Adolph W. Kaeebler of Alpine, Tex., It a
valued friend of the Omaha- Board ot Park
Commissioners ami has supplied many ot tho
animals kept In Hlvcrvlcw park. Kawbler
lives In the wildest part of Texas, not far
from tho Mexican line, aud Is a reptile and
animal trader. For several years ho has
been ono of Commlwiloiier Cornish' mojt
regular correspondents, and It Is Indeed a
lull week when the thrifty German dots not
a tlfy the board ot some animal he has for
ale.
Kasebler's letters aro cbaractcrliod chiefly
by their brevity. Frequently he will wrlto
not more than half n d02cn words In answer
to some Inquiry from tho board. His writ
ing Is much llko G.fman script and his
nolllne Is more unusual than the phonella
brigade. Tho letters 'from Kasobler are so
highly prized thnt Mr. Cornish declares h
111 go to see tho old German If he over
gets within 500 miles ot Alpine.
During tho last winter Katcblcr had a
bear for sale which was of a brown color
and was supposed to bo a clnnatnou bear.
black bear has been ono of tho happy
family at Hlvervlew tor so'me time, but th
park board was anxious to tccuro a cinna
mon bear and wroto to discover whether the
Texas animal was the genulno article. Tho
following letter from Kascbler cstuo In an-

When a prima that had been purchased
from the Texan died, ho wrote the following
