KEOKUK MAN SEES
BUILDING COLLAPSE
Edward Nj. Dobyns was Standing
Across the Street at Time That
Brick Structure Fell.

Edward M. Dobyns of this city, was
standing across the street from the
building which collapsed yesterday at
Burlington. Mr.. Dobyns heard a snap
ping sound emanating from the build
ing and saw it go down. The build
ing was a three story affair and
was situated on one of the business
blocks of Burlington. The Hawk-Eye
says:
With roaring and rumbling which
startled the entire downtown district,
the old three-story brick building at
ITO jefferson street collapsed yester-
day morning. The building was oc-
cupied by Perry Devine's bird store.
Mr.. and Mrs. Devine lived on the
second floor and the third floor was
unoccupied except by some articles
which were stored there. The acct
dent occurred about 9:45 and three
people were in the building at the
time. Their escape from horrible
death, crushed under tons of brick, is
miraculous. The building had been
condemned the day before and notice
had been served on Mr.. Devine to
move and on the Rock Island railroad
company, the owners of the building,
to tear it down.

SIGNS OF SPRING.


When nature casts her coat of brown
Aside to don her emerald gown:
when crocuses their leaves unfold
To show their calyzes of gold;
When country youths and village
bellies
Go promenading through the dells
where birds of every cline and grade
erect them with joyous serenade;
When tulips open up their bills
To show their dainty frills,
And hyacinths burst through the
cone,
Then we may know that winters
gone.
When violets open up their eyes,
To gaze into the sunny skies;
When lilac blossoms scent the air,
Then we may know that spring is
near.
When robin redbreast calls his mate,
And hops across the lawn in state,
When farmers SOW the golden grain,
Then we may know it's spring again.
When frogs have left their gloomy
hunks,
And greet us with their harsh kerr
chonks,
Their greeting may not charm our
ear,
But we are glad that spring is here.
