Iowa Press Comment.

Sioux City Tribune: Canada is fooling
with the question of prohibition of the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors.
She should look up the record in Iowa on
this question as a horrible example.
Cedar Rapids Republican; In a short time
now the Iowa troops will all be in the field
ready for duty. They have been a little
slow in getting ready for action, but they
are we'll prepared for service now and VIII
acauit themselves like men.
Des Moines Capital: The signing of the
pay rolls developed that all the Iowa troops
| are able to write their W names. The
muster roll OF a Kentucky regiment con-
tanned over 400 crosses, indicating that
! many of the boys were obliged to sign by
making their mark. The Kentucky troops
i. the late war were likewise deficient in
education, but there was no complaint as to
their fighting qualities.
Keokuk Gate City: A member of Com
pany G, Fiftieth low regiment, writes
home TO the Ottumwa Courier from Jack
sonville that a number of the soldiers in
that company have decided to locate in the
south after the war. He says Kentucky
seems to be the favorite state with the
majority of the men, although some of then
are rapidly taking up with Jacksonville
They are being treated royalty In ths

DIES MONIES, June 3.-(Special. Gov
ernor Shaw has returned from Anamosa,
where he was called on account of a mutiny
in the Iowa state penitentiary. About 200
of the convicts had rebelled against the
orders of Warden Hunter last Monday for
the observance of Memorial day. Hereto
fore it has been the custom of the wardens
to allow the prisoners the freedom of the
yards on holidays, permitting them to en-
gage in amusements, games, ETC., and re-
frain from work. Warden Hunter changed
this program somewhat. He had arranged
to give the men q nice talk, give them a
| bountiful dinner and allow them to refrain
from labor the entire day, but decided to
keep them confined during the entire day
| When he announced the program a number
began hooting and yelling and raising a
frightful disturbance.
Those who took part in this demonstra-
ton were marched to their cells and told
they would nave to remain there, without
bread, meat or water, until they had decided
to abide by the rules of the prison. This
only tended to make matters worse, and
all day long they kept up their hooting and
yelling. Some windows were broken by the
men throwing the iAints they have to ligh,
their pipes o9"7s
Monday night Governor Shaw was here
and he and WardenhHunte walked into thu
yards. Some of tfeqmen recognized tn
Tuesday morning there was no change. Thu
men were as rebellipps as at first and KEEP
up their unearthlybn noises. The fact tina
they had had nothing, to eat or drink sine
the morning before seemed to have had NJ
effect upon them, eS1ept to make then
worse. Warden Hunter, however, was hrn
and Tuesday AFTERNOON the rebellious con
victs sent word to him that they had enougI
of it and that they would be quiet and peace
able hereafter. They: were brought dow
at supper time half furnished from their Ion
fast. Every man WAS as meek as a lam
and no further trouble is anticipated.
