opinion thai It would bo both fatr nnd dcslr-

especially in Louisiana nnd Mississippi ,
whoso projectors nnd principals nro nt this

distribution of pamphlets and other methods ,
in inducing Immigration through the mc-
illum of Btnto fairs and other public galhor-
Ings , wowish to state to all interested
who inlcht bo Induced to visit this country
that the most of the representations made In
the Interest of several of thcsa colonization
schemes'aro founded on misrepresentations
and with absolute Intent to defraud
to the uttermost such ns lend carte
to tholr seductive ntalemenU. In every
Instance theSe colonlrcd lands throughout
Louisiana nnd Mississippi have up to the
date of ( heir purchase for colonizing schemes
by their projectors , who bought them at
merely nominal prices , been con
sidered worthless by thd natives ana
have for many years remained as commons
and doyotcd to general pasturing purposes.
Lnrpo tracts of worthless lonas have been
bouphtupby unscrupulous speculators at n
few cents nor aero nnd listed nt $3 to $ .10 per
ncro. It wilt cost nn aaditlonal sum of about
$50pcrncro to clear the land of roots nnd
nine stumps and to fertilize it. A number of
immlgranlH have already been swindled In
this manner , nnd It Is to prevent others from
putting tholr money Into thcsD schemes that
the above is written.

DBS MOINCS , la. . Sept. 8. [ Special to Tns
Bnn.1 The success of the stnlo fair Is scon
in the smiles of nil the falrdlrcctors. It was
ono of the greatest financial successes in the
hutorv of Iowa folra. For several years the
experiment was tried of putting the fair on
wheels and moving it about from city to city ,
the satno ns tbo supreme court usod.to . bo
moved about , but the Itinerant fair was novbr
n success. No permanent improvements could
bo made , The places selected Usually were
not largo enough to give the fair such local
patronage as It needed , and the agricultural
society found itself In debt each year. Then
it xvas decided to como to the capital and
iniiko the fatr n permanent Institution hero.
The result has amply proved the wlsdcui of
the decision. It has made money every year
since the chnnpo was made , DCS Molncs
being the largest city in the state , It gives it
a largo local patronage , whatever people out
side may do. Then its central location and
uncijuatud railroad facilities innko it moro
accessible than it would Oo nuywhoro else ,
and pcoplo from all over the state can como
hero and find other attractions besides the
fair. Last year was regarded as a very favorable -
vorablo time for the fatr , as the \voathor was
pleasant all through It , but this year the ot-
tenUnnco has boon so much greater thai the
receipts arc $10,000 larger than they over
have been before.
Iowa Is celling to bo n great state for
fairs , expositions and carnivals. The great
display of King Scul Om Bed in the streets
of tills cily during the past wock surpassed
expectations. It drew tons of thousands of
pcoplo to the city and was a great advertise *
mcnt for Des Moincs and n groat- assistance
to tlio fair. The people seem lo like to bo
treated by demonstrations that please the
eye and ear.
The success of the Creston Blue Grass
palace is also astonishing. The pcoplo of that
busy llttlo place have hardly recovered from
their surprise , for tbo attaadanco wout way
beyond their calculations. This was the first
year for the Hay palace , and Creston is only
a small city , so that ttiosuccess of the enterprise -
priso is all the moro remarkable. When the
gates were opened there was a debt of
4J1,000 hanging over the undertaking. In
the two weeks of the festival that debt was
till wiped out , every cent of expenses was
paid and there was a surplus of so mo 1,000
or $5,000 in the treasury. The pcoplo of
Creston will therefore- make their Hay oar-
nival a permanent Institution and Jiavo a
liner anil larger display next year. '
The Corn palaceat Sioux City is tlio third
conspicuous success m the exposition lino.
It has nlso become an established feature
and its display is moro attractive each suc
ceeding.year. So with the Hay palace in
southwestern Iowa , t.ho carnival or Sonl Om
Sed and the state fair at Dos Moincs , and the
Corn palace in northwestern Iowa , the poo-
nlo have n pretty good opportunity to bo en
tertained in the festival line each year.
A. Hitter Senatorial Fight.
DBS MoiNE3 , la. , Sept. 8. [ Special to Tnn
Bun.1 The sonatoriil fight in the district
composed of Wright , Hamilton and Hardiu
counties , is attracting considcrablo atten
tion through the state. The convention that
was to nominate- some republican for senator
mot at Webster City last week , but after a
lively whirl in which everybody became
pretty well excited , adjourned to meet again
October 1. There were at the beginning of
the preliminary contest two candidates for
senator , Mr. McMurray , of Hamilton
county , and Mr. Ellsworth , of Hardin
county. The light between them was very
bitter and each strove for the vote of Wright
county , which bold the balance of power. At
this juncture Wright thought it had a chance
to run in a man of its own , and then the
others fought for Wright's second choice.
The consequence was a reaction when the
convention mot , ono faction withdrawing
and holding a second convention , and so two
sots of delegates were sent from Wncht to
the senatorial convention. That convention
last week was a very unruly body and ad
journment was taken to allow the elements
to cool down , with Iho hope that by October
1 a boiler feeling might pro vail. There seems
to be no special issue involved in the candi
dacy of any of tbo men , save that each is
ambitious and his friends want him to win ,
and the light has thus rrrown upon its own
intensity. Either candidate would make a
good senator , so the balance of the stale
looks OH with complacency , hoping that no
bad blood will remain after the contest is
over. It is not improbable that the result
will bo finally the nomination of some man
who has not been connected with either of
the lactions.
Pharmacy Law Violations.
DES MOINE'S , la. , Sept. 8. [ Special to Tnn
BKE.J The pharmacy commissioners are
still finding people who scam to think that
anybody can sell drugs and medicines if ho
wauts to. Ono interview with the co-ntnis-
sionors , however , satisfies them that they
were mistaken. Commissioner Snider , of
Griunoll , has just returned from Humboldt
county , where ho found A. W. Trout , presi
dent of the Trout Medicine company , dis
pensing' medicine as an itinerant without n
license. Ho showed him the error of bis
ways and Mr. Trout took out a license.
University Studoitt * Rcturnlntr.
IOWA Cur , la. , Sept. S. [ Special to THE
BEB.J Students are arriving every day , and
the state university has begun to wake
up the life of this quiet town. 'During the
summer vocation savorul Improvements have
been made that will add to the convenience
of students. T bls Is especially true In the
law department. The room In which tbo
seniors formerly recited has boon remodelled ,
and tbo room devotoa to the juniors has been
reseated , so that a larger uumbor than over
before can bo accommodated. The changes
wore much needed , for this department of
tno university is growing larger every year.
Some changes have been niada In the room
whora the law library is placed. There Is u
now floor , now colling and now shelf ar
rangement. There will bo but llttlo change-
in the faculty. Prof. Dunton will "bo super
seded by Eugene Wancbaugh as resident
professor in ttio law department. Dr.
Scliaffor , president of the university , is doing
llnoly and his work meets wjth very general
approval. Ho is getting the run of things
now pretty well ana every department shows
tlio result of having a young man of Ufa ,
energy and high character at the head of tbo

time ago , it is reported , the president of tbo

haired man and a church member , obtained
the services of a young lady raised In Lenox
as cashier. For about a month all wout well ,
when the wife of Mr. IJrooks became- jealous
of the fascinating young lady and secured
her discharge. Many storiis derogatory to
the cashier's character were circulated , and
the young lady with her parents are said to
have threatened a suit for damages against
Hanker Brook * . To avoid this the old gon-
tloinan is said to bavo puia the young woman
generous amounts of money. At any ruto ,
the people of Lenox scorned suspicious of the
frollcksome old gentleman , whether the lady
were slandoroJ or not , and withdrew their
deposits , with the result of breaking the
bank.

A lirlbf Synopsis of His Address at
Temple Israel.
The following is a brief synopsis of the
Inaugural address delivered by Rabbi Wil
liam Rosenau , at Temple Israel , oa Friday
evening , ScntcmborO :
On the 28th of Juno , of the present yo.ir ,
occurred the fifth graduation of students
from the Hebrew Union college at Cincin
nati. So largo and imposing an audience ns
had thcu assembled is not often -found at a
similar event. .Representative mon
of the countuy , flowers in profusion ,
anthems most imposing , all added to the
sacred character of that occasion. _ The
learned president of the college invltod'nlno
of us to stop upon the pulpit and bo ordained
as teachers and louder of our holy faith.
With words of encouragement and his
prlcstlv blessing ho pronounced us ordained
rabbis In Israel.
To-night there are airaln festivities in many
synagogues throughout the land , as that
class of nine preach for the llrst lima from
Iheir own pulpits lorlheir own congregations.
As I reflect upon 'tho great task that lies
before mo , I call to mind the words of the
prophet Mulacchl , "For the lips of the priest
are to guard understanding , and the law nro
they lo seek from'his ' mouth , lor a messenger
of Iho Lord of Hos'ti ' is ho. "
The priesl , accordinc lo the prophet of
old , was not onto * Jtooo ! , developed morally
and Intellectually , ' out his development in
these two respects was to surpass that of
the common people so much that they could
regard him as thdir leader. As wo reflect
upon this it seems that no seer or sapu over
defined moro clearlytho relation of preacher
and congregation tlan ( did the prophet Mai-
acchi , The minister is to direct man's
course. Ho is to.gu.ido him carefully so that
ho may not lose his/foothold. Ho is to spouk
to us of the loft.vtdoftrines of our holy re
ligion , relate to ua its marvelous history and
call our atlontion to tnaduties wo ewe our
neighbor , our parents and our God. He
is to rejoice when wo rejoice , com
fort us in sickness , console us when
death comes to- usfnnd < inculcate a firm
belief in the existence of the life to como.
But is this the oxtqptof his usefulness , or
docs bis sacred oftico impose other responsi
bilities upon him ! /There is a great differ
ence of opinion existing regarding the exact
scope of a pastor's duties' . The moro liberal
nnd progressive element of society Buppose
the pastor to be engaged in solving the ab
struse questions propounded by the numer
ous opponents of religion , and ho must fur
nish the devotee with arguments to ward off
the attacks of the onemy.
As a minister of a Jewish congregation ,
the rabbi must lake it upon himself to dis
cuss the questions that are of vital
import to Judaism. Ho must impress
upon his congregation the fact that ours is
not a stationary religion , but n religion
of progress. The rabbi must nlso bo n Icc-
turor. Ho must treat of topics of the day ,
upon which ho may have something to sav.
There are questions which come up daily
which must Do brought before tbo people
for serious consideration. In doing this is
the rabbi inaugurating an innovation ! Go
back to the earliest times , when priests ,
prophets , and sages stood in the van of Israel ,
nnd note how. in addition to pointing out. the
paths of religion , they express their opinion
on the best forms of government. Up to
this day have the preachers and leaders in
Judaism endeavored to spread such knowl
edge as would elevate and educate man
kind.
kind.DiQlcult
DiQlcult In tbo extreme Is the rabbi's ' po
sition on account of the variety of
opinions as to hit exact duties. The
membership of his congregation are
the ones upon whom ho depends for assist
ance in his work. Every congregation , must
manifest a ycarnincr to bo instructed to bavo
its minister feel that his efforts are appre
ciated.
To-night , Temple Israel , you and I form a
bond of union that is most sacred in its
character. It is a band consecrated to the
cause of the ono and eternal Go.l. Duties
devolved upon us both respectively which
wo must strive to carry out. With such con
ditions and relations always existing , the
word of the pulpit will be realized among
us. For this letus hope and pray. As wo
are to-night , let us always DO , that our
congregation may prosper and become a
congregation worthy of imitation in all re *
sprcls .1 congregation of progress and ad
vanced thought.

ASKING SOMESHARP QUESTIONS.
The Alllnnco CntocliMne All Iho
Cnndlilntcn For the llnwkoyo
Governorship Knoh Ann-
ions to Satisfy.
Hnwkoyo I'olltlos.
Dns MOIXBS , la. , Sopt. 8. [ Special to Tnn
line. ] Will It bo Uolcs or Anderson ! Is the
question the democratic politicians nro ask
ing themselves just now. The ' 'slough
water" districts nnd the nlllnnco wing of the
parly drcldedly prefer Anderson for gov
ernor , but the counties like Dubuque , which
give the heavy democratic majorities , nro
moro favorable to the former.
Mr.Boios is a good serb of a follow , dis
tinguished principally for his intense hostility
to prohibition. Ho was formerly n repub
lican , and wont ever to the democrats on
that Issue. His residence in Waterloo , n
strong railroad town , would lndlcatothnt , ho
is n strong favorlto with the corporations ,
nnd if this influence rules the Stoux City con
vention , Mr. Boles wilt qulto likely bo the
nominee.
Major Anderson is n low tariff man nnd
not much of n prohibitionist , nnd his posi
tion on tlicso questions would not
bo in the way , but ho could not
hope to get much corporation support.
Should Anderson run but llttlo help from
this source would bo expected. The demo
crats would bank their chances on his record
as au anti-monopolist , hoping to draw a
largo part of the Wheeler mon into their
ranks. The recent mooting of the State
Farmers' alliance , which was hold In this
cit.v and attended by uoarlv three hundred
delegates , propounded a norlos of very sharp
questions to the candidates for governor nnd
fleulcnantLgovernor , and should the reply
from Hutchinson bo 'unsatisfactory In the
least the democrats stand ready to take nd-
vantapo bf this , and with Anderson as their
standard bearer it can not bo denied that
they would make some inroads into the re
publican ranks. Hutchinson Is too old a poli
tician to bo caught napping nt this stage of
the proceedings nnd'his answer to the alli
ance questions will bo satisfactory in the
main. The anti-monopoly republicans are
fully aware that should the ticket bo do-
feated.thls fall , the corporation press will
charge it to the railroad legislation enacted
tws years ngo , nnd a strong domaud for n re
peal of these lavvs would immediately follow.
For these and other reasons there is not
likely to bo any general stampede to tbo
democratic ranks , no matter whom they may
nominate or what replies Hutchinson may
tuuko to the alliance.
The domocrnls are likely lo lose the as-
sislanco of Iho 10,000 union labor voles IhU
lall. This party has nominated as Its candi
date for governor Hon. S. B. Downing , of
Davis , who is not only opposed to fusion , but
is also strongly prohibitionist. Downing will
neither fuse nor get oft the track , and it now
looks ns if each of these- parties would go it
alone In the coming campaign. Small as the
union labor party is it is not entirely har
monious. The radicals , who live mostly in
the interior and believe in woman suffrage
nnd every other species of crank-
ism , have a war in the convention
every year between the delegates from
Dubuque and other cities. This year Wici-
1m , of Dubuque , was beaten for governor by
n vote of Ul to 70. The nomination of Down-
intr will almost annihilate the party m Du
buquo. where it has cast as high as 500 votes.
E. H. Gillette , of this city , who once rep
resented this district in congress and is now
thoedilorof the greenback organ , has ac
cepted thn nomination for the legislature
from the Ihird party nrchibitiouists and will
probably , bo supported by the few union
labor voters. Thos'o two misfit parties com
bined will notjcut much of a figure , and un
less they have a revival before election will
hardly i > ell over 'JOO votes here. HEX.

O. H. Frltchett on the Grade Con
troversy.
"Councilman McMillan's interview on the
contracts let to ice for grading Twenty-fourth
and N streets , " said Contractor C. H.
Pritchctt , "aro so garbled , defective and
unfair , that I desire you lo
lot the public know Just the
naked facts. I bavo just looked up the
records to refresh my memory , and hero
they are : October ! ) , 1853 , at thp meeting of
the city council the approved minutes.read :
'Motion by Councilman McMillan that the
committee on streets and alloys bo in-
fttruc.Lcu to advertise- for bids for the
grading of Twenty-fourth street from
A to Wyinnn streets. Carried. ' Then
the clerk's minutes of the meeting
held October 15 , read : 'Committee on streets
and alleys report that they had lot the grad
ing of Twenty-fourth street to C. H. Prltch-
ett at 19 > cunts per cnbib yard for excava
tion , and the unfinished work of Peter
Hanson's contract on N street to C. H.
Pritcholt at 23 cents per cubic yard , for ox-
cavulions. Koport adopted.1 Now these
facto alone , fully atlested by Iho
records , nnd approved by Iho ac
tion of the council , fix my case
and make the city's liability certain for the
\vholo yoO.OOO yards contract at ! ! ) } cents.
Then my recollection is that Mr. McMillan
u the man who moved the adoption of the
report. Why he is squirming round in this
matter and encleavorinc to bavo the city defraud -
fraud mo out , of my claim I can not ex
plain. Thobo who know him be
lieve ho has some sinister motive.
But to show that there was not a
doubt aixmt the fairness of my contract
in the mind of a single member of the coun
cil , the following resolution was unani
mously passed February 4 , 1889 : 'Hosolvcd ,
that the city engineer bo instructed to lur-
niKh the council with ail estimate of the
amount pf work clone on Twenty-fourth
street by C..H , Pritchctt , leas the amount
nald by Douglas county ; and resolved that
the city pay the amount of the estimate , as
tlio street is not yet completed , and it
cannot yet bo assessed against the property
owners,1
"To put the whole motler beyond the
question of a moral or legal doubt , on Febru
ary 0 , 1SSU , my claim of W.OOO.Sl was allowed
and my claim was iiu'orscd ' as follows : 'The
within claim Is hereby approved and ac
cepted by the finance committee
and placed on tlio. Finance committee
mittee- approved , February 10 , 18b9. Signed
by John J. U'Uourko and John N ,
Uurko. Mr. McMillan , who was chairman
of the finance committee , was absent , but on
his return from Lincoln said ho would sign
the committees approval of the claim , but as
it bud been signed by a majority of the com
mittee it was perfectly legal and Just as
good as if ho would sign It. "

Mrs. Kraft , of Villlsca , la. , whotlurinc :
that day , were guests nt the big hotel ,
left for u stroll along the banks , accom
panied by their daughter , a young lady
about seventeen years old. With the
party was a young fellow from Doa
Moines , 0. friend of the family , who ,
after much persuasion , induced the
young lady to venture a sail on the lake
in his company. Tno usual formula by
the old party who rents the "boats , "Do
you1 know how to sailV having been an
swered in the anirmativo" by the young
lowan , the douplo ouiTmrkodumid warn
ings from the old folks ashore to be
very careful. Warnings could not

control the winds "thatblow
/ blow , however -
over , and ere the amateur sailor
had gene a dozen bout lengths a
sudden squall struck the craft broadside
nnd capsized her. The young man from
Iowa came 10 the surface first and sootn-
cd to forget all about the girl in bis
charge , striking out for the shore nt a
lively rate. Silent witnesses of the
scone hnd been three hlouscd and pigtailed -
tailed Orientals who stood on the shore.
Relying on the bravery of the lady's escort
cert to rescue her , the Chinamen ex
hibited but a passing interest in the
proceedings , but on witnessing the cow
ardly behavior of her escort the big
gest of the three jumped out of his
blouse fluicker than lightening , faliook
his hooked toed shoos from his loot , and
was alongside the capsued craft before
the other bystanders realized what had
happened. The young lady was rescued
with nothing worse than a wetting , and
amid profuse expressions of gratitude ,
of which ho could not understand a
word , the rescuer1 and his friends do-
partnd. There was u revulsion of feeling
in favor of the Mongol among the people -
plo who witnessed the occurrence , and
expressions of surprise at the bravery
exhibited nnd disgust at the cowardice
of the Hawkeye native were hoard on
all sides.
At the breaking out of the war of the
rebellion there .lived in Now York city
an old lady by the name of Hall. She
had one son Thomas by name. He
being her only child , all her hopes and
prayers were "centered on him. With
them lived her naphaw/Thomus' / cousin.
The two young men were of tin ago and
looked so much uliko that they were
"
frequently taken for twins , and "as fre
quently taken for each other. At the
commoncmont of the war John Ball
for that was his cousin's name enlisted
in a volunteer regimen tund went to the
front for throe years. When the draft
came Thomas was drafted and was
forced to perform a duty which ho did
not relish. Ono day , in quarreling
with his captain , ho shot and killed
him , then fled as ade&orter. Ho was
traced to his homo by a detail trom his
regiment , and when they surrounded
the house and demanded him to
surrender his Cousin John , who had just
boon discharged , gave the discharge
papers to Thomas and surrendered him
self to the squad ns the deserter. His
aunt had always been as kind as a
mother to him , and ho know that tlio
shock of having her son shot as a clo-
serter would break her heart ; also , that
ho had no one to love him , oa Tom had ,
so ho decided to sacrifice his life that
they t o might live together. IIo wus
then taken buck and bore the punish
ment of denth-fOr his cousin's crime.
A large narty of people from \YillInms-

RAINIER AND TACOMA.
How llio Nnnius Wore Flr < t Appllcil
Tln-otloro Wluthron'fl Trip.
The Seattle Journal publishes the
following : "Tho recent visit of the
Hon. S. S , Cox to Seattle rendered pos
sible , curious enough , the settlement
of n vexed question that has. for a long
time boon tlio cause ot a great deal of
dissension and discussion in thla sec
tion of the country. It has settled be
yond all question the fnut that the
proper tmino of the great mountain
which overshadows the entire sound
region is the name which Seattle has
boon in the habit of giving it , namely ,
'Rainier , ' Wo fancy our Tncomn
friends will bo disposed to disagree
witn this proposition , but the proof is
conclusive. Air. Cox brought with him
a map secured from the Congressional
library , published in 1804 , upon
which the western coast is plainly
defined. In the Cascade range of moun
tains n mountain clearly appears to
which the name of Mount Uegniur is
appended. We don't believe that oven
such Ingenious" people ns wo know our
Tacoraa neighbors to bo can go behind
the face of returns such as these. The
evidence is final. All who have any re
gard for history and tradition cannot
fail hereafter to call thoraountatn by
its right name , which is none other
than Itainior.'l
It may bo added that the name Tacoma -

Winthrop's remarkable book , "Tho
Canoe and the Saddle , * ' appeared in
November , 1SOU , says the Portland Oro-
gonian. In I8-V2 Winihrow wont to
Panama for William L. Aspinwall , and
visited California and Oregon the next
year. In August , 18511 , ho was at Puget
Sound , and resolved to return to the
east across the plains. His book , written -
ton in a somewhat sophomorical style ,
but remarkable for its puiUic. im
aginative and descriptive passages ,
gives an account of his voyage
with Indians in a canoe through Puget
sound and his horseback ride ever tlio
Cascade mountains from Nesqually to
the Dulles , with Indian guides. In this
book the great mountain gets the name
' Taconin. " Winthrop professes to have
obtained the name from his Indian
guides , and he gives .his imagination
glay in a supernatural legend of the
mountain. It is probable that the name
"Tacoma" was a result of his oll'ort to
reproduce or imitate a word given him
by his guifles , who were " 1'akima In
dians. and thut the word was a comnion
ono used by these Indians , ns a term for
nil snow-white mountain peaks. The
name of the city of Tncomn was taken
by its founders from Winthrop's boofc.
Winthrop was killed at Big Bethel , Va. .
early in the war of the rebellion , nnd
"Tho Canoe and Saddle , " with otbor
books ho had written , and whioh evi
dently had Klin some time in his desk ,
was published immediately after his
death. Every citizen of Tucoma ought to
read the charming book that furnished
the name for their city , and cvorybody
else , lor that tnattor , ought to read it ,
too. Winthrop wus but twenty-live
when ho visited Puget Sound and passed
through the adventures that he relates
with admirable literary power.
The mountain was named by Van
couver , the man who first discovered
and explored the great inlet called
Putret Sound. Puget was ono "of his
party. To the great mountain peak
east of Puget Sound Vancouver gave
