A curious coincidence in the naming
of Iowa counties ID related by the Wat
ertoO Courier. 1t Is that beginning in
the northeastern corner of the state and
extending to the southern border in
westerly direction is chain of counties
broken only once, bearing Indian
names. In the extreme northeast cor
ner is Allamakee. Adjoining this is
Chickasaw, and then comes Bremen
which makes the break In the chain
Below Bremen is Blackhawk, adjoin-
ing which is Tama. On the south
boundary of Tama we find Poweshiek,
Mahaska, Wapello and Appanooseand
the chain is completed. The names
are Of Sac, Fox and Ioway origin and
the line Of these counties represent the
western boundary of the territory prob
ably travelled over by these tribes in
their hunting excursions west Of the
Mississippi.

The news Of the death Of Moses Cove,

pense than at the state asylums, and
asa result the state institutions are
rapidly becoming depopulated. The
board has become convinced that c0un-
ty institutions cannot give inmates as
good care as state institutions, and con-
sequently have issued this order. The
board has applied to the attorney gen.
eral for an opinion a. to the right Of
the counties to remove their patients
from the state institutions without con-
sent, and will, If possible, maintain
this order. The state has built four
large institutions for this purpose, and
1t is very probable, especially ii the
present rate of withdrawal should con-
tinue, that there will be no use for the
big new Cherokee asylum.
At any rate this may bring forth
some lively contests between the Board
Of Control and some Of these counties
who are erecting local insane asyluins.
B.& L. Association Changes Plan.
The stockholders Of the DEBORAH
Building and Loan Association held a
special meeting in the rooms of the
Decorah Club on Saturday evening for
the purpose Of discussing the advisable
ity of lessening the cost of membership
to borrowers. The change in the con-
stitution "a made provides for . straight
2 per cent. rate to borrowers. 1. e., by
the former plan borrowers paid In $l6
per mouth per $1,000; now they will
be required to pay only $ll.s4 per
month. This was done In the interest
Of Decorah, that peorle might build
homes with . small outlay and q rea-
sOnable rate Of interest, at the sama
time sharing in the profits of the asso-
citation. The new plan cannot fail to
meet with approval and will without
doubt populsrize the Building 4 Loan
