Sioux City Tribune : County attorneys In
Iowa arc completing their reports on the es
tates liable for the Inheritance tux ami are
filing them with the state treasurer. It Is
aAured that this tax will bring great deal
of money Into the state treasury.
Emmelsburg Reporter : The boerd of con
trol has been under a fire of criticism for
reducing the salaries of the employes at
sonio of the state Institutions , but It la to
bo hoped that if they were stiro they were
right before they reduced the salaries , they
will now stand firmly by the reduction they
have made. It Is safe to say that they have
In no Instance reduced the wages below what
is paid by private corporations or Individual
employers for like services and there Is no
good reason why the state should pay more.
If those who are grumbling don't like their
pay , let them give up their Jobu.
Kcukuk Gate City : If Des Molncs wants
the republican state conventions In future
years , It can readily secure them by pro
viding a suitable building in which to
hold them. The capital city Is centrally lo
cated and Its transportation facilities are
entirely satisfactory , but It Is without a hall
or auditorium equal to ( ho needs of a state
convention of Iowa republicans. It Isn'l
creditable to the largest and most centrally
located city In the state that It should be so
woefully lacking In this essential particular

MONUMENT TO SERGEANT FLOYD.
Woadbnry County CltUenN Propone to
Erect a Stone Memorial.
SIOUX CITY , la. , Aug. 21. ( Special. )
The Floyd Memorial association , composed
of old settlers and business men of Woodbury -
bury county , Iowa , and a number of well
known men In different parts of the United
Stales , propose to secure.legislation for the
erection of a handsome monument at the
site of the grave of Sergeant Charles Floyd.
It is the Idea of the association to secure
about $6,000 for this monument and It Is
to servo a double purpose. It Is to be a
lasting memory to the late Charles Floyd ,
the first white man to dlo on the Missouri
river. He was a member of the famous
Lewis and Clarke expedition up the Mis
souri river and died at a point a few miles
south of the present site of Sioux City. The
date of his death was , August 20 , 1804. It
Is also a remembrance of the Louisiana pur
chase. The proposed monument will be
fifty-five feet high and will be appropriately
Inscribed on the tablets at. the base.
The story of the death and three different
burials of Floyd has become history. He
was burled by his comrades in the early
part oft the century on ahigh knoll over
looking the waters of the Missouri river.
Here lay tbo remains of the first white
man to die in the new territory until 18S6.
Then the pioneers of Woodbury county
found that the waters of the river were en
croaching on the grave. They removed the
bones of Floyd bock several hundred feet
from the bank anJ until 1895 the site of
the grave was lost. It was finally found
and once more the bones of the early ex
plorer were exhumed. They now lie under
a fine stone tablet and the exercises at the
grave were very Imposing. Among the men
who are working on the project are Con
gressman Georgu D. Perkins of Iowa , Dr.
Elliott Coues of the Smithsonian institute ,
Prof. Davis Butler , curator of the State uni
versity of Wisconsin , John H. Charles of
Sioux City , president of the association ,
and many others equally prominent Twen
ty-one acres of land will be purchased and.
it will be made Into a beautiful park. Sioux
City Is deeply Interested in the project and
has received encouragement from neighbor-
ing cities and counties.

ullen , city attorney of Reno , bos gone to
Hamburg , la. , as defendant's attorney in
a case which excites great interest here
and which Involves $26,000 and the good
name of one of the best known men in this
lace.
Some fifty and odd years ago Jacob Mc-
KlBfllck , now widely known as the builder
and owner of McKlsalck's opera house and
other extensive Interests here and here
abouts , lived In Fremont county , la. He be
came entangled In a quarrel with a man
named Allen , since deceased. At that time
Allen occupied a room with a man named
orby. Ono night , while In bed with Allen ,
? orby was shot and seriously but not faJ
ally wounded. It was alleged at the time
.hat McKlssIck had done the shooting and
that ho had Intended the bullet for his
enemy , Allen. McKlssIck was arrested and
tried for the crime , but was acquitted. ,
Subsequently McKlssIck came west and '
eventually located at Reno. Ills business
enterprises proved quite successful and the
old gentleman , now 8C years of age and
quite decrepit , is the possessor of lands In
Long Valley , buildings In Reno and prop
erty In Iowa representing , In the aggroJ
gate , a very handsome figure probably i
J50.000.
About a year ago McKlssick made the i
lourney back to Iowa and while visiting
there , it is claimed , admitted that the sup
position of half a century ago , that hs had
tried to kill Allen and had shot the wrong
man , was a fact. McKlssIck avers that hs
made no such statemant or acknowledgment
and strenuously denies its truth , but Forby ,
who In the meantime had removed to Mis-
sourl , beard of the alleged acknowledgment
and has brought suit against McKlssIck for
$25,000 damages and attached property near
Hamburg to cover the amount.
Mr. Jullen has gone to represent McKls
sIck at the trial , which Is expected to come
up in the Fremont county ( Iowa ) court
during the coming week.
