THE SOUP KITCHENS.

Yesterday $3.50 persons, by actual count, were
puppiied with good wholesome and sustaining
soup ct the eight dtnerent soup Kitchens estao-
Nsned under the direction OF Mr.. L. Delmonico.
Four new soup kitchens were organized yesterday,
opening at ten O'Clock. The poor people Of the
twentieth ward, colored and white, had rs much
soup as they could drink. The best organized
Kitchen Is in the Sixth ward, where 24o gallons of
soup were delivered from ten O'Clock in the morn
ing from two boilers At the Centre street soup
Kitchen the system is perfect, under the superv-
sion OF Mr.. Morgan Jones and Captain Kennedy, OF
the Sixth precinct police. An ot1cer is detailed,
Frank Caddell, who investigates every
case and who will not allow impos-
tors TO obtain the soup. Tomorrow Mr..
Ranho1er will apply to Mr. Delmonico for another
boiler OF 100 gallons to supply the poor of the Sixth
ward. In the Twentieth ward there was q soup
house established in Thirtieth street, next door to
the police station. The soup house was in a base
ment and it was intended for colored people. The
iron kettle contained co gallons Of nne soup made
from the best beef and lentis. Lentils are
very small peas OF coffee color. In
the stables OF the mounted squad, in
Thirty-nrsr street, there was o 12o gal
Ion kettle OF boiling soup at ten O'Clock yester-
day morning. The Eighteenth ward kitchen. in
avenue A. near Nineteenth street, was frequented
yesterday by nearly 800 persons, great number OF
whom were Germans. The soup Kitchen at No. la
Wooster street was crowded late in the day. A
number Of colored people called and carried out
soup to their families. At the East Broad
way soup house, near Market street. the
soup kettle was exhausted at an early
hour, just after noon. This is q thicky
populated district and it will be necessary to have
another l2o gallon boiler Immediately. which VIII
be furnished by Mr.. Ranhorer. The chez VIII lur-
nish mutton and barley broth TO all who may call
ON Sunday at the different soup Kitchens which
are now established IN the Sixth, seventh,
Eiupt TyVa ntiath
wards two soup houses IN this ward. Every day
4 different soup will be furnished 70 the poor peo-
pie, The colored people OF the Twentieth ward
win have gooo soup OF the best beef material
given them-no difference being made where sex,
age or color Is concerned.
IL may be necessary that captains OF police who
are not pressed heavily by police business should
ask patrolmen VINO are on their respective beats
to inform the respectable poor that relief is near
that good soup is at hand, and that no hungry,
weak and famlshed man, out VI work and without
penny in his pocket, or delicate wife, or pUny
and struggling child, used to the streets, can pe
deprived OF n0urlshment Good warm soup will
be furnished to all VINO may ask 1t az the soup

SAGE.

GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE AND
House oE REPRESENTATIVES,:
AT the threshold of your perma-
nent organization it becomes my du
ty to communicate to you "the con-
dition of the State," as | "may deem
cxpedient." The past biennial pc
riod has ona of varied experience to
to the people of Iowa. Prior to the
last four months it had been mark
ed by all the evidences of progress
and prosperity in the social, moral,
and material enterprises which uni
formly characterize an intelligent
and ambitious people. But near
the middle of last September, tinan-
cial disaster prostrated, for the time
being, the commercial interests OF
the whole country. Iowa did not
escape the influence Of the panic,
and it is not now fully recovered
from the business stagnation OF
which it was the precursor. 1t is
! with pleasure, however, that refer
W Ouc ldCI WHICH, tlC ldlc rev ulSlOIl
has made apparent, and that is that
the development of our great II tur-
! al resources, and our growth rs a
state in every element OF wealth,
have reached point which insures
our people for the future from such
entire prostration, helplessness and
distress as followed like revulsion
during the year 1857. This imnu-
nifty from the worst effects of com
mercial disaster is largely attribute,
bic to the fact that Iowa is pre-cmi-
nently an agricultural state. In this
connection it is also cause Of pride
and congratulation to the citizens of
Iowa that the finances Of the state,
as shown by the reports of the Au
ditor and Treasurer, are in most
favorable condition, and promise to
supply every necessary demand up
on the Treasury without embarrass-
ment to the people or recourse to
other measures for an increase of
revenue
