HE KNOWS WHITE

Hon. Jack Morrison, postmaster at
Hedrick, who knows Keokuk county
politics from to 2, has had publish
ed letter charging Fred White, the
democratic candidate for governor,
with having, in a Fourth of July adj
dress at Sigourney, Ia. in 1874 or 10,
attacked the Catholics.
White was republican and was
slated for nominations for represent
tive by the republicans. Concern
ing this speech Mr.. Morrison says in
his letter.
''Mr. White said the only danger
to the public schools was from the
Catholics. They We're beholden, he
continued, to foreign hierarchy.
Their head, the pope, was a foreign
potentate, who gave his orders to
the bishops and priests in the United
States for their political action. The
great mass of the laymen were ignor-
ant and implicitly obeyed the educat
ed priests. Their system of religion
was opposed to republican form OF
government, and therefore, they were
a dangerous element in the COM
munity."
Mr.. Morrison adds that after this
speech the republicans dropped
White and he soon became a green
hacker and afterwards full-fedged
democrat.

COUNCIL MEETS.
City Solicitor Preston Addresses
a Letter to the City Council.

There was a called meeting of the
city council Saturday afternoon at q
O'Clock for the purpose of making an
other attempt at the election of city
clerk. The following letter addressed
to the council by City Solicitor B. w.
Preston was read:
OsKALoosA, Iowa, Oct. Is, '99,
To the City Council of the City of
Oskaloosa:-GENTLEMEN:-Th in
terests of this city are suffering and
are jeopardized by reason of the fail
ure of the council to elect city clerk
to succeed D. @. Waggoner resigned.
Numerous questions have already
arisen as to the validity of some of
the acts of this body because of the
fact that no clerk has been elected.
Another important matter as to the
matter of certifying to the auditor,
which under the law must be dore
soon, the matter Of paving and side
walk and other Improvement assess
ments involving several thousand
dollars? There is a suit now pending
against the city involving $500 in
which it is claimed by the plaintiff
that the city is liable to pay said sum
because the assessment was not
properly made. While don't think
that the city is liable for that reason,
still, the question is raised and must
be determined by the court. Similar
questions may arise as to all the i'm
provements made this year. 1t may
also be questioned whether any ordi-
nance passed, the water ordinance or
any other, would be legal or admiss-
able in evidence unless properly re-
ordered by the clerk. There are
other questions.
The matter is getting serious. You
have the power under the statute and
it is your duty to at once elect a city
clerk and avoid all these questions.
The responsibility rests upon you,
and upon you alone. The interests
of this city, which each of you have
sworn to protect, demand that you
raise above any mere politics or game
of politics.
For these reasons among others l
urge upon you that you do your duty
and at once elect a clerk. 1t may be
that tits not my duty to instruct you,
but under the circumstances l feel
justified in making these suggestions
and trust that you will not feel that
/ am interfering.
Respectfully,
B. W. PRESTON, Solicitor.

HOFFMANN BROTHERS,
TIoGA.

TI0GA.
Tioga is to-day's saddest theme,
Until now scarcely heard nor SEEM
But at Tioga is where heroes died,
Known now is Tioga the world wide
Tiogal it was told in whispered breath
OF awful wreck there and of death!
OF rushing trains each the other met
OF orders wrong, these let us forget!
Tioga flashed like a meteor came,
Tho placed in the galaxy of fame,
Where brightly aglow ever will tell
OF immortality for those who fell.
Tioga's passengers all were saved,
When death against them seemed ar
rayed,
Was one to guard on duty that day,
Allen, dying, held danger at bay.
Tioga is now a tender shrine
For anguished hearts through coming
time;
a mem'ry of loved ones brave man
hood,
Who at duty's peril cen death with,
stood.
Tioga's heroes to laud would be just,
How ended with death each faithful
trust;
Tell of manly hearts and moral worth
Each as type from the best of earth.
Tioga shall yet by poet be sung,
Each word a pearl to melody hung,
Bringing solace to those who yearn
Sweet incense on loves altar to burn.

A Bad Indian.

Some one got the Indian that does
service as a tobacco sign in front of
the Campbell cigar factory on First
avenue west in great amount of
trouble Saturday night. Some one
took the festive red.skin out and evil
IDENTIFY got the poor fellow full, for
when he returned he proceeded to
make his entrance through the large
plate glass window, which he success
fully accomplished, much to the sor-
row of the glass-and others. No
one was present when the gentleman
arrived, but it was presumably about
1880 Sunday morning when it hap
pened
