Iowa's Walled Lake.

From the Burlington Hawkeye
The greatest wonder in the state of Iowa. and
perhaps any state, is what is called the walled
Lake" in Wright county, IL miles north of the
Dubuque and Pacific railway, and $50 miles
west of Dubuque city. The lake is from to
feet higher than the earth's surface. In some
places the wall is 10 feet high, Is feet wide at
the bottom, and feet wide on top. The stones
used in its construction vary in weight from
three tons down to hundred pounds. There
is an abundance of stones in Wright county
but surrounding the lake to the extent of or 10
miles there are none. No one can form an idea as
to the means employed to bring them to the
spot or who constructed it. Around the entire
lake is belt of woodland one-half mile in width,
composed of oak. With this exception the
country Is a rolling prairie The trees must
have been planted there at the time of the
building of the wall. In the spring of the year
1856 there was a great storm and the ice on the
lake broke the wall in several places and the
farmers in the vicinity were compelled to re-
pair the damages to prevent inundation. The
lake occupies grand surface of $500 acres;
depth of water as great as IS feet The water
is clear and cold, soil sandy and loamy. It is
singular that no one has been able to ascertain
where the water comes from or where it goes
yet 1t Is always clear and fresh

MONTGOMERY COUNTY POLITICS.
The Democratic Primary Elections
Defeat of German Ring Rule.
Of THE EVENING STAR.


ROCKVILLE, Aug. 8, 1889.
To-day has been q scene of excitement in
Rockville and has almost shaken the confidence
of those who believe in primary elections. From
early morning until night the streets were
lined with voters from the rural districts. As
each came in he was invited to participate in
the FLOWING bowl" Before IL o'clock men
were taken to the polls in beastly state of in
toxication and voted, not for their friends but
for the people who had them in charge. The
following ticket was nominated For controller
of the treasury, l.. Victor Baughman; for state
senate, DR.. Ed. Wootton; for house of dele
gates, Philip d. Laird, Col William Kilgour
and John A. Clements; for county commission
ers, James G. Holland, Joseph NJ. Etchison,
John p. Sellman, Alexander Broome and Rich
ard I. Ray; for Sheriff William III. Carr; for
county surveyor, George NJ. Anderson.
1t is asserted by some of the democrats that
this ticket will not be elected. With the NOM
ination of DIR. Wootton for the state senate
comes the death knell Of ''ring rule" in this
county. The fight has been made upon GER
tain and distinct lines and the victory has been
scored for the opponents of Senator German.

Kansas Militia. Called Out.

Adjt. Gen. Roberts left Topeka, Kan, for
Ravenna yesterday in response to letter from
that place stating that the trouble between
Ravenna and Eminence concerning the final
location OF county seat had again assumed
such serious character as to demand the
presence Of the state militia to prevent con-
fict between the opposing forces. The su-
preme court recently declared Eminence the
legal county seat. A motion for rehearing is
pending and in the meantime the people of
Eminence demand the removal of the records
The Ravenna people object to this and have
arranged to repel the expected attack of their
rivals.

A GOOD WORD FOR THE BOY.
The Messenger Finds An Apologize.


From the Omaha worid-He
The district messenger boy long since took
his place ia the repertoire Of the paragrapher,
with the banana peel, the mother-in-law and
the stove pipe. Ever since he came into exist
ence he has been . favorite butt Of the comic
writers and artists. He is represented as the
embodiment Of laziness and they portray him
as stopping to play games or read dime novels
while on his way to deliver messages marked
important" 1t il all So The messenge loy

ton. But hear his defense.
How would you like to be taken from school
at the age Of ten or twelve years and made to
run errands every day in the year? How much
would you hurry on q day like Monday. for iu-
stance, il they sent you with a letter from q
silly clerk to his sweetheart? II you were four
teen years old and had TO run errands all day,
would you not stop to look in a window at pa

message from a love-stricken Burlington and
Missouri clerk to his Dulcinea. But you come
back to a realization that top time and kite

Officer Kurstner, one of the recently ap-
pointed policeman. was patroling his beat in the
northwest section Of the city last night when he
heard loud noises in church which attracted
his attention and he kept close to the building
In short time he heard piercing screams, and
thinking twas about time to interfere he entered
the church, and, with baton drawn to show his
authority, advanced up the crowded aisles to
the vicinity of the altar. Here he found a
portly sister on the floor excitedly screaming,
and supposing her to be in fit was about to
remove her. Some of the brethren enlightened
him by the information that a revival meeting
was in progress and the sister who had enlisted
his sympathy was only getting religion and
that. therefore, his services were not needed.
He did not stop to discuss the question but
