Nh. MORTON introduced in t

Nh. MORTON introduced in the
Senate, last week, resolution look
ing to an investigation Of the manner
in which the late election in Missis-
sippi was conducted, in order to see
whether it was fraudulent or other
wise. In introducing his resolutions,
Mr.. Morton made statement of some
very curious and suggestive facts
He said:
"In 1869, at the election On the adoption
of the constitution, the total vote was
ia 1888; in 1872, at the Presidential cleo
ton, 1919 ,463; in 1878, the last Congress
sional election, 1T ,94S, and at the recent
election, 1913 ,565-an increase of more
than $4,000 over the highest vote ever
given before. The Republican majority
in the State in 1869 was 3S,0S9; in 1872,
81 ,9S7; in 1878, 22,976, and at the recent
election the Democratic majority was
3O,147 The total Democratic vote in
1869 was 3S,O97; in 1872 it was 47,2SS;
in 1873 it was A, 2S6, and in 1875 it was
5000
He read from Democratic news
papers of Mississippi, facts showing
the intimidation that was practi ed
there, and the complete revolution in
the vote of certain districts and pre-
cincts, changes that could not be ac-
counted for on any natural or legiti-
mate hypothesis.
The resolution met the ferce and
determined opposition Of the Democ-
racy, who have the best kind of rea-
son for suppressins inquiry as to the
means by which their triumph was
accomplished in Mississippi. Sena-
tors Thurman and Bayard found it
necessary to 60 back on the record of
their votes and speeches in reference
to investigation Of Republican rule
in Louisiana. They coul / loudly de-
mand the uncovering of Republican
abuses, but find it convenient to
solemnly protest against centraliza-
ton and violation of States rights
when the rascalities of their own
friends are to be exposed.

BUSINESS CHANGE.--The widely

hardware branch of their business to
Messrs. Miller s Slower, late of Lena,

come to Upton because they see it
to be good business location, are
experienced in the business which
they have undertaken and have the
capital necessary to carry 1t on in the
most full and complete manner.

Mrs. JOHN H. STARR, = very old
and highly respected resident Of Tip
ton, died at the residence of her
daughter, Mrs. 5. P. Foy, on last
Sunday evening, April 4th. Mrs.
Starr returned to Upton last week
Tuesday, from Columbus, Ohio,
where she had for some time been
living with sister. Growing i'll
there, she pinned for her Iowa home
and Mr.. Foy went and brought her
hither. She expressed great pleas
ure to be again ut home and with her
children, but one short week after
her arrival they. were sadly fol-
lowing her remains to their last rest
ing place.
We have no data at hand from
which to make any proper obituary
notice Of the deceased; but we know
that Mr.. and Mrs. Starr were among
the very early settlers Of this vicinity,
and that through their long residence
here they were loved and respected
for many sterling qualities. A little
over a year ago Mr.. Starr laid aside
the burden Of life, and now husband
and wife lie side by side in the silent
city Of the dead.

OLDEST Books IN IowA.-We
have observed in several Of our re-
cent exchanges claims made that
some person in their vicinity was the
fortunate possessor of the oldest
printed book in the State, in respect
to which the Iowa State Press re-
marks that "the oldest hook men,
toned in the controversy dates only
from the last years of the sixteenth
century, and that it is fair to say that
still older books are not so very rare
in Iowa that they are entitled to be
called curiosities.'
The conclusions of friend Irish are
correct, as we can prove right here in
Upton, beyond the shadow of
doubt, for while in Judge Tuthill's
library few days ago we saw at
leas. twenty-five or thirty venerable
looking tones in which the date of
publication was from 1921 to 1899.
Among these were complete set Of
the YEAR Books, e3itio priaceps,
1855 to 1915, printed by Richard
Tottell, all ancestor of the Judge.
But there were some still more
antique looking volumes, three at
least dating in the fifteenth century,
that we make q note Of: One, a well
preserved copy of DIcroNARluM
GRAEcUx, in Greek and Latin, one
of the celebrated Aldine editions,
printed in Venice in l491, in the
original binding of old stamped vel
lum, and beautiful specimen of
typography, printed as all books
we're at that early period, without
catchwords or paginations.
Another, copy somewhat imper-
feet, of PLINIUs Jun, ErIsToLAE,
printed by Moravus, Naples, 1897,
which by note on the fly leaf seems
to have been sold at the Mark Sykes
sale for GS.8; and copy Of Angus
TlNus DE CIvlTATE Del. printed at
Venice in l475. This copy once be-
longed to the celebrated Miss Currer
and has her book plate. 1t appears
to have been purchased at the Heber
sale.
When it is remembered that some
of these books date back to within
twenty Eve years of the discovery of
the art of printing, their value and
rarity, as well as the strong proba-
bility that the young State of Iowa
can produce nothing more antique,
will be appreciated.

THE PEARsALL SIsTEHs.--The con-
cert at the City Hall last Saturday eve
ming by this troupe was not very well
attendcd--not quite so well, perhaps.
as the character of the entertainment
deserved. The fact is, although the
girls are real artists upon the violin,
the concert can not be called sue
cess. The programme lacks some
thing of variety, and the performers
lack greatly in stage address--going
ut their music making with a grave
yard kind Of solemnity which is dis
piriting, if not demoralizing. to II
audience. Notwithstanding these
foibles, the violin performances Of
the young girls were very fine, al
most marvelously 50; aud We shall
expect to hear of them in the future
among the popular concert givers.
