q The Secretary of State of Iowa, has de-

ed in the last county. In letter dated Aug 20,
~ VIC learn through the Fairfield Sentinel, the
Secretary says that he has not been Informed that
tie laws were not distributed in all the organized
counties by the LIST Of July.
If the fact of the Secretary refusing to make
and publish his certificate of the time when the
Code was distributed in the las, county, would
be conclusive Of the fact that it went into effect
on the LIST Of July, we would be inclined to think
that he has done right in publishing no certificate
But If the code was not published in several Of
the counties for some time after the LIST July and
if that fact can be shown in the courts, in any of
the legal proceedings instituted to try the valdi-
~ OF the elections under it, we are very much
afraid that great confusion and perplexiy will be
the result II there was no authority 10 elect the
County Judge on the first Monday of August.
then all proceedings before heCoauty Courts held
by that officer, are Illegal and VOID.
Would it not be the better way TO dismiss all
question Of the validity of the elections, and as
the Secretary Of State has not published any GER
ti6cate. to take il for granted that The Code was
distributed, published. and in force, on the first
Of July? The people of the State viii be saved
a great deal of trouble, which will inevitably be
the result of the elections, under the Code being
declared void.

disease was typhoid fever, contracted durin.

of the month of July in The new and recently SET

on the 9Th. His disease bafled the kind attention
of friends and all the skill of his Physicians. and
he fingered until the 30th, when he died in great
peace, ana IN the trumphs of Christian faith.
Henry STARR was born in Litchfeld county,
Connecticut, in March, t1S'; ne was graduate
of William College, Massachusetts. He was adj
mitted 10 the Bar in Connecticut, and In 1918 re-
moved to the West. He practicrd law with dis
tincticn and success in Madison AMI adllccat
counties in Illinois, until 1926, when he removed
to Cincinnati, and resumed the practice III that CT
ty. lie was eminently successful in his profess
sion. the study of which he ever prosecuted with
zeal and unusual application. His unbending in
tegrity secured him unlimited coafiJeRce-and
cases of great complication and difficulty were
often referred for final decision to him, asSocat-
ed with the distinguished Charles Hammond-es
pecialiy Insurance cases--a branch of the law in
which he was profund. He was remarkably tenn
perate and abstemous in his habits: ard in all
tons sigually exempiiiei all the Christian vir-
tues. He ever had an aversion 10 the turmoil Of
politics. and steadily declined office, though Of
ten solicited. He was beloved by all young men,
to whom he was ever ready 70 lend helping
hand. In his charities he was unboundei, and II
may well be said in the language of Woo(sey;''he
will have tomb of Orphans tears wept on him."
He leaves widow, and four step children of
hers by a former marriage. Though they were
unavoldably prevented from being present with
him in his last moments, it will be some relief to
them to know that he received every kind and con-
siderate attention which could possibly serve to
cheer and console him in his sickness. His funeral
was attended on yestcriayfrom theCongresational
Church, in this city, by large assembly. The
funeral services were performed by Rev. W. Sal

Riots in New Orleans.

On the arrival Of the Empire City at New Or
leans, on the 21st August, with the news of the
killing of the captured Americans at Havana, the
passions Of portion of the citizens were greatly
excited. Tie feeling took strong turn against
Spaniards residing in the city, some of whom
We're reported TO have used offensive language to-
wards the dead, and TO have exulted over their
fate. The Spanish Consul and the Office OF the
Spanish newspaper were special objects OF re-
sentiment. 4 small! party Of the rioters entered
the office Of the paper and destroyed the forms
and presses, and threw the type into the street.
The mob next employed itself in assailing stores
and shops kept by Spanarts, and destroying their
contents. The rioters are stated to have been
chiefly of the loose population of the city. The
city authorities at first were surprised and did
not seem TO know the extent of the danger. Some
fifteen or sixteen houses were Quilted by the mob
before the police interfered. The same scenes
were witnessed on the succeeding day and night.
One Spaniard named Font, who has been citi-
zen of the United States for more than twenty
years, lost all his property including $4,000 IN
money, which he had Just drawn from his banker
to purchase piece piece of land near the city.
Portions of the city were kept in qnetness by
Tie military, but the exertioas Of the Mayor and
the police seem to have been entirely Intellectual
20 restore or maintain order during five days.
TAe principal streets were thronged with rioters,
and the property Of Spaniards was destroyed in
all directions. The Spanish Consul after having
been burnt in efiigy, resigned his Office and left
the city, committing the Spanish residents to the
care OF the Censuls Of Great Britain and France
Tie excitement against the Consul was produced
in the first place, by his refusal to deliver up let
tiers in his possession from the persons executed
at Havana. to their friends and relatives. These
letters, the Consul states in his Justification, he
deemed il his duty TO forward TO the State De-
partment at Washington, along with other prop
erty, as the law requires shall be done with the
effects of deceased persons, coming into his pos
session.
One account states that the Consul was COM
PEELED to take refuge from the fury of the mob in
the Jail, and that about 1000 men surrounded the
building and threatened 10 demo.ish il unless he
was delivered up TO them. At The latest accounts
from the city. the riot was not quelled, and the
destruction of the property of sPaniards Was
still going on.
