Iowa Political Notes

The democrats in the Second district are
mentioning Judge Hayes frequently as can
ddate for congress against Congressman
Curtis.
only one Of the Iowa members of congress
has expressed disncination to run again
this year, and all of them have had two or
more terms.
correspondent of the Chicago Inter
Ocean from Des Moines says that Governor
Shaw is likely candidate for United States
senator two years hence.
Ackley Hubbard of Clay, Senator Hobart of
Cherokee, Frank Helsell of Buena Vista and
G.. w. Pitts of Sioux have all been mentioned
in connection with the republican nomina-
ton for congress in the Eleventh district
this year.
An Appanoose county newspaper suggested
republican nomination for congress in the
Eighth district, but the Creston Gazette says
1t was wholly without authority from the
gentleman suggested.
The retirement of Homer A. Miller from
the race for the republican nomination for
state auditor leaves the contest between W.
S. Allen of Van Buren, and Frank F. Mer-
riam OF Delaware. Mr.. Miller withdrew be-
cause he found 1t necessary to go to Cali
fornia with his wife for her health.
The republican press of the Ninth district
with very few exceptions is solid for the
denomination of Congressman Hager, says
the Creston Gazette. Mr.. Hager has made a
record In congress which does his district
and himself great honor 1t is probable he
will be a candidate another time, and II he
Is the indications are very pointed in his
direction.

Iowa Press Comment.

Waterloo Courier: The legislature is
doing much good work this winter without
any brass band features, either.
Cedar Rapids Republican: Neither the
gold nor the silver current was turned
aside in the least by Uncle Horace Boies
and his little broom-or was 1t his little
boom?
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: II Is estimated
that 1t would cost Iowa s750,000 to put into
operation the scheme for uniform text
books, but that is nothing to the cost of
getting 1t out OF operation again.
Keokuk Gate City: The present legs-
lature has the confidence and good will of
the people Of Iowa quite generally. 1t has
done good work thus far and gives promise
OF more OF the same kind in the near fu-
ture IL 1t shall continue as II has begun
the people of the state will have reason to
be satisfied with it and the results of its
labor for the most part.
Creston Gazette: The Ray bill for state
uniformity Of text books is meeting with lit
tie favor in the legislature and there are
no indications that its progress will extend
tional interests of the state are opposed
to uniformity and especially are they op-
posed to the plan as formulated In Repre-
sentative Rays bill.
Davenport Democrat The teachers OF the
state almost without exception, are opposed
to the bill introduced by Representative
Ray, calling for statewide uniformity in
text books The teachers are opposed to
any legislation that will restrict them In
the selection of the best books, regardless
OF whether they are printed in Iowa or
elsewhere. And most thinking persons will
agree that the teachers are right.

Mrs. Mcclellan well knows the horrors OF
war from terrible experience. Her home was
on the battlefield OF Gettysburg and during
the battle her sister was killed while at
work in the kitchen. Hers was large

posted in it during the fight. Less than a

thundered during the two days OF fshthg.

HEARD LINCOLN AT GETTYSBURG
Iowa Woman Tells About the Famous
Memorial Address.

Memorial Address.
DENISON, Ia, Feb. Especial Mrs.
Georgia Mcclellan of Denison was present at
the dedication of the cemetery at Gettys-
burg, November 10, 1863 and heard Lincoln
deliver the address which has become I'M
mortal. She has vivid recollection of the
great event and likes to talk of 1t. 1t was
a bright fall day that opened for the dedi-
cation and early in the morning people be-
gan to gather for the services. She lived
upon Cemetery hill near the inclosure, and
upon the Baltimore pike, the main road from
the town to the cemetery. All forenoon a
steady stream OF people poured along the
thoroughfare past the house but Mrs. Nc
Clellan had not intended to go to the serv-
ices, for she was i'll and still unrecovered
from the terrible experiences OF the battle.
About IL o'clock Lincoln and his escort OF
soldiers and notables of the town came rid
ing along on horseback and so impressed
was she by the presidents appearance that
everything was put aside and without delay
she made her way to the grounds. One OF
the saddest and most impressive sights of
the procession was delegation OF hfty
wounded soldiers from York hospital, men
who had been injured In the battle but
few months before. % u:
The military was under command OF
Major General Couch. In the escort rode
Colonel ]. II. Mcclellan, father OF j. l.. Nc
Clellan, Mrs MeClelaH's husband, who was
at the time down in! front of Richmond. The
cemetery comprises seventeen acres sur
rounded by stone fence, made by piling
up the rocks and boulders gathered from the
field. Within this inclosure there were
thousands of people eagerly waiting, and 1t
was noon before the services commenced.
Ere they did Mrs. Mcclellan had secured a
place on a mound OF stones within fifteen or
twenty feet OF the platform. During the
address Of Edward Everett Mr., Lincoln vas
deeply affected and the tears rolled down
n.e cheeks. When Ms turn came he slowly
arose; taller than the others and less pol
ished, his appearances seemed awkward to a
degree. He was dressed In a suit OF black
with a white standing collar, having square
corners but In that day not unstiffened.
Around 1t was black band tie. His hat
was OF beaver and noticeable for its shape,
for It was OF an earlier style and not then In
vogue.
When he first got up he seemed terribly
embaI rassed, but as he continued this be-
came less evident. AS he spoke he did so
with tho deepest feeling and in his delivery
showed how great was his emotion. During
the speech and after no one seemed to rea-
lize what he said, AT the time 1t was no:
the words. but the manner In which Mr..
Lincoln spoke that so deeply affected his
hearers. Tears started to their eyes and in
their hearts burned feeling OF greater
devotion.
Many stories are told OF how Mr.. Lincoln

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Feb. 16.-The first
witness called in the Lattimer ehooting case
today was Frank Meteshk. He told about
the march to Lattmer and then said:
"The sheriff stopped us at Lattimer and
got hold of two Of the men who were lead
ing us. He pulled them out of the line and
let them go, and aiming his revolver at a
man standing within a few feet of him he
fired. The man fell, and cried, oh, God,
help me-. The next moment there was an
other shot. and then vollcy. After that
there was a number of shots"
On cross-eXamination Meteschik was
asked IL he could tell what man it the
sheriff shot. He did not know his name,
but thought he could remember his face.
Attorney Lanahan for the prosecution there
upon asked the commonwealth to produce
him, but the man could not be found.
Martin Soforoneck told the story of the
march to West Hazleton. At Lattimer,
he sald the sheriff stopped the
marchers. He told how the sheriff
had pulled two men from the ranks
and then shot one down. Soforoneck became
very much confused in his cross-examina-
ton and on four occasions was obliged to
confess that he had not told the truth when
he made various statements
Before the court adjourned at noon Mike
Mulado, the man who was shot by the
sheriff, was brought into court. Meteschik
was asked IL he recognized Mullado as the
man who was shot down by the sheriff

placed in the High school building at the
orders of the board. but with the guaranty
that the newly patented device would save
20 per cent of the fuel required to heat the
building and would also improve the de-
fective ventilation, which had been a cause
of complaint The board rejected the device,
Smith sues for the price and 5000 damages,
amounting in all to about $500. The testi-
mony yesterday was largely given by the
teachers of the High school as to the ven

conflicting but showed that the device would

Southwestern Town Teachers Asso-
citation Plans Disarrnnged.
E. o. French, president of the Southwest
ern Iowa Teachers association, has issued
circular announcing the postponing of the
annual meeting of the association from
March 81 to some date yet to be fixed next
fall. The meetings have always been held
here about April 1 and continue for three
days and the usual dates were agreed upon
at the October meeting of the association
and again confirmed and ordered published
at the last meeting held in December. Pres
ident French says that after engaging
speakers, and while the details of the pro-
gram were still under consideration, II was
learned that the executive committee of the
Southeastern Iowa Teachers association had
arranged, without knowledge OF this pub
lication, to select the same dates for its
meeting and had completed the program.
Superintendents Barrett and Sabin, Presi
dent Seerley and others had accepted places
upon both programs End 1t was urged that
the southwest meeting be postponed, the
state superintendent being especially de-
sirous Of calling together the county super
intendents at this meeting 1t was found
that such postponement would bring this
meeting within one or two weeks of the
meeting of the Northwestern Iowa Teachers
association at Sioux City and would also oc-
cur while most Of the schools were to be in
session.
In view Of these facts, together with the
important fact of the ississippi Edu-
cational congress in Omaha next June, the
executive committee, after much corre-
spondeuce with school men in this section
of the state, wherein is found very gen.
eral sentiment favorable to such change, has
decided to postpone the meeting Of the
Southwestern Iowa Teachers association un-
til next fall
1t is expected that the program will then
be carried out as far as arranged at present
and all persons who have accepted appoint
meats are requested to consider them per-
manent.
