A ROYAL TRIP.
Tho Fifty-First Regiment Receives =
Continual Ovation from Des

In speaking Of the trip of the Fifty.
first Iowa across the state from Des
Moines to Omaha Capt. Hugh Pickell
said that from the time the train left
Des Moines until it reached Omaha
there was one con inual and grand dem
onstration of enthusiastic patriotism
on the part of the people of Iowa. At
every farm score or more of men won.
en- and children We're in waiting, and
when the train sped by there was a
cheer, wave of the handkerchief and
huttering flags, ut every depot an i'm,
mense crowd greeted the troops with
cheers; at Atlantic the boys were filed
up on luscious fruits and delicious lem
onade, at Stuart princely dinner was
served, at Council Bluffs big supper
greeted them, and not for one second
were the Iowa boys permitted to think
that the people of Iowa were forgetting
them.

Reign of Trusts.

With absolute unanimity the re-

the people and not to tax the trusts.
Solid as a Roman phalanx the noble
republicans presented an unbroken
front to the democratic attempts at
reaching the boarded millions of the
plutocrats.
Taxes on the necessities of life were
favored by the republicans. The
poor mans luxuries were gladly plac-
ed on the tax list by these patriotic
and undetermined gentlemen, but
when tax on corporations was sug.
gested howl of indignant protest
was raised and the proposition was
promptly voted down.

SPAIN LOSES FIRST BATTLE.
United States Marine Resents Insult
Ing Language by Two SPAN
iards In New York.

One of the men Of the battleship
Texas, In full uniform, burdened with
small bundles of merchandise which he
had bought preparatory to going to Key
West to join his ship, was walking
through Oliver street, New York city,
the other evening toward the navy
yard ferry when he overheard two
spaniards saying i'll things of our pres
tdent, our navy, and our man-ot-wars
men. BE had served In the West Indies
and knew Spanish, and when he heard
the Spaniards declare that our fighting
chips were mere tubs he cleared for
cotton, SO to say, by dropping his pack
ages, and engaged with the offending
civilians.
In the Center Street police court he
described these circumstances In ex-
PLANTATION Of his arrest for disorderly
conduct, adding that he, Gus Cassowon
by name, was the sailmakers' smith Of
the Texas, that he was sick in hospital
when it steamed away, and he was now
about to join 1t. At that Magistrate
Olmstead declared to the prisoner.
Il am going to discharge you, even
though this may be construed as an act
OF war. When you get back to the navy
yard just report to the commandant
that the first battle In the Spanish
American difficulty has resulted In a
victory for our side"

SAME OLD swINDLE.
Lightning Rod shnrpers work the
Time-Worn Contract Game
Among the Farmers.

A gang of lightning rod agents who
rendezvoused in Murray for awhile are
reported to have worked the old, time
worn raised contract racket on several
people in the surrounding country.
About one of the first men they tackled
was William Barnes, who proved a
little too shrewd for the oily-tongued
gentlemen. They offered to rod his
house for certain sum and he agreed
to have the work done, but when they
demanded that he sign contract he re-
fused and told them there was no need
OF any paper being signed; for them to
go ahead and do the work, as the money
was ready when the work was done.
This they refused to do and took their
departure.
At another place they succeeded in
getting the man to sign the contract,
in which it was agreed to rod the house
for $40. After the work was done they
demanded $40, and upon being refused
produced the contract. which read $14O'
The farmer Immediately referred to his
duplicate contract, and that also read
S140, but when he signed it read $40. It
rs said he settled with the sharpers for
$125.
So far everything was coming their
way, and the sharpers tried their luck
with John Forsythe. Here they had
reckoned without their host. After
agreeing to rod the house for $40 they
sprung their original signed contract
for SIG, but John was not going to be
yictimized SO easily. He grabbed the
raised contract from the sharper's hand
and gently tossed the lightning rod
man out OF the house.

Yellowstone National Park,

The reputation Of this wonderful region,
probably the most unique and certainly the
only one Of It's kind In the world, becomes more
extended yearly. Mankind never tires OF seeing
or reading of It's grand GEYsER FOUNTAINS, its
superb CANYON, the beautiful YELLOWSTONE
LAKE more than 1000 feet above the ocean, the
high MOUNTAINS, the CASCADES and CATARAcTs,
the BEAR. ELK, DEER and ANTELOPE, the UNI
equalled TROUT fishing and other interesting
features found there.
The PARK is free to the WORLD and is under
the control Of the United States Government.
Large hotels. electric lighted and steam heated,
are found at convenient points and first class,
specially constructed four horse stage coaches,
transport tourists from place to place.
Wonderland 'sS has chapter which contains
q fund Of information about the Park that
makes it perhaps, peculiarly valuable for
SCHOOLS and TEACHERS. The features of the
Park are described and there is besides, a large
amount Of practical information about the
region and the ride through 1t. The Park tour
can be made either In the coaches. or on horse

THE SECOND CALL.
Under 1t the State omcial. VIII Have
No Part In the Recruiting
of Volunteers.


The officers Of the state are to have
no authority or part in recruiting vol
unteers under the second call to All up
the companies in the four regiments in
service to their maximum strength.
Furthermore, the recruiting officers
cannot be compelled to accept volun-
teers according to the apportionment
made by Gov. Shaw.
These facts were learned at the state
house when Adjt. Gen. Byers received a
copy of general order No. 61 from Adit.
Gen. Corbin, "by command of Gen.
Miles" Under the order recruiting
party of one officer and four enlisted
men detailed from each battalion of a
regiment will secure the men needed In
the locality where the organization was
raised. The recruiting officer is to be
an acting quartermaster, and will make
arrangements for the subsistence of the
recruits through the chief quartermas-
ter and chief eommissary.
The recruits will not be sent to Camn
Mckinley for equipment. The order
says that the recruits will be sent to the
regiments in small squads, without uni
forms, arms or equipment.
