f. s. Sternberg and A. P. Love.t Of
Fort Madison. came here yesterday to
Identify the body and late yesterday
afternoon Mr. sternberg telephoned
Mrs. Baggert. The description given
to her led her to believe that 1t was
the younge- Gabbert but the absence
OF scar on the cheek OF the dead
man rather dispelled this belief.
The body was found about nine
O'clock by Ed. and VIM. lobe, and a
man working with the government
boats near the point declared that it
was that of Butler. The body was
swollen and the face had begun to
decompose. 1t was Impossible to iden-
tify the man from his face. Mr..
Iovett was of the opinion that 1t was
the body of Butler.
When the clothes of the man were
searched $1.92 in money was found,
button hook with Fort Madison
firms name on it, and a few trinkets
He had on a gray coat with black
stripes. brown corduroy trousers and
heavy artic rubbers.
Otis Gabbert was aged %, Ray Cab.

er opposite Fort Madison where the

rowly escaped drowning at that time.

The Nauvoo steam ferry has begun
to make regular trips, being placed in

good news broadcast that Nauvoo is
again connected with the outside

Nauvoo, ILL.,, April 1913.

In some parts Of this county people
assert that the farmers want better
roads, We will have good roads
leading into Nauvoo when all the
farmers unite in the work and not
until then.
There are ramors In Nauvoo that
you will have to pay higher rent for
the house you are about to start out
to hunt.
The sweet girl graduate will not be
in evidence in Nauvoo this year. Our
high school will not turn out gradu-
ate of either sex.
The country roads in the vicinity
of Nauvoo are bad enough, as every
body knows, but they are little if any
worse than some that can be found
within the corporate limits of Nauvoo.
This confession comes hard, but we
hasten to put it on record for fear
Nauyoo's local papers may beat us to
1t.
One of Nauvoo's young men has
the ''whiskey whispers" whatever that
may be. 1t is said to be complaint
caught by drinking the blooming
booze.
The Nauvoo state bank has just
printed q condensed statement of the
financial condition of the institution
which shows that the deposits are
rapidly approaching the million dol
lar mark. Under the conservative
management Of Messrs. A. ]. Schneid-
er and Elmer Fisher the people of
Nauvoo and vicinity have the utmost
confidence. The bank has gain of
over $4,000 in deposits which was re-
ceived under the half moon in the
wire cages during the past year.
Up to the present nothing much is
being heard regarding the girls who
are to form part of the regular an
nual June bride crop. Nevertheless
there is going to be a crop of them
this year. For the benefit of the read
ers of the Nauvoo Gate City we wish
to state that the girls are laying low
at present and don't seem to care
whether people know about their
June marriage or not.
The apricot trees are in bloom and

ECHOES AWAKENED BY
AN OLD-TIME CANNON
Piece of Artillery With a War Record
Is Discharged by Prankish Boys
at University.

Dumb since the civil war, a brass
cannon on the university campus awuk-
ened the echoes of the east bench with
its brazen boom at clock last night.
The piece was loaded and discharged,
evidently by students, as q Halloween
prank.
Fifteen windows on the west side Of
the machine shop, against which the
cannon lay, were shattered by the con-
cussion. Night Watchman August An
derson saw three youths in the neigh
borhood shortly before the explosion
was heard, but could find no trace Of
them afterward.
A ramrod devised from broom
stick was found, as were pieces of rag
used as .wadding and blown to some
distance by the charge Of powder. The
inside of the muzzle was blacke kened and
the smell of powder in the neighbor-
hood was strong. A brick in breast of
the wall was dislodged by the impact
OF the cannon breach as it recoiled.
Patrolmen Keddington and Patteu and
Chauffeur Brown responded to call for
the police, but to no purpose
