ished granite seventy-fve feet in height,
and this in turn is surmounted by a
figure of Victory fifteen feetlin height,
which stands with outstretchcd arm
holding wreath of laurel for the Iowa
soldier. In front of the five Corinthian
columns at each corner stands q soldier
of heroic size, the four representing the
arms of the service-thc infantry, cav
airy and artillery soldier and the sailor.
Above at the base of tho column are
four equestrian figures of heroic size,
the riders being men who distinguished
themselves in command of our Iowa
troops.
This is the design in the main, but q
great deal of historical ornamentation
was planned by Mrs. Ketcham, such as
battle scenes in immense bronze panels
OF the two great battles, Shiloh and
Donelson, in which Iowa troops won
such distinction, to be placed on two
sides OF the monument. In inches on
the remaining sides were to be two
ideal female figures representing Iowa
mourning its dead heroes and History
telling n reclining youth the story of the
war. The pcdiments were to contain
disk, while in the frieze there was room
for the twenty or thirty bronze medal
lion portraits of Iowa's distinguished
sons who took part in the war.

bincs the ideal with the historical.

SOLDIERS MONUMENT.
Description Of One to Be Erected
by the State of Iowa,
Mrs. Harriet Kctcham. n Mount Pleasant
Woman. Is tho Sculptor Be
Placed on tho Old State House
Site at Des Molues.

correspondent of the Chicago Trib-
une, writing from Mount Pleasant, H.,
is authority for the statement that for
the last five or six years the soldiers
monument commission of Iowa, organ
lied under Gov. Larrabec, has been
bending all it's energies toward securing
the erection of u state monument to
Iowa soldiers. An important step was
gained ut the session of the legislature
just closed in the passage of bill set
ting apart $500 and the location of a
site on the ground now occupied by the
old state house ut Dcs Moines.
The design for the monument which
the commission has selected is the
work of Iowa's only woman sculptor
Mrs. Harriet Ketcham-who, in the
midst of her ambitious career, was
claimed by death over n year ago. She
was Mount Pleasant girl and woman,
and it was with unfeigncd pleasure that
our city noted the action of the legisla-
ture in adopting her design and in talk
ing definite action toward the building
of the monument 1t seems strange that
SO prosperous state as Iowa, free from
debt, constantly increasing in wealth,
should have allowed thirty years to
pass since the war without, as a state,
raising memorial to her soldiers. 1t
is a matter of state pride that now the
monument is to be n fact rather than a
vision that Iowa should have q daugh-
ter of genius equal to the sacred duty of
remembering her sons.
A brief description of the monument
which is to enduringly commemorate
such valor may be of interest.

feet with six steps Upon this the main
structure stands, which, including the

Origin of tho Term "pork BILL"

was surprised at four congressman
not being able to tell why the word
pork" was used in connection with the
river and harbor bill, says Congressman
Tim Campbell, in the New York Adver-
t,ser. They all knew what pork"
meant, but they could not tell the
origin of it. 1t originated in story Of
lawsuit in some backwoods place
over some hogs. In that wild country
hogs were allowed to run Mt large and
fattcn on what they could find in
the woods. II these swine were not
carefully protected there was always a
dispute among the neighbors about
whose property they were That led
to this particular lawsuit a trial took
place before Il justice of the peace and
II jury of six of the ncighbors In the
face of strong evidence the jury brought
in a verdict that the hogs belonged to n
certain man who had certainly no claim
to them whatever. When they were
asked how they could bring in such an
unusual verdict, they replied that they
were interested in 4 share of the pork"
which was to be distributed among the
jury.

Midwsek Sabbath Well Observed Yes
terday.
Midweek Sabbath OF the union evan
gelistic meetings held by Mr.. Charles n.
Crittenton in Alameda was we'll observed
yesterday.
Nearly all the business houses and some
OF the saloons were closed and the popula-
tion by the hundreds focked to the gospel
tent on Park street and Central avenue.
Neighborh0od prayer meetings in private
houses were followed by church prayer
service at O'Clock, from which the devout
worshipers adjourned to the tent, where
an earnest sermon was preached by Evan
Gellst Crittenton.
A notable feature OF the afternoon service
was an earnest address ON Social Purity"
By the eminent round the-wor missionary
of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, Mrs. Mary Clement Leaviti.
Mrs Leavitt spoke most feelingy and
reused intense interest.
Mr.. Crittenton followed with a pleading
appeal to all to give their hearts to Christ.
AT the evening session the gospel tent
was jammed and standing room was at n
premium. j. r. McCarear. the singing
evangelist, with a fine chorus choir, led a
grand song service.
The evening was devoted to Florence
mission work.
j. w; Ellsworth made an eloquent appeal
for the home and many subscribed goodly
sums.
Mr.. CrittentoD followed with passionate
plea for those whom society shuns. He
took for his text the words of Isaiah
This Is people that are robbed and
spoiled; they are all shared in holes, and
they are hid in prison houses. They are
for prey, and none saith restore"
He told how he had been converted
through the death of his little daughter
Florence. and in her memory he founded the
Florence Mission in New Y York City for the
rescue Of erring girls.
Thousands have there been converted
and are to-day leading Christian lives
As Mr.. Crttenton and Mr. Ellsworth de-
picted the sad stories of these ostraczed
ones many eyes were filed with tears.
About 400 conversions have been made
aud the religious enthusiasm is intense.
Meetings close Sunday evening, EXCEPT a
converts meeting on Monday evening.
