The Department of Justice recently re-

of the United States prisoners by the au-
thorities of the Raleigh. N. c.. peniten-
tiary. Similar complaints have also been
sent to The Star by men confined in the
prison. One of the letters says that four
men were badly beaten some time ago, and
that the officials claimed to have permits

the whipping.

told some time ago that they could not use

NJ. Labori asked the courts leave with

ton of Dreyfus.
Il have absolute confidence in the good
faith of Lieutenant Colonel Bertin," added
NJ. Labor, and Il am convinced that if
his recollections are exact enough he will
not hesitate to reply"
Berth asked the lawyer to mention the
name of the mutual friend who gave the
dinner, NJ. Labor whispered the name and
the witness nodded assent.

were among the first to suggest to me the
belief in the innocence of Dreyfus
Bertin-"No, no; 1t is impossible"
NJ. Labori-'Does the witness remember
that during the course of the dinner he
became excited in talking about Dreyfus"
The lieutenant colonel pointed out that
the terms of intimacy which prevailed at
the dinner must be taken into account, re-

No News in Ii.

This morning The Capital received
from an active newspaper correspond
ent at Newport, Rhode Island, the fol-
lowing:
Daily Capital, Des Moines: Speaker
Henderson being liOnized. Anything
by mail or wire? Refer TO New Eng
land manager Associated Press.
With all due regard to the active
young man who sent the above in pur-
suit of business, we can say that the
Capital does not want anything by mail
or wire. 1t is nothing new for Col.
Henderson to be lionized. 1t has been
going on for thirty years, yea, even
forty years. 1t began when he resided
on Bowen's Prairie, in Jones county,
He was the lion of the spelling school,
the baseball team; was great big lion
among the girls, has been growing
lion from that time until the present.
When he goes about over Iowa he is
met at the train not by the bus and
baggage wagon. but by the landlord
himself Half way up town ne is met
by the bell boy and the man who does
the heavy lifting about the hotel, and
there is a jealous rivalry as to who
shall carry the valise. When he
reaches the tavern he is lionzed in the
Office by the hostlers and hangers-on;
and the villagers come in and take a
hand; in fact, take both hands. When
he reaches the dining room the waiter
girls make grand slide, each endeav-
oring to get to the colonel first to as
certain his slightest wish In relation to
beefsteak or cold meats. When he re-
turns to the office the travelling men
have come in from their afternoons
work and the colonel is lionzed again
by the generous boys who travel on the
road. But it is when the campaign
opens that lionizing begins and at it's
height. The colonel was born to be
lionized. 1t is no longer surprise to
him. When the last trumpet shall
sound he will be welcomed on high
and will be lionized there. The young
man at Newport need not trouble
himself to send anything TO the
Capital. We want something new

SOME IOWA HISTORY.
Some of the Early Incidents We All
Should Know.

What do you know about the early
history of your own state? How many
of these simple facts could you have
given offhand if you had been asked?
What is now known as the State of
Iowa became a part of the United
States in 1903. Ia 1904 it was known
as the District of Louisiana. March 3,
1906, it was organized as the territory
of Louisiana. In 1912 it was known
as the Territory of Missouri, and in
1884 it became part of the Territory
of Michigan. In 1885 it was included
in the Territory of Wisconsin. In
1898 it was organized as the Territory
of Iowa and was admitted into the
union as state in December, lS46
The first legislative body that ever
sat in the present limits of the State of
II va was the territorial legislature,
which was composed OF few men,
and convened in little room in an old
frame building, gone years ago, situat-
ed on Front street, Burlington, in the
winter of 1888. Robert Lucas, for
mer governor of Ohio, was appointed
by President Van Buren to be COVER
nor of the territory. Gov. Lucas was
disposed to WELD the large veto power
he possessed with the sway of an auto
crat, and stormy session was the re-
suit. The great wrangle arose over
the location of the capital of the terri
tory. Both Burlington and Mount
Pleasant, in the southern part OF the
Blackhawk purchase wanted it, while
their opponents favored a central
location. The central party won.
Three commissioners were appointed
to select the site of the seat of govern
ment, within the limits of Johnson
county. They picked out place and
laid out a square mile, which they
called Iowa City, and there the capitol
was located.
The eighth and last session of the
territorial legislature was held there
in 1894. In February, 1874, the
legislature adopted an act submitting
to the people of the territory the pro-
position to form state constitution
and apply for admission to the union.
The measure carried, and the conven-
ton met at Iowa City in October, and
on the first day of the following
November finished its work and re-
ported state constitution and state
boundaries. The latter did not suit.
The line between this state and Mis-
souri, lay 80 miles north Of its present
location, and the western line stopped
far short of the Missouri. By small
majority the people rejected the lines.
May 4, 1916, another convention as
sembled at Iowa City, and another
constitution, prescribing the present
state boundaries, was drafted. The
people adopted it, congress approved
it, and Iowa was admitted as state
