men for their noon meal. Moseley
did not return to work in the after
fnoon and for some time his disappear
Fance was regarded as strange. From
tthe fact that none of the
kmen were at the place
where the body was found this
&morning. it is not known whether the
xhoater found is the body of Moseley
Tor not. Fred Bawden, at whose house
ahe staid one night. was unable to
identify the man, because. of the
twollen and distorted features of the

Was Visiting Relatives.

Moseley told BaWden four mon,hs
ago. that he had been visiting rela-
tives in Fort Madison and that he was
on his way back to his home in Az
ton, Ill. He was a farmer :, occupa-
ton but worked wherever he coald
find employment. From the fact thu.
ne had only worked half day fo- the
Ice company and then disappeareI
without collecting his pay, wouli al.
most make it certain that the man
found this morning was Moseley. The
body could not have floated through
the third lock gates without being
detected either and as it was only
short distance above the ice house,
It Is probable that the noater is AL
bert Moseley's remains.
In Bad Condition.

held an inquest over the body this
