While getting Ready to Go to Gene
terry, Bereaved Father Re-
ceived Telegram from
Brother.
SAD COINCIDENCE, THIS
Thereon D. Chase Has Double sor-
row on the First Annivers-
airy of the Death Of
His Father.

While getting ready to leave the
house for the cemetery, to bury his
baby boy, just one year after the
death of the child's grandfather,
Thereon D. Case received a telegram
from Missouri asking him to come at
once to his brothers bedside, who
was dying.
This was the coincidental sad blow
OF a Keokuk man on New Years at.
ternoon, when all of these things hap
pened in the Case family.
The death of little Joseph Case was
noted in this paper and the funeral
was held on Saturday afternoon from
the family home. The date of the
funeral was just one year after the
death of the child's grandfather and
this was quite coincidence in the
cas-.
| After the service at the house, while
the funeral party was preparing to
! leave the home for Oakland cemetery
to bury the little body in the family
Hot. a messenger boy arrived, bearing
a message for the bereaved father.
The message was from Peaksville,
| Mo, announcing that Mr.. Cases broth
er there was not expected to live,
and asking him to come at once to
This dying bedside.
During the day, efforts were being
made at Peaksville to call up Keo-
kuk over the telephone and give the
news of the fatal illness of Mr.. Case,
while from Keokuk, efforts were be-
ing made to reach Peaksville over the
! telephone and inform the Mr.. Case
1 there of the death of his little
nephew. Neither telephone message
could be sent through on account OF
wire troubles and both Case homes
were plunged into sadness and unable
to communicate with the other one
Finally the telegram was received
/ here, arriving at the house just as the
funeral service was completed and the
journey to the cemetery was starting
i Mr.. Case, under his double weight
of sorrow and on the anniversary of
his fathers death and the date of his
child's funeral, prepared to go to
Peaksville to see his brother for the
last time in life, and went to Peaks
Vile.
4 Troubles never come singly, SO the
old saying goes, and this was truly the
case in this family.

National Bill to pass,

Il believe that rivers and harbors
bill will be passed carrying an appro-
priation of from thirty to sixty million
dollars This bill will be along the
line of conservation of our national
resources, and not in any sense a
pork barrel Congressman Kennedy
continued
"As bit of history it might be of
interest to remark that two rivers and
harbors bills were vetoed by Presi-
dents Garfield and Cleveland. Sena-
tn Thomas Carter of Montana talked
one bill to death in memorable flow
o. words in order to save President
Mckinley from vetoing it. In those
days there was public sentiment ex.
ist:ng against bills of this character
ABut in recent years, since Senator
burton took the lead is the matter
there has been no money wasted in
river and harbor Improvement work
Projects that are not clearly feasible
are not undertaken.
THE public hearings close January
ii. and we expect to have the bill in
readiness to bring to the house by
February II Congressman Kennedy
stated
AS member of the rivers and har
bors committee of the house Congress
man Kennedy is in a position to put
forth effective efforts to secure the
appropriation for the beginning of the
Six foot channel project on the upper
Mississippi river which will bring bach
to the river its old time commercial
importance.

Congressman Of First Iowa District
Should Reap Results of His
Splendid Work During
Congress Session
BILL is BEING FRAMED
Everything is Expected to Soon be
In Readiness to Lay Bill for
Appropriation Before
Congress.

Congressman Charles A. Kennedy,
of the First Iowa district, was a Keo-
kuk visitor Saturday. He departed
last evening for Washington to be
there at the converting of congress on
January 4. Before coming to Keokuk
the congressman spent a short visit
in Burlington with the result that the
Hawk-Eye published the following in
teresting interview:
Il do not look for lengthy session
and 1t is the concensus of opinion that
congress will adjourn by the middle
Of May Mr.. Kennedy stated.
Perhaps the most important legisla-
ton affecting the people of this sec
ton of the country, that is due to be
brought up, is the rivers and harbors
bill. Congressman Kennedy is the
only member of the last named com
mittee from the upper Mississippi riv-
er and he is therefore in position
to be Of vast service to every interest
in the cities along the river.

Bio Boost for Cities,

A Hawk-Eye reporter requested the
congressman for information relating
to the prospect of securing additional
appropriations to extend the work of
improving the stretch of river from
Minneapolis to st. Paul, embraced in
the six foot channel project 1.-THE
Tawney bill which provides for $780,
100000 appropriated in ten yearly in
stallments is being pushed" Mr.. Ken
nedy stated. "The engineers have APP
proved the work and there is no doubt
in my mind that an increase in river
traffic will accompany the work Bet
ter terminal facilities for steamboats,
will, of course, be required, but a per-
manent six foot channel will be OF
enormous value to the commercial in
terests OF the upper river cities and to
the entire country bordering the big
stream"

Is The wild Pigeon Extinct?

Chief Game Prnsector Joseph
Kalbfus says on good authority that
the passenger or wild pigeon is ex-
tinot in the United Stairs. That
while many have written they have
seen them yet inve-tigaii n has
proven that ths birds were turtle
doves, the band tail pigeon or some
other bird. The pigeons suddenly
disappeared along in the late seven
ties. when, previous to that time,
thousands were seen every spring
and fall and mystery. has always
surrounded the matter. He says:
"Many reasons for the disappear
anoe of the pigeon have been made;
the one that seems to be the most
plausible to me Is that during the
time when ihess birds were every
where, there was a horde Of preda.
tory birds and aninals living upon
them, follow Ing them up and down.
in their passage through the country
For some reason during the y al
1879 vast numbers OF these birds
were destroyed either by disesse OF
by being blown to sea In the Pacific,
sailors reporting that they saiiesl sor
many hours through fiating dead
pigeons. This, it seems to q Q. de
pleted the sapply - such AN extent
that those rrmainirR were not able
to withstand the attacks of theil
many enemies and gradually fell y
prey to those enemies until they be
came extinct"

explain the fact it is at least plausi
