The 10th day of August has been
designated by Governor Jackson as
'Battle Flag Day" and the surviving
members of regiments are requested to
take personal part in the exercises on
that day. The flags will be removed to
the capitol by members of the various
companies. The colored veterans who
were in the Sixtieth United States
Colored Infantry, First Iowa, African
DESCENT under command of Col Hud-
son, are earnestly requested to be pres
ent and take charge Of their flag.
There will be no better way in which
the coiored soldiers can call to mind
their patriotism and unselfish devotion
to the country than by their assembling
on this occasion and carrying their flag.
There are 1873 flags. We hope the color
ed soldiers belonging to the sixtieth
United States Infantry will make a
special effort to be present and assist
in commemorating the deeds OF valor
and devotion to our country. Henry
Sheely is the only member of the above
company who has SO far reported and
he is doing everything in his power to
have as large representation as pos
sible. One fare for the round trip on
all roads leading into Des Moines to
those attending Battle Flay Day ex-
ercises.

Miss Platt has worked hard and earnest
ly for her education. She held the posi-
ton of stenographer and private seere-
tary in one place for nine years. She
began the study of law i'll 1892 and
graduated from school with standing

NEGROES OF CURACOA.
How They Risked Their Lives Against
Great Odds to BE Free.

How They Risked Their Lives Against
Great Odds to BE Free.
An anecdote about these Curacean
Negroes is well worth interpolating, so
illustrative is it of that love of liberty
admired by all Americans, says the
New York World. During the 40's the
republic of Venezuela abolished slavery
and enacted that whoever stepped on
Venezuelan soil by that act became
free The negroes of the neighboring
Dutch Island heard of this and they
also learned the scient tific fact that
during certain period of the year the
gulf stream makes a curious sharp
curve around the island and carries
with fierce current towards the main
land.
Unable to make or steal boats, many
of these Negroes. usually well treated
on the plantations, used to cut down
trees, lop off these superfiuous limbs,
and lashing themselves to these trunks
on dark nights when the wind was
blowing strongly with the current.
these daring navigators would trust
themselves to the tempest and the
ocean in the hope of being cast on the
land of the free. Many perished.
Some succeeded. Such was the type
of colored men who invented the
cordial curacao.

WELL REPRESENTED.

The Negroes of Iowa We're ably rep
resented in the state convention by four
competent and honorable representa-
tives of their race. These gentlemen
have long been identified with the best
interest of the state as we'll as aggres-
sive exponents Of their race. Messrs.
T. L. Smith and Arge Washington Of
Lee county, James Washington OF
Woodbury. county and Jno. L. Thomp-
son of Decatur county need no exten-
sive Introduction to the people of our
state. These men are Republicans who
know that this government should
protect every citizen, whether at home
or abroad; men who stand ready to
defend and protect the constitution Of
the United States; men whose political
reputation is spotless: men whose every
act is in accordance with their con-
victions; men who love their race and
the grand state in which they live; men
who necessarily strive to preserve the
moral, intellectual and religious honor
of their race. Iowa is proud of such a
showing. No race or political party
can point with more pride to their del
egates who attended the state conven-
ton than can the Negro race. Their
service to the race and the Republican
party attest their greatness. In
obedience to instructions or party plat
form these men have never disregarded
or betrayed cause or friend Firm
in principle and standing as these men
do on the highest eminence of human
distinction is both patriotic and
commenda BILE,
