While Keokuk has no regularly or

has, for example, still there are many
bird lovers and a few who will follow
a bird half day to study him. Many
keokuk lawns have on them specially
constructed basins where the birds

Of the water power men who has

that he never saw city which had
such variety of insect life as Keo-

does not behoove Keokuk to cultivate
a love for birds and to encourage
their staying here.
Recently over in Kenilworth, Ill.,,

befriending the wild birds, our
friends and neighbors,' tabulated the
following statistics of actual damages

NO WRITING IN POCKETS

A foater was found this morning
along the river bank near the Taber
Lumber company's planning mill. Luke
Brown found the fioater and immed'
lately notified the Office Of Coroner
Korschegan. The body was found to
be in such badly decomposed con-
dition that immediate burial was nee
essary. There was not line of writ
ing in the effects in the dead mans
pocket, but rose tattoed In the skin
at the base Of the thumb on the left
hand, furnishes good means OF
identification.
The body found was that of man
evidently between fifty and sixty
years OF age. 1t was evident that he
had not been shaved for at least
week before he was drowned. His
hair was black, and he wore close
cropped mustache which was streak
ed with gray. 1t was found on ex-
animation that the upper set of teeth
was false.
There was over s12 found in the
mans pockets. This leads to the be-
lief that perhaps the drowning was
accidental Ten dollars of this was
in a bill and there was two dollars in
silver and some loose change, besides.
The man was possessed of razor,
looking glass, matches, two handker-
chiefs, chewing tobacco and an open
faced silver Waterbury watch.
The fioater was dressed in blue
soft shirt, brown trousers and the
coat was dark blue with stripe run
ming through the weave. The shoes
" ere fairly new and were good.
The most promising Identification
mark however, was the rose tattoed
on the left hand at the base Of the
thumb. This rose was almost per-
feet picture of the real flower and
was tattoed into the skin
The body was swollen and 'bloated,
giving evidence Of its having been in
the water for long time. The ques-
ton of where it came from is bother
ing the authorities now. So far as
can be learned there have been no
drownings as far north as Burling-
ton within the last few weeks, where
the body was not recovered. sr

apparel than 1t is in these two ex-
quisite hats. Full-blown roses, Of the
large garden variety, are used on both

shows a marvelously clever and orig

millinery materials. 1t is made OF
black silk braid and blue satin rib
bon over the lightest of frames. There
is a finish of horsehair braid forming
a ruffle about the brim edge. The
materials are put on the frame in the

braid alternating with band of rib

thin satin In black.

In other cases the entire toque is COW
