To Fight-S9.5O.

To fttingly close the four hundredtb
anniversary OF Columbus discovery, Tom
Shivery and Jake Brown agreed 'to do"
one another, and near the hour OF mid
night they sailed forth in search of
fitting arena for the slug. They took
their corners within the town limits, but
this procedure evaded not the vigil of
ourcop, and the gladiators were given
observation-disclosures to fight within the
town limits. Undismayed and undaunted
they moved on, and stepping Ger the
fursoughed boundary of the town in the
neighborhood of the board yard, they
called halt. They tarried not IN words
but each man drew his coat and went at
it, an eye for an eye and toooth for a
too,h." In the meanwhile Bailiff Boulder
haG summoned Sheriff Mckenney from
peaceful slumbers, and together they
hurried to the fighting place. The prin-
cipsls shrank from the strong arm of the
Law and made their escape. On Tuesday
Shigery was arraigned before Squire
Scott, char ged with disorderly conduct,
and fined 50 and costs, amounting TO
$40. The amount being paid the pris-
oner Was released. Brown is keeping

Prohibition in Des Moines, Iowa.

The following testimony in regard to
the practical working aud benefits of
prohibition deserves to be deeply ponder
ed. 1t is from the pon OF John J. Hamil
Nscs. He writes from personal observa-
ton and his statements will carry con.
viction Of their truthfulness and impor-
lance wherever his unimpsachable char
acter, ability and worth are known:
I'm my own city of Dss Moines, have
seen Prohibition, though poorly enforced
do that which is generally accomplished
in American cities would make this
republic model. In ten years city of
90, 600 people ruled by bold, corrupt
and powerful municipal ring with sad
extremes of wealth and poverty, has been
transformed into city of 70, 600 orderly,
prosperous and contented people; with
almost no business failures; with savings
banks piling up large deposits; With last
weeks bank clearances nearly 200 per
=
ponding week OF last year, and this gain
going on constantly; with the working
men, once an engine of misrule, now a
reliable power for honesty in public
affairs; with the better elements easily
in control at all times and carrying all
city elections almost without effort; with
the worse elements discouraged and sub
missive; with churches and schools
dominant, and with nearly 5000 students
enrolled in colleges within the city
limits.
",This did not come without fierce
opposition, riotiug and even assassination
but it has come, and it is what America
needs everywhere, even if it must involve
martyrdom here and there.

On behalf of the trustees Of ths public
( school accept the appropriate gift and
| assure the members of ElktoD Council
that the trustees and teachers appreciate
not only the beautiful flag presented to
the school to. day, but also the patriotic
impulse which prompts the gift. ex-
press the hope that the boys and girls
who, through the bounty of the State
are educated within these walls, will
always honor the flag of their country
which by your kindness floats over them.
You observed the salute that was fired
in honor of the flag. 1t was an appro-
priate ceremony, and should impress us
with the fact that respect for the nations
emblem is not idle sentiment. Under
its starry folds marched the tattered
battalions of Washington who, in the
war of the revolution, achieved American
Independence and indicated American
manhood. 1t floated from the masthead
of the bold privateers who, in the war of
1912, BUNDLED the proud navy of Eng
land.
From Bull Run to Appomatox, upon
a hundred battle fields the deeds of
deathless daring of the American SOL
ders in defence of the flag won the re-
pect and admiration of the civilized
world.
But not only in war has our flag been
consecrated by the blood of heroes, but
in peace it represents TO us our free ill.,
situations which were fashioned by pa
triots who set love Of country above all
else. It is, therefore, the emblem of a
great and free country. Worthy of our
devotion and our respect.
CONGRATULATE you on this day selected
for the presentation. We celebrate to
day the discovery of new Continent by
Columbus four hundred years ago. La
his lifetime be was not appreciated; he
was poor and oppressed, but after four
hundred years we have gathered together
this bright October afternoon to do honor
to his memory.
May we not express the hope that we
may all catch a new inspiration from this
occasion to strive to be better citizens of
this great Republic, and in our day and
generation contribute our part towards
making our common country happy,
peaceful and prosperous, and resolve
always to be true to institutions of which
this flag which now floats above us in
the emblem
