IOWA BOYS ARRIVES.

On last Sunday about o'clock
the transport Senator arrived on the
cost of California, the whistles blew
and the bells rang out the arrival
and there was great joy in San Fran
cisco, especially among the Iowa
delegation who went to meet them;
within a few minutes the joyful news
was heralded to our capital city and
the whistles blew, bells rung and
everybody was very glad for the safe
arrival, as some had entertained
fears that the the raging typhoon
would damage the boat. 1t did
damage the boat considerable as
they were in the storm for one day
and night. They will remain in San
Francisco until they are mustered
out, which will take a few weeks,
than they will come directly home.
Des Moines and all the other towns
where there are soldiers from are

MARQUISVILLn MEETING

The Republican rally which was
billed for Marquisville last Tuesday
evening ives not very largely attend
ed on account of it being poorly ad-
vertised, yet after little prelimi-
nary work on the part Of a few
active people of Marquisville, Mr..
Smith took his horn and called quite
a number of voters together. While
the hall was not full yet every person
in the hall was a voter. Mr.. c. S.
Saylor (white) called the meeting to
order and introduced Mr.. George
Taylor as chairman. Mr.. Taylor
spoke of his service in the late Span
ish war as a soldier. He was sar
sgeant of the>Des. Moines Company
that Capt. Brandt took from here.
Rev. Henry McCraven was first
introduced and made speech, than
Attorney Frank Dobson (white) of
Des Moines was introduced. He
made an excellent talk, reading much
from President McKinley's recent
speeches, he also spoke on the tariff,
than Attorney John l.. Thompson
was introduced and spoke at length
holding his hearers attentively. Mr..
Robert N. Hyde was called on for
speech but owing to the lateness of
the hour declined.

VOTE THE REPUBLI
CAN TICKET.

The time has come when the COL
ored voters should stand united for
the Republican patty and principals
When to day we see in the light of
this intelligent age the Democratic
party, where ever it has the power,
ignoring and disfranchising the col
ored man of his franchise and his
citizenship. Colored voters, it is
high time for us to awaken to those
gross injustsces and nagrant wrongs
perpretrated by the Democratic
party in those states where they are
in control. They have already dis
franchised the colored voters in 7
Southern states. You have certain
ly not forgotten the horrible butch
e:y and blood shed in the Carolines
and Mississippi recently? And now
the Democratic party of Maryland
are taying to defeat the Republican
party in that state, get control of
the legislature, SO they can pass one
of those infamous constitutional
amendments to disfranchise the
Negro like some of the other south
ern states have done. They are
trying to buy the colored vote in
that state this year and have them
stay away from the polls, using every
method they know to weaken the
colored voters in that state. These
above facts show you my colored
man what they would do even in
Iowa if they only had majority.
The same Democratic party have
attempted to pass the jim, crow car
